Nightfall.
“Pesta, yes. There has been no party in this kingdom for a long time.” In a few days, Ai's pregnancy party was held. “They must have worked hard preparing this.”
Party preparations were also made.
A few days later at the night of the party.
This was the day, the entire noble family as well as the kings came to this feast. Out of any kingdom they are, and not just that. The people were also present at this party, it was because this party was opened to the public.
“Hiroaki, are you ready?” (Emilia)
“Ya.” And then again, since this is an important event I have to wear the clothes that I dislike the most. The king's clothes. Her clothes were so heavy with a very thick coat, and also this crown, it probably weighed almost ½ kilograms.
“ATTENTION... HIS MAJESTY THE KING WILL SOON ENTER THE ROOM!!” (soldier) Given such cues, I slowly entered into the area of the royal hall that was used as the party venue tonight.
“See, very young..”
“What he is right a king.” It's said that way, somehow I feel ostracized. But, who said it was not from the kingdom I knew, but another kingdom I never knew. So... “Already.” I am 18 years old, a king and a father. Maybe it's not bad either.
I sat on the throne seat, and was told to say a word as the opening of this event.
------------------
“Haa.. Finally done.” My little speech is over, I don't know what I was talking about. But, it can finally be finished. “I'm still not used to talking in front of the crowd.”
“If it's like that, you should get used to it. Because maybe after this, you will be more often various places and meet many people.” (Emilia)
“Ha...” The person who accompanied me here was Emilia and Rin, while Sia kept Ai in her room. Ai still can't do excessive activities, because she just recovered from a pain that I don't know what.
“Hi-chan, you've been working hard. Here's your drink.” Rin returned with a drink.
“Thank you. Oh yes, Lia and Inori. Where are they both?” I don't see them both here at all.
“Lia is in Ai's room, she says she wants to take care of Ai, and Inori seems like she's with her schoolmate.”
“Once, yes.” I just remembered that Inori had already entered school, and it was only natural that she would play together with a friend of her age. “Today is the happiest day for me.”
“Not just for you, but also for us.”
“True too. Therefore, I do not want this happiness to be destroyed. I want to keep it whatever happens.” And for some reason, I saw what the god Sha had said back then in my head. 'Being a god, yeah.' By becoming a god, I can protect my family, and also this happiness. “Ha.. Never mind.” If there was no other way, I would probably do it. But if there is any other way than that, why not.
A few minutes later.
Music began to play. “Your Majesty the king, would you like to dance with me.” (??) A girl suddenly came up to me and immediately asked me to dance.
“Ehhh...” I don't know who he is, and suddenly just ask me to dance.
“Ahh... I'm sorry, previously I wanted to introduce myself. I am the princess of the Selvian kingdom. My name is Sylvia, the eldest daughter of king Thorea, and queen Eria.”
“B-So...” I have absolutely no idea where the kingdom is, but at least I have heard the name of the Selvian kingdom. If not wrong, the kingdom is allied with the kingdom of Sylv, the kingdom of Emilia's father. “I'm sorry, but I've never danced before.” This is my first time dancing, so I'm not so sure of my ability.
“Just relax, I also first danced.”
“B-So..” If it's like that, why would he ask me to dance.
I held her right hand with my left hand and brought her closer to me. “A-What is this right?” It's my first time doing this, and it's obvious it makes me quite nervous, let alone this with someone else I don't know at all.
“Good, your majesty the king. You can move around and slowly.”
“B-Good.” I followed what he said. “M-Sorry.” I accidentally stepped on his foot.
“T-It's okay. We repeat again.”
“B-Good..”.
“M-Sorry, I did it again.” I don't know how many times I've stepped on her foot.
“No problem noble, you are still in the learning stage. Things like this are common.”
Even though he said he was dancing for the first time, he looked better than me. “Sorry yes, it looks like we should end it.”
“Yang noble, what's up?”
“Nothing.” I don't want to hurt her anymore, that's enough. And it looks like I have to practice a lot more when it comes to dancing.
“AAHHHHHHH!!” (??) Someone shouted, and instantly the atmosphere here that was previously very calm changed. And because of that, I went straight to him.
“What's up?” The one who shouted that was a conglomerate (woman) from the Sylv kingdom.
“The soldier...” I looked at him.
“Hey, are you okay?” The soldier was wounded. “What happened to you?”
“P-Paduka... P-Iblis Squad, they attacked together thousands of monsters. From the main gate..”.
This special day is ruined, a day I don't want to destroy, destroyed. “Rin, please heal him.”
“Good.”
“Hiroaki, where are you going?”
If seen, he was an elite troop and was injured that badly. The enemies they were fighting were definitely very numerous.
“R-Thousands.. This place is already surrounded.” (??)
“A-What should we do?”
“The soldier said thousands of monsters..”.
Everyone here was panicking to hear that thousands of monsters and demons were attacking this place. “You don't have to panic. I'll do something.”
“Hiroaki, what are you going to do?”
“Our soldiers will not be able to defeat all of them, so.. I will go forward.”.
“Don't act stupid... Fight demons and monsters that much..”.
“If it was me, maybe it would be impossible. But at the moment, such a thing will not be a problem.” I slowly walked out of this room. “Rin, if you have healed him, come to the main gate and heal the wounded troops there.”
“Good.”
“Then, I'll help.” That voice, that voice is familiar to me.
“Garden, Leona.”
“Yo, long time no see. From an inexperienced boy and now you're a king. That's very awesome.” (Garden)
“That's right, I was surprised to hear that you built your own kingdom.” (Leona)
Garden and Iona, I didn't think they'd be here. “Then, I will also join.” And again a voice familiar to me.
“Shin, Felicia.. You are also here.”.
“Hahaha... I heard that you had a party, so I came here.”
“Thanks.” Whether it needs it or not, but if there is anyone who would be willing to accompany me I will gladly accept it. Even so, I acknowledge their strength is far above that of ordinary adventurers, and may be close to approaching hero-level classes for Garden as well as Leona, as well, as for Shin and also Felicia it was probably more of a hero grade level within the adventurer guild level.
“Alright... Let's go.”
