「Your Majesty! This is terrible news . 」
I am King Franbel IV .
I am King of Franbel Kingdom .
My subordinate’s soldier came into the chamber with his face losing colors .
「Rude! How dare you came in without knocking! 」
The Minister of Finance next to me scolds the soldier .

I dare say he’s an obstinate man .
Judging from the soldier’s appearance, there’s an emergency that he forgets about manners .
「Good . What just happened? 」
「Hah… According to the adventurer, they encountered the Basilisk in the Franbel Forest! 」
「What did you say?! 」
Basilisk .
The legend said that the snake caused the ancient city’s downfall once .

Death for those who saw their reflection in the Basilisk’s eyes .
And saying that kind of monster is in a forest near the capital!
「Are you sure about this information? 」
「Several adventurers died by the power of the snake’s eyes!
And we all can agree that the Basilisk is such a dangerous monster! 」
Everyone here who heard him, including me, turns pale .
If it entered the capital, I can’t even imagine the damage it will cause .

「Hmm……Order an emergency quest from the adventurer’s guild .
We are going on Basilisk subjugation .
The reward is 100 million G (Gold) . 」
I prepared the official document sealed with the royal seal and gave it to the soldier .
「I will immediately report to the adventurer guild! 」
Before he leaves, the soldier didn’t forget to convey his gratitude .
「Your Majesty, why not telling the heroes to subjugate the snake? 」
「Minister, I know they are powerful, but they simply didn’t have the combat experience needed in the battle .
I won’t send them to an early death for subjugating the Basilisk . 」
「Right…… 」
The search conducted by the adventurer guild lasted for two days .
However, they couldn’t find the Basilisk when they were looking out in the forest .
Perhaps the snake already went somewhere else . Just in case, let’s warn the towns and villages nearby to be vigilant .
