Chapter 74 (1/2)

I had a headache due to an unexpected situation.

In front of me is a figure of a king of a country that keeps his head down while being in the presence of his angry subordinate.

And he even voluntarily surrender his own country.

The confusion of the soldiers has reached its peak too.

I had Lagreat to be in his dragon form to be seen as the one with the upper position but the effect is beyond my imagination.

「… I said it is an alliance.」

I don’t know how to deal with a va.s.sal country.

When I was looking at Creivis who lowered his head with such a feeling, a middle-aged man who was trying to make Creivis stand looked at me.

「The-there’s no problem with the alliance! H-his Majesty is a bit tired! Ha, haha! He had been drinking liquor since a while ago…」

「You're tired? Are you okay, King Creivis?」

A king of a large country seems to have a heavy responsibility. His face is not red but his fingers are trembling, probably because of alcohol.

「What are you saying Yuta! Look! It's dragon knight-sama! Burn your eyes to that divine figure!」

「Your Majesty, raise your face and look at King Ren-sama!」

「I will not raise my face, I can't do such a terrible thing!」

「Raise your face you fool!」

Looking at it, Creivis is arguing with the man named Yuta and in the end, Yuta was yelling at Creivis.

It’s a panic.

「Minister Villiers」

「Y-yes, what is it?」

When I said something, Villiers returned an answer to me while having a stunned expression.

「I a.s.sume that I should talk we them some other time. The venue would be Val Valhalla Castle. Treat King Crevis as an ally.」

「Yes, I understand… But, why don't you want them to be your subordinate? There is no other easy way to obtain a large va.s.sal country.」

「I do not need it. It is troublesome. If our country were attacked, we would crush them, but if they want to be our allies, that would be good enough.」

「Y-yes…I understand.」

I said so to Villiers and left that troublesome place.

Three days later.

We decided to have a meeting with Creivis in the capital, the old Grado village. They moved here at full speed.

What's with that energy?

「Th-this is dragon knight-sama's castle…!」

Creivis was looking up at Val Valhalla Castle with tears.

「I-indeed…Is this all mithril? Ha,haha. No, no way…」

Yuta looks around the castle while having a dry laugh.

The man in the armor and red robe, which is diagonally behind Yuta, opened his mouth.

「…Mithril. It looks exactly the same as Brunhilde's s.h.i.+ning sword.」

I turned my gaze to the man because he suddenly mentioned Brunhilde.

「Are you acquainted with Brunhilde?」

When he heard that, the man lowered his eyes and opened his mouth.

「…I'm in the same adventurer party, your grace.」

「Hou, that means you're Oguma? An S-rank?」

When I asked, Oguma narrowed his eyes and shook his head left and right.

「No, our party, Silver Wind, only has two S-rank adventurers and I'm not one of them.」

「Then it’s only Brunhilde and Meldia? Shouldn't you all be S rank by conquering the dungeon together?」

When I said those words, Oguma nodded and opened his mouth.

「Before the dungeon capture, Brunhilde and Meldia are A rank, Marina, Ataratte and I were B rank. All of us ranked up one level.」

Listening to Oguma's explanation, I nodded lightly.

I see.

It seems that not everyone will be S ranked because they capture a dungeon.

「Your Majesty, are the members of the silver wind here?」

When I was thinking, Oguma asked about Brunhilde's party.

「Ah, perhaps they are in their house behind the adventurers guild.」
