The Lazy Dragon is Working Hard 007 (1/2)
“Welcome young Emperor.”
I was sitting lazily and looked down at the young man with a bossy att.i.tude. Afterall, I failed to persuade Runamiria to lower the throne's height. So I now looked very imposing.
“Haha.. The 24th generation of Gozman Empire's Emperor, Harold. My name is Guardian Dragon G.o.d of Sloth.”
It was enough to scare the h.e.l.l out of Harold. Direct gaze from above was pressuring him.
“The first Emperor of Gozman Empire was my ally. Those who have his blood is also my al-ugh..”
I bit my own tongue. It’s Runamiria fault, she said 'Please speak with dignity so the name of Dragon G.o.d won't be put to shame.'
“Ha ha.. Thank you for patronizing me.”
“Umm.. Well, you did a great job for reaching my throne. It was done half a day earlier than your successor.”
Actualy it’s a big deal. He reached my throne so quick. I was hoping to get a quick nap first. However it was a mere, simple barrier to make them think like me. Lazy, sloth, it can’t be broken by a regular person.
If not for the first Gozman Emperor, I would have sent him back right now.
If it was anyone else, and since I was ordered not to kill anyone, I would have threw them out.
However he came for a coronation ordeal. The test for the human's diligence was enough.
“Alright.. Now, you have completed the coronation first step. Please return to the empire.”
However just when I uttered that, Runamiria entered the hall.
“What are you doing Runamiria? ”
”Guardian-sama.. I was just. (how can I leave him alone with a man in a room).”
”Whatever. Anyway you have completed your ordeal. You should left this cave as soon as you can because if you stay here too long, it will cause be a harm to your body. Please return.. ”
”Please wait.. I want to ask the Sloth G.o.d. ”
”Hm.. What is it? ”
Is he trying to ask me about how to lead a country? My hobby in my previous life was sleeping. I don’t know anything about ruling a country.
”Sloth-sama.. In your mind, what is the perfect king like? ”
”The perfect king? ”
”Yes. My father Garandia was blessed by you with valor. Unparalleled talent in governing, he brought development to the empire. However, I am far from him. How can I be a good king? ”
Oh no. When did I give the previous Emperor a blessing?
”I confess that I am weak. If I became the emperor, the Empire will absolutely decline. If couldn’t lead the people, how can I lead a country?”
Aah.. I now remember someone who said the same thing.
“Hahahahahaha…. ”
”Sloth-sama? ”
”Forgive me. It was funny that someone once asked me the same thing. ”
”Someone asked the same thing? ”
”Five-hundred years ago. There was no empire, only countless wars reigned in supremacy. A farmer came to me and said: 'I want to end this war'. ”
“How come a mere farmer ask the Guardian G.o.d such a thing? ”
Oh, Emperor-kun showed a surprised face. It was natural. A farmer broke into my shrine. For the Emperor-kun who gone through the same test, he must be shocked.
”Of course I refused. As a Guardian G.o.d, I only solve problem and shouldn’t be biased towards the people. ”
Hearing my words Runamiria just nodded.
It was a true story, at least half of it. We Guardian Dragon G.o.d can’t side with the humans. If we help someone, many others will ask for our help too. Then it will be troublesome.
”However it was true that it will be better if the war ends. ”
”So? Did that farmer became the emperor? ”
In my previous life in j.a.pan, there was a farmer named Toyotomi Hideyos.h.i.+ that became a lord. Some famous figure lineage also came from a farmer family.
”The farmer was surprised whrn I toldhim this. The one who wanted to stop the war was him. So he should be the one who will stop it. ”
