"Stop it!"
A middle-aged man appeared and tried to stop me. This makes it easier for me so, I don't have to bother looking for him, I asked him.
"Where's Asahi...."
I unconsciously gave off a huge aura, I don't know what it was, but it seemed to come out when my emotions got out of control.
"Keuk!"
The people around me started to fall to their knees as if they were suffocating and couldn't breathe.
"W-W—Urgh!"
I guess the pressure I gave off made him speechless, so I eased my anger, but just looking at his face made me emotional.
"Speak..."
"Your friend, it's fine"
While kneeling on the ground the mage said that his breath gasping for air due to my pressure.
"Bring her to me"
Once again I release aura pressure, I call it Killing Intense, but this time I can control it.
"Urgh, please listen for a moment. His Majesty the King wishes to speak to you"
Troublesome, but I shouldn't be careless, I still don't know Asahi's current condition, so I decided to go along with his will.
"Okay, take me to him"
"Follow me"
I entered the Palace, some of the knights and maids trembled in fear as I passed them, why? It's obvious because I can't calm down. After all, Asahi is still their hostage.
"Your Majesty, I brought the person"
We stopped in front of the big door, "The person?" it seemed they had predicted I would be here. We entered the king's dining room.
"I am Clyde Von Lunaria, King of the kingdom of Lunaria"
Ohh, look at this, interesting. I can feel the charisma he has, even though he's a King, he only eats food that isn't worthy of someone like him, he's a king heyyy, and you only eat hard bread and soup?
By the way, judging from his appearance he's in his 35s I guess, but I'm sure he's a great person, then why is he using cowardly means like taking hostage? however, I told my name.
"I'm Ina, Ina-Yamaguchi the successor of the Yakuza Clan"
"Yakuza?"
What? why did I say it? I suddenly said that I was a successor of the Yakuza clan, well he wouldn't understand either, it just came out of my mouth.
"Ahh It's nothing, so what do you want to talk to me about"
The atmosphere changed, the King put down his cutlery and became serious.
"Can you return the Dragon Heart you took"
Ahh of course he would want to make a deal, swapping the dragon heart with Asahi, makes sense, but if I say I don't have it, then the deal will be void it's likely that Asahi will be killed.
"Prove to me that my friend Asahi is fine"
The king looked at the witch and nodded.
"Bring the girl"
Sometime later, someone came. It was Asahi in majestic clothes, she was like a princess. Of course, when she saw me, she ran to me and grabbed my hand.
"Ina-chan, thank goodness you're okay"
"Asahi what are you-"
"Relax, they are good people, they treat me very well, don't think of them as enemies"
What happened?
"So may I see the Dragon Heart?"
The King began to speak. Damn, I don't have it. The Dragon's Heart is now in my body, what if I say so?
The goal of kidnapping Asahi was to exchange it for a dragon heart, the problem is I don't have it anymore. In the worst case, the deal will be canceled and blood will be spilled.
"I do not have it"
The king and mage in front of me were surprised to hear that.
"What do you mean?!"
I told what happened to the dragon's heart, how the dragon's heart got to my body now.
After hearing that the King sighed in disappointment, he wasn't angry? Of course, I apologized then, and the King accepted my apology graciously.
"Dragon Heart is a National level item...it can't be world-level, Dragon Heart can produce Mana continuously indefinitely.
With the dragon heart, we plan to use it to make mythic-grade weapons. Our plan is to fight and take back the territory of the kingdom of Lunaria.
We lost 80% of the Kingdom's Territory during the war with the Cornell Empire....but I can't seem to achieve that, Damn! My people...But we have to find another way to resurrect our kingdom*
Corneall, is the largest kingdom in this world, the Kingdom that is in the Northern region. Well, I don't know about the royal conflict that happened. Asahi was quite interested in that.
"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion"
The mage if I'm not mistaken his name is Gale, he whispered something to the King.
"Okay, I understand"
The King glanced at me.
"Miss, Ina. You have killed several of our troops and one of our best knights, it's a pity, but the massacre you committed was his fault so..."
Why is he talking about that?
"Will you take his place, We need your help, to seize the territory of our kingdom, seize our people!"
"Your Majesty you don't have to..."
The king lowered his head slightly, he shouldn't have done that right? he was truly humble for a King. In that case, okay.
"Okay, I accept the offer"
The king is standing in front of me.
"Miss Ina, bow your body"
Hah? I looked at Asahi, She replied with a nod. like saying "just do it", So I did have to do it.
He pulled out his sword, did he want to behead me?! no, I don't feel any killing intent. The king put the sword on my shoulder.
"I, Clyde Von Lunaria, will bestow the title of Baron on Ina-Yamaguchi, Do your best to fulfill your duty"
Baron title? what's that?
"In that case, I Ina-Yamaguchi will obey the King's orders"
After that, I stayed at the Madison which is near the Palace. It was huge for Asahi and me.
"It's big enough for 2 people to live in, it will be difficult to clean it"
Asahi laughed, why? oh, what's so funny?
"You're a Baron now that's the lowest peerage, but there isn't anyone who has a peerage under the age of 30, other nobles might be surprised to see a teenage girl holding a Baron's title
And for that, His Majesty has employed several maids in the Madison, so you don't have to worry about cleanliness
"Your Majesty? It seems that you are familiar with that person"
"What are you jealous of?"
"What!?"
I quickly responded to her words, it's the thing that does, why is my face red? what reaction is this??! Ahh no, I made an embarrassing reaction.
"I'm just kidding, after all, he is our King now isn't he?"
"Oh yes, you're right"
As we opened the Manison's entrance, 6 girls in maid clothes greeted us, and they were wearing....accessories?
Some use cat ears, horns, tails, and Woah! the girl who uses fox ears has a big mountain, it's 2x bigger than her assistant Killa (Vina).
"Why are you guys using accessories?"
"Those aren't accessories, they're real. They're a demi-human race"
Yup, Asahi is bullying me again with the knowledge she has about another world, another world huh.. whatever.
They started to introduce themselves.
"I'm Abigail of the Cat Human Race, this is Soraka of the Minotaur Race, Kronny of the Fox Race, Senna and Saunna of the tiger race, and Dhea the dwarf race"
Abigail A cat race with silver hair is the leader of the maids who will help take care of Madison.
Minotaur race Soraka is almost 2 meters tall, maybe that's a normal size for her race?
Kronny of the Fox Race, she is like a predator, a grown woman who likes to tease children, and the assets that she possesses….. Alright next!
Senna and Saunna are twins, like my 8-year-old cousin wearing a maid outfit, it's so cute.
Dhea is a dwarf race, she looks strong, I can see the abs formed from her clothes, and her body size is the same as Asahi's.
Alright enough, I want to rest.
"All of you, please cooperate!"
"Yes Ma'am!"
