妻子的秘密

“Now that I think about it, he has been smiling much more as of late. I think he is currently counting down the days.” Adel sighed as she pressed hard on my shoulders.

“That’s the spot…. Reminded me to take him down a notch when we officially return to the kingdom.” I couldn’t help but let out a relaxed sigh. It was really amazing. Massages always feel good when you have stress built up. As for the king, I just liked ruining his day. It was fun.

The next day a messenger came from the castle. So Sophie, Adel, and I made a trip back to the castle to surprisingly be met with a grand ceremony. All the knights who were loyal to the crown all stood in line with their swords held in front of their chests as we made our way to the throne room. This was truly not what I was expecting. When we reached the throne room. The king, two other young men, and Kim were standing next to him.

The king slowly stood up and bowed to us. “Princess Cyrilia, Princess Adel, Miss Sophie, I humbly thank you for your assistance. Because of you, the people of this kingdom can be safe and sound and not under a militaristic rule. Besides the land, we would like to openly have trade talks with your kingdom as well.”

“We will need to establish an embassy here in this kingdom to establish such ties.” I watched as the King lifted his head, not understanding what I meant.

“Princess Cyrilia, excuse me for not being knowledgeable enough, but what is an embassy?” The king asked.

“An embassy is a place for kingdoms who have some form of relationship to go to that can provide assistance to their own people if need be. Think of it as a plot of land owned by the other kingdom. It would be considered an attack on the kingdom if another kingdom attacked the embassy. It can also be a go between for other countries who wish to communicate certain things.” I explained as best as I could while incorporating this world’s way of doing things.

“I see…. Then we will do that. We would like to formally form an alliance with the Kingdom of Gravos. We will gather a few sites within the capital that can be used for this embassy thing and allow your kingdom to pick which site is good.” I am not sure if it is just me, but this king really makes quick decisions. But one thing is for sure, and that is that this kingdom has the same values as the Gravos kingdom, which makes them a good partner to form an alliance with. With a teleport set up between the two kingdoms, we can do trader and passage between the two kingdoms for a toll cost on each side, allowing a bit more income for both kingdoms.

“I will relay your wishes to my King. But I will need to set up a teleport area for them to be able to come and go as needed. This should be set up in a safe location that can be guarded easily.” Having a secure point will allow for a bit of breathing room to build up trust between the two kingdoms.

“Mmm… For now, we can set one up at a location within the city. If you can, give me one more day to make arrangements.” With this, I received the bill of sale.

The next day I met with one of the officials. We went to a house and set up a teleport circle in the basement and had the house become a knights barracks that would be guarded day and knight.

After making arrangements on the Gravos side of things, I finally set off once more. The diplomacy portion can be done by the two kings. The airship was once more flying through the air. However, we did have one extra visitor. Today was Diablo’s day to spend time with me. As always, his ears were bright red as he talked with me. You would think as a high and mighty demon king would be more straightforward and not so reserved, but it seemed this was the case for all demons.

“Mas…. Faith. Do you plan to dive into any dungeons in the near future?” Diablo asked.

“Mmm… Probably. During that time, I will be working on leveling up as much as I can. Probably will be after I finish up in the dwarven kingdom. Why do you ask?” Diablo never really cared about where I went, so I was curious as to why he would suddenly ask this.

“I…. I want to go with you. Not to get in the way of your training but to protect you…. As we are…. Ummm… in a relationship…. I do not wish to see you get hurt.” Diablo’s face slowly turned red, causing me to grin. At times like this, he was indeed cute. As we slowly got to know each other over the past few years, Diablo has really shown me how much he cares about me and not just as his master but as someone who was, in demon tradition, married to him. He never made a move on me this entire time, knowing I was not ready yet since we were not at that stage in our relationship, but he was very caring.

So in the future, once things settle down and things keep on course, maybe things between Diablo and I will get to that point to where my mother and father will finally see a grandchild from me. But this is still something I do not know.

But for now, before that ever happens, I will need to first get married to the two girls at my side. Iena and Diablo will probably come soon after. So, for now, at Diablo’s words, I smiled and snuggled into his chest. “Then you can come. But make sure you tell Iena. Make sure she knows what you plan to do.”

“I will… Iena is a good girl, and she understands that I can not have a family with her, but she also wants you and I to be happy as well…. She also talks about you all the time, which gives us a lot to talk about.” Diablo replied.

“Mmm… Iena is very sweet. Adel and Sophie also like her a lot.” I said as I leaned up and kissed Diablo’s lips.
