259 – The Most Gorgeous Coffin for You (3)
Airships appeared in history-
After Nostrum ended.
This was after Saint Geo Nostrum fled to Morgania and was dragged like an animal to the slaughterhouse and executed.
According to the ‘Five-Point Plan to Attack Nostrum’ later obtained through the Empire, airships developed by the Empire were scheduled to be deployed unconditionally.
Whether it was an airship for transporting large-scale personnel or a small airship developed to respond to dragoons, something flying in the sky was bound to appear at least once through the development of wind stones.
Since it was a plan led by the emperor, security was thorough, and Nostrum had no interest in the empire.
It’s just that life doesn’t always go as planned, and the emperor’s insurance policy hit the jackpot, and the airship did not make its debut in war.
An object developed to cross the Gibraltar Gorge.
However, with all three gates of Gibraltar opened, the imperial army was able to cross the canyon on its own.
In other words.
From noble mtl dot nete
The airship appeared after the death of King Incompetent.
The emperor summoned Governor Carmen and the Nostrum administrators, including traitor Gray, and gave them a ride on an airship as a final highlight.
What should I say about the shock at that time? It was the third biggest shock in my life.
Humans can fly in the sky without the help of magic and dragons.
While I was just standing still, I felt a rumbling vibration from below, and it was truly shocking to see a huge ship flying through the sky and passing through the Gibraltar Gorge.
And over the next few years, he saved up his budget and purchased a small airship that the County of Gibraltar could operate on its own.
For some reason, my budget was tighter than I expected, so I bought a few more, but I also took Astasia on a trip throughout Nostrum using a small airship.
…I had to collect dead people after a trip and such cases were more frequent than expected, but despite that, I couldn’t give up taking the airship.
You will know it when you ride it.
An airship is something that is definitely worth trying at least once, even if humans cannot experience the feeling of flying many times.
When humans see the earth from the sky, their horizons expand and they feel like they are seeing a new world.
To ride an airship once, you have to save up enough money to ride the train about 10 times, and sometimes the arrival time is similar to that of the train –
‘Anyone who is curious should definitely try it at least once.’
A ship flying.
Can I bear it?
Not at all.
People who have flown an airship once know the experience, so it is okay to think that they can do it later when the technology is developed even if they do not have to ride it again. However, those who have never flown one have no choice but to look forward.
Just the thought of a ship flying in the sky is unbearable.
This is something that even the seemingly decent Crimson Marquis of Gibraltar cannot tolerate.
“Grey.”
“Yes, father.”
Like right now.
“I guess I should type first.”
“…”
My father was robbed of his first flight after the launch ceremony.
* * *
[Marquess of Gibraltar, Caroline Castle. A study room exclusively for the Marquis.]
My father called me by my last name, Caroline.
“The airship is now in its final stages?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll have to take a test drive. See if it’s safe or not.”
“Father.”
After calling Director Bathory and installing a gold stone, he came to get permission to secretly insert internal supplies through the budget of the Marquess of Gibraltar, but suddenly my father tried to make it public.
“A ship made of gold is clearly a coffin for the damned incompetent king. But is it really necessary to give him the first flight?”
“If it’s not your first flight, chances are he won’t be interested.”
“Why?”
“There has been a tendency in the past to compare ships to women. The expression may be a bit awkward, but if its maiden flight is taken away, Saint Geo Nostrum may not fly on an airship.”
“…”
My father was silent for a moment.
Rather than feeling uncomfortable with the expression ‘maiden flight’ itself, it was because St. Geo Nostrum could actually do such a thing.
“Well, if that happens, the golden airship we prepared will only be used for purposes other than its original purpose.”
“That’s right. It was created to kill someone, but it will just be used as a flying ship.”
“…Couldn’t it be used?”
“No, father.”
“Grey.”
I had a different opinion with my father.
“If it’s just an unofficial first flight, wouldn’t our family be able to do it first? I know you’ve worked hard, but it seems a bit wrong to hand it over to Saint Geo before we can even enjoy our first flight.”
“Even the unofficial first flight can be unpleasant because it was in the hands of someone else. It is such an unpredictable being.”
“For safety reasons, wouldn’t it be possible to say that we actually did a test run? It’s nothing else but flying. There’s a limit to keeping a secret, and if you fly in the sky and then crash for no reason.. ..”
My father frowned for a moment.
“To crash to death?”
“It wasn’t intentional, but it would happen if an incompetent king was driving a ship and accidentally broke the windstone and it crashed. But at least it wasn’t the first flight.”
“Uhm…”
“We have separate plans for turning the golden airship into a flying king’s tomb, so could you just please bear with us for the first flight?”
“Uhm…”
“Uhm… Don’t just say that. Why are you acting like a father? Did your mother say you wanted to ride an airship?”
