47 Vesteria Kingdom and SS [10]





 After winning the bet with His Majesty Gris, we returned to Vestellia Castle and had a meeting with His Majesty.

 Currently, His Majesty Grease sits on his throne in the throne room with a somber expression on his face.
 Claude, who has been treated in the castle's infirmary and has bandages wrapped around his body.
 Then there were only the four of us, me and Leah.

 Then Leah, who had been looking at my body with concern, opened her mouth.

I'm not sure what to say. Are you sure your body ...... is okay?

Yeah. I don't have any pain anywhere, so I think I'll be fine.

 As soon as we arrived at Vestellia Castle, Claude and I were taken to the infirmary.

 She had bruises and lacerations all over her body from the last self-destruction, and was told to rest for a week.

 I, on the other hand, couldn't find a single scratch anywhere on my body and was sent home without any treatment.

(I thought I had a few scars at the beginning. ......)

 But in reality, there are no scars on my body.

(Hmmm .......) (Hmmm ......) It's strange how things work.

 While I was thinking about it.

"......

"......

 His Majesty and Mr. Claude did not utter a single word.
 The throne room was silent and the air was heavy.

 There was no point in remaining silent, so I decided to speak up.

"Your Majesty, Grice. As I said yesterday, there's been a big misunderstanding...

"Good, don't tell everyone.

 He then interrupted me.
 As usual, he didn't listen to me at all.

"Hey, Dad! Listen to what Allen has to say! I mean, before that, what's with that 'joke of a sword'? Can you please explain it to me?

 I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

I'm sure you're aware of that. That .......

"What?

 I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

"....... Sometimes it's Allen-Rhoddle.

 I'm sure you've heard of it.

"What is it, sir?

 You can't ignore the King's call.

 I replied anyway.

"Hey dad, can you stop using Allen only when it suits you?

 Leah, with a blue streak on her forehead, questioned the king in an indifferent tone.

"Well, well, well, Leah. I don't care anymore, so calm down ......?

If Allen says so, I'll shut up. ....... Allen's always been too nice to me. ......

 She grumbled, but calmed down for the moment.

 Then.

I'll ...... admit it.

 His Majesty closed his eyes and muttered quietly.

"You and Leah ....... I'll admit to being your ...... lover. ......

"......What?

 Leah and I looked at each other at the same time.
 If I'm not mistaken, you just said "lover" instead of "squire".

I'm sure you've heard this one before. I'm going to allow you two to be lovers,......!

 He stood up in a rage and glared at me.

Oh, thank you, .......

"Oh, thank you, Dad.

 It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your time and money.

 It's a good idea to take a look at the web site and see what you can find.

(Ms. Claude ......)

 It seems that when she first reported to His Majesty, she did not use the word "slave", but told him that she was his lover.

(But when you think about it, ....... (But when you think about it, was he that angry just because his daughter had a lover? ......)

 Isn't that a little too overprotective ......?

 For a moment, that thought popped into my mind, but I quickly dismissed it as a rash idea.

(I'm still a student, how could I possibly know how a father with a daughter feels? ......)

 It's too early to assume that His Majesty is 'overprotective'.

 When I was thinking about it...

But you know what? I don't approve of everything! But I didn't approve of all of it! I only approved of clean and beautiful relationships! I never, never approved of ...... physical relations!

 Your Majesty said such an outrageous thing.

Of course I do!

I'm not sure what to say. What are you talking about out loud?



 Me and Leah screamed, our faces turning red.

...... will do. But remember this, Allen Rhodle? I do not approve of you, and I do not approve of Leah having a lover!

 His Majesty continued.

"Of course, I will have you back at the Academy of a Thousand Blades tomorrow! --Claude!

"Ha! I've already prepared a private plane for your departure at any time!

"Well done!

 Satisfied with Claude's reply, His Majesty nodded deeply.
 Apparently, I'll be sent back to the Thousand Blade Academy tomorrow morning.

(...... I'm on summer vacation, right?)

 I feel like I've been flying around the world for the past few days.

(If I'm not careful, ....... No, ......, I can assure you that this is not the case.

 (If I'm not careful, I'll be flying around the world to )

(Oh, .......) I can't wait for the summer vacation to end. ......)

 I left the throne room with Leah, thinking the exact opposite of what a normal student would think.

.

 After Allen and Leah left, the throne room became quiet and Grease sighed heavily.

"d*mn it, I should have been more direct with my 'preparation' ....... Remember, Allen-Rhoddle, ......! Next time, he'll plant explosives instead of explosives. ......!

