"I am very sorry for what you had to go through, Sir Leonhard, but I ask you not to lose hope in the Kingdom, now you go to get treated and rest, you have done more than enough." The Queen keeps apologizing about what happened and by mentioning my injuries all the girls reacted.
Even Nysynea's wishes disappeared and were changed by thoughts of worry towards me, which caused the girls to go into a small despair attack, not really knowing what to do, as they know that my wounds are real or at least they reflect my total HP. Cha Hae-In on the other hand reacts normally, since she probably thinks my state is a illusion or something.
"I didn't die when I was fighting, so I won't die now, although I would like to... I dare to ask... did I do something to annoy his Majesty? I know this is can be a rude question but I really need to know. " I ask the Queen who just sighs and puts her hand to her forehead, while I signal to the girls to start to disperse the crowd.
"I honestly don't know Sir Leonhard, I would like to know the answer to this, but there really isn't one, tell me what do you think of the Crown?." Weren't we talking about something else? Does he want to know if I'm loyal or not? There are really many ways to take the question...
"As a subject, I respect it, I know very well the duties and obligations that this entails, but as an individual I really don't want to have anything to do with it." The queen just starts blinking, was she asking me something different? I turn to look at the other Archdukes who see me almost the same way.
"Leonhard, a question I hope you answer it as quickly as you can, I really don't mean anything with this, if at this moment you became the King, what would you do?" Ian Walter asks me and everyone else seems very interested in it, even Cha Hae-In and the girls.
"Ughh, I would surely abdicate before entering the throne room." Everyone is surprised to see the disgusted face I make.
"Why? Please give us a more concrete answer as to why you would abdicate. " this time Schedar Nerius asks me.
"Sigh.... Do you really think I'm going to be able to govern? My way of thinking really doesn't work for it, thinking about having to sit every day and listen to idiots complaining, no offense, day and night... I would probably end up killing half of the nobles before the end of the day." At least I feel a little calmer when they weren't offended by insulting the nobles.
"I don't believe you. All these people, your soldiers, they fully trust you and work in a very effective and organized manner. This speaks very well of your ability to organize and lead an army, why do you think you could not do the same with a Kingdom?" Now it's old Kronecker's turn to ask me, do they want me to take the throne? That will never happen...?
"It is very different, a country cannot be led as if you led an army. The soldier only obeys and must be supplied with all his needs to continue working, the citizen wants to be able to live better, so they will look for a way to progress, which in turn is the ruler's responsibility to provide.
Hence there is no way that a country survives a long time if it is administered in the same way as the army.... It's stupid to talk about things you're not....." I just remembered, this Kingdom works in a strange way, it is a feudalist society of unified city states, in fact each city has a different system of government....
"For someone who really doesn't want to govern, you really know what you're doing and you really opened our eyes to problems that are currently happening... I really feel it's a waste leaving you in a military." old Kronecker say.
"Look, I don't know where this conversation is going or what you want to achieve, but I don't want, will or going to be a politician, there is no way for that to happen, my place will always be on the battlefield where I don't have to worry about anything." It's not like that really distances me from politics, much less when you specialize in intelligence...
"It really is a great loss, I would be a great ruler... even so you're someone we really can't lose if we want to remain a strong nation, so tell me what you want?" Should I be grateful or worried that the Queen wants me to be king? But well the Queen ask me something simple....
I start to think about what I want to do... gain more strength? I only need to discover a material for the 4th job, More subordinates? I have multiple tickets with soldiers loyal only to me, Resources? They are always good but I don't think they can supply me with the quantities I need, it is better to buy it in a modern world. Women? I have more than enough that if I decided to spend a day with each one of them I wouldn't see them again for a few years...
Riches? Yes... this is what I need the least... Rule? I am practically the king in my castle and territory, if I want to become ruler I can go to other worlds and obtain it on my own, it is more entertaining that way... at this moment I realize something very important.... What do I want? Now that I think about it, I told the system that I would help it get revenge, but once I achieve it, what? I really don't have anything I want or need to do.....
I keep thinking and denying various possibilities, I really can't think of anything that I can't get or that I already have and from what I see I'm starting to show it on my face...
"Now I understand why the King is worried about you... you are so young, you are only 25 years old and it seems like you have no desires, even if you climb your way to be a Count a high ranking noble and a General of your own Order, people like you are the ones who are the most likely being ambitious, greedy and treacherous...." As I don't give a answer Maximilian Lugenburg speaks and to tell the truth I would also keep a closer eye on bastards like that too...
"Calm down, you are making Sir Leonhard uncomfortable, we are not assuming anything here, we are the ones who asked him and to tell the truth I believe in him, he really does not want to be the King or obtain more power. Although it's not because he can't, it's simply because he doesn't really want to. Since if he tries it, who does you think is capable of stopping it?" The Queen is really very capable, that idiot king won the lottery with a wife like this.
'But my desires huh.... I don't really think about anything, the fact that I don't even think about having a family really worries me too, I talk about my wives very often but do I really see them as such? The only way I see myself in the future is by fighting or die fighting....
I need to change that, I have to get more involved with them, not just Kirkena and Ruri, I have to create true bonds with the other girls, no my girls, they are not just a responsibility that I decided to shoulder... If I don't have desires I simply have to create them, but for that I need to accept myself and others.
Heh to think that something so simple to know eluded me so much, well let's return Pyrrha, Kurumi and Kuroka to their world's first, after that I'll start to really create relationships with everyone, It will be good to create a real relationship with the Chat members as well.' I feel like I grew as a person, finally achieving a small personal goal.
"You will not escape so easily Lord Leonhard, I want to know what you would do, if you really wanted to be King, what would be your way of governing , I really want to know what a hero and general like you thinks about that, someone who is willing to fight against superior enemies without taking a step back and who in turn knows the way common people live." Schedar Nerius asks me and I really want to get out of here now, I know I just discovered what I want but one step at a time...
