Tomorrow.
Thorwn royal palace, throne room.
Since Iona said there was something she wanted to tell her father, I drove her here. Even so, the higher-ups are here as well. ‘This should be a private conversation between the daughter and her father.’
“Dad.”
“Iona, what's wrong? Why are you back, what about your academy?”
“Dad, I want to ask permission to be the representative of this kingdom.”
“Government representatives, for what?”
“Making alliances with other kingdoms.”
“Daughter, are you out of your mind. What do you want to make an alliance for, do you want to ignite another new war!!” (Height)
“This is the reason I hate adults who are quick to rise in blood, not even hearing the reason and instead accusing the no-no. People like you should..”.
“Hold Ari, don't get mad just yet. Let them.”
“If you say so, how else.”
“Iona, can you tell me why you want to do that?” (King)
“Good, I'll explain.” Iona began to explain everything, about the great assault that would occur later from the attack of the demon lord. At first they were all a little surprised and in disbelief, but after Iona explained all the details she had they all started to understand the situation.
“Then, dad allows you. As king, I allow you to be a representative of this kingdom. Make a big alliance and win this war.”
“Thanks.”
Iona looks so happy, though somehow I'm so proud of her. Maybe because he did it alone without my help. ‘She has grown.’ Seeing this progress I am very happy. “Iona, let's go.”
“Wait, there are 1 more thing I want to say.”
“Huh? Still there?”
“Yes, this is an important thing and my main goal is to get here.”
“So this is not your main goal.”
“Iya. What I'm going to talk about is the purpose I came here.”
“Iona, say.” (King)
“Dad, I want to ask for your blessing to marry Ari.”
“Eh?” I'm surprised he'll say that.
“P-daughter, what are you saying!!!” (Height)
“Princess, think carefully. If you marry that ordinary young man, this kingdom will only gain shame. Think about it.”
“Cih, at a time like this still think of things like that.”
“Ari, relax. Father, I beg your blessing.”
“Then, how else. King, I also ask for your permission and also your blessing to marry your daughter.”
“Ari..”.
Iona looked at me. “This is what you want, not.”
“What can you give my daughter?”
“Everything. The thing she needs, I can give her everything.”
“Are you willing to take care of my daughter?”
“Even if I had to sacrifice my life though, I would. Because to me, Iona is the most precious person in my life.”
“So, alright.”
“Yang Mulia.Please consider again, there are many people who want to marry a daughter and a daughter's life can also happen. If you are with him, how is it possible. Please, your majesty, think again. This is in the interest of the people and also the government.”
“It was his own choice, as long as he was happy it didn't matter.”
“Daddy, thanks.”
“Yang noble.”
The higher-ups looked disappointed by what the king revealed, although on the other hand the king looked happy. “Starting now, please take care of my daughter.”
“Good, leave it to me.”
A short time after, a letter as the representative of the kingdom was made and directly handed over to Iona. Meeting's done.
Outdoors.
“Iona, wait.” (King) When we wanted to return, the king approached us.
“Dad, what's up?”
“There's something I want to discuss with both of you.”
“I?”
Dining room.
Since we have not eaten, we talk about it while eating. “Mother is also here.”
“Yes, we haven't eaten together in a long time like this. Then, it looks like this family will increase it makes the mother quite happy. Looks like you've found a guy that suits you.”
“Iya.”
“Ehem... Ari, this question is actually for you.” (King)
“Eh? For me?”
“Iya, it's about marriage for both of you.”
“A-dad, i-it's too fast and again the condition is not fitting. I'm sure Ari thought the same thing.” (Lion)
“No problem kok.”
“Eh? I didn't hear wrong?”
“Yes, no problem. Although the attack of the demon lord was not yet known when it would appear here, there was a possibility that their journey here was currently impeded. But, if you want to determine the time I also do not matter.”
“T-wait, why?”
“If you say that, isn't this what you want?”
“Hahahaha, you are looking forward to finding the man who attracted my daughter.”
“Honey, keep your way.”
“Ahhh, sorry. So, when?”
“I, don't know. Ari, what if you were?”
“Iona, I'm leaving, there's something a little out of plan. It's up to you, I'll recruit you. Then I go.”
“T-wait.”
\=\=\=\=
Ari's gone. “Magic it.” (Mother)
“Ahhh, Ari learned it from sister Risa. Teleportation magic.”
“Looks like he's a great young man.”
“Iya.”
“Pardon him dad, but there is something important he has to do.”
“Something is more important than this talk.”
“Perhaps, this concerns the special forces issue I lead. He will leave if there is a problem, there may already be a problem.”
“Special forces, yours. What are they doing?”
