I Am No King's

Chapter 35 – Kingdom of Bana'an and the Dark Market

"Please wait here."

　

Me, Emir, and Inanna, were asked to wait. The Emir is the daughter of King Fahren and Empress Rahayu, but by status she is not their family anymore. Therefore, we were in the mansion complex to receive guests who had no administrative affairs.

　

Before, let me talk about the layout of the palace briefly. The Bana'an Palace is not a primitive stone palace like the one in the history books, but a complex of buildings. The interior of the palace is divided into several areas, namely administrative areas, military areas, residential areas, entertainment areas, and core buildings.

　

The battle royale stadium is in the military area while the party room and audience room are in the core building. The core building also serves as the residence of the King and Empress.

　

If you want to enter the palace, the first building you have to go to is the reception building. This building is the first building right after the gate. You should report to the officer about your need to come to the palace. Is the complaint, request a meeting, submission of tribute or tax relief, request for escort, or others? Then, after that, just delivered to the intended area.

　

Normally, for meetings, we have to come twice. First, we fill out a form to find out the party to be met and its purpose. Furthermore, the administration will check whether the meeting can be done with the royal family in question. A week later, people who wanted to meet would return to the palace to check if the meeting could be held. So, according to the normal procedure, the fastest schedule is the week before.

　

A notice of whether the meeting is granted or not is given by mail in a sealed envelope, which must be taken in the guest receiving building. The palace did not give notice online or over the phone to avoid fraud. For the archives, the palace has both offline and online archives.

　

However, this time, since the one requesting the meeting was the Emir, the former princess, we were guided to this building. We were taken to a residential area, where the concubine and her children lived. The mansion building is intended for the royal family to receive guests before being taken to their homes.

　

I went to the bathroom to get a gun. I opened the water holder in the toilet seat and took out a watertight plastic. Inside the watertight plastic was a pair of pistols, a bayonet, and several bullet magazines.

　

This gun is not the one I brought at my Arsenal, but it was provided by Mulisu. I called him last night and told him my condition. And, he stated that he would put the weapon in the bathroom, in the toilet water.

　

However, seeing this condition, where weapons can be smuggled into the palace residential area, the security of this kingdom is really dilapidated. I didn't know because I didn't care. However, since the attack of the person who claimed to be named Kinum, I began to find out the state of this kingdom. And, the results were quite surprising. This kingdom is on the verge of destruction.

　

Yes, I cannot protest anyway because I am the main reason why the Bana’an Kingdom became like this.

　

I returned to the main room where I left the sling bag. The bag contained only one bottle of mineral water. I took out the mineral water and put the gun in. The knife in my leg was confiscated during an examination at the administration building.

　

I dare to take the gun out because there is no surveillance camera or anything. From what I've heard, this is because the royal family doesn't want to have their privacy compromised. However, the effect, is that security is too loose like this.

　

"Where did you get that gun?" Inanna asked.

　

"In the bathroom. I asked my colleague to put it in because I knew that my gun would be confiscated at the gate."

　

"Heh. The security of this kingdom is very dilapidated."

　

"Yes, I don't deny it." I gave the sling bag to Inanna. "The bullet is an ordinary bullet, tin in a steel jacket. So, you can control it too."

　

"Hehe, thank you." Inanna smiled as she received the bag.

　

Unlike Inanna who was curious and asked, Emir just fell silent and looked at the door.

　

Since last night, the Emir has been unable to calm down. In fact, I negated the practice of being her housewife last night.

　

Clack

　

Not long after, the door knob turned. We looked at the door and found four people standing. The four men were Empress Rahayu, Princess Yurika, King Fahren, and one knight.

　

Empress Rahayu and Yurika wore white shirts and long skirts, making their pink hair appear even softer. King Fahren, with his black hair, was wearing a suit in a royal robe. For the knight, he wore a light armor complete with a spear, shield, helmet. On his waist, there was a sub machine gun and a sword.

　

When he saw me, the knight gnashed his molars and squinted his eyes. Apparently, he was one of the people who looked at me. Ung, wait a minute, it seems I've seen his face. Ah, nevermind.

