The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

156 – Change (4)

The king of the kingdom. One who rules a kingdom.

A person who holds all the power in the kingdom.

At first glance, it seems like it will have a huge impact on the story.

In fact, it barely appears in the story.

Rumor has it that they just eat, drink, and play every day.

Even while the war is going on, they just enjoy the party in peace.

Literally an incompetent king.

I wasn’t very happy about the fact that I had caught the eye of someone like that.

“The King awarded you a knighthood?”

Colleen, who was listening from the side, was filled with joy and her voice rose.

Do you have an illusion about the title of knight?

Also, there was one more person who was just as happy as Colin.

“It went really well. Seohyun deserved it!”

Celica was also smiling brightly, as if she was excited.

You can’t be irritated or look serious in a situation like this.

When I accepted it with a moderate nod, the old man smiled kindly.

“When I return to the capital, I plan to have an audience with the King in person.”

“Are you sure I’m alone?”

“Yes. Seohyun is the only person to have received a knighthood.”

I couldn’t hide my doubts about the old man’s words.

Why didn’t Erina, Kayla, and Serica, who were with me, receive titles?

It was certainly strange that even Erina, who had made her greatest contribution, did not receive any.

But no one seemed to care except me.

“There will be chaos when we return to the capital.”

“There might be a lot of people gathered here!”

Colin and Celica were chatting with excitement.

“… “

Erina was hiding behind me, looking at the old man with distrust.

Kayla just kept her mouth shut as usual.

“To begin with, the title of knight is one that cannot be received carelessly.”

“Even so, my colleagues…”

“I think it would be nice to think that Seohyun was given the title as representative.”

The old man also seemed to have noticed and was scolding me in a gentle voice.

Actually, if you think about it, it was a natural thing.

Even in the first story, only Erina received a knighthood.

Celica and Tyria did not receive knighthood.

In fact, he was just in the same position as Erina’s subordinate.

Of course, it wasn’t a problem in terms of the story.

Even now, in a similar vein, it would be nice to think that I was the only one to receive the title.

“It would be good to know that a coronation ceremony will be held when you arrive in the capital.”

“…I understand first.”

I don’t really like it, but I can’t not not accept it.

For now, I decided to postpone the matter of knighthood until later.

There was something else that had to be done first.

“Okay. Then, let’s go to the conference room. Sir.”

“Yes. “Let’s go together.”

The old man smiled kindly and invited me to accompany him.

Although he looked quite old, his gait and posture were straight.

A while ago, while we were talking, honorifics and courtesy were ingrained in me.

‘I’ve never seen a person like this before.’

If he was a member of the delegation, there would be no way I would remember him.

Even if he were a noble, his status would not be very high.

Then it’s natural that I don’t remember.

However, you could guess that he was a good man just by looking at his actions and tone of voice.

What is the reason why the country does not collapse despite the king’s incompetence?

Even if the king does not step forward, an outstanding person is ruling the country.

This old man might have been one of them.

“Oh. “Did you get here quickly?”

As soon as we entered the conference hall, Julia was waiting for us.

She had already finished preparing for the meeting and was sitting leisurely at the table.

Of course, with a glass of alcohol in her hand.

“Julia. Please stop drinking…!”

“Don’t worry. “I will take care of it.”

Still, isn’t it a bit wrong to drink alcohol in the morning?

Moreover, there will be negotiations with the elves soon.

Isn’t it possible to show a person who is drunk and incoherent?

“Ah… what?!”

Just like that, he took Julia’s drinking glass and handed it to Colin.

While Julia was embarrassed, Colin quickly handed it over to her servants.

Just like that, the glass disappeared into the kitchen.

“At that level, you’re addicted to alcohol.”

“Who cares! “Give me back my drink quickly!”

Before she could blow her bottle, she snatched the bottle from the table.

When the alcohol finally wore off, Julia let out a sigh full of dissatisfaction.

“He said he had a hard time working from early in the morning. “This is okay.”

“Drink later after the meeting. “It’s too early now.”

Yulia asks to be asked if she has finally given up.

Meanwhile, he was grumbling and getting irritated.

“Tsk, are you planning on nagging me too?”

“I’m saying this because I’m worried. “Try to drink less.”

This world was a bit tolerant of alcohol.

I may be lenient because I don’t know much about the dangers of alcohol.

At least there was common sense that drinking alcohol all the time was dangerous.

Yulia’s drinking habits have long since gone too far.

She couldn’t help but nag.

“Ugh. Okay. “I’ll have to drink it with Catalina later.”

Did he make me a drinking buddy without my knowledge?

I could already hear Colin and Malcolm sighing.

It’s not that I hate alcohol, but I didn’t enjoy it like those two people did.

She just loved having fun, drinking and having fun with her friends.

She rarely drank until she was openly drunk.

