Chapter 276: V2 Ch 93. Fury, wrapped in mischief

Two days later I had my boilers heated and ready to go but I still had to decide if I want to stay in the capital and wait until the king’s government approves the military exercise which will no doubt be the greatest disgrace to their fleet, currently the strongest one in the known world. I can go home right now if I want to but after hearing the news, the girls were hesitating to urge me. That is how I came to this stalemate.

“An exciting story. What does it have to do with me?” I placed my bet on the girl in glasses, hoping that she will increase the speed of bureaucracy.

“There is something that can be done, right? You should have more experience with the byzantine bureaucracy than me.”

“I do have it but I see no reason to help you.” She sipped tea and ignored my existence.

“Is there something I can offer you to make you change your mind?” She smirked.

“Tell me…”

“Well, well. Don’t think you will be able to run away from your offer. I want you to promise to do me a favor when the time comes.” It is fishy…

She only smirked and no longer acknowledged my presence so I left her alone.

Just when I remembered that she told me nothing about what to do, I pulled the door handle but the doors were already closed.

After I returned to the bedroom, the butler came and gave me a message.

I am ordered to come to the throne room tonight. The word ordered must be there to show that it is still the king who orders around. Not that it works like that.

“So, the council suddenly had some free time to discuss your suggestion?” Charlotte had a suspicion.

“Is it so weird?”

“They have every meeting planned a week ahead. No matter how important you are, they at the best will discuss your issue after making you wait for a week. Even daddy cannot make those bald snobs work faster than they are.” (C)

“I guess I will have another mystery to uncover.”

“No more ‘uncover’ and no more ‘mystery’! I want to go home as soon as possible!” (L)

“Was it yesterday you said ‘we might wait for some time until you settle your issues’?”

“It was today I received another bag of invitations, to every one of which I had to write a refusal!” (L)

“And nobody helped you…?” She nodded.

I wondered what I can do to help my wife but for now I had to solve the council meeting.

When it was the time to go, I kissed my wives’ cheeks and headed to the throne room.

Inside of the room were two dozens of men sitting at a large table. Every one of them had a stack of papers. When I entered, I was glared at with the murderous intent similar to the demon king himself after he was insulted and mocked right into his face.

I sat on the opposite to the king side of the table and the glare became even more intense.

‘Creak’

The door opened again and a small figure in night gown entered.

“W…”

“Shut up.” The girl in glasses shamelessly entered the room and put a pillow beside the king’s chair. She sat there but her head didn’t even peek from behind the table top.

“Now, let’s discuss the idea of yours. How do you even plan to conduct this exercise?” (W)

“First we will simulate a fleet battle. I would not be against having live targets included. Then we will simulate a coastal raid.”

“Your Majesty, I doubt it will be of any benefit to our fleet.” One of the councilors voiced his objections the next second after I finished talking.

“Then will be it of benefit if I remind everyone who signed you a peace treaty?”

“You are just trying to defile the glory of our navy!” The council exploded in murmuring.

“Why should I care? You can find another lie to hush it up.” While I was mocking the councilors, the king leaned to his side. The two whispered something and after the king nodded, he straightened his back.

“I have no problem with you showing off, if you are willing to accept one condition.” (W)

“Woe to the vanquished.” To which the girl in glasses giggled.

“Can you please shut up while I am talking?!” (W)

I only smiled.

“If you are willing to make the fleet battle at least look like our navy can do something, then you can do whatever you want with the raiding, and claim any laurels you deem necessary.” The king looked like he is sure I will accept it.

“How many ships can I sink before it is accepted as my victory?”

“None.” (W)

“Then I guess I will ‘raid’ to my heart’s content. What mansions and fortresses are not necessary?”

“W-wait!!!” (W)

“Too late~!”

I flew out of the throne room before anybody could stop me.

The only thing I could hear from behind was the booming laughter of the girl in glasses who was really enjoying this.
