I Am No King's

Chapter 32 – Conditions

Ding Dong

　

And the bell rang, forcing me to end time with Inanna this morning.

　

"Let me open the door. You prepare treats for them."

　

"Good."

　

I walked to the door while Inanna went to the kitchen. And, as the Emir said, Jeanne and Ufia were already standing at the door.

　

"Hi, welcome. Please come in."

　

"Excuse me..."

　

Although I was already quite familiar with Jeanne, it was still a bit strange when she acted like a commoner in front of me.

　

"Hi, Gin."

　

"Yes."

　

On the other hand, I was already able to communicate with Ufia quite smoothly. Well, basically, we're still cousins. So, supposedly, this communication is a normal thing. Ought to.

　

They followed me to the living room, where Inanna was waiting with cake and tea. For guests, alpine tea has always been a major concoction.

　

"Hi, Na."

　

"Hi, Jeanne."

　

Jeanne and Inanna exchanged greetings for a moment. However, Jeanne was still frowning.

　

"Where's Emir?"

　

"above. Either he's done bathing or he hasn't."

　

"YES... A MINUTE..."

　

A scream sounded from the second floor. Jeanne and I threw eyes at each other. We were both surprised how he could hear our words on the first floor.

　

"Yes, please sit down."

　

I let Jeanne and Ufia sit down.

　

I sat on the couch with Inanna. Jeanne and Ufia also sat next to each other on the sofa, across the street.

　

"So, how?"

　

"Just go straight to the point, yeah" Jeanne started talking. "To your request, Dad said he needed more time to be able to fulfill it. Dad said he had to sign a lot of paperwork and licensing just to print and give you that document. What documents do you ask for?"

　

I immediately called King Fahren when asking for the documents in return. Therefore, Jeanne did not know what documents I requested.

　

On the other hand, I did not see any change in reaction to Inanna when Jeanne called King Fahren father. Though, I guess, he would show a slight change in expression when he heard the daughter of the concubine in this kingdom, easily, calling the King by the name of father.

　

Back to Jeanne.

　

"Before I answer it, do you think it is safe for you to hear the name of the document that needs the serepot licensing? Which even a King takes longer to take care of."

　

Jeanne was silent for a moment. He threw a glance at Ufia, who only shook her head.

　

"Yes, sorry. I won't ask any further."

　

Jeanne held back.

　

"Sorry I'm late.. eh? Why is Inanna sitting next to you, Gin? Inanna, move you?"

　

"A, uh..."

　

Before Inanna could lift herself up, I put my hand on her shoulder, preventing her from standing up.

　

"No. Emir, you sit there. It's your fault you just finished the shower."

　

"Please, but..."

　

"Ga there's a but-button. Next time, if you want to sit here, you have to wake up early and be ready to receive guests as well."

　

Silent emir. He sat on the couch for one person, at the end.

　

"Hahaha, I was worried about how it would be when I heard that Emir and Inanna would stay in one house."

　

Jeanne gave a fairly light response.

　

"Why?" I'm a little curious.

　

"I mean, Inanna's a submissive person. If he asks for something and is rejected, he will hesitate to ask for it again. You remember when he asked you to throw out formality but you refused? He tried again but through me. He asked again but not directly."

　

"Ahh.... so he did it because he was embarrassed? Or should I say, scared?"

　

"You could say so." Jeanne gave confirmation. "You should see how he was told to by the team members when we played the game online. It's, like, really sliced...."

　

"Jeanne, don't tell Lugalgin dong." Inanna finally got into the conversation. "That's in the game. I mean, I was a beginner then. Can't I just refuse their orders?"

　

"Huh? But you haven't changed until now?"

　

"But. but..."

　

When chatting familiarly like this, no one would have guessed that Inanna was quite wild and intimidating when fighting or standing as the Princess. Inanna's true nature does appear when she is in people who are already close enough.

　

"Well, let's end the conversation about Inanna." I stopped Inanna and Jeanne's little argument. "Then, Jeanne, my reward for helping Inanna back then?"

　

"Lho?" Emir got into the conversation. Apparently, he doesn't want to be left behind. "Don't you get Inanna in exchange for putting down the attack on Afee?"

　

"Huh? It was the reward given by King Arid. And I didn't ask for it at all." I switched the conversation to Inanna. "I'm sorry, Inanna, it's not that I hate you, but I don't like the way King Arid suddenly decided it was unilaterally."

