Cheat Awakening

While waiting for a certain someone to come, Aniue was having a brief discussion about the kingdom\'s army and the recent increase in demon activity with his Father Faren when they heard a familiar voice with the sound of the door knocking from the other side.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, but I heard you are looking for me. Can I come in?"

Hearing the nervous voice of the person they were waiting for, Faren answered.

"You\'ve finally arrived; come in."

"Your Majesty Faren and Your Highness Aniue, I apologize for keeping both of you waiting."

Apologizing while nervously bowing to them, although he is normally a very serious and tough guy when he faces us, he immediately becomes as humble as a dog. I wonder where he learned this kind of thing," Aniue thought, wearing a bitter smile. Sometimes he missed Myne, as not many people can be casual around him other than his family.

"I was the one who called for you, so you don\'t have to apologize for it. After all, you can\'t just teleport to me right after hearing that I summon you, right?" Faren said, erasing the newcomer\'s nervousness with a smile.

As always, Father knows how to make someone comfortable with him. I still have a lot to learn from him," Aniue thought, shaking his head helplessly. He then refocused his attention on the leader of the Fist Knight Division, Gale Works—the person they had been discussing earlier.

Normally, the leader of the knights would have numerous opportunities to come into contact with the royal family, especially someone like Aniue, with whom they frequently engaged in mock battles. However, treating the royal family casually, as Myne did, was not something many people had the courage to do. Enjoy more content from m-v l\'e|-NovelBin.net

It had literally become a tradition or a fact that when meeting a member of royalty, one should always be formal and respectful, either out of respect or out of fear of death.

"Gale, what I am about to discuss with you is a top-secret matter of our kingdom. No matter what happens, the information you are about to hear must not leak from this room. Do you understand what I am trying to say?" Faren, after injecting a bit of humor, adopted a serious expression and spoke with a hint of threat.

As Farentightened his face, and the first knight division leader, Gale, who was nervous from the beginning, started to sweat buckets. Still not wanting to make Farne and Aniue, who were staring at him seriously like tigers eyeing their prey, feel uneasy, he lowered his head and nodded rapidly.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. I won\'t lack anything even if someone puts a sword to my throat."

Indeed, the topic we\'re about to discuss is a highly confidential matter. Although we\'ve already started spreading rumours about an elf staying in our palace, at the end of the day, it\'s all fake. If Gale told someone about it, and the whereabouts of that elf princess leaked out, then Myne might face tons of trouble every day, which no one wants to see. So, this kind of threat is necessary.

Though Father and I both trust Gale completely since he has been with us for a decade, it doesn\'t hurt to be extra careful.

Inside such a high-tension atmosphere, Father finally explained the reason why he summoned Gale.

"You know my son-in-law, Myne, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I\'ve met Lord Myne. He is a kind-hearted soul. Although he doesn\'t talk much with me, my subordinates praise him quite a lot."

"Good. That makes it easier. Have you heard about the incident some time ago where we found an orc settlement in the forest near Lucus Town?" Faren, after nodding his head, continued in a mysterious tone.

"I have heard about it, Your Majesty. It is said that the Orc King was one of the weakest in history, lacking even a single skill. We annihilated the entire settlement without any casualties," Gale replied excitedly with pride in his tone.

"It\'s good that you know about this matter, but there is something that not many people are aware of. Actually, it was Myne who discovered that settlement first. Later, not only did he fight with the Orc King alone to give his two wives enough time to escape, but he also came back without a scratch."

"However, these are not important matters. What I wanted to convey is that when we killed the Orc King and searched the settlement, we found a woman in the Orc King\'s tent..."

From here, Faren suddenly stopped talking as he stared at Gale with a cold, expressionless face.

With Faren doing that, Gale became increasingly tense; the amount of sweat on his face increased significantly.

"…And that woman was from the elf race."

"!!! NANI !!!"

Gale is usually known for his calm and serious demeanour, but even he was unable to stay calm after learning such a shocking fact. This reaction is quite normal; even I couldn\'t maintain my composure back then when I heard about it, let alone him.

Gale opened his eyes wide and wanted to ask something as if interested, but immediately stopped himself from showing too much curiosity.

"So, it is one of the survivors of the elf races... That means..."

As expected of Gale, he understood the seriousness of this matter. This topic could lead to a conflict between two kingdoms if mishandled. If people knew that there is a long elf here and that too a princess, powerful people or so-called good people from all over the world wouldn\'t hesitate to cross their own moral limits and would do anything to take that surviving elf princess for themselves.

After all, this is a well-known fact that Hume likes elves the most, especially elven women."

Yes, like the former King Wills. Although he was the one who crazily bought elves from the market, he wasn\'t alone out there; there are tons of people who wanted elven slaves to fulfil their evil desires. Either way, the feeling of such greedy desire toward the Augusta Kingdom would lead to a swirl of conflict.

Such a dispute might cause the kingdom to decline, as many will try to attack from the shadows to show their fangs, and in some cases, like Wills, we may again be subjected to the divine beast\'s judgment.

No one wants to see such days, so it is better if this elven princess matter stays hidden from people and never comes to light.

