Chapter 151: Chapter 151. Faren's Worry...
"Yes, you are right, Myne's time really did a great favour to us, I can't express my gratitude with words," Faren said nodding his head and looking at Myne full of gratitude.
"Now you are embarrassing me Father-In-Law, I am also a citizen of the Augusta Kingdom how can I sit back and watch some idiots trying to destroy it? It is my responsibility to protect Myne said politely, as if what he said is completely truth and he can do anything for kingdom shake.
Then Myne seeing that Iron is hot, in order to impress both father-son duo more impressed, he told them about his relationship with Fenrir and her children.
"Also, Lord Divine Beast Fenrir said that from now on she will be my greatest backer, and if I deem it necessary I can call her for my help anytime I want," Myne said with a smile making both Faren and Aniue's mouths open widely from surprise, and he also saw clearly that the way both of looking at him change from gratitude to little fear and respect.
Power is such a nice thing, no wonder people are never satisfied with it, Myne thought with a sigh.
"Lord Divine Beast becoming a Hume backer, you say!!? This is unheard of," Faren mumbled in a low voice.
"I think Myne would be First Hume in history who made Lord Divine Beast his backer," Aniue said while shaking his head but he was still very proud of Myne's achievement.
"Wafuu!"
Probably reading the flow of the talk, The Little Fenrir who was lazily lying on Myne's head also howled for timepass as if affirming the current talk.
"I see, Lord Divine Beast, protecting you, such an amazing thing happened, huh... Myne I have a small request, can by any means I meet Lord Divine Beast? As a King of the Augusta Kingdom, I personally wanted to apologise to them for my incompetence," Faren ask seriously.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a problem I guess. Let's me ask her first," Myne said after thinking for a while, he can clearly understand why his Father-In-Law wanted to meet Fenrir, he probably didn't want to see Fenrir holding a grudge against the royal family for not apologise personally and later use it against them if in the future something unexpected again happened.
Sigh, being a king is also quite a pain in the ass, I don't understand why people are still willing to go any length to become a king, it is not like they can't become powerful without becoming king," Myne thought with a sigh, and contact Fanrir with his telepathy skill.
"What is it, Myne? Are you already in trouble just after going back? Do you need my help?" Fenrir as always carefree voice sound in Myne's head again.
"No, I am not in any trouble, and do I really look that weak to you guys? Your children also thoughts the same thing when I ask them, now I know why they said that, like mother like children.
Anyway, I call you because our King wanted to meet, he felt extremely guilty because of what happened in the forest, so he is asking wherever it is possible to meet you and apologies to you personally," Myne said annoying while shaking his head. His good mood after receiving so much praise from Faren and Aniue and thinking about the upcoming rewards was ruined by Fenrir's comment.
"Well, I don't mind meeting your king, anyway, it has been quite a while since I left the forest, now since you can use your skill and connect two places, this is just a matter of a few steps," Fenrir said calmly, but then she thought something and ask, "By the way, what did you tell them about your skills?"
"Ahh, about that, I haven't gotten a chance to tell them anything, but If they ask me then I can say that I borrow those skills from you, just as we planned," Myne said shamelessly in his mind while looking at both father-son duo, who were staring at him nervously.
"Although we never planned such a thing, but do as you like, remember don't ruin my name, otherwise, you will get my The Divine Beast motherly punishment," Fenrir said with an evil smirk but sadly neither Myne didn't show it, nor didn't take her warning seriously.
"Okay, then I tell them you're coming here," Myne said to Fenrir, and looked at the father-son duo before spoking.
"Lord Divine Beast informs me that she will come here herself, you don't have to go anywhere..."
"What! Myne what are talking about? The whole city will be in pandemonium if Lord Divine Beast really come here, and what if she is still angry and decides to punish us? Do you have any idea just how many innocent people will die?
We can't afford this kind of loss," Faren said nervously quickly declining Myne's suggestion unknown to him Fenrir can clearly hear their conversation through Myne till he didn't disconnect his telepathy link with her.
"Am I just a mindless monster in the eyes of your king who love killing innocent people for no reason? When did Divine Beast's reputation become so bad?" Fenrir asks confusedly for once she thought that this king was not talking about her but about the demon.
"Don't take his word at heart, he has never seen you and just heard about you in stories, so it is natural to misunderstand you. He is just worried about his people, so ignore it," Myne said trying to calm down Fenrir.
"Don't worry Your Majesty, Lord Divine Beast will come here directly through her space-type skill, so you don't have to worry that other people show her, everything going to happen here will be fully confidential..."
As soon as Myne said that Faren and Aniue's movements stopped and turned silent, they can't believe how can Myne say all those things calmly as if meeting the divine beast was not a big deal. But one thing they both ignore that why Myne suddenly called Faren Your Majesty instead of Father-In-Law like always.
The little Fenrir who hears that his Mother is coming, immediately become energetic and starts patting Myne's head while wagging his tail excitedly, completely ignoring the unpleasant silence in the room.
In the midst of an extremely complicated atmosphere, Faren smiled wryly and looked towards the little Fenrir, before making his decision.
"I understand, but give me some time, let me gather all the royal family members before you invite Lord Divine Beast, after all, they are also big fans of Lord Divine Beast and always wanted to see them, this is a God-given opportunity, they may not get such a chance again," Faren said with a smile, but then he thought and ask with little hesitation, "It shouldn't be a problem right?"
"Ohh, don't worry about it, Lord Divine Beast doesn't mind meeting her admirer," Myne said waving his hand gently.
"That's good," Saying such Faren looked at his eldest son, Aniue after getting Faren's permission hurriedly exited the room to call for family members.
"Hey, when did I say that I like meeting my admirers?
If I really like that then I won't stay in the deepest part of the forest," Fenrir said with a frown but Myne ignore her babbling, there is no way he can say that he is doing it to make his Father-In-Law happy who looked like can faint at any moment out of pressure, it seems like for him dealing with Divine Beast is no different then walking on a rope hanging on thousands of meters high in the air.
"Sigh, it feels like a dream. My sweet daughter's finally marrying, and her spouse is not only powerful and reliable but even befriended a Divine Beast. In society, I'm lionised as a hero, but in reality, I've completely lost my confidence today, hahaha," Faren spoke with a helpless laugh like an old man, his demeanour of a king can nowhere be seen.
Myne looked at his Father-In-Law with a complicated expression, he really did not know how to deal with this awkward situation, he is not very familiar with Faren and there is no way he can comfort him.
Suddenly unexpected to Myne, The Little Fenrir jumped off from his head and walked to Faren's feet. Then he jumped onto his back and run up to his head in one go and sit down there just like how he sat on Myne's head.
"Oye, kid what are doing, come back here."
The Little Fenrir ignore Myne's shout and patted Faren's head happily while saying "Wafuu". Faren clearly don't understand what this 'Wafuu' means, he just stood in his place like a statue, his expression hardened, and dumbfounded by what had happened.
"Sigh, Father-In-Law, sorry, this little guy just wanted to make you happy after seeing you so sad, just now he said, "Cheer up," Myne said helplessly.
As if responding to Myne's words, the little Fenrir said "Wafuu!" and once again raised his hand and agreed.
Faren who heard that put his hand on his head and touch the Little Fenrir's soft fur before he burst into laughter. And really loud at that.
