-----------------------------------

Very early in the morning, the prince and princess arrive at the building that we had taken possession the day before while they were accompanied by what looked like some guards. I thought that maybe they could take longer to talk to the King about our request, then they would hand me some paper like the one from the previous time and the King would grant me permission for these things. But unexpectedly, it was necessary for me to go personally to the castle this time...

For a moment I was concerned as I thought that maybe the King found out that I was spanking his daughter's butt, maybe some kind of shadow guard had been watching us all the way! But seeing them act normal, and that the guards did not jump on me, it seems that was not the case.

Well, since both royals still kept trying to pretend to be adventurers, Lorens-kun when he saw us quickly said that Nurt's guild had a good relationship with the King as a pretext for this. So if the thing of earlier would happen, then I will make the excuse that I believed that Cleirsa-san was a normal adventurer.

So once we finished getting ready, Saya, Reví, Leona, Vrana, and I boarded the beautifully adorned vehicle to go to the castle. Then, soon we enter the noble zone and so I realize something...

"So this place is also a level 10 zone..."

"Yes, the noble area of the capital and the castle is a level 10 zone. The rest of the city is level 9"

Since the previous time I visited the capital I did not have any business in the noble area, I did not realize this. But if you thought about it a bit, it was logical that the castle of the ruler of this kingdom was located in one of the best areas of this territory.

If we compare this place with our base, it seems that the area that this zone cover is much larger. Also, as said Turla that answers my comment, the whole city is level 9 zone.

Soon we passed through the main gate of the castle that was guarded by many men from the 8th limit and some from the 9th... it would certainly be problematic to get out of here if things with the King went wrong.

By the way, ever since the prince and the others appeared in front of us, Turla had been totally vigilant of me... even now every time I make a move, she takes a position guarding the princess... I think she is worried about being scolded if she allowed me to harass the princess like the before time.

…I wanted to tell her that I wasn't stupid enough to do something like that in the castle or in front of others here and so she didn't need to be so defensive, but if I did this, then that would imply that I have done it before. I really wish she would stop doing that or the other guards might think I'm dangerous...

After the vehicle is parked, other servants immediately guide us inside the castle until soon we are in a great hall with several people already there… needless to say, here was the King.

Probably the easiest way to describe him is that he was like a mature Lorens-kun... he was sitting on a great throne surrounded by some men, so when we entered they all set their eyes on us. Then, after both sides look at each other for a few seconds, the King is the first to speak.

"So you're Alexander... I've heard a few things about you, but it seems like you are definitely a promising boy."

"…Thank you, your majesty. Your words honor me... "

Seeing the King of this kingdom had surprised me a bit, so it took me a few seconds to reply to his words. While he has the position as a regent from this kingdom, I was already mentally prepared to meet him, so what caused me to get immobile for a few seconds was due to something else...

This guy had a Soul level 2, hell!!

[King of Delna] [Solemnity of the King-C] [Level 137]

Shit! This if I was a little surprised... or perhaps should have expected this since the princess was a 9th limit? Well, anyway, he was the first person I saw that had a level 2 soul… apparently he had a [Restraining Ring-F] to be able to move freely in this level 1 Area too.

" Umu, you don't need to be so formal with me… you can call me Fertt"

"Thank you, Fertt-san."

Well, thinking that I was friends with both of his sons, after I recovered from the shock, I was no longer so concerned about the fact that he had a level 2 Soul. In fact, you could say that it was an advantage for me.

In addition, In addition, that he allowed me to speak in a normal way was a relief, I was not very good with the formalities. But... perhaps I should add the suffix "Sama"? Or maybe his comment was for him to appear magnanimous and I should answer with something like "I can do that, Your Majesty!"? Some of the other men in this place directed me a look strong when I call the king by his name...

It seems that the King didn't really care about this, and so he continues speaking.

"I heard that you took care of the criminal for whom we put a bounty and that also you managed to tame the monsters who had avoided us to take full advantage of the Eltin forest grounds. You have certainly helped this Kingdom a lot and that should be rewarded.

