691-Build a house ④






 In the meeting hall that was filled with astonishment and then shivers, only Orchid's voice echoed as she read out the letter.

I'll negotiate with the nobles living near Lilia-san's mansion, give them sufficient quid pro quo, and then evict them and hand them over to Kite-san. Well, that's about it.''

 Indeed, Solé was what Rise and Amalie had in mind, and it was something that Chris and Laguna could have expected. There was no doubt that it would be a better environment for Kaito to be near the mansion of his lover and once spent a year with Lilia.
 However, regarding the content that followed, the people of the Symphonia Kingdom sweated like a waterfall.

''........But well, it's not necessary. I've already legally secured the land and materials needed to build Kite-san's house, and there's no need for you guys to work on that point.''

 They're getting the land. It's no surprise that Alice would have done that if she expected Kite to build a house. But that's not the point.
 The plot where Lilia's mansion is located is a place where a fairly high-ranking nobleman lives, and naturally, both Rise, the king, and Amalie, the crown prince, had turned a lot of awareness to that section of the city on a daily basis.
 But.........''I didn't feel any different for the past year. It wasn't that a new noble family was established, a new mansion hadn't passed, nor was there a noble who had pulled out of the mansion.

 But Lise and Amalie had an inkling that 'about two years ago', there was an earl who bought land near Lilia's mansion and set up a mansion.
 If you put together the contents of that and now, that's exactly what Alice was doing to prepare for that, earlier than Kaito changed from this world to the original world once.

''Well, I don't want to write too long, so let's move on to the main topic. I have two requests, and in the materials I've compiled for each country, I've written down the patterns and people who will mess with Kite-san as much as I can predict, so please keep them in check, okay?
".........

 Then Orchid made a huffy expression as she realized something and handed out the materials for each country in the envelope to each of the kings.
 Lasse, Chris and Laguna received it, and after a quick glance through it, they were immensely impressed. Some of the patterns regarding what was written there were predictable in advance.
 But I hadn't even imagined them.......but when written, there were many patterns that seemed to be a definite possibility, and I felt like I was being confronted with the difference between Alice and ourselves.

"... 'And secondly. This is very important. As for Kite's position, please be careful not to be bound by the laws of each country. Normally, if you set up a house in the Kingdom of Symphonia, Kite-san would be treated as a citizen of the King of Symphonia, and you would be obligated to pay taxes and so on, but that's not allowed.''

 It's a theory that is inherently messed up. They would have a home in the country, but they would be excluded from paying taxes and all the other duties of a citizen. However, a certain unreasonable entity came into the minds of those who heard the content of that statement, as if it were just a word.

''.........No, I'm fine with it, but when it comes to Kaito-san belonging to the country, or the king being in a position above Kaito-san, even if that's not actually the case, the (unreasonable) god of another world.... I don't think (the bad guy) will shut up, so I'll take care of you.
''The Kingdom of Symphonia hereby approves the proposal of the Phantom King at this time.
'The Archlesian Empire has no objection to this... or rather, if you object, the country will be obliterated.
I have the authority to grant the Hydra Kingdom my approval because that man, you know, is not someone who can be reasoned with.

 In addition, the relevant Yawe guy, Eden, has already threatened the three kings at the Six Kings Festival. It is very simple: 'If you disrespect my beloved child, I will erase your entire country....

And I've also compiled a list of laws in each country that may affect Kite-san later on, so please make a special treatment for them. Mr. Laguna?
Uh-huh? Is it me?
You think that because the Kingdom of Hydra is a parliamentary system, the laws can't be changed by the king alone, don't you? Don't worry, it's okay, you don't have to worry.
Huh?
... "Huh? Are you surprised to see me? Oh no, do you think I can't sway the "majority of the assembly"?

 At the content of the fact that she could change the laws of the Hydra Kingdom as she wished if she felt like it, Laguna trembled with a face so blue that it was unimaginable from her normal self, and she trembled with a rattling.

''Well, that's why I'm looking forward to working with you. Oh, and since I'll be coming to visit you next time, please prepare a gorgeous dinner for me~ So, then, that's about it.''
"...what is it? You're very friendly only to His Majesty Laguna.
"...I've hardly ever spoken to the Phantom King, but...

 Alice is basically dry to others while treating them cheerfully, but she is somewhat tolerant of those she has once in her pocket.
 The only people she professes to like are Crom Eina and Fate, aside from Kite... but she also cares for her family, Isis and Liliwood, and follows up with a hand in the background.
 Laguna was once Alice's companion when she called herself Hapti, and he was somewhat more friendly than the rest of them.
 ...Though Laguna himself, who didn't know that, just nodded his head....

  It was.

But really, the Phantom King is so terrifying, how much do you know about it?
"...'Fools fear the king of death, and wise men fear the faceless king'...
Yeah? Miss Chris, what's that?
"It's like the proverbial proverb of Archlesian royalty. The Dead King is certainly frightening. I wouldn't be able to have a decent conversation with him....However, if you go through history, there are very few cases where a death king killed someone just because he didn't like them, rather than the warlord. In fact, such cases are far more common with the Warlord, right?
Well, that's the kind of man you are, Master Megiddo.

 Laguna, who knows Megiddo well, nods deeply at the words Chris tells him.
 However, although Isis has the factor of the magic power of death, his own personality is not as caustic as it should be. There was a part of him that was not very good at listening like a child, but that too faded after meeting Kaito, and now he is more of a calm and good listener.
 In contrast, the Warlord has a consistent style of killing anyone who stands in front of him or her that he or she doesn't like and doing what he or she wants where he or she can't see.

''Of course, as a king who holds the people, I have to be wary of the Dead King-sama... but for me personally, the Phantom King-sama is far more terrifying than the Dead King-sama.
I know the feeling...
The true fear of the Phantom King is neither the world's largest number of subordinates nor his overwhelming fighting power. The information from all over the world and the vast amount of information in the world is easily memorized and used to its fullest extent.
........it's truly a terrifying thing. And I'm sure that our conversation is just as the Phantom King expected.
Well.....

 Once again, the two of them recognized Alice's fearfulness and trembled a little as they looked into the distance.







 And as for Alice, who was deeply feared by the heads of these countries........

''What do you want?''
I need to ask you a favor. "...Lord Shallovanal.

 He was in negotiations with the top of the world.