　

On the other hand, I wonder why Zage is not with Princess Yurika. Well, I don't care either.

　

"Ah, Dad, mom, sister."

　

"Ah, dear..."

　

Empress Rahayu was the first to move, grabbing and hugging the Emir tightly. They let go of longing after a few months of not meeting.

　

"Mom misses once."

　

"I miss you too, Mom."

　

Empress Rahayu did not release the Emir. However, after a while, Empress Rahayu finally released the Emir.

　

After Queen Rahayu, it was Princess Yurika's turn and then King Fahren. Like Empress Rahayu, Princess Yurika also embraced the Emir for quite a while. Only King Fahren embraced the Emir for a moment.

　

If the general public saw, they would definitely feel offended. Supposedly, the king first, the new empress and princess. However, it seems, King Fahren did not mind it.

　

"Lugalgin, thank you for bringing the Emir here" Empress Rahayu spoke to me.

　

"No need to thank me. After all, the Emir is my future wife. I can't let him go alone."

　

"Stay, thank you." Empress Rahayu turned her gaze to Inanna. "Is this your future wife given to you by King Arid?."

　

Honestly, I was a bit offended by the word "given" used by Empress Rahayu. He said it as if Inanna was an item. However, I didn't say it.

　

"Good day, I'm Inanna Arc Spicante, daughter of the Concubine of the Filial Arc Spicante and King Arid Kai Behequem."

　

Inanna gave an introduction like a soldier.

　

"Truly charming," King Farhen responded. "Otherwise, he seemed so disciplined. I don't know if her discipline is because she's a concubine's daughter or because of her military background."

　

"Your Majesty the King is too praising."

　

Meanwhile, me and King Fahren threw each other a glance. Unlike others who meet calmly without conflict, we have conflict. Without a word, we threw fierce glances at each other. Not wanting to give up.

　

"Alright," Empress Rahayu interrupted us. "Because the Emir wants to talk to me and Yurika, baby, can you come out."

　

"Oh, okay, baby." King Fahren looked at me. "Lugalgin, don't you want to accompany me? I've prepared tea for us to talk on the porch. Don't worry, this knight will take care of them."

　

"Oh, I'm honored." I threw a glance at Inanna. "Inanna, you stay here, accompany and take care of the Emir."

　

"okay." Inanna responds quickly.

　

"I'm sorry, Empress Rahayu, Princess Yurika, it's not that I don't believe in you and the knight, but I'm worried that there's a sudden attack. Right now, the Emir's condition makes him unprepared to fight."

　

"You're so considerate, Lugalgin."

　

Princess Yurika gave a warm response. On the other hand, the knight's face grew even more sour.

　

King Fahren and I went out, heading to the terrace where a teapot and two glasses of tea were waiting on the table. The top was attached to a large umbrella, blocking the sun from reaching us.

　

"So, what do you want?"

　

"It's cold for you. Don't forget, after all, I am the King of the Bana'an. If anyone hears or sees your attitude toward me, you're already under arrest."

　

"If that happens, it's the same as digging your grave, right? Right now, you're just the King of a kingdom on the brink of destruction."

　

At that time, King Fahren's views became serious.

　

"What do you know?"

　

I explained Bana'an's condition. Bana'an is on the verge of collapse not because of outside factors or society, but because of the black market. Since the tragedy of the Cleinhad family, the intelligence and military power of the Kingdom has fallen dramatically. Therefore, the kingdom could no longer suppress the black market.

　

If the black market world wanted to, in fact, this empire would have been destroyed long ago. However, they cannot just do it. If they destroyed the Bana'an Kingdom, they would not be able to make transactions. Without the government, Bana'an's condition would be chaotic, causing suppliers of goods and clients to stop making transactions.

　

When that happens, only black market organizations transacting in the field of weapons will benefit. For a black market organization engaged in another field? Nah! Black market organizations that are not engaged in the field of arms transactions should therefore keep an eye on black market organizations engaged in that field.

