I Am No King's

Chapter 10 - The Closing Party

Now, I have to be present at the main party before the inauguration. Unlike the party held before the game, at this party the participants, in other words the Regal Knights, also participated.

Originally the Emir and Princess Yurika had intended to give me very luxurious party clothes like royalty, but I was finally able to persuade them that I should be allowed to only wear a gray suit. His reason? Its simple. I just said my dad was wearing the same suit. So, I don't wear better clothes so as not to give daddy a bad name. When the child wears clothes that are much more luxurious, it is not possible. And since people already know father's temperament well, it wouldn't be too strange if I also wore a father-like suit. They will only assume "father and son are the same", and they are the same.

The party is held in the royal hall. You can see the lights emit a soothing yellowish-white light from the big lamp in the middle of the room and also the lights installed on the side posts of the room. In addition to the room there is also a buffet for food and drinks while the middle of the room is provided as a dance floor.

I can dance a little, at least enough so I don't step on my opponent's legs. But, what am I doing? Of course do a culinary tour in this party room. I picked up and tasted all the food and drinks provided. And finally, I stopped at one drink called sarasva.

Sarasva is made from fermented rice and yeast mixed with a small amount of liquid brown sugar. Its salty, sour, and sweet taste really gives a different sensation in the mouth. And even though it was fermented, the waiter said it wasn't an alcoholic drink, so I was free to drink it. Ahh, after I get the monthly money, I will make sure my refrigerator is always filled with sarasva.

Of course, my High School friends who are noble families or at least distinguished families, also came at this party. Illuvia, Ardi, and Maila were the first to congratulate me after Ninlin, Father, Mother, Emir, Princess Yurika, and Zage. After that it was followed by my other High School friends, clients, and acquaintances. Previously, none of my clients knew my real name, but with my participation, my real name finally came to the surface. Well, at least they stated they would do some special orders. Lucky's.

Then, what about the others? People who did not know me, especially the Battle Royale contestants, naturally looked at me with a cold gaze, not least the Knight regal of the Emir family, except Zage of course. They thought I didn't deserve to win because I didn't uphold the knight's code of conduct, but because they knew that I wasn't a knight school graduate and just a commoner, not a noble, nobleman, they can't say it bluntly.

Although the cold gaze I now felt was the worst cold look I have ever felt in my life, even worse than the cold gaze of the Alhold extended family, I did not care about it. On the contrary, I am grateful that they did not confront me. That way, I don't need to engage in a small debate with them. But of course, as always, not everything goes as you wish.

Who else made that wish not run smoothly other than my own family? Errata, my extended family. My family consisting of father, mother, and Ninlil were of course not included. That person was Ufia Zas Alhold. Now, she's wearing a gray party dress that has a hemisphere on her hip. The hemisphere was continuously downwards so I could enjoy the smooth view of her thighs. Her hair was braided behind her head leaving a bit of short hair around her face. And of course, her clothes did not give her a sex appeal on her front side.

For the record, whether it might be a curse or what, all the women born to the Alhold family never had a standard chest size, always subpar. Even Ninlil was unable to escape the curse. It makes Ninlil always add pad in his dress or clothes. As for mother size, she was standard as she did not come from the Alhold family. For additional information, if I have to put down the order of the size of the breast circumference, from the smallest is the Alhold family women, then in the middle of the standard there is the Emir and Princess Yurika, the Princess, the biggest one is Maila.

"I won't admit you as a winner. Take it well Lugalgin."

"Yes, yeah, I'll keep it all right."

I tried to end this conversation as soon as possible and walked away from Ufia, willing to refill my glass with sarasva.

"Heh, you want to run away?"

Uhh, it's a real hassle for this woman. I had to stop or he would scream and make a fuss.

"If you came to me to say that, you said it. Even I've been keeping a good look at your words as you wish. Then, what else do you want?"

"Ka, you..."

Ufia was unable to finish her sentence. His face began to turn red, boiling the blood on his head.

"Lugalgin, congratulations on your victory. You were really great. Not even losing HP. Truly an incredible achievement."

And Zage came, got into the conversation between us. Even though he had already congratulated himself in the waiting room, now he did it again. I understand she actually wanted to help me to improve my image by congratulating me in public, but this woman is not—

"Pa, Mr. Zage, why do you congratulate this incompetent."

Eh? How his tone softened. What's the matter? If I remember carefully, Zage is one of the ten best-rated knight school graduates in history. Does that predicate make Ufia want to disrespect him? Or maybe he has feelings for Zage? But Zage was married and had children, so it seemed that his feelings had stalled on just respect. Might as well.

"If a man as great as Lugalgin is called incompetent, I wonder what title is worthy of us who lose to him."

"But sir," Ufia tried to break Zage's words with a still-smooth tone. "This competition does not uphold the code of conduct of knights. He did not hesitate to wait for his opponent to run out of stamina and attack from behind. Dia—"

"Ufia, listen."

Zage interrupted, not letting Ufia finish her sentence. After Ufia was silent for a moment, Zage placed his hand on Ufia's shoulder, calming her down. And sure enough, Zage's hand on Ufia's shoulder really made this woman calmer.

