The welcome party ended in a friendly atmosphere, and those who attended left the venue very satisfied with the hospitality of the Kingdom of Agartha. Linos and Peris were right on target, especially the "braakatsu", a pork cutlet topped with brown sauce, which she had painstakingly prepared, was a big hit with the royalty and nobles, who were very particular about their taste.

The next morning, Rinos accompanied Mei to a room in the guest house for a meeting between the Great High King Reborn and King Maintia. Originally, only Linos was supposed to meet with May, but at the request of King Reborn, May also agreed to attend the meeting.

"Oh!　King Agartha!　I've missed you, sir!　And Queen Meirias!　Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule. I thank you, Ribbon!

As soon as he saw Linos and the others, King Ribbon immediately stood up, walked in front of them with his thighs wide apart, and strongly shook their hands. Up close, his face was covered with avatars, and he was not a handsome man. However, his sharp eyes showed a willpower that would not yield to anything, and his crisp movements were a true reflection of his stern character.

His son, King Maintia, on the other hand, watched Linos and the others with a soft smile on his face. He slowly walked forward to the three men, bowed gracefully, and opened his mouth.

I am the main tier of the Hradime Kingdom. I am very sorry to have to take time out of my father's busy schedule to speak with you today.

The moment he heard these words, the Great High King's eyes snapped open. He moved his head quickly and stared at his son's face.

...... is scary. His face was so scary that my balls shrunk. The son was so scared that he slowly turned away from his father.

After taking his seat and greeting his father, King Reborn opened his mouth in an excited voice.

No, I have been looking forward to this meeting. Queen Meirias, I have read every word of your paper, here in Libourne, from cover to cover.

"Oh, thank you for ......."

No, your clear logical construction of the argument has always aroused my intellectual curiosity. I look forward to your presentation at the conference!"

"Yes, ...... I will do my best."

May is puzzled by the sharp-eyed old man's intimidating voice, but smiles back at him.

"The Great High King Ribbon is quite fond of learning, isn't he?

King Reborn's eyes widened and he leaned forward, as if he was pleased to hear Linos' casual remark.

"I believe that from now on, this will be a world of intelligence. I believe that the country must be run not by faith in God, as it has been up to now, but by the intelligent judgment of human beings. However, there are still few retainers in our country who have the intelligence to run the country. For this reason, all decisions must be made by those who rule a country. Therefore, I must acquire a deep education and broad knowledge.

I see, that's a wonderful story. I must learn from you.

"What do you say, King Agartha?　I idealize your reign!　It is we who must learn from them.

"Oh no. ....... You're overpaying for it.

No, no, no!　He is the first in the world to get rid of the interference of the Crimean religion, and he has gathered together Queen Meirias, Poseidai, Dwarves, and other men of great knowledge to rule this land. Do not be modest. If we have a system in place where these excellent men rule the land, each in his own field of expertise, then even if the king is a bit of a fool, he will still be able to rule ....... No, no, I'm not talking about King Agartha. I'm sorry. A nation does not depend on the strength of its king. No, you've done well. Very good indeed."

Both Linos and Mei were a little amused by the unreserved praise, and both of them looked at each other and laughed bitterly. Perhaps sensing this mood, King Reborn lowered his tone of voice a little and continued his speech.

"I have asked for your time this time because I have something I would like to discuss with you.

"Is this a consultation ......?"

"Um. King Agartha, what I would like you to consult with Queen Meirias about is my son."

Then King Libourne told him how foolish his son was sitting next to him. He glared at his son, saying that his sluttishness, selfishness, neglect of learning, and lack of government affairs made him a fool not only to his retainers but also to all the people of the land, and even to birds and beasts. Maintia, however, kept her soft smile on her face and listened to her father's complaints.

"In my country, it is said that even crows make fun of my son."

"Even the crows are ......?"

"The people say that a raven is a wise and industrious bird. They say that they wake up early in the morning and fly to the castle to wake the wives of the families.

"The crows would come out of the windows of the houses and caw, caw, caw."

Linos' eyes widen and he freezes. King Ribbon does not pay attention to him and continues his story.

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

"But I have heard that the crows' cawing changes when they perch on the roof of my castle in Arisn.

...... For some reason, May is amused. She is shaking her body and trying hard not to laugh.

"It's not funny!"

King Reborn's loud voice echoes through the room. Both Linos and Mei freeze in shock. King Maintia, sensing his father's state, had already covered both ears with his fingers.

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

"...... excuse me. I would like to discuss with King Agartha and Queen Meirias how they can make their son fit to be king. Even as a child, he was clever and intelligent. I looked forward to seeing him grow up. But as he grew up, he began to degenerate, and he has degenerated even further since his ascension to the throne. It is beyond my control now.

"Hmmm. First of all, why don't you have a heart-to-heart talk with your father and son?

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

"If I could, King Agartha, I would. First of all, my son does not come out of his sickbed when I call him. If I say something to him, he will not say anything with a wry smile on his face, as he is doing now."

"Hmmm."

"I suspect that my son has some kind of disease.

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

"No way."

"I think so, too. But I can't help thinking so. Agartha's medical technology is the best in the world. We have the best researchers in the world. I beg your pardon, King Agartha, but would you be so kind as to examine my son?"

Linos looks at May. At that moment, King Maintia, who had remained silent until then, opened his mouth.

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

"Father, do you intend to banish me to Agartha?"

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

"You big fool!"

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

Again the loud voice of the High King rang out.

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

If I wanted to banish you, I would have done so by now. I don't think you're a fool. I cannot believe that you, who were so wise, could become so corrupt! If you are ill, then heal yourself. See that you are treated by the king and queen of Agartha.

"...... Father. I have told you many times that I am neither sick nor ill."

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

The Great High King glared at King Maintia with a reproachful look and quickly turned to Linos and the others.

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

"If you're not sick, you've just grown soft. King Agartha, will you please rehabilitate the guts of this foolish son of a b*tc* then?　I can't handle it anymore!"

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

Even Linos's eyes were swimming at the mention of this. Then, he raised his hands in a pose as if he was trying to appease them, and opened his mouth.

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

No, no, no, wait a minute. No, no, no, wait a minute... I'm not the one to beat your guts back into shape. Besides, this King Maintia is the King of Hradime, isn't he?　I think it's not good for the king to leave the country. ......"

"No problem. Since his accession to the throne, my son has refused to hold political office. Therefore, all domestic politics have been watched over by me and my retainers. I am ashamed to say this, but the government of the nation is fine even if my son is absent. In fact, our retainers will be relieved that we will not have more children.

"No, that being said. ......"

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

I understand. I will do as your father wishes. King Agartha, Queen Meirias, examine me once. And let me stay here in Agartha for a while.

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

King Maintia spoke rapidly. Then he turned to his father and continued his words in a chewy tone.

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

And here in Agartha, I will look at myself and learn more. Is that all right with you?　Father?"

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

After a moment of silence, the Great High King slowly opens his mouth.

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

"That is good. Now we can concentrate on the conference.

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

Once again, there was a heavy silence.
