32 31. Birthday party (not held yet)




 ~~~~? side~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
 The dungeons of the military headquarters near the palace.

 I'll use what I can before I leave the capital. With that in mind, I came to the dungeon in the military headquarters near the palace. I walked into the dungeon of the military headquarters near the palace.

'd*mn it! How could I be that little boy? d*mn it! Why!

 A screaming Hendriks was in prison. It's a mess.

'It's looking pretty rough out there, isn't it? Lord Hendrix.

You're Her Majesty's son, Tigris...

Thank you for the other night. It was quite a spectacle, that one.

 You look like an idiot.

"Huh! You didn't hear that! What a monster in a child's skin like that!

'No, no, I said it. 'The frontier aunts are a tough bunch, so please be careful.'

'Of course you're going to pay attention to your lord if you talk that way!

 I'm not going to complain about you making your own decisions.

That's your own self-judgment. I can't help you if you say that.

'd*mn it! At this rate, I'm just an idiot who ran an army against a child! And besides, His Majesty Tigris has rubbed me the wrong way for what he was doing behind the scenes!

So you've been physically cut down.

'd*mn it, d*mn it! I won't get the death penalty for this!

There's one way to do it, okay?

What did you say?

 I use transference magic to transfer it into the prison.

''This, this is.....

That's right. It's a magic sword that's currently under development. I've obtained some materials, but it's not something I can't afford to have. I can lend it to you. I can prepare 20 more magic swords just like this one. You can give them to your trusted subordinates if you like. Or you can give them to the prisoners in this dungeon. Do with it what you will.

 It's going to be destroyed when we get back anyway. We'll use it when we can.

Oh, you mean, you want me to mutiny!

You won't get the death penalty if you don't do something about it. If you're still willing to do that, you can have it back.

'Ugh! ...Okay. Let's use it.

Then I wish you all the best.

 Now, let's get you to a special seat.
 
 What?

 Did he slap you in the face? I touch my cheek, which is getting hot.

'Nah! What the hell are you doing? Ferris!

 The girl named Ferris jolted as Alexia yelled at her, and she shuddered.

''Because! You look so happy to see your sister! I've never seen your face like that before, either!

That's the only reason I hit Ray!

That's not the only reason for me!

 It's only going to get hotter at this rate.

"Well, well, well, just relax, Alexia. Well, Mr. Ferris, I mean, you need to calm down too.

Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to your sister!

 Having said that, Ferris lands a straight right. This one will be painful, so he avoids... eh? You can't move? I look behind me a little over my shoulder and see Zeke holding me back? What is this guy doing? And I'm.....

 Boom!

Guffaw!

 He hits me in the face.

 Hot stuff flows from my nose.

'Ray! Oh! My nose is bleeding!

 Yeah, Alexia looks like an angel. And Zeke's a demon. I'm gonna give you another shot in the face.

"Ferris! Apologize to Ray!

'I'll never apologize! Barber Kachibi!

 Ferris says so and runs off. I won't forgive you for the word "little guy" I just haven't had a chance to grow up yet!

I'm coming. Thank you, Alexia.

Mmm. It's okay. More than that, are you okay?

Hmm? Oh, it's okay. Heels.

 I use the Water Magic Heal to heal it. Ahhh, the pain goes down.

''I'm sorry. She didn't listen to me and did this to me.

'Who the hell is that girl? You look like a bunch of beastmen.

 Then Zeke, who was standing behind me, let out a sigh. What?

Ray. I've told you before. The beast nation of the Worst is the strongest family in the country, and the strongest family in the country takes the throne. And what is the species of royalty now?

 That's what Zeke told me. Yeah, I'm sure.

Was it the Silver Wolves?

Yes. And now the boy?

...Ah!

 Long, shiny, silvery hair and big dog ears. And a fluffy tail. The look in his eyes that says he's going to kill me. I guess he's cute when he smiles.

Then it's...

Yes. It's Ferris Warburg, the first princess of the Beastmen's Worst Nation.

So what did the princess do to me?

 Alexia looks like a very good and painful person to ask. Sounds like a hell of a good reason. I'll listen carefully.

"This is very difficult to say, but...

Yes.

Me and him.

Yes.

I think we were engaged to be married.

...Yeah?

 Did I hear it wrong? Here's something I wasn't expecting to hear.

''I'm sorry Alexia. Can I ask you one more time? Because my clunky ears wouldn't accept that word.

'Yes. Actually, I think Ferris and I were engaged to be married.

....

....

 I didn't hear that right! How can two women marry each other?

How can two women marry each other?

 Let's just ask it as it is.

'Isn't polygamy the norm when you're a nobleman, as it is in this country and in other countries?

 Yeah, sure. And so does the Lanwalker family. I glance at Zeke. Then Zeke hides his head with an embarrassed face. You son of a b*tc*....

But the worst of the beast country is a bit special. It is a country that respects the strong, so if you are a strong woman, you can have polygamy. And what's even more special is the fact that they allow same-s*x marriages.

So, if there's a woman-to-woman thing going on, then maybe...

'Of course, there's a couple of guys, too. Well, it's a very small number.

 It's a country of mofos, but there's a bomb in the wall.

"So long ago, with Princess Ferris.

'Yes, it's like Ferris had promised to marry me off to Warbestos if I beat him. It was so many years ago that me and your father forgot about it. The Beast King, Queen and Prince say it was a long time ago and it can't be helped, but he still can't admit it as a person.

 It would be. I met someone I've always liked enough to promise to marry, and after a long time, that person, after a long time, had someone to marry! How could I believe it?

What a bad thing that would be.

Mmm. It's not Ray's fault. It's my fault for forgetting an important promise.

 Alexia looks sad as she says this.

''For now, let's go see His Majesty as well, Your Highness Alexia. I'm sure you're not the only one. If we talk it over, maybe we can come up with some kind of solution.

Yeah. Well, it's better than talking in here. Well, let's go then. Do you wanna get up? Ray

I'll be fine.

 I stand up, with Alexia pulling me to my feet. We head straight to the royal chamber where the king is.

'Is your father there?'

Yes, Your Highness. Your Highness Alexia.

Well, maybe you can give him a call.

Okay. I'll be with you in a minute.

 And when I got the green light, I walked into the room and there it was.

Well, I'm sorry for earlier, Mr. Gusu, I'm sorry for my behavior, Mr. Gusu, I'm sorry for my behavior.

 Princess Ferris was standing there apologizing with tears streaming down her face. Behind her were the kings with a slightly troubled look on their faces, a bitterly smiling silver wolf woman and a boy. Probably the Queen and Prince of Worship. And next to them, a huge, muscular, huge-bodied Silver Wolf Tribe man was sitting with his arms crossed.

 What happened to this?
