『Hi, it's been a while』
The voice echoes in the wide, Grand room.
「Yes, Your Majesty. I am honored to be of your service again」
『You have done a meritorious deed for our Kingdom』
『Ask, What do you want?』
「Your Majesty, I have no desires for wealth or riches. I just have a simple wish; I hope your majesty will fulfill it」
『Speak』
The king's kind voice echoed.
「Your Majesty, I once saw a beautiful female Elf slave in the Palace. From that moment I was entranced by their beauty. I hope your majesty will allow me to own a female Elf slave from the Royal Slave Academy」
Suddenly, voices from all over erupted like a volcano.
「Kisama... Do you know what you're talking about?"」
The Prime Minister shouted like an enraged bull. The voices of other ministers also echoed back to back with a rage.
「Your Majesty, Looks like I said something wrong, I beg your majesty to punish me」
Soon the voices died down retaining the quietness from before. All of the eyes looked towards the king.
The King clicked his tongue and said.
『Since I promised you a reward of your choice, as a King, I will always keep my word』
The king said his sentence and left. Everyone looked shocked by the outcome while only one person looked Ecstatic like he hit the Jackpot.
The Prime Minister followed the king in the hallway.
「Your Majesty, Elf slaves, has always been the identity of the Royal Families. If a citizen seen possessing an Elf slave might leave a wrong impression on the Royal Family.」
The King laughed at the concern of the Prime Minister.
『Hahaha... Do you think I never thought of that』
『Let him enjoy the moment. Tomorrow, I will show him who's the craftier one』
Wrote a new story for the Writing Prompts contest #61, chose the keyword Betrayal and Escape.
Since it is a Light Novel, I am thinking of finishing the story at 100 or 150 chapters. Support if you like the story with power stones.
