Chapter 702 – Restoration of Expungement (6)
Was it after the direction of the talks was finalized?
It was evident that the strength of the diplomats in the delegation had lost weight.
What kind of treaty will be concluded after this? Actually, the process was incredibly important, after all, but it seemed more reassuring than my shock therapy. International treaties are their home ground.
Anyway, now it’s finally an atmosphere where you can exchange jokes comfortably.
Being able to giggle like a friend while swinging a sword like that bloodyly, after all, is something even a diplomat can’t do with a normal mind.
It was when I thought I had finished my work and thought about it leisurely.
Like a novel maniac who obtained the first draft of a poisonous bird, Asherard was poking his nose at the material I spread. She brought up another topic as if it were very interesting.
… Does that happen?
I opened my mouth at the unexpected perspective.
Although the causal relationship was the exact opposite—I only found out the roots of the wives after dating them—but, considering what he said, the Nord Wolfheddin was a very capable and steady forager.
A real man who is faithful to his job and discovered history that no one else could find within a year!
And after saving the Picts and bicorns/unicorns with all their might, they even took beautiful women from those tribes as wives?
It’s just like the protagonist of an orthodox heroic tale.
Perlo, a diplomat from Nidavellir, stuck out his tongue.
The envoys were shocked as if they had noticed Kiara’s story.
Then Hi Lo Main suddenly and proudly opened her chest.
No. I’m confident, I’m crazy, I got my arm cut off, I put on a prosthetic arm and begged for months.
Even after awakening to an aura, I almost got my head broken by a mega-evolved troll king. In fact, I would have lost if Odin hadn’t woken me up when I was about to pass out after becoming the Professor Slayer?
〈You even revealed the hidden history of Ulster! Ah! Also, the horse I rode was actually a race of unicorns, but I regained my form thanks to the Count’s grace!”
Don’t you have too much loyalty just because I’ve been hiring you for so long?
No matter how much I denied it in my heart, not a single word came out of my mouth, so I couldn’t stop praising my employer in High Romain.
‘This is why there is such a thing as overpaid.’
I threw a unicorn friend, research funds, and papers to an old maid professor who had been researching without receiving a single penny of sponsorship for the rest of her life, and in a few weeks she became a fan of Yellow Monkey.
In the future, we will have to crack down on the mouths of the local residents more thoroughly. It’s like the birth of some kind of folk religion. Handling like the Immortan River is not allowed. Breast milk! Breast milk!
〈… You couldn’t have accomplished these feats in just one year, right?” The envoys gradually looked at me, wondering if this was a human baby or a monster wearing a human mask. Damn, I don’t know why you look at me like a mass market dragon enjoying entertainment by polymorphing people. The delegation of each country looking at me. They were all hoping for the same answer. I noticed that fact, so I couldn’t help but reply with a shudder. Critical Hit on Nord’s Conscience! Nord (silver) became dark before her eyes! Asherard was delighted like a gambler who came in first with his bet. Damn, why did you have such a reaction from earlier? Watching Masters anxiously. Whoa… Kiara, who was flipping through her papers, sighed that the world would go away. Kiara understood with a slightly strange tone. I was sitting with nowhere to go, and I slowly became embarrassed. Man is a social animal, and a job is a means of self-realization. Why is there such a thing as a desire for honor? First of all, I am a human being, so I shrug my shoulders when I receive a compliment without a father. And! This is the mulberry taste of the gwanjong! But… Nimmy Sppul, can you really do this? Is this almost at the level of hitting a ssengura? Even though the conclusions are similar, my superficial profile and truth are not so different from kissing and kissing after kissing. I’m not a grown man, I’m just a harem-loving forager. If I had a lie detector in my hand right now, the machine would explode, really.
I said that and exchanged with Elizabeth. This full-scale political gambling is her job. It’s me, I’ll just sit there and act as an answer-bot, or I’ll be done after I get off work for a few hours.
That’s when the envoys started talking briskly.
The Romanian diplomat and I met eyes.
While talking with the escort called the bailiff, he kept his mouth shut. I crossed my arms.