You will receive the reward that we had offered to the guild world for taken care of that criminal. And for your achievement about the Eltin forest, you will be awarded the title of Baron and that territory, so that you can manage it however you want"

It seems that I have achieved my purposes for which I came here, it's just that... the truth is that I was not very interested in something like a title of nobility... in fact, I think this is more annoying than beneficial.

While this has some advantages such as having some influence and protection of the Kingdom, a title of the nobility also means that practically I am subordinate to this King and he can order me anything... so that if there is something like wars or some troublemakers who oppose the kingdom, then I would have to fight too.

Well... if something bad happened to the kingdom, then the Cleirsa-san and Turla would also be affected, so in the end I would most likely also intervene. I couldn't let something happen to those two girls after all, so this isn't such a bad thing either.

"Don't worry, it is an honorary title, so you have no responsibility to the Kingdom."

Perhaps seeing that I had frowned a bit when hearing about the title, the King continues and tells me that. Great! Although I would surely get involved if something bad happened in the kingdom for the two girls from before, at least I won't have to worry about being ordered things I don't want to do.

When the King finishes speaking, one of the men comes up to us and hands me a sheet to deliver to the world guild and get my reward. Regarding the title of nobility, it seems that this will only be reported to the other nobles so that they know this information.

It's good that we don't have to do a ceremony or something like that, I really didn't want to do something like that.

"Besides... I also wanted to thank you for the weapon you gave my son, if it weren't for this one, then his life would have been in danger, thank you"

…So this is the end of having to pretend that I don't know who Lorens-kun is? Well, that makes me a little glad since I had gotten a little tired of having to do that. Also, I don't think that now that I have "discovered" that Cleirsa-san is a princess she will say something like "know your place, commoner " when I hug her.

"Is that so... then also give me a reward for that!"

"" ... ""

"A-Alexander-san ..."

"A-Alex-chan... e-even I think that's a bit off-putting, you know?"

As a modern person, I prefer something material than something like a simple thank you or just satisfying my feeling of altruism for doing good deeds. Besides, he was a King! So he would surely have good things!!

Unfortunately, it seems that not everyone was thinking the same as me... Saya and even Revy get nervous when listening to me while the others had remained silent. Well, if I don't get anything, then I won't complain so much either since I've achieved my goals by coming here, I just wanted to try my luck.

"Y-You, insolent Kid-"

"Hahaha, well, you're right. You have saved my son's life which is without a doubt is much more important than the things of before, so it would be strange not to reward this. Tell me, what do you want? "

So when I pretended to lower my hand that I had extended to demand my reward due to one of the men who was next to the King seemed to get even more upset than having called the King by his name earlier.Unexpectedly the King starts laughing... then after said this, he happily takes a drink on a tray that brought a servant.

Fine! Looks like I'll be able to get a few more things!!

"Well... how about a thousand of energy channel restoration pills?"

"Phuuuff!!"

"" ... ""

Hearing my request, the King spits out all the liquid from his mouth... he is a King, you know? I think he should take care of his image more. On the other hand, I thought that I would receive more complaints from the other men of the King, but it seems that they could not say anything and only stay with their mouths wide open.

" T-Thousand of energy channel restoration pills?! Damn boy, do you think these are the same as the fruits that grow on trees?!! "

The King-worthy attitude that he had put on so far is fading, but the good thing is that this one didn't seem angry and was just stating the obvious. Of course, I was also aware that it was an exaggerated request, after all, if a pill was worth around 5 million G, then it would be 5 billion for the amount I ask.

I don't know how much they can collect in taxes in this Kingdom, but that amount is probably the value of several years of this... but hey, they say that if you want to ask for something of value, then you have to ask for something that is even more valuable first. This way, the second thing that you asking for will seem like something more acceptable.

"Well... how about 500?"

"B-Boy, I don't think you get it... if 100 of those pills are auctioned in the kingdom in the year, then you can say that was a pretty lucky year!"

"...You really can't get 500?"

"Of course not! If I had that amount I could expand to other Realms! No, maybe I could even control this entire Area!! "

Putting on a face like I really can't believe what he's saying, I make a minor request. It is a pity that it seems that amount was not possible either... also because of this my face changes to doubt to one as if trying to see if this king was really so poor.

