I Am No King's

Chapter 313 – Boy Friends

The expected day has arrived. Now, I stand in front of the house, waiting for the vehicle to pick up.

I don't know since when, but carrying an arsenal has become a habit. Today, without the arsenal chest, my back feels empty, lonely. Although security was assured because the influential elements of the kingdom protected me, there was still a sense of anxiety.

In the past, before my involvement on the black market became public consumption, I often felt anxious about not carrying an arsenal. A few months ago, when I started carrying the arsenal chest even in broad daylight, I started to calm down.

Finally, a long car came. This car is bulletproof and impermeable, making me unable to feel the air of anyone inside. This car is a rare item. In fact, the government of the kingdom of Bana'an does not have a car as fast as this.

Normally, I'll be on standby. Could someone else come and try to kill me? However, I know very well who sent this car. As far as I know, there are only 3 units of this car in Bana'an. And, everything, is owned by Akadia.

The car door opened, revealing a familiar figure.

"Come in, Gin."

"..."

I was speechless when I heard the sound of a well-dressed figure behind the door, Arde.

"Don't dumbass! Come inside!"

"Ah, yes ..."

I followed and got into the car.

Arde is a member of Akadia. So, it should be, this is a natural thing. However, even so, mom should have told me. Yesterday, all day, Arde didn't come home. I don't think he's sanctioning my marriage.

"Why are you quiet? So stiff. Nervous?"

"Ah, um, actually..." I take my eyes off. Dare not look Arde in the eye.

"... Illuvia and Maila?"

I'm nodding.

"..."

Arde did not respond immediately. He also turned his eyes to the window. However, it did not take long for Arde to eliminate this silence.

"Honestly, I was very sad when I heard the information that Illuvia and Aunt Hervia were killed in the fight that night. And, I was also sad when I heard about Maila's condition. I was thinking of visiting and asking Maila for an explanation after her condition was normal. However, as it turns out, Malia has been taken by her family, leaving Bana'an for good."

"Maybe this sounds insensitive and self-informed, considering I'm the one who made them both experience all of that, but why didn't you come to me yesterday?"

"Because you're not the Lugalgin I know."

Honestly, I want to be shocked and stunned. However, I have no rights. Arde's words are correct. The figure of Lugalgin that I showed in High School is another Lugalgin, not Lugalgin who plunged in the black market.

"Gin, do you mind if you tell me who you really are? And, what makes Illuvia and Maila have to deal with you?"

"Honestly, if you ask for a full story, it will take a long time. It can be all day or even longer. However, if you want to summarize, briefly ... "

I stopped for a moment. No. gabe. I'm not worried that Arde will leak this information. He was my best friend during High School. And, I believe he can keep a secret. Plus she works at Akadia, which is mother's. What I'm worried about is the driver.

"Don't worry. The driver of this car is Mr. Marlien. And this car has no recorder at all. Your secret is safe."

Because this car is so tight, I can't feel the presence of a driver separated by a barrier. So, I just found out that the driver is Marlien. If Marlien ever knew the ins and outs of the black market and my identity. So, I guess, it's okay to tell Arde now.

"Okay, I gave you a short story. I am Sarru, the founder of Agade. In order to fulfill the promise, I tried to eliminate child trafficking in Bana'an. Maila and Aunt Hervia as child trafficking advocates fight back. They thought my idea would destabilize the government. Discussion failed. Aunt Hervia would rather die than obey. Maila confronts Inanna but loses. The effect is that he was seriously injured. For Illuvia, she did not accept me making Emir and Inanna a future wife. Illuvia almost killed the Emir, I was forced to kill him."

"..."

Arde was silent, blankly looking.

Is my story too solid? Or difficult to digest? Or maybe he doesn't believe it? Yeah, no surprise anyway. I mean, a story for months, composed of dozens or even hundreds of events, condensed into a few sentences. Of course he's dizzy. Actually, I want to sum it up to less than 20 words. However, it seems impossible. Or maybe?

"No. Your friend Lugalgin is me, Lugalgin Alhold. However, the Lugalgin you know is not the whole Lugalgin, only a part. Believe this. I never lied to you."

I actually just wanted to say "never lie". However, I often lie when things are forcing. So I added "to you". Arde was the first person who never accepted my lies. I still lied to Illuvia and Malia a few times. The Emir and Inanna still accepted my lies at the beginning of the meeting. However, I never lied to Arde. I just didn't say the whole thing.

"Are you angry with me?"

Arde shook his head, "I have no right to be angry. There is a part of me you don't know. So, I think we're even."

Actually, I know all about you, Arde. However, I won't spoil the atmosphere and say it. And, this is not a lie. If I don't say anything, I'm not lying.

"Gin, I joined Akadia because the father told me how Akadia was able to become the Six Pillars without trading children. I admire Akadia for this. If aunt Hervia and Maila were against it, without you, I might be the one to confront them. And, for Illuvia, I can only say love blinds logic."

As Arde said sooner or later, without Agade, Akadia would be the one to face Orion. However, thanks to my presence and Agade, Akadia never faced Orion. Akadia just faced off with Quetzal. So, I spared Arde from his scenario against aunt Hervia and Maila.

"Someday, if all these conflicts are over, will you share your life story?"

"of course. My door will always be open for you."

Arde smiled lightly. "Thank you, Gin."

Car stopped. I opened the door and got out of the car. We didn't stop in front, but behind the building.

"Come on, hurry!"

"Come Brother Lugalgin!"

Ninlil and Ninshubur are waiting. The two of them immediately pulled both of my hands, leaving the car.

"Congratulations on your marriage, Gin."

"Thank you, De."

Not many know, but Arde's congratulations mean a lot to me. He's not a member of Agade who feels indebted to me. Arde is also not a person of interest. He's also not like other High School friends who didn't know about my involvement in the black market. In fact, Arde already sees my figure as a High School boy. A figure never witnessed by the Emir, Inanna, or Rina.

In the future, as Arde is active in Akadia, he will come into contact with me often. I wouldn't deny that people say Arde will be the best friend who knows me best. Yeah, I'm not gonna deny it.

Seriate
