Lord Who Visit Another World

Chapter 159 - Daily Life

"Why?!? Oh, Why?!?"

I scream in frustration. Richard standing at my side, patted my back in sympathy.

"There. There."

"Why, Richard? Why is each person that wants to meet me either an idiot or an arrogant bastard?"

"That is the curse of a king, my lord. The brighter you are, the more moths come to you."

"Moths are good and all. The people that want to meet me are a retarded moth."

The reason for my whining? Those are the people that want to ask for my sister's hand in marriage. Because of my new status as a king, I cannot have the title of Duchy of Sea Dragon Point at the same time. Well, I can, but I cannot take care of both the north and the rest of the kingdom at the same time.

Because of this, I give the title of Duchess to my little sister with my mother and me as her regent.

You can imagine what people want asking for my sister's hand. They want to take the title of Duke. What makes matters worse, the people that come to me are either idiots, arrogant, or outright retarded

Then there is also the problem that each of them is more than triple my sister's age. My sister is seven years old this year. That means the youngest person that asks my sister's hand is a twenty-one years old man.

I really want to punch their face or cut their head off when they say how they are the ones who deserve my sister's hand. I already announced that I did not want to marry or betrothed my sister yet. However, it was not enough to make them stop.

"You know what? Fuck it. Richard makes sure the other knows that anyone who wants to ask for my sister's hand will be rejected. I accept them because I want to be respectful. However, they decide to be an idiot. Reject them and if they decide to try something funny, let the guard beat them or something."

"Understood."

"Good. Is there anything I should do before the end of the day?"

"I don't think so, my lord."

"Good. Because I want to spend my time with my family, have you seen Lucina?"

"Ah, lady Lucina is in the garden with lady Eveline and lady Elizabeth."

"Very well. Make sure we are not get disturbed unless it is an emergency."

"Understood."

I get up from my chair and get away from my office. I walk toward the palace garden, where I grow many kinds of flowers and even medicinal plants. Not only that, but this garden also has edible vegetables and fruit for us to use for our cooking.

"Brother!"

I smile a little when I see my little sister, Ginerva, run toward me. I squat down and welcome her.

"Hello, Gin Gin. How are you?"

"I'm good!"

"Have you been a good girl?"

"En! I study really hard! Mother teaches me how to be a lord like you!"

"Good girl."

"Hehehe~"

I pick her up and walk toward my mother, who is sitting on the chair drinking some tea.

"Good morning, mother."

"Morning, dear. How are you? It has been a week since the last time we met."

"I'm doing good, mother. A bit tired from all the headaches I got from the recent visit, but other than that? I'm good."

My mother and sister decide to visit the capital city using a gateway I created using my magic to connect the Sea Dragon City and Drallac city. This gateway is used not only for my mother and sister or us to visit. It also functions as an emergency runaway in case something bad happens.

"Good. Your sister really misses you and keeps asking me to visit you. She decided to make you proud and keep studying even with all that whining."

Hearing what my mother was saying, I smiled at Ginerva and kissed her forehead. I then place her down and walk toward Lucina, who teaches Valerie and Elizabeth how to brew some potions while Ophis eats a bowl of cookies under the shade of a tree.

"... Remember to stir it to the right. That is the important part. Anyway, that is all for today's theory. Now, Valerie, you try."

After Lucina said that, she closed her book and looked at me.

"Sorry for interrupting your teaching, Lucina."

"No. I already finished my lecture anyway. It is time for Valerie to try it herself. Do you want to help me observe Valerie's progress?"

"Sure."

I sit next to Lucina and look at Valerie cutting down the potion ingredient and boiling the water inside the cauldron. However, when I saw her cut the ingredient too thick, I said,

"Hmmm, you cut it too thick, Valerie. Remember that you only want to make one cauldron full of potions. The leaf from Gariks tree is really potent. You need to cut it, so the potency of the leaf decreases."

"En. Understood."

Valerie then begins to cut the leaf thinly. A perfect cut for the potion she wants to make. Right now, Valerie tries to brew an Inner Stomach potion that helps any problem in your stomach. From having a hard time doing your toilet business to helping stabilize the amount of acid inside your stomach.

"How are you, Lucina? Are you okay? Is the baby okay?"

"I'm doing good, Isaac. The baby is also doing fine. There was a time when I was craving for something, but it was from time to time."

"I see. Please tell me if you want anything. I will get it for you."

"Of course, dear."

Lucina placed her head on my shoulder, and I put my hand around her.

"Should we expect any more arrogant guests, dear?"

"Not anytime soon, at least. I already tell Richard to reject a snobbish rich bastard coming to the palace. You can rest easy."

"Good because I cannot stand their overly sweet voice. I still did not understand why you accepted them, to begin with. You are a king, you know? You can use it to your advantage."

"I guess you are right."

I still think like a man in a modern time and still think like someone who did not have any powerful position. I'm a king now, a new king but a king nonetheless.

"Good because I did not want to hear a rumor about my husband who was afraid to reject a guest in his own palace."

"Yeah, I know."

"Anyway, speaking of guests, the people from the Variks Empire should arrive here a few days from now, right?"

"Yup. Richard is already reporting of him seeing the ship carrying the Prime Minister of the Variks empire."

"Hmmm, should I order the people in the kitchen to serve our best food?"

"You know what? Sure. It has been a while since we had a luxurious feast."

"Then I will tell the people in the kitchen to cook something special. Can Richard get any information about the reason why the prime minister came to our kingdom?"

"Food. Like any other kingdom and empire, the Variks empire's food situation is bad, and with my new policy regarding trading with them, their situation has worsened. Richard already spread the rumor about the involvement of their prince in the increase of the food price to make it matter worse."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'm still a little bit angry at that little shit-talking as if he owned this place. Also, he said he wants to r*aped you. I cannot let that slide by, can't I?"

"Hmm~ I guess I can agree with you on this. Then what about the people that come here? Do you want to give them a chance?"

"Yes, just because the people other than the prince are respectful toward us. Their merchant is respectful and somewhat honorable. They still want to get profit, but it has not blinded them to the point of being greedy."

And if the people that come here decide to act like the prince? Well, there is another empire that wants food from us.
