Episode 99
I thought I could rest after meeting with the king.
I thought no one would touch me, at least for the day I met the king.
Were those expectations too high?
“Are you Raymond?”
“Let me give you a privilege. Be mine.”
“I liked you. “Would you like to join me?”
The royal family began to come, as if they had been waiting for them to enter the mansion.
It was difficult to refuse them one by one.
If someone refused, they would ask for the reason, and there were some who would use harsh words just because they refused.
It was very difficult and annoying to deal with.
Above all, the biggest reason they came to me was because of the by-products of the raid.
“Can’t I get another one of what you got yesterday?”
“I won’t talk too much. “Get mine too!”
“Wouldn’t that suit me better?”
Excluding the crown prince, first princess, and three princes, five royal families came and made a big fuss.
The family’s technicians worked hard for two days to give the crown prince a gift.
But it doesn’t come out right away just because I say it, and there’s no reason I have to give it to them.
‘How expensive is Reid’s leather?’
It is so valuable that even one of Reid’s claws or an eye is worth the price.
Would you say I’m crazy for something like that?
At times like this, it would be nice if the crown prince showed up and helped.
It makes such a fuss when it is not needed, but is not even visible when it is needed.
Dawn came without being able to sleep properly due to dealing with them.
I felt irritated and tried to suppress the desire to hit them.
“Enough, please go back.”
I felt like I would go crazy if I dealt with them any longer, so I pushed them out the door.
“Ahh! “What are you doing now?”
“Do you know whose body you are touching now? “Do you really want to die?”
“Inoooom!”
Just hearing the voice gave me a headache.
It would be great if I did it in moderation and went back. I really have to use this much effort to go back.
‘I was crazy.’
I admitted it.
The gift given to the crown prince was too excessive.
I should have adjusted it appropriately and given it to him, but somehow I was so possessed that I wanted to beat the past me who gave him Reid’s leather armor as a gift.
The saying ‘too much is too little is too little’ didn’t exist for nothing.
There is a thing called moderation in everything, but I didn’t know how to do it in moderation.
“You bastard Raymond! “Can’t you open this door right now?”
“Let me in! “I will give you what you want!”
“Raymond! I give you power! “Follow me!”
You say something that isn’t even funny.
It was I who had overcome the king’s temptation.
It is more profitable for me to hold the king’s hand than to hold their hands.
“No matter what you say, my feelings will not change. “Please go back.”
I acted decisively.
There should not be any leeway.
You have to be very careful because it is the royal family’s habit to try to dig in if they see an opening.
Anything more related to them is a specification.
“Mahol, from now on, don’t open the door even if those guys come looking for you.”
“All right.”
From now on, I decided not to open the door regardless of whether I knocked on it or not.
“Oh, and the maids will be visiting around lunch time? They can open the door. “I called it.”
“yes.”
“There’s no need to keep dealing with those guys. Go to bed at a reasonable time. “If it’s not now, there’s no time to sleep.”
After speaking briefly to Mahol, I went straight into the bedroom and lay down on the bed.
Maybe it was because it was the end of a hard day, but I had a long nap.
A small party took place at the crown prince’s private villa under the pretext of a gathering hosted by the crown prince.
It was different from my birthday.
I joined the gathering of the crown prince’s close associates, selected by the crown prince among those who received invitations.
‘Why did you invite me to a place like this?’
I am not one of his close associates.
If you’re not a subordinate in the first place, what’s wrong with being an aide?
“I’ll introduce it properly this time. My friend This is my close friend Raymond Millennium. “You probably saw it yesterday, so you know who it is, right?”
“….”
Even though I was standing there with the crown prince’s introduction, this silence was very awkward.
The way the crown prince’s associates looked at me was not kind at all.
The look in his eyes as if a fly had come in from somewhere.
Everyone didn’t like me.
It was inevitable that the guy who suddenly appeared said to be the crown prince’s friend and took his place next to him.
Since everyone wants the crown prince’s attention, my late appearance will be very annoying to them.
“Nice to meet you. I am Le…”
“It is an honor to see my master’s friend…”
Perhaps because the Crown Prince was next to them, they greeted me with a stiff smile.
“Ah, nice to meet you.”
“nice to meet you.”
I had a formal conversation with them and waited for this time to pass quickly.
“Goodbye everyone.”
“see you next time.”
“Your Majesty the Crown Prince. Thank you for allowing us to have a great time.”
The faces of the aides who left after the meeting were very bright.
I was happy just to have a conversation with the crown prince.
“You did a good job participating in today’s meeting.”
“no. Thanks to you, I had a pleasant experience.”
Yes, I had a very enjoyable experience.
The fact that the nobles were trying to get one more word out of the crown prince was also a real sight.
“Then let’s go in.”
“okay. Thank you for coming. “I look forward to seeing you again next time.”
I turned around and headed towards the mansion.
I had no idea that the meeting would last this long.
All day long, I was being kicked around by the crown prince and nobles.
I don’t like it even if they give me money to stay here more.
“Ha…fuck.”
