Chapter 99
Chapter 99: You Can Just Visit
As Nii-sama said, or rather, told me, “You were the one who told us to trick them . ” Nevertheless, everyone played the fool splendidly . I’m sure Bart and the others felt something, but they dealt with it by asking Wester what had happened . Alistair was prone to worrying, so I thought he was going to burst into the room straight away, but apparently Gill had stopped him .
“Al should calm down a little . ”
“You’re the one who should calm down a little, right Gill?” They said to each other . Even so, they became friends overnight . They’re already calling each other by their nicknames . I’ll try it too .
“Aw . ”
“Lei . ”
Alistair pitifully stared at me .
“It feels strange when you call me that, Lei . Won’t you call me as you always have?”
“Awishthair . ”
“Yup, that’s good . ”
Alistair looked at me, smiled and took my hand like he always did and started walking . We had to attend our audience with the King now .
“Wait . ”
“Huh?”
Nii-sama quietly separated our linked hands .
“I’ll take her . ”

Honestly, I didn’t care who took me, but sparks were flying above me . How troublesome, I thought, and Mill came and lifted me up .
“Stop dawdling . Now, let’s go . ”
This person really doesn’t care about social status or the situation . But, we were finally able to move thanks to him .
“Now, we’ve already finished our job at Wester, so let’s go back to Kingdom after we greet the King . We can’t go back today, so let’s go tomorrow,” Nii-sama muttered next to me . I can meet Otou-sama if we return quickly . But…
“Whath abouth Awishthair?”
“Me? I…”
Alistair looked down .
“Oh, yes . We took a lot of time to try to get along, that we didn’t really talk about Al’s future . ”
Gill put his hand to his forehead as if he’d made a blunder .
“I…!”
Alistair looked up at Gill and then looked at me in surprise .
“Awishthair, Lei’sh oway . Chu can do whath you wanth . ”
“I… don’t want to go to Kingdom . But, Lei…” Alistair said before looking down again, and I felt like I heard him mutter, “I don’t want to be separated . ”
I don’t either . With Alistair, nor Bart and his crew . But, Bart and his crew live as hunters, and Alistair doesn’t want to come to Kingdom . Even if he does come, Alistair will be in the Lisburn House, and I would only see him from time to time because he would need to attend the Academy .

“Vishith Kingdom . ”
That’s the best option .
“I want to visit . ”
“Miww come . ”
“Haha . But, we can’t stay in Kingdom even if we visit . Right, Bart?”
“Yeah,” Bart said as he scratched his head .
“Lei, you might not know this, but you need a permit to stay in Kingdom . ”
“Didn’th wnow . ”
Is that why they don’t interact much? Then, they can’t even visit?
“Then, Lei wiww come vishith . ”
“Eh, you will?” Alistair was surprised, and he looked up at me, who was being held by Mill .
“Ai . Withh Niini . ”
“Me too?” Nii-sama, who was suddenly dragged into the conversation, looked at me in surprise . I want to visit on my own, but I definitely won’t be allowed . So, I’ll rely on people .
“Geth awong withh Awishthair, Barth, Miww, Cwyde and Kyaro . Don’th wanth tho sheparathe . ”

“Lei, you…” Bart’s voice trembled . Mill gently lifted me higher .
“That’s right . We had a lot of fun together . ”
The mood became solemn .
“Dear me, it’s like we’re the bad guys because we didn’t talk about this first . ”
Nii-sama shrugged .
“It’s still too early for Lei to talk about the future . ”
Gill shrugged .
“It’s not appropriate to say this out in the corridor, but I prepared a Kingdom stay permit for the Hunters and Alistair . ”
“Eh, we’re going to Kingdom?” As I thought, it was Mill who had said that .
“Yes . This is a formal permit for entering and exiting Kingdom . This is one of the thank you gifts for looking after Lei . ”
“Then, Bart, we’ve saved enough money so let’s go if we have time . ”
“Mill, we’ll talk about that later . We have to discuss this with everyone . ”
Alistair looked up at me in happiness .
“Me too . Then I’ll go see you too . ”
“Ai!”
But, it’s much better than not being able to meet even though we feel lonely .
“Now, it’s time to meet the King . ”
“We haven’t seen him since we arrived . And the nobles were all lined up . ”
“No way . All we have to do is show him Lei and bid him farewell . ”
Yes way . Beyond the widely opened door, the King, Queen, and Princes were at the back in a slightly elevated position, and dressed up nobles were lined up in the room .
“Wait, didn’t we say that we didn’t need this?”
Bart stepped back .
“They told you guys to come with us, so it’s fine,” Nii-sama said as if he’d given up . I motioned for Mill to put me down .
“Now, Lei and Alistair . I’m sure you don’t want to do this, but you have to lead . I’ll walk next to you two, but you have to step forward first . ”
I looked at Alistair and nodded . If this situation is sorted by us becoming exhibitions and getting food then it’s fine, isn’t it? We stood next to each other and took a step forward . Nii-sama came up next to me, and Gill stood next to Alistair .
“Ooh,” the nobles roared and applauded . I don’t know what they were told, but it sounds as if they’re impressed that the Wester’s royal family helped the Four Marquis find their missing relatives .
I walked as much as I could and stopped near the King . Huu was there too, and he looked at me gently . He raised his eyebrow a little when our eyes met . I felt a bit relieved .
However, I felt an uncomfortable feeling near where the nobles were standing for some reason . He was a noble, but he looked different . I suddenly looked at him and gulped .
He was watching us silently with his sly narrow yellow eyes, while everyone was clapping and sharing their excitement with the people next to them .
