The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 85: Cooperation Between Rid And Princess Irene

"So how is Rid Archie, do you want to be my girlfriend?" asked Irene's daughter.

I was still silent hearing the words of princess Irene. I was thinking of making a decision as to what was right at the request of princess Irene, accepting her or rejecting her.

"It seems you don't know what to answer. What took you so long to make that decision, Rid Archie?" asked Irene's daughter.

"Sorry daughter Irene, even if your request is just so I can be your fake lover. But I'm thinking about the advantages and disadvantages if I decide to accept or reject your request. If in both options, the profit outweighs the loss, I will choose that option. But I haven't made my choice yet so I'm sorry that I haven't been able to make a decision" I said.

"Gains and losses yes, hmmm right too. I forgot about that" said Irene's daughter.

"I'm asking you to be my fake lover and if you accept it it will be an advantage for me because I won't be participating in ~Matchmaking Battle~, but I don't think about what kind of profit you'll get if you accept my request. I'm sorry about that" continued Irene's daughter.

"So Rid Archie, what do you want as an advantage if you accept to be my lover?" asked Irene's daughter.

"Huh, I don't mean I wasn't expecting anything from princess Irene" I said.

"It's okay, this fake lover relationship we just think of as a cooperation contract. The name of the cooperation of each of us must benefit, right ? I've benefited instantly when you accept this fake lover relationship. It wouldn't be fair if I was the only one to benefit, so what do you want as your advantage ? I hope to give you this advantage so that you choose the answer 'yes' to my offer" said Irene's daughter.

I was silent and tried to think back. What advantage can I get from a Duke's daughter if I accept her offer.

"Do you want money ? but looking at your nature it seems you are not too interested in money. You can ask for anything and I will support it as long as I can" said Irene's daughter.

I kept thinking back until I finally got the answer.

"Daughter Irene, I will accept your request to be your lover but if you can respond to my request" I said.

"What request is it?" asked Irene's daughter.

"I hope it's not a strange request, Rid," Lily said.

"Where might I make a strange request to a Duke's daughter" I said.

Then I explained about my request.

"My request, I actually have a goal or dream that I must achieve after graduating from this academy but before reaching that goal, I must have a good position and influence in this kingdom. For that, can princess Irene guarantee that I will be able to get a good position in this kingdom later after I graduate?" I said.

Princess Irene and Leandra and Lily looked a little surprised at my request.

"Actually I don't want to use this way to get into the royal environment because the effect is like using an insider's path. But given the large number of nobles who hold important posts in the kingdom, I doubt that ordinary people like me will be elected to hold important positions like them if I use the usual way," I thought.

"A office in this government, huh ? shouldn't you ask this to prince Charles and princess Chloe who are members of the royal family?" asked princess Irene.

"I'm not friends with them to expect something like this. But since Irene's daughter proposed mutually beneficial cooperation, that's why I made a request like this. Is princess Irene able to grant it?," I asked.

Princess Irene fell silent and tried to think, and then she started talking.

"What position do you want is a position, honestly the position in the kingdom is very much so I do not know what position you want," said princess Irene.

"According to princess Irene of the many offices in the kingdom, what position can princess Irene choose for me?" I asked.

"Hmmmm," said Irene's daughter who was thinking back.

"Commander of Soldiers" said princess Irene.

I was a little surprised to hear the answer of princess Irene.

"Soldier Commander ? I did want to be the commander of the soldiers but I didn't think princess Irene could guarantee that I could hold that position" I thought.

"However, I cannot guarantee that you will become a Warrior Commander as soon as you graduate because the process to become a warrior commander is not fast. After graduating later, you must start from being an ordinary soldier first and then collect many achievements until you finally become one of the suitable candidates to become a warrior commander. This is my role because the new warrior commander is determined by the dukes. The Duke chose them. If you agree about that, I can have my father choose you when you are already a candidate for the commander of the soldiers. How ?," asked Irene's daughter.

