Episode 730 The Royal Ball (3)
Stop!
When Ray treated Prince Sa, the hands of the royals who were eating stopped at almost the same time.
Originally, being the king of a principality was in the same position as the royal family of other kingdoms.
If the target was a kingdom that belonged to the ranks of the great powers, such as the Kingdom of Gleiman, the position of the king would naturally be lower.
From the point of view of other members of the royal family, it was like a subordinate in rank treated his superior as inferior.
As the atmosphere rapidly began to cool, King Gleiman moved.
“What is this?”
Father’s voice that I have never heard in my life.
He must have been angry, judging by the weak band of blood standing on his forehead.
As expected, as a king, it is natural to be angry.
A fledgling duchy I hadn’t even heard of did something to overthrow Gleiman.
If he marries Princess Oh, the duchy will be able to achieve outstanding growth with the support of Gleiman.
I didn’t know if it would be possible to declare it as a kingdom within the next 50 years.
‘joy. Who knew you didn’t know your intentions? Know the fraction.’
Prince Four, who laughed inwardly, continued.
“Your principality will be held strictly accountable for daring to speak ill of the royal family of this kingdom.”
At that, Princess Oh’s complexion turned blue.
“Oh brother!”
A person I liked.
When she started to be openly criticized at the dinner table, she desperately tried to stop it.
It’s not very nice to see the younger sister, who is normally so aloof, defending the young man she saw for the first time today.
Prince Four glared at Ray with his characteristic sharp eyes.
“If you truly are the ruler of the principality, you can take responsibility for what you have done, right?”
Ray asked, watching him talk about his responsibilities as a monarch.
“responsibility?”
“Forgive me. You have lowered the dignity of His Majesty and the royal family as well as the royal family, so please kneel down and apologize first.”
The way he spoke was gradually becoming closer to the lower age.
No matter how royal he may be, the cry to kneel down to the monarch of the principality has a similar meaning to a declaration of war.
Ray twisted the corner of his mouth and let out a sly smile.
“So… are you trying to go to war with this principality?”
“Does a principality dare go against Gleiman?”
The moment Prince Il and Princess Lee tried to calm the situation, thinking that things were getting bigger.
King Gleiman jumped up from his seat.
The king strode forward and soon approached the four princes and suddenly slapped them on the face.
slam-!
The eyes of the princes and princesses who were watching him widened.
The four princes, who were slapped on the cheek without knowing why and fell to the floor, grabbed the ball.
He had a hard time understanding the current situation.
You, not the author, were right?
why?
The question is, other royals did the same.
It was clearly a situation where the royal family was ignored by the prince of a small country.
Of course, it would be the fault of the four princes who spoke aggressively from the beginning to cover the right and wrong, but even so, the king’s reply was disregard for the royal family.
Moreover, it was the first time that a king who had a special love for his children had raised his cheek.
When shocking things happen one after another, accidents can’t keep up.
“Wake up.”
“Ah, Obama…”
“I told you to wake up!”
Prince Four, still embarrassed, stood up.
slam-! slam-!
King Gleiman’s hand, savage like a bear, slapped Prince Sa on the cheek again.
“Aaaagh! Obama!”
“Didn’t I tell you to wake up!”
Aww-!
The fair skin of the four princes turned red and drooped.
At the scene of the brutal beating, the prince and princess, and even the attendants, did not even dare to stop them and stood firm.
Others may not understand, but he, who loves his children, had no choice but to do this.
Even though the Kingdom of Gleiman was a great country, the king was not smart enough to fight an out-of-standards being.
Around the time when Prince Four had been slapped 20 times at the hands of the king.
Ray, who was watching him with his arms folded, stopped the king with a smile.
“Then I’ll catch you. Please stop it.”
“I’m sorry. Because you are still young.”
“Kids can do that.”
Ray, who is younger than Prince Four, shrugged his shoulders with a big smile.
When the king’s hands were swollen red, the attendants rushed to him.
After politely handing over the gloves with a healing effect, he retreated.
King Gleiman put on his gloves and replied.
“Thank you for understanding. The dining table is a mess.”
“Rather, it’s nice because it’s very hot, right?”
Ray called the ice-hard attendant from behind, pointed at Prince Four and asked him to remove the corpse (?).
At that, the attendant noticed the king.
If you touch the royal family recklessly, you won’t be able to get a bone.
Even though it was the king’s order, it was King Greyman who was afraid of repercussions.
Moreover, the image of them beating their children like dogs in front of their eyes is still not forgotten in their minds.
“Tell me to be on guard for the time being.”
“Yes…”
Three or four attendants carried the corpse(?).
At the dinner table, the air became heavier as Prince Four disappeared as if he had never been there.
Ether, who kills his presence with trembling hands, and Princess Oh, who looks at Ray, saying, ‘You look so cool’.
Other than that, I was concentrating on my meal with my mouth shut.
“It’s no different that I invited you to dinner today.”
said King Gleiman, wiping his lips.
