I Am No King's

Chapter 38 – Unexpected Visit

[Sorry, Lugalgin, can you please repeat? The end is enough.]

　

"Well...." I let out a breath. "It is likely that I will be appointed the head of intelligence of this kingdom. And, when that happens, I'll recruit you as a worker…. And also the instructor."

　

Quiescent. There was no response.

　

Right now, I was walking home from my morning routine while calling Mulisu.

　

All the events I told you in brief over this phone. Starting from my appointment as a king candidate due to family pedigree and incompetent status, problems with both kings, problems with the Alhold family, and my appointment as the head of royal intelligence.

　

Although I said I was appointed because of incompetent status, I did not tell about my ability to eliminate control.

　

[Lugalgin, you're not kidding, are you?]

　

Finally he responded. However, his response has not changed.

　

"Have I ever joked?"

　

[Often!]

　

I'm speechless. Well, it seems I mispronounced.

　

"Good, sorry. But this time, I'm not kidding. Everything I say is serious and true."

　

[Huh.].

　

I could hear Mulisu sighing.

　

[I'll be honest. Honestly, for me, I don't mind. In fact, if necessary, you do not need to look for other incompetents and immediately become king. To them, I'm sure they agree with me. They will obey.]

　

“Are you sure? I mean, I haven't contacted any of you in two years. A few weeks ago, before leaving for Mariander, it was the first time I contacted you, not you. In fact, if if they did not accept my decision and chose to leave, I would not be surprised.”

　

[Gin, believe. They are the last people who will betray you.]

　

Hearing Mulisu's resolute response, I paused and fell silent for a moment.

　

[From them, I question you. Can you accept this decision? To be part of this royal system? Are you sure?]

　

"Honestly, I'm not sure. I don't know. "

　

[Worst case scenario is,] Mulisu connect. [If you are tired and fed up with all that is inflicted on you, you will destroy this kingdom to its foundation. Not leaving anything even the black market.]

　

I'm back walking. "You're saying it as if I'm the demon lord in the novels."

　

[Indeed!] Mulisu answered quickly. [Bana’an is really playing with fire, making you King. The risk is too great.]

　

“Yeah, right. I can't believe Fahren wants to make me King as well because I'm an incompetent.”

　

[There must be another reason.] Mulisu agreed with my opinion. [By the way, I don't want to tell them this. You have to deliver it directly. Ah, gentlemen, you bring two of your future wives, introduce them all.]

　

"Huh?" I raised my voice a little. "Part of delivering directly, yes, I understand and will do it. But, in the section carrying Emir and Inanna, I still don't understand. Can you please explain?”

　

[Look! Sooner or later, once you become the kingdom's intelligence chief and get back on the black market, they'll find out your true identity and ours. If you don't tell them right away, there's a chance they'll betray you. They'll betray you for not being trusted. Have you forgotten about Ukin?]

　

Ukin's. It's been a long time since I've heard that name spoken. Apparently, you still think about it.

　

"Then, I want your help. Can you come to my house and explain this to the Emir and Inanna? I don't like talking about myself."

　

[Hahaha, you're still shy about talking about yourself, huh?] Mulisu responded with laughter. {Ya, can be set. Looking forward to my arrival.].

　

"Yes...."

　

I ended the call.

　

Not long after, I got home. The routine is back to normal. Inanna was ready with breakfast at the dinner table. The emir is also at the dining table, but still wears pajamas that are only buttoned in front of the stomach. All of this gave off the impression that Fahren's decision to make me head of royal intelligence never happened. Or do they not care? Could be.

　

The three of us started breakfast.

　

"Lugalgin!"

　

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the courtyard, forcing the three of us to turn their heads.

　

In the courtyard, behind the window, there was a long dark brown haired woman tied in two, like the sea being parted. A few small spots on her cheeks gave the impression that she still cared about appearance, but could not win against genetics. His black eyes seemed so bright, sparkling, as if he did not bear any burden in his life. The whites made an impression

　

The woman was wearing dark green shorts and a white tank top, which vaguely showed a black bra underneath. The tan line looks on the shoulders, suggesting he is the outdoor type who likes to wear minimal clothing.

　

Seeing this woman standing in the courtyard, I could only slowly massage the temple.

　

"I didn't say I had to today, especially this morning." I whispered.

　

Without anyone's permission, she opened the window, went into the house, and sat down next to me. Of course, he had already taken off his boots before entering.

　

Emir and Inanna fell silent. They threw a glance at this woman, then at me, then at this woman again.

　

"Heh. The appearance of this former princess Emir is erotic as well huh. In fact, I am also a horny woman. Lucky for you Gin can enjoy this view every morning."

