Chapter 37 – King Ashterzen 1
“Thank you very much!”
I thank the man who guided Reebo. I pat Reebo and looked away from the man to look up at the royal castle stretching tall before me.
On the day of the king’s personal summon. I arrived in front of the royal castle.
The castle gates were open, perhaps because I was due to come, and that’s where I got off the Reebo. From the gate to the royal castle, the path was very spacious and without a single object.
“…Huh, I have no choice but to go.”
I’m still nervous about talking to the king of a country. I’m afraid of what might happen if I make a mistake, but I can’t afford to be scared.
“Are you Rito Arnell?”
“!!!”
After walking for a while, I was approached by a woman standing in front of the door of the Royal Castle. I immediately looked away.
As long as we don’t make eye contact, it should be fine.
“Yes, I’m Rito Arnell.”
“Welcome. Please come this way and allow me to show you around.”
I can’t make out her facial expressions, but since there’s no change in tone of voice, I don’t think the skill is activated.
It seems that my skill is still triggered by eye contact. That’s a relief.
“The King is waiting for you here. After knocking, please enter the room as soon as he answers.”
We walked for a while to a luxurious door. The guide then bowed and left.
I let out a breath and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
A commanding voice came from inside. I opened the door and entered the room.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Rito Arnell and I’m here to discuss the serial killer case.”
I said the words I had prepared before I put the King in my sight.
But there was no reply.
“Ha ha ha.”
A few seconds passed, and then the King’s laughter was heard.
“……?”
I didn’t understand why he was laughing at me, so I looked up. The king was laughing normally, not a fake laugh at all.
“No, excuse me. I’d heard you had a bunch of Living National Treasures in your party, so I wondered what you’d be like. You seem like an unexpectedly nice young man.”
I felt relief in my heart.
I didn’t know why he laughed at me so much, I thought I’d made some kind of blunder, but I guess not. Good.
“Nice to meet you, Rito Arnell. I am Ashterzen Li Britain, King of the Britain Human Empire. Please have a seat.”
I bowed and sat down in the chair opposite where King Ashterzen was sitting.
“I’m sorry for calling you out of the blue.”
“N-no, it’s no matter at all!”
King Ashterzen bowed his head .
I imagined the king to be arrogant, but King Ashterzen has a gentle bearing.
He is about 60 years old and has beige hair down to his shoulders. He has narrow, kind eyes, a slightly elongated face and his mouth is hidden by his beard.
His face does not suggest that he is a king, but his back is straight and imposing, and the materiality of his clothes is evident. Royal dignity is clearly visible.
