Chapter 45: 45-intermission

King Andrew crossed his arms with a difficult look on his face in front of his desk in his office.

There were many piles of papers on the desk in front of him.

Andrew was not very good at paperwork.

He waited for the reinforcements to arrive with a difficult look on his face.

He didn't really feel like trying his hand at it.

Just then, there was a knock at the door of the office.

Andrew stood up from his chair as if he had been waiting for him.

'James! Thank you for coming, come in.'

As Andrew called out, an earnest voice said, 'Excuse me,' and then the door opened.

A man walked into the office and bowed to Andrew.

He was a tall man of about forty with a sorcerer's face.

He was a close aide to King Andrew, and was also the chief magician of the kingdom's court.

Andrew stood up from his seat and went over to him, welcoming the reinforcements... and then narrowed his eyes at him suspiciously.

'James, what's wrong with that bruise on your cheek?

'...... No, there's nothing wrong. I ran into my son in the hallway there.'

'Oh, you met William! ...... and why do you have a bruise on your cheek. Did you get into a fight with him?'

Andrew asks, inviting James into the room.

He sat him down in front of his desk, which was separate from his own, and projected most of the papers from his own desk onto it.

James wrinkled his brow, but got on with his work.

'Well, it's not so much a fight as it is a one-sided beating. In any case, don't worry about it.'

'No, it would bother me. William hit you? That sounds like an interesting story. Let's hear it.'

Andrew was standing in front of James's desk, making little more than small talk.

James lets out a sigh.

'...... Well, it's nothing to hide, so I don't mind.

With that, the Chief Magician of the Court told his master of the events he had encountered earlier in the corridor, moving his hands simultaneously.

It was the discipline of this man, James, that he did not plan to manipulate the impression for himself at all, but truly told the story without concealment.

And when King Andrew heard the story, he laughed out loud as if he could not stand it.

'Ha-ha-ha-ha! You ......! And you call your own son an infant! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! No, you two are funny!

'...... Your Majesty, could you please refrain from further insults? If it's too much, I won't be able to stand it either.'

'No, sorry, sorry, no offense. It was just too funny, that's all.

'............'

James looked resentful, but Andrew didn't seem to take offense.

Andrew is not a tyrant, but he is not an honorable man either.

This is Andrew as he really is.

And the fact that he shows this shows that he trusts the people in front of him.

Andrew also came close to James and smiled at him.

'But James... I'm sure William would be upset if you called him 'vulgar' after all the time he's spent with you. I'd hit him, too. In fact, he wouldn't be if he kept quiet about it. No, he's got a pretty hot temper, I must say. You are indeed a candidate for my beloved daughter's son-in-law.

'...... Your Majesty overestimates him. It's still a child.'

'Maybe so. But that's just a hunch of mine. That kid William has a long way to go. He may be immature now, but I have a feeling he'll become something extraordinary.

Hearing Andrew's words, James' hand, which had been moving fluidly through the paperwork, stopped.

However, his hand immediately began to move again.

...... I don't think so, sir.'

'Oh. So you want to bet?'

'No, I'm not a gambler.

'...... You're really hard, you and your son.'

'More importantly, Your Majesty. Why don't you do a little work on yourself?

'Oh, yeah. Sorry.

With such conversations, the men of their fathers' generation set about their accumulated chores.
