The banquet prepared by Alexei was extremely splendid.

In addition, there are a ton of different types of food, but the portions are small. There is an endless amount of food prepared that is just enough for me, Elfin, and Gukseo to take a bite.

“I’ve never eaten such great food in my life.”

“The small country is from the north.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Is the North still having a hard time?”

Alexei’s letter made me think of the northern combat zone depicted in the game.

Although Academy Story 2 is a game with a generally peaceful atmosphere, the Northern Battle Zone was an extremely desperate and fierce battleground even in Academy Story 2.

Users who like touching stories often rate the Northern Battle Zone story as the best.

“It’s always the same. Liberators and monsters come rushing in, and soldiers, knights, and wizards stop them. I’ve been through battlefields like that.”

At my well-crafted answer, Alexei Kuksu lowered his ears and made a pitiful expression.

“Oh my god, for a male to do that at such a young age…”

“You don’t have to worry too much, it’s for the Empire.”

“The empire will never overlook heroes like those of a small country.”

At my answer, Gukseo shook his head and winked at his escort, the night crow, with a stern expression.

“This is…”

“I asked Sasha to give me the royal seal that the state seal uses. The other states seals don’t have it…”

As Alexei Kuksu stood up after receiving the golden badge from his escort, Elphin and I also stood up.

“Ein Frostgarm, ever since your specialization in healing magic manifested, you went around the battlefield healing soldiers until just before entering the academy, ignoring your parents’ dissuasion. This is me, Alexei Le Perion, and Alexandra Le Perion.”

The secretary paused for a moment.

“…And the First State’s Estelle Le Perion and the Second State’s Balsar Le Perion unanimously acknowledge that the ‘Golden Card’, which is the property of the State’s, is handed over to the Ain Frostgarm State.”

“Abama, are you saying that you acknowledged the 1st and 2nd national letters?”

Alexei Gukseo smiled faintly as he handed me a plaque made of the purest gold.

“What can they do when So-Guk-Seo did something? They had no choice but to agree because Sasha had to give it to them. It was a good look.”

The king laughed heartily after saying that. He must have found that sight refreshing.

“And I sent a dowry out of my own pocket to help the Baron Frostgarm, a small country.”

“Thank you…”

“I would like to give you a title, but even a small country knows that a title cannot be awarded, right?”

“I know, sir.”

“Oh, you call other nobles ‘Master’? You can do the same to me.”

I looked at Elfin for a moment at Alexei Gukseo’s remark while smiling.

Because the other princesses’ minor statesmen don’t call their statesmen “father-in-law”.

But when Elfin nodded, I smiled and nodded to Alexei.

“Okay, sir.”

“Sogukseo and Elfin will never know how much I wanted to hear that sound.”

My father-in-law must have really liked my words, because Alexei smiled brightly and ate two pieces of sushi in one go, son-in-law.

After the dinner ended in a friendly atmosphere, Emperor Alexei gave the strict order to spend the night at the villa, then disappeared to get ready, saying he had to meet Sasha.

Thanks to Elfin’s consideration, I communicated with Ion and told him that I had to stay at the palace today. He gave me a very Ion-like answer, saying, “Then I can gain as much weight as I want today.”

“I didn’t mean to do it this way, but since I’m here, why not take a look around the palace?”

I answered Elfin’s suggestion without hesitation.

“Let’s just give it a try.”

Elfin chuckled briefly at my cool answer and then gave some instructions to the guard in the reception hall. The guard brought a female tiger knight who looked like she had a dirty temper.

“Meet the princess and the small country book. This is ‘Mad Hatter’.”

“Are you a night owl?”

The Mad Hatter nodded in response to my words.

“The Mad Hatter is the rudest of my night ravens, but he’s also the most skilled, so you can trust him.”

“I thought Chesha was the rudest.”

“At least Chesha has mastered manners. Even the Empress has given up on the Mad Hatter.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

“That’s true.”

The Mad Hatter grinned and stood behind us, and I followed Elfin into the villa gardens.

“From the garden of the palace to the east of the imperial castle. The eastern palace is the residence of Abama Ma, and the first national office is in the south. The second national office is in the north.”

“What about the west?”

“Well, if you were the Empress’s secretary, you might have been in the western palace.”

Elfin grins and jokes as he walks across the garden at my leisurely pace.

“The garden is really pretty.”

“Unlike the northern and southern villas, the eastern villa garden is managed directly by Abamama.”

“Master, you have a great artistic sense.”

“I know that Abamama’s specialty is this. Although she’s not as good at art as you, she has an eye for aesthetics.”

“Do you know how to play an instrument?”

“You often play the organ.”

As we walk across the garden and chat with Elfin and Dorandoran, we soon arrive at the eastern entrance to the castle.

“Meet the 4th Princess.”

“I plan to tour the imperial castle with So-Guk-Seo.”

The knight of the imperial guard bowed his head and answered Elfin’s words.

