I outlived the old man...
As this thought surfaced in Meredith's mind, she couldn't help but laugh. The old man had such a strong will to live that the idea of outliving him seemed a bit unrealistic.
Living a long life is great, as you can experience all sorts of professions. Two thousand years ago, the old man was a corrupt official in the Ande Kingdom.
Now, he's a Duke in the Holy Blue Duchy. Give the old man some more time, and experiencing what it's like to be a King... might be possible.
But with the old man's temperament, if he really became King, he might pack his bags and run away the next day...
He had little interest in governing a country.
"Old man, with Saint Blue facing financial crisis, how can you still be in the mood to enjoy the pampering at the Elf Sanatorium?"
"I'm a Duke now, can't I enjoy myself?"
"Meredith, do you know this customer...?"
