Chapter 120: Talking With the Royal Family

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

 

“Fufufu… Let me introduce myself once again… I’m the Second Queen of Aspel, Esther. I’m not Ferdinand’s biological mother but I’ll be very pleased if you can treat me like his real mother.”

 

After prompting us to sit on a nearby chair, Queen Esther began to speak. Just like what she had suggested, I sat on a chair slightly in front of her while Chris-san and Sig-san sat on the chairs behind me. She really gave off the vibe as if blooming flowers were dancing around her. I think the nickname ‘Flower Princess’ would suit her more. Her pink hair and light blue eyes really suit her too. Her slightly droopy eyes also enhanced the gentle vibe around her. 

 

“I am the First Queen of Aspel, Sophia. I’m that boy’s biological mother. That boy, don’t you think he’s a tad bit too stiff? Just who did he take after in the first place?”

 

Queen Sophia tilted her head to the side, she was sitting next to Queen Esther. She didn’t look like someone who already had a 30 year old child. She looked so young and sexy, the wine red dress she wore really looked good on her.

 

“I’m Fer’s older sister, Elsa. The boys Fer is holding over there are my sons, Nicolai and Ole. Well, it’s fine if you learn the children’s names gradually. There are so many royalties present so it must be hard for you to remember all of their names.”

 

Elsa-sama said as she pointed to Fer-san, who was playing with the boys.

 

I really appreciated Elsa-sama for being considerate of me but I really needed to quickly remember all of their names … Since Fer-san was surrounded by such a big family growing up, I could understand why he wanted to have children as soon as possible. 

 

“Your name is Ren, right? I’m Lucien, the crown prince of this kingdom. This is my son, Julius. Fer is the only royalty to become an adventurer. He’s quite an oddball but I hope you will take care of my younger brother well.”

 

The man with sparkling blonde hair flowing smoothly smiled gently. His hair reminded me of Fer-san’s but he had the same golden eyes as Queen Sophia. He looked really refined and elegant. 

 

Wait, crown prince…?! Wow… I’m really meeting with a lot of important figures from this country today.

 

Next to him, there was a boy who looked like he was already in his late teens. The boy had similar hair and eye color to Lucien-sama. The royal family were all very beautiful. The boy looked really handsome too even though he was still young. 

 

“It’s a pleasure to meet all of you. I’m also an adventurer just like Fer-san so even though it’s just for a little bit, it is my pleasure to be able to help him in his line of job.”

 

I smiled as I said that. Even though just for a little bit, I wanted to increase my chance of leaving a good impression. They were all royalty but most importantly, they were Fer-san’s family after all. 

 

“Nice to meet you! Please call me Julie, oh pretty one. If you’re going to become my uncle’s spouse, that means I will become your nephew although nephew in-law. So please do not hesitate to call me Julie!”

 

“E-Ermm….”

 

The boy Lucien-sama introduced to us suddenly came in front of my seat and went down on one knee. He took my right hand and introduced himself to me while urging me to call him Julie. 

 

No,no,no… Even though he’s going to become my nephew later, I just can’t call him by his nickname like this…!

 

“Your Highness Julius, forgive me for speaking out of turn but Ren is feeling troubled because of what you had just said.”

 

“… I understand. Ren, I’d love to get to know you better so please visit the royal capital a lot after you get married with my uncle, okay?”

 

“Yes…”

 

I couldn’t just nod my head to his suggestion and because he was still holding onto my right hand, I was at loss at what to do but luckily, Chris-san came to my rescue. Julius-san finally let my hand go but he still kept the same posture so I was still feeling very uncomfortable. Since he was the son of this kingdom’s crown prince, there was a high chance he’d held a high position in this kingdom. I really wanted to run away from this situation I was stuck in. 

 

“Hey, Julius. You mustn’t inconvenience other people like this.”

 

“Grandmother… Yes.”

 

Unable to just sit still and let this situation pass, Queen Sophia warned Julius-sama. Julius-sama looked reluctant but he obliged and returned to his seat. 

 

Right… Even though Queen Sophia looks so young, she’s already a grandmother. Well, they probably got married early so it’s possible for her to have great-grandchildren in her 50s… That possibility is not uncanny. 

 

“Ren, long time no see.”

 

“Ah, Ed-sama! It’s been a while!”

