“So? The both of you seems to be having a very fun conversation, what are the both of you talking about?” Elena asked the question towards the old man Kyron and Slime. Her voice is not small, but since the children are making a ruckus while they’re eating their dinner, the sound of her voice couldn’t help but get reduced.
But for Slime and the old man Kyron, it’s not just because they have a keen hearing, but because the two girls before them are staring at them with eyes full of curiosity.
“Yes, the both of you are talking for hours. I wonder what the both of you are talking about,” Sera followed suit.
(After they spent two hours inside the room, Elena and I got interested in what kind of talk they’re having. But when we tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, we couldn’t even hear a thing! He must be blocking it with a spell to prevent us from eavesdropping! It means that the conversation is important enough that nobody else may know it!!!) (Sera)
(But since it seems very important) (Elena)
(We want to know!!!) (Elena and Sera)
“It’s not that important. But it’s rather surprising for you to be here at this kind of hour, princess. Aren’t you supposed to be back at the capital already?” Slime calmly responded and attempted to change the topic.
“Well, it is. But, it doesn’t matter since I’m currently free and have no tasks or any appointment, so I’m thinking of spending my time here. Do you have any problem with that?” (Sera)
“I don’t, just a pure curiosity, princess,” (Slime)
“But well, I’m also curious about the conversation you’re having with grandpa. Could you tell me what the both of you are discussing?” Sera won’t follow Slime’s plan of changing the topic.
(Hmph! I won’t let you off just like that! For you, a foreigner to be having a long conversation with the old guardian of the great Grandaria kingdom, of course as the princess of this kingdom, I need to know what the both of you are talking about!) (Princess)
“Hm… Well, sir old guardian?” Slime threw the responsibility to answer towards the old man Kyron.
(Ugh… You cold-hearted brat! You think I could easily say to the girl that I consider as my own granddaughter that I’m going to leave this kingdom and go to the new empire that just appeared out of nowhere!? She’ll feel like she’s being betrayed by me, won’t she!?) (The old man Kyron)
(Just spilled it already, old man!) (Slime)
(You’re so evil, master. To let an old man do such a thing…) (Fenrir)
(What an example of darkness…) (Reo)
(W-wha!? D-don’t get admired by it, Reo… It’s making me feel more like a villain…) (Slime)
“Hm… I’m also interested. So what are you talking about inside your room, grandpa? You seem to be having a very joyful conversation that the both of you only showed up when dinner, after all,” Elena backed Sera up.
The both of them stared at the old man Kyron with kitten eyes as they beg the old man to spill what kind of thing they’re talking about inside his room.
“Ugh… So we… I…” (The old man Kyron)
The old man Kyron took a deep breath and decide to tell them.
“I’ve decided to take the kids together with me and leave the Grandaria kingdom, princess,” The old man Kyron said towards Sera with a firm look.
“Y-you what, grandpa? Y-you’re leaving…?” Sera’s voice shook a little her head is still processing the new information she just heard from the old man Kyron, her teacher, her mentor, and the one who she considers as her own grandfather.
“Yes… No matter how strong I am, the current Grandaria kingdom is too dangerous for the kids. They’ll keep on facing danger if we stayed here as countless people will always try to challenge me and they might use the kids as hostages,” (The old man Kyron)
“I believe I’ve already more than fulfilled the promise I made for the kingdom. And now, the kids are more precious to me than this kingdom. While I do love you and this kingdom. But my attachment towards this kingdom had long gone,” (The old man Kyron)
(Old man…) (Slime)
“The only reason why I’m staying at this kingdom is to protect you, if not, I would have left this kingdom since three years ago,” (The old man Kyron)
(Three years ago… The year of Ren’s disappearance…) (Elena)
“B-but, I’m still here, right? Didn’t you say that you’re here because you want to protect me? Does it mean that you’ve decided to abandon me, grandpa!?” Sera asked the old man Kyron as a tear started to drop from her eyes.
“No. I haven’t neglected my duty of protecting my beloved granddaughter. I’m not abandoning you, but I’m leaving you with someone I trust, Sera,” The old man Kyron said with a kind smile.
“Someone… You trusted…?” Sera muttered the words as she tried to process who is the person.
“You don’t need to know who he is, but I believe that one day, you’ll realize that all of this time, you, no, all of you have been protected and observed by him. Well, he’s quite an annoying and arrogant brat, you see. But he’ll appear when you need him the best,” Said the old man Kyron with confidence.
Elena and Sera didn’t take a glance at Slime, their head is filled with the picture of the man that had saved the both of them. The one that always smiles and came out with all kinds of solutions.
Ren Arken.
“I see… Since you decided this after talking with Mr. Slime, it means that you’re going to the Tarot empire, right?” Asked Sera as she grips the end of her clothes harder.
“Yes, you’re right, Sera,” (The old man Kyron)
“I see…” (Sera)
Pat!
“Eh?” (Sera)
The old man Kyron’s caring hand pats the winter princess’s head. She had been giving her all and tried her best to protect her kingdom. She had removed her emotions towards the corner of her mind for her to able to focus and avoid giving up.
And now.
She’ll do the same thing she had been doing. Even though the tears are ready to gush out from her eyes, she tried her best to stop them and prevent them from coming out.
(It might be hard for me to meet Grandpa, Elena, and the others after this, huh… To lose even grandpa… Did we even still have any chance to face the upcoming dangers?) (Sera)
“It’ll be fine. I’ll rush here if anything happened and help you, and even more, you’ll get a piece of bigger good news because of my leave,” (The old man Kyron)
“A good news?” (Sera)
Cough! Cough!
The old man Kyron coughed as he gave the signal towards Slime to explain it to her.
(Damn… The air is too heavy that it felt very hard for me to say anything…) (Slime)
“Well, even though the old ma- the old guardian had officially retired from the action, it could still be considered that the Grandaria kingdom had lost a great amount of military power if the old guardian leave. And since it’s also the request that the old guardian made, we’ve accepted the request and we’ll help with any kind of trouble that the Grandaria kingdom might face,” Explained Slime.
“Anything?” (Sera)
“Yes, anything, princess,” (Slime)
When Slime said anything, all of the worries inside Sera’s head disappeared in an instant. By anything, it means that the Tarot empire will support any kind of help that the Grandaria kingdom requested even if it meant to go war with another kingdom. And if Sera were to ask the Tarot empire with an understandable amount of soldiers, they’ll also accept it without barring an eye.
And since the talk had been made by the ambassador of the Tarot empire and the princess of the Grandaria kingdom while the old guardian of the Grandaria kingdom stands as the witness. The promise was made and is enough to be considered as a contract.
It’s a piece of great news that enough to make some of Sera’s tears came out of her eyes because of the joy.
“But princess, I guess it’s time for us to discuss the next step we need to take,” Slime’s face turned into a grim one as he said the words.
“The next step?” Sera also regained her composure and calmed her mind.
“Since we’ve dealt with four of the Potterland’s sword while the old ma- the old guardian dealt with the other four. And there are also dozens of sword saint ranked warriors and many great swordsmen ranked warriors,” (Slime)
“The losses they’re having is big, but we didn’t know yet how big the Potterland kingdom’s forces are. And to add the fact that those who attacked here had demonized themselves and gained even more powerful strength. There is a big possibility that they still have more demonized warriors in their ranks,” (Slime)
“The possibility of them striking is high, and most likely, the timing they’ll take to start assaulting the kingdom is near,” (Slime)
“I see, so it means…” (Sera)
“Indeed, it means that a war with the Potterland kingdom will be inevitable,” (Slime)
