I Am No King's

Chapter 21: Bilateral Meeting

This chapter returns to Lugalgin. Enjoyable....

============================

They finally came.

I've been standing on the airport runway with the officers. This airport has been sterilized since morning and there will be no planes departing or arriving until the next 2 hours. In fact, not a single visitor was in this terminal. All passengers and visitors are transferred to other terminals. Journalists were only able to take pictures of the other terminal.

This security is very tight. Too tight. Did the Bana'an ask Mariander to do this security to strengthen the impression that they were in a cold war? Although Mariander's side did not spread it, but Bana'an could ask for their help.

Yeah, I don't care because this security makes my job easier.

Finally, the private jet carrying Jeanne and the others landed. I removed the earplugs and came up to the stairs that came down from the jet.

Jeanne appeared followed by Ufia, Emir, and other security personnel from Bana'an.

All right, something's weird. Jeanne was sweating too much. And, although hardly noticeable, the movement of his left foot is stiffer than that of his right foot. Is he hurt? Coulda. If he's really hurt, then I can estimate that he put nickel around his left leg and controlled it.

I looked towards Ufia and Emir. Ufia could already look at me without taking her eyes off. Apparently, she had overcome her worries, over the humiliation she had done to me, all this time.

On the other hand, the Emir took his eyes off me. As usual, it is easy to read. What happened after I came here? Yeah, I'll find out later.

Just like me, the Ufia and Emir were wearing military clothes and amulets. Under our military clothes, of course, there were igni clothes. It should be noted that amulet does not provide security guarantees. Many military bullets are designed to penetrate the amulet. So, amulet is just a safeguard against non-military attacks.

For the record, the bullets I used to train the Ufias and in the battle royale were not military grade bullets.

What about this moment? Of course I used military grade bullets. While the others only carried a gun or SMG (Sub Machine Gun), I carried a coffin-shaped arsenal box on my back. I realized I was striking. However, it is better to be on guard than to regret later.

With me is a group of greeters from the Kingdom of Mariander, several nobles and one Prince. This prince is Karisma Kai Behequem. He is the crown prince of the Kingdom of Mariander. Unlike the Bana'an kingdom whose nobles had black hair, the Mariander nobility was dominated by blonde hair.

As Jeanne descended, Prince Charisma lowered his body and grabbed Jeanne's hand, a gesture common to royal guests.

"Thank you for coming to the Kingdom of Mariander. It is an honor to welcome Princess Jeanne."

"Honor is ours. Thanks to Mariander for accepting the visit of the Kingdom of Bana'an."

They exchanged the pleasantries of royal manners.

Today's schedule is to have lunch with the royal royals and then continue with a visit to the government facilities. During the visit, Jeanne and Mariander will discuss the relationship and cooperation between the two countries and so on.

For tomorrow, we'll get on a plane and move town in the morning. We will visit some orphanages, health facilities, and schools. The second day was filled with social activities. At Jeanne's request, a social event will take place in another city.

On the third day, the show was a holiday and then closed with a party in the evening. The fourth day, we were able to return to Bana'an.

***

I have never been to a bilateral meeting between kingdoms. However, I didn't expect the atmosphere to feel so familiar. Why did I say familiar? Its simple. The atmosphere and process are similar when two mafias negotiate.

Jeanne and Karisma each sat on a chair, which looked expensive, and was separated by a round table. Each of the bodyguards stood behind the main character.

"can't. We can't provide more assistance than this without equal compensation."

"But the Bana'an Kingdom had given aid to the city of Ernesti a few months ago when it experienced a major disaster right? Without our help, I'm not sure Ernesti has stood up again as he is now."

"We didn't ask for your help. You guys came alone and brought help. Even without your help, we can rebuild Ernesti without any problems?"

"really that? Can you say that to the citizens of Ernesti?"

I would have never expected that the help of the volcano disaster in Ernesti would be brought to the discussion table.

Yup, they are not much different from mafia. They both use threats and bring services that have been done.

"Alright then, we will respond to your request for a plus goods export permit. However, only for the production of skin. Not more. There are no exceptions to his production tax."

Finally the request for the addition of the volume of leather production and craft export permits was approved by Prince Karisma.

"But instead, the Bana'an Kingdom had to send some expert leather craftsmen to teach at some school in Mariander."

"Alright, we agree to those terms."

Jeanne did not raise any objections at all. Apparently, he had already guessed Karisma's request.

From the information circulating, the Kingdom of Mariander does not have tools and leather craftsmen as good as Bana'an. Therefore, many leather crafts from Bana'an circulate on the Mariander black market. And yes, of course, I sometimes trade Bana'an leather handicrafts to Marianders.