But why doesn’t the world just leave me alone?
At this level, it seems like God is trying his best to torment me in some way.
[The ‘Unknown God’ shakes his head in surprise and denies it.]
That’s not true.
Ignoring the message that kept coming to mind, I looked at the woman in front of me.
“I’m sorry for coming to you so suddenly. But I had no choice because I was in a hurry.”
1Princess.
I thought she would be quiet for a while because she had already gotten the answer from me, but she was waiting for me with a dark look on her face.
“What is it?”
Because I was suffering so much, I was quite sensitive.
Of course, there was no way a good voice could come out of my mouth.
It’s good if you don’t swear.
“Can you take me to the count’s house?”
“yes?”
What kind of nonsense is this again?
Who are you taking where?
“I know it sounds absurd. But I want you to take me with you. “Please.”
“…Will Your Majesty allow that?”
This should not be my personal answer.
You have to involve someone else.
So that she can’t answer hastily and decide.
“Abama will be happy. “He really liked you this time.”
“Ah…”
“And it might actually be safer with you than here. “I guess there are a lot of people targeting me here.”
So what you’re saying is, are you asking me to protect you?
What should I do with this?
It’s true that you need her, but it’s hard to accept her right away.
As much as her talent attracted talented people, there were many incidents and accidents that led to her.
A level of preparation to embrace them was necessary.
It was a bit burdensome to accept her right away.
“sorry. “I guess that’s something I can’t decide.”
“yes?”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
He looked up at me anxiously with eyes that looked like he was about to cry.
“It is not something I can do of my own will. “You need the Count’s permission.”
“Oh then…”
“Yes. You must obtain permission from the Count. “If the Count allows, I will take you with me.”
Her face brightened.
I looked at her pitifully.
There was no way Count Millennium would allow this.
Because he doesn’t do anything that will harm the family.
That’s what I thought.
But why did it happen like this?
“Please take care of me!”
front of the city. The first princess, wearing a robe, welcomed me with a bright smile.
The drivers also looked at me in confusion, wondering what had happened.
“The Count gave permission?”
“yes. I was surprised too. “I never thought you would give me permission so willingly.”
“What on earth did you say…!”
“I didn’t say anything. “I’m with Raymond right now, and I just asked if I could take care of the Count’s family.”
It was a statement that was likely to be misunderstood.
It was strange to come to celebrate the crown prince’s birthday and be with the first princess.
‘Aren’t you mistaken?’
I was a little worried that Count Millennium would misunderstand me and the first princess.
Considering his personality, he’s not someone who can be easily mistaken, but he doesn’t know anything about people.
“Are you really coming with me?”
“yes. “I even packed my luggage like this.”
It was too poor to be called a burden.
There were only two subspace pockets.
Also, one of the subspace pockets was a money pouch, so the actual luggage was just one pocket.
A very plain appearance to be considered royalty.
Moreover, there was no knight sent to escort her.
‘It’s like being treated like an abandoned child.’
Since they weren’t treated properly, they probably didn’t feel the need to stay in the kingdom.
“Then let’s leave.”
1 I let her into the carriage, leaving behind the knights who were glancing at the princess.
As long as I had the Count’s permission, there was no reason for me to tell her not to follow me.
“thank you.”
She just kept smiling in the carriage, which was so nice.
“Can we stop by the Academy for a moment before stopping by the Magic Tower?”
“You mean the academy?”
“uh.”
“I don’t think it will be difficult. It’s not that far from here. But why the academy?”
“I have something to see there. “There is someone I need to meet.”
“All right.”
The drivers stopped complaining to me.
He simply followed my words with a casual expression.
Since it wasn’t that far from the royal castle to the city of the Academy, we were able to get to the Academy quickly.
After entering the city, I told my companions to wait for a while and entered the wild dog’s hideout.
“There’s no time, so take me to your captain right away.”
“What is this…!”
“Tell Raymond he’s here.”
“…!”
The bartender’s eyes changed as I heard my next words.
He hurriedly called inside and politely ushered me in.
“What’s going on? “He came without any warning.”
William looked at me with somewhat surprised eyes.
I said, sitting down on the chair in front of him.
“Shouldn’t we move our base soon? How long will you stay here? “It’s too far to get here.”
“You mean…?”
“Come as a writer. “I will prepare a place for you.”
“Is that true?”
“I won’t say anything twice. “If you think it’s okay to properly organize and move, please contact me.”
“It’s too sudden.”
“So you don’t like it?”
“That can’t be right.”
William smiles brightly.
I laughed like him.
From the point when the first princess came to the earldom, William became essential.
Someone who will manage the talented people who come to Princess 1 from near me, not from far away.
As a manager, William is perfect.
I had no intention of doing things this quickly, but this incident changed my mind.
“Then I’m going.”
“Yes. Oh, and this…”
William, who was lowering his head, must have remembered something and hurriedly handed me a document.
At the top, it was written in red that he was a person of interest.
Below that, there was a name I was familiar with.
-Ahar reporting journal.
