Takeo knocked on the door of the hall. He opened the door and entered, confirming that permission had been given.
“Breakfast is ready, everyone. It’s just a simple egg sandwich with ham, vegetables, mayonnaise, and egg soup,” I said.
In the hall, there were the people from earlier, Harold, the deputy commander, the chief soldier, and a soldier I didn’t know.
The stewards who had come with me began to serve breakfast.
“Well, Takeo, your timing is perfect. I’ve just received the report,” Elvis said.
“Yes, I’m glad I could make it. And, um…”
He turned his attention to the unknown soldier standing behind King Azupal.
“His name is Meyer, and he is my bodyguard,” King said.
“My name is Carlo Meyer. Please call me Meyer. I’m the commander of the first Kingsguard squadron of the Royal City Guard,” Meyer said.
…Everyone gasped as Meyer revealed his position…
“Thank you very much. I’m Takeo Kitamizato. You can call me whatever you like. I work under Alice Henry Elvis. …And you, Alan-san, are a very important person, aren’t you?” Takeo said and took a seat.
“What? …Hmm? …What do you mean?”
The king of Azupal was puzzled by Takeo’s oblique response.
“What? You’re the captain of the Kingsguard, aren’t you, Meyer-san? Normally, the Kingsguard are the people who guard the King, and they are the strongest troops in the country. You must be a very high-ranking officer to be able to lend them to me, right?” Takeo said.
“Takeo-san, don’t you think that my father-in-law is His Majesty?” Leila asks.
“I don’t think so. And what would the king do if he left the capital?”
All but King Azupal nodded at Takeo’s statement.
“That’s… yes.” Leila replied with a wry smile.
“If Alan-san is the king, I’m a little worried about the future of this country.”
“Why is that? King Azupal asks.
“The king is a human being. I’m sure he’s got a separate home or villa within a day’s round trip of the royal capital, because he’d get choked up working all the time.
But if he’s not satisfied with that, then…
Despising the king’s life might not make the country run well, you know?
Or you’re sanctifying the king too much. It’s too easy to think that the king will be fine.
It’s all very well for you to go away for a while to rest your head, but…
Obviously, this city and King’s Landing are too far apart.
It would be very difficult to prepare for an emergency if they are so far apart. If it’s just security, the military officers will be able to handle it with all their strength, but…
But what about the government?
If the civil officials allow it, they are either very good or very incompetent. So it just makes me a little nervous.”
“Hmm… I see… I’ll tell His Majesty softly about that too.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Everyone except Takeo chuckled at King Azupal’s words.
“Yes. The breakfast has been served, hasn’t it?” King added.
“Well, shall Lord Meyer, Harold, and the others join us for breakfast?” Elvis said.
“Yes,” Meyer said.
“All right,” Harold said.
And they all took their seats.
“Then let’s eat.”
Everyone begins to eat.
..
.
Quickly, all the food was consumed.
“Ahh… I’m so happy this morning.”
William and Leila nodded to King Azupal’s murmur.
The Elvis family is smiling.
“Well, Takeo, thank you for your hard work. Are those shiitake mushrooms in the soup?” Elvis asked.
“No, no. I was just helping out as I was preparing it. Did you recognize the shiitake?” I said.
“It was delicious, but was that because of the shiitake mushrooms?
Leila asked me.
“Yes, I soaked them in water last night. The broth came out well.” I said.
“It’s amazing… such a delicious soup from shiitake mushrooms…” William said to me in wonder.
The butlers finished taking down the dishes and left the hall, leaving a plate of caramel in their place.
“Takeo… did something come up?”
“Oh, it’s the caramel you were talking about yesterday.” I answered.
“Oh, you’ve finished it?” King Azupal said admiringly.
“I tasted it and I think it is fine. I was thinking we could have it while explaining the… Why are you eating it already?” I said.
Everyone was popping them into their mouths at once.
“Oh, it tastes like milk… Oh, it’s getting soft… What? …Oh!” King Azupal expressed his surprise.
William was smiling all the time.
“sigh… I’m so happy,” Leila said with a debaucherous look on her face.
Alice and Smith nodded in agreement.
Frederick nodded his head and enjoyed it.
Meyer, Harold, the vice commander, and the soldier commander are smiling and meditating, enjoying the taste.
Takeo looked at them all with a wry smile.
I was going to have them eat it when I explained it to them,” he blurted out.
“Takeo-sama, if you serve this to me when I explain, I won’t be able to hear what you have to say,” Alice said, smiling.
Everyone nodded, except Takeo.
“Hmm. Harold and David, I want to check on the current situation, so please explain.”
“Yes!”
At Elvis’s words, the two men sat up and began to explain.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
