-----------------------------------

Very early in the morning, the prince and princess arrive at the building that we had taken possession the day before while they were accompanied by what looked like some guards. I thought that maybe they could take longer to talk to the King about our request, then they would hand me some paper like the one from the previous time and the King would grant me permission for these things. But unexpectedly, it was necessary for me to go personally to the castle this time...

For a moment I was concerned as I thought that maybe the King found out that I was spanking his daughter's butt, maybe some kind of shadow guard had been watching us all the way! But seeing them act normal, and that the guards did not jump on me, it seems that was not the case.

Well, since both royals still kept trying to pretend to be adventurers, Lorens-kun when he saw us quickly said that Nurt's guild had a good relationship with the King as a pretext for this. So if the thing of earlier would happen, then I will make the excuse that I believed that Cleirsa-san was a normal adventurer.

So once we finished getting ready, Saya, Reví, Leona, Vrana, and I boarded the beautifully adorned vehicle to go to the castle. Then, soon we enter the noble zone and so I realize something...

”So this place is also a level 10 zone...”

”Yes, the noble area of the capital and the castle is a level 10 zone. The rest of the city is level 9”

Since the previous time I visited the capital I did not have any business in the noble area, I did not realize this. But if you thought about it a bit, it was logical that the castle of the ruler of this kingdom was located in one of the best areas of this territory.

If we compare this place with our base, it seems that the area that this zone cover is much larger. Also, as said Turla that answers my comment, the whole city is level 9 zone.

Soon we passed through the main gate of the castle that was guarded by many men from the 8th limit and some from the 9th... it would certainly be problematic to get out of here if things with the King went wrong.

By the way, ever since the prince and the others appeared in front of us, Turla had been totally vigilant of me... even now every time I make a move, she takes a position guarding the princess... I think she is worried about being scolded if she allowed me to harass the princess like the before time.

…I wanted to tell her that I wasn't stupid enough to do something like that in the castle or in front of others here and so she didn't need to be so defensive, but if I did this, then that would imply that I have done it before. I really wish she would stop doing that or the other guards might think I'm dangerous...

After the vehicle is parked, other servants immediately guide us inside the castle until soon we are in a great hall with several people already there… needless to say, here was the King.

Probably the easiest way to describe him is that he was like a mature Lorens-kun... he was sitting on a great throne surrounded by some men, so when we entered they all set their eyes on us. Then, after both sides look at each other for a few seconds, the King is the first to speak.

”So you're Alexander... I've heard a few things about you, but it seems like you are definitely a promising boy.”

”…Thank you, your majesty. Your words honor me... ”

Seeing the King of this kingdom had surprised me a bit, so it took me a few seconds to reply to his words. While he has the position as a regent from this kingdom, I was already mentally prepared to meet him, so what caused me to get immobile for a few seconds was due to something else...

This guy had a Soul level 2, hell!!

[King of Delna] [Solemnity of the King-C] [Level 137]

Shit! This if I was a little surprised... or perhaps should have expected this since the princess was a 9th limit? Well, anyway, he was the first person I saw that had a level 2 soul… apparently he had a [Restraining Ring-F] to be able to move freely in this level 1 Area too.

” Umu, you don't need to be so formal with me… you can call me Fertt”

”Thank you, Fertt-san.”

Well, thinking that I was friends with both of his sons, after I recovered from the shock, I was no longer so concerned about the fact that he had a level 2 Soul. In fact, you could say that it was an advantage for me.

In addition, In addition, that he allowed me to speak in a normal way was a relief, I was not very good with the formalities. But... perhaps I should add the suffix ”Sama”? Or maybe his comment was for him to appear magnanimous and I should answer with something like ”I can do that, Your Majesty!”? Some of the other men in this place directed me a look strong when I call the king by his name...

It seems that the King didn't really care about this, and so he continues speaking.

”I heard that you took care of the criminal for whom we put a bounty and that also you managed to tame the monsters who had avoided us to take full advantage of the Eltin forest grounds. You have certainly helped this Kingdom a lot and that should be rewarded.

You will receive the reward that we had offered to the guild world for taken care of that criminal. And for your achievement about the Eltin forest, you will be awarded the title of Baron and that territory, so that you can manage it however you want”

It seems that I have achieved my purposes for which I came here, it's just that... the truth is that I was not very interested in something like a title of nobility... in fact, I think this is more annoying than beneficial.

While this has some advantages such as having some influence and protection of the Kingdom, a title of the nobility also means that practically I am subordinate to this King and he can order me anything... so that if there is something like wars or some troublemakers who oppose the kingdom, then I would have to fight too.

Well... if something bad happened to the kingdom, then the Cleirsa-san and Turla would also be affected, so in the end I would most likely also intervene. I couldn't let something happen to those two girls after all, so this isn't such a bad thing either.

”Don't worry, it is an honorary title, so you have no responsibility to the Kingdom.”

Perhaps seeing that I had frowned a bit when hearing about the title, the King continues and tells me that. Great! Although I would surely get involved if something bad happened in the kingdom for the two girls from before, at least I won't have to worry about being ordered things I don't want to do.

When the King finishes speaking, one of the men comes up to us and hands me a sheet to deliver to the world guild and get my reward. Regarding the title of nobility, it seems that this will only be reported to the other nobles so that they know this information.

It's good that we don't have to do a ceremony or something like that, I really didn't want to do something like that.

”Besides... I also wanted to thank you for the weapon you gave my son, if it weren't for this one, then his life would have been in danger, thank you”

…So this is the end of having to pretend that I don't know who Lorens-kun is? Well, that makes me a little glad since I had gotten a little tired of having to do that. Also, I don't think that now that I have ”discovered” that Cleirsa-san is a princess she will say something like ”know your place, commoner ” when I hug her.

”Is that so... then also give me a reward for that!”

”” ... ””

”A-Alexander-san ...”

”A-Alex-chan... e-even I think that's a bit off-putting, you know?”

As a modern person, I prefer something material than something like a simple thank you or just satisfying my feeling of altruism for doing good deeds. Besides, he was a King! So he would surely have good things!!

Unfortunately, it seems that not everyone was thinking the same as me... Saya and even Revy get nervous when listening to me while the others had remained silent. Well, if I don't get anything, then I won't complain so much either since I've achieved my goals by coming here, I just wanted to try my luck.

”Y-You, insolent Kid-”

”Hahaha, well, you're right. You have saved my son's life which is without a doubt is much more important than the things of before, so it would be strange not to reward this. Tell me, what do you want? ”

So when I pretended to lower my hand that I had extended to demand my reward due to one of the men who was next to the King seemed to get even more upset than having called the King by his name earlier.Unexpectedly the King starts laughing... then after said this, he happily takes a drink on a tray that brought a servant.
