Chapter 27 – Let’s Call the King!

「---Wonderful! My friend, you are truly a hero of salvation!」

「Fuh, I am honored by your praise, Duke Hohenheim.」

A few days after saving this country from the evil mage Snail Django. I was praised by Duke Hohenheim in a room at Beibalon Castle!

Right right right, Rize-kun, you just saved the country!? If you haven’t done so, the dragon monsters would have definitely attacked other territories and there would have been no way to recover!

And I managed to deal with it…..Haa…I’m truly a messenger of peace. The people of Django call me “Hero” or “Saviour”. They all praise me! There’s even a rumor that I’m a child born of virgin conception!

「So, Duke, how are you going to deal with the Django domain….」

「Yeah, I’ll give it to you at my discretion! By the way, the king has already heard about your success this time. He asked me to tell you to come to him in a month.」

Ooohhhhh～～～～～～～～～～!!!

Rize-kun, your competence has finally gotten through the king! Yay! An audience, an audience!

While I’m grinning inwardly, for some reason Duke Hohenheim gives out a mischievous smile.

「Kukuku….I wonder what that arrogant king will think when he finds out that the man he granted an audience to is the owner of “this castle”….!」

Ah, well, he’ll be happy to hear that!

We just copied the entire design of the castle and changed its color! It is overflowing with respect! He’ll definitely think I’m an ardent fan!

Also, Uncle Hohenheim. I don’t think you should call him “that arrogant king” because you’re a duke. You are basically relatives.

「Duke, you better watch your language. We must always treat the king of the country with civility…..」

「Guhahahahahahahaha! Who are you to talk like that? Well, I told him that you have a strong respect for the royal family and are very obedient. You should be able to meet the king without any trouble.」

Ohooo! You told them straight up my loyalty without lying even a bit. That’s Uncle Hohenheim for you!

Well, I’m really happy! I’m sure my ancestors are crying with joy behind the grassy knoll at the thought of the day when the bottom lord of Beibalon has an audience with the king!

I’m insanely grateful to Snail-kun for being a dangerous creature I don’t understand! Thanks for giving me some credit!

---ah, yeah! I just thought of a great idea!

「…..Duke Hohenheim, may I make two suggestions?」

「Fumu, say it.」

「The first one is….why don’t we throw a party to celebrate my success? Let’s invite the nobles of this region. The other one is, why don’t we invite the king to the party?」

「Mou!? In addition to the nobles, you want to invite the king himself here?」

Yeah, I think it’s a very good idea!

Originally, This castle was built to invite nobles and let them know the goodness of Beibalon. Since there is an opportunity, let’s invite the king too in addition to the nobles to spread the goodness of Beibalon throughout the country. We’ll have lots of tourists coming to visit us later! Yay!

Moreover, I won’t need to go all the way to the capital to show my face, aren’t I a genius!

「Duke, can you please tell the king, “Please see the current state of Beibalon with your own eyes!”?」

「Ah, hmmm…..that’s, okay…..fine! Let us trust your brilliant mind and do as you say! 」

Good, Uncle Hohenheim is a good judge of character after all! He’s completely different from my idiot father who said “I think slugs have more thinking power than you.” to me, who has an IQ of 9999(Self-measured)!

Fufufufufu, I can’t wait for the party to start! I’m looking forward to what will happen!
