Chapter 72: The Playground (3)

Looking at Aleron coming with Princess Rias, Ben thought, 'Princess Rias is with him, so he must have good ties with the Longinus Empire. Now, the Aurspec clan must also want good ties with him.'

'Everyone wants to form good ties with him. Only I am on the chopping board, fuck.'

"Welcome, Mr. Aleron. We've been eagerly awaiting your arrival," Ben said with a smile as he bowed. "My name is Ben Frell."

"Thank you, and just call me Aleron," Aleron grinned as he recognized Ben from the broadcast screens.

'Just Aleron?' Ben sweated and weakly smiled, "That doesn't sound appropriate."

"Eh? Frankly, I am tired of people calling me mister," Aleron sighed.

"How about Young Master Aleron?" Ben suggested as he felt it was appropriate given Aleron's appearance and age.

"Young master, eh? Hahaha, alright. That sounds better."

Ben smiled and nodded, "Please follow me. I'll lead you to your temporary residence."
