I have brought Earl Ricardo, the Lion of the Orient Royal, and his escort safely to the palace of the Kingdom of Ledon.

Phew, my head is a little dizzy.

Although I'm a senior spirit, I've flown back and forth between the Orient Kingdom and adjacent borders in less than a week, so I can't help but get tired.

It was worth it, though, because Rica managed to get to him one step ahead of Earl Raymond. Mr. Archmage, surely magic has a great but oddly foolish angle to it.

I can't believe you fell for a salamander. You know you've been fooled, don't you? I'm afraid of the pain.

Anyway, I was able to fly that long distance between two people. I never imagined I'd be this superhuman in my life.

It was not just me I was impressed with.

“I never thought I'd get here so fast! Spirit Warriors really are great people. ”

Earl Ricardo was horrified. I should have. I was surprised myself. You think I was wrong?

“Thank you very much. ”

“Thanks to you, I'm able to reach my destination with ease. Thank you so much."

“Haha, we cannot entertain our precious guests from the Orient Kingdom. ”

“Thank you. I should go and ask King Leaden for an audience." I'll see you next time. ”

“Yes, we'll probably see each other again soon. ”

“Soon?”

In my heartfelt words, Earl Ricardo tilted his head.

“Haha.”

I turned my back smiling instead of answering. I'll see you at the negotiating table, Count Ricardo.

I'm gonna take a little break somewhere.

“The Orient Royal Court must have sent him as an ambassador and then sent him back for Count Raymond. ”

“Huh, you're in a hurry to send the Grand Chamberlain of the Seven Circles. ”

King Erik is greatly surprised by what Warden Duron has to say. Marquis Raymond was a great wizard who had made a name for himself all over the continent. Although his personality is a little awkward and he's into magic research and his political activity is not very active, even the 7 circles of magic are already a strategic-level stage.

Duke Duron adds with a smile.

“Even though Caroc Kunt, or Ligand, is one step ahead. ”

King Erik smiles.

“He's a higher spirit. I have nothing to compare it to Earl Raymond. ”

King Erik has also been informed by the late Duron that Caroc was a superior spirit.

I don't know how surprised I am.

The Horn Empire has three error masters, including Earl Halstein. Duke Joel Britain, the most perfect man on the continent, and the Grand Wizard Raymond. I thought the Kingdom of Leaden in between was the only one worthy of standing, Duke Meutt.

However, there was a Senior Spirit because he was eating right before his eyes. I knew I was a capable servant in many ways, but I didn't realize I was so close to high spirituality. It was a wonder how he was able to achieve the highest level of competence in many ways at the age of only mid-20s.

“You tried to take a man like that, and I can't underestimate the duc royal family. I almost lost my precious treasure with my eyes open. Luckily, the Ligand was quick to notice. ”

“Never forget that, Your Majesty. that the Orient Kingdom is ultimately a interest group representing the interests of a country. Even if this alliance were to happen, that would not change. ”

“I know. This is not the Orient Royal Court that was about to enter our country's civil war a long time ago. If our relationship isn't mutually beneficial, it could always be broken. ”

It was King Erik who had yet to forget about his half-brother Brannado, the Second Prince, who fought for the throne.

The wounds inflicted by the civil war were still not healed.

The royal power of civil war has been overwhelmed by the Jehovah and pushed away, and we are only now seeking to reverse the negotiations on the Baden River.

But what would have happened if the Orient Kingdom had successfully intervened in the civil war and placed its brother, Prince Brando II, on the throne?

The Orient Kingdom is a much more terrifying force than after the siege. It must have swallowed up the whole country.

Luckily, Earl Ranzhel, who was leading the charge in the aftermath, was quick to judge. I quickly took King Erik's side, and soon enough, the Orient Kingdom was unable to intervene and eliminated Prince Brando's Rebellion faction.

Then, could the Orient Kingdom have regrouped without any income?

No, it's not.

Prince Brando II, who had lost his way to defeat, absorbed the remaining forces of the Orient Kingdom. The remaining forces were uniquely transformed into the forces of the Orient Kingdom.

The ruling dispute was a joint venture between the haunted Orient King and the great political senses of the Duke of Britain.

That was the Orient Kingdom.

A country that should never be careless.

They too were an empire that once ruled the continent and would still not give up that dream.

If Emperor Kars had not been such a dangerous man, the Orients would not have even considered an alliance with the Kingdom of Ledon.

“Where is Count Lika? ”

“We are waiting in a reception room and have requested an audience with His Majesty. ”

“What about the ligand baron? ”

“I'm resting to see if I'm tired. ”

“That ought to do it. I couldn't rest until I went back and forth to the border area……. Then I'll give him plenty of time to rest. I'll allow you to meet him in three hours. Until then, keep your mouth shut so that nothing worthless can get into Earl Ricardo's ears. ”

In other words, Earl Ricardo had to be unaware of Caroc's marriage until the moment he arrived at the negotiating table.

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Duke Duron smiles and replies.

And three hours later, King Erik allowed Earl Ricardo to meet him.

“Meet the great ruler of Leaden, the head of the royal family, and the king of Erik Leaden. I am Earl Dan Ricardo, an emissary of His Majesty's will. ”

Earl Lika also greeted him with a respectful greeting.

King Erik nods.

“Welcome, Earl Ricardo. What is King Orion trying to convey to Jim? ”

“Your Majesty is pleased to work closely with you to gain strength against the Horn Empire. ”

“Does that mean alliance? ”

“That's right.”

“That's exactly what Jim wanted. ”

King Erik smiles.

It was going exactly as Caroc said.

Earl Ricciado had not heard that Caroc had already married two wives and had become "The Bird of Ligand." That's how he speaks of his alliance, thinking he can take Caroc back to the Orient Kingdom.

