'Sleeping together? Nope.', As I thought and get out of the bed. I could see Arlette sleeping face. She looked happy but her eyes and nose still red after crying so much. She really a beauty, with her blue hair and blueish-green eyes. Putting it behind my mind.
I move to the sofa in the room and sleep there. The sofa is not that hard, to be honest. I just need a place to sleep. Tomorrow, I need to go back home not to make others worried. then I doze off on the couch.
The morning came and I being woken up by the sound of knocking the door. The maid knocks the door "Arthur-sama, The breakfast is ready.".
I woke up then stand up. I looked around and found no one in the room. It seems that Arlette's already wake up and cover me with a blanket.
I open up the door, the maid gave a slight bow. "Then can you show me the room for me to eat?" I said for her to lead me but looked like she surprised a little about something.
Inside the room, only Leon and Edlyn inside. They seem to be waiting for me. "Good morning, your majesty, my queen. Pardon me for my behavior yesterday.".
" Ara~ You change so quickly. What about you, dear?" Edlyn said smiling at me. Leon startled a little being called and smile wryly "Yeah, I made a mistake too. Sorry about yesterday. Take a seat. We need a lot of talking."
I already expect another talk. I take a seat at the side table alone and we began eating "Then, what are we talking about?". I open the conversation.
" It's about your marriage." Leon said while his lips twitching to say it. "I still haven't accepted yet." I said quickly. "Still, if you accept. We having trouble whether to announce you as one of the heroes or not. By being one of the heroes, the other noble won't question your strength but another kingdom would ask for a hero to form a marriage with their descendants. Still, if you're not a hero, you need to contribute to the country to show the noble what you can do." Leon explains the situation.
"So, you're saying. The easy way is to deny the marriage and I will disappear slowly?" I said while glancing at him. "Ufufu~ It's the opposite. Since Arlette had no issue about you to take another wife. We want you to be the marriage candidate for another kingdom."
I got my food stuck because of the surprise "*cough* *cough* I haven't even accept your daughter, what made you think I will accept the other.". Edlyn quickly cut me by saying " It's still better then you had to fight your friend on the battlefield."
"But it can still be postponed right?" I said while thinking a way out. Edlyn then nods "Yes, at least until you accept Arlette and you could meet them when you go to their kingdom for the marriage."
"Then, I have no problem. It still in the long run. I had a long time to think about." I said relieved. Leon then continues "Another thing to say, we already caught some monster, beast, also criminal. I don't know if the hero had accustomed to killing. So, do you mind coming to the experiment?"
I shrugged my shoulder "I don't mind at all but I do it in my own way. Don't get in my way. Then where's the other hero?". Leon then answers " For sometimes they will training here with my Royal guard in the training field, Arlette also there to teach them some magic."
"Why don't you join them, Arthur? Arlette got some stares from your friends." Edlyn said teasing me. "I need to go to someplace first. I don't even know how many times I had been missing." I said to both of them.
Leon and Edlyn look at each other and nod "It's been taken care of. They should be arriving by now.". I raised my eyebrows "They?"
Then a soldier knocks the door. Leon let him in, so he get inside and kneel "My liege, the guest has arrived.". Leon then kept his stature "Let them in!"
Then George, Aine, Kieth, Lynna, and also Elise get inside. "Why the guild master?" I subconsciously ask when looking at Kieth.
"Ah! Kieth, it's been a long time. Are they his family?" Leon said and walk to him. "Ara~ Lynna, long time no see. Is that you dau..."
Before she finished, Elise already runs to me and tackle me "You are save *Sniff*, I thought you were gone.". George and Aine looked at each other, there's relief on their face.
I pat Elise's head "Yeah, sorry to make you worried. I'm fine." then I looked at George and Aine "Also to you two. I'm sorry to make you worry."
"It's okay, Arthur. That girl even more worried about you than both of us." George said. Edlyn interrupts us "Ara~ Little Elise, it's been a long time. You had become more beautiful now. Seems like Arthur is popular to catch your attention."
Elise blushed and nod shyly. "Good Morning, Aunt Queen.". " Wait!!!" I shout getting their attention. "Mind explaining to me what's going on?" I said but before that of course. Out of nowhere, Arlette hugs me too.
"Dear... You wake up." Arlette also hugging me. Edlyn then coughs and glare at Arlette. Arlette looked around and turn 180 degrees "Welcome, everyone to the palace. I'm Arlette Galeran, nice to meet you." She smiles sweetly.
'Too late.' I thought looking at her. Then Leon starts to tell his story. So, in short, the four of them used to be in one party before Leon had to ascend the throne with Edlyn and Kieth become the guild leader. Their last meeting was when both of the family had a child.
The reason for calling George and Aine to the palace is because they're the hero's family and would be moving to a different living environment. A safe place close to where I would live.
Kieth brought my adventurer card which now Rank E for catching the criminal. Whether I continue to live as an adventurer still on a discussion.
With Arlette arrive here which means the morning training session of all the hero is done. We all went to the separate training ground, follow by Yatanagi, Kataraki, Takeru, Rime, and Iseri.
The 5 of them become representative of the class. Leon calls them "Hero, How the room?". Yatanagi as the class president answers the question "It more than suffice, your Majesty."
"We will start to test the hero power." Leon said. Then Yatanagi adds some "Before that, It seems if we train. We got experience too. But so little, with morning practice we only got 1 EXP."
