-You have selected ”Decline to Rule”.
One big reason I declined is that...
IT'S A HASSLE.
It's troublesome to handle things in ruling a nation. I don't even like creating a guild by myself which is much easier to handle than ruling an entire kingdom. As much as I hate it, it's one of the things I don't like the most. It's annoying and takes a lot of processes that I don't even care about.
One more thing is that it felt wrong to rule over a kingdom that is not governed by a human and what is more, it is a kingdom that hoped to be independent of humans. Although they will still want to make contact with humans, they don't want a government that a human is involved. Things get messed up if a human is involved.
And it would become much worse if a player does control it.
”What happened Master?” Tina asked.
I scratch the back of my head when I heard Tina call me Master. As much as I am concerned, Tina, it is pretty uncomfortable for Tina to call me one since she has usually called me Bladeheart before.
”It's nothing. Now, are you sure you want to follow me? The road that I am following is an arduous and troublesome path, this is not just an easy path you will walk into if you choose to come with me.”
”I have no regrets, Master. I know what I am doing now, so I will follow till the very end!”
In the end, Tina became one of my followers.
...
...
Due to the request of Tina, we didn't participate in the restoration of the Insect Kingdom. As much as she wanted to help, she is not obliged to do especially since she is running away from her responsibilities as a ruler.
King Goliath woke up a few hours after I accepted Tina's request to become my follower. Despite missing both arm and confused by the situation he was in, he immediately managed to control the situation. After the demons were defeated, the previous inhabitants of the kingdom turned out to be hiding near the kingdom's borders. Someone helped them to evacuate, allowing to minimize the fatality rate of the demons invading and as a result, no one from the inhabitants died.
As for us, we are now returning. After the events and the demons have been killed, the last thing we are currently doing before returning back to Resurgia is to activate the Teleport Portal. After the quest was over, the situation that should have brought over the second expansion and the second Pioneer quest was cancelled after I managed to clear it all by myself and finished it before the scenario began.
...
”Alright, that should be done without a hitch,” I grinned the moment the portal was fully activated.
The portal is located from the outskirts of the Insect Kingdom. Compared to the Teleport Portals of Resurgia and Sandurk, the teleport portal of the Aquagius is near the Insect Kingdom's borders but not inside the city or the kingdom itself.
Since it won't activate until someone fixes it, I decided to volunteer in fixing it. As someone who have fixed one before in the past timeline due to a quest, I am quite familiar in activating the Teleport Portal that is not functional. Since the limiter for the Teleport Portal has been activated, we can now safely repair the thing and once it is repaired, it can be used to return to Sandurk or Resurigia.
”Looks like things are not going to be much hectic now, huh?” Lina sighed in relief.
”With the demons out of the threat, the Insect Kingdom just needed to recover on their own. Our job here is done, and if they wanted to gain independence, then the only thing they have to do is to prove that they can do it with their own power. That is the beginning of the independence of the kingdom itself,” Tina looked back at the current Insect Kingdom.
”Do you regret doing it?” I asked Tina.
”No. Even I needed to be independent too. This is just the first step for me to learn more about the outside world.”
I lightly smiled and activate the portal.
”Teleport to Sandurk.”
White flash appeared and engulfed our body before we disappear completely before the portal. Now, only time will tell when I will get back to Aquagius again. Maybe in the foreseeable future.
