I Am No King's

Chapter 207 – Drama Kingdom

[Currently, the Bana'an military has entered the Mariander region. There has been no response or explanation from Mariander's side. Dan–]

All the television reported the same thing, Mariander's attack on Rahayu and Bana'an's response. Because of this, most of the employees of the Bana'an embassy were repatriated. However, most of the employees submitted to settle in Bana'an, the transfer of population, one of which was Consort Filial.

And, of course, Rahayu allowed it. In fact, he provided accommodation for these people to publish new important papers. Of course this worsened the relationship between Bana'an and Mariander. Well, although actually the relationship between the two kingdoms has been deteriorating since Mariander attacked us anyway. So, I guess, this isn't going to change things.

When we came back, Mari immediately groped Maul. He said he wanted to train and provide basic supplies to Maul so as not to trouble or harm me anymore. Since the two of them were childhood friends, I let them. Well, let's hope Mari doesn't miss.

When I got home, the royal military asked me to give them the Mariander security personnel I had. I have not had time to respond, Rahayu has refused. He does not want anyone to target the families of personnel who do not know anything.

On the other hand, based on the information I gathered from the black market, Mariander's situation was completely chaotic. Following the attack, the Bana'an air force bombarded the Mariander military base around the border. Mariander's military was also forced to deploy the military to repel Bana'an.

However, unexpectedly, the black market organization in Mariander suddenly made a move. In fact, not a few of these organizations are holding Consorts or other nobles hostage and asking for ransom, just like True One used to do. And, of course, fatalities also fell from both sides.

Beyond public expectations, True One has neutralized several of these attacks. They blatantly claim the Mariander Republic has no place for a black market organization that could potentially destabilize the State.

If I simplify it, right now, there is a 4-way war in the Mariander region. The participants are Mariander, Bana'an, the Dark Market Organization, and True One. In fact, this is too simplifying because the Dark Market Organization itself is also not compact, attacking each other.

This is also what makes many embassy employees choose to settle in Bana'an. The inhabitants of Mariander, especially the nobles, also fled from Mariander. They don't want to die. Some residents also chose to evacuate to Bana'an. However, Rahayu still has not accepted these refugees. Therefore, their fate is still stuck at the border.

Well, at least it's on the surface. Below the surface, the Bana'an black market organization is also on the move. We are all guerrillas, recruiting refugees who want to survive. As a result, disputes between black market organizations often break out in refugee areas. Agade also participated of course.

"I didn't think Arid would be stupid to attack Rahayu. Actually, what did he expect?"

I talked to myself while reading the daily reports sent by Mulisu via email. Meanwhile, Emir and Inanna are cooking, preparing lunch in the kitchen.

"I think, Gin, maybe he hopes that with Rahayu killed, Mariander can control Bana'an easily because it does not have a leader figure," Inanna responded from the kitchen.

"And without Mari, maybe Arid's wish has been realized. You don't know how he insisted that we send help immediately when you were attacked. He said, 'Maul never thinks long! If not watched, he would be a huge hassle! Or even harm!'."

Yeah, correct. I really have to thank Mari. I know Maul is always a hassle. And I thought I could cover up Maul's mistake. Unfortunately, I was too naive. An incompetent without control like me has no power to protect Maul, protect children from orphanages.

I thought I had changed after becoming a student of Lacuna. But not. I'm still weak. I still can't afford to do anything when the time is really in need. In fact, back in Mariander, I didn't even think about using that thing. It seems, without me realizing it, I still attach more importance to my secret than Maul's security.

Amidst my messy thoughts, suddenly my head was pulled back, landing on a pair of soft and tender mountains.

"Gin, don't think too much."

The Emir held my head, forcing me to look up, into his face.

"Do you know what I'm thinking?"

"You must feel like it's all your fault, right?"

Well, Emir is not entirely wrong. However, not entirely true either. Or completely right? I don't know, I'm not sure of my own thinking.

"Emir is right, not everything you can control."

Inanna continued Emir from the front of the dining table. In addition to the side dishes brought by Inanna, there were several vegetable bowls on the table. Apparently, the Emir did not abandon his duty to calm me down. He finished his job first.

"Honestly, maybe, maybe...."

"Don't! Don't think! I'm not letting you think about what might happen if you did something else. Please, no..."

This time, not only Emir, Inanna came. If the Emir is from behind, Inanna is from the front. So, right now, my head is flanked by Emir and Inanna's chest.

"...can you please tell me who taught you to do this?"

"The Emir and I have to learn a lot if they want to help you. Especially, calm your mind."

When they said that, the only figure I thought of was Rahayu. However, the two of them have almost never come into contact with Rahayu. Did mommy? It's probable. However, the mother is now more busy with Ninlil and Ninshubur.

"Auntie Filial?"

"Fright!"

"There's a reason you can be a concubine!"

"..."

Not only Rahayu, even the Philial concubine also kept another figure. Nah! I should have known it since he agreed to sacrifice Papsukkal and conspired with Empress Mariander.

Yup! I cannot underestimate the royal family. Apparently, most of the royal family are drama players. Emir is the only exception. What about Inanna? He still plays a little drama, but not too much.

If I remember well, the Emir started getting weird since Inanna was also my future wife. Is this the influence of Inanna? Or is it precisely the nature of the Emir who actually appeared after there was a conspiring friend? On the other hand, descendants? I mean, both Rahayu and Aunt Filial are excellent drama players. So, it's not impossible if their nature is declining, right?

Well, I have to be careful not to make them angry or resent me.

"Alright, let's start–"

No no

Some blunt sounds were heard. We all looked towards the window where some circles appeared.

Actually, we already felt a killing intent leading to the house. However, we ignored it because my house had been completely changed since the Alhold attack. In fact, the Emir's tank barrel and Inanna's projectile won't be able to destroy this house.

"Emir, Inanna, how about we exercise before lunch?"

"No need."

Ah, that killing intent had already disappeared.

"I and Inanna have told you that they want to help you?"