“His Majesty has given instructions to allow the Princess and the Soguk Seo to enter and exit the Imperial Palace freely. Welcome to the Imperial Palace, Soguk Seo.”

“Thank you.”

At my answer, the palace guard bowed his head even more deeply and left.

“The imperial palace is indeed different.”

“Because everyone in the palace respects the Empress with their hearts.”

“I hope you become like that too.”

“Thank you, Ain. But you have to be careful what you say in the palace.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

I nod at Elfin’s words and look around.

The palace was decorated mainly with gold, symbolizing a lion. However, rather than feeling cheap, it was composed with a highly artistic sense, so the luxury and splendor of the gold itself stood out.

“Count Electra Grand Warpass of the Ministry of War meets with the 4th Princess and… the rumored Soguk Seo.”

While touring the Imperial City, I came across a female leopard with a solemn face, who seemed to be a high-ranking noble belonging to the Ministry of War.

“Count Grand Warpass, was there a meeting?”

“There was a brief meeting because the Eastern Kingdom’s atmosphere was turning unstable. And it seems I was right on the mark.”

Count Electra gave me another nod, and I greeted her according to imperial etiquette.

“Erpeion Le Perion’s companion, Ain Frostgarm, a small country, meets Count Electra Grand Warpass.”

“The rumors have been reduced. You are truly a great beauty, So-Guk-Seo.”

“Thank you for the compliment. It is nice to see Count Electra looking so majestic.”

“Haha, you are very eloquent, So-Guk-Seo. And you experienced battles from a young age.”

Count Electra’s eyes lit up, befitting her position in the Ministry of War, as if my background was interesting.

“I hope to continue good relations with the Ministry of War in the future.”

“I hope I can help.”

“Of course.”

In addition to Count Electra of the Ministry of War, I also met several central nobles while touring Elfin and the Imperial Palace.

Most of them were new faces, but fortunately there were some familiar faces.

“Mother-in-law.”

“Isn’t he my precious son-in-law? Is your Highness the Princess well?”

Duke Icarus Moratium, Ion’s mother and mother-in-law, greeted me and the Elfin Princess warmly.

“The Duke of Moratium looks good too.”

“Of course. He is my precious daughter’s son-in-law, so how could he not be? The princess is also a female son-in-law.”

“I also couldn’t be happier being with Ain.”

As Elfin laughs and jokes, the Duke of Moratium laughs along.

“Son-in-law, I heard you’re spending this week with Ion.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Duke Moratium scratched his cheek slightly in a way that did not match his solemn appearance when I answered him and spoke to me in a subtle way.

“Our Ion is a great knight, but he is lacking as a female. Besides, his son-in-law is a jaguar and his daughter is a dragon… As a mother-in-law, I don’t know how to say this, but I hope you and Ion work hard.”

I smiled briefly at her subtle suggestion and then answered.

“We loved each other every single day from Monday to yesterday.”

The Duke of Moratium seemed very pleased with my answer, and he smiled and patted my shoulder.

“Actually, I heard it from Ion. But 6 hours… I thought Ion was lying, but I wasn’t. Can I look forward to it?”

Elphin nodded as she recalled the time she had slept with me herself during the six-hour speech by the Duke of Moratium, while the Mad Hatter looked like he was saying, “What the hell are you talking about?”

“Take a good look around the palace and go. The Empress will have some free time before dinner, so I’m sure she’ll be happy if you show her your face.”

“Good luck, mother-in-law.”

“Thank you for your hard work, Duke Moratium.”

“Your Highness, please take care of your health.”

As the Duke of Moratium leaves to attend to his official duties, the Mad Hatter speaks to him from behind.

“Ms. So-Guk-Seo, do you really have sex for 6 hours?”

At her words, Elfin made an expression that said, “Again?” It seemed like this wasn’t the first or second time she had spoken like this.

” If you do that, it will happen.”

“Is that so? Then, can’t the princess lend me So-Guk-Seo for just one day?”

When I looked at Elfin, wondering what on earth he was talking about, Elfin had a regretful expression on his face.

“I want to say, “You shouldn’t do that,” but Ain is the leader of the group… and the Mad Hatter is a night crow that I’ve raised since I was little, so he’s my cherished subordinate, like Chesha or Alice. The decision-making power lies with Ain.”

Elfin’s answer may sound like it doesn’t matter at first glance, but it was actually a special characteristic of our group that came from experiencing my sexual desires firsthand.

I haven’t experienced Lulu, Bandi, or Bam yet, but if they’re at a similar level to Elfin, Hoyo, or Ion, then my past self who thought ‘I could dry out and die with 6 females’ was just a foolish thought. I think I could probably handle 12 of them.

“I want to focus on the females in the group.”

“Can I do it later?”

I sighed slightly at the Mad Hatter’s persistent questioning and answered.

“Please serve Elfin well. Then you never know.”

“Okay.”

Elfin chuckled at the sight of the Mad Hatter smiling as if he liked it.
