Carlisle's mansion, your father's office.

Damage reports from the Locust have been coming to your father from all over the country.

How is it going, father?

My Carlisle estate is safe, as Alec killed it soon after he appeared. Well, the rainy season only lasted a few days longer than usual.

"I'm glad to hear that. ...... But Dad? Then why do you look so complicated?

Hmm, the Carlisle estate is fine, but the Silva estate

"What's wrong with the Silva territory ...... Angers' family home?

Angelica Silva .

My bride, the lovely Angelica Silva .

The Silva estate is the domain of her father, Baron Silva, a quasi-baronet.

The quasi-baron's territory is also en route. I hear the crops are 'literally wiped out'. There will be no harvest and no income this year.

"Really? ......

"The entire stockpile was rotted away. And the wooden building: ......

It is a terrible monster . Just passing through can cause so much damage without question ...... a true natural disaster.

"Yes, and Alec is still amazing at defeating it! It's the realm of the savior now.

Father getting excited by himself.

I thought for a moment and said to my father.

"Father, I need to talk to you.

"Oh, my stupid, well, we should have a victory parade--

"You don't have to do that.

I interrupted your father's tension with a serious tone and placed the bag in front of him.

It's a bag of food reserves made of calamity claws and connected to magical space.

I have been entrusted with the purchase and management of the surplus, so I have it with me.

Will you let me help the food stockpile in Carlisle's territory to support the stricken Silva Territory?

"......

Father opened his mouth with an exclamation.

Still no good.

This bag is small, but it contains an enormous amount of food.

We've been tirelessly buying up the surplus for the past two years, and there's already enough to last for a year in a city of a few thousand people.

Of course, it has cost a fair amount of money.

And if you use it to support them, you are bound to be appalled.

Alright, I'll think of something else...

"Oh, whoa!

What is wrong with you, father?

Your father suddenly began to cry.

He let out a roar and literally cried like a waterfall of tears.

That's Alec! That kind heart, now the realm of God!

"Well, uh, ......

"Mm! I should help you.

"Oh, it's okay.

"b*tc*!

Your father clenched his fists and insisted.

The tears had stopped, but a trail of them glistened down his cheeks.

"There was no stopping Alec from doing good and being admired by the people!

"Nah, I see.

It was a fatherly reason.

"Go ahead, Alec! Spread the whole stockpile out!

I'm grateful now that he's in a good mood, as usual.

I had the food stockpiled in Carlisle's territory to be used for disaster relief in Silva's territory, and since I had documented it first, I had it delivered to Baron Silva.

.

A month later, inside the mansion.

In the parlor was me, your father, and another young man.

A crisp-faced, good-natured young nobleman in his late twenties.

Angel's father, and eventually my father-in-law, the quasi-baronet Silva himself.

The father-in-law bowed deeply.

Thank you for the food you have given us. I, on behalf of my fellow countrymen, express my deepest gratitude to the Vice-Emperor.

"Don't be so formal, Angier's dad

I said to emphasize "Angers' father.

Officially, I'm vice-imperial, your father a duke and your father-in-law a baronet, so our positions are pretty close.

But with Angel's father, we can talk frankly, dispelling that difference in status.

It's better if there are only these three people here.

Thank you for ....... That's very wise at your age. I envy you that you were able to marry a parent.

That's not all. I'm sorry to say to the quasi-baron, but I also have the courage to defeat the Locust, who were out of control there.

"Very good. If you are Alec, you can take the duke's family to ....... Since you are the Vice-Emperor, the Empire will be safe for decades to come.

"You know better than that, quasi-baron.

"I envy the duke who is so blessed with a son.

Hmm, I must have done some saintly good deeds in a previous life.

I'm sure I've done some good with my daughter in marriage.

My father and father-in-law hit it off.

He would brag about me, and my father-in-law would listen curiously and make compliments.

They became like best friends for ten years.

But ...... such a shame, no, it's a shame that master Alec still doesn't have any territory.

I've been thinking about it too, but my wife stopped me. Alec is ready to go out into the world, don't rush. And...

"I see, I see! But that doesn't bother us.

"You understand?

Yes.

.......

I wonder if this is that .

Is this the trend of your father's 'Alec religion' to gain followers?

"Yes, my lord. Did you know that some of us noblemen have alliances in case something happens to us, and that some of us have alliances to rule our lands?

I've heard of it.

What do you think, let's create an Alexander League with Alec as our ally? Of course, we will still rule, and Alec will only be honored. Then don't you agree, madam?

"--Ha!

Father stood up with a start.

No, his eyes are glittering.

"No, dad. That's too much.

"No, no, Master Alec. I'm a baronet and Carlisle is a duke. There's no harm in forming an alliance with the Vice-Emperor. It's a very natural fit.

"It's--

So, is it?

It came out of nowhere and I'm not sure.

I don't know, but I thought if I didn't stop it, there might be trouble.

Because the "Alexander League" is definitely a construct.

"Then we can join forces and spread the word about how wonderful Alec is.

You are quite right, sir.

And that was the point.

"Then we'll bring in Hossen, too.

By Horsen, you mean General Horsen Chohi, the most powerful man in the Empire?

"Mm! He's also a man who could see through Alec's brilliance.

The way you say it, father, it sounds like you're a man who can do it because you saw how good I was.

Okay, here are the three of you.

"If we are launching an alliance, we must report to His Majesty.

I'll take care of it.

Father went to the window and shouted loudly.

Calamity, is Calamity there?

Then Calamity, the guardian dragon of the empire, flew in front of the window.

"What, father of the Lord!

Do me a favor. We are to form an alliance, Alexander. Report this to his Majesty in the capital and ask his permission.

"......

Calamity glanced at me.

I see that Calamity is only a hop, skip and a jump away from the capital, so I know what to ask.

But alas, Father, Calamity can only take orders from me--

I assure you.

You know what?

"I have no objection to praising the Lord.

...... Yes, Calamity was practically an Aleksandrite too.

After all, he seriously asked me if I was a god.

The guardian dragon turned around and disappeared into the sky with unprecedented speed - and came back in a few minutes.

I'm back!

Early!

"The emperor has approved. "The emperor has given his approval, allowing the Carlisle and Silva territories to become vice-imperial territories from now on.

"And he admitted it so easily!

Okay, Eliza, is that all right?

"There is one condition for that.

"Conditions?

Let the words speak for themselves.

Calamity cleared his throat and opened his mouth again.

But every year, Alec must come to explain and report back to you.

Surprisingly, it was the very tone of Eliza's voice.

I don't know why I bit him in the head, but it's because I'm not a good imitator.

Still, it was great.

That's the thing.

And in an instant the voice of Calamity returned to its original.

And then he went out the window.

I see you have permission.

"Mm! Let's get into more details. To show the whole world how great Alec is.

"I'll help.

Your father and father-in-law are in a groove, and it looks like they won't stop now.

Just when you thought the Vice-Emperor was just an honorary position, now he comes with the territory. This is an unexpected development.

It seemed that the life of an SSS-ranked person was still evolving.