It’s finally here.
When the king brought out the business, Ray also stopped eating for a while.
“Oh, I’m thinking of holding a ball in the royal castle to celebrate the princess’s birthday. Would you like to come if it’s okay?”
At those words, he looked at the princess.
After looking at him, her eyes met, and she slowly turned her head away as if embarrassed.
The age at which I wish I had just become an adult.
There was nothing I wouldn’t understand if it was said that the ball was held every five years, but it bothers me that the banquet is held in a timely manner at the same time as now.
Plus, those eyes when Princess Oh looked at her.
I get chills when I remember what happened in Celia Kingdom.
The moment I tried to answer something.
Oh, said the princess with her hands together.
“Please… don’t refuse me.”
“Umm….”
“I think I would be very happy if the King came even as a burden.”
The two daughters worked together.
It’s like saying you can’t go in front of the birthday party.
Also, I don’t like being tied up to attend a banquet.
After thinking for a moment, Ray opened his mouth.
“Okay, I’ll go.”
“Really?
“There are conditions instead.”
He held up a finger.
He spoke to the king and other members of the royal family who were staring blankly at him.
“I’ll only attend the first day of the banquet.”
the first day of the banquet.
There are not many people gathering and the atmosphere is calm, so it’s a good time to come with only your face lighted up.
Most of the big nobles of the count level or higher attend from the second or third day, so the ones who are in the seats are the lower nobles who are struggling to find connections.
He himself would get mixed up in the gap and exchange a little greeting before coming out.
King Gleiman did not like the suggestion.
‘Mmm. It’s an opportunity to broaden your network.’
As Gleiman’s network grows, the number of encounters increases.
Then, even if you don’t like it, you will have a contact with the kingdom, and the opportunity to capture it will increase that much.
I felt that it was unreasonable to ignore his proposals, which he had yielded one step at a time, and make new demands.
Unlike Princess Oh, who openly showed a sad expression, King Gleiman nodded with his eyes gently closed.
“I would appreciate it if you would do that. If it’s the first day, I won’t be able to say I enjoyed the banquet, but I’ll be satisfied with showing your face.”
The king expressed his dissatisfaction in his heart.
Of course, it wasn’t even a concern from Ray’s point of view, who had a convenient ear that blocked the sound Ji didn’t want to hear before it passed the auricle.
“Then I will know that.”
“You can stay a little longer if you feel like it. Just to see the faces of Commander Philia and Commander Klein.”
King Gleiman sold Philia and Klein.
Of course, it was a deal that didn’t even work for Ray.
If I go back to Celia right away, I can see my family and Aira.
If it’s magic, how could he decide to stay just to see the face of a sleazy wizard and a scruffy man?
Rather, even the desire to stay longer disappears.
Ray shook his head.
“Thank you, but I will decline. I have a lot of work to do.”
It wasn’t a lie.
It was because they had to move quickly before declaring the current Duchy of Soleil as a kingdom.
Without even dreaming that Ray had the Kingdom proclaimed in mind.
King Gleiman cleared his throat, apparently embarrassed.
“One person is true. The two captains will be disappointed.”
It doesn’t matter whether you’re sad or not.
No, the one who was sad in the first place was himself.
When he brought out the prince who had left his mind halfway in the Demonic Cult, and when the royal capital was attacked by the Black Bang, he requested troops, but it was not accepted.
Not to mention, even the private room was taken away by Aether and there were no seats, so I had no choice but to stay at a nearby inn.
The treatment that the king of an equal ally had received was absurd.
Sensing Ray’s gaze, King Gleiman turned his head “Hmmmm”.
“I am grateful to the king. If it wasn’t for you, I would have been in a difficult situation.”
“I know you know.”
“That’s why I think it deserves some kind of compensation.”
compensation?
If it’s a reward worthy of being given by the king…
Ray hurriedly shook his head.
“No, you don’t have to.”
do not give
There is no need for honorary titles or fiefdoms that are only responsible.
If he was given a title, he wouldn’t even urinate in the direction of Greyman from next time.
King Gleiman said with a laugh.
“At first, I wondered if it would be good to give the territory, but unfortunately there are no remaining domains.”
“I’m so glad you did.”
The lies came out.
“Giving the title was also difficult because there was strong opposition from the nobles.”
Never before have nobles with a sense of choice been as lovable as they are now.
In the future, if I hear a few curse words, I will forgive you with a smile haha.
“So, I will decide the reward for your achievements in consultation with Philia.”
“It doesn’t matter if it takes ten or twenty years.”
“Could that be? I don’t have much time to live, so I’ll have to decide quickly.”
King Gleiman, who was talking, looked at Princess Oh quietly, but he himself had seen eyes similar to those.
When King Celestia placed Princess Celestia next to him, he looked exactly like that.
Why did all the kings get impatient because they couldn’t sell the princess?
‘If I do this, I’ll leave.’
Ray was determined to escape Gleiman as soon as possible.
