Chapter 212:  As expected of Julius

　In spite of my wishes, a report came in that His Majesty the King and Her Royal Highness the Queen would be arriving shortly. I had somehow guessed from what I had heard earlier, but it seems that Her Royal Highness the Queen will be with him. I don’t think Chloe will come, right?　It would be a little awkward if she came.

　The door was opened and Their Royal Highnesses entered. I bow my head along with my brother. Chloe-sama is …… apparently not here. The only thing I can see is their feet, but there is no one that looks like her.

“Both of you, please look up. Today’s business is personal. You may treat me as you normally would.”

　I raise my head at His Majesty the King’s words. Even if you say so, I can’t just say, “Yes, I see.” I waited for their highnesses to sit down before taking my seat. My position is right in front of His Majesty the King. It seemed to be for this reason that Daniela-sama recommended this seat.

“You have been very helpful to me, Julius . I heard about the panacea. You made three and perfected them all. The royal Potion Masters  told me that it was only with the help of Julius-sensei that  it was possible.”

　His Majesty the King said so while grinning happily. Don’t tell me they called me teacher even in front of His Majesty the King!　Oh my God!

　I hear a voice giggling and sneering from next door. It’s Daniela-sama.

“I don’t mind if you laugh, Daniela-sama. Because I’d laugh too.”

“That’s right. I heard that the servants called you teacher too, I guess it was true.”

　Brother Alex laughed aloud instead. We all laughed at that.

“But I’m not lying. You didn’t just teach them how to make panaceas. You taught them how to make cold remedies, magic potions for lung ailments, and elementary recovery Potions, didn’t you?　They’re all of good quality and people who use them are very happy. It’s no wonder they call you a teacher. You are bringing innovation to magic potions.”

　Her Royal Highness seems pleased. The people’s joy is her joy. I got that impression. She is indeed the mother of the nation. I had no choice but to fake a smile. Does no one think it’s a problem that I’m called “sensei”? I’m afraid of what’s to come.

“I think you should be rewarded in some way. …… I hear you’re declining the medal.”

“Yes, sir. I am only a ten years old child. It would only cause confusion in this country for someone who is not recognized as an adult to receive such a prestigious medal . It is very kind of you to offer me the honor, but I decline.”

　I flatly refused. Would he be offended because I refused His reward?　But if his being offended would save the country from chaos, that would be better. The Lazar Empire has its eyes on us. It would be better if there were no openings to take advantage of.

“That’s Julius for you.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

　His Majesty the King nodded broadly and Her Royal Highness the Queen smiled. Ah, could it be that I’m the type of person who has been tested?　Should I have accepted it honestly?

“I can’t believe you’re only ten years old. You’re  really intelligent. there aren’t many adults who can think like Julius. If they were to receive a medal, They would change the color of their eyes. Of course. And the medal is worth that much.”

“Yes, that’s right. If only Chloe were as understanding as Julius-chan.”

　She looks troubled. It’s probably about her engagement to the Kingdom of Lund Al. Maybe Lady Chloe is not convinced. It’s because I got too friendly with her.

　At the time, I thought there was a possibility that Lady Chloe and I might get married, so I thought we needed to build a good relationship. But apparently, it backfired.

　This might complicate my relationship with Miss Carolina. She might be dissatisfied because her sister, Miss Hilda, lost to Daniela. 

.

“Ah, I’m not blaming you, Julius-chan.　So please don’t look at me like that.”

　I think the comparison between me and Chloe-sama may have caused the words to come out. The fact that this place is Daniela-sams’s private room may have had an effect. It seems that she has become quite relaxed and her true feelings are coming out

“is there anything you want instead?　Of course, there are things I can do, and things I can’t do.”

　His Majesty the King asked, trying to change the atmosphere. What do I want? Nothing in particular comes to mind. ……That’s right.

“Then I would like you to provide a little more generous support to the orphanage in the royal capital. If possible, I would be happy if you could support us with supplies rather than money.”

“Supplies…… like food?”

“Yes. Food, magic potions, and picture books to help them learn to read would be good.”

“I see. So you are thinking of the children’s future. I understand. I will try to arrange as much as possible.”

“Thank you.”

　This is good. You never know what they will use the money for if you give it to them. Worst case scenario, it could even be used by the adults for themselves. If it were something instead, it wouldn’t be so easy to turn it into money.

　As the state, it would be enough to deliver things that are no longer needed or surplus in the royal castle, which should reduce losses.

　After that, we talked about a few topics of interest and the visit was over. Of course, we also talked about the icehouse. He was very happy when I told him that we had all almost been iced altogether just a few minutes ago.

　I guess reports of failure don’t often go up to His Majesty the King. It’s normal for people to hide things that are inconvenient for them. But I won’t hide it. If it becomes a funny story, it is worth it enough. The only thing I have to do is not to repeat the same mistake.

　I felt relieved when their highnesses left the room. In spite of Daniela-sama’s presence, I involuntarily fell into a lazy posture on the chair.

“Thank you, Julius, for your hard work.”

“Ah, I’m sorry…”

　I tried to correct my posture in a hurry, but Daniela-sama hugged me. It was soft and warm. And it smells good. These breasts feel just as good as brother Cain’s fiancée, sister-in-law Meeka’s. Both of them are huge. No explanation needed.

“I can’t believe you’re requesting support for the orphanage over there. That’s Julius for you.”

　I thought Brother Alex would be angry at me for enjoying Daniela-sama’s breasts, but it seems he was not. He seems to be proud of my suggestion. What happened? I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

“Oh?　You  may not have known about this?　I once proposed something similar to His Majesty the King. At that time, he just said, ‘I’ll think about it.’ and that was that.”

　I see, so that means I had become Daniela-sama’s patron without realizing it. I was simply thinking of the children at the orphanage. Was that what this passionate embrace was all about? But that’s all right.
