"What a good name.. Come along with uncle, uncle will take little Eve around and give a lot of sweets.. " Said Roland.
"REally..?? Fathering.. Fathering.. Eve wants to go with this uncle.. " Say Eve.
"Is it not a hassle..? " Task Argus.
Because after all Roland was a prince, so Argus felt bad.
"No problem.. I've wanted to hold a child for a long time.." Roland said
"Let's come now.. "
Then Roland took Eve and took her away from there
"Lisa's.. You come too, don't let Eve make trouble for the prince... " Say Argus
"Emmm.. Understand master. " Said Lisa.
Then he ran after Roland and Eve who had already left.
"So, is Eve your child..? You mean your real son..? " Ask Queen Silvia.
"He's my son, but he's not..
Because he was actually the care of someone else who had died, and I had already considered him my own son.. " Said Argus.
"Did you hear that, it looks like you still have Oliv's chance.. " Said Queen Silvia.
"Mothers.. " Olivia flushed when she heard the Queen's words.
But he was relieved when he heard that Eve was not actually Argus' real child, meaning Argus was still unmarried.
"Let's go back to business for now.. " Say King Rodrike
"You have two gifts now.
Status Baron, and a request.. "
"So, what are you asking for..? As long as I can still fulfill it and it does not contradict my beliefs. Then I'll grant it. "
"Alright, for the Baron position I don't need it at all. So I'll just take the second prize. Requests.. " Say Argus
"And as for my request is, I want to be able to access all the magic books that exist in the Kingdom.. "
"I've previously asked for access to the library, but after I heard from Lisa that the library also has an important area where not just anyone can enter.
So here I want to get that access.. "
Everyone there looked at each other and only Sebastian smiled. Because he already knew about Argus' nature.
"Are you sure..?? You can ask for something else if you want.. More wealth, higher status or anything like my son Olivia maybe..? " Ask King Rodrike
"No, I've even decided this before I take this Quest.. " Said Argus still did not change his request.
"Have you thought carefully..? With the status of Baron will make it easier for you to do various things later. " Say Queen Silvia
"I've thought about it. After all, I have the desire to explore all corners of this world to find out the various knowledge and secrets of this world.. " Said Argus.
"And the reason why I want land, especially quiet land is.. So that I can build a place that I can later call Home..
A place where I can go home. "
"But if.. " Report Queen Silvia said, but her words were stopped by the King.
"There was no need to force it anymore, he had made his own decision this time. We have to respect his decision as well. " Said King Rodrike.
"Thank you for understanding.. " Say Argus
"Together, I will grant your request for access to all the locations within the Royal library..
You can just come there and just need to say your name, no one will forbid you to read anything there. " Said King Rodrike.
"Because the issue of rewards is settled, so can we talk about anything else..? "
"Please.. I'll answer if I can say that.. " Say Argus
"Yes, you really don't have to be so serious this time.. " Say King Rodrike
"Because this time I speak not on the basis of a king, but an old man only.
Or it could be said as a father.. "
Argus who heard that felt something was wrong this time. If it was still as King, then it must have been a Formal question or request. Here he says as an old man.
Then there's the possibility this might be something that complicates in the sense that it makes Argus feel bad to either accept or reject it.
And sure enough what was said next made Argus dizzy how to respond.
"There is only one request from me..
That is, please take Olivia with you for an adventure.. " Said King Rodrike.
Argus really did not know how he had to answer this request, because bringing someone he did not really know just made Argus hesitant to accept the request.
But this time it was a request to bring a princess. Princess of a Kingdom.
"There is no need to rush to answer this request.. You can think about it first.. "Chap King Rodrike.
" I'm really asking you to consider my request.
"If it wasn't for Sebastian saying that this kid had feelings for you, I wouldn't know this right.
This was the first time he had any feelings towards the opposite sex, usually he would avoid anyone trying to approach him.. Even only I, Sebas and Roland were the men who could be close to him.."