"Continue to the next discussion, which happens to be the last topic. The problem of rebellion at the border."

Eventually, the negotiations arrived at the end of the event. The last discussion is about the rebellion in this kingdom.

From the information I got yesterday, there were rebels in backward, outermost, and remote areas. In fact, the Bana'an Kingdom also had the same problem of rebellion, but the scale was not as large as the Mariander Kingdom.

According to black market information, on this visit, there is a high probability that the rebel group will launch an attack. Between them, the rebels, want the help of the Bana'an Kingdom or maybe just want a ransom. It is likely that this problem is what I will have to face in the next three days.

I wondered who the main sponsor of the rebellion was. Maybe a foreigner. Perhaps also the nobles of this kingdom.

"This rebel group calls them True One." Charisma gave a brief explanation. "They had the aim of overthrowing the royal and monarchical system in Mariander and replacing it with another system. From the information we got, they assumed it was time for democracy and the republic to take over. The royal and monarchical systems have no place in the world."

"It seems we have the same problem for this." Jeanne agrees with Karisma. "But, has this group become such a serious threat that it has been brought into this discussion?"

"Yes, of course."

I wonder who made that name, True One. What a strange name. Simple, but strange. Why not call yourself a revolutionary or revolutionary army? It's simpler and clearer, right?

"I brought this topic because you happened to bring someone who might be able to help us."

Prince Karisma is silent. He just fell silent and set his eyes on me.

I looked to the side, making sure that he wasn't looking at anyone else. But no! The others also looked at me. In fact, Jeanne slightly twisted her neck and looked at me.

"I?"

I pretended to be stupid.

"true."

Suddenly, a tray with documents floated up from in front of Prince Karisma. The tray stopped in front of me and I took the documents on it.

When I said float, Prince Karisma didn't throw it. He used restraint to make this tray float.

I opened the document she gave me and saw some names and photos inside.

"Try a check on Etana's name."

I flipped through the documents, looking for a man named Etana. Although I have obtained this information before, but I cannot possibly say it. I have to pretend.

I finally found it. Men with long brown hair pigtailed. His face did not look threatening, but his eyes were different. His eyes were too sharp for his plain-looking face. What was quite striking was his broad chin. And yes, one column that explains all.

Control: none.

"He... an incompetent?"

"Yes, right. At least, that's the information we have."

Prince Karisma confirmed my words.

I am also interested in this man. Rarely found an incompetent in today's times. No. gabe. Even the word rarely still overestimates, overstatement.

And yes, he is just like me. Well, same, but there's a different aspect.

"Is there any information you can provide about an incompetent? We don't have a single incompetent person in this kingdom. Etana is the only incompetent in this kingdom. Then," Prince Karisma added. "No matter whether it's him or you, it seems, you incompetents have extraordinary abilities. You two are capable of being recognized and gaining quite a high position in your world. I suspect you have something we don't know."

Not all successful incompetents are like him and me. But, this is a language for next time.

Suddenly a voice whispered next to me.

I turned my head slightly and saw the Emir who attached a glance to the document.

What Emir meant like me was not that we were incompetent, but that we had the same ability, eliminating control.

"You think?" I whispered to her and showed her a smile.

Alright, I can't possibly explain my true abilities to the people in this room. However, I also cannot possibly silence the question of Prince Karisma. However, of course, I looked to Jeanne before giving an answer. He nodded slowly.

Strange, I guess he'll ask Prince Karisma a requirement before I answer him. What are you planning?

"There's not much information I can give you," I replied. "What is clear is that people like us are used to living with our own hands and feet. Therefore, I can say, we have a higher agility, strength, and physical ability than normal people, even soldiers. Simply put, our physical specs are higher."

Prince Karisma's face did not change.

"And one more," I added. "If I'm going to learn and master all kinds of weapons. To me, the variety of weapons is an advantage."

At this time, mastering all kinds of weapons was a huge advantage. When people with control have to adapt to one weapon, we can use any weapon we want.

People with control must familiarize themselves with one weapon because if the shape of the object used is different, then the level of concentration needed is also different. Therefore, the number takes precedence over the variation.

Take the Emir. The tank turret he controlled could reach the number 6 or even more. However, there was no difference in the shape variations of all the tank turrets he made.

Ufia is the same. If he uses a sword with another form, for example smaller, he will not be able to control it well. There was a high chance that he used too much restraint on his sword. This made it seem as if he was swinging a twig, his strength would not gather and channel effectively. His body reflexes are not very well trained.

