The Trevold Kingdom has been wiped out, and the City of Sheria has been secured. The remaining Trevold nobles will be stripped of all authority and replaced by the nobles of Lunaria.
Now that Lunaria has returned to being an empire, We are making a parade in Sheria to welcome the Emperor's arrival.
The townspeople became very happy with the return of the Emperor who once ruled in Sheria City, I also just found out that Sheria was the former Capital of the Lunaria Empire.
The Emperor reached Sheria, cheers, and shouts of joy filled the streets of the City.
"That's His Majesty the Emperor!"
"The man walking in front of him is Duke Orton!"
"His handsome face hasn't changed one bit"
"Woman, beside her…..is she the emperor's daughter? Their hair is similar"
Oi! Who said that? It's strange to see this kind of reaction after losing their King, but it's clear that the previous King treated his people badly.
After the parade was over the Emperor invite me to his room.
"You come?"
I entered his room, I saw the Emperor who was eating and Gale who was standing beside him.
"Ina-Yamaguchi has returned from carrying out his majesty's orders"
"Yeah good, thanks for your hard work, thanks to you I found back my long-lost appetite"
"...But it looks like what you eat hasn't changed"
The emperor only ate soup and a loaf of bread.
"Hahahaha! I will be a bad ruler if I boast, do you like serving people like that?"
"Of course not"
"That's right that's why I trust you"
The emperor put down the glass he was holding and stood up walking towards me.
"Ina, from now on your name is Ina Patricia"
"huh?"
What does it mean?
"And you're going to rank up too, it doesn't make sense that the country's strongest knight is still a Baron.
"Sorry, but I don't want my name to be changed"
"Well it doesn't matter, I just changed your surname you are free to accept it or not, when the rank of nobility rises, the King usually bestows the noble a castle"
You can change your clan that easily? what a strange habit, isn't it? The emperor took out a sword from its scabbard. It seems I understand the situation so I immediately kneel.
"I, Clyde Von Lunaria will make Ina-Yamaguchi a Duke, do your best to fulfill your duty"
"Ina-Yamaguchi will obey the emperor"
"You can go now"
After that, a banquet was held for Lunaria's victory, and various nobles from other kingdoms came. However I hate formal things like that, so I'll just come over to write my name and head out.
By the way, the emperor gave the territory of Capital Zelanus to me, so now I live in the Palace, with 6 Maids.
Anyways I gave up my position as commander of Shadow Phantom, so Duke Orton will return to lead them.
I rode a horse alone from Sheria to Zelanus, but on the way, I found one.
I found a girl who was helpless in the forest, her body was weak, even difficult to stand up so I approached.
She looks around 6 years old.
"Hang on! I will save you"
She fainted so I took her as fast as possible to Zelanus Palace, I met the Royal Doctor Sariel.
Sariel is both a Doctor and a healing magician, magic can heal wounds instantly but not with a disease, magic that can be used to heal illness is holy magic used by Saintess.
Since Sariel was not a Saintess working under the church, she studied medicine which complemented her abilities as a healer.
I immediately gave it to Sariel
"Check her out"
"Yes Your Majesty, [Health Analysis]"
Health analysis magic is used to check the state of a person's body.
"She's fine Your Majesty, she only had a few scratches and she body is running out of energy from not eating for a few days, she will recover quickly"
"glad to hear that "
I saw the girl's body move, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at me.
"Huh? Have you Wake U—"
Suddenly she moved to my neck and bite me, I was silent for a while because I didn't feel any killing intent, I felt my blood pouring out, it seems like she drank my blood, what kind of creature is she?
"Your Majesty! she is a Vampire! Her food is blood, looks like she sucked your blood!"
Since Sariel said that, I put her to sleep with [Finger Break]. Her body fainted again.
"Vampire? what is it?"
Sariel told me about the demon race called vampires.
Vampires are a race that has been wiped out Vampires are now believed to be just a myth, it's clear because vampires used to be a threat to humans.
Every night, vampires would kidnap a human and drink her blood, that was common knowledge.
So basically....is she dangerous? Sariel nodded when I asked that, but I don't care, I'm interested in this race called Vampire, so I decided, to take it under my protection.
I take care of her, she sleeps on the sofa while I will face the pile of papers on my desk.
By the way, Asahi is still in training with Charlotte so she won't be home for a few days, that makes me sad.
A few moments later the little girl woke up.
"Looks like you've woken up"
"Hmm...."
She walked up to me and tugged at my clothes.
"Mommy, Mommy!"
"Im Not your Mother"
"No! Mommy Is Mommy!" *start crying
Even though I said I wasn't her mother still crying and calling me Mommy, this really sucks , Abigail came in in a panic and saw what was happening.
"Master what happened—"
Abigail immediately picked up the child and made her stop crying.
"Master what are you doing? who is this little girl? why are you making her cry??"
"She is a Vampire, I found her in the forest in a state of unconsciousness, she thought I was her mother, but I told hed that I was not hee mother, and the child started crying, tsk so weak"
"Vampires?"
Abigail looked at the little girl, she had calmed down.
"Little girl, where are you from?"
She just shook her head.
"Then what's your name?"
Again she shook her head.
"What about your Mother? Where are your Mother and Father?"
After that question was asked, she looked at me and pointed at me.
"Mommy..."
"I told you I'm not your mother"
The sound of crying was heard again, but Abigail calmed her down.
"By the way, you received a letter from some nobles"
"What letter?"
"Marriage proposal "
"*Bffftt!"
I spit out the tea I drank.
"What proposal?"
"Marriage proposal letter, they seem amazed to see you at the banquet"
What a bunch of trash.....I got an idea!
"Then Reject all of their letters"
"For what reason?"
"What if I said I already have adopted children"
"That can be done master, once they find out you have adopted children they will back off"
"In that case, good"
By the way, this kid is still looking at me with a sad look on his face.
"Give her to me"
Abigail gave the child to me, she was really small, but she was very happy when I took her.
"What's your name?"
She just shook his head.
"Well, how about Luminas?"
"Lumi....nas?"
"Yes Luminas, your name is now Luminas"
"Luminas! My name is Luminas!"
"She seems happy, Master"
"Yeah, it looks like that too, As long as she is my adopted daughter, I will find out where his real parents are."
I wonder what Asahi's reaction will be when she sees me being called Mommy by this kid, maybe she'll misunderstand, well, I'll leave that to myself in the future.