Sigh, why do these kinds of troubles always come knocking on our door? Being good is also a sin. At least God didn\'t ignore us and gave us a big supporter like Myne, on whom we can rely at critical times, Aniue thought while rubbing his forehead in a headache.

"About the female elf, for now, we are protecting her in the Adventurer\'s Guild of Lucas. But you know the Adventurer\'s Guild was never a good place where someone could stay for too long. It is only a matter of time before things get out of hand... The guild leader had already asked me for her protection, although originally, he wanted to send that hot potato to us..."

\'Well, it was only a matter of time before things came to that point eventually. Even for the guild leader, it is not easy to protect an elf secretly without letting anyone know about it. After all, he can\'t just stay with her all the time. As a guild leader, he has to do work as well.

Even if I were to be put in his position, I think that I would ask Your Majesty for help," Gale directly ignored Faren\'s last remark and humbly gave his opinion.

"Well, that\'s true from what you said, and it\'s my responsibility too. However, there would be various problems with just simply protecting her in the royal palace, and this is not realistic to think that she would absolutely be safe here."

While listening to Faren\'s words, Gale thought for a second and agreed as well.

"So then, what should we do about it, Your Majesty?"

"I\'ve decided to let Myne handle this elf matter," Faren calmly said while observing Gale carefully.

"Let Lord Myne handle it!? That is indeed a great idea. The Lucus Town would be the safest place for that elf since not many people go there, and that place itself is relatively very calm...

Of course, his personal strength is the real deal, but it can be said that it is also safe from an outward point of view as well." Gale nodded, recalling the giant catfish Myne brought from the Divine Beast Forest. Personal strength is indeed guaranteed.

Faren then took a deep breath and finally came to the main point after confirming that Gale digested all the information.

"And that is why I called you over. Because I\'ve decided to keep that elf woman within Myne\'s new clan, I would like to give you a secret mission of protecting that elf woman."

He straightened his arms instantly; truly a reliable man, Faren nodded his head with satisfaction.

"Is it okay to give such a high-level top-secret mission to a random guy like me? Can a weak guy like me meet the expectations of Your Majesty? Speaking of someone else, for example, Cecil of the 2nd Knights division, he is more powerful and smarter than me; maybe he can handle this mission much more perfectly than me..."

Cecil of the 2nd Knight, indeed is also a reliable person in terms of strength. However, his personal character is near the red line. There isn\'t any reason to tell such a person about a top-secret matter who easily spits out everything after drinking a little alcohol. The bigger problem is that he loves girls from other races the most.

Many people have complained about him going into brothels and making a ruckus. By the way, now he is currently banned from almost all brothels in the capital. If we left this mission to him, then it is only a matter of time before striking with the girl who was supposed to be protected by him."

No matter how high Cecil is in position, I don\'t think he could endure an elf who is said to be the most beautiful, especially when he loves to have sex with women of other races."

Even if he manages to hold back his evil thoughts for the elf princess, but if he tries to flirt with Aisha someday, then with Myne\'s character, we might not know how he disappeared. That\'s why I dismiss him as soon as his name surfaces in my mind."

While Aniue was lost in his own thoughts, Faren continued.

"Gale, have you already considered that it might be impossible?"

Gale unconsciously gave a bitter smile towards Faren; he already knew that since Faren had disclosed such a significant secret to him, it meant that his opinion didn\'t matter anymore. No matter what he said, he was already on the road where he could only move forward.

"I understand. In any case, I heard this story directly from Your Majesty and Your Highness, and since you both respect and trust me greatly, I happily accept this mission. So, will it be a squad? And what about my family?"

Hearing Gale\'s expected answer, Faren smiled brightly and spoke with a happy expression.

"I will explain it from here on out. First of all, although you\'re the leader of the 1st division, you will be treated as a guard under the Konoe Division. Your position will be to report directly to me. Your duty will be planned in Lucas Town, where Myne\'s clan house is located.

We will prepare a nice residence for you there so you and your family can migrate there. But if you want, you can also stay in the clan building after it is officially established. Sylphy told me that they are also building a domestic system for clan members. However, as a family guy, I think you should stay in your own residence; it depends on yourself."

Saying this, Faren gestured to Aniue behind him, who immediately started explaining the salary, other treatments, important key information, and some warnings so Gale wouldn\'t suddenly disappear from the world due to his ignorance.

"So, that\'s the gist of it you should take care of... Any other questions?"

"I never thought this mission would be so dangerous. It would be better if I stayed away from Lord Myne and his family. By the way, am I the only one who will be transferring to Lord Myne\'s clan?"

"No, two more people are going with you. But they are more like workers there, so don\'t have too much hope in them. In this mission, you are on your own, so be more careful. However, as long as Myne is around, you don\'t have to worry about anything. Just pay more attention when he is on a mission, or when he is not present in the town."

Well, with this, things could finally move on. I have to quickly set up a team of talented individuals and bring them to Myne. I shouldn\'t bring too many beautiful girls. Last time I accidentally heard from Sylphy that Myne is very obsessed with big boobs, so it is better to take this key point into consideration during recruitment.

I don\'t want to see Sylphy crying because Myne is flirting with some other girl, Aniue thought with a determined face.