 

“Who would’ve thought you’d become Fer’s spouse, huh?”

 

“I never thought I’d become Fer-san’s spouse either.”

 

Ed-sama, the person I had met at a town hall in Pedrell, called out to me. 

 

Uwah… I think I haven’t seen him for about… 3 months? He’s still the same handsome, intellectual glasses-type man. Really, just… What’s going on with the standard deviation value of everyone’s face here…

 

“Huh? Edward, you know him?”

 

“Yes. I’ve met him when I was in Pedrell before… Ah, he’s Malik’s adopted son by the way.”

 

Queen Esther asked, tilting her head curiously. Ed-sama then answered her question. Right, right. We met when I was going through formalities in the town hall. It was only 3 months ago but it felt like it had been a long time already. 

 

“Oh! Malik, you said? Me, my elder brother, Ed and… Well, they’re currently not here… Ragnar and Casimir, we all got some sword training from Malik, you know?”

 

Elsa-sama said, she was giggling a little and looking so happy. 

 

“Ah… How nostalgic. He trained us mercilessly without holding back. It was a shame he only trained us for half a year. I wish he could’ve trained us more.”

 

Lucian-sama also nodded his head, looking nostalgic.

 

“I’m sure my father would be pleased to hear that.”

 

Yes, yes. Malik-san is really the father I’m so proud of. It’s not often you can hear a royalty talking about you like this. 

 

Along with Ed-sama, the three of them looked like they had a fun time reminiscing about the old days. 

 

“Ah, right. Ferdinand still has other older brothers, Ragnar and Casimir but they’re both still stuck in the office because they had been procrastinating on their duties. I’m not really sure they will be able to make it today. Also, our youngest princess, Lily, is unable to come because she’s feeling under the weather today.”

 

“I see.”

 

Just like what Queen Sophia had said, there were indeed fewer adults than I had expected today. Maybe their spouses were still with their children because I didn’t see any women around their age… I really wanted to meet Princess Lily at least once since she was half-otherworlder. My future children would be half-otherworlder too so I was curious to see what they were going to roughly look like…

 

“Well in any case, the adult royalty who are available are here… But still, you’re so different compared to that. You’re an adventurer, right? What’s your specialty?”

 

“Yes. I’m a support magician.”

 

She asked, looking happy. I then obediently answered I was a support magician.

 

Queen Sophia looked genuinely impressed at me. She didn’t specify any name but I knew she was talking about Manami-sama. Errr… If I remembered it correctly, didn’t Queen Esther once fall ill because she ate something Manami-sama made? It seemed Queen Esther and Queen Sophia had a really close relationship, so that was why Queen Sophia just couldn’t forgive Manami-sama for that. Well… Judging from Manami-sama’s personality, he must’ve done a lot of other things to add more salt to the wound… 

 

“Oh my, your position fits Ferdinand perfectly, doesn’t it? Also the people who are sitting behind you, the two of you are an adventurer too, right?”

 

Still with the same smile plastered on her face, Queen Esther nodded and asked Chris-san and Sig-san, who were sitting on a chair behind me. 

 

“Yes. Me and Sigurd are magic swordsmen, just like His Highness Ferdinand.”

 

“I see.”

 

Chris-sama answered seriously, unlike his usual sing-song tone. His usual tone sounded really sexy and cool but this side of him also sounded nice. 

 

“Mother Esther, he’s just like Fer. He’s the son of a duke and also an adventurer.”

 

“Oh my, I see. You and Ferdinand must be getting along well.”

 

Ed-sama, who had been talking pleasantly with Lucien-sama and Elsa-sama, overheard our conversation and added another bit of information to Queen Esther. This seemed to have incited Elsa-sama and Lucien-sama’s attention back to us. 

 

“Ah.. The Hast family… So, are you an A-rank adventurer just like Fer too?”

 

“Yes. All of us are A-rank adventurers.”

 

Maybe because there weren’t many high-ranking noblemen who became adventurers, Lucian-sama was able to guess Chris-san’s rank correctly. Chris-san nodded at Lucian-sama’s question. 

 

“Fumu, you too?”

 

The king, who had been staying silent all this time, suddenly asked me. He was resting his chin on his hand. Being on the receiving end of his curiosity made my hand break into cold sweat. 

