Let’s make a detour

Since the matter of the demon king had been settled, we didn't stay for another day.

We had already discussed things with Duke Nergiante before heading to fight the demon king, so there wasn't much else for us to discuss.

Not to mention, we had already been away from our own kingdom for close to a month now.

It was fine for me to be away, but the fourth prince…

The longer that the fourth prince was away, the worse that it was for our kingdom.

So I had to bring him back as soon as possible.

For now, there wasn't much that we could even do with the Nergiante Dukedom in the first place.

The Nergiante Dukedom was just too far away for our kingdom to have proper relations with in the first place. So it was just building up a friendly relationship now for what would come later.

Such as if…our borders were to suddenly become closer, then it would be possible for us to build relations.