　

　

The condition is that both parties, black market organizations and the government, are looking at each other. However, in my opinion, the gun pointed at by the royal side is an empty gun. Wh why? Actually, if the black market wanted to, they could put another king in Fahren's seat and control Bana'an from the shadows. However, not a single black market organization is capable of doing so.

　

Not because of the tight security of the kingdom, but because it was hindered by other black market organizations. If one black market organization controlled Bana'an from the shadows, they would gain immense power, making it unstoppable. If so, the black market will be controlled and monopolized by one such organization.

　

In other words, the offer from the royal side was accepted not because they had power. However, the royal bid was accepted due to problems and competition among black market organizations.

　

"So, what's the other reason why you want me to be king is because I'm from the black market? You wish I could control all black market organizations and ensure the safety of this kingdom? That so?"

　

King Fahren smiled widely. Not a cynical or wry smile, but a relieved smile. In fact, he leaned back and closed his eyes.

　

If King Fahren really wished that, then, I can say he was a fool. The black market is not that easy. Or maybe he has another agenda?

　

Not long after, King Fahren humbled the body~~~, took something from under the chair, and put the thing on the table.

　

"This is the document you requested."

　

I took the brown envelope on the table and opened it. I took the documents inside and read them quickly.

　

While I was reading this document, King Fahren did not say anything.

　

After a few minutes, I finished reading this document. A few questions came to my mind. And a vexation.

　

"Why are you giving me this document now? Why won't it be when I leave this place?"

　

"The cause of all these events is the contents of that document. The Cleinhad Family was a family that had been guarding this Kingdom from the shadows ever since it stood up. In the past, more than half of the Cleinhad Family members were active schneider agents. I hope that, with you reading that document, you understand how severe this kingdom is. And, as such, I wish you would take over this kingdom from me."

　

How to ask for help in circles.

　

"Is this related to your offer to become Agent Schneider's instructor? What's your purpose?"

　

"That's easy. Because you will need a new Schneider Agent.” King Fahren answered quickly. “Since two years ago, since that tragedy, the recruitment and training of Agent Schneider was taken over by the Azzaha Family. The problem is, only the Cleinhad family understands how the black market world operates."

　

King Fahren continued, "on the other hand, the Azzahas know nothing about the black market. They even recruited people from the knight school to become Agent Schneider. The school of knights was established to dabble in the world of police and soldiers. They are clean people. Not like a schneider agent who has to work in a dirty world. Did you see for yourself how Emir and Ufia are? Jeanne was the last person recruited and trained by the Cleinhad family."

　

Ah, that explains why an Emir who can't afford to lie is chosen to be a schneider agent. And, this is also what causes even the Emir and the Ufia, although unable to withstand the aura of bloodlust or killing intent, can become schneider agents.

　

I'm a little sympathetic to agent schneider's situation. A tad. Very Little.

　

"Before that, I wanted to ask you one thing about this document."

　

"What's that?"

　

"I asked for documents on all matters relating to the Cleinhad family, but, as of this document, only those related to the tragedy."

　

King Fahren was silent for a moment. He squinted his eyes a little, looking at me deeply.

　

"Is that tragedy not the main reason you're asking for this document?"

　

"No! I don't care about the tragedy!" I answered firmly. "What I'm looking for is data on child trafficking victims committed by the Cleinhad family. Who are the transaction partners, the date of the transaction, and most importantly the current whereabouts of the victims!"

　

King Fahren stood up. He looked at me with his mouth and eyes wide open. Cold sweat seemed to flow, drenching his body.

　

"Ka, you..."

　

I continued, "the main reason the six pillars and black market organizations dare to direct the royal fangs is because there is no longer anyone supplying them with children. Without the children supplied by the Cleinhad Family, black market organizations have trouble finding and training new, regenerating people."

　

"Where do you know all that?"

　

I paused for a moment, sipping on this tea that was not hot.

　

"You already know that I'm a black market trader. What makes you think this information won't reach me?"

　

"No way!" King Fahren rejected my question and statement. "Only the six pillars and fifth-grade black market organizations know this information! A anchovy class trader like you doesn't mung–"

　

King Fahren stopped his sentence. The sweat is flowing. In fact, he stepped back, away from me. Apparently, he was beginning to realize one thing.