　

"It's okay, I understand how you feel."

　

"Well, get back to Jeanne." I turned my eyes to Jeanne. "So, how?"

　

"I've brought it." Jeanne took a card from the jumper's pocket. "It's..."

　

I took the card and then took my phone in my pants pocket. The card had only one barcode box, without any images. When I scanned it, a pin request appeared on my screen.

　

"398412."

　

Without me asking, Jeanne had already said the pin in question. I typed the number and got a notification to wait. Not long after, a message came in, telling me some money was coming into my account.

　

"Good, thank you for keeping your promise." I put my phone back in my pocket.

　

"Well, by doing so, I have no dependents whatsoever."

　

Jeanne said it with a cheerful tone, as if a burden had already disappeared from her shoulders.

　

"Now, it's my turn."

　

"Eh? You also have some business with Lugalgin, Ufia?"

　

Ufia nodded.

　

If Jeanne doesn't know it, then Ufia is trying to hide this. If he tries to cover it up, then, it's related to the Alhold family.

　

"Alhold?" i'm making sure.

　

"Yes." Yeah."

　

"Well..." I let out a breath. "I think mom and dad obviously told me that if Alhold wants to call me, they have to go through mom and dad."

　

"Yes, I know, but, this came straight from Grandpa Enlil."

　

"Enlil? That old jackass?"

　

Ufia slightly frowned when she heard me calling Enlil without respect.

　

"Although I'm a little offended by the way you called your own grandfather, but I can't protest. To the point only. Grandpa Enlil wants you to see him."

　

"Tell him this," I responded immediately, without pause. "If he wants to see me, he's the one who came here. I won't come unless he prepares a big reward."

　

"I.u..."

　

Ufia seemed to want to say something, refuting, but no words emerged from her mouth.

　

"From that, you don't have a problem?"

　

　

"I mean, the media reported that you worked with me and the Emir while escorting Jeanne, right? Did they not treat you coldly?"

　

"Ah, that..." Ufia turned her eyes. Despite seeming doubtful, Ufia finally opened her mouth. "You're right. When I got home, my mom and dad interrogated me. Especially after the report I was against big brother. At the very least, I can be a little evasive by saying 'Princess Jeanne's Safety is a priority."

　

"Then?"

　

"Until now, they still treat me coldly. Not only my family, even the extended family, the Alhold family, are the same."

　

Jeanne pouted when she heard the words of Uphia.

　

"I'm sorry Ufia, because of me..."

　

"Pick up...." Ufia shook her head, rejecting Jeanne's apology. "This is my own decision. I'm Regal Knight Princess Jeanne and agent Schneider. I must remain firm on my choice."

　

Ufia and Jeanne threw eyes at each other. The two of them smiled, as if they were in their own world. In fact, I saw a shadow of a flower and a light behind the two of them.

　

"Ehem,"

　

"Ah, yes, Gin."

　

Finally Jeanne and Ufia returned to this world, looking at me.

　

Actually, there was someone else who had just been in another world other than the two of them, me. Apparently, I had to reduce the frequency of reading yuri comics.

　

"Then, what are you going to do?" i asked.

　

"Okay, I'm still weighing." Ufia is confused.

　

Jeanne came in, "what if you stay with me?"

　

"Eh?"

　

"Jeanne, don't give me an alternative too soon" I interrupted. "If at this moment Ufia decides to go with you, the great family of Alhold will assume that she has left her family. In other words, he would not be considered an Alhold family anymore."

　

"Eh? A timing? But you?" Jeanne's still curious.

　

"My condition is different. No, rather, my family's condition is different. Father and Ninlil were the successors of the Alhold family. And again, their aluminum controls are in the special category. The Alhold family still needed their controlling power.

　

"On the other hand, the Ufias are not a special family. His father, and Ufia, had a talent for aluminum, but they have not entered the special category. They're just talented. Their fighting strength is still lacking."

　

Jeanne fell silent. On the other hand, Ufia did not respond at all.

　

"But, Lugalgin, I don't think Jeanne's advice is bad either." Emir got into the conversation. "I mean, if the condition of the Alhold family is indeed like that, there are only 2 ways to eliminate the cold treatment that Ufia receives.

