The entire dining hall was instantly in a complete silence, everyone looked at the knight who was kneeling on the ground due to being stark naked.

Geez, whats there to look at? Its not that he will give good fortune.

If you people want to look, look at my handsome and cool finishing pose! Whats the use of looking at that idiot?

Well done! Very well done!

The King applauded as he said.

Youre really young and promising! This country requires a talent like you!

Immediately after, he looked towards Princess Syli.

A knight, was it? Alright, I shall permit it. However, I permit those that wish to challenge for your position to engage a challenge with you as well. But, if there are too many of these challenges, you will be troubled as well. Then, I shall set a limit, three times! Whoever has any objections, please step forward and initiate a challenge! Lets add on a reward as well then. If youre able to obtain victory in all three battles, I shall reward you with a hundred thousand gold.

I really feel sorry for winning cash from you every single time.

With this thought in mind, I bowed.

Thank you, your majesty.

Side Quest: Knight

Quest Objective: Complete the Knights challenges. [0/3] Reward: 1,000 EXP

Seems like the quest requirement for this quest is a little low, the EXP is so little But the reward money comes from outside the quest, so it can be considered as compensation, I guess.

If its a day, incidentally, I can stroll around the castle, and inspect all of the threatening aspects of the castle.

If possible, I can deal with the Forbidden Guards while Im at it. After all, if there are many ants on an elephant, the elephant would be bitten to death. Its best to be cautious.

The level of that Knight was 16. He was actually a level higher than the King, and there were no one else that had a higher level than him. And this was also the reason why, after I defeated this guy, no one else dared to utter a word.

Alright, then this matter has been set. Everyone that wish to dine, please stay. Its almost time for our dinner to be served.

Although the Kings face carried a smile

The matter was definitely not so simple.

Im sorry, I didnt expect to cause such a big trouble for you.

After dinner, following Arianha, Princess Syli and I was walking towards the northern tower, was the princesss bedroom was.

Of course, my mission is to simply stay at a nearby room as a guard. Please spare me from the princess play or something.

Its nothing much. Coincidentally, I can understand their abilities Of course, their hidden abilities as well.

Oh, youre rather confident and easy-going, huh.

The princess revealed an expression of admiration.

I cant be considered that way. After all, behind an able man there are always other able men. I might be a very strong existence in this country, but outside, Im merely mediocre.

Thats true. When I went to play in those empires back then, I have seen them as well. I could even feel that those regular soldiers were even more than a hundred times stronger than our countrys soldiers. If they wish to destroy our country, it would be as easy as moving ones hand.

And its exactly because its easy as moving their hands, they will not do such a thing. Firstly, taking over a new territory will require a new lord to be dispatched. This alone will waste a large amount of effort. And, if the stomachs of the population of a country cant be filled, dissatisfaction will spread throughout the territory, and will not be something that can be easily managed. Another point is, think about it, if a country can casually take over someone elses territory, the other countries will follow suit, and in the end, it will bring about a new round of continental wars. Theres completely no point to it at all.

Princess Syli stopped, and turned to look at me. Her eyes were filled with surprise.

I never expected that you would actually have such an opinion. Youre really not simple at all. To actually say such things on the fly, youre much stronger than those instructors in the Empire Academies, huh.

Im sorry, this isnt my opinion. Its just a few thoughts I accumulated after playing games for a long time.

Its not really an unique opinion.

No, no, no. What you said makes a lot of sense, especially the situation in our continent Alright, after this, you have to tell me about it. This should be very helpful in my political studies.

Alright, naturally, it isnt a problem.

As for the rest of the way, I can walk over by myself. Arianha, bring Feil to his lodging.

Yes, my princess.

Arianha nodded, and then, pointed to the side.

Mr. Feil, this way please.

Un.

But, when she said that, I had already saw that small square room not far away from the tower.

Although Arianha was currently walking towards it, I kept staring at that room.

What is it? Mr. Feil?

Later, do not approach that room. Its very dangerous.

Why?

Because, right now, theres a couple of strange people staying there. Theyre probably there to eliminate me.

Is that so If youre able to sense the people inside, then theres indeed a possibility. Because it has been a long time since that room has been used.

I see.

Originally, because no one was staying there, I had always never bothered to clean that room. Its really troublesome after all, to clean and whatever.

You actually said that out right in front of me. Couldnt you have held in those words?

Is there a matter? In any case, you wont mind either way, right?

Indeed. But, theres no need for you to worry as well.

Un, why is that so?

Because

I thought for a long time, however, I was still unable to think of how I could explain it to her. Hence, I directly used a heating magic spell in the direction of the room.

A moment later

Bang!!!!

With a loud bang, the entire room instantly turned into smithereens.

Because they have set up a bomb, and it can be activated through heat.

The hell, in that case, where am I going to sleep tonight?
