Three Second Things

The next morning Daru immediately returned to the inn to compensate for the damage he caused last night. He was also moved to another room and asked not to damage anything else.

He is currently walking towards the palace to meet King Gustave Edelgard.

"Stop! Show me your identity and tell me why you want to enter the palace!" shouted one of the guards when he saw Daru approaching the palace gate.

Daru took out a delegation letter scroll and said, "I am Daru, the envoy from the Resia Kingdom."

The guard's gaze towards Daru changed, he said, "Can I see the delegation letter?"

Daru handed the scroll to the guard and the guard went straight to his superior.

A while later, the guard returned to his original place with an old man with a fierce face. Just from the look in his eyes, Daru knew that the old man was really strong.

The man approached Daru and looked from the tip of the hair to the tip of Daru's feet. Since Daru was not wearing clothes that signified an aura of nobility, the old man was a little suspicious.

"Can you tell me your purpose of meeting King Gustave?" ask the old man.

"Aren't we supposed to go through the introductory session first, old man," Daru replied.

"My name is Trevor, I am the leader of the guards in this palace" said the old man.

"My name is Daru, I am a messenger from the Kingdom of Resia, regarding my purpose of meeting your king, it is a secret." Daru smiled.

"Sorry, you don't look like a messenger. I suspect your delegation letter is a fake. Do you have any proof of authenticity?" ask Trevor.

Daru then took out the Lionness Family gold plate and threw it at Trevor.

"How about that? Come on, your king must have scolded you if it kept delaying my business."

Now that Trevor's expression had changed, there was no more aura of indignation on his face. He said, "I'm sorry for delaying your time, please follow me."

Trevor returns Daru's gold plate politely before escorting Daru to the throne room.

The throne room of the Kingdom of Saria is very magnificent, the walls are decorated with gold carvings, the floor is made of white marble, and there was a long red carpet from the entrance to the seat of the throne that was quite high.

On the throne seat, a middle-aged man was sitting down and a few people dressed luxuriously stood in front of him. The man was the King of the Kingdom of Saria, Gustave Edelgard.

"Your Majesty! The Royal Envoy of Resia has come," shouted someone from behind the giant closed door.

King Gustave frowned because he had not been given any news about the previous messengers of the Kingdom of Resia.

"The mouth of the Resia Kingdom came suddenly, does anyone know why?" king Gustave asked those who stood before his throne.

"I'm sorry, Your Honor, we don't know anything about it" one of the men replied.

"Send him to come here!" king Gustave shouted to the man who spoke from behind the door earlier.

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

"All of you are marching to greet the messenger" commanded King Gustave.

The people in front of King Gustave were immediately lined up outside the red carpet.

The Kingdom of Saria was the smallest kingdom among the six kingdoms in the Continent of Isla. Due to the limited land, the Kingdom of Saria had very little resources, only gold could be said to be the main resource of the Kingdom of Saria.

No kingdom wants cooperation with the Kingdom of Saria because the Kingdom of Saria only offers gold as a means of transaction. However, all that changed after the war between the Vradarian Kingdom and the Resia Kingdom broke out. The Kingdom of Resia needed a new bilateral relationship after experiencing oversupply because the kingdom of Resia cut off economic relations with the Vradarian Kingdom. It was then that the Kingdom of Resia and the Kingdom of Saria decided to cooperate in the field of economics. Coupled with the actions of Daru who made gold in the Kingdom of Resia reduced, making the two kingdoms mutually beneficial. That was why King Gustave ordered his people to welcome Daru.

Daru is guided by Trevor entering the throne room. When he entered the throne room, everyone who was inside the throne room looked at Daru badly, they began to doubt Daru's identity as a messenger.

How could someone dressed like that be the envoy of a Kingdom? I think most people are there.

"Your Majesty, I have brought the emissary of the Kingdom of Resia" Trevor said, kneeling before King Gustave.

After hearing Trevor's words, everyone believed that Daru was really a messenger, they believed Trevor completely.

Unexpectedly, Daru's next action was completely overdue.

"Mr Gustave, my name is Daru, the envoy from the Kingdom of Resia," Daru said as he nodded slightly to King Gustave.

They were astonished by Daru's attitude which did not show respect to the king as it should be. Trevor who knew Daru's actions immediately stood up and drew his sword.

"How dare you harass King Gustave by not kneeling down and calling 'His Majesty', even if you are from Resia, does not mean you can do as you please!" trevor shouted as he brought the tip of his sword closer to Daru's neck.

"He's not my king, why should I worship him?"

"Come to King Gustave or I'll cut off your head right now!" threaten Trevor with an angry expression.

"Haha, behead me? Just try it, and I make sure your king will continue to be tormented every night until the end of his life" Daru said with a big smile trying to show his superiority.

The expression of King Gustave who had been watching quietly changed to full of surprise after hearing Daru's words which he believed were referring to his illness.

"How dare you curse King Gustave! I'll cut you off!" Trevor swung his sword towards Daru's neck.

Before the sword touched Daru's neck, King Gustave raised his hand and shouted, "Stop!"

However, it was too late, Trevor swung his sword at full force, so he could not make it stop.

Suddenly, a broken metallic sound rang out. Everyone was shocked when they saw Daru holding the broken sword tip using only his thumb and index finger, while Trevor held the broken sword.

"Oh, aren't you loyal to your king? Then why did you continue your swing of the sword when your king ordered it to stop?" daru said as he dropped the broken end of Trevor's sword.

He's monster! trevor thought.

Trevor then faced King Gustave and knelt down, then he shouted, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty!"

"Forgot that" King Gustave told Trevor.

