12-Chapter 12 His Royal Highness? His Royal Highness?
Chapter 12 - His Majesty the King? Your Highness?

The man on the throne quickly relieved his excited condition and looked at us.
"By the way, where's Klaus? How come I haven't seen him?"
"Your Highness, on our way back, there have been many attempts to take something like that away from us. In the last town, we were almost caught by them, and if it had not been for Lord Phil and Dale, I would have fallen into enemy hands. But, Grandpa and the others got separated from us during their attack. So..."
"I see, must be my brother and his forces, right? For this thing, I'm sure they want it badly, too."
"So, if you can, please..."
"Of course, I'll send someone to rescue Klaus and the others, don't worry about that. Besides, you guys are all meritorious, of course there's no shortage of rewards and such. By the way, Knight Yaling, the head of the Seventh Knight Order has recently been vacated, so you can be the head!"
"Eh!!!? This...I..."
"What, no?"
The king had a playful expression on his face. Although Arlene looked panicked, she was actually happy, right?
"Of course not, thank you very much for your gift!"
After saying that Arlene put her head down.
"Good, then go take up your post immediately, because we'll have something to do soon."
"Eh? This..."
Arlene looked at me, then gave me a difficult look.
"Don't worry, I won't let this guy die."
Dale waved a hand at Arlene.
"Well, understood."
After saying that, Arlene saluted the king once again and withdrew.
A moment later, the King spoke again.
"Say, Dale, I remember that you're from my brother's side of the camp, right? How did it help me this time?"
"That's really funny, I'm just helping my friend out a little this time."
After saying that he looked at me.
"But well, I'd be happy to have something like a reward."
"Hahaha, funny, it's the first time I've heard you talk so humorously after all this time. Very, very good! Tired of being Vice President? You're the dean now, and I've approved your $100,000 research grant."
"Thank you very much!"
Dale smiled and saluted.
"And you..."
This time the devil...no, the king walked right off the top of the throne. And then flashed in front of me in an instant.
So fast! Not bad for a guy with twice my rank, that's a scary speed.
"Who was it?"
Hey, hey, hey! Don't say such funny things with a serious look on your face! If you don't know, just say so! You're scaring me so much that my heart is about to burst!
"This is an old friend of mine, Linfield, from a long time ago. It surprised me to see him and Miss Arlene appear this time though. So I stepped in to help."
"Oh, Phil,"
The king looked me up and down and then quickly returned to his position.
Are you guys just trying to show how fast you are? Go for the 100-meter run!
"Thank you very much for protecting Arlene, otherwise I don't think this would have made it back, right? After all, if it wasn't for you, Dale wouldn't be helping Arlene, would he. Oh well, it's great, how's that for a very big credit, what do you want? Official position, money, or some kind of treasure?"
"Money!"
I said without hesitation.
"Ah..."
Even the king was surprised by my quick reaction, looked at me in slight surprise for a while, and then laughed.
"Hahahahaha, interesting interesting, in that case, as you wish! Henry!"
"I am,"
A figure stepped out of the pillar, wearing a black robe similar to Dale's.
Is this really a mage specific suit?
Too bad I can't see the occupation to determine it.
"You take Phil to the vault and draw 500,000 gold cards."
Complied.
"What!?"
Dale instantly got wide eyed and looked at me very upset.
"Why do you have more money than me...?"
"At least you've been promoted, so stop complaining."
I said and followed the guy named Henry in the direction of the hallway.
