The King is worried about his honor.
Looking at Shagal he looks like a supporter.
However, it doesn't look like they have any dignity left now that they have unfolded such a conversation in front of me.
"Hmmm......"
Well, it's fine to just decide at your own pace while bearing in mind that there aren't any personnel here.
With people like the Prime Minister; at your own pace.
It's understandable that it is not a bad story if properly talked with.
On top of that, even if it's declined I have already prepared my next move.
All of the personal information of the leader of this country is already obtained and arranged.
People liked, people not liked, weaknesses, if I remove the obstacles while making use of all of those, it might be possible to change his opinion.
Since they will likely pull back later so I don't want to do that much.
".......Kirk, what do you think?"
The King called out to the young man sitting a little far out.
His age is around similar to mine.
With blond hair just like the King and a slight beard.
I have examined him as well.
Kirkland Von King Dragon. (TLN : カークランド・フォン・キングドラゴン。)
Currently the first Prince and next in line to become King.
Extraordinarily smart and excels at political abilities.
But, a pitiable future awaits him.
The future called unrequited love.
Currently, he has fallen in love.
He went to the Asura Kingdom's Crowning ceremony as an ambassador and fell in love with Ariel at first sight.
Afterwards he comes to Asura Kingdom countless times and confesses until he becomes 25 years old. An honorable defeat.
Whether Ariel cruelly rejected him or not, thereafter Kirk floats the flag of Anti-Asura.
"I think we should take that proposal."
Although he has not yet been rejected.
As of now he expresses his friendship with the Asura Kingdom.
"Until the Strife Zone is suppressed, not letting the public know that we have a hostile relationship with Asura Kingdom has always been my opinion.
I'm well aware about the friendship between Queen Ariel and Rudeus-dono.
We should consider accepting Rudeus-dono's proposal and also include the link of cooperative relationship with Dragon God Orsted,
on the grounds that it will become hard for Asura Kingdom to interfere just like now.
Above all, I advise that the following should be done for the sake of our country."
An aura of an able person is floating from the one who clearly said all of that.
There's a huge difference between us.
About half of that speech might have an ulterior motive regarding Ariel.
It might be because he's an able person that I can't even feel an atom of guilt in him.
Probably the personality of a handsome-man(read:ikemen).
"Hmmm...."
The King looked up at the ceiling after hearing those words.
As if the answer is written there.
"Alright........then, let's accept that."
The King said with a sigh and returned his gaze to me.
That reply might have already appeared within him. He just couldn't consent to it in the middle of that expression.
"Thank you very much."
In accordance with the manners I bowed my head.
But suddenly heard a voice from above.
"Tis fine, raise thy head."
The presence of a King changed again.
I raised my head after he asked me only to see a bitter smile on his face.
There is no dignity here, it's just a bitter smile of a tired person.
"The Kingdom of the Dragon King is currently in this state.
This situation of disorder is continuing because of an indecisive King with no dignity.
I apologize to you who is staring at 80 years later and preparing accordingly,
I might be able to provide cooperation of little significance."
".......Well."
Ah, so this is it.
This is the true nature of this country's King.
I recall Orsted's information while discerning that.
King Dragon King Stelvio's time of reign is short. (TLN: 王竜王ステルヴィオ. Here Dragon King is the title given to him for his magic power(probably)and King is because he's the king. So that's why calling him King with his title intact.....Yeah, I know I fucked up, it can't be helped.)
After 10 more years he comes down with a sever disease and transfers the throne to his son.
After Kirk becomes the King, KDK shows a terrifying display of progress.
The real KDK starts from there......Stelvio is only a character who connects that.
Therefore, I didn't consider much about this character.
But, why is it?
I have now become interested in this country's King out of importance for Shagal and Kirk.(Not sure. 今、俺は、重要人物であるシャガールやカークより、この王の事が気になっている。)
I ended up being pleased with just a little bit of conversational exchange.
"I have a fondness for such things."
He sits on that throne surrounded by armors.
He must properly do his role as a King without any talent.
However, he was likely never corrupted while helping his surroundings he lived to the utmost as a king. No, it is likely he lives.
While at least acting as a King.
"Hahaha, fondness. You are an impolite fellow. Rudeus Greyrat."
"Please excuse me for that."
He is undoubtedly a person who can't leave anything in history.
It's not like he would gain some kind of great benefit even if he associates himself.
But I want to get along with him as long as he lives.
I thought that genuinely.
