544 184, Royal Palace Lunch

Surrounded by a few knights, we are guided to a room where the king would be. Side servants are ice pickled, but maybe they're still alive. I lived in hot water over a hundred degrees for about five minutes. It would be okay to ice marinate it.

The location I was shown was a room with a large round table. The eight mails in diameter are cooked on a certain round table, filling it with an appetizing smell. Is the king here yet?

"Has Your Majesty not yet?

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, but wait..."

It would be a good place to be disrespectful if we were to be subordinates. If...

Ice wall lifted. I'll put a captive slave collar on him instead. You won't be able to move, but you'll be able to unleash magic.

Let's continue the torture while we wait. Why are you doing such a nasty thing with all these treats in front of you?

"Your Majesty."

Everyone in that room, such as the knights and maids, kneels. The four of us are immovable. The knights complain to us with their eyes, but it's not what they found out. Because it's not the other way around.

"You kept me waiting. Well done. I heard the situation. Safe and above all. And I'm sorry. This is a mess.

"We were almost all going to die?

The people around you are out of line, and the guy who seems to be nearby is staring. So is what the King is apologizing for, to me complaining about it. That situation is usually dead without retaining the prototype. You can be angry.

"Well wait. The excuse is later. The evidence is on its way here now. Until then, why don't we wait and eat loose?

"You can't. Try this.

Cookies and tea served in the reception room. Alec secured it for me, but it's poisoned. That too...

"Mmm, this dish. You're telling me they gave you this?

"That's right. I'm the only one who ate both, though.

I've never known it since Alec explained it to me. It's not a big poison if it's just one. But if you take both at the same time, it seems to be a horrible poison at a level that reacts and instantly dies in your body. I would have liked you to have told me if you knew all three of them but me. You've eaten so much...

"Well, then can't we even have dinner together? Then listen to me until the evidence arrives. Let me explain.

"It's good to ask, but promise me you'll be honest. I have to hide something.

"Oh, sure. Colour, contract magic?

"You! Rude everywhere! I can't forgive you anymore!

My sides cut off and I pulled out my sword. "Sniping"

Shot through the right shoulder.

"This one's making concessions and listening to you. Don't get me wrong. You don't have to go home without listening to me, do you?

"Ugh! You think you can get out of here safely!?

Easy win.

"Stop it, Clark. There is no justice here. I don't know how we're not involved, but it happened in the castle. It is only natural that we should be responsible for the rest.

"Your Majesty... due to our lack of strength... I am sorry"

"Okay, back off and get treatment.

The farce is over. You said you weren't involved with the contract magic in effect, and the king is not guilty?

"Then let's hear the explanation.

"Um, the sidekick there first, Yohiam de Bentley, is a fake. Not in person. I don't know where they switched it. To listen to your family, you may decide that it was definitely you until you left the house. I'm currently searching for him to crush the leaflet.

"Do you have any idea who this guy is?

"There can't be. I know you looked just like Johiam, but you can't tell if you've scratched your face so far.

That's right. I beat him to death. But because of that, I found out it wasn't a disguise.

"You think a fake stood on a messenger, walked deep into the royal palace and used a suspicious device?

"I'm a business belly, but I will be. That is a room where traitors and others are put together and terminated. It's the first time I've moved it outside of maintenance since the rest of my generation. It shouldn't be easy to move, but I broke the device and was forced to drop it. It's devastating.

"Mostly I get it. It doesn't look like this is any more of our curtain. So this is a drop in the matter, what do you think?

Once again, the air is getting tense. It's hard for the knights to be in an unpleasant situation, too.

"Say what you want. This is a mess. Tell me what it is.

"Then from me. Let me know everything when you get the results. I said before I dropped it, but I'm not going to take it from His Majesty or anything. I'm going to get it from the killers. Where's Alec?"

"Let Curse's Paradise (Eden) be tax free.

Ha, that's an interesting idea. I wouldn't let a tax collector come to that place anyway.

"Both would be fine. Eden and I need to hear more about this anyway. Say the other two, too.

As far as I'm concerned, of course, Steed. I believe you and Sandra need a drop, and the King seems to have thought so. It just seems like the two of us didn't think we'd get around to talking to ourselves, and I'm surprised.

"This Sandra will continue to learn in King's Capital. So keep yourself safe.

Ha, that's Mr. Steed. It's a man.

"Fine. Let's cover it with example permits. Then it's you at the end. Say it."

"Please wave the sword the royal family holds and give it to this steed. Then he will be a knight of unwavering loyalty to His Majesty.

"Well, that sounds like something. Sort of. I'll let you choose later.

Sandra would be great, too. Steed, if you get stronger, we'll be safe.

Shall we tighten it?

"I understand Your Majesty's will. Let's call it hand-to-hand. Then I'll hand this guy over, so I'll take care of it later, okay?

"Fine. You've caused trouble. [M] Forgive me. By the way, are you sure you don't want to eat? The court cooks still waved their arms, didn't they?

You've decided to eat. I'm so hungry. Then we should also collect the collar. In the end, I guess interrogation magic such as the Knights works better than I torture them. Is it a pattern that you switched with face-changing magic or something?

"I'll take it. With something hungry. Everyone eats too, right?

"Yeah, shall I have it?

"I'm hungry when I'm relieved, too.

"Right. This is not an opportunity anymore.

From then on, it became a lunch in a soothing atmosphere. I got a description of the dish, but I don't remember it at all. That was a long name. I just feel like it's the best I've ever had.

The conversation proceeded peacefully, explaining the paradise and obtaining the permission of the Urban Connection Magic Team and the permission to lend gold.

And the topic rolled over to the law on swimming. Finally.
