Because it takes a while for the banquet to be held.

I was currently staying in a gorgeous room.

They said it was a room used for hosting guests, so at first I wondered if that made sense.

The Kingdom of Dillun is also a country and kingdom.

There didn’t seem to be anything strange about being a guest of such a king.

He also said he would show me the servants who would help me.

I refused because I liked being alone.

Lying blankly on the bed in such a quiet room.

Someone knocked on the door.

I got up from my lying position and opened the door.

Then, what appeared was a woman dressed in a fancy dress.

I wondered who it was.

Soon, I realized that it was one of the seven people who appeared to be the king’s children.

“You are a princess.”

“You know me without having to introduce myself, right?”

The princess smiled brightly.

I barely swallowed the sigh that was building up and spoke.

“How can you not know? Anyway, what’s going on?”

“I have something to tell you.”

“… I understand that things like that are usually done by subordinates.”

The royal family or imperial family basically moves for external reasons.

Also, I don’t prefer moving it myself, but in a way, it was natural.

By moving directly, you are giving attack distance to other royal families or members of the royal family.

However, the princess came before my eyes as if to announce that she had contacted me.

And that’s without even saying hello properly.

Even before the banquet started.

But the princess just smiled.

No particular answer was given.

I spoke, barely suppressing the sigh that rose up in my throat.

“… Please come in first.”

I went into the room wondering if anyone would be watching.

The princess sat down lightly and showed a sensual smile.

I already had a strong feeling that I would be caught up in a succession battle.

“What business did the princess come to see me for?”

“Looks like you already know.”

“Ha… Princess. Right now, it just seems like they’re being quite dismissive of me.”

In terms of the status and power of a warrior, he is comparable to the emperor of an empire.

However, it was crazy for the kingdom’s princess to come to him without warning and ask him to help her become king.

Even the emperor of the empire cannot treat me carelessly because of my position as a warrior.

She is not the king of the kingdom and is just a princess with a very low probability of becoming king.

‘Does it make me look like a dick just because I treat you with respect?’

Honestly, it made no sense, but it was the princess’s attitude that I couldn’t understand otherwise.

“That can’t be right. I did not ignore the warrior.”

As she said that, she took a stance that highlighted her body.

Only then did I understand the princess’s intentions to some extent.

“If you want, I can give you my all.”

‘

That means he will sacrifice his chastity.

It was truly a ridiculous statement.

I don’t deny that the princess was beautiful, but considering the people around me, she was rather average.

‘Just Lena and Ilen right now.’

When you look at it objectively, she is dozens of times prettier than the princess in front of you.

Even though the two of them don’t have any makeup or decoration.

For those reasons, the princess’s appearance was just laughable.

I opened the closed door.

“I will tolerate the rudeness just this once. Next time, if this happens again, I won’t stay silent, so keep that in mind.”

The princess’s face changed unfavorably, as if she understood what I meant by telling her to get out.

But I didn’t care.

‘So what.’

What can a princess do?

This is also a princess whose succession structure is quite low.

There is nothing I can do but do as I say.

The princess, too, must have been well aware of this fact, as she got up and walked out the door with colder eyes than before.

So close the door.

As I lay down, thinking that I could finally rest comfortably, someone knocked on the door again.

I opened the door feeling more feverish than ever.

“5Prince… ”

bang!

I closed it before I could hear anything.

I lay in bed praying desperately that this would be the end.

I soon realized that it was a vain wish.

***

After that, subjects sent by the throne continued to visit me.

Every time, I was greeted at the door, and thanks to that, I wasn’t able to rest properly.

‘Ah, this dirty country. ‘I need to solve the case quickly and leave.’

There’s still a banquet left, so how on earth can I hold on?

It felt like my eyes were already getting dark.

‘I don’t care about image anyway.’

To the extent that he himself is spreading bad rumors around the empire.

I thought I would just do whatever I wanted, but I couldn’t do that since I came at the emperor’s request.

It’s not just my problem, but in this case, it’s a problem that directly affects the emperor’s reputation.

What I did was a disservice to the emperor who trusted me and sent me away.

“Ha… It’s really hard, I’m dying, very.”

If I had known this would happen, I would have brought Ilen with me.

If that were the case, it would end up in Ilen’s line before it even got to my line.

“I can’t help it.”

Since I decided to come alone, it was something I had to fully handle.

If something goes wrong, you should call Ilen right away.

‘So when will the banquet be held?’

I think it’s been a few hours since I waited.

No one has come yet.

I know that preparing a banquet takes a long time, but I was a little surprised.

Looking at the king, it looks like he was planning to throw a banquet for me from the beginning.

If I had already known that I was going before leaving here, there is a high probability that I would have been preparing for the banquet from the beginning.

Still, I was wondering why it took so long to prepare a banquet.

smart.

Someone knocked on the door as if even a tiger would come if told.

“Hero. Preparations for the banquet are complete.”

“I’ll leave right away.”

Hearing what the servant said, he immediately opened the door and went out.

There was a neatly dressed servant there.

The servant looked at me and lowered his head.

“We will guide you.”

With that said, he led me to the banquet hall.

The location of the sleeping quarters I was guided to was a separate building a little away from the palace.

So I had to walk a bit, and soon I was able to reach the banquet hall.

Instead of guiding me, he opened the door.

When the door opened, I saw nobles enjoying a banquet and the royal family and their blood relatives sitting on the throne.

Most of the people didn’t look good at me.

‘Of course.’

Not only the princess, but most of the others were kicked out without even having a conversation.

There was only one prince who didn’t bother to send me someone.

It was a prince who appeared to be the youngest.

He had a somewhat blank and empty expression, just like when I first saw him.

I stepped into the banquet hall, ignoring the princes’ gazes.

Then the eyes of the nobles who were enjoying the banquet focused on me.

Then they started whispering among themselves, and strangely enough, my senses caught them all.

‘He’s a hero. ‘How did the warrior get here?’

‘According to rumors, there was no such thing as a very vicious being.’

‘Of course they must have done something.’

‘I came here in the name of punishing heresy, but it’s obvious that I’ll just throw away my job and do it.’

They all seemed to be chewing on me, as if the rumor about me had already spread throughout the empire here.

I’m used to it now, so I didn’t think much of it.

I just listen with one ear and let it out with the other.

I continued walking into the banquet hall, stood in front of the King of Dillun, and made eye contact with the King.

Normally I would greet you by slightly bowing my head, but if you think about it, there is no reason for me to bow.

Even though this is the Kingdom of Dillun and I am the king of such a kingdom, I am a warrior who will save the world and a person who has come to catch heretics. There was no reason or need to go along with the king of a single kingdom.

‘It may cause harm to the emperor.’

When I think about it again, there was no damage or any problem.

As a warrior, I am here to catch the heretics who are causing damage to the kingdom.

Just because I didn’t bow to the king didn’t cause any problems for the emperor’s respect.

Also, because I am at an age where rumors are not good.

Ah, that bastard is probably busy chewing me out for being such a cheap bastard.

And as I expected, the nobles immediately continued gossiping about me.

‘her. Are you holding your head high right now?’

‘I understand that you are from a commoner background. As expected, you don’t know what it means to be polite. This is why they are commoners.’

But I, who was immune to such things, looked at the king without even listening properly.

I felt bad that he was ignoring me, but the king just smiled heartily at me.

“Warrior. I guess you don’t like the banquet. Still, please enjoy it a little for the sake of those who worked hard to prepare.”

“Yes.”

Would you be able to enjoy it?

Those words invaded my throat, but I endured them with superhuman patience and nodded slightly.

“Okay, now that the main character is here, let’s start the real banquet.”