　

After hearing this woman's words. The Emir directly covered his chest and waist with both hands.

　

"Hmm, this hour is neat, it looks like it has taken a shower. And, I'll bet you prepared this breakfast! You really are a good fit to be a housewife. Lugalgin's free time will be more because he doesn't have to take care of the house."

　

"Eh, ah, th-thank you."

　

Inanna replied with a downcast look, her face blushing.

　

"Aahaha,"

　

This woman laughed with satisfaction at the reaction of Emir and Inanna.

　

"Lugalgin! Do you know this woman?" The Emir cast a glance at me.

　

"Yes, I know him."

　

"Know? Come on, our relationship is more than that...."

　

This woman approached and placed both her hands on my cheeks. Slowly, his face drew closer. However, our lips had not yet met, a tray was already stuck in front of my face, between our faces.

　

I grabbed the tray and turned, looking at Inanna who was sticking out her hand, using restraint.

　

"Okay, that's enough."

　

I put both hands on this woman's shoulders and pushed her, putting some distance between us.

　

"Hehehe," this woman was still chuckling.

　

I looked back at Emir and Inanna. When I realized, the Emir had buttoned his pajamas. Damnit damnit! Because of this woman, my favorite scenery stopped.

　

"Include, this woman is Mulisu An Kassite. My partner when I was active on the black market. Don't pay attention to her middle and last name. It was just a random name he chose, not a surname."

　

"Include me, my name is Mulisu. In the past, I was a partner of Lugalgin, both on the black market and in ran–"

　

"I asked him to come and explain some things to you. Especially, regarding our plans ahead of us."

　

I interrupted Mulisu before she said bed. I don't want him to throw in a word that's going to make me fuss. If Emir and Inanna hear Mulisu, there is a chance they will feel rivaled and do the same to equalise. What this woman said was a lie.

　

He's not my partner in bed. Never does. No. gabe. Ever.

　

But let me put that aside. Back to the main topic.

　

"I'm writing, I'm still not sure I'm going to tell them about any of this."

　

"Why? You don't want them to know who you really are? What does this mean, you haven't been able to trust them? Do you think they deserve to be your wife? Well, then, I guess, better, I'll marry you because I'm the only one you can trust."

　

Wait, what?

　

Previously, Inanna and Emir had thrown sharp views towards Mulisu. Squabble. But now, they are looking at me. Their eyes that were being pulled down seemed to want to cry.

　

I did not completely dodge Mulisu's words, but I also did not fully justify.

　

"No, that's not what I meant." I looked towards Emir and Inanna, making sure I was delivered. "Just, maybe, it'll be hard for you to believe. Instead of directly telling everything, maybe, better–"

　

"So they learn who you are slowly? Waiting for everything to open on its own? Do you want to repeat the Ukin incident?"

　

The light tone and joking Mulisu disappeared. Now, he pressed his tone and looked at me sharply, deeply.

　

I let out a breath. This woman's words are right. I can't repeat that.

　

On the other hand, what's wrong with this woman? He's not usually this pushy.

　

　

"All right," I'm according. "But, before that." I looked at the Emir. "Emir, you take a shower and get changed."

　

***

　

Now, we sit in the core room. The television across the table we left lit up but with a lowered volume. Just to fill the silence, not to disturb our concentration and attention.

　

I sat in the middle of the sofa with Inanna on the left and Emir on the right. Sitting on the sofa across. Apparently, the Emir and Inanna were still on standby with Mulisu who looked so close to me. Perhaps, they don't want Mulisu to get close to me? Well, I get it.

　

"So, Mulisu, what are you going to tell my two future wives?"

　

"Good! Before that, I want to ask them something." The story opens with a question. "What do you guys know about Lugalgin other than he sells antiques?"

　

The Emir and Inanna saw each other, even though I was among them. They nodded and turned to Mulisu.

　

“”No.””

　

Wow, that's very compact of you. You can say it at the same time. In fact, up to its tone and emphasis.

　

"Lugalgin's record as an antique dealer?"

　

Emir shakes. "No. The information I got stopped at 'oh, that antique dealer? I don't know. As far as I'm concerned he's just an antique dealer. No more.’."

　

"If only a few people say it, we'll believe it." Inanna. "But all the information just gets there. Not more. It's as if the black market agreed not to say anything."

　

After hearing that, Mulisu placed both hands in front of his mouth. I could see her trembling body and her little petals shedding tears. He was trying to hold back his laughter. However, it seems, his efforts are free.

　

"Hahahaha," Mulisu was unable to help but laugh. "You hear that Lugalgin? They assumed the black market agreed not to say anything as if, as it were," Mulisu tried to speak, but instead laughter appeared.

