"I'm sorry, isn't this person annoying? He does this as if nothing happened." A blue-haired beauty interrupted to help.

“Tulio, I cannot proceed without more information.”

"Even if you say that, didn't I already say I'm not sure yet?"

"You two, we'll talk about this later. Sorry, Master Magic Boxer. You tried to test, and you got tested. Does what your child did look like play to you?"

He felt a change in his mind.

"Yekai, Lord Grayer, I don't mind. Sometimes, your child's frankness is important. Do you think he is growing up freely?"

“That’s a feel-good thing. But it’s busy.”

(I am not a raccoon cat who would be defeated by such a little action.)

Tulio thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

The people who had completely misunderstood Grayer had to change their direction and turn to persuasion: "Lord Ye Kai, His Majesty is carrying out a great rule. He is an indispensable figure in Phrygia. However, he sometimes has a tough temper. Can you be more considerate?"

“These people, do you think they’ll ruin everything if you don’t like them?”

"Not so much, I suppose. They must eliminate foreseeable dangers because it is their duty and they are doing their duty faithfully."

(I've heard of it)

Grayer thought.

This was a hint for Tulio to understand. Tulio might not be able to keep up with the scheming of these two people, but he felt the result of their close cooperation and hard work.

For Yekai and Chamu, this is just the result of trying to understand each other.

“We, the subjects, are working hard to help your Majesty govern. Do you understand?”

Bartello also understood that no matter how he tried to hide, he would be seen through.

"Please rest assured. I am not a lawless person who wants to interfere with the monarch of this country. The rest depends on how much you trust His Majesty."

(How tricky. Are you trying to test your Majesty's patience?)

Bartello had not expected that the headache his good friend had caused him would be so tormenting.

A few days later, the time finally came. When Grael and Bartolo requested a meeting, as pointed out, King Salum Meten Phrygia already knew the whereabouts of the Magic Fist.

Preparations were being made to summon Dorrisden for questioning, and their arrival now made everything urgent.

“You don’t want me to do this, who do you think I am?”

"The extent of this gentleman's danger is unknown. With this in mind, it is imperative that we be fully prepared."

"How can such routine communication help us understand the character of a hero?"

(That's the scariest part) But he couldn't say it.

“I hope you understand that this is also our responsibility.”

This matter cannot be undone. During the interview, there was silence.

Ye Kai did not stop or show any sign of retreating. King Salum asked, "Magic Boxer, will you not kneel before me?"

Cham was still looking at him, as if testing him.

In front of a king, such an attitude was nothing but disrespect, and the ministers present began to make noises, and Grail and Bartello frowned. However, before the condemnation began, the person involved explained himself.

"I have not shown that I have bowed my head to anyone except His Majesty King Holzlein, who has benefited greatly. Please forgive me."

"If you want to claim that you value integrity, do you realize that proper etiquette is necessary to treat King Holzlein?"

"That is not necessarily the case. I am not a subject of His Majesty Albert, much less an ambassador plenipotentiary. Would His Majesty Salum be affected by the conduct of a man of such a position in Holzlein?"

When asked about his personal moral integrity, he asked about the country's moral integrity.

“You have a responsibility.”

"I am only carrying the lives of my cherished companions. Nothing more. But this is not the topic to discuss at this time."

"...Okay. If you say you have nothing to do with the country, then it's a coincidence that we meet here. If you say you will be loyal to me, I will treat you well."

Compared to Holzlein, the Kingdom of Phrygia was more inclined to force. This may be due to the history of the country. Before the rise of the Kingdom of Phrygia, this westernmost region was also the territory of the Treba Empire.

Phrygia, which possessed the greatest power in the region, formed an alliance with the surrounding lords and nobles, unilaterally declared independence, and entered into a state of war with the Treba Empire.

On the difficult border, the Phrygian army gathered strength, fought hard against the Western superpowers, and finally won independence. Subsequently, the Treba Empire planned to invade the Phrygian Kingdom many times, but was repelled, thus establishing its position as one of the three major powers in the West.

“In Holzlein, you might find it hard to survive. Military merit is also more easily recognized here.”

"Please don't misunderstand me. I have no desire for fame. If I had, His Majesty Albert would have prepared a chair for me."

“What do you hope for?”

If it was Cham, she might have stopped the reckless act of peeping into the abyss, but none of the close ministers around Salum could understand it accurately. They were in the process of this.

Salloum was under no obligation to answer the direct and impolite questions that followed, but he understood that he could not proceed without answering.

“What do you think a country is?”

“It’s a place where people can live as human beings.”

A place where one can live an orderly life, this is the country in Salloum's mind.

“So, what is a king?”

“It’s the people who protect that place.”

The king must protect the lives of the people and become the embodiment of order.

“What is the people?”

“It’s all I’ve got.”

He must guide them as a father to all.

"Then I'll give this to you." Ye Kai handed over a few pieces of parchment.

The attendant went downstairs and took it, then brought it back to Salloum.

“This is a telepathic device.”

"Telepathic device?"

Hearing unfamiliar words, they had questions.

"Yes, with it, no matter how far away, you can communicate instantly, whether it's hundreds or thousands of lumps, hundreds or thousands of kilometers."

“Is this really possible?”

“The detailed theory, structure, and engraving description are all written here. Although it may require some expensive materials, so mass production may be a little difficult, you should understand how useful it is.”