"And also because this boy never left this palace, the only time he went out was when I was still unconscious.. "
"He slipped out with Sebastian.. But when I realized at that time, I finally knew that I had been too protective of him..
And when I saw you in person, I actually made the decision to let her go with you.. " Say King Rodrike
"So please consider this matter carefully..
Whatever's gonna happen out there, I'm not gonna blame you. But I hope you can take care of him later too.."
"Dad.. " Murm Olivia.
"I understand, but there are some things I need to talk about first with you. If you guys especially Olivia don't mind, then I wouldn't mind bringing Olivia along.. " Said Argus.
"Please say.. " Say King Rodrike
"Emmm.. First after I get out of here, I won't know when I'll be back. So it's likely to take months or years before I can return.. " Say Argus
"So if Olivia wants to come with us, she has to be able to hold back the kangen with you. "
"How's Oliv..? This is the only chance you can get out of seeing this world the way you want.. " Say Queen Silvia
"Mom will support all your decisions.. "
After bowing his head and thinking for a while, he finally made a decision.
"I'll try it.. If I can't do this, I'm ready to be left on the road.. " Say Olivia.
"Then, my journey is usually not an easy one, and to be honest I like to find routes that should not be traveled just to see if there is something interesting there.. " Say Argus
"So, I want him to be able to take care of himself as well..
I might not have had time to keep him by his side. "
"As I've said before, it doesn't matter.. " Say King Rodrike
"Also even though he had never come out before, he had quite a powerful healing ability. And the ability of the light element is very strong, so you don't have to worry.. "
"All right then the last and most important.. " Say Argus
"Whatever he'll see later, I want him to be able to keep everything a secret. Including all of you in this room.. "
"Because there are some things that I don't want anyone to know, if I can't then I won't bring them..
And I'll be honest, if I can't then better say it now. Because if I knew anyone would tell me what I thought was about my family's current safety, I wouldn't hesitate to remove the threat.. " Said Argus.
"Does that mean you even dared to kill Olivia or all of us in this room if one of the secrets you think could threaten your family was spread..? " Said King Rodrike in a loud and slightly intimidating tone.
"Right, I don't care about anyone. As long as it concerns my family, even gods I will fight it.. " Say Argus firmly. He was not afraid of the king being angry or the others being angry..
"Riots detected.. Start a prevention program..!! " Robotic voices were heard from Alfred when he saw the angry and threatening King.
But Argus waved his hand and signaled to Alfred to cancel the program that had begun to run. After a moment of silence in the room, the King's laughter broke the silence there.
"Haha.... Interesting.. I like you more..
I'll change my request if I just want you to take Olivia with you. Then this time I want you to make it one of your family.. " Said King Rodrike.
"What did Dad say..? " Say Olivia
"Ohh.. Don't you want this..? " Tell King Rodrike with a smile.
"That's.. That's.. " Olivia was confused as to what to answer at the moment. On the one hand he also likes Argus, but on the other hand he does not know very well what Argus is like.
"Hahaha look, there's nothing to ask, right..? " Say King Rodrike
"So how's Argus..? "
"That's why I can't answer now, however we don't even know each other very well.. " Say Argus
"No problem.. You can take him and get to know him from now on..
Whatever your decision is, I'm not gonna get angry. I just wish you could make Olivia happy the way you treated Lisa and Eve.. " Say King Rodrike
"From what I've seen, you're a person who has a very high love for family. And I'm sure if you hand Oliv over to you, he won't suffer one bit.. "
"And you don't have to worry if I'll take advantage of you after marriage or make Olivia your family, because here I promise and swear on behalf of my beloved wife and brother.. " Said King Rodrike, he then removed the crown on his head and placed it on the table.
"I'm currently handing over Olivia based on my status as an ordinary parent, not as King.. So you won't have any responsibility for this kingdom.."
"Even if you say that. I still can't get married to Olivia, no matter how we don't know each other.. " Say Argus
"No problem, you can get engaged from now on.. How..? " Said King Rodrike.
"That's.. " Argus was hesitant to answer that request at this time.