“Good. Then we won't have to wait. Let's discuss the details soon. ”

“You're decisive. ”

Earl Liedo was satisfied with King Erik's delightful reaction.

Seeing this, King Erik had to work hard to resist the laughter. That face is going to be embarrassed. Isn't it fun?

* * *

Caroc and his two wives Julia and Sis were staying in accommodations assigned to the royal palace. Julia and Sis had to stay in the palace because Caroc had to do something else for the royal family.

Julia had a lot of work to do as president of the Caroc Weapons Shop, but this time she decided to just take a vacation and play here.

There was a reason I didn't want to go back alone, and I wanted to play in the palace when I had the chance. How many more chances do you have to step into the royal palace where the royal family lives?

“Sis.”

Julia calls cis.

“Wake the shorty up, it's almost dinner time. You're hungry, too, right?”

“Yes.”

The sheath nods. If it was to eat, it was Sis who could not use the four-legged. Especially the dishes from the top royal chefs made her happy, so she waited for three meals every day.

Sis heads to the bedroom where Caroc sleeps.

When I opened the door and went inside, I saw Caroc sleeping on the bed.

Sis looks back at Caroc for a moment, trying to wake him up.

This man is my husband.

Seeing that, Sis's face turned red. Now I feel happy thinking that I can be together forever. There was no longer a lonely day when I lost my family and had to desperately practice magic in the Magic Guild.

This man who rescued himself from loneliness became very thankful and lovely.

Should I let him sleep a little bit more?

Sis, who thought that way, stopped waking up and dug into bed instead.

Fluffy, fluffy.

Inside Caroc, the sheath fits under the duvet. As I entered his arms, I felt warm body temperature. Caroc doesn't wake up tired from a lot of spiritual affinity.

I felt cozy and had a good sleep.

Sis closes her eyes and falls into a nap.

Meanwhile, Julia wonders as cis and caroc do not come out over time.

“I'm starving. What are you waiting for? Tonight's main dish is the lobster! ”

Julia opens the bedroom door wide and goes inside.

I see Sis sleeping in a tight-knit embrace. It really looked like a loving couple.

Jealousy pours in like waves.

“What, what?! Hey, cis! What the hell are you doing? That's cheating.”

Then Sis opened her eyes.

“… me, my wife. ”

“Profit! I'm a wife, too! You know who's gonna lose? ”

The lobster is out of my mind.

Julia jumped into bed. Then I dug in on the other side of Caroc and settled tight on his back.

I didn't like the way Caroc fell asleep looking at Sis. Julia grabs Carroc's shoulder and lets him lie down straight away. Then she makes one arm into a pillow. This also made the sheath a pallbearer of the opposite arm.

* * *

My arm is frozen and I woke up.

I opened my eyes and saw Sis and Julia sleeping in the same bed on either side. Both of them were lying competitively on their hands, one by one.

Somehow my arm hurts.

“Noum.”

- Yeah, Dad.

Norm reaches out his face from the ceiling. Cute thing, now it appears in a strange place.

“What time is it? ”

- Evening 6: 56: 16, 17, 18.

“Eek? Have you slept that long? I have to eat. ”

I want to fuck these cute wives all day, but I have to eat and negotiate quickly.

Ugh...

It's going to get busier in the future. I want to play at home with cis and julia. I don't want to work!

Anyway, I decided to wake the two of you up, and I kissed her on the cheek first.

“ ……. ”

Sis scratched her cheeks and gave me more. It was so cute that I wanted to hug her, but I decided to endure it. There's a good way to wake up the sheath.

I whispered in his ear.

“Sis, let's eat. ”

“… Bob? ”

Sis opened her eyes in a flash. You woke up right away. Haha, you cute little insect.

It was Julia's turn to wake up.

“Julia, wake up. ”

“ ……. ”

“Get up?”

“ ……. ”

Julia wasn't even a little flustered. But I could see Julia's eyebrows twitching. He had already woken up and was pretending to be asleep. What's wrong with him?

You can't.

Like there was a good way to wake up Sis, there was also a good way to wake up Julia.

“Wounded.”

-Yeah.

After reading my mind, Woundee made a huge wad of water and sent it straight to Julia.

Aaaaah!

“Hiya!”

The chunk of water moves as if it were alive, washing Julia. Beating and shaking... It was more appropriate to say that they were doing laundry. When the laundry was finished, I took all the moisture from my wet body and clothes.

Julia is furious at me, staring at me.

“What are you doing? ”

“You're awake. Why are you pretending to be asleep? ”

“Why are you waking me up like this?! ”

“Then do you wake up when you ask me to eat with my ears? ”

“Not that! ”

Then what is it?

Aha!

I swirled and laughed and kissed Julia's lips. The moist lips felt good.

“Bar, bar, let's go eat. ”

She barely says a word, and crawls out of the bed.

Just after finishing my meal, I got a page from King Eric.

I took a deep breath and told Sis and Julia.

“I'm going to negotiate an alliance with the Lion of the Orient Kingdom. Don't fight. Play well. ”

“Oh my God, can I say something as light as a person taking a short walk? ”

“I'm such a big bowl, I need to be nice to him. ”

“Hohoho, go. ”

Julia kisses me on the cheek. Now I know I can be quite charming. I couldn't leave until the sheath saw it slip away and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

I don't think so.

We need to stabilize this country and retire as soon as possible. I want to play with my wives at home. If you get bored, you can have lots of kids and raise them. Julia and Sis go out and work, and I take care of the kids at home, which is great, right? If you apply animosity, it's housework. It's cold soup.

My imagination unfolded endlessly because I had a sweet thought. No, no, no, no. At this rate, you're gonna want to resign right now. That way, Earl Duron will strangle me.

I wandered to the royal palace.
