Heavenly Magician
Chapter 65: Princess of the Knight Kingdom

I instantly moved using [Gate] to the palace, but there was no one there at all.

What the fuck.

"Ah, Your Grace. Please, this way."

I looked around the room like a fool when Laim showed up and called me to follow him.

“Didn't we have a guest. Who're they?"

"They are representatives of the Kingdom of the knights of the Westin, Your Majesty." Answer Laim.

Westin.

"Where is that representative now?"

"They are currently at the knight training ground. I had asked them to wait in the audience room, but they still insisted on seeing the knights practicing."

Huh, that makes sense. If they were from the Knight Kingdom, they would definitely love a fight.

I can understand why they might want to watch foreign knights fight. As long as they were just watching, it was no big deal.

I arrived at the training ground, and found Norn with a female knight dueling using a training sword. But it was no ordinary female Knight, judging from the armor she used, she must have come from the nobility.

It was no longer the female knight by name, but rather the Knight Princess.

"Hoo!!!!"

The knight princess delivered the final blow, shouting loudly as she struck her enemy. The Norn Sword flew into the air as it received its punch.

"Game done!" Nikola's voice echoed in the field. The crowd watching around exploded with their cheers. I could even see members of my knight order, as well as the knights of the Westin.

"Thank you very much, Princess." Norn said as he lowered his head. In front of her right now was a princess.

"Thank you for you too." The Princess replied while bowing her head as well.

Just when I was wondering if she saw me, I saw the girl taking a step and heading towards me.

Her long blonde hair glittered as it was blown by the gentle breeze. He was wearing an armor with a Royal logo, and had the sweetest little smile on his face.

He seems to be the same age as me.

"Y-Your Majesty. H-It's been a while!"

Been a long time. What does that mean, I just met him.

"What do you mean. Is this the first time we've met?" I answered with a confused face.

Hearing the question sentence made him blush in embarrassment.

"I-it's. Ki-we, rather I, I've seen His Majesty in the Kingdom of Freedom first."

The freedom. As I recall, I only went there during the extermination of the dragon. When he saw me.

"Exactly when did the Princess see me?"

"As His Majesty pointed out to the King of Freedom twelve dragons that His Majesty managed to kill."

Ohh. At that time yes.... Wait, was he there at the time too.

"What Mr Putr_"

"Before that. My name is Hilda De Destin. Just call me Hilda."

Hilda's. It is not a name taken from the German language, meaning a girl who is able to fight on the battlefield.

"Well-well. Was Princess Hilda there at the time?"

"Yes. I'm on a little business there." Answer in a soft voice.

"Oh, so yeah. By the way, instead of two guests, where's the other one, Laim?" I who was still looking for the other existence directly asked Laim who was still standing beside me.

"Find me!?"

An old man stepped out from the knights of the Westin. He looked seventy years old. He also had a long white mustache on his face. And even though he was walking with a cane, his back was completely straight. He has a very good attitude about himself and also looks fit for his age.

Suddenly, I thought about who he was.

The old man took the Guild card from his pocket, gave it to me. I'm pretty sure, this guy is the only person on the planet who is ranked the same as me once was.

"It's fun, sir. My name is Tatsuya Shin. I've heard of you before from Guildmaster Relisha."

"Ohohohohohh... Thank you, young man. We decided to take a little visit and take a look at this newly established Kingdom. So hopefully we don't bother you."

"May you be here." I said that while reaching out to shake the hand of the former King. But.

"Deeek!!!"

I turned around in response to a sudden shout, only to find one of my servants trembling violently. The former King somehow stepped swiftly behind him, and made a fumbling motion with his palm.

What he's doing.

"Oh, you have to forgive me... It's just my habit. Oh my... What a nice ass."

"Grandfather, please! We're guests here and this isn't a guest. Control yourself a little!"

"You have to forgive me, my hands move by instinct when I feel a good ass. I was a bit patient until now, holding myself back in the beautiful grey ocean, but I was almost on the verge of breaking down. Swahaha."

Hilda seemed to be getting angry. But the old geezer just answered him casually while continuing to fumble.

Grey ocean. What he meant was his own knights huh, given the gray armor they used.

But more importantly at the moment, I don't know how or when he passed me.

The old man was no ordinary person at all. He had obviously earned a Gold rank for a reason. Then again, he could have been extremely talented in terms of obscenity.

"I'm sorry! My grandfather's reflexes started working. B-as soon as he sees a woman, he will usually leave anyone to his interlocutor."

"Well... Oh my goodness."

What kind of reflex is that. I can't believe this man ever ruled the Kingdom of knights. He's not the kind of man I imagined at all.

For a while, we returned to Glory Castle. We also took the group of knights of the Westin towards the barracks of our own knight order. But some of them decided to remain as the bodyguards of the visiting Royal family.

I chose to guide them into the castle, but.

"Deeek!!"

"Ohohohohohh"

"Grandfather!!"

The incident kept repeating. Our waiter didn't even have a chance to dodge. To be honest, I'm worried that in the end he will cause an international incident.

I'm also very tempted to hold him back with [Gravity], but.

"Oho. Shin's. Do you miss me?"

My brother Kaori walked from the corner all of a sudden. And in a flash of speed, the former King of the Westin shot towards him.

However, before I could blink, the old man was already on the ground, rolling in the opposite direction.

"What!?" Shouted us all.

From my point of view, Kaori's posture hasn't changed. He was clearly not touched at all.

The dumbfounded old man remained on the floor, staring up. He seems a little traumatized.

"Hey Shin, who is this man?" Ask my feet as they start walking towards me.

"Huh, oh... He's the former King of the Kingdom of the Knights of the Westin."

"Oh, jeez... He's a really excited old man." 

I started introducing Kaori to our Destin visitors, they were just as surprised as I used to be. Considering Kaori was disguised as my sister, which technically also made her a noble.

"I'm sorry my brother, he can be a little brash."

"No, no. It was our fault from the beginning! Honestly, I think my grandfather needs something like a little divine punishment, aha." He said that in an awkward tone, probably considering that his grandfather started this incident first.

But he had no idea how close he was to the truth of his words. I chose to keep my mouth shut. His grandfather was lucky to be only slightly injured after trying to fumble around a Goddess.

"But really, you're amazing. It's the first time I've met a woman who can fight grandpa's addiction..... Ehh... Hm... W-Is there something on my face?"

Hilda was confused as Kaori looked at him seriously.
