The Cave King will live a Paradise Life -Becoming the strongest with the mining skill?-

The sound of a bell that can reward you for coming sailing that you should have heard many times already.

But it's something I'm not used to hearing over and over again.

What the hell, who came this time?

A ship of kingdom, or another human ship, or a ship of demons…

In any case, we have to be cautious.

As soon as the trolley got to the ground, I looked out over the ocean that spread right in front of me.

Then the ship is indeed floating.

The ship is a relatively small sailboat, called Schooner.

The warehouse is not that big, but it is popular with small, less wealthy merchants.

"A trade ship...?

As I observe the ship, Riena will come.

"Dear Heels! We're already ready to attack. How do you like it?

"Right... but that doesn't sound like a warship"

Navy will also be used for reconnaissance and liaison, but not much to attack somewhere.

Plus, one ship.

"That's what Mr. Camus said, and he said he was going to wait for Mr. Heels' instructions. General, we are all preparing to intercept at the wharf."

Riena was right, the island's defense forces were already in place.

I can sink that ship in a barista without having to use magic.

"I can't complain about a ship not flying a flag being sunk without question as a pirate ship..."

For once, this is the territorial sea of the kingdom.

It is strange that the ships of the kingdom do not fly the flag on purpose.

If so, are you still a pirate?

No, it's possible that the Royal Navy sent you to look into this island.

"But it's really a trade ship, maybe I lost my flag for some reason...... yeah?

If you look closely, a white flag is waving from the ship.

"You mean no hostility... let's just try to talk"

In the meantime, I've decided to send an inspection ship.

Send Camus, Barris and Haines, who are familiar with the ship, to the inspection.

If one of the ships attacked me, I would be able to escape with the magic of Camus and Barris.

Camus is familiar with the ship, and Haines can sniff out anything obscure.

Waiting at the wharf for a while then, Barris returned with his own wings one foot away.

Barris kneels in front of me when he lands.

"Barris, how'd it go?

"They were human. I've done this before, Duchy of Barleon. They say he's a merchant in the country."

"Principality..."

Then why hasn't the flag of the Principality been flown?

Even though Lord Barleon was arrested, the country itself should still be there.

I do not know whether the Principality will bow to or resist the Kingdom, but in any case there should be no reason why it should not fly the flag.

The only thing I can think of is that I don't want to be found on a Kingdom ship for any reason... or so.

"... Did you say why you came here?

"That's... he wants to see His Majesty"

"... ask me."

You know me...... and even to be on this island.

Did one of my brothers send a use for it? But who gave me something...

"Yes... I've already asked that person to wait in the boat"

Barris turned to the sea.

Then a boat for an immediate inspection was coming right back from the ship in the Principality.

There is also a human on board with a wide hat with deep eyes.

To see the dress, it would be an aristocratic woman.

"... what's your name?

"It must be revealed that it is not before His Majesty."

"... ok. I'll see you."

The presence of this island is already bright.

On the face of it, you won't have to hide that I'm the representative.

Barris answered me, "Yes, I did," and I headed for the boat.

Eventually, when the boat lands at the pier, the woman in the hat lands from there.

I stood at the pier to welcome it.

Women stand before me like that.

Who the hell are you... Ah.

The woman who took the hat was someone I knew.

I hadn't seen her in a long time, but I quickly understood who this silver-haired woman was.

"... Leila"

"Heels. Long time no see."

Layla...... make me Lord Barleon, my ex-fiancée.

When Camus returned, it was a woman who was allegedly missing.

"How could you... be here?

Leila answers softly.

"What, it's nothing good. You need a reason for me to go somewhere?

"Well, that's true... but what's going on with you, Father?"

"I know. That's why I ran away. You know my ambitions, don't you?

Originally, Leila had ambitions.

- It's about reviving the Empire yourself.

It's not like I want to be an emperor or reproduce the biggest prints I once had.

He dreamed of the golden age of the Barleon Empire, where all races were supposedly working hand in hand.