“Ari cooperated with the king of the kingdom of Guil to take over his territory again, therefore he ordered my army to do so. Maybe he went to help them.”
“Capture territory? Why would he do that?”
“Begini.” I explained, what Ari had told me about something in the area why dad.
“Rune special place where the heroes fall asleep?!” (Mother)
“Yes, but for some reason Ari said that doing so was futile. Even so the king still forced, therefore Ari did it. The rest he will hand over to the kingdom of Guil.”
“So, it seems like he has become a busy person even though he is still young. Unlike your father, his behavior only practiced sword training every day, but it didn't work. I'm sure he can definitely take good care of this kingdom, properly’kan so dear.”
“Iya. Even so, his attitude had to be changed. Iona, you have to teach her a lot about the kingdom.” (Dad)
“I guess if I did that, it would just bother him. Besides, he doesn't like these kinds of things. When I said, he would say something like this. I still have a lot of work to do, and I don't have time to take care of that kind of trouble anyway. So.”
“Wah, what a free man.” (Mother)
“Once, that means you need someone who will take the place of father as king.” (Dad)
“Superior?”
“Iya, how about a child?”
“Wah, mom can't wait to see mom's granddaughter.”
“Eh?!! I-it's too fast, I haven't even thought of such a thing.”
“What did you say, your mother and father got married when you were 15. After that 2 years later mom gave birth to you, at this time you should have been able to have a child.”
“But..”.
“How else, if no one becomes the king of this age will be a mess. There will be a time when your son will be the ruler of this kingdom, until then comes the father who will take care of all the affairs of this kingdom. As much as possible I want to immediately carry a grandson, I am impatient.”
“Moooo. Why do you guys want to be alone.”
Not long after that, Ari returned.
“Ari, are you done?”
“Iya.”
“What happened?”
“There was a little problem during the attack earlier, it's a good thing I realized it quickly otherwise there might be a victim on our side.”
“So, then how is the condition now?”
“The area has been captured, and the rest is only up to the king.”
“So.”
“Oh yes, what about the talk? What went well?”
“Ahhh, we just discussed it. Ari, how about your wedding is next week?” (Mother)
“I-mom, it's too sudden.” The words expressed by my mother surprised me.
“Alright, if Iona doesn't mind it I won't mind either.”
“Eh?”
“Means it's decided.”
“Ari, when you marry my daughter, you will be king. Do you agree with that?” (Dad)
“Hmmmm, how, yes. Being a king was an arduous task, and surely it would definitely be troublesome. Besides, I have a lot of work to do, and I don't have time to take care of that kind of trouble anyway.” (Pri)
“Wah, it turns out that what Iona said was true.” (Mother)
“I told you earlier.”
“Huh? What are you talking to them about me?”
“Nothing, just talk about your habits.”
“But Ari, are you ready to get involved in matters of royal affairs?”
“If only being a person who works behind the scenes I am ready, after all I do not really like to have to deal with the crowd directly especially if I have to discuss things that I do not like. But take it easy, I can do it.”
“That's right, Ari is a great person. I'm sure he can make this kingdom even more advanced than this time.” I believe that he can do it, so I am very proud to say this.
“So, then this conversation is over. Remember, next week is your wedding.” (King)
“Oh yes, how about the engagement of princess Risa?” (Pri)
“True also, the engagement of Risa has often been postponed because of many problems that occur. I don't think it's good to postpone it continuously.”
“No problem, I don't care about it.” (Risa) Sister Risa came here.
“Risa, you've come.” (Mother)
“Ahhh, sorry I'm late. By the way Iona, don't worry about my engagement, I'll be fine. Besides, you should be getting ready for your wedding next week. Ahhhh, I can finally see Iona wearing a graceful wedding dress, and for you Ari..”.
“I?”
“You should look handsome and cool when your wedding starts. Remember that.”
“B-good.”
“I can't wait to see that, I want to quickly see Iona in a wedding dress. You will definitely be a very beautiful girl if you use it.”
“You're too much Risa.”
“Iona, it's time.”
“Eh, yes too. Father, mother, sister Risa we will go first.”
“Where are you going?” (Risa)
“Sky palace, me and others would like to discuss about the next plan that will be used to make the royal alliance.”
“Sky palace?! You mean the palace of the heroes who flew in the sky?”
“Eh? Sister Risa tau?”
“I thought it was just a fairy tale, I didn't think it really existed.”
“Then, does sister Risa also want to come?”
“Eh, really? What can?”
“Ari, can’?”
“Of course, after all that place is also yours.”
“Then, sister Risa, come.” I held Risa's hand, while Ari held mine. “Dad, Mom, we go.”
“Ya.”
“See you later.” We went towards the sky kingdom together with the very enthusiastic sister Risa.
