Transmigrated as a Ghost

Marcus and Lilia were currently doing their morning training where Lilia would try to use her tier one force magic spell over her entire body and deflect Marcus' attacks, while also looking for an opening to counterattack.

Of course, Marcus was holding back quite a bit since if he used his full strength even with Lilia's magic spell one attack from him would send her flying.

"Wham"

Lilia after a long struggle managed to catch Marcus off guard and deliver a devastating blow to his side pushing him back a few feet.

Looking down at his ribs where Lilia had hit him Marcus could feel a slight tinge of pain, but the damage was nearly nonexistent. However, Marcus was still impressed that Lilia had made an opening against him since he was trying to fight with the strength of someone around level fifteen.

'She is getting better every day, though it is kind of sad that today will be our last training session for a while.'

Looking towards Lilia with a proud expression Marcus said, "Good job Lilia, you managed to land a solid blow on me, and I can tell how much stronger you have gotten. Unfortunately, we should cut this training session short since if we take too long, we will not be able to make it to the capital today."

Hearing Marcus' words, Lilia's expression became a little dejected since she wanted to keep going, but when she heard Marcus say that they could arrive today she perked up and began running towards the carriage.

With a slight smile on his face Marcus followed behind her while sending a mental signal to Blitz to come and meet them at the carriage.

Soon Blitz came bounding out of the woods near where they had set up camp and Marcus could see some blood on his antlers.

Recently Blitz had been getting the itch to test his metal and if it could find any suitable beasts of monsters he would go and fight them. A couple of times he had even managed to anger a hoard of monsters he could not handle, and would lead them back to Marcus who had to deal with them.

Luckily this was not one of those times and after giving Blitz a quick wash down with water from his item box Marcus attached the harness and got up onto the coachman's stand.

"Yah"

With the crack of the reins Blitz began running down the road at a slightly faster than normal pace as it could feel Marcus' anticipation and a bit of it was rubbing of on him.

Moving at an impressive speed Marcus and Lilia passed by numerous carriages, carts, and even people on foot as they continued down the road.

This was nothing new for them as the closer they got to the capital the more people they came across and this was especially true once they had entered the Dutchy of Scriven.

At one point they even passed another carriage that was pulled by some type of large goat magic beast that tried to race them and for a short while they were able to keep pace until Marcus told Blitz to turn up the gas.

Blitz following Marcus' command began running with abandon reaching speeds close to fifty miles an hour, and Lilia getting a bit scared latched onto Marcus for dear life.

Though they soon had to slow it down since the carriage stated shacking violently and was close to falling apart.

Once they had slowed down Marcus looked down at Lilia and began laughing and Lilia looked at Marcus and feigned pouting before laughing as well.

After their burst of speed they continued at a normal pace and after about six more hours of travel they could see the outline of the royal capital.

'Huge! What the hell I cannot see the end of it.'

Staring out at the royal capital of the Kingdom of Borealia Marcus was in awe by how massive it was.

'I thought Loursend was big with maybe around a million people living in it give or take a few, but this city must be somewhere between New York and Tokyo. I never thought I would see a city this large in this world.'

At the same time as Marcus was staring at the city and appraising its size Lilia was looking at it in disbelief. She had always heard of the large cities in the kingdom from the people in the community she lived in, and when she saw Loursend it was already larger than life, but the royal capital just seemed unfathomable.

Marcus slapped his face a couple of times to get his emotions back in check since he was getting a bit too exited too get to the capital and had been neglecting the reins of the carriage.

Grabbing the reins Marcus steered Blitz over to the right side of the road and shook the reins a little signaling Blitz to pick up the speed a bit.

Blitz getting the signal picked up the pace and quickly was going as fast as the carriage could handle.

Over an hour passed and Marcus, Lilia, and Blitz were finally sure of something, the capital is so damn big it did not look like they had gotten any closer.

Sighing Marcus was starting to think that they were not going to be able to make it to the city today, but after another five hours of straight travel as the sun was begining to fall in the sky, they were finally able to see the large gates of the city and the long line of people trying to enter.

Luckily the long line of people trying to enter meant nothing to Marcus as he pulled the carriage to the other side of the road and passed by the people waiting to enter the city.

Of course, this was one of the perks of being a noble, allowing Marcus to cut to the front of the line and enter without much of a hassle.

Within just fifteen minutes Marcus's carriage was in front of the gate and was only waiting for three other nobles that were in front of him and were quickly being let through.

After just a little more than a minute it was Marcus' turn and the guard in charge of checking identities walked up to Marcus' carriage and right past the coachman stand where Marcus and Lilia were and went towards the carriage door.

However, no one opened the door, and as the guard was about to knock, Marcus coughed loudly to get his attention and held out his sliver plate that IDed him as a titled noble.

The guard stood there stunned for a moment because he was not expecting a noble to be driving a carriage especially one with a title.

Of course, the guard was correct to go towards the carriage's door since normally that was where the noble was, and while he had heard of a few eccentric nobles that liked to drive their own carriages, he had never personally seen one before.

"Sorry milady, I should have been paying more attention."

The guard then gave a slight apologetic bow before holding out his hands so he could take and inspect Marcus' ID.

Looking it over the guard was quite surprised to see Marcus' status since it was quite impressive. The guard had of course seen certain nobles with stronger status', but they had been quite a few levels higher and for a level thirty Marcus was the strongest he had ever seen.

"Is there some type of problem." Marcus asked inquisitively since the guard was taking a bit longer than Marcus thought necessary."

"Ah, no there is no problem Lady Geist. Here is your ID back and you are free to enter the city."

However, before Marcus left, he had a question to ask the guard.

"Excuse me I just have one quick question could you tell me where we could find a place to stay that is nearby."

The guard hearing Marcus question was once again shocked since most nobles would have their own estate within the city or at the very least have arrangements for lodging already taken care of.

Quickly getting himself together the guard thought about the inns that were nearby and listed them off to Marcus.

"But I am afraid that none of these place may be up to your ladyship's standard and if you where looking for a more high-quality inn or hotel, I recommend you head towards the inner wall and ask the guards their to lead you to a more luxurious establishment."

Nodding his head Marcus thanked the guard and told Blitz to head into the city.

'What a strange noble, she did not have a single guard or servant, and the only one with her was her little sister.'

As the guard racked his head about the strangest noble he had ever seen, Marcus and Lilia passed through the city gate and under the over eighty foot tall wall that protected the city, and they immediately saw the bustling streets and large buildings that make up the capital city of the Kingdom of Borealia.