 

“Y-Yes. The other day, I had just taken the promotion exam to become an A-rank adventurer.”

 

I couldn’t reply with much confidence because it had just been two days since I was promoted. I didn’t have any actual experience of being an A-rank adventurer yet. 

 

“Oh my… Even though it’s only been 5 months since you first came to this world… Ren, you’re really incredible. And so? The three of you each have your own nickname, right? Fer’s nickname is Ice Prince, right? Fufufu… When I first heard his nickname, I couldn’t stop laughing!”

 

Elsa-sama looked really… Really happy…. She chuckled happily while covering her mouth, remembering Fer-san’s nickname. 

 

Ahhh… So this is where they asked me that question…! Can I really tell them myself…? Saying it myself it’s… It’s so difficult for me to do! But… Since the princess herself asked me that, I can’t back away now… 

 

“…. My nickname is… Lightning Twin Sword Chris…”

 

“As for me… It’s Silver Wolf…”

 

“Fufu~ Your nickname is really not losing on Fer’s nickname, Ice Prince.”

 

“So? Ren, what about you?”

 

Elsa-sama’s smile deepened as she heard about their nickname. Somehow, I felt like she was secretly a sadist. Queen Sophia then turned her head to me, asking me about my nickname. I began to prepare my resolve to answer her. 

 

“…… It’s Black Flower Princess.”

 

“Huh? I’m sorry, can you please say it again?”

 

Elsa-sama asked.

 

I should have been prepared to answer this question but despite that, saying my own nickname out loud was still too embarrassing. My voice was too low for them to hear properly. 

 

“It’s Black Flower Princess!”

 

I answered in a louder voice this time. I couldn’t change it anyway. All I could do now was to accept it…. Haah… 

 

“Oh my! Oh my my! How adorable!”

 

“Truly! The one who gave you that nickname really knew you well.”

 

“What a wonderful nickname you have.”

 

The women praised me and said my nickname was adorable and wonderful but honestly, I didn’t feel happy at all hearing all that. 

 

“Ah… Well… It suits you.”

 

“R-Right. Your hair and eyes are black after all.”

 

“Ren, I’m sure you’ll get used to it before long…”

 

The king and the other men threw sympathetic gazes toward me. Their comment also held the same sentiment as their gazes. 

 

I wonder why… The men and women had a different reaction toward my nickname…

 

“Flower Princess… So cute… Why did…”

 

For some reason, Julius-sama was blushing and muttered to himself. His voice was too low for me to hear. 

 

“Oh! That’s right! Mother, please lend me your ear for a moment!”

 

“What is it?”

 

“───────”

 

“───”

 

“─────────”

 

Elsa-sama suddenly clapped her hands and beckoned for Queen Sophia and Queen Esther. The three of them began to whisper with each other. 

 

Huh? What is going on? Somehow I have a bad feeling about this…

 

“Fer! I’m going to borrow your Ren for a moment! It’s fine! I won’t hurt him!”

 

“Huh? Huh??”

 

After they finished with their secret discussion, Elsa-sama suddenly stood up from her seat and said that to Fer-san. 

 

Huh? Borrow? Me??

 

「「Your Majesty?!」」

 

“Big sister?! What are you planning to do?!”

 

Chris-san and Sig-san looked surprised at the sudden turn of events and Fer-san, who had been playing with the children a bit further from us, looked equally flabbergasted as well. He quickly rushed to our side. 

 

“You’ll have to wait to know! The two of you too, please be rest assured. I’m sure you will like it. Now then, let’s go, Ren.”

 

“Huh? Huh? Wai- Huh?”

 

Facing the three of us, Elsa-sama smiled. She then grabbed my hand firmly and pulled me up from my seat. She then started to drag me toward the door. She was holding onto me so tight that I couldn’t even budge. I looked at the three of them over my shoulder as I was dragged away by Elsa-sama but my vision was obstructed by Queen Esther who was smiling broadly and Queen Sophia who was smiling suspiciously. The two queens were also following behind us as we left the room. 

 

Just… What are they going to do to me…?

T/N: Oooh, I wonder what they’re going to do with Ren? Princess Elsa seems like a sadist so I’m sure Ren will suffer later but the other three are definitely going to enjoy it immensely~ ¬‿¬
