It was Ray who was surprised to hear from Jeeve that the Emperor wanted to meet himself, but it was Vihera who was even more surprised than such Ray.
Before I ran away from the Bestian Empire, I should have had a few conversations a month, too, father.
I had no love for my parents, but still had respect for the fact that I was moving a big country like this Bestian Empire properly.
Such a person says he wants to see Ray, so it would be natural to feel political intent there.
I was anxious because I knew Ray hated what happened to that hand, but there Jeeve says something even more unexpected.
"Your Highness Vihella... No, if Vihella would like to join us."
"... me too?
"Yes, Master Vihella has worked well enough in this battle, so I thought that might be why"
"For once I ran away from this country... is that okay?
Jeeve smiles and nods back at Vihera, who confirms her condition, just in case.
"Of course, I'm well aware of the tragists around here. On top of that, it's okay, so I was wondering if you don't mind. It's been a long time since I've seen His Majesty the Emperor, and please take your time."
"Long before I ran away, Father... no, I meant to see His Majesty the Emperor a few times a month"
"You know you're ruling this vast country called the Bestian Empire, so you're not going to make that much free time?
Vihera flaunts her shoulders with words that tell her to embarrass herself, and so does that.
In doing so, his chest shakes with a razor, and Jeeve gathers the gaze of the other officials who were around him anyway... and even the sights of the soldiers.
"Mm, Cohon. Dear Vihella, I was wondering if I should dress a little more dearly when I see you in His Majesty the Tragist. Your Majesty will mourn if she finds out that her daughter is dressed in such a provocative manner."
Just being in a high position, Jeeve tells Vihella that without even looking at her chest.
But Vihera smiles and opens her mouth without looking like she cared for the words of Zieve.
"Really? I don't think that father would care how I dress. And, unfortunately, I'm the adventurer's vihella right now. This is the only way I've brought my outfit."
"... you'll catch a cold in this cold, won't you?
"It's okay, because I have a good idea around it. These clothes look pretty warm."
clothes? Jeeve would never be wrong to want to ask.
What Vihella is wearing is a thin coat that the other side sees through.
Underneath, only the inner wearing over the underwear covers the flesh of Vihella's man lover.
It's like a whore or dancer wearing, not very much, but not the outfit Jeeve imagines when he hears it's clothes.
"Yeah. It works as a magic item, to be exact."
"... oh, I see. Thought you were dressed rationally and exciting, was it a magic item"
"That's right.... I didn't seem very interested in the exciting split?
Vihera naturally understands that she has the beauty and body to stimulate a man's desires because she wears this kind of outfit.
Of course I don't expect to be seen as closely as I would call visual rape than I am in the position of being a former royal family, but still casually like the other soldiers... but I thought I would do something that would turn my gaze over and over again.
But Jeeve was about to be blinded for a moment, but that's all in the end.
"Because I look like this and I have a loving wife"
"You're the same loving wife. So, what do we do? I've only brought these clothes, and most importantly, I'm an adventurous Vihera right now, so I'm not going to take these off in a detour, am I?
That's what I told you, Vihera, but naturally the word was a lie.
This thin coat is a pretty expensive magic item in the first place, and it's not as easy as buying a spare when something happens.
That's why I'm naturally also prepared to be able to get dressed right away when something happens.
Still, as I just said, for the adventurer Vihera, this outfit is what it is today.
I would have to keep a weapon like my armor or toenail before I saw it, but I didn't mean to take off any of this thin clothes.
"And... because there's only one person in this world who thought I could take this off and show you inside"
The flush was directed at Ray, who is eating dishes served on a plate while listening next to Vihera.
To the words of Vihera, mislead with a troubled grin.
Seeing such an exchange between the two, I guess Jeeve understood Ray's relationship with Vihera.
I think about something a little bit, and eventually I just nod back when I have no choice.
"Okay. His Majesty the Tragist is originally a person who doesn't care about details. If it's the words of Vihella, there won't be any problems."
reluctantly...... Vihera smiles beautifully at Sieve, who shrugs like really reluctantly.
Are you sure the other officials are okay? and looking at Jeeve more, but seeing him gaze at Vihella's limbs again and again at that time is not very, but unconvincing.
Was it unlucky or fortunate that Querda, who is forcefully lowered in the hands of Jeeve, could not see Vihella's limbs?
Less, I guess I was lucky because I never got a lower rating from Jeeve.
... although my attitude towards Ray had already led to a huge negative rating.
"So it's time to go? Your Majesty the Tragist is waiting."
"From now on? Have you finished watching?
Vihera is surprised by that word that casually came out of Zieve's mouth.
That's the same with Ray, reflexively speaking toward Jeeve.
"From now on?
"Yes, the sight has already come to an end and we are now only taking time for the royal family. … there is also the case of His Highness Kabazid."
Getting out of Jeeve's mouth convinces Ray and at the same time raises new questions.
I don't mind calling Vihera as it stands.
In the sense of mourning the death of Kabazid, because even if you run away from the country, Vihera is no different than being part of the family.
But I wondered why I was called there.
(Because I worked in this civil unrest? No, then you won't have to call me to spend time with my family...)
Ray in doubt, but Vihera softly places her hand on Ray's shoulder.
