Episode 534. The dragons are coming (3)
“The representative envoy sent from the city of Draena is Celtran. You are the king of Ernesia Kingdom.”
The green-haired young man politely bowed his head and raised his hand.
As he posted his greetings, the human aristocrats who were watching had to sweat hard to hide the fact that they were forcibly surprised.
Being a dragon, I thought the words that would come out of his mouth would be arrogant and arrogant.
The accent is still hard.
But that’s just because they’re not familiar with the language.
Other than that, everything else is flawless.
“These are my fellow countrymen who accompanied me to assist me and to notarize this meeting. Don’t worry, there are no dangerous ones.”
Keltran introduced his companions as if to reassure them.
They didn’t say anything, but they greeted politely.
“… … put your head down I don’t know what to do when I receive a greeting from an honored guest. Be at ease.”
Jeil tried to remain calm and accepted their greeting.
How many kings have ever lived and been formally greeted by dragons?
However, the parties themselves are not very happy.
My stomach burns.
In the first place, I still have to be resolute as a king, so I treat him with dignity, but I don’t know if this is what I’m good at.
‘… … It would have been better if this had happened during the reign of the late King.’
Well, the late King Theonel should be breathing the same sigh by now, saying ‘I’m glad I’m retired!’
‘I’d rather use advice as an excuse… …
I also had the same crazy idea.
Well, it is not unreasonable to have many thoughts when the envoys of dragons suddenly come.
“I’m afraid you weren’t surprised by the sudden visit.”
“Not to that extent. rather… … Well, excuse me, but I’m calmer than when the dragons sent their message.”
These are not empty words.
In fact, before they visited, they had sent a letter to Ernesia Kingdom.
The fact that the city of dragons exists, and the news that they will soon dispatch messengers.
At first, I couldn’t believe it, but the testimony of the royal magicians that the energy left in the letter was definitely dragons.
The fact that the same letter arrived in another country at the same time is a joke, so it is difficult to dismiss it.
If true, it is not something to be easily dealt with.
The first thing is to prepare your mind on the assumption that this is true.
So, when the dragons actually arrived, they were able to calm the confused nobles and direct them to greet them quickly.
‘Maybe it’s their own consideration.’
It was also a really funny fact.
The dragon’s arrogance and savagery have been passed down as common sense even to generations of people who have never seen them in person.
But if you look at their attitude, doesn’t it seem like a lie?
‘It’s difficult because I don’t know the number of goals… …
First of all, I wanted to talk to them and peek a little deeper.
Of course, a mere human might be able to see through a dragon.
“I’m sorry that you came from such a long distance, but I didn’t have anything to treat you properly.”
“Don’t be alarmed. The sudden visit was a disrespect committed on our part. We are not stupid enough to complain
. … I promise you. On future visits, I will make sure not to forget the negligence of this day.”
At first, the conversation started with a pretense, but gradually we decided to get into the main topic.
“In the letter, it was written that the city of nobles would take this opportunity to interact with us humans.”
“It is true.”
Celtran calmly admitted.
Nerell, who recently assumed the role of the head of the dragons, proclaimed to all the dragons residing in the city according to the Lord’s will.
That this city would be officially known to humans as a base for dragons.
The name ‘Drena City’ was also decided at that time.
Because we needed a name to give to humans in order to communicate.
The town is said to have been named after the wife of Lord Edrels. It was decided in honor of him.
That’s how they prepared the frame to show outside.
However, the reason why they did not name a kingdom or a nation is because the concept of a nation is still unfamiliar to them.
It doesn’t make any sense.
informed anyway.
I sent an official letter and even dispatched a delegation like this.
However, humans are still unfamiliar with them.
“It is a well-known fact that humans have prejudices against our people.”
“?… “
Such.”
Jeil looked at him as if he was embarrassed, and Celtran smiled as if he was okay.
It may not be prejudice.
The dragon’s nature is sharp and has a habit of looking down on other races.
But isn’t that no different for humans?
Humans too, the strong despise the weak.
a similar difference
“Originally, I thought it would be a way to spend time hiding with my own people. Looking at the recent development of the human state, I just thought it had to be changed.”
“… … Um, is that so?”
The best thing to do is to respond in moderation.
No matter how much it is, it is not pure enough to believe that word.
Still, they officially sent an envoy, and they are showing minimal sincerity.
You can’t treat me like that.
“That’s why I want to talk about the details of human interaction. Are you okay, Your Majesty?”
“… … Welcome.”
Jeil thought that was the most appropriate answer.
As long as the other person shows sincerity, it’s only fair to pretend to welcome them.
The dragon delegation decided to stay in the castle for the time being.
Since this was unprecedented, one night was not enough to talk about it, and it would be rude to talk so hastily.
More than anything else, the Kingdom of Ernesia didn’t want it to end soon.
They also need time.
Treating the delegation and wasting time is also a basic means.
“… … I will ask the balls right away.”
