Leolde gives his answer to the king, who is quietly angry with him .

"Your Majesty, please forgive my rudeness. , but Her Highness Sylvia is too good for me. As Your Majesty knows, I am a despicable criminal who attacked my former fiancée."

"How can Your Majesty entrust your daughter to such a person as me ?"

"Hmm. I understand where you're coming from. , but I' am doing this this because I think I can trust you now.

"I see. I am honored by your  prising , but you overestimating  me . However, I am still not good enough for her . Her Highness deserves someone better than me .

"Are you saying that you are not good enough?"

"Yes. , I do.

"Then you should change your mind. You have helped to  deal with the monster panic, and you have also accomplished a historic feat by bringing back the legendary transference magic   to the modern world.

"The revival of transference magic in particular is too great. You don't seem to understand how much you've contributed to your country, but let me be clear."

I"'m going to give you a knighthood and a fiefdom. I believe that even if I gave you that much, it still wouldn't be enough."

"I'm sure the others won't  be clam about that, will they?

"Yes. But think about the benefits of using transfer magic. How much do you think it will  help this country?"

"The neighboring empire, the best in the continent, has not been able to revive transfer magic. But you have revived transference magic, you done  something that even the Empire wasn't able to do "

Can anyone else surpass such a  achievement ? No, they can't. You can complain as much as you want, but not many people are capable of accomplishing what you had achieved  .

So, come on don't be modest. You can be proud of it. What you've done is that great thing ."

"I am truly honored by your words, ......."

"You can be proud of what you have done."

"It's not so bad for you, is it? Sylvia is beautiful, intelligent, and capable,doing thing without help of her parents."

"and I hate to say this, but  you will be related to us royalty. So why would you refuse?"

The king had a good point. Probably every nobleman would like to be related to the royal family. But Leolde is different. It's not only that he wants to make a connection, but more importantly, he wants to avoid getting engaged to Sylvia.

That's why Leoldo  used his trump card.

"Your Majesty.I  want  you pay me back "

"What  ......?"

The king was puzzled by Leolde's words. Perhaps what Leoldoe owes him is what the king said to Leoldo in the past.

Don't tell me you want me to pay you back just with you  being free   from being  marry Sylvia?"

The king stared at Leolde  in disbelief. But Leolde seems to be serious, and his eyes show a firm will.

"Yes .......""

This is a gamble. It's not that  It was too reckless, too stupid. But what was left for LeoLde to do was to pay back the debt  the king  promised in the past.

It was not official, but the king would surely  is big thing  But for him to refuse this offer was too absurd.

"You're serious, aren't you?"

"Of course . I don't say such things in jest.

Except for the king and Leoldoe the other four could only watch with  holded breath. As the tense moment continued, Leolde clenched  his fists tightly, wondering if it was a bad idea.

"I'd like to be left alone with Leolde for a little bit ....

"What?

The king's words made everyone shout in confusion. Why in the world would they need to be alone ? They  wondered if there was something  he  couldn't let the others hear.

"Father. Why do I have toleave the room?

"Just do as  I said 

"...... I understand."

The four of  them , except for Leolde,  leaved  their seats.There were only two people in the reception room, Leoldd and the king.

But the king would not speak at all. Only the heavy air presses down on Leolde's shoulders. He can't stay like this forever. Rather, he tried to open his mouth, but the king's heavy mouth opened first .

"Leolde. I'd like to hear the reason why you want to refuse the offer so badly.

"Of course, no matter what the reason is, I promise I won't blame you."

(How could I say that? I can't tell  him that  his daughter is a sadist and  that's why  he want to refuse her.)

When the king saw Leolde  turning away from  him and breaking out in a cold sweat, he was convinced that it was as he had expected and continued talking .

"I see. You've been aware of it, haven't you? Of Sylvia's true nature. ......"

"What, you don't mean ...... You know as well , your majesty "

"Yes. I caught a glimpse of it when I was listening to your story from Sylvia. ......"

"Oh, I see."

"Oh, Your Majesty?"

"No, I'm sorry. Leolde. I didn't expect my daughter to have that side of her.

"But you knew about it. ......"

"That's why you wanted to refuse, right? Even using the debt you owe me from that time."

"Ugh. ...... Yes."

"It's not that I'm blaming you. Well, I understand how you feel. I don't know how my daughter got twisted like that. ......"

If it was someone who was willing to be with him, Leolde  had no problem with it. But with Sylvia, there was no telling what she would do.

Of course, he wanted to believe that he would not be killed, but he did not want to be caught in the act of sleeping with Sylvia as soon as she lost interest in him.

"Okay. Let's pretend this thing never happened."

"Are you sure?"

"Sylvia is dangerous  now. I think we should talk about it once and for all.

"Oh, thank you very much!"

Leolde, who had not expected it to go well, bowed his head, trembling with emotion. In addition, he would never have expected that Alberion, Sylvia's father, would be on his side.

Leolde almost jumped at such result.