Meanwhile, I had the waiter fill my glass with a new sarasva and resume my drinking.

"I've been sent to the battlefield many times and I can say, what Lugalgin did was not wrong. He always defends, dodges, and attacks in the most efficient way possible and has the highest level of security for him. And again, there is no rule that states that participants must uphold the code of ethics kesatira. Participants held to the code of conduct of knights is nothing more than an unwritten rule because all participants were nobles or graduates of a knight school. This was the first time a commoner who did not have a knight school background participated."

"Ta, but sir...."

"Lugalgin."

"Yes Zage sir?"

"Explain to us, how can you fight like that? Seeing from the way you fight, it is undeniable that you have experience fighting in the real world."

I didn't want to explain and give a long story, so I just answered as briefly as possible.

"Let's just live as a man without control, an incompetent, not easy."

"Hoo, and what's the difficulty? Weren't you born in the Alhold yang— family"

"Sorry Mr. Zage, but I don't know anything about my brother's life."

Out of nowhere, Ninlil suddenly appeared beside me and interrupted Zage's speech.

"Sister, who has no control, is the target of bully all of Alhold's extended family and friends. It is not uncommon for them to commit violence against their sisters. Of course, of course,"

Ninlil was unable to finish his sentence. It seemed that his sadness was piling up, rendering him unable to speak anymore.

I rubbed Ninlil's hair and gave him my drink. After drinking the sarasva from my glass, she was finally able to calm herself down a bit.

All right, let me end this conversation. This conversation began to be dangerous for Ninlil.

"As my sister explained. My life has never been easy. Especially from the Alhold family. Only my father, mother, and Ninlil cared and were kind to me. Regarding the treatment of Alhold's other extended family, I don't need to say. You can gather your own rumors and info about it."

I emphasize the Alhold family section. This is to give the impression to Ufia and Zage that I hate the Alhold family, especially to the Ufias. Of course, I made sure my words were heard by some of the Alhold family who were trying to eavesdrop from earlier. With me giving the impression that I hated the Alhold family, they would have no intention of approaching me who had been the battle royale champion.

To be honest, I don't hate the Alhold extended family. I don't care about the Alhold family anymore. They can mock me as they please. Even if they cut off family ties with me, I would be very grateful. Unfortunately, they would not be able to do so because Ninlil was the next head of the family. If they did, they were worried about what Ninlil might do after he became the head of the family.

After I said that, I could feel another Alhold family eavesdropping throwing cold glances, not least Ufia. I've been disgraceful that I've been mistreated by the Alhold family, in public. Although the rumors are already circulating, this is the first time I, as a first party, have confirmed it. With this, the reputation of the Alhold family will also plummet even though I am a champion and come from the Alhold family. But on the other hand, I did not forget to mention how father, mother, and Ninlil were good to me. I did it so that they would get a good name in the midst of the destruction of the great Alhold family.

Zage who heard my answer showed a sour face. He realized that he had heard a disgrace that should not be heard. But it's too late. You started it yourself.

Since things were getting out of control, I left Zage and Ufia. I drove Ninlil back to mom and dad and apologized to them. After that, I explained what I had done and my plans ahead. I told him how I faced Ufia who confronted me and Zage who was nearby. And then, I also explained my plan to them about how I would live alone after this.

Since I was in Junior High, I've been telling my mom and dad how I would live alone after I graduated high school, so they weren't too surprised at my decision. Since I had already won the battle royale and would earn some money each month, they were not too worried either. For a more detailed discussion we will discuss when we go home. Right now, all we can do is continue this party, go through the inauguration procession, and then go home.

I apologize because after my words, no doubt father and mother will get a cold look also from the Alhold extended family. Although I know, and indeed, they are more concerned with me than their relationship with the Alhold extended family, I cannot help but feel guilty for dragging them along.

"What did you say? It's the parents' responsibility to take care of their children's mistakes."

Dad gave me an answer to my apology.

"Your father is right gin. Your father and mother have been prepared for this ever since we found out you had no controlling powers. Although we felt a little guilty about Ninlil for giving him trouble as well."

"No, it's okay mom. I don't mind."

This family really is the thing I am most grateful for in my life. They are the most important things in my life. I don't care even if I have to make the Alhold family or even the Bana'an kingdom my enemy. If they dare mess with my family, I'll make sure they're destroyed. And with my title as the battle royale champion, everyone won't mess with my family.

I separated myself from my family, had to go to the bathroom. It seems I drank too much Sarasva. Hahaha, I completely forgot the controls so as not to drink too much. The drink was delicious, though.

After finishing my business in the bathroom, I also came out of the bathroom but did not walk back to the party room, but rather walked in the other direction, going deeper into this palace. I walked down the corridor and turned. Right after the turn, I leaned directly against the wall, a bit away from the turn so as not to be seen before the person turned. And finally, that person appeared at the intersection of this corridor. He stopped when he saw me waiting for him.

"So, what does Agent Schneider want from me?"
