A week has passed since the demons attacked the King's City.
I was kneeling in the throne room now. The interior of the hall may still have scratches on the walls, but repairs to floors and doors have already been completed. Both sides have the same style of cunei and lizard. And the king of the kingdom sits in the throne room in front of him, and next to him stands Aina, his daughter.
Others are noblemen in fine costumes and soldiers in high-end armor.
"I feel halfway out of place....."
I don't know how you feel, but just hang in there.
When I whispered with a whisper, Gram scolded me. You're supposed to fly even a little joke to soothe the air at times like this.
I'll choose the time and the time. Besides, my partner did the right thing to be called here. Keep your chest tight. "
The reason I'm here is because I was allowed to work in an unprecedented raid a week ago.
Having said that, I haven't seen the end of that case with my own eyes.
After all, after the evil dragon summoned by the demon clan was mutilated with "awakened gram", various things slightly broke the limit and the consciousness was blown away.
However, as if timing had been gauged, a party of Relics braves who were fighting outside King's Landing arrived shortly afterwards. He jumped into the hall from the door destroyed by the aftermath of the dragon splitting in half.
The magical faction that was continuously summoning the Urban Beast was also destroyed, and the Urban Beast that remained in the hall was destroyed in no time thanks to the appearance of the Heroic Party. It seems that the Demons have also been wounded, but unfortunately, they have escaped one step at a time.
Nevertheless, simultaneous raids outside and inside King's Landing. In addition, the assassination of a heavy town that serves as the hub of the nation. It would be a luxury to spare the extent of escaping one of the Demons because there is so little human damage even though there is so much disturbance.
I woke up three days after the incident. The ceiling of the guest room in the royal castle was the first sight to wake up. It wasn't as serious as it was when I was covolking, but it seems to have exhausted to its limit, both physically and mentally.
Incidentally, the Demons were relaying the state of the hall outside the castle with the magic of projection, but the footage was cut off just when I destroyed the Demons' sword. According to Gram, the impact at that time disturbed the magic control and made it impossible to maintain the magic of projection. Therefore, the sight of me making the dragon into two is not communicated to the people.
Therefore, it seems that my activities are spreading among the people in the form of "buying time for the brave men to arrive". Regardless of the details, it is not so wrong as long as only the facts are extracted.
Mikage was outraged at my injustice, but I dared not say anything until now.
Still, the fact that I went is something I know for those who were there. It was thus recognized that the King would call me personally.
"Raise your face."
The king gave us permission, and we raised our faces.
I couldn't afford it during the incident, and I fainted in the middle of it. This is the first time I have seen the king's face from the front. In other words, I don't think there are any civilians who can see the king's face at this distance.
I saw Aina standing next to me. After the incident, I was in a state of flutter, and it was not until the time of the incident that I met my face like this.
Eina is wearing a dress like a princess or a princess, and she looks like she's even more polished by her original beauty. She's pointing a soft smile at us, and I'm about to lose sight of it.
Yes, let's turn to the king for now. I don't know how you feel. "
Oh, yeah. I somehow turned my horizontal gaze back towards the king.
"Verily, your work this time was great. Had it not been for you, this country would have suffered enormously. Neither he nor his daughter could have been safe. Thank you."
You're welcome, but let me tell you something.
"It's an honor to be in you, when you need it. It's easier."
I don't know.
It's too good for me.
It's an endless bar reading......
I don't know what to do. I've never been in a place like this.
"... but unfortunately, I can't tell the public all about your work."
Pickles and mica's ears were shaking, but I controlled them lightly.
"That demon tribe, as he himself said, is the Demon King's best soldier. If the brave man defeats it brilliantly, the people have hope in the fight against the demon king, who will be resurrected in the near future. I'm sorry, this is politics."
I expected that to happen. In addition to the soldiers, there were many other mercenaries I brought with me. I couldn't stand the door in people's mouths, but I thought it was a little strange to tell the story.
"But I don't mean to be ashamed enough to forget the thanks I've received. Even if the facts were made public, I would be grateful for them. Say what you want. Wherever possible, I will listen responsibly."
How many people in this country can hear 'responsible' from the king's mouth? It's an opportunity for civilians alone to meet once in their lifetime, or many times in their lives.
Perhaps we can demand a fair amount of money and honor. It will also give you a position to grasp the money and more glory that you will never need to eat in your lifetime.
But ─ ─
"Kunai, Mikage"
"Yeah, I know."
"As you wish."
The two nodded without asking deeply. You already know what I'm hoping for. I approached the king in gratitude to them.
"… His Majesty the King. No status, no money, no honor. There's only one thing I want."
"Hoo... what is that?
The king's expression became intriguing. I have no idea what color that face will look like in the next moment. If you succeed, it may not be a reward.
Still, I talked.
"Your daughter ─ ─ Dear Eina. I want that."
