Black Haired King

"Come on, let's go in, you ready?

Master Froze will look back at me for confirmation. I snort in silence because it's decided before I'm ready.

Lady Froze, who looks at my expression and laughs niggardly, turns again towards the door in front of me. It is the largest door in this royal palace, the door that leads to the throne.

"Can you take it from me?

"Ha!"

The soldier standing in front of the door to Lord Froze's word salutes and enters. And soon a soldier came out. Of course I did, but I think I got permission.

The door was opened by the soldier, and Master Froze proceeded ahead with dignity. I'll get behind Master Froze without a shy eye. Inside is a line that Master Froze had already told King Torness, King Albust, Prince Froist, and then the nobles he had seen before.

"I didn't think they'd call me from Froze. Besides, thanks to you, Baron Arnold, we have been able to solve one problem after another in our country. I thought you crusaded the oak kings."

I guess Alfred told me. Lady Froze said, "I didn't hear you, did I? ♪ And he'll look at me in the wind ♪ You didn't say that. Because all the handles belonged to the Alfreds in the guild.

"It's all because of my people. I wasn't alone."

"Ha-ha-ha! Well, we'll have to talk about the reward for the Lord later. So what did Froze and the others gather us for?

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Calling your busy spot. Actually, Baron Arnold and I have a favor to ask."

"Wishes?

Uh, this atmosphere, both King Torness and King Albust, sounds like you already know why Lady Froze and I are here. There are also other armored generals and aristocratic men standing near King 1 Torness.

"Yes, our wish will be the revocation of the death penalty in Minerva captured the other day"

"Hmm, the revocation of the death penalty for the Hohenheid family's daughter? But she killed too many soldiers in our country. We can't keep her alive for that show."

"Minerva did kill a lot of soldiers. But as a slave, she was just manipulated with a mysterious weapon on top of it. Can't you take that into account?

King Torness thinks to Master Froze's persuasion. But that's where the general breaks in.

"Your Majesty the King. You don't have to think about it. If we don't execute criminals, those who lose their families won't be convinced."

"Hmm, I'm sure the General's words are also certain. But not all sins are in Minerva... Minesti, as Froze said. If Mannelly, the cause of this incident, has all the sins, we can lighten Minesty's sins."

That's all King Torness says, he looks at me chilling. Is this waiting for words from me? Maybe we're talking about the reward we talked about chilling earlier in the beginning.

"Your Majesty King Torness, may I have a moment?

"Um, what is it, Baron Arnold?"

"Yes, I'm talking about my reward, what will this be like?

"Um, Prime Minister. How is it about Baron Arnold's prize?

"Yes, Baron Arnold has stopped Alfred's rampage during the Oak King, the defeat of intruders into the Royal Palace, and the capture of Minerva, which is also on this agenda.

A prize for all this would make a land worthy of the title to the Viscount, if it were a Torness people. It's just that he's already an aristocrat in the Albust kingdom. So I consider the title unnecessary. It will be a reward for money. "

"I see. How much money do you get for those rewards?

"Ha, roughly, but it will be 10 large white gold coins, 100 million bek. Number one still depends on taking down a thief who broke into the royal palace. If he hadn't protected Alfred, he wouldn't have made it to Mannelly."

Didn't you behave quite a bit? Not even a hundred million Bekus can be seen inside. But not so much.

"Then I don't want any money for my reward. Please use all that money as compensation for those who have been harmed. Could you make Mr Minerva and Mr Helena my slaves instead?

"But if we do that, they'll assume the damaged family helped the criminals with the money?

There the general interrupts again. It is certainly possible. But...

"General, may I confirm one thing?

"... what?

"This is the case at the Mannery Chamber of Commerce, when we entered the Mannery Chamber of Commerce, a human-shaped warcraft suddenly appeared from the inside, didn't it?

"Oh, yeah. That's what I hear from my surviving men."

"Then the soldiers should not have known that the warcraft was Mr. Minerva. It was only because we had met beforehand, too, that I realized. So we can't talk about the fact that the warcraft that killed the soldier was crusaded? Mannelly, who caused the incident, died."

"... if you give me a password, I won't be able to."

The General looks to King Torness. I guess I can't do it without the permission of King Torness. And King Torness...

"General. So, is there a problem?

You seem to agree with me. The General is the last.

"... if you promise to replenish the soldiers"

And broke it for me. King Torness immediately orders the prime minister to issue a decree to the soldiers so that Mr. Minerva's affairs are not passed on to the people.

Then, the Finance Minister is instructed to prepare compensation for the soldier's family and decide to supplement the surplus with armaments.

And finally, look at me.

"Now, Baron Arnold, the reward to the Lord shall be for the two slaves of Minerva and Helena. It's just that Minerva and Helena were both nobles in this country. Especially Helena, who worked at the Royal Palace. Do you mind if I put a restraint on you so you can't talk about things that could be detrimental to Torness?

"Yes, I don't mind"

When I snort, King Torness snorts, too. And the discussion was open. Phew, good thing we managed to get it together. Helena can give you a good reply.