Curse! He was a King, so he should have some stored in his treasury, right? Then probably as if guessing my thoughts, he raised his voice after asking for 500 pills.

"Tch... then I'll take the princess and 100 pills, that's the last thing I'll accept"

"F.u.c.k you damn brat! I'd rather give you a thousand pills than my daughter!! Besides... she doesn't seem like enough and you still ask for 100 pills?!! "

"You are wrong, the princess seems enough to me. But since it is as if I take her as my wife, then you have to give me a dowry! "

"Brat, you... Hmn?"

It seems that the King was really starting to get annoyed… suddenly something similar to my domain expands with him as the center and this causes my [Emperor's Domain] ability to also activate to try to counteract it.

This makes the King and I scowl at sudden events that surprise us both. Surely because his ability was in a higher rank than mine, my domain is slowly starting to recede...

[Crack!]

[Beep]

[Skill [Emperor's Domain] rank up]

So when I thought that my ability would be suppressed by his, I hear a click, and my domain begins to spread again and regaining ground after I hear the System notification... it seems that even though his ability has a higher rank still, my ability is higher than his and despite mine having a lower rank, both skills are tied now.

"Boy… the normal thing is that the man presents the dowry with the woman's family, not the other way around. "

"Eh? Do I have to present the dowry? "

Those customs had been almost forgotten in my previous world and I hadn't married there either, but I had a little knowledge of it and I knew that what he was saying was true. After all, in ancient times it could be said that in arranged marriages men offered things so they could take the daughter of a family... they were practically selling them.

So maybe so that it was not so bad to say that they were selling their daughters, that was changed to "dowry." Well, maybe I can't complain about that since due to this Area having an old customs as those in the ancient age of my world, that's probably one of the reasons why Turla affection got so high.

...it seems that her mentality was programmed with the idea that "man with whom you do intimate things = Husband".

Well, even knowing that what he was saying was correct, I pretend ignorance and try to show a very surprised face by his words... then as if I had eaten something very bitter and looking a bit as someone defeated, I continued speaking.

"…Well! I will give you the 100 pills of restore energy channels, but since there are many you have to wait two years for me"

[Beep]

[Skill [Acting-J] learned]

The King who had recovered from the confusion by our abilities clash and who calmed down from his anger due to this as well, seeing my expression, he shows a smile as if he enjoyed this by won the argument.

"Fufufu... you seem to be showing more sense now, boy."

"... So we have a promise?"

"Fufufu… fine, we have a promise. In two years if you give me 100 energy channel restoration pills, then you can take my daughter... "

Showing satisfaction when everyone in the room had fallen silent and they seemed that their jaws were about to dislocate, the king begins to nod in repeated occasions and say those words.

Then, as if finally realized what he was saying, he also keeps his mouth open for a few seconds, and then even more angry than before rising from his throne screaming.

"Damn brat! If I previously told you that I wouldn't trade my daughter for a thousand pills, then how the hell would I do it for 100?!! "

"E-Eh? I-It can not be... Now you retract what you said? The world is lost... how the hell can I trust other people if not even a King can keep his promise?! "

Not caring about the King's fury, I slowly recoil as if I had seen the most incredible thing in the world. Then, dejectedly, my knees and hands touch the ground as I make a lament.

"Y-Youuu..."

"..."

"How can you make my Master sad! I'll kill you!!"

"It is true! The Master's girls told me that you should keep your promises as it is something important, roock~!! "

"Scythe-san, Vrana-chan, don't do anything !"

"Damn girl, stop!"

Well… I think I should stop this joke since I didn't expect Scythe, Leona, and Vrana to try to attack the King… Saya and Revy since they knew that if they tried to do something that would be very bad, then they quickly tried to stop them.

It was good that all the other people were still motionless and surprised by all the events from before, so they did not notice those Three girls.

...my goal to get punish a little tp this king for trying to suppress me before, already I achieved it, so it was time to stop this joke. With that thought in mind, I was going to get up and say that I was just joking, but then before I can do it, someone else intervenes...
