The door opened, and the king walked inside the room wearing a crown on his head, and Riyo stood and stepped forward. On the left and right, there were people who seemed to be nobles and knights in the back. Of course, Jake, my father, was stood up as well.
[Your Majesty] Jake bows to the king with respect.
[Hmm... Raise your head.]
[Thank you. Your majesty.]
His Majesty's voice can be heard from our front. He was even tall enough that it was hard to see him in front of us, and then he walked and sat down on a soft sofa, and beside him was a man wearing a noble suit who looked his age, was in his thirties, and had white long hair.
And then, while the king was sitting down on the sofa, he stared at Riyo and smiled at him.
[So...Are you the one called Riyo?]
His Majesty looked imposing on the sofa, adjourned in his royal clothing. He looked like he was in his thirties or older, and he had a well-defined body and long white hair, and he also had a white beard on his chin.
"Yes. My name was Riyo Hanes. I was a son of the Baron Hanes family. My father was Jake Hanes, and my mother's name was Jane Hanes." He bow while saying to him.
Riyo he tried to check the status of the king but when he see it...

Riyo he was suprised when he see the ability of the king and then he just off the status.
Huh? Is he a dragon slayer and a goblin slayer? He was also Master of the Swordsman. This king of the Zeula Kingdom was definitely something. His strength and mana are also unknown. he mumbled to himself.
[Minister Alfred. What do you think of him?]
From the side of the king, a black-haired person, around his thirties, It seemed like he was the minister of the king.
[My apologise, but you will be the one who decides for him. Your Majesty.] Alfred nodded while saying.
I can hear them. But I wonder what they are planning to do to me?
Riyo he mumbled to himself and the a suddenly voice again appeared on his mind.
H-Huh? You again? Why the hell are you back?
< Permission Granted: I'm your new guide and servant from now on, and I can assist you with anything you need. Please accept my apologies for my late arrival and for not assisting you from the Orc king.>|
Huh? Are you watching me for the wall time? right?... Anyway let's talk later.
Riyo? Are you listening? My father suddenly called me. And I look at him and nodded.
"Yes. Father."
[This time, the Royal Princess Alice von Kevakez was attacked by the Dweezil family, and they abducted the royal princess, but our several knights and the leader of the royal knights, Christ, witnessed and saw who saved the royal princess. And his name was Riyo. ]
While holding a piece of paper, the minister stated And the other nobles in the royal room, who were busy chatting with each other, were stunned by the news.
[At that time, the commander of royal knights, Christ, tells us what happened in the Demon Forest, where he witnessed and saw that Riyo Hanes, from the Baron family, saved the royal princess and subjugated the Orc king by himself. And the Royal Knights escorted the royal princess back to the Zeula capital.]
The Minister of Kingdom Zeula stated all of what happened in the demon forest and upon hearing that the Orc King, who ranked an A-Rank demon monster, was defeated alone by a 5 year old boy, the aristorcrats along the line buzzed like boar and the other aristorcats did not believe him.
[As a form of gratitude, His Majesty the King of the Zeula has decided to bestow on him a medal, and he will be called the Hero of the Zeula Kingdom, and give him a house and land.]
H-Huh? me? A hero of this kingdom? Did he give me a house and land? I can't accept this, but if I turn down his generous offer, he'll be humiliated in front of the aristocrats. He mumbled to himself.
Riyo had no choice but to accept his gift, and after that, he rose from the sofa and bowed to the king.
"I will glady accept. Your Majesty." (Riyo)
After the Riyo accepted the gift from the king, the king spoke out,
"Hmm... I'm glad, but I can see in your eyes that you don't want to my gratitude. I'm I right?"
Riyo was surprised and didn't raise his head while he was bowing to the king, because when he raised his head, he definitely became suspicious of the surrounding aristorcats and also of the king, who was in front of him.
And then, Riyo he suddenly spoke with a calm and normal voice.
"My apologies. But I don't understand what you are saying. Your Majesty."
And the king, while sitting on the sofa, smirked and suddenly laughed.
[Hahaha...It's only a joke. I know you are going to accept my gratitude. With Riyo Hanes from the Baron family, your deed is worthy of praise and you have even become a hero of the Kingdom of Zeula. Without you, something bad would have happened to my daughter, the royal princess. Also, I will give you another 15 gold coins.]
The aristocratic people made a noise again, and they even got louder. They were faced with the obvious fact that they were not going to accept the conditions of the king. Because that amazing gift would be given by a mere 5-year-old boy from the lowest rank.
One aristocrat move foward of the crowd and confronted, while his body is scared and trembling.
[Please wait, Your Majesty. Even if his deeds are worthy of a medal and he becomes a hero of the kingdom, at the age of five, he is still just a kid. And the gift you give to him is definitely a huge amount.]
And then Riyo uses his appraisal skills on the aristorcat man who first spoke to decline the gratitude of the king.
APPRAISAL|
A translucent glass appear in front of me and displaying the status of Ronold Dumbledore.

Position|
▪Dumbledore Viscount
▪Slave Merchant

Magic Mana| 7500|7500

▪Wind Magic
Huh? He only had two magic, and his position was that he had a title of slave merchant. He was hiding something, and that's why he would not agree, because he was jeolous of the gratitude of the king's giving to me.
Riyo he mumbled to himself and the king suddenly spoke.
[Viscount Dumbledore, Answer me... can you jump into the danger scene alone and defeat the Orc King?]
The King he questioned viscount dumbledore.
[N-No, Y-Your...Majesty. my apologise]
"Riyo Hanes is the first son in his family. He has a talent, and he is also the one who will inherit his father's title in the future. How can I let such amazing talent go unnoticed? This decision will not change.I will become his Zeula Kingdon hero." The King said while sitting down on sofa.
After that, His Majesty ended the rewarding and discussion with the royal family with those words. and they all left.
The only ones left are the king and minister, Riyo and his father.
[also Riyo. You need to wait in the royal hall. There's a person who truly wants to meet you.] (King)
May I ask who is he? Your Majesty? (Riyo)
[Well, it's my daughter...]
[I will be also attending. So... Don't do anything to my daughter, and also, we will talk about the details of your reward and the house contract that will be given to you.] (King)
Heh..his smile is something, and when he talks about his daughter to me, he becomes cold... What an overprotective father. Riyo mumbled to himself.
"I understood. Your Majesty." Riyo nodded to him.
◇ ◇ ◇
[Royal Hall]
While Riyo was waiting in the royal room, Riyo's father said, [ Hey, son. We are going to talk when we finish here about your future. I was surprised that you have now become a hero and are giving property as well. I never expected them to grant you such amazing gratitude. I'm half mad, but I'm very proud of you. Riyo.]
"Thank you, father."
After that, while the two people were talking, the door opened, and several people entered the room.
It was the king and his daughter, the royal princess Alice von Kevákez, and also the minister and a few knights.
The royal princess is looking to Riyo and gentle smiled at him.
The king sat down on the middle front and the royal princess was on the left.
[Well then, let's talk about your property and the land I'm giving to you.]