　

The Emir and Inanna looked at each other, then looked at me and tilted their heads slightly. Without saying anything, I could hear them say 'what am I wrong?' in their minds.

　

"Sorry, let it go, I'll continue." Mulisu managed to stop his laughter. "The true answer is, in fact, the black market has absolutely no idea who Lugalgin Alhold is. The name Lugalgin Alhold only appeared and became known two years ago.

　

“And, as per the information, people only know Lugalgin Alhold as an antique dealer because he is indeed only an antique dealer, and not famous."

　

"Eh? It's impossible." Emir refused. "Lugalgin-made items are of high quality. Should have, those items reached–"

　

"Guard ears, right? And, you think, how many collectors are interested in antiques? Just a little collector's antiques in this kingdom."

　

The Emir fell silent, unable to respond further.

　

"So" Inanna responded in place of the Emir. "You're saying Lugalgin is only known as an antique dealer just because he's rarely active on the black market?"

　

"Yep, that's right." Mulisu. "At least, as Lugalgin Alhold."

　

A big smile spread across Mulisu's face.

　

Inanna squinted her eyes. He suspects a smile, and answers, Mulisu.

　

"As Lugalgin Alhold?"

　

"Yes." Yeah."

　

Inanna reiterated Mulisu's statement. Mulisu also gave confirmation.

　

"Wait," I raised my hand, stopped their conversation. "Writing, did you spread any other rumors about me?"

　

"Huh? No. gabe. I haven't spread any rumors."

　

Haven't you? So, you're planning?

　

"Then" I stood up, walked towards the balcony, and opened the window. "This conversation, better, we'll continue next time."

　

"Eh?"

　

I got up and ran to my side. Without needing to point out, Mulisu had already equalized his gaze with mine.

　

"Am I being followed? No. gabe. I'm sure it wasn't followed. In other words–"

　

“She's been stalking this place before.”

　

We looked into the distance. From home, the distance might be about three or four hundred meters. In that place, there was a house whose curtains were slightly open. From the open curtain, a light bounced off, which I assumed came from binoculars.

　

I saw the reflection of the light happen to be bored and looked outwards. If this man had done surveillance at night, and with the lights off, I wouldn't have known.

　

The curtain suddenly closed. Apparently, as soon as we found out the location of the surveillance, he left immediately.

　

"Write, please check the place."

　

"Good!"

　

Mulisu put on his footwear and ran, jumping over the back wall of the courtyard with ease.

　

"What's Gin?"

　

The Emir came to the side with Inanna.

　

"Some one's stalking us."

　

”Eh?”

　

Inanna and Emir yelled at the same time.

　

Not long after, I felt a tremor in the right pocket of the pants. I took the candybar model phone from inside and opened it.

　

The Emir and Inanna were silent when I pulled out a cell phone they had never seen.

　

[Lugalgin, five people, the owner of this house and the family, have been killed. Puncture wound right in the neck. The body is already cold with a body full of urine and feces. They probably died a few days ago.]

　

Then, chances are, that guy's been asking me for a few days but I just know it now.

　

"Well, we'll be there soon."

　

"What's up, Lugalgin?" Inanna asked.

　

"The occupants of the house, five people, were killed."

　

"Huh?"

　

I don't care about the reaction of the two of them. I made another call to Fahren's personal number.

　

[Hi, Lugalgin, what's wrong? Are you willing to accept his position without me needing to provide the documents?]

　

"No," I refused. "Send two schneider agents. One who's been an agent for more than two years, the other one hasn't been there for two."

　

[Huh?]

　

"My house is under surveillance. I don't know if that's the black market guy or the royal guy. And, I guess, I'd like you to compare the qualities of your agents."

　

Seriate

This time, there is not much that the author can discuss, both in terms of comments and in terms of stories. This time, it might be short.

　

For the story, this chapter is not quite weighty, still giggling. Not done Mulisu talk, there are already other problems. However, this chapter is not planned to be too heavy, only a connection between the previous chapter and the upcoming one. And, this chapter is still in Arc 3 – Part 1, has not moved to Arc 3 – Part 2.

　

For those who have traveled to IG, you must have seen who the author makes the benchmark as this Mulisu figure. However, on the other hand, if you go to IG, you will definitely get spoiler. hehe >,<

　

And, as always, the author wants to do the endorsement. Currently, the illustrator whose image is used as a cover is a pixiv, ⁇ or QYS3 illustrator. So, before, the author just took a walk in pixiv, looking for original content, trus pm artistnya. Because it is not the result of a commission, but public content, the author also does not spend money.

　

So, the promotion at the end is something that the author does voluntarily because the artist has allowed the author to use the image even though it has actually become public content. 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.
