Chereads / Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army / Chapter 275 - Sending off

Chapter 275 - Sending off

Come next morning, Yunan sent away his guests back to their homes, he took the chance to appear in public with Reina and accept the good will of the public, something that caught the eyes of many tourists was the fact that Yunan was walking the streets like he was just another commoner, and the common folk did not care much about him, those who crossed paths with him gave him their blessings for the wedding the rest just walked like he was not even there.

Yunan was a good king to the population of the Twilight Pearl Kingdom, in the past decade or so he managed to keep the kingdom running like it did before, he even expanded its trade, increased security and made life a bit more happy for the citizens, and even his marriage did nothing to disrupt the life of the kingdom, the capitol itself felt nothing if it was not for the extravagant convoys asking for directions to the bright palace.

To the public, Yunan and his wife were just like them, there was only difference in where they lived and what they did for a job, her being a kind and elegant beautiful fox did help tremendously with her popularity, even if it was known that the king had at least 3 more wives, since she was the one appointed Queen many were happy about it, as for a king with a harem of only 4 or 5, Yunan was praised for being loyal and picky about who he chose to be beside him, especially for a guy his age, 30 something and nothing like what most kings are.

When returning home Yunan was faced with a surprise, his girls had decided to retire from the life adventurers and focus on being trophy wives, they would become his public face in the Pearl, spend his money on anything they liked and represent him in diplomatic relations. The reason they gave was that they being dungeon explorers was not the most lady like thing to do, and it was not a good place to have children, yes, Mito and Theresa had been asking for a grandchild and the thought might have seeped too deep in the minds of the girls.

Yunan accepted this new decision, like always, he never questioned or argued with what they decided to do, as for having children, it was not that Yunan was actively taking prevention measures, he too disregarded the fact both he and his wives were dungeon explorers and forgot about the usual precautions. This idea of having children meant only one thing for Yunan, there would be too much passion in his life in the next few years, and too many sleepless nights looming over the horizon.

The other pleasant surprise was that Hephaestus gave Yunan the right to a solitary month in the 80s, to experience how most talented adventurers feel when they were taken to higher floor, except Yunan had the ability to return back to the 50s after the month was over, Hephaestus was rather happy after the amount of good tea he chugged in the wedding party, that and he wasn't really against doing that for other explorers, no one had asked before thus he never had to do it for them, meanwhile Black Fate was having seizures at the idea and the absurdity of it, even using the genie of the house as its voice to speak out its counter argument and trying to prevent such a massive rule breaking.

It was in vain, all it did was get Hephaestus more into it, simply because Hephaestus was not the kind to break his own rules, and telling someone that they should not break a rule they put themselves into practice, is nothing but telling them to go ahead and make a point of breaking it.

All in all, Yunan gained the married status, he also gained a one month where he could travel to any floor in the Dungeon except the last one, and a group of trophy wives aiming to have his children, not a bad thing at all, as for the expenses he paid for the wedding and what not, well, it was worth it, what in the world was equivalent to the happy faces and smiles of his own family and friends, to Yunan there was none.

The first to leave the house were Fortuna and Hephaestus, God paperwork was piling up and neither of them had any dedicated priesthood or religion that they can dump some of the paperwork on, when the girls offered to help out, both of them just smiled and said nothing, offering to help a god you do not worship was not the biggest insult but it was nonetheless in poor taste, the girls offered to help simply because they thought one was their friend and the other was the love rival, they had stopped treating the two as deities since the second or third time they met them. It was for that reason that neither Fortuna nor Hephaestus felt wronged by the offer, as well as the reason they could really relax and just have fun, godhood was not what got them in this family and it certainly did not affect how they were treated.

After Hephaestus and Fortuna left for their jobs, barber Robert and madam Grace were invited to set up shop in the bright palace, with their skills, they would get so much work they would not feel a dull moment for years to come, but both declined, they chose to return to their retirement. Yunan asked since they were retired why not seek out other craftsmen with the same level of skill and set up an academy or something, he even offered to fund the academy himself, but the two of them just shrugged it off, they would not do more than just work occasionally and rest their old bones.

After sending those two it was time for the problem couple, Mito and Hana, one was the official empress, the other was the acting empress and the favourite girl of their husband, they did not get along well mostly because Mito was not focused on her status and liked to showcase her own achievements as her identity, even if most of those got credited to Hoshi and not herself. Hana, on the other hand, liked to show off her bloodline and her superior status in the ruling family, she was the empress and all had to bow to her, and she carried that air around her even outside the sun islands where she is effectively a peasant.

Hoshi had long ago washed his hands from this war, he really was not willing to get between the two of them, one was too rigid to reason with and the other was too smart for reasoning, the best he could do was to limit the scope of their quarrelling to only the two of them, making sure it would not affect the royal family nor the sun islands. Those two were sent away while huffing and puffing at each other, while Hoshi was sighing and accepting comforting looks from Dustan and Balin.
