Inside the royal castle...
A person was sitting on a throne, he seems to be king.
There were also a few other members, all of them were high-ranking officers some were ministers, and some were noble.
They were discussing how their economy has fallen this year, because of rising of several otherworldly lords there is also a threat of them invading their kingdom.
They know that this otherworldly lord can summon troops from another dimension and they can run to another world so, they are a huge threat to local people.
This otherworldly lord uses their natural resources and land as just a tool to increase their castle.
However, the goal of this meeting was to discuss how to increase their economy and resources.
As they were having a meeting, a guard suddenly entered then a room.
He slowly walked up to the king and whispered something in his ear.
"Wh-what Baron has reported there is a Castle lord just near his land," the king asked in confusion.
"yes, your highness He just informed us using the Mana Communication Tool, just a few moments ago " The guard reported.
It looks like before Bell arrived at baron's house to get information, Braon has already noticed Alice's castle and hurriedly reported it to the kingdom's head.
Just at that moment, another voice sounded,
"Don't worry, we just wanna establish a friendly relationship "
Every minister, noble, guard, and even king looked at the source of the voice.
It was Bell.
"Who are you? And how did you get here? " the king asked.
As king, he has some insight and wisdom. if that person can come up here he is not a simple person.
So, he asked politely.
"I am the hero of the Castle he just mentioned "
...
"I am the hero of that castle, your guard just mentioned " I simply replied to him.
"He-hero?" he seems confused.
"Yes, hero " I once again told him. Do they not know what a hero is? Maybe they lack information on the castle lords.
"ooh! Just think of me as a messenger "I further said, I don't wanna explain the process, this and that.
"So, you are the messenger of the new castle lord, near our southern territory, " One of the nobles said.
He was quick to understand that there was a castle lord near their territory. He was Duke of North Von D Gold.
"Yes," I simply replied.
Do they not understand when I say once, why did keep asking again and again?
"So, why have you come here," The duke of north asked once again
Huh didn't I just tell them to establish a friendly relationship...
"To establish a friendly relationship" I once again told them.
"How can we trust you? And your lord " the king asked this time.
Indeed how can you trust someone, who is of a different origin and a different world? If suddenly aliens came and said they wanna establish a friendly relationship, of course, you would have a doubt they might have an ulterior motive.
But for me, before coming here I knew their economy was dying, the gold coins in their nation were decreasing, and their vegetation supply was reduced greatly as their fertile soils were have become infertile due to some unknown reasons.
They were relying on goods from another nation from the east and for those food supplies, they have to pay huge amounts. Basically, their country was slowly dying And I knew exactly what to do.
Snap!
Loads of gold coins appeared magically. There were 10 billion gold coins kept inside their large chests.
Many bags of fertilizers appeared out of nowhere. It was a fertilizer that I created from my imagination. I just imagine fertilizers that I saw in my past life.
I don't know how great it works but I heard it was the best fertilizer and eco-friendly.
After giving them 10 Billion gold coins and so many bags of fertilizers, The friendly pact will be established smoothly.
*****
"Umm messenger, So many gold coins and what is this in this bag? " the king asked me.
" ooh it's the fertilizer, it can help your infertile soil become fertile " I simply replied to him with confidence.
" So, Can you form a Friendly pact with us? " I once again asked the king.
"of-of course," he said...
He further added, " Umm...Your territory I will grant it the title of Duledom, you can form your own law and stuff and didn't have to pay any tax to us"
"Dukedom? If we do that, isn't that mean submitting our land to you? " I asked him with a cold voice this time.
There is a bottom line for everything, I gave him so many gold coins now he wanna scam us of our land and submit to him?
" No No, messenger, here to establish a nation, first you have to start with Rouge lane, Dukedom, nation, kingdom, and after that Empire " kind hurriedly replied to my question sensing my anger.
" So, we have to start as a Dukedom, and finally move up to empire? " I asked the king
"Ye-Yes" the kind once again spoke.
After he spoke, he start to write something on some fancy paper.
" Here messenger, it is an agreement that we view your land as Dukedom. And we have established the friendly pact protected by mana " the king said happily.
"Hey what is that paper, " I asked in my head...
[ It seems like a royal degree, it is a paper granted by goddesses of light if you break the promise written In it you will die, and people refer to that oath as protected by mana ] - Omniscient thinking
"Ooh it's like the insurance they won't cheat us "
I wanted to grab that paper, but the king didn't seem to let it go.
"Isn't that paper for me? " I asked the king in confusion.
If it is a paper that says our land is now our dukedom, shouldn't I get that?
" umm... hero, can I ask you a question? " the king asked
I guess he wanna ask that after they give us the paper, will we attack them? cause it was the paper on the establishment of the dukedom, not the document of a Friendly treaty.
"If you are afraid we will attack you and invade your land then I can also sign the friendly pact now," I said casually to the king.
All the people seem surprised, I guess to sign the document you need to be lord. But as a hero, I have that much permission and authority over our land.
"But Din't you said you were messenger? " one of the nobles spoke.
"I said I am a hero but you can treat me as a messenger " I replied to him.
"So you can also decide for your land? " the king asked
"yes " I simply replied
After that, he took out another paper
