Chapter 16 - Help

The next morning.

The sun illuminated through the curtains and casted a low glow in Ha Joon's room.

The young man in question was still lying down on his bed, dressed in his nighty pajamas.

[Wake up, wake up you not so loser harem having skill mastering perverted sigma!!!]

The alarm on his phone rang out.

Ha Joon's eyes slowly fluttered up, his long lashes sparkling like pixie dust.

"It's morning already." He uttered in a low tune, and then, a small smile as he closed his eyes.

'Such perfect weather.'

Ha Joon reached for the small bell close to his bed, and gently rang it.

Almost immediately, there was a knock on his door.

"Come in." Ha Joon uttered elegantly as he slowly sat up right on the bed.

The butler of the mansion walked in, standing at the entrance as he observed Ha Joon sitting like a man who had just finished battle.

"Sebastian." Ha Joon called out.

"The name is Malvin sir."

"Be a dear and bring my breakfast to bed, would you?".

"Right away sir." The butler responded before leaving the room.

Ha Joon, still carrying a smug expression on his face, gently stood up from the bed, and began walking towards the window.

'Ahhh, what a day… with the way I've been winning lately, one would think I'd get tired. Oh dear, this much aura on one person should be forbidden. But who could blame him, after all…'

Ha Joon swept his hair back with his hand, before looking at his reflection in the mirror, 'Merlin is obviously in love with him'.

From nowhere, his eyes widened as a new thought surfaced in his head.

'Oh yes, it's about that time is it not.'

He began to walk towards the center of the room, slowly loosening the fabric holding his robe together.

'About the same time every morning, a beautiful maid walks in here to change the bedsheets, I guess it's something accustomed to rich people. That doesn't matter though, she has a fat ass, thick ass, degree center ass, jiggly bubbly with two sides of smack ass, it would be a shame if I didn't make a move on her sooner or later'.

Ha Joon loosened his robe, allowing it to drop down from his shoulder. He had only boxers on, nothing else, his chest was bare.

Finally, he could sense someone was standing at the other side of the door- it was her.

Ha Joon smiled one last time with his eyes closed, this one, seemed to be from satisfaction.

The door opened.

"Hey there cutie, I know you are shocked as to why I'm suddenly like this, but don't worry, it's a gradual process, if you don't tell anyone, I won't, so why don't you come closer and give papa a gwak-".

His voice and expressions went numb as soon as he opened his eyes.

Rather than the maid he was expecting, the one person standing in front of him was Artoria, with a disgusting look playing her face.

Everything he had said, there was no doubt Artoria heard every bit.

"A-Artoria, what are you doing here?" Ha Joon spoke, slowly putting on his robe back as he sweat profusely.

Artoria stared at him for a while, and then, she sighed.

"Is this what you do to my maids?" She asked.

"Of course not. Why would you say such a thing?" Ha Joon uttered as he walked towards the bed.

"Ohhh…"

"Let's leave that. What is a beautiful king such as yourself looking for in my room so early in the morning?" Ha Joon crossed his legs.

"Pardon me, but I'm afraid I need your help in taking care of an issue."

'Oh right, I still have my main quest to help Artoria with the kingdom? Wait? Does the quest say until the kingdom grows completely or just help?'.

"You see, the water supply has been contaminated, and we don't know where the source is from. Honestly, it's becoming quite the headache, the people are sick and my healers are losing morals".

"The water is contaminated? How come I never noticed?" Ha Joon asked.

"Because it hasn't gotten to the royal castle, but I should bet that in a matter of days, our waters will face the same fate. Merlin is currently trying to find the source of this predicament, but we need to re supply the people with water, and this is where you come in".

Ha Joon remained serious.

"Towards the east, is the Kingdom Orion. We have delivered the money needed for the water she had purchased from them, all that is needed is for the royal Knights to pick them up, and I'd like you to escort them." Artoria uttered.

"Why me though? Wouldn't it be better to send one of your strongest knights?".

"I am, Mordred will also be with you. The rest of my knights are preoccupied. Orion kingdom can't be trusted, there is a good chance they'll try to abuse my knights and take the water supply back".

Sigh!

'Is she seriously pairing me with that manic? I'd be damned if I went anywhere with that woman.' Ha Joon said with disgust.

"Wait, rather than wasting money on water, why don't we just find a new source until the old one is clean again? And even then, having multiple sources of water isn't that bad." Ha Joon voiced out, his head tilted to the side.

"New source? This river is the only source we have, and I believe the nearest water source here should be the next village, and they are quite protective and reserved, Dwarfs who help us with our equipment." Artoria answered.

Ha Joon placed his hand under his jaw as he thought.

"Uhmm…. Artoria, would it be okay if I see this contaminated water for myself?" He asked.

"Sure." Artoria replied.

'If push comes to shove and it's what I'm thinking, then we are going to bring a bit of technology into this. Thankfully my Construct skill has improved, I can easily make machines…I think'.