Having been asked such ambitions, I thought it would be impossible, even though I thought it was wonderful.

But I'm pretty sure this ambition of hers is influencing that I didn't hate demons.

"In the first place, when I heard you were banished here, I sent a boat with half my interest..."

"Well, that ship that came before..."

A Duchy ship that previously appeared offshore.

Was that what Layla dispatched?

Nevertheless, would you send the ship with half the interest...... to send the ship, you need to pay the sailors a lot of money. I'm sending it to a place like this, so it must have been expensive.

"I sent it. But when they saw the giant trees and the demons, and the humans who looked like wharves, they returned once. Because Cheol, which is supposed to be just a rock reef, is what's happening. I'd definitely like to see a place like that."

Leila glanced over at the world tree.

"Ha ha... right"

Indeed, it would be a sight not to be seen on the continent.

Of course you want to sightsee, from Leila, it would have seemed like the ideal island.

"... but speaking of which, visit me"

"Well, that's... I just thought we'd be quick to talk"

Leila was stuck in words for a moment, but immediately gave it back.

Originally, you might have sent me a boat to help me...

Leila is a sweet girl. Kind of a ass though.

"Thanks...... Leila"

"Beh, I can't thank you enough... I'm more surprised than that."

"Is this island or am I alive? Well, me too..."

"No, that's also surprising... because I didn't think you would flip the anti-flag against that king of San Phares"

"Huh? Yes, no, I'm not going to argue..."

If you knew you lived with demons, you would think that the Fathers did indeed flip the anti-flag.

But I don't want to fight.

I just need to live in peace.

But Layla continued happily.

"... you're trying to embody my ideals, aren't you? Then I'll work with you."

Layla opens the chest that the goblins have unloaded from the boat.

There, it was like I saw it in the basement earlier.

Crown and crown.

But this belongs to the Principality, which was originally the Burleon Empire.

Precisely, it would be better to have an emperor crown and an emperor.

"The artifact of the Barleon Empire. If you're going to name an emperor, you need some authenticity. This should bring you authenticity."

"Ma, wait! I can't believe I'm going to call myself Emperor!

Leila turned her eyes round.

"Huh?... but just now Barris there called you Emperor Sire"

"So, Barris?

I immediately turned to Barris, who stood next to me.

Then Barris looks strange.

"... Barris, the joke is tough"

"Ha... never made a joke or anything like that. Haven't we decided to take Lord Heel as Emperor, the Cheol Empire?"

"... Huh?

When did I say that?

In his sleep, he said, "I'm an emperor from today on!" How dare you get out of my mouth?

But Barris returned it with a serious face.

"The princess is the princess of our Berdan tribe, and Lil is also the princess of the Tiberis tribe. None of them, no other heirs, already like kings. Haven't you come to the conclusion that Lord Heel, standing on top of it, is no good in a king..."

I remember having a meeting with Barris and the others about what to do with this island.

Everybody, when I said I didn't like kings, it was a really weird reaction.

You think it's inappropriate or rude for me to be king in relation to up and down?

I thought that's what you said about my relationship with my father...

But me and everyone seemed to think differently.

I don't deserve a king. That's not a good idea to equate with Riena or Lil, who are kings. So, the emperor on it...

"Barris...... I didn't mean to say that. I tried to say that this island is all equal and that the republic is worthy."

"Hey, my God... I'm sorry. I didn't know that was your idea...... Ha!! Suppose…"

Barris looks pale.

"What's up, Barris?

"The Parent Book previously entrusted to Lord Berphalt to the Kingdom of the Dragon..."

"No way, on that one..."

When the Parent Book is given to the Dragon Kingdom...... No, in the first place, Belfalto will brighten up the matter of this island to those of his hometown, the Republic of Amoris.

What a country this island is and who the monarch of that country is.

"Yes. Cheol Emperor Heel, from..."

I would have collapsed on the spot.
