Chapter 7 - Reward

After curing the queen Athan was brought to the guest room in which he was offered to rest for the night. After waking up in the morning he washed himself in the private bath in the room. He couldn't help but feel like he was in some five star hotel enjoying the life of rich person.

After preparing himself a maid came to his room asking him to follow her. He soon saw a room where everyone was staying. Judging from its structure could guess it was the throne room. Arriving in the throne room he could see the Arwen sitting next to the king in the throne. He was amazed seeing the wealth of the king, he could see the most of room was covered with gold and jewels. And almost all the people the room were wearing fancy cloths with beautiful designs and most noticeable thing was Arwen who looked completely different while wearing fancy cloths.

While they were traveling she wore cloths that suited for adventures. Even if she did looked beautiful the former was incomparable to the later. She wore white clothes with golden colored flower designed clothes which suited perfectly with her golden hair. As a virgin who didn't have any experience with women he couldn't help but lust a bit. While he was checking on Arwen he noticed the king looking at him as if a cheetah looking at a lonely deer, ready to attack any time he removes his guard.

He didn't know what to do if he angered the king. He knew he wouldn't do anything to him sense he cured his wife but getting in the bad terms with the king wouldn't be good so he diverted his look to the king.

King: You seem to be looking at my daughter with lust do you have any say in that.

Athan didn't thought the king will try to pressure him. Even if the king tried to pressure him he knew a man should never be dominated by others so he simply replied.

Athan: Please forgive me your highness, I as a man couldn't help but be amazed by the beauty of your daughter. Please forgive me if I offended you somehow.

King: You are being honest that's good but don't you think I might punish you for your action in worst case I might give an order to have you executed.

Athan: I don't think the king is such a cruel person who will just execute anyone who looks at his daughter.

King: I request you not to think of as some some saint. I have grown old seeing many wars and fights and I know that some people needs to be killed even if they haven't done anything severe.

Athan: Yes your highness but I don't think I am one of those persons.

King: I have only met you but I can tell you are not.

While they were talking Arwen was blushing a bit after knowing Athan was looking at her even if she did get a lot of lustily gazes from other people no one has ever dared to admit it. It was her first time seeing someone was brave enough to admit it and not only that but the person dared to admit it in front of her father who was the king. She thought Athan was a bit shameful but also she liked how he was honest about himself.

King: let it be for now. I heard from my daughter you cured my wife for reward. So tell me what do you want as long as it's not too much I can provide you with it.

Athan was going to ask for money but before he could the system gave him a notification.

[Host is suggested to to ask for training from the strongest person I think kingdom.]

Athan: 'hmm, that sound logical to ask for training from the strongest person in the kingdom but is there any need to do that sense I can just buy a martial manual from the shop can't I.'

[Even if host could buy the manuals from the shop it would be more proficient to learn some basics by himself. And also isn't it a wasteful to buy manuals when you can learn it yourself.]

Athan: 'I guess you are right.'

While he was talking with the system I his mind. He looked like he was thinking deeply to what he should request to others in the throne room. After a while Athan looked and the king and said.

Athan: I would like get the training from the strongest person in the kingdom and also I would like to get some money if possible.

King looked at him for a while and sighed.

King: Asking for training from the strongest person and asking for money don't you think you are being a bit greedy.

Athan: Your highness as a king you should know that if a person doesn't take advantage of other, he or she will only be used by others.

King: I guess you are right. As for your wish to train, you will be trained by Gualterio who is currently the strongest in the kingdom. And as for money I will grant you 30 platinum coins, even if it makes two wishes I will grant it sense you saved my daughter in her adventure.

King: For now you can stay in one of the royal guest house until you finish your training with Gualterio.

After getting out of the castle he was brought to a mansion which reminded him of the video of most beautiful houses in the world which he looked at youtube in his past life. He always envied others of having big mansions and could only dream of living in such mansion but he never thought he would get to live in one in his life.