"That's good news. Did your status increase?" Leon asks since people here training to increase the status. "No, Sadly no. It's still the same."
"We had prepared some beast to kill. To check what you said yesterday. Please Follow me." Leon then leads them.
In the training field, there's a different cage. Normal cattle, monster, and prisoner. At first, the 5 of them shocked looking at the prisoner. "Is this okay, your Majesty? we never ask for a prisoner."
"We only want to know. It's okay they're in charge of heavy crime." Leon said. Then Elise moves from Lynna toward me and pulls my clothes. Her parents, Edlyn, also Arlette notice this. "Arthur, please."
I turn my head and smile "It's okay, Elise.". She only nods but kept standing behind me. Rime volunteering on the cattle and monster, since they're on the cage. Kill them is easy. When she kills the cattle and check the status, she shakes her head.
Continue she kill the monster, then she went back to us " The horned rabbit give us 10 EXP but to level up we need 1000."."Hmm... then the faster way is to kill a monster." Yatanagi said.
When it comes to the prisoner, everyone pale. Surprise the one that volunteering is Iseri the calm beauty of the class. She walks slowly, the prisoner starts laughing, they taunt Iseri. Even inside the cage, he can still intimidate someone.
"Oh, look at small beauty come to kill me. Hehehe... It's been a long time since I taste a young girl like you. Come close, yes. That's it come here. Let me have a taste." The prisoner starts taunting. Iseri froze and stood still.
Leon then eases Iseri "It's okay, hero. You don't need to.". I sigh and walk to Iseri "Go back, let me handle this one." I said to her and let a smirk on my face. Iseri shudders and drops to the ground. Arlette and Elise looked at each other and about to run before their mother hold them.
"You girls, what agitated both of you?" Edlyn then asks both of them. Arlette answers her "I.. I don't know. but when he moved closer. I just felt that we're being more and more far apart.". Elise follows up "He became colder than before. He looked like someone else.". Both mother then stares to me that walks closer to the prisoner.
" Heehehehe... Now it's a pretty boy. I don't mind at all. Come here." But then I show my face to him with a smiling face. "Hey... How much is your victim again? Hehe.." I crouch to look at his face.
"Hoo... Why stop talking?" I start leaking my killing intent. "You want to taste meat? Want me to help with it?" I send a wind slash cutting his foot.
"Now, eat it." I said to him. He even forgot to yell in pain. He crawls to the back cage. "You don't like it raw? Let me burn it for you." I snap my finger and burn the foot.
The prisoner shrieked and keep crawling. "Oi.. oi.. Don't be shy. Come here."I tore the cage with magic." Then Leon, Kieth, and George the three of them hold me on the shoulders and head. "Stop it, boy. You went too far.".
"I said it, I do it my way." I said to Leon. "Yes, if no one affected, I would let you but look behind us." Kieth said. Elise and Arlette already crying, my classmates still helping Iseri so they haven't seen anything. "Tch, fine." I cut his head off.
"Status. Hoo... Interesting."

Hearing I said that, Leon ask me "What? What did you get?". "I got the experience, how strong is that guy?" I ask Leon.
"He's not that strong. Only slippery to catch." Leon said and Kieth follows up "Yeah, he still not in the wanted list.".
"I got 120 EXP but with my blessing, it's 1200 so I level up," I said to him. "Then is it powerful to level up?" Leon ask.
"Yes, the level should be like a multiplier for status. So with each level, they gain as much as their status. So, if you had 100 when level 2 become 200 and maybe, only speculation on level 3 it becomes 300. As for skill points, it should be taking the highest number of basic status, maybe. You should ask them when they level up." I explain but still not concrete prove.
"Right, we need more time. Let's get back inside and you need something to do about them." Leon said while pointing at Elise and Arlette. George also said to me "Aine, pretty worried you know. It just didn't show on her face."
I sigh and nod at them "I'm sorry okay, I can't help it. This is also the reason I don't want to get too attached to people." Leon just laughs "Hahahaha... Don't worry. I will place you in a safe place."
We walk back. My classmates look at the cage and horrified. I pass my classmates "You better get used to it." Only Iseri and Rime made a determined face. 'Is it really true that women more used to blood?' I thought.
Before I get to looked away from my classmates. Elise and Arlette already tackle me down. I could hold 1 tackle but 2 made me lose some balance. "Aw!! What both of you doing?" I said holding my head. "You promise me!!" "Don't do it again." Both of them said to me while sobbing.
"Right, I'm sorry. Just force of habit. Stop crying you two, cry babies." I said and scold them. "I don't care if it's for you." Both of them said the same thing more or less.
They keep looking at me, even when lunch. Their parents still talking. George and Aine accept the place from Leon as a way to not get in my way for made me worry for them.
Elise and Arlette become friends, Elise asks their parents to stay with me. I got death glare by Kieth the same as Leon but He got a glare from his wife and reluctantly agree.
I turn the situation to let Elise and Arlette sleep together and that's the way I got my own room. Since now I'm gonna train with the heroes until the ceremony wherefrom the plan the hero will be separated into a different kingdom.
I stay here of course, and I can continue my everyday life until I'm needed. So when the heroes study at their respective kingdom's academy. I can take life easy and when I'm being sens to Suntalia. I will get my revenge.