"It doesn't make sense to worry. Father does things without clapping sometimes, so it's not that strange this time around. It would be more rude to keep your father waiting here. Let's go."
To the words of Vihera, Ray rises to be invited.
It was true that it would be rude to wait for someone in the position of emperor, and it was right that he was interested in a person named Tragist who he saw in the arena.
In the sense of royalty, he was Ray, who had met Vihela, Merclio, Frizione and, as an enemy, Schuls and Kabazid face-to-face, but had never met the emperor himself in close proximity.
I only saw it from afar in the arena, and still felt something from the tragists to call even the overwhelming character of being.
Then I'd like to see you in person...... no wonder I thought so.
"Apparently, you cared about that. Shall we go then?"
As guided by Jeeve, who smiled at Ray's condition, Ray and Vihera leave the hall, which had been liberated as a banquet hall.
The guerrilla soldiers, as well as the other soldiers who were in this hall, were each dropping off Ray and Vihella with expressions like they saw something amazing.
"Master Vihella still can't believe His Majesty the Emperor even Captain Ray... I knew it would be awesome"
"Sure. It's just, you know, you were expecting the neighborhood, right? There's no one else who doesn't know Master Vihella is in love with Captain Ray. In other words, isn't that what this is? Give me your daughter."
"... to His Majesty the Emperor?
"... Captain Ray, you're not gonna get into a fight with His Majesty the Emperor, are you?
……
To that one word, many of those who were listening to the current exchanges in the vicinity will remain silent.
In this large hall, a drunken and noisy voice, unaware that Jeeves had arrived, was so noisy in the soldiers' ears.
Lord Ray, I'm sorry, but I need you to leave your weapon with me.
Walking from the Great Hall where we were having a banquet, about enough. Geeve tells Ray so when he gets to the room, which is either at the end of the castle or not at the center of the castle.
"Weapon?... Is this it?
Pull out every sheath of the misrill knife you were wearing on your hips and hand it to Jeeve.
But Jeeve takes it, but he shakes his head to the side.
"I am also aware that Lord Ray has an item box. It also houses a number of weapons. In addition, the item box allows you to instantly get what you want into your hands. And... more than Lord Ray is an adventurer of aliases, with such weapons in his hands... there is no reason to let him pass in front of His Majesty the Tragist with such a thing in his hand as could be called a dangerous object"
"... I see"
It would have been natural to think about it, nodding Ray.
Ray himself has no consciousness, but has a background of being the bearer of power who has even retreated from noise, even more so the adventurer belonging to the Kingdom of Mireana, who has been hostile to the Bestian Empire for many years, and in this civil unrest he fought against the Crusaders.
... That much alignment, I see, wondering if it's strange to recognize yourself as a potential enemy.
But... that doesn't make it so easy to hand over Mystering, which is also Ray's lifeline.
If they keep running away, it won't even be fatal for Ray... but it's true that it will still be devastating.
"I'm sorry, but this is my lifeline. I can't give it to you. If you really have to give it to me, unfortunately, I won't let you see it."
To that word, an official other than Jeeve opens his eyes.
Because I didn't think anyone would refuse a call from the Emperor if I tried to be one of the Bestian Empires.
Most importantly, this is not because Ray is a national of the Kingdom of Mireana...
Even the people of the kingdom of Mireana will unconditionally obey if the emperor says they want to see each other when most of them come to the Bestian Empire.
This neighborhood still happened because Ray's values were different.
I wouldn't have understood Ray's words like that, but Jeeve takes the little box out of his nostalgia.
"You certainly have a point in what Lord Ray says. Especially since it is true that Lord Ray is remorseful to many in this country, I know you can't say yes when you are told you will keep the item box. So... what do you think? You put an item box in this box, you lock it, and Lord Ray holds both the key and the box."
"... I see"
Jeeve's thoughts were certainly easily accepted, even by Ray.
Finally, we just need Ray to make the item box unavailable right away, because we don't necessarily have to leave that unavailable item box with someone else.
"Let me ask you something, the keys work properly, don't they? For example, once you've locked it, you'll never be able to use it again..."
"Yeah, as you can see"
Saying so, Jeeve repeated several times that the key he had was unlocked.
Seeing that, I guess Ray finally relieved himself, too. When I put the mistering in the box I was given, I lock it up and hold it in my hand.
"... Lord Ray, do you seem to have forgotten something?
My surroundings exhaled in relief, at that time. Sieve's voice echoes around him again.
"Something you forgot?
"Yep. A magic item on the waist. That's a weapon, too, isn't it?
Nebra eyes that use magic to create a
This magic item has been acquired since coming to the Bestian Empire.
"... quite remarkable."
Ray, whining small, takes out Nebra's eyes, which were hooked to his waist belt, and passes them to the man with the misrill knife.
I wanted to keep one or so of my weapons for when something happened, but now I will have let go of all of my genuine weapons.
Most importantly, Ray's physical abilities are originally superior, and he has more weapons than he has the skill of Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, but he has them, but the degree of danger varies greatly.
Vihera also hands off her armor and toenails.
"Then we will return this weapon after we have seen it."
Deeply thankful, Jeeve knocked on the door of the room.