“Anyway, are you ready for the meeting?”

“Yes. Now only the elves can come.”

The people currently gathered are me, Julia, and the old man from the delegation.

Now that I think about it, aren’t there people other than the old man in the delegation?

When I asked the old man, he answered with a shy smile.

“The others will not be attending today.”

“Yes? “What does that mean?”

When I expressed my doubt, Julia intervened.

“Ha… Those kids. “You really just cause trouble.”

According to Julia, a total of three delegates, including an old man, came.

But there is only one person who does the job properly.

The remaining two are said to be just playing around and neglecting their duties.

“I can’t believe the people who claim to be the representatives of the kingdom are like this.”

“It’s nothing short of a spectacle.”

“Do you know how disgusting it is to see people like that bragging about being nobles?”

When Julia grumbled in an irritated voice, the old man waved his hand to stop her.

It seemed like he was defending them as they were nobles, but it didn’t have any effect on Julia.

After that, after pouring out complaints about the nobles for a long time, he stopped talking.

“I’m glad I have Old Man George. “If I made a mistake, I would have ended up negotiating alone.”

“I’m also fortunate to have Yulia and Seohyun.”

Was his name George? He didn’t even know his name until now.

Anyway, even with the remaining two exceptions, the elves did not come.

It’s still before the scheduled time, so let’s wait a bit.

“Would you like some tea and snacks?”

“Okay, just a little bit please.”

At my words, Colin and the servants came forward and prepared for tea time.

Meanwhile, my colleagues and I sat down on chairs.

Of course, Erina and Kayla were next to me.

Celica took a seat next to Kayla.

“Erina. You must remain quiet during negotiations. Got it?”

“Yes. All right…”

Erina quietly followed my instructions.

If the other person stays still, I will stay still too.

The words that followed like excuses had disappeared.

After that, even when tea and snacks were served, I was so depressed that I didn’t even touch my mouth.

I was just wary of my surroundings and glancing at people.

Then Yulia also looked at Erina with her puzzled expression.

“I was sorry yesterday.”

“…”

“I made a mistake. “I also apologized to Seohyun separately.”

Julia extends her hand of reconciliation.

First, he raised a teacup and suggested a toast.

But Erina said nothing and just glared at Yulia.

I, who was worse off, scolded Erina.

“Erina. “You must accept reconciliation.”

“…Yes.”

But Erina only answered and did not accept the toast.

In the end, I accepted Julia’s toast.

“I’m sorry. “Erina was a little sensitive too.”

Then Julia smiled as if it was okay.

“We’ll be seeing each other often from now on, but it’s a bit weird if our relationship is bad.”

“Yes. “Thanks to you, I received a lot of help.”

It is impossible to defeat the Demon King alone.

This is the same reason why I worked hard to gather colleagues.

Not just people who will go on the battlefield together.

People who would help and support me were also important.

At first, Julia was just an extra to me.

Before I knew it, she had become my important assistant.

“Ah. And did she tell you about knighthood?”

“I already heard it from George.”

I didn’t really feel like it, but I guess I had no choice but to accept it.

Then Julia looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“What’s wrong? “Don’t you feel good?”

“Well. “It’s not that good, is it?”

The expression of incomprehension is the gaze of many people looking at me.

Including Julia, George, Serica, and Colin.

Everyone was looking at me with puzzled eyes.

“Don’t misunderstand. “It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I’m a little worried.”

“What is it about?”

“I don’t like attracting people’s attention. “It’s not very pleasant to be dragged around following orders.”

I’m not worried for nothing.

Even in the first episode, as the protagonist rose to a higher position, the pressure around him became more severe.

While being dragged to the battlefield and dealing with the devil’s army, he had to be criticized by people.

I was worried that I might run into that situation too.

Then Julia waved her hand as if it was no big deal.

“Am I worrying for nothing?”

“I should have worried about that in the first place. “Don’t worry about it.”

She said she would take responsibility, proudly puffing out her chest.

Of course, you can say something like that because you don’t know what will happen in the future.

Anyway, I decided to believe what she said.

“Yes. “I will believe it.”

While we were talking over and over again.

Finally, the door opened with the voice I had been waiting for.

“Ah. Seohyun!”

As soon as my eyes met hers, Tyria waved her hand.

And Aeria followed behind her and quietly greeted her.

“I’m sorry. “Are we late by any chance?”

“No. “It came rather quickly.”

A little earlier than the scheduled time.

Finally, everyone gathered for negotiations.

Tyria and Eyria sitting across from us.

And the three elf warriors guarding them stood behind Tyria and waited.

When everyone finally sat down, Julia cut off her introduction.

“Well, it’s a little early, but it’s okay if we start right away, right?”

“Yes. It’s okay.”

“Okay. “Then I’ll start right away.”

And so the negotiations between the elves and the kingdom began.
