Volume 4 Chapter 1 – Everyday at the Inn 1
Author’s Notes:
This is a sudden time skip.
But I guess it is alright to read?
『Dragon Emperor’s Mistletoe』 Inn.
A lone inn that stood silently in the commerce district of the royal capital Khanklan.
A place which was separated from the commerce district’s main street; an area which was quite far from the clatter of the city, was at present, receiving the attention of the world for a single matter.
The inn was quiet even when it was the peak of business hours and was tinged with it’s usual calmness. The lone shadow of a man could be seen heading towards the inn.
–
A beautiful girl stood deep in thought at the counter.
(…… Really, a lot of things have happened, haven’t they ~ )
A trip to another world, becoming a student, and also becoming an adventurer. I really must thank Uns.h.i.+n.
The mistress of this inn who gave her grat.i.tude toward Uns.h.i.+n, who was not there, was『Carla Grace』.
Her calm noon came to an abrupt end because of the appearance of one man.
—– BAM !
[Carla, I’ve come ~ . Please make me the dearest imperial dream! (read: omurice) Also, please become my wife! ]
[Welcome, Kail ….. I’ll make that order right away, but I’ll not become your wife, okay? Also, please don’t break the door ~]
Entering the inn with a vigour that would normally have caused the door to break, the man approached Carla.
Although there might have been some who already realized after hearing the name of the man, combined with his green hair, but he was in fact –
The Oo-klan kingdom king, [Kail – Ooklan], himself.
He had been chosen as king at the age of 18, and had held the seat of power for 8 years, making him now 26 years old.
After he was chosen as king, many of the n.o.bles sent in their daughter through every means so that she could marry Kail and become the queen, but he did not even bat an eyelid to wards these matters and even became infamous as a gay king with the lack of any women around him. However, after meeting Carla, his character completely turned around a 180 degrees.
[Oh, sorry sorry. Since I always come here everyday thinking that I finally have a little bit of chance you know ….. ]
Contrarily to his vigorous entrance, Kail closed the door softly while muttering.
Yes, he visited Carla’s inn everyday.
It was not like Kail himself did not have any interest in women. However, every time he attended banquets as the son of a n.o.ble, he hated the way that women would scorn each other over beauty-related matters.
No matter how beautifully they dressed themselves………no, it was because they dressed up so beautifully that the ugly part within them was revealed.
Because of that, no matter how beautifully dressed a woman appeared to be in front of him, he would not care for them.
In fact, when he first met Carla, he felt the same way.
[That’s impossible, right?…… Yup, it’s done! The dearest imperial dream(omurice) has appeared! Eat it quickly, then go back to do your governor business.]
The reason that the sole man who didn’t respond to Carla’s beauty (or rather it would be better to say that he indeed reacted but was reluctant to see the filthy part inside) came everyday to propose to Carla was due to a really simple reason. That was……..
It’s none other than the food that Carla made was absolutely delicious.
[Ou. No matter when I see it, it always looks delicious, eh?]
The first time Kail had a taste of Carla’s cuisine was from the bread that some n.o.ble presented to him.
