After moving away.

Youre on a tight delivery schedule, arent you?

Yes, indeed.

At Ottos question, Ego gave him a deadpan look.

Credit is a lifeline at the Ego Merchant.

If they failed to deliver the cargo on time, their credibility would be severely damaged, and they would have to pay a huge amount of compensation.

Well pass through here, then.

Otto pulled out a map and pointed to the area where the ogres had been breeding.

Eh?

Egos eyes went wide.

Isnt that the place the ogres are breeding? And now.

Its ogre breeding season?

Yes, and passing through there right now would be.

Suicidal?

Yes, it is.

Of course it is, until yesterday.

What are you talking about?

Well, as of yesterday, weve slayed the ogres, and now theres not an ogre in the area that you can wash your eyes and look for, because weve dried up the seed.

Is that true?

Egos face brightened.

If they could get through the area where the ogres were breeding, they might be able to deliver the cargo by the promised date.

If you can do that, I will never forget this favour.

Very well.

Otto smiled.

Ill make a deal with you, especially since the tolls will be free.

Like?

This.

Otto slammed a red potion down on the table.

Im planning to distribute it in bulk can you do that?

The potion that Otto had placed on the table was a nourishing tonic made from the berries of the umbelliferous plant.

Otto replied with an odd smile at Camilles question.

Camille.

Yes, my lord.

I need you to prepare for the coronation.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Very well.

A few days later, Otto held a very small coronation ceremony and crowned himself king.

The nation was named the Kingdom of Iota, inheriting the name of the Iota estate.

Thus began the Scuderia dynasty of the Kingdom of Iota.

The kingdom was barely big enough to be called a country, but Otto didnt care.

A humble beginning, but shall be a great end!

This snotty little man had the knowledge and ability to turn a kingdom into a continent-spanning superpower, and he was not afraid of the ridicule of others.

[Notification: You have completed the quest <Build a Dynasty!]

Otto sat down on the throne, and the quest completion notification appeared in front of him.

Good. Now I just need to collect my reward.

Otto grinned.

I wonder what Ill get? I hope its something good.

Then.

!

Ottos eyes widened at the instant pain.

It wasnt an assassination.

Throbbing!

His chest ached.

It felt like someone was stabbing him in the heart with a knife.

Ugh!

Otto clutched at his chest, and soon he was out cold.

A sudden heart attack hit him.

Your Majesty!

Camille rushed towards the fallen Otto.
