Chapter 92 (1/2)

A gathering

When the door opened, the first thing that came into view was the king and queen sitting on the throne in front of us.

And on the both sides are sparkling people.

The problem is after that.

… Why are those people in dogeza?

Is dogeza that popular?

The sight of grandparents rapidly walking forward appeared in front of the stiffened me.

I followed in panic.

Ignoring the people on the sides, my grandfather came in front of the king.

”I'm glad you came, Sword G.o.d-dono. I've been looking forward to meeting the treasured child of Sword G.o.d-dono.”

The king spoke to grandfather.

In contrast, grandfather said curtly.

”I don't wish to be greeted with dogeza.”

Upon hearing it, the king got fl.u.s.tered.

”No, I told them dogeza is overdoing it. However, their sentiment remained unchanged. At any rate, I have never asked them to greet you with dogeza.”

Upon hearing it, grandfather let out a big sigh and headed for the people in dogeza.

”The lord of this country does not wish for you to dogeza before the likes of a previous margrave.”

Eh?

The lord of this country?

Perhaps only I don't understand why those people are in dogeza.

”No, what our country did is unacceptable. Even after Sword G.o.d-sama advised us, eventually the situation ended as such. Had Christopher-sama not made a move, we would still be in a state of extreme chaos, and countless demons would have appeared in Sword G.o.d-sama's territory. I sincerely apologize.”

He's still in dogeza while talking.

But I might have figured who these people are.

The new king of the Southern Country and his entourage…

”Haa~~, I accept your apology. So, would you stop with the dogeza? My granddaughter came with me today. I don't want her to see such a sight.”

Ah, grandfather is started to get irritated.

Hey, people of the Southern Country~~, get up already!

I hate when grandfather gets obstinate.

Grandfather's displeasure was finally conveyed, and the people of Southern Country, who were looking down, glanced at grandfather.

Having understood grandfather's expression, they tried getting up at once…

Yup, their feet were numb.

Honestly, I'm sure they wanted to stand up neatly.

Yet the reality was five of the king's aides were wobbling.