“That’s it.”
My father shook his head with a very perplexed look.
“…Ruby, Marine, Sharpie, and Topaz said they wanted to ride it sometime.”
“Ah.”
Who are these people? They are my younger brothers.
“No, wait a minute. Isn’t Topaz just a newborn baby?”
“A newborn? They even run around these days. I don’t know because you’ve never raised a child, but they grow up that fast.”
“Ha…”
And after I joined the academy as chairman, I got a youngest sister named Topaz.
The exact time is after the Yeongji War.
He said he would give me a huge gift after winning the territory battle, but I never imagined that it would be a renewal of my youngest sister.
Even so.
“Because the kids want to ride on an airship…?”
“At first, he wanted to ride the flying dragon, so I tried to persuade him well. But later, when he saw the magic automatic ship, he said, ‘Wouldn’t it be okay to tie the flying dragon here and fly?’”
“…”
“It’s not impossible, but there seems to be a lot of interest in that. Take a look at this.”
His father operated a device on one side of the study, and soon opened the door to a hidden treasure trove.
“Suddenly what…”
“Didn’t you draw it well?”
My father took out a picture frame so large that he had to stretch out his arms to lift it.
And the frame was not a portrait of the Marchioness Charlotte, but rather a bunch of pictures drawn with 12-color crayons, which were mainly used by children in the Empire.
“Here, it’s an imaginary painting drawn by your younger siblings. Can you see it? It shows four flying dragons flying in the sky, tying ropes to a carriage from all directions.”
“Uhm…”
“When I told Marin and Sharpie about windstones, the children attached a large number of windstones to the bottom of Caroline Castle and drew them flying in the sky.”
“It looks like an island in the sky, like something from a mythical era or a fairy tale.”
Floating castle.
It’s not impossible.
Theoretically it is possible, but wouldn’t a huge amount of mana be needed to keep a castle or an island floating in the sky using wind stones?
“It’s definitely an unusual idea to call it a child’s imagination.”
“Right?”
“Yes, but that’s why I can’t burn it any more.”
“…Why?”
“How can we take our younger siblings on board when their safety has not been confirmed?”
“…”
The father twitched the corner of his mouth as if he had been hit, but then he twitched the corner of his mouth and gestured toward the inside of the treasure trove.
“That’s what they say, guys.”
“…!”
At that moment, I realized that my father’s gesture was to reap the miracle he had set up himself.
And I can feel the popularity.
“…No?”
Lettar is on one side, and on the other side, Lettar and her younger sisters are looking at me with their heads sticking out.
“No, father. You can’t tell me such an important story, no, the difficult story before that.”
“They didn’t tell me. They had been deceiving me from the beginning.”
“…”
“This is a conversation between you and me. Could it be possible that I would tell your younger siblings something dangerous?”
When my father bent down and stretched out his arms to the sides, my sisters instantly closed to him and hugged him as if they were magnets.
“It looks like my eldest brother is very worried. It’s a shame, but I guess we’ll take the flying boat next time.”
“Uh, that doesn’t work…?”
“…”
“Hey…”
My younger sisters instantly looked at me.
There was a hint of ‘disappointment’ in their eyes, even if only for a moment.
“Ha, haha.”
It’s absurd.
“No, it’s just a ship flying in the sky. Why…?”
“That’s just it. Have you ever taken it on a test drive?”
“…No, that’s not it.”
Once again, I realized it again.
The returnee has experience riding an airship.
However, people other than those who have those memories have no experience riding on airships made at the time.
So, it is natural that my father also wants to ride it out of pure curiosity.
“Okay, let’s move forward. But… “
“But?”
“Unless you’re putting Saint Geo Nostrum on the airship first, there’s going to be some political process involved. Unless you’re putting Saint Geo Nostrum on the airship to kill him, the first person on the airship is someone other than Saint Geo It has to be.”
There are times when the meaning of language completely changes depending on the order.
It is like that now.
Of course, the airship mentioned here does not necessarily mean the golden airship…
“Dad, my eldest brother is strange. He seems to be speaking very strangely.”
“I said it that way, so you understand.”
“…”
Good.
It would be easy for children who are just starting to read and write to understand, but information about the future should be explained in a way that does not spoil as much as possible.
“Father.”
“Yes.”
“Would you like to go to the capital with me?”
“Capital… ?”
“Yes. There will be no St. Geo Nostrum. And instead, we will invite one person.”
I pointed to the ceiling.
“The man who will be recorded in history as the first person to ride an airship.”
“Dad, I still think what you’re saying is strange.”
“Understand. Your brother is a guy who never says anything straight other than saying he loves you. It’s because he’s twisted inside.”
“Uh, oppa, is your stomach upset? It must hurt…”
“…”