King Gustave then turned his gaze towards Daru and said, "Your name is Daru right? Follow me, I want to talk to you four-eyes."

"Sure, Mr. Gustave." Daru followed King Gustave who walked away from the throne room. Before he stepped out, he said, "Trevor, you are strong, but your sword is not."

Trevor who was still on his knees heard Daru's words clearly, he felt annoyed.

On the way, Daru looked at the middle finger of his left hand which was now blue.

That hurts, damn it! Fortunately, I was still able to act strong in front of them. Otherwise, I would definitely die from embarrassment, Daru thought.

As Trevor swung his sword towards Daru's neck earlier, Daru clamped down on Trevor's sword blade with his thumb and forefinger and tapped his middle finger onto the sword's back. The clasps and knocks were loud enough that it could break the sword Trevor was proud of.

Daru arrived at a room with King Gustave after walking for a few minutes. The room was quite wide with chairs and tables neatly arranged.

"Sit down" said King Gustave.

Daru sat down before King Gustave. Before Daru said a single word, King Gustave said, "Tell me where do you know about my illness."

"Rather than asking the origin of my information, it's better to ask about how to cure it, right?" Daru responded with a smile.

"You know how to cure it? I've been suffering from this disease for two years now, until now there is no doctor who can cure me." King Gustave stroked his forehead with a lethargic expression.

"Calm down, Mr. Gustave. Before that, there was a letter from Uncle Vanir to you" Daru said as he handed over a personal letter from King Vanir to King Gustave.

King Gustave's brows furrowed after hearing Daru's way of summoning the King of the Resia Kingdom, Vanir Lionness.

"Uncle Vanir?" ask Gustave to make sure.

"Yep, Uncle Vanir Lionness," Daru replied lightly.

"Hahaha, I don't know why he let you call him that. Interesting, very interesting" said King Gustave, laughing out loud before opening a letter from King Vanir.

The letter was written about some pleasantries and King Vanir's request to make a letter of delegation to the Vradarian Kingdom for Daru. When King Gustave read the last sentence, his eyebrows shot up.

"According to what he wants and I will make sure you have nothing to lose" King Gustave quoted the letter as saying.

"Tell me, Daru, what are you doing so King Vanir has such a high view of you" added King Gustave.

"Well, some small things in the past, such as the rescue of Rennesia, the failure of the coup, and the conquest of several Nobles Families," Daru said lightly

King Gustave was again surprised, he found out about the Princess of the Kingdom of Resia who disappeared for six months and caused wars to break out between the two friendly kingdoms. Then after the Princess was found, there were some facts that were revealed and ended with Verza Lionness thrown into prison for an attempted coup.

"That's all you did?" asked King Gustave astonished.

"I'm involved with all of that" Daru replied calmly.

"Hahaha, then, you didn't come just to cure my illness and ask for a delegation letter right?"

"You're a really rational person. Of course not, Mr. Gustave. Have you heard of the concept of equivalent exchange? You have to give up wood so you can get charcoal, you have to give up seeds in order to get a tree," said Daru meaningfully.

"What is my health equivalent?" ask King Gustave.

"Three things," Daru replied with a big smile.

"It will be interesting, you name it," asked King Gustave.

"First, I want to plant a teleportation portal connecting Waterfall City with Sarren Hill in the south, it doesn't absorb any of the user's mana and it's guaranteed to be safe without any risk of intrusion. I'd like Mr. Gustave to give you permission and guarantee that no criminal or military is wearing your Royal insignia using the portal."

"I just heard about the existence of a teleportation portal that can be planted ..., and why Sarren Hill? What's up there?" ask King Gustave.

"Regarding the teleportation portal, it is indeed a thing I created myself with the help of Master Xavier, a disciple of Lord Jullius. And about Sarren Hill, there's my shop, Mr. Gustave. I sell things like this" Daru replied as he pulled out a pack of cigarettes and matches from his dimension ring.

"This is called a cigarette, a magical object that makes users feel the sensation of calmness. Would you like to try it, Mr Gustave?"

"How is it?" ask King Gustave.

Daru also explained about how to enjoy a good and true cigarette. After King Gustave did what Daru showed, he raised his eyebrows in shock at the taste of the cigarette.

"That's amazing! Ahaha!" shouted King Gustave in excitement.

Daru smiled slightly then continued to talk about his request.

"Secondly, I want Mr. Gustave to give cigarettes to the influential figures in Waterfall City and gather those figures to meet me, he said, I will invite them to Sarren Hill to see and try my other products" Daru said.

"Haha, that's easy. So what's the last thing?"

"Just consider the last thing as a debt to me," Daru replied with a smile.

"Whatever it is, as long as I can heal," said King Gustave.

"Alright, I'll tell you how to cure your illness." Daru inhaled a deep breath and said, "Sun."

King Gustave with his flat expression looked at Daru and said, "Did I look that stupid you dare to fool me?"

"Of course not, Mr. Gustave. I'm telling the truth. When was the last time you were out in direct sunlight?" ask Daru.

King Gustave pensively thought about Daru's question, then suddenly his face deteriorated.

"That was ..., 3 years ago," replied King Gustave with an even worse expression.

Daru's expression also worsened after hearing King Gustave's reply.

What kind of person has not been exposed to sunlight for 3 years!? said Daru in heart.

"Ehm, you can sunbathe regularly starting today, after your condition improves, then the two requests I mentioned earlier You can grant. Please let me know when that time has come, I will always be at Tracker's Inn" Daru said.

"Alright, I will start trying your advice today," replied King Gustave with a still ugly expression.

Daru says goodbye and returns to Tracker's Inn.