 He slammed his clenched fist down on the throne, his anger at Allen boiling over.

 I'm not sure if you've heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

"...... I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'm not sure what to do. I'm willing to take any punishment ...... that comes my way.

 I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it.

I've been thinking about it for a while. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

 He asked about Claude's sudden self-destruction of the inorganic army (Avio Troop) when he was in a situation of absolute superiority.

 Claude then said, "This may sound like an excuse, but ......," before going on to clarify.

The decision was undoubtedly a wise one.

Hmm. ...... Continue.

"If I had made a mistake there and cut down Allen-Roddle, ....... If I had made a mistake there and slashed at Allen-Rhoddle, I probably would have been killed (・・・・・・) for sure.

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not sure what you mean.

"Ha! When my sword was about to cut him down, his spiritual core, which I hadn't felt even slightly during the fight, came to the surface for a moment. The man with white hair and a vicious face - just remembering it now makes me shudder. That thing---Allen-Rhoddle's spirit core is a true monster .......

 Her true voice echoed loudly in the throne room.

"Nuh-uh. ....... I'm not sure if that's the best way to describe it. ....... It's my opinion. I'm sure you'll be able to tell me about it.

 I'm sure you've heard of it.

You can find a lot more information on this topic in the following article.

I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

"It's the same rank as ......, the Awakened Primordial Dragon King.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

"You idiot! I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm sure you're mistaken, Claude.

"Your Majesty, ...... I'm sorry to say, but I'm at least (・・・・) the class of the Primordial Dragon King. If you're not careful, you might even surpass it.

"......? ...... You're not kidding or lying, are you?

Yes, .......

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

You can't be serious. ......

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

He sat deep in his throne, mumbling something. "...... Speaking of which. I'm sure it was Leia who leaked the information about her and Leah's relationship, wasn't it?

Yes, that is correct, sir.

 He put his hand on his chin and let his thoughts wander.

I see. ....... I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. ...... Did that little girl conspire(・・・・)?

"......?

 I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I'm talking about.

I'm not sure what to make of that. It's a disgusting move (・・・・). ....... He looks like a teetotaler, but he's really not a foodie. ......

 This is a great way to get the most out of your time and money.



(d*mn, how far are you (・・・・)grabbing (・・・・・)......! If we play our cards right, can we draw Allen-Rhoddle to us? Or is he already a puppet for Leia's side? Whatever the case, we need to hurry up with our plans. ......

In any case, as long as the other side has a hand that is as good as the original Dragon King's, we need to strengthen our national defense as well!

It is as you say, sir.

What about the mission you gave the Royal Guardians?

Huh! According to the report I just received, the manufacturing plant for the Reishougan that was discovered in the Kingdom of Vesteria has been destroyed!

What about the ringleader, the Kuro Organization?

It's a shame, but it looks like the place was already a wasteland. ....... It is said that the whereabouts of the large amount of Reishoumaru that should have been manufactured and the Kuro Organization, the ringleaders, are completely unknown.

Nuh ....... I'm not sure what to do.

 I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

I'm not sure what to say. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work.

I'm not sure what to do.

 After receiving Grice's order, Claude immediately went into action.

He was the only one left in the large throne room, rubbing his magnificent beard and pondering.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Allen-Rhoddle, if you will: ....... No, I think you're overthinking this. ......

"I'm sorry.

 After finishing the meeting with His Majesty Gris, I left the throne room and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Phew, thank God ....... I have Claude to thank for that.

 If she had reported her master-servant relationship with Leah as it was, ...... it probably would have led to a more troublesome situation.

 But.

"Well, it seems that you've been telling your father things that are not true ........ I can't thank you enough for that. ......

 Leah didn't seem too convinced, folding her arms and letting out a little complaint.

I'm not sure what to say.

I'm sure you'll agree with me. ...... That's one of the good things about him.

 While we were talking, we left the castle once.

 And then.

"Hey, hey, ...... Allen. Your father thinks we're ...... lovers, doesn't he?

 Leah looked at me like she was afraid to ask me to confirm it.

I'm sure you're right.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. Wouldn't that make you look a little suspicious?

"...... I see, that's true.

 The moment I nodded my head.

"So, right?

 I don't know why she said that, but she did.

"Oh, yeah. ....... But what is a loverly thing to do ......?

 It's not something I can say openly, but I've never been in a relationship with a woman before.
 I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I've got a great idea. Can you ...... help me out?

Yeah, I'd love to hear it.

 Then she took a deep breath, for some reason, and caught her breath.

 And then.

"So, do you want to go on a date with me at ......?

 Leah said with a blush and a giggle.
