Those clothes were the same when he met Princess Julia for the first time. The simple t-shirt and pants he had from Earth.
It wasn't a coincidence that Minato chose those clothes.
He wanted his friend and the lady he was close with to feel secure and remind her about the good times together.
It might not help her, but small factors often play a huge role in one's life.
Princess Julia and her mother were back in the Majestic Ice Kingdom. The glory and power of the Overlord had already reached them as if that was necessary. They were the ones who knew Minato's ability better than others.
It took Minmin a few hours to reach them, then he went through all the guards, royalties, and citizens with his chin high.
People now knew who Minato was and what exactly his status was.
The finest artists made paintings about him, dressed in the known royal clothes, and a few sculptures daily competed to bring out the mightiest image through their artistic skills and tales about Minato.
Minato saw most of them, and he exerted all his strong will to not twitch at their art. It was good art, but that, in the end, made Minato quite awkward.
The whole kingdom bloomed with respect, so that was at least good.
"It's me," Minato's lips parted before the golden blue doors.
He would've opened those doors in any different scenario than this. But the fact that Julia and her mother's hearts were hurt and that he already heard sobbing, stopped Minato and he genuinely expressed his will to help the royal family.
The doors slowly opened, revealing Julia, whose face was messed with tears and lack of sleep.
She lifted her eyes at Minato, then looked down, ashamed of her appearance and what she had gone through.
Minato stepped in and closed the doors, "Julia... Have you heard the news?"
He asked softly while wrapping his arms around Julia's body. Minato feared she would crumble at any moment as that was precisely the image Julia had been giving to him. Hence, he extended his hands and held her firmly.
Julia instinctively clutched his clothes, then her tears tumbled down anew.
"I have..." She replied after staining Minato's clothes a little.
He kept caressing her long blue hair while intensely staring at her. Embracing the lady tightly, Minato spread warmth around the weak princess and gave a sense of security she had been genuinely lacking.
Inwardly, Julia knew she did her best. She knew how much hard work she did and her full potential. Knowing this much, Julia was also aware of the strength that lied behind Tuto and his comrades.
Alas, the fact that she lost against them and was dragged into the empire's camps left her with a scar that seemingly was impossible to erase.
Her mother was weaker, and she had suffered a worse fate. Her body was much more hurt, to say nothing of losing her beloved.
However, Julia also lost her father. Both these ladies were the same, but they were forced to order people due to their bloodline and statuses.
It was more straightforward than ever due to Minato's appearance and all other royalties being basically brainwashed.
It wasn't deep brainwashing as they just had the recent events modified... Still, it hurt.
"I will be in your world for some time. You can always reach me, just tell one of my people. The same goes for your mother if she wants someone to speak with... I will be here to hug you, listen to you, and support all I can," Minato whispered.
"Can I... go to your world?" Julia whispered a few minutes after Minato's encouragement.
Although those words could mean many things, Minato and Julia were well aware of the meaning behind them.
Julia wanted to escape.
Her kingdom had fallen, and her self-confidence greatly diminished. For many years, the whole world's diplomacy was in a stalemate. No borders changed too much, nor did any stronghold planned for the entire war.
It would happen at some point, even without Minato's appearance, but the fact that she was so weak after tasting one left Julia's self-esteem at its lowest.
Minato cured it with a few words, however, "Do you want to leave your mother with all those duties alone? Let's not talk about my world and how I am the only human here... Your kingdom needs you. Your mother needs you. This is also my first low world, and I want my woman to take care of it. To keep the diplomacy strict and the lands intact, so that when I come here in the future, I will have a lot to sightsee and reminisce to."
Ice Princess trembled in the Overlord's arms. Her heart slowly melted, evaporating the worries that had been haunting her. The fear was the first that lost against Minato and his warm hug.
Her eyes brightened.
She let his clothes go and took a few steps back. Although Julia's appearance didn't magically revert to her peak form, her faint smile was reassuring and filled Minato with authentic happiness.
He extended his hand and caressed her cheek, "Rule your kingdom."
"I will, Minato. I will become the queen without the king and lead my people until my body loses against time," Julia whispered, then excused herself.
Minato watched her back as she went to her mother with an intent to convey similar words to her.
After Princess Julia left the queen's chamber, she approached Minato and asked, "Will you leave now?"
She held his sleeve in between her two slender fingers, conveying how she didn't want him to part yet.
Minato nodded, "I have tales to boast about. Are you willing to listen?"
"I am, Minato!" Julia exclaimed brightly.
"I also plan to leave more power in your home. But that's for later," Minato chuckled, then went with Princess Julia toward her room.
Here, they spent a sweet time sitting next to each other, drinking hot drinks, and talking like good friends.