Jeil hurriedly summoned the nobles and began to ask for their opinions.
All you need is time to devise a strategy.
By now, the envoys would have been treated very kindly.
And in the meantime, the best and nobles are trying to find a way.
It was the best I could do now.
“You mean what to do with them?”
“… … your majesty. It is difficult for us to express our opinions as easily as this time.”
“Isn’t that a normal agenda?”
“It’s just that I barely pass out.”
The nobles expressed disapproval.
In a normal meeting, they spoke for their own interests, even useless things, and they saved their opinions this time.
They, too, know the seriousness of the work.
It wouldn’t be nice to be in a situation where you couldn’t respond well and the cause was because of the words that came out of your mouth.
Everyone was speechless this time.
Not only that, but they sneak a glance at each other.
‘ruler! The feeling of ‘You say it!’ comes and goes.
Jeil also noticed the atmosphere and sighed.
“… … It might have been easier to decide if they had been rude and arrogant.”
The attitude of the dragons was intelligent enough to overshadow past legends.
Even the appearance is outstanding, so the ladies-in-waiting who do not know the situation look back at them without even realizing it and fall in love with them.
“… … That must be the subtlety.”
One of the aristocrats mustered up the courage to express such sentiments.
With kind words and good looks… … .
“How is the reaction in other countries?”
I heard that dragon guests came to other countries around the same time.
“It seems they can’t make up their minds either.”
keeping an eye on
On the contrary, aren’t they secretly asking how the kingdom of Ernesia was decided?
No, you decide!
The first thing I wanted to do was ask.
“Arell! Did you ask him for his opinion?”
One of the nobles flashes an eye! asked while opening.
The name you look for when you’re sad.
Arell.
Normally, they would be afraid of Arel getting involved in a major event, but this time it was different.
I’d rather ask him to come forward, since it’s okay for him to intrude here.
As an analogy, I wanted to throw at least Arell into the dragon’s jaws.
“… … your majesty. Could it be that he still doesn’t know about this situation?”
Of course, I don’t think that’s possible.
There is no physical evidence, but nobles do notice.
I know that Arell is securing an information route by some means.
In addition, it is an obvious fact that I contact him from time to time to ask for various things.
“What did he say?”
“Um… … Are you talking about Arel?”
Jaeil put his chin on his chin and covered his mouth, deliberately delaying his answer.
I didn’t even have to say it.
The king’s action alone is bound to give an answer.
Turbuck. Turbuck.
Then I heard someone’s light footsteps.
Even the nobles were not surprised.
Now, who would be the next person to appear this late?
It’s because it’s so simple that his face pops up.
“You seem pretty perplexed.”
The one who appeared while pretending to know nothing… … .
It was none other than Arel.
Gently brushing his bangs, he sat down leisurely.
“It has been quite a while since the last Congress. I am glad that everyone is well.”
Arel greeted them first as if on purpose.
“I just arrived. I heard that a rather distinguished guest is coming. I am in a hurry.”
lie.
Everyone had the same thought at this moment.
it’s your lie
Actually, I was waiting.
I came here after playing with my aides in a corner of the castle.
When shamelessness reaches its peak, even that becomes a great asset.
Human beings, be shameless.
However, I was not actively involved in this matter from the beginning.
It looks unnatural and suspicious if you have to take your hips off halfway beforehand.
And the person looks cheap.
Of course, I knew about when to send envoys from the city of dragons.
Because I secretly instructed them to send it at this time in the first place.
I was the one who gave them basic manuals for diplomacy, such as etiquette and common sense.
He even tutored the dragons he would send directly to the delegation.
It was a sufficiently informative and stic time.
Kkeukkeuk.
Still, thanks to that, the dragons showed a more intelligent appearance than was known, so everyone seemed quite bewildered.
According to the known image, ‘The tea is cold. It wouldn’t be strange if he overturned the table while saying, “Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Well, if I try to do it again, it won’t be fresh since I’ve already done it.
Show off your intelligence enough to surprise them.
It is necessary.
‘what… … So I have no choice but to get in touch.’
Basically, I don’t get involved in royal politics and stay calm in Pahilia, but when a major incident occurs, of course, as a noble… … And first of all, it is bound to be called as a royal family.
If there is a situation where a dragon appears, they will call me even if they don’t like it.
‘Those guys seem to want me to put on a gun and solve it for them.’
I overheard the conversation a little while ago.
Apparently they don’t want to take on things they can’t handle with their responsibilities.
Anyway, only look for me when you’re sad.
In fact, there is no problem even if I do not participate and other nobles proceed with the consultation.
No matter who else does it, the content of the agreement does not change.
Because I’ve already decided.
Even so, it wasn’t because I was bored that I made a place to go.
It’s just that I don’t trust those lizards.
Although they were instructed to train once, there is a very uneasy factor in entrusting them.
As expected, when I’m anxious, it’s better for me to just go out on my own.
