My peaceful days with Alice are soon disturbed again. It was His Majesty the King who summoned me who thought it would be okay to stretch my wings a little because I had already worked a lot. Rinse came back, so I headed to the castle while thinking that I was seriously sorry for calling him.
His Majesty the King and Rinse were already in the audience room, and I had no choice but to bow to them.
"I called you for nothing else. I wanted to praise your achievements."
"Such words are a waste."
"Hoho, you're still a good talker. It's quite nice to be able to marry the princess of Salvare Kingdom to Rinse as a token of your friendship."
"It's all thanks to Rinse-sama."
"Don't try to run away because it's troublesome. I want you to stand on the front stage and dance soon."
It was so unreasonable that I felt like I was going to get irritated, but I managed to suppress it.
"Then, are you going to reward me with something?"
"Oh. Say what you want."
"Then, please let me go home right now."
"That's not right. You're going to build this country with Rins from now on. I want to make your achievement public in the sense of solidifying the foundation. Of course, if you don't get a reward, it won't look good."
At those words, I sighed inwardly and then said.
"Then, please hand over the throne to Rinse-sama at the same time that Rinse-sama graduates from the academy."
"Hey... Arth. What is that?"
"Hoho. Is it because you want to get rid of me as soon as possible? However, it seems that it is a terrible story to make him succeed to the throne in a year."
"It's okay. Rinse-sama is a genius. Besides, after I graduate and join the Knights, I plan to go all the way to the position of Knights Commander."
"Hmm. I see"
His Majesty the King said with a grin that he thinks that line is usually bad for us.
"Arth Lost. Do you want to create an organization?'
"I will carefully decline."
"Don't rush to conclusions. Of course, you will join a regular knight order, and you will be asked to create a separate organization, but the new order will have higher priority. Assemble the members.Basically, there are no regular missions.This organization is for national interests and the orders of the next king, Rinse, regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign.It should be said that it is a kind of private army that can be operated as you wish."
In short, with an independent force. However, His Majesty continued to say that he thought it would be troublesome.
"And this unit should be called the trump card of this country. Recognize that it is an organization organized to counter 'Prometheus' with whom you have already started a fight."
"It was not me who started the fight, but this country. I was just following orders."
"No matter what you think, it doesn't change what you did."
"No, not at all."
In the first place, I don't have time to deal with such a shitty development, but His Majesty said that he doesn't think so.
"Well, in any case, this is an order."
"Didn't you talk about giving me a reward?"
"The creation of a new order of knights would be a sufficient reward, wouldn't it? Well, but if that doesn't satisfy you, your voice in this country from now on. No, I don't mind giving you virtually full power."
"Seriously, I don't want it."
"It's best to start a Knights Order early. Gather the people you think about by the time you graduate. Let's talk to Viscount Lost. You can rest assured that you can join the Knights Order normally and become a knight. It means that I don't mind if you become the leader."
In any case, is it okay to recognize that I was forced to do a lot of troublesome things? I hate it, I hate too troublesome. When I asked why I thought I had to go that far, Rinse said with a wry smile as if he could see through my heart.
"If you accept this offer, I promise you the finest wedding dress."
"... just let me think for a moment."
"In other words, I will provide the best craftsmen. You can order the design as you like, and I will introduce people with a wide range of accessories."
I can't say anything because I don't know the level of this world, but depending on how you do it, you can make the best wedding dress. When I think about it, my motivation comes out, so it seems that I can only move for the sake of Alice. After thinking for a while, I said with a sigh.
"If you get in my way of spending time with Alice, I won't let you go, so don't worry."
"Yeah. That's fine. Thank you, Arth."
"Can I expect a reasonable salary?"
"Yeah. In the first place, I'm planning to give a reward for the medicine, so it's okay."
I sighed at Rinse's words and ended up nodding.
