"...... what the hell is this?"
I opened my mouth, not bothering to hide my dismay, and my voice was strained. In my hand was a letter from the Church of Crimiana.
"What in the world would qualify them to withhold the conference ...... from us?
I shook my head and stared at the ceiling of my office.
In the end, I imdiately decided to ignore Klimiana's request and attend the conference in Hradi. There was no way I could tell her that I was quitting now when everything was already prepared. When I told May about Klimiana's request, she said she would leave it to the master, but when I said I would attend the conference imdiately, she looked relieved and happy. For , the conference is a matter that I can count from the bottom of my priority list. I had a casual feeling that if other countries did not show up, I should simply and easily finish the conference.
However, as it turned out, the conference held in Hradimé was a great success. Researchers from the participating countries ca to the venue to hear May's presentation, and in a panic, the Fradimé side decided to hold May's presentation three tis. I could hardly understand what May, Roni and the others were presenting, but at every mont there was a gasp and a round of applause. It seed that the scholars had made so eye-opening discoveries. i explained to us once in detail, but to tell the truth, I don't rember much because I was on the bed. All I rember is May's pretty face and the fact that we did such and such things ....... To my credit, it is not that I am incomprehensive. When I see May's, you know, boobs, I lose all reason. We have been married for many years now and May, perhaps because of her dwarven blood, does not seem to age at all. On the contrary, her beauty and s*x appeal seem to have improved with each passing year since she gave birth to Alyria. She is a pretty, beautiful, kind, wise, and erotic wife. When I hold her in my arms, I can't think of anything difficult to talk about.
She is called to etings with researchers every day, and she is very busy. Well, she doesn't have anything to worry about since Roni is right by her side. ...... But there are still things to worry about. But there is still sothing to worry about.
He always attends May and Roni's presentations and never takes his eyes off of them. He looks at them. This is worriso. Today, he was sitting in the special seat reserved for royalty, staring at the symposium they were attending, not moving an inch. I was indeed concerned, so I decided to sit next to him.
"You are very enthusiastic, aren't you?
"...... is wonderful."
"What is ......?"
"...... for everything. King Agartha, I envy you."
Without looking at at all, he mutters. It's a little rude. Perhaps sensing my feelings, he slowly takes his gaze away from i and the others and turns to .
"I will never forget this beauty. An intelligent and beautiful woman will heal my heart."
I froze, unable to find the words to reply. He smiles at and opens his mouth.
"Actually, today is the day, King Agartha. I have co to summon you. Will you join for a mont?"
"What is it?"
I'm just here for a bite to eat.
Okay. Okay.
I followed King Nike down the corridors of Castle Arisun. He strode swiftly through the maze of corridors as if it were his own castle. Then he randomly opens the door to an ordinary room and enters. I follow him into the room, wondering what he is up to.
There ...... were several n gathered there, dressed in luxurious costus. When they saw us, they stood up and bowed their heads in an eagle-like manner.
"Ladies and gentlen, I have brought the king of Agartha."
King Nike sits in his chair with a smile on his face. As if on cue, the n take their seats. I sit down in the only available chair next to King Nike. As if he had been waiting for , one of the n opens his mouth.
I am Mium of the kingdom of Vasefasili. King Agartha, it is an honor to et you!
"I am Zobiak, king of Shanarese. I am Zobirk, King of the Shanarese nation.
My na is Busse, Emperor of the Deirdre de Ardagh Empire.
All the n in this room were kings of so country or another. I was so surprised that I froze with my mouth open.
"I am sorry, King Agartha. I thought you would not co to our eting otherwise. Forgive ."
What is this?
To my surprise, Nike began to tell about his past and his future plans. He told that although the Kingdom of Sandanje and its neighbor, the Kingdom of Tana, are ostensibly on friendly terms, the Tana side is certain to invade Sandanje. Nike is naturally determined to attack them, but a letter from Klimiana, which arrived just before the conference started, has complicated the situation. Of course, the letter was sent in the na of the Pope, and the letter = the Pope's order. Therefore, the countries that participated in this conference automatically disobeyed the Pope, and in the worst case, they would be in danger of being defeated by the Crimiana Church.
The kings sitting in front of were all kings who were being interfered with by the Church of Crimiana, who were trying to control the governnt of the country, and who were eager to get out of it sohow. Nike had been secretly associating with these kings and was planning to undermine the Crian state.
"This conference was truly a gathering of the anti-Crimiana nations. King Agartha, you may have noticed that many countries that do not participate in our dical research have co to this conference.
What does that an?
"Ostensibly, they are participating in the conference, but the real reason is that they want to discuss how to protect their countries from the coming defeat of the Klimiana, and if possible, form an alliance with them. And all of them would like to form an alliance with your Agartha."
"Ha ha, so I've been offered several dinners?"
In fact, I had over 30 invitations to dinner parties. And that was right after I arrived in the Hradi country. I politely declined all of them. Because I didn't like the idea of suddenly eting people from a strange country, and above all, it was impossible for to attend all of them. Then, you may think that I should et only with the countries I am interested in, but that would be very harmful to the reputation of the countries I refused to et. However, listening to what Nike just said, I think it was a good decision to refuse.
"The next target of Crimiana will probably be our country of Sandanj. It has been the long-cherished desire of the Kingdom of Thana to unify the continent of Leroue. Now is the perfect ti to do it.
"Do you have any chance of winning against Tana's army, ...... Nike?"
"No."
"What?"
"Think about it. The Kingdom of Thana, which has swallowed Sulphate. They probably have no less than 100,000 n. With the reinforcents from the other nations of Cria, the total number would probably exceed 200,000."
"So what are we going to do about ......?"
The kings gathered here all share borders with the nations on the side of the Krimyana. I do not ask for reinforcents. If they send troops against us, we want them to blockade our borders.
"Is this ...... to prevent the arrival of Klimiana's reinforcents?"
No, we just need you to buy us so ti. With 100,000 n in Tana, we can lure them deep into our lands and fight them in the desert, and even 30,000 n under our banner will have a chance. And now, King Agartha, I would like to ask a favor of you once again.
"A favor?"
I would like you to evacuate the researchers from our country and the other countries gathered here to your Agartha.
"Huh? Is that, by any chance, ......?"
"That's all I ask."
Nikee bows her head to . And the other kings in attendance bowed their heads in the sa manner. I gasped for breath for a while.