I then fell silent and tried to think about princess Irene's offer.

"Indeed, I can't be the commander of the soldiers, yes, I understand that. However if the selection of the commander of the soldiers is determined by the dukes, at least I can get a vote from Duke San Lucia. It seems like this offer is not so bad," I thought.

"If just by that wasn't enough, what if after graduating later, rather than you enlisting as an ordinary soldier in the kingdom, what if you joined as a soldier in San Lucia ? Not only did the kingdom have soldiers, the dukes also had soldiers. In addition to selecting candidates from the suitable royal warriors to become the next warrior Commander, the dukes could also apply for their own soldiers to become commanders of the royal warriors. For example, my brother. Previously he was a Duke of San Lucia warrior and now he is one of the commanders of the Royal warriors" said Irene's daughter.

"Depending on the situation, if you join Duke San Lucia's warrior, I can instantly raise your rank when you just join. So you don't have to start from an ordinary soldier. If you have the results of your work and an excellent reputation as a Duke warrior, my father will definitely immediately propose you as the next warrior commander. Maybe the commander of the soldiers, still too small for you but by becoming the commander of the soldiers, it is not impossible if later you will be raised to the rank of Supreme Commander," said princess Irene.

"Actually the position of the warrior commander is enough for me, but supreme commander huh ? with such a high position, I was very confident that I could change this kingdom," I thought.

"How, isn't this offer not too bad?," said Irene's daughter.

"The previous offer wasn't so bad in my opinion, but this time princess Irene offered her an addition again. I may reject this offer" I thought.

I fell silent and tried to catch my breath, then exhaled.

"Alright, I accept this offer," I said.

"Then, we agree" said princess Irene as she extended her hand.

"Yet you finally agreed yes" said Leandra.

"Hore finally miss has a boyfriend" said Lily.

"Well, even if it's just pretend," said Leandra.

"There is no written contract in our cooperation, but I promise to fulfill your wishes" said Irene's daughter.

"I also promise to do my job" I said.

I grabbed that hand and shook it. My cooperation with princess Irene was created.

"Maybe I'm late in saying this because a deal has happened, but why are you giving me such a lot of advantages, daughter Irene ? though the advantage you get is a fake lover who makes you not participate in ~Matchmaking Battle~," I said.

"That's enough. I just don't want to get involved in the game of royal politics. Besides I give you a lot of advantages because you will be my lover at least until graduation later or when ~Matchmaking Battle~ is canceled. But I think this ~Matchmaking Battle~ will not be canceled even though only 1 daughter of Duke is left," said princess Irene.

"So yes, I will be your lover for a long time. Even so, as long as I become your lover, I will try to be a good lover" I said.

"......," Irene's daughter was silent.

"Ri-Rid, you, lest you're actually a romantic person huh ? Your talk just inexplicably sent me crashing, ", Lily said.

"I-I also, I didn't expect you to be able to say such a thing," Leandra said.

"Well, even though this relationship is just pretend, but at least we both have to look romantic so that people do not suspect us. That's why I try to use romantic words" I said.

"You're right, too, but it doesn't seem like your talk just made Miss Irene go down" Leandra said.

"As expected of the ice princess" Lily said.

The two of them looked at princess Irene, but princess Irene was silent.

"From that, I was wondering about your dream, Rid Archie. Why is it that to achieve your dream, you need important positions and positions in this kingdom ? Do you mind telling me what your dream is?" asked Irene's daughter.

"I'm also a little curious about your ideals" Leandra said.

"Me too" said Lily.

"My dream is yes, well I don't mind telling you about my dream. You know that the world we live in is divided into 2 parts, one part is led by angels and another part is led by demons" I said.

"Yes, even Mr. Alan also told me about angels and demons" said Irene's daughter.

Leandra and Lily nodded.

"My dream is to make this world one again and bring complete peace to this beautiful world" I said.