In that moment, we calmed down, as if the vociferous speech we had vomited up to the moment before was a lie.
That man and I were different from other diplomats in the way we raised our hearts and minds. As if we were the only ones living with a separate point of view.
We half-opened our eyes, as if we had no interest in the treaties of Atlantis.
And I realized it by mobilizing my thinking ability and instinct.
‘You guys actually know enough to know, don’t you?’
I was at a disadvantage when I said it, so I didn’t say anything because I had no reason to persuade——that they dared to remain silent on a subject they knew more about.
We exchanged glances in seemingly careless fashion.
It felt like I could get my hands on the fact that they were thinking the same thing as me.
The last truths of the golden age not revealed here.
One day, the day we reveal that, we will meet again.
***
“I’m back!”
When the first day of the meeting was over, I quickly ran to Fran, who was given permission to be stunned because the discussion would proceed sluggishly from tomorrow.
It’s late tonight, so I’ll explain tomorrow, but there was another reason why I only went to see Fran. Absolutely no discrimination.
When I entered the room, the black-haired princess bowed her head.
【Are you here? Count Wolfheddin.]
【Yes. How has the princess been?]
【I was happy thanks to Countess Francesca.】
Today, the delegation from Baiznia was resting at the mansion like diners. This is because they had neither the justification nor the desire to participate in the Atlantis Conference.
And Yui-ling was talking with my angelic wife in the room with the mental care of the Chungwangdaegun incident and Fran’s own will.
That’s why I had to come here.
【Our work is roughly finished. There was no problem, so please stay comfortably.]
【Oh my goodness? Isn’t it polite to take pranks on a pawn like us?]
【Hehe. There’s no one to notice. Except for me and my family, the number of people who enter and leave this mansion are counted on one hand.]
Yui Ling, who had been teasing her with me, corrected her expression and bowed deeply to her. She was almost bowing down.
【Thank you very much in many ways. I’ll just step back.]
【Yep.】
It’s not pleasant to be so generously thanked by a girl about half my age, but being humble here will only increase her burden and guilt.
【Princess. I also had fun today.]
Frank grabbed Yui Ling’s hand as she bowed, disregarding her status.
An innocent smile bloomed on Fran’s cute face.
【So, let’s talk more in the future.】
【… May I?】
Up until now, I wonder if there were few people with whom I could openly talk. Fran smiled mischievously at Yui Ling, who was trying to get water in her eyes.
【Absolutely. I’m coming to visit my sister, but there’s nothing formal!]
【… Thank you, Sister Fran.]
Yui-ling hugged Fran and left.
Did she feel the sadness of being a mixed race who lost her family? Thinking that far, I slapped myself on the chin. It was a sight that did not need to be analyzed in this way without such ambiguity.
A friend with whom you can laugh and share your thoughts.
As it seems, wouldn’t that be enough?
“… There you are, Nor.”
Frank said after seeing off Yui-ling, who was leaving with the imperial troops. She couldn’t quite see what expression she was making because of the height difference between her and me.
“I guess there are times when things that I value very much don’t belong to others.”
“… Yes.”
Family is the most precious value for Fran and Yui-ling.
It was just an object of use for idiots like Prince Chungwang.
That’s why it’s bound to be difficult to meet someone you can relate to in your life.
If a bug was planted in the emperor of Vaiznia, would that bug become a loving parent to Yui-Ling after it died?
It was something we had no way of knowing.
As the half-dwarf Kiara said during their first meeting, sometimes there are things in this world that no matter how hard you try, you can’t get them.
“Then you should cherish it more.”
Happiness miraculously attained.
“… Yes. I think so too.”
Frank smiled at me. Her smile was like a franc.
… Prison.
After reassuring me with a smile, she silently hugged me to my chest. Her body temperature is a bit cold.
“Franc?”
“Wait a minute… Just until tonight, it’s fine.”
Fran, who was held in my arms, muttered quietly.
“I just feel like being a little kiddy.”
“… Don’t be silly, tell me whenever you’re tired.”
There is no separate schedule. I patted the back of my beloved family to my heart’s content.
“I am not going anywhere.”
