Chapter 155
At evening, Eric and Goran arrived at the mansion .
Milka immediately asked Eric,
“I already know what Mister Goran’s answer will be, but will you be having dinner with us, Mister Eric?”
“Uh, as much as I would like to…”
Apparently, Refi had scolded Eric for eating too much .
As he had been eating dinner both at the mansion and at the palace recently .
Besides, as the king, Eric often had to attend dinners as part of his job .
“Refi is quite scary when she’s angry…”
“Ahh…that’s right . ”
I muttered, and Goran agreed .
Refi was our old party member . We knew how she could be .
“Still, Eric . Why don’t you just exercise after eating?”
“That’s what I was considering…”
“Alright, then I will put on some tea!”
“Thank you . ”
And then I took Eric and Goran to the room with the magic circle .
“What is this?”
“It’s my new room for teleportation circles . ”
“Hoho . And where do they lead?”
And so I explained it to them . ”
At the same time, I had both Eric and Goran registered to the lock .
Dorgo looked very serious as he said,
“There is a risk, should the water dragon settlement or wind dragon palace fall . ”
“That’s true . ”
Eric nodded .
“I should have discussed this with you sooner, Your Majesty . ”
“Don’t worry about it . The wind dragon palace is locked by magic now . And Locke is about to go and protect the water dragon settlement . ”
Dorgo listened to this and smiled .
“Your Majesty has a lot of faith in Mister Locke . ”
“Of course . If there was an enemy who could break through Locke’s protection magic, we would have to rethink our entire approach to dealing with them . ”
An enemy who could break into the wind dragon palace now would be dangerous indeed .
It would be more dangerous if they didn’t use magic circles and attacked the city directly .
“It’s a good thing you can return quickly from the water dragon settlement . ”
“Aye, it is very comforting . ”
Goran and Eric were happy about that .
After that, we talked about what we would do .
According to Dorgo, the dragons wanted us to go to the settlement tomorrow .
“I shall go too!”

“I would like to accompany you!”
“Me too…”
“Mister Locke! Daddy! Please take me with you . ”
Kathe, Shia, Nia and Serulis all expressed a desire to go .
Serulis looked especially earnest .
“Hmm . Indeed…”
It was a difficult decision . Perhaps we would need all the help we could get .
However, I had to consider the enemy that would be attacking the settlement .
They would mostly be Evil Dragons and Vampire Lords .
Kathe was one thing, but I wasn’t sure if the others would be able to do much .
“Hmm . ”
Goran also seemed uncertain .
“Oh, you all want to come too? That’s wonderful!”
Kathe smiled and gave them all permission to accompany her .
Serulis was a little surprised at this .
“What? Do you mean it?”
“Why not?”
Kathe didn’t mind . But should we really allow them to go?
I decided to ask Dorgo .
“Dorgo . What do you think? Will the water dragons mind if we come in such large numbers?”

“Oh, they won’t mind it at all . ”
“I see . Well, that’s good . ”
And so it was decided that Serulis, Shia and Nia would come with us .
Though, Nia had her lessons with Philly, so aside from the first day, she would only join us in the afternoon .
This was possible because of the teleportation circles .
And so the following day, we headed to the water dragon settlement after eating breakfast .
As it was the first day, Eric and Goran came with me .
Both of them would not be able to help in the defenses the whole time, but they had to meet with the water dragons .
Grulf came with me as if it were the most natural thing .
When we came out of the other end, we found ourselves in a very large room .
A splendid room made of stone .
“We have been waiting for you . ”
I young girl said as stood before us .
Her words were a little stilted and she bowed as if unfamiliar with the motion .
She seemed to be about the same age as Eric’s daughter . Perhaps about four .
Like Kathe and Dorgo, she had a long tail and horns on her head .
A dragon .
“Nice to meet you . I am Leea Inundashio, the crown princess of the water dragons . ”
She said with a look of nervousness .
Dorgo had said that the water dragons had no king .

Just one princess who was too young to rule .
Dorgo introduced us then .
“And this is the king of the kingdom of Mendilibar, His Majesty Eric Mendilibar . And this is Lord Goran Morton of the Adventurer’s Guild…”
One by one, he introduced us .
And while Leea was nervous, she greeted us all politely .
Still, Dorgo seemed to have skipped over me .
I thought he would introduce me after Eric and Goran, given our age .
But he didn’t until he had finished introducing Serulis, Shia, Nia and Grulf .
“And lastly, this man is the Great Philosopher, Our Saviour, Great High Sorcerer, Grand Duke Ruck Franzen . ”
Dorgo’s introduction had ‘Great’ in it twice .
I don’t think it was quite the official title .
He must have added it .
I wished he wouldn’t start adding words to it without permission .
“Lo-lord Ruck!”
Leea ran up to me .
“It-it is an honor to meet you . ”
“Your Highness . Thank you for having us . ”
The princess’s tail wagged up and down .
