713 67, Midday affair

"You're unbelievable. There's no way that elf would act for such a small reason. There's got to be a big back to this.

What the hell is this? Do I know that?

"Then why don't you check out the other two elves? Three or four days of sleepless rest and I haven't even fed him, but I think he's still alive.

I totally forgot. You make it a slave, so you don't have to die.

"What are you hiding? You gonna put your hands together with the elves and even aim at the throne?

Call your helpers. You don't have that... you don't need a throne. Oh, does Chiara want it?

"No, so why don't you look into it? Tomorrow morning first, anything now.

"That's it. Modest, Prime Minister. Not if you're saying that now. I'm sorry, Curse. I'm worried about him. No offense. Then get some rest in preparation for tomorrow. Say hello to the other two, will you?

Prime Minister... the boss of the Ajani family? Deputy Tannatsu's grandfather. Hey. Well... I guess I need a role to doubt that. It's troublesome if you suspect.

"Yes. Excuse me.

"I will do my best.

"Ha ha!

Mr. Asteroid is probably getting smaller. On the contrary, brother Odie is calm.

The maid guided me to a pretty big room. It's a luxury to have all three of us here.

"Brother Odie, it's been a while since you've been clean.

"Oh, I hope so. Then Mr. Asteroid, too, ho!

Um, my brother Odie's laundry magic still works. My laundry magic is just washing, but Brother Odie's is even relaxing on top of that. Dust.

"Good arm, as always. That's all you can eat. Better than that, you guys used to be fine in front of His Majesty the King.

"I've seen you many times already.

You've even been targeted for your life in the royal palace.

"I'm Curse's jerk. You don't have to worry about anything.

"You know what... well I could have had a good souvenir story too. If you think you've come to the king's capital in no time, now you've come to the royal palace, also before His Majesty the King. A progeny of the brave...... that's so strong.

Do you see the strength of the king when you are as good as Mr. Asteroid? Wow.

"Mr. Gorelius is retiring, and from now on, Mr. Asteroid needs to tow the Kutanutu adventurer! There's no such thing as a discerning adventurer, is there?

"Oh... so is that. I have to go home alive.

Thus we went to the floor, telling a story of no other love. Range alert and automatic defense are strained, but no silencing is applied. I hate it when they call me in the middle of the night, but I have to wake up. I wish I could fix it all at once...

Still, you have a big bed without Alec...

The next morning. I slept well. I'd love to sleep more, but the maid came to get me, so I can't help it. Breakfast?

Surprised to see the breakfast menu. What is this? I'm poorer than the Martin family breakfast.

"I'm so sorry. In fact, there is little food left, even His Majesty eats one meal a day."

Oh, no. Is there a reason you called us there, too? So what about the food on the church side? They're dozens of times bigger. Well, okay.

"I have a lot if it's an oak, shall I offer it?

"Holy shit! I'd love to! Come here!

The maid dragged me with great momentum. It hits my chest, but it's not as voluminous or tense as Alec.

The warehouse is where they took him. A somewhat cryogenic vault?

"There's a hundred of them, do you want them all out?

"Sa, that's just great...... can I have ten for today? Of course I will try to pass it on to His Majesty.

"Fine. I will also leave the report to His Majesty. If you are a subordinate, you deserve it.

I can't help but earn points for the maid. It would be better to be humble than arrogant.

Well, one late for breakfast.

"Whoa, what do you guys do? Why would I want to walk around the royal palace?

"That's good. I'm coming, too.

Is Mr. Asteroid and Brother Odie taking a walk? I am, um.

"I'll sleep twice. Because they say the maid will wake you up if anything happens.

"I'm not young. I don't even know if you can't sleep at night.

Mr. Asteroid is strangely high. No, that's natural, too. It's a royal palace, isn't it? There should never be another chance to walk around here freely.

"Please don't get lost. You'll get lost easily.

"I have a maid, so I'm fine. I'll see you later.

"I'm coming.

Go back to sleep. Go back to sleep. Grr.

Responding to range alert. Who came into our room? It's a maid.

"Did they show up?

"Yes, no, it's not..."

Then don't wake me up.

"Then what?

"Well, next door... go to sleep..."

"That was a shame. It would have been nice at night. Because I'm already awake. Let's do it again.

"So, but I'm already..."

Oh. I'm starting to take my clothes off. Isn't this a lot of patterns? No, the second time, right?

"You're on time. I'm sorry to embarrass you, though. Or you're obviously ordered, aren't you? I won't pursue it now, so you can leave.

Think normally, mid twenties, does that also make a level maid who can work in the royal palace fall in love with a kid as young as ten? I see you've been ordered to come in.

"Chi, no! I'm just that Master Curse is cool, so..."

Yes, lying! Even I know about my face. A face without features that seems to be everywhere. It's often called mediocre, but you're right. I can't even compare myself to handsome men like my brother and father.

"Really? Thank you for that. Then promise me one thing. To be honest. I like honest women.

"Ha, ha... No way now..."

"That's right. It's familiar contract magic every time. Then answer me honestly.

"I remember an errand! Excuse me!

The maid left the room as a result of the shedding. I'll do it. If you don't even ask me a question, you don't have an answer. I mean, he must have been ordered to do it. If that's not what you're doing right now... what's he thinking here... is he the Chancellor?

And at lunch, I sat with the king and queen and explained the flow to this day. The King seems to regret the initial delay, but at this rate there was probably no change. There are some serious prepped verses just to play with.

Besides, who would imagine the Knights of the Kingdom would betray you? Roughly 40% of them have betrayed each other, to be precise. Thirty percent were scattered throughout and outside the King's capital, and ten percent were almost killed in the first act of betrayal. The poison of the example wielded fierceness. It seems that the remaining 20% are captives, or are not in the royal castle because they were not on duty again. Brother Urien, that's the pattern.

By the way, I was very thankful from the queen and she held me tight. An aunt to love.

From noon I enjoyed a nap in the sun. I've been busy lately. Sometimes it's good. Well, actually, I'm relaxing and still working on it. By the way, did you cook a little?

Thus I relaxed and watched the maids and the knights coming and going, but unexpectedly the morale seemed high. There must be a war when there is less food and less morale.

Thus the first day of the royal palace ended without a thing.

I thought...