　

"First, Om Barun became the head of the family. Second, Ufia stopped being a Regal Knight and Agent Schneider and returned to the Alhold family."

　

I fell silent, looking at the Emir deeply.

　

"I agree with the Emir." Inanna. "Why? Its simple. The first possibility spoken by the Emir still does not appear when, right?"

　

Inanna half asked, trying to confirm her words. I nodded, giving an answer.

　

Inanna continued, "and again, even though father was the head of the Alhold family, it would be difficult to remove the brainwashing that had occurred for a dozen years. I'm not sure you'll be able to change this situation.

　

"If Ufia took the second choice, she would not be able to escape the Alhold family forever. He'll just be a bird in a cage. Or just a puppet. Yeah, you know what I mean."

　

Inanna called her father-in-law, my father, father. This is because, unofficially, Inanna is already my wife. She had already obtained the consent of father and mother, only her wedding ceremony was left. It was a bit ironic when he called his real father with the title of His Majesty the King, but called his father-in-law with him.

　

How else, even though the father and mother had only met Inanna a few times, they were able to accept Inanna like family members. Father and mother received Inanna warmly and wholeheartedly, giving her affection that Inanna may never have received. Or maybe, more accurately, my mother. Dad, most likely, just followed mom's decision.

　

"Eh, why did you call Om Aaron with dad? You guys aren't officially married yet?"

　

"Ah, that..."

　

Apparently, this was the first time Emir had heard Inanna say that.

　

"It has. Stop the two of you. We're back in Ufia." Although I actually seemed to have switched the conversation, I actually just didn't want to see Inanna being pressured by the Emir. "Yes, even though I said you can't just decide, but you heard them yourself? And, I agree with them."

　

"That's..."

　

"In addition," I added. "After this, when you report that I will not come to see Enlil, the Alholds will definitely claim that you are already on my side. And, chances are, they'll alienate you."

　

Ufia was unable to give an answer. He just lowered his head.

　

I understand his condition. Since childhood, he grew up close to his family. And, even though the knight school had a dormitory, she still met quite often with her family. The condition he was now in was definitely never crossed his mind.

　

On the other hand, I have been forced to be independent since childhood. And again, I also spend a lot of time on the black market.

　

"All right," Jeanne went back in. "I think it's enough up to here that we're talking about Ufia. And, no notice, it's almost lunchtime."

　

I looked at the end of the room, at the wall clock that showed the numbers 11 and 12.

　

"Lugalgin, let's eat to Erech Pasta. I've booked a place."

　

"Heh, not bad." I turned my eyes to the side, to Inanna and the Emir. "How's it?"

　

"No problem."

　

"I don't have a problem either."

　

Emir and Inanna answered in turn.

　

"Then, ayoo...."

　

Jeanne, in spirit, stood up and ran to the entrance. We followed him in the back. As we walked, we talked a little.

　

"Gin," Jeanne called me from the front. "You unemployed?"

　

"Both yes and no." I can't give a definite answer. "I mean, right now, I'm still taking orders for antiques and so on. But, right now the order is quiet. And again, my motivation to work is also minimal because the money from the battle royale continues to flow. So... I look like I'm unemployed?"

　

"Do you ask back?"

　

We got out of the house and I locked it. We walked to the nearest bus stop less than 500 meters away.

　

"If you're unemployed, I have a job you might want to take. It could fill time."

　

My feelings are not good. The last time I received a job from Jeanne, King Fahren and King Arid were behind it. In fact, before that, my meeting with the Emir and Inanna on the highway was the plan of King Fahren and King Arid as well.

　

"What's that?"

　

The emir suddenly ambushed. In fact, I didn't plan on asking him so as not to have to accept it.

　

"Being an instructor in the School of Knights."

　

"No." I gave a quick response to Jeanne's words.

　

"It's not how the Princess is, '" Ufia added. "But I agree with Lugalgin. I mean, Lugalgin's way of fighting doesn't match the knight's code of conduct."

　

Once we were outside, Ufia immediately used polite sentences. On the other hand, the three of us, seemed unconcerned.

　

Actually I still care, but it would be weird if my two future wives, Inanna and Emir, used informal language on Jeanne while I didn't. Although I can actually tell if they are former princesses.

　

"Ah, let me correct." Jeanne repeated her offer. "We need people to select and train the new Schneider Agent from the knight school."

　

Seriate
