I Got Isekai'd, Well Shyt! Vol. 1, 2, and 3

Vol.3 Are You Ready to See My Mother?

The city of Lomar was the third biggest city in the Maldurian domain. It's known for its alchemist academy and is also a central trading hub, with an abundance of alchemists and other magical professions.

The city, with a population of 700,000, is governed by Mayor Kowalski. He's in his early fifties and has been the mayor for five years, having been appointed by the Royal Family to his current position. He was a retired member of the Royal Council after thirty years of service and is still a loyal friend of the royal family.

He's slightly overweight and shorter than the average human male, but he stood with his men in position as they observed the prince's convoy approaching the city gate.

He felt an overwhelming sense of nervousness, his heart pounding in his chest and his hands trembling uncontrollably. Despite the anxiety, he was determined to carry out his duty with as much composure as possible. However, the challenge was compounded by the need to maintain the secrecy of the Queen's presence and the arrival of the Crown Prince. Regrettably, he was aware of an impending threat from a dark elf. He had to ensure that guards were positioned on the rooftops, poised to unleash a barrage of arrows upon the carriage upon receiving the signal from the General. Unfortunately, he couldn't directly inform his men about the possible danger, so he had to be cautious in his directives.

Once, the convoy came to a halt at the city gates. The mayor and the general saluted each other.

General Douglas, Sir Richard, and Sir George approached the mayor.

"Mayor Kowalski. How's the city?" Sir Richard asked.

The Mayor bowed, "G-Good, sir. W-Welcome. A-Are you here t-to escort the... u-um..."

"Yes... Everyone is here... But you seem nervous... Is her ladyship... Displeased?" General Douglas asked the Mayor about the Queen's mood. He knew they were a day behind schedule, and Kowalski must have been taking the brunt of Her Majesty's displeasure.

"N-No... She's quite... happy... But she was worried when you didn't show up yesterday," the mayor answered while looking at the carriage with worry.

"Well, a little ambush happened three days ago. But it wasn't anything we couldn't handle," General Douglas said.

Sir George shook his head, "It was Her Ladyship who did most of the work. But we did have a bit of fun."

"Hahahaha... Yeah, I haven't had that much fun dealing with bandits in a while... She's more skilled than I could've ever guessed," Richard chuckled.

"I have to admit that she's a good one, alright," Douglas agreed, as they were trying not to divulge Rya's race out in the public.

"A-Ambush!? W-Who were the ones to attack you?" Mayor Kowalski asked.

"A good sized bandit group... It was he who sent them. But we'll talk about it later. For now, let's head into the city," Sir Douglas said as he referred to Duke Alaric as "he" to the mayor.

The Mayor nodded, "Well, I'm glad no one is hurt... But General... I-Is our... g-guest, friendly?" He asked the general in code if the dark elf was going to cause a problem.

"No... I mean, she's fine. I mean, she won't cause trouble... I mean... Ugh... What I'm saying is she's a good person. I trust her with the lives of everyone in the city," the General stumbled over his words.

"O-Okay... B-But is there any reason why she shouldn't come into the city?" Mayor Kowalski asked.

General Douglas sighed, "Kowalski, I was just like you when I first encountered her... But everything I thought I knew about her was wrong... Tell them to stand down. I'll inform our ladyship about her."
