This is the office of my father, the king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Right now, he and I are waiting for a certain person to come.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

While we were waiting with a light discussion with him about the future, we heard a knock at the door and a familiar voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Excuse me, sir, did you want to see me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......, you're here, come in."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As soon as he said this to the knocker through the door, the door to his office opened and the person who had called him entered the room.

The door to the office opens and the person who called me enters the room. "Your Majesty Faren, Your Highness Artoo, I am sorry for keeping you waiting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The first thing I do when I see the man bowing at the beginning of the meeting is to laugh at him, as stiff as ever.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I'm the one who called you out of the blue. Don't worry about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As Father called out, Franz Works, the First Knight Commander of ...... the one who had summoned him, looked up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The Knight Commander usually has many opportunities to come into contact with us royalty because of his position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In particular, he and I know each other well since we meet frequently for battle training.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Franz, I have something to say in your honor. What I am about to tell you must be kept absolutely confidential.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Franz's face tightened and he hung his head with a nervous "huh" when you spoke to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In fact, what I was about to tell him was a highly confidential matter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Franz was probably nervous as well, but I could not hide my nervousness, even though I trusted him and my father trusted him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In the tense atmosphere, my father tells me the reason for calling Franz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You have heard that Mine, my son-in-law, destroyed an Orc settlement some time ago, haven't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In fact, this too is treated as top secret, and only a few people in the royal court have made it public.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

One cannot imagine the trouble that would ensue if the existence of a man who can destroy an Orc King single-handedly were to be made public.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Besides, Mine has become a member of our royal family, our relatives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We can't give him unnecessary trouble that we know will happen to our people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course I'm aware of that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"And then there's the woman who protected Mine when he destroyed the settlement. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At this point, Father breaks off and glances at Franz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Seeing his father's gesture, I could see that Franz became more and more nervous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......The woman was ...... an elf."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"！！！！"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Franz, who is usually known for his calm and collected nature, could not remain calm about this fact.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

His eyes widened in amusement and his movements stopped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......E, are you a survivor of the Elves? ......So, that's ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......It's Franz, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You understand the gravity of the situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This is a story that could spark a war between nations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If the elven survivors are found, the powers and the favorites of the world will forget their position and come to take them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, just like King Wills did in the past.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And those in their right mind will move to protect her to atone for the abomination that the Humeans have caused.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Either way, the Kingdom of Augusta will be caught up in such a conflict of lust and penitence.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The conflict may cause the decline of the kingdom, and in some cases, like Wills, the judgment of the divine beast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We must not let that happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The elf woman, however, is now under the protection of the Adventurers' Guild in Lucas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... but that's just the way things are. ....... The head of the guild has asked me for protection."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It certainly will be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The protection of a great elf is more than a guild leader can do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I were in your shoes, I would ask for your help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, you're right, I should be the one to take care of this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it is true that there are many problems with simply protecting them in the royal palace.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Franz thinks about it for a moment, and then he is convinced.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What are you going to do with ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I've decided to leave it with Mein."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"To Lord Mein? ......No, it is certainly the safest place to ...... or .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The most secure place to be, not only in terms of fighting ability, but also in terms of external position.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The father observed Franz's condition and was convinced that the story would not leak out from him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He did not conceal from him the most important secret of all: what to do with the elf.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's why I called you here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have an elf woman in the care of Mine's clan and I need you to escort her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A man of skill and trustworthiness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My father and I could think of no other name than his.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If he refuses ......, there is honestly no way out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can see that my father is nervously waiting for Franz's answer to see what decision he will make.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I wonder if a man like me can fulfill the expectations of such a big role.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yes, there are those who are skilled, for example, Cecil, the second Knight Commander. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Cecil, the second Knight Commander, is certainly a skilled man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

However, I have to wonder if he is a respectable human being.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How could he possibly tell such a secret matter to such a person?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And most problematic of all, he is an unparalleled lover of women.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If we entrust him with this case, he may attack the girl who is supposed to be his protection.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No matter how well placed Cecil is, it is hard to believe that he would put up with a man with the good looks of an elf and a womanizing nature.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Franz, don't you ...... think you're being unreasonable?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When I said this without thinking, Franz returned a wry smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......I understand, either way, I have received a personal invitation from His Majesty and Your Highness, whom I respect and admire very much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will accept with the utmost respect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Will I be discharged from the Order? And what about your family?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Will you accept! ......Thanks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can see your father is relieved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Now let's talk about the practical side of things, and I'll explain it to you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　First of all, you will be transferred from the First Order to my position as a Knight of the Kingsguard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You will be my direct subordinate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You will work at Mine's clan house that will be built in Lucas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We will provide you with housing, and you will move in with your family.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Explain the salary, benefits, and other details to them, and reiterate to them that this is not a left turn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... and so on. Do you have any questions?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I'm not sure about the specific transfers yet. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Am I the only one who will be transferred in this case?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, we'll need clerical and receptionists for the clan one way or another.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm going to send a couple of trusted people from the civil service.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And as for the escort duty, you can't go around alone, can you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I want you to select two people you trust and bring them with you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will interview them, and if there are no problems, I will promote them as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, now the die is cast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We have to decide on the right person and bring him to my brother-in-law.
