Chapter 321 (1/2)
An Audience With His Majesty the E the day of rest, it was time for our audience
In the chae white pillars,it all feel like a temple
A handsoolden throne stationed three steps higher than the rest of us Raverio Empire’s emperor, Lionel Raverio
And beside hi and beautiful white Goddess… our Haku-san
We earing luxurious, rented outfits and kneeling before the steps on the carpet
I was in the front with Wataru and Rokuko to ht respectively Behind us were Gozoh, Roppu, and shi+kina, with Meat and Ichika in the rear
Sally-san, the knight leader, was there as Haku-san and the Euard, as well as several other civil servants It looked like there was even souess they were there to formally transcribe the event
“Raise your head”
“Your Majesty”
As I practiced on the previous day, I looked up toward the emperor
“Kehon Is this true?”
“Yes, it is… Please accept on talon frag her nails) and so the rest to the blacksmith) to a civil servant The man placed them on a silvery trayprobably mithril and delivered them to Emperor Lionel
The ement
After he exa to hi hi himself back to the matter at hand
“It’s true then, these are indeed the scales and talon of a flauished service of repelling the threat of a flaon from Our empire, ard you the title of Baron For those who accoain the Ventulier title And for Count Nishi+mi, there will be a monetary reward”
“”” Thank you, Your Majesty “””
Baron It hat I was inforet, but well… eh, blah Normally, B-Rank adventurers would become Ventuliers, but that wasn’t sufficient to reward the achieveh…
Starting frohts, Baronets, and Barons, so it was three ranks above everyone else It was four ranks above commoners… and was a title that would be succeeded by my children Hurrah
And as I had just been elevated to a rank at least as high or above a Landed Knight, I was given the ceremonial sword tap to the shoulders and had to swear fealty to the empire
… Some hero just had to have told thea and anime written ALL over it I took the cere that
By the way, I’d be keeping this sword It was so a Baron… let’s decorate the office when I get back hoic swordssurveillance caht? This is just a standard, run-of-the- according to schedule and all that was left was it co to an end Pfft
Ito chat with the e, the only reason I was summoned here was for this But seriously da faq couldn’t they have just ended this with a letter saying it all… I mean, they obviously couldn’t, but still
“You may ask these ht, could I have so now”
Haku-san smiled as she interrupted the emperor
Called it
Haku-san interrupted! I knew this would happen from the instant I saw her here
Haku-san waved her hand, sending the civil servants scurrying out of the room Were they on her payroll?
The only ones left were Haku-san, the emperor, Sally-san, and us… I wanted to head off as well, but I figured that probably would’ve been bad
“Rokuko-chan”
Hearing Haku-san call for her, Rokuko blinked, looking like she was at a loss
This was definitely not in the script we’d rehearsed yesterday
“Noould you come here?”
“O-Okay”
Called forward oh-so fahtlessly went up the steps
Oi Isn’t this entirely against what that person yesterday told us about those steps being there to show the difference in our ranks? The heck’re you goin’ up ’eeon is huuuuuge!
Though even the e his brow as if to show his displeasure This was probably a spur of thefro from Haku-san
“Ufufufu♪”