　

I grinned. "Terrilla class traders?"

　

Seriate

　

　

　

\============================================================

　

　

　

This chapter was uploaded Saturday afternoon. Actually want to upload noon, but the mangatoon web seems to have trouble. It was not accessible this afternoon (safe app seems).

　

Hello Everyone, before giving post-notes and comments, Author would like to thank the likes, comments, and support of the readers. All of this support means a lot to Author.

　

Okay, in this chapter, the story of I am No King has begun to be complicated. Well, the future is even more complicated. Ahaha. However, before discussing the story, the author will hold a comment response session first~

　

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

　

The first topic is about book sales. Honestly, at first, the author sold this book only because there is a circle that offers whether the author wants to sell books in comifuro. So, the author sells the book I am No King on their Stand. If not for the circle, most likely.author did not think to book I am No King.

　

If the book is sold, it will not be sold by the publisher. So, later, the author will print and take care of itself starting from layout, editing, and cover. So, if the quality of the book I am No King is inferior to the novel in general, the Author apologizes in advance. It’s one man show (except illustration and cover. Authors today want to find an artist who is open commission and the style is suitable for illustration. Cover is being worked on by pokarii).

　

If you send it to a publisher, I am No King must be asked to get off the online platform. Hence, despite several offers, Author still had no interest in sending I am No King to publishers.

　

Someone may ask, “Why not find an indie publisher? So let's not need to get off the online platform,”. The main problem is that the I am No King format is Light Novel (paper size A6). And, unfortunately, author ga nemu publisher with A6 paper size. The smallest A5.

　

Well, the plan I am No King ready for print at the end of July anyway because it has to enter printing in August. Since participation in comifuro is arguably just a fad, perhaps, Author will only print 10 books for volumes 1 and 2. For online, maybe later can be a pre order system Tokopedia or shopee. Well, just look at it later...

　

For the response of the second comment is to ask for the added positive side of the Emir because he should be the first wife, not the second. Well, for this one, just look at the chapter that's about to go. By the way. Romance cannot be forced, it must run slowly in order to long lasting. Ehe....

　

For the third comment response is that said, “MC 'abnormal' discarded talented family.well I once knew a groove like this .. well cheers!”. Well, the concept of MC is not normal born in a talented family is indeed quite common. However, for the discarded part....? Well, nevermind. If you want to know more, please read the next chapter :D

　

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

　

Okay, so was the comment response session. Now, a little story.

　

First, Lugalgin's colleague, Mulisu. The mulisu mentioned in this chapter has not yet appeared physically in the story. However, in the previous chapter (19 and 28), Lugalgin had called Mulisu several times. Who her? Look forward to the upcoming chapter.

　

The second part is for the child trafficking section, child trafficking. The author says this topic is very sensitive and the continuation is also sensitive. Most black market-related issues are sensitive issues. Adult content warnings are also activated in this chapter due to discussions about child trafficking.

　

The story I am No King is sensitive and is mature content. So, the Author needs to remind you that this story is just FICTION. Only DESIGN. NOT ARTKEL OR NON-FICTION. Sorry, a few words were written caps. Worry if there are “readers” that do not read full.

　

If there is an illustrator who wants to collaborate comics or create illustrations for I am No King, can contact the author on instagram @renigad.sp.author or facebook ren.igad.33. Or if you want to open commis, you can also contact through the two accounts. For the illustrations of the novel, look for the black and white ones. For the price, only through pm. For the record, currently, the artist whose image is used as a cover is a pixiv artist, ⁇ or QYS3.

　

So, before, the author just took a walk in pixiv, looking for original content, trus pm artistnya. So, the promotion at the end is something that the author does voluntarily because the artist has allowed the author to use the image. So, readers can open the pixiv page and like gallery in https://www.pixiv.net/member.php?id=7210261 or follow his twitter in https://twitter.com/QYSThree. Both can also.

　

Once again, thank you to all the readers who have liked and commented. Your support means a lot to the author.

　

See you in the next chapter

:D
