The furthest guy was the prince, and next to him his young wife. Both swallowed hard and looked at the king. Who raised his hand and the knights stopped.
Moustache guy - Murder ! He committed murder right in front of our eyes !!
Hikaru - Is that what defending yourself is called in this country ? If that's all you wanted from me your highness then I will leave now.
I nodded at the king and started walking towards the door.
The king - Wait ! You know that I have enough men to throw at you, that even your weapons won't be able to save you ? Right ?
Hikaru - And what have I done to deserve this treatment ? Have I said anything here that wasn't true ? Kill me just because I don't believe in your make believe entities ? What kind of difference is left between a herd of goblins and you civilized men ?
The prince - You...! Speak...
King - Enough ! He is right, he was invited here on behalf of my name, do you want to kill a guest?
The queen - I apologize your highness, I spoke in anger. I just couldn't bear Holy priestess in such a state...
The king - If you be so kind as to tend to her..
The queen left with the Priestess in her arms, who was still murmuring some nonsense. The bride also left with them, I noticed that she never said anything on serious topics. But she was the second one who composed herself after the young knight when I killed the two knights.
We changed the room again, this time only 6 of us.
The king - So everything you sell is from your country?
Hikaru - Yes, some of them are my products but mostly they're bought.
Robe guy - Even your weapons?
Hikaru - No, those are mine. It's still in the experimental phase but I have stock of my old versions of this product. I need time to check on them and make sure everything is working fine.
The king - How much time?
Hikaru - A year at most...
Robe guy - A year... And how many can we expect?
Hikaru - 20000 something...
They all had their eyes wide, the young knight had the darkest expressions.
Moustache guy - That's more than enough to arm all our forces...
Robe guy - Okay, so let's get to the main point shall we ? What's your price ?
Hikaru - Every piece I make is an exquisite work of art, it takes a lot of rare materials to make just one. Making just one costs me around 35 to 50 gold coins.
Robe guy - That's...
The king - How could you afford to make it such qualities if it costs so much ?
Hikaru - It was a combined effort of my friend the prince and I, he handled the material problems and I did the production. We planned to sell this to someone who really needs it and have such coffers, our empire prohibits storing so many weapons so we planned to do it in foreign land, unfortunately before that I ended up here.
Young knight - Other foreign lands ?
Hikaru - The world is vast my friend. You guys are not the first civilization we found.
The king - How many are there?
Hikaru - Who knows? The main ones are 4 I guess. Not all lands are united you know? Fighting everywhere for resources and faith and all kinds of dumb reasons. Me? I prefer to make tons of money and live like royalty.
Moustache guy: And you think your people are superior to everyone?
Hikaru - Well i don't know what field you consider us superior in but if it's just plain fighting power then yes, we have enough ships and advance weapons to rule any region we wish, it would be a hassle to do so though. Since everyone already does what we ask them why do such things...
Young knight - What about Us?
Hikaru - Well, other than the natural resources there is nothing worthwhile to be of any note here you know? Mostly I think people will leave it as it is. Better to find new lands...
Moustache - Are you saying we are not worth considering even your enemies? You insolent...
The king - Enough... It's just words in the wind. We can neither ascertain the validity of his claims or choose to ignore it. But one thing is real an that is the things he has... So Hikaru Stormchaser, will you sell us your precious weapons?
Hikaru - Of course, that's why I am here right? Provided that people leave me and my friends in peace.
Robe guy - How about we make contracts after some time mulling over the details on our own?
The king - Yes, no one will harm you. How about a week ?
Everyone nodded.
The king - I invite you Hikaru Stormchaser friend of the Araknese Kingdom once again in a week's time. Until then you may leave.
I left the castle and walked back to my home/shop.
I knew that with my mentality and lecherous nature, the so-called church will have a valid reason to come after me. And people are really believers in this kingdom. At least I eliminated the possibility of such accidents from happening by the crazy zealots by becoming an official guest of the royalty. But it won't be so happy-go-lucky for me, making me a potential threat also means inviting various political parties and even the ire of ambitious priests and powerful people. At least it won't turn ugly in the near future after today, it's not like anyone has enough strength to hurt me, that I have seen yet.
That Young knight had this powerful aura, maybe there are few hidden talents that can restrain me or even find a way to kill me. But I doubt it. The king would have already made such a person his sword and dealt with his neighbors which according to guild information were always experiencing small skirmishes.
Just as I climbed up the stairs i saw Beatrice reading a book on the little sitting arrangement we had on veranda. Mimi was leaning on the wall looking down on the street, Irene was missing. They had already seen me coming from afar.
Hikaru - Where is Irene?
Mimi - Sleeping in her room...
Hikaru - What you looking at ?
Mimi - People, they look so stupid going from here to there.
Beatrice - How was it? Did you make the deal?
Hikaru - No, but we will in a week.
Beatrice - You will give them weapons in a week?
Hikaru - No, just signing the contract. I bought a year with the delivery.
Beatrice - Ohh that is impressive! What will you do in a year?
Mimi - Go to another place?
Hikaru - No, I have made up my mind to live in this city for a while. Interesting things might happen in a year you know...
Irene - You are scheming something again !
She surprised me by walking on her toes behind me. I didn't hear a single step.
Irene - Oh! I recognize that face ! It's the face you made before fucking that merchant's wife...
Beatrice - Oh my !
Mimi - How many women have you done the did with ?
Hikaru - I honestly don't remember... But my favorite is this one...
I pointed at Irene's titties. Squishing her nipple with my one finger.
Beatrice - Why is she your favorite?
Hikaru - She may look like an emotionless doll but her mind is filled with snu-snu all day long.
Irene - I do not ! And what the hell is snu-snu ?
Beatrice - I see what you are talking about, she sure had interesting expressions last night...
Irene - You... You were even more into it than me...
Mimi - Enough guys... I don't want to hear your snu-snu stories.
Her face was flushed and her tail wagging around like not knowing where to stay. Her hands were near her crotch.
Hikaru - Is masturbation allowed?
Mimi - Huh? What?
Hikaru - In this religion of yours, is touching yourself allowed?
Mimi - Uhm, No one ever said anything about it but girls in my Village did talk about such stuff once.
Beatrice - You never tried it..?
Mimi - Of course I have. I doesn't work, the mating season is no joke.