"Come on Schedar, don't put Lord Leonhard in trouble any more than he already is, I'll ask you an easier question, how would you define your way of living?" and this Bastard of Kronecker say it was an easier question...
'Sigh... what the hell do they want from me, I'm just a Gamer, I just realized my desires and in any case my place to shine is the multiverse, not being the King of a small country in a forgotten world... and seeing how everyone present is watching me even my girls, I'll have to answer seriously... I know!' I smile a little and give my answer as I start walking to the west.
"Be strong so that no one defeats you, be noble so that no one humiliates you, be humble so that no one offends you and continue being you so that no one forgets you." I don't know exactly where I heard this but it's good that I did, thanks... whoever said that (Paulo Coelho). I walk towards the west gate and the wind begins to blow slightly, lifting my cloak and the sun is rising at my back...
'Shit! Why the hell don't I have anyone in front of me! I have the complete pose and I have no way to immortalize it! I must look great with my cape billowing and the sun at my back...' I place my hand on my sword and take my spear as I continue posing at least someone has to be watching me now....
******
I quickly arrive at my Mansion on the outskirts of Prontera, on the way people cheer on me or/and thank me, totally different from that idiotic bastard, he's probably worrying about this too, I to stay and talk to them for a bit but everyone immediately rushes me asking me to go and treat my wounds first.
Don't they realize if I were really as injured as I am, I would have died a long time ago? how can someone be walking with a lung and stomach completely pierced, besides a large hole in stomach without any problem? And that's if I survived long enough to not die from blood loss or trauma first...
I go to the pier of the mansion, where I can see how my two ships are unloading supplies with the help of the citizens, from what I see, they are unloading corn and wheat? Huh? Wheat costs 100 and corn 120? Interesting... as I walk to them I look around behind me.
'Where are Cha Hae-In and the rest of the girls? They weren't coming after me?' While I think that and turn to look for them I see them approaching the Mansion
"Master!" I hear a someone calling me and Akhene comes running towards me with her whitesmith outfit, look how they jump... I'm already cured and relaxed! I don't need to rest or heal anymore! I guess I found my way to live!? "It's good to finally see you again!" As she finish speaking she comes to hug me...
'Yes it's good to feel them again, I realize I'm a very simple man...I just need a pair of tits to be happy...I really can't complain about Issei- huh?'
[Akhene Dhushri LVL: 150 Title: Apprentice of Leonhard . Thoughts about you. Excitement, Curiosity, Pervert, She wants to know if you want her undress, want to show you her body.... Status:.....]
"How was your trip? Did you have any problems?" Well at least it's simpler than Nysynea's, Akhene is just an exhibitionist. Behind her I see Amisra also coming, with a small smile on her face, although what I read surprises me a little more.
[Amisra Liatris LVL: 150 Title: Servant of Leonhard . Thoughts about you. Excitement, Curiosity, Dazed, She wants to taste more of your semen... Status:.....]
'Two questions, Where? and How? I really don't remember doing anything with her... So all my subordinates are perverts... to tell the truth it doesn't surprise me much, I had already noticed it before, at least the men only have loyalty towards me.' I can only nod my head from time to time listening to what Akhene was saying.
"..... I was really surprised by that old turtle... but although it was fun and all this is really not for my Master, I only want to serve you, so I would like you to choose someone else to guide the caravan." Yes and being naked while you do it... It is really interesting to be able to read his thoughts, it is really difficult for someone not to think that he became a god like this.
"Amisra, you don't want to do it either?" When I ask her she just say no and lower her head, like she was sorry... but really she's just looking at my crotch. "Very well then, Akhene I have some interesting metals for you to see, Amisra I also have some plants and recipes for new potions too..." I was going to tell them that I was going to fulfill their wishes too, but unfortunately Cha Hae-In and the others arrive, so I have to shut up.
"Now what are you going to do Leonhard? Apparently you have a huge enmity with the King." Cha Hae-In asks me, looking a little more at my wounds until apparently she detects something and inserts his finger into the hole in my chest... "Wow they really look real...?"
"Nothing is not a big deal... hmmm if you want to touch my heart a kiss on the cheek is more than enough, you don't have to do it literally." I try to joke a little, but it doesn't have the desired effect...
"It look so real... wait are you really that hurt!? Come on quickly, enter the mansion! We have to heal you! First aid, First aid, First aid.... apply pressure to the wound not.... Help to breathe! Yes Oxygen! You need oxygen!" I can see how Cha Hae-In is starting to get more and more hectic, although she still hasn't taken her finger out of my chest.
"Cha Hae-In, do you remember that I have a small fruit that heals any wound?" I just see how she stares at me, although after a while he seems to react to my words. "Hmmm, I know that you want to experiment being the one who introduces things to another person and all that, but believe me, I don't like it when you put your fingers inside me. I'm not interested in that or at least use your tongue please." I can see how Cha Hae-In.exe stopped working and she still doesn't take his finger off my chest...
"On the other hand, do you want to go to Skyrim Cha Hae-In? To meet the rest of the members in that world" Apparently I managed to change the topic, or not as Cha Hae-In is not reacting. Sigh... sorry Jin-woo.
"Kyaahh! Your hands where I can see them!" Cha Hae-In was really shocked, she didn't react until I practically touched everything from her clothes, and only because I covered my hand with Ice she finally reacted...
"Hand. Out. Now." Cha Hae-In finally reacts and takes out her finger, which she had already completely inserted into my chest, Huh? That's a piece of meat... I quickly move to avoid her seeing it... and why all the girls are thinking how to use their tongues... I don't know whether to really love or hate this improvement to the AI, I will blame DxD for this.