However, we incompetents are different, or at least for me. For us, the variety of weapons is what matters. We don't use our concentration and our thoughts just to control things. We control things with physical energy. The mind is only used to strategize and read the opponent's movements. We, who move more often, are easier to master all weapons because our bodies will remember them by reflex.

Yes, I think, that's the only advantage incompetent. However, if the person concerned does not do physical exercise, then he will not have that advantage.

It doesn't include the control-busting factor because I don't know if all incompetents have it.

"Hmm, so yeah." Prince Karisma gave a weak response. "It seems that the reports of him using more than one weapon are not a lie."

Hahaha, it seems that he is not satisfied with my answer.

"Well, that's just the case for this discussion." Prince Karisma closed the discussion. "Thank you for taking the time to discuss this."

"Either. Once again, we thank you because the Kingdom of Mariander has been willing to accept us."

Prince Karisma stood up, preparing to leave the room.

Before Jeanne stood up, I stood beside her and gave her my hand. He looked quite surprised when I gave my hand.

No, don't pretend. You push yourself too much with your feet. At least, if you are standing, your burden is lighter.

Jeanne sighed softly. She must have felt defeated when I found out she was hurt. Jeanne took my hand and I helped her up.

Jeanne and Prince Karisma approached and shook hands. In this way, the discussion session, or I say negotiation, is over.

We all came out of the room and held a press conference. The press conference was running normally without an attack or anything. After the press conference was over, we left the conference room.

"It should be me and my sister who will accompany you from today until the last day. Unfortunately, I have a sudden agenda from His Majesty the King and my brother has just completed the call of His Majesty the King. There seems to be an emergency. I apologize profusely because only my sister will accompany you."

"Ah, it's okay. We don't mind."

What is more important than accompanying guests? Was it? There are rumors that say the issue of royal succession, there are also those who say the problem of rebellion.

However, in my opinion, Jeanne who was welcomed by the crown prince has received more than enough treatment. Normally, only the crown prince deserved to be welcomed by the crown prince. In other words, only Maxwell should get this kind of treatment.

As soon as we arrived at the lobby of the building, a figure was already waiting for us. A figure that would surprise the Emir.

"Include me, this is my sister who will accompany you. Her name is Inanna Arc Spicante."

Seriate

============================

Hello All. As usual, Author sent to mangatoon Thursday afternoon. I don't know when the chapter was published with admin. Then, last week, the author had thought to be more active in the comments column, but it turned out to be dizzy too. Not arrogant or want anything, but real life is quite troublesome these days.

Then, during a break reading the printed comics, the author thought “what if it was made like in the end of the manga?”. So, before publishing, the author will see the comments and answer them at the end of the story, as now. For names, the author will not write.

_________

Comment:

“hah gk no pictures”

“Kok no picture of his”

“ko gk has his picture”

“gw read the comic only for coins if gk...sogah gw...boring very tau”.

“no need to read, but in the open trus in stay”

Author's reply:

Although other readers have responded, the author needs to emphasize again that this is a novel, not a comic or manga. So, yeah, there's no picture. Well, but once again the author thanks you for opening this novel.

Comment:

Author's reply:

_________

Comment:

“no read the title”

Author's reply:

Well, the author does not know what is really nangkep author, but almost all colleagues (and readers) who gave this comment said it should be the correct title ‘I am Not a King’. Well, ‘I am Not a King’ is british english while ‘I am No King’ is american english. Different styles, such as “I am No Man” at ‘The Lord of the Rings’.

Thank you very much for the response. Hopefully in the future can maintain or even improve the quality of writing. Again, thank you: D

Comment:

“Good I like initially, just need to fix for story submission to be easy to understand”

“Oke usually I will be uncomfortable if the punctuation is less tp akuterkesan with the author of My imagination is getting wild hahaha”

Author's reply:

Thanks for the comment. For the prologue, it is made as ambiguous as possible because this prologue gives the spoiler quite far back.

For less punctuation, let the author try checking again. Or if pleasing and kind, it may be mentioned where less. Author is still growing. Thanks again for the comment and criticism.

_________

Actually, there are still a lot of comments that the author wants a response. However, if all are responded to, the response of the comment is more than the content of the story.

Once again, Author would like to say a big thank you to the reader who has taken the time to read “I am No King”.

So, starting next week, the author will read and record all comments and write them in the “comments and respons” session as just now.

And, as always, at the end of this, the author wants to endorse the artist whose image the author makes the cover, namely ⁇ or QYS3. You can open pixiv pagenya on https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=7210261 and like the gallery or follow her twitter on https://twitter.com/QYSThree. Both can also

Thank you :D
