Common Occurrence In The World Of Nobles

"Are you the adventurers that rescued my daughter? I must express my gratitude. I am truly grateful, thank you."

The Duke, the King's younger brother, who said that bowed to us.

"Raise your head. Pleasantries such as bowing don't matter to me. We only rescued your daughter because we wanted to and not because it is our duty."

I nonchalantly comment on the Duke's actions and he replies to me as his attention was focused on me rather than my brother and his companions. The Duke must have labeled me as the leader of the group so he talked to me instead of the others.

"Is that so. thank you."

"Once again let me introduce myself. I am Alfred Ernes Ortlinde."

The Duke introduced himself as I also began to introduce myself. It is impolite not to introduce yourself when others have introduced themselves.

"I am Immortal King Seref Mochizuki, the king of the Immortal Race. Please to make your acquaintance."

"Are you a king? the same as my brother? If so, I apologize for not gracing you of your presence."

"Don't mind it. As I have said before, pleasantries don't matter to me."

I prevent Alfred from performing a bow after I introduce my identity as a king by holding his shoulder to prevent himself from lowering his body to perform a bow.

Alfred is a kind man who loves his daughter and that alone deserves my respect.

...

"I see, so you guys came to the royal capital at the request of the guild to deliver a letter."

We are sitting down, facing the Duke on the terrace facing the garden on the second, and enjoying tea. Although the tea is not as good as what Gakupo brews for me, it is passable so I didn't complain about it.

But then again, comparing an expensive tea from the Mortal World and a tea brewed from a thousand-year-old snow leaves from the Immortal World is like comparing the immensity between heaven and earth.

The enjoyment is only between me and the Duke since the others who are Touya's friends are fidgeting from tension except for Touya who is just chilling with his female friends. Sue left her seat and is not here. I wonder where she went but I do know I am not bored enough to deduce where she went.

"If you didn't make the request, Sue might have been kidnapped or even might have been killed. It's thanks to that person who gave the request."

"Do you have any idea who the attacker might have been?"

Though, there is no point in asking this question to Alfred when I can just use my deduction to comprehend and analyze all variables and truth of the world to find out who the attacker of Sue is.

It might be a bit excessive just to find out a mere attacker but her or him attacking a cute girl like Sue is unforgivable! None shall attack and harm loli! It is hearsay!

"None... that I can say. Considering my position, some nobles think of me as an obstacle. Kidnap my daughter, threaten and manipulate me at will... perhaps those people thought as such."

Alfred took the tea with a bitter face. There are a lot of things in the worlds of nobles and such are a common occurrence in the cultivation world. Young masters plotting against their siblings to become the heir of the family and such are common in the cultivation world.

"Father, thank you for waiting."

Sue came over to the terrace. In a pale pink frilly dress to her blonde hair adorned with a katyusha headband decorated with a rose of the same pale pink. It suits her very well.

I wonder where she went and what she wants now?
