84 Episode 22 Western Diplomacy (1/2)

”I have found you at last, King Chelda. I mistakenly thought you were avoiding me. Well, how could a warrior like you, who has won so many battles, avoid a young man like me? Hahahaha.

”I've been hoping to meet you too, Emperor of Lemuria. I've heard so much about your work.

The glass screeched to a halt. ......

And though every muscle in King Cerda's body twitched lightly, ...... he managed to respond with a few words of social courtesy.

I've heard that there's been a lot of trouble with religious and ethnic relations lately. My country would like to avoid a situation where the kingdom of Cerda is in turmoil and pirates are flooding the seas. If you wish, I will support you.

”...... My internal affairs. It's none of your business. The Kingdom of Chelda is an independent country. You have no right to interfere.

King Cerda managed to make a safe reply as his subjects looked on in disbelief.

(Of course, there is nothing more rude than interfering in other people's internal affairs. (*Of course, it's not rude to interfere in other people's internal affairs, but if you want my help, I'll help you.　It's a terrible insult to say to an independent country, ”I'll help you if you want me to.

Oh, excuse me. I mistook you for your own country.

The glass begins to scream.

King Chelda's face turns red and his mouth starts to water.

But just as King Chelda is about to yell, Hercule turns on his heel.

'Then I will leave. King Chelda. I am confident that we can establish friendly relations with your country.

Hercule said, taking a few steps before turning back to ......

He turned his head back.

I'm sure we can build a friendship with your country.

Baleen: ！！！！

Finally, the glass died.

”What the hell?　What the hell was that little shit?　I'm gonna f*cking kill him. ！！！！！

Calm down, please. Your Majesty, the king!

How can you be so calm? ！！！！

King Chelda drinks the wine.

Then, remembering the fact that the wine was from Lemuria and what Hercule had just said, he slammed it down.

With a bang, the blood-red wine splashes to the ground.

This is the courtyard of Edelna's palace.

Somehow, the vassals of the Kingdom of Chelda managed to drag King Chelda out.

It's obvious that he's going to hit Hercule.

”We're sorry, Your Majesty. But this is a celebration. If you strike that young man, ...... that man will have his way. Let's end this ...... war, Your Majesty.

”...... You're right. You're right. That young man ...... is in a good mood just because he won against the infidels. I'll make you regret insulting me and my country.

Yes, just like that man's father. ......

King Chelda grinned and smiled.

After that, King Chelda returned to the hall.

It was about fifteen minutes later, and there was no sign of any change.

Bring me some wine. ...... Nothing from Lemuria.

”Your Majesty. No more booze. ......

”I can't do without it!

King Cerda shouts at his men and sends them to get the wine.

In the meantime, they start to look for something to eat.

At the banquet, the main focus is on the discussions with the kings and diplomats of each country. ......

Meals and drinks take a back seat.

But in this state of mind, it is impossible to have a proper discussion.

So, King Cerda decided to concentrate on drinking and eating.

He looked around the table and found a simple dish of olives, cheese, and ham on a skewer.

The dish was a little unpleasant when eaten alone, but it was quite tasty when served with wine.

He had always preferred ...... to extravagant cuisine and overly ornate works of art.

He prefers simple and easy cooking and utilitarian furniture.

(I can guess that Hercule's taste in this area would be fatally incompatible with mine. Hercule is a man of luxury.

I immediately went to get the food: ......

However, two children arrived at the table before King Cerda and began to reach for the food.

One was a peach-haired girl and the other was a silver-haired girl.

Both were smiling happily.

I guess they are friends.

It was a nice picture of two cute looking girls talking side by side.

(It's not the kind of food a child would eat. ......)

(It's not the kind of food that children eat.

King Cerda is not so rough as to push a child away and take the food.

Even if he is the king.

(Hmm?　Wait, what?

Then King Chellda noticed something strange.

One of the children had a black horn on his head.

There is only one race that King Chelda knows of that has black horns.

The Nightmare.

A queasy feeling creeps up in my chest.

Originally, King Chelda was a warbeast supremacist, and he believed that the canine warbeasts were the most superior race in the world.

For this reason, he disliked the orthodox Messianic religion, which had many followers among the Elves and Humans.

For him, ......

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

That's what's at the dinner party.

To King Cerda, it's like having a big rat running around in the hall.

This rat is trying to reach the food that he is about to eat.

Drunk and lacking normal judgment, King Cerda approaches the food table with his big toe.

He spat at the Nightmare girl who was reaching for the food.

Don't touch the food, Nightmare. You'll get dirty. Get the hell out of here.
