Chapter 256 256 A simple request
[Lucy's POV: ]
"Hello, your majesty~. How has everyone been~."
She said that in their unique language, and since we all understood the language of their world, there was no need to use Mana speech anymore.
"Oh. You have finally shown yourself."
The four of them were in the living room with Ben before observing the unique toy that Friday must have given him yesterday, Kitty looking around the paintings in this place, and the couple sitting on the couch in the center, looking like a perfectly normal, harmonic family of four.
"We apologise for yesterday, your Majesty. There was a certain matter we had to attend to"
"No need to apologize, Master Lucifer. We understand the time slip of the dimensional dungeons could be quite a hassle sometimes.
They existed in our words as well, and personally, one of my uncles returned from a dimensional dungeon with similar time skip difficulties after two complete decades along with his party, without even being able to explore much of that place.
By the time he came back, Ben and Kitty had been born. And then those demons appeared shortly after the divinities of our world closed out that cursed dungeon."
"Something like that happened?"
"Yes. And sadly, I don't even know if that uncle is alive or not anymore since he was one of the people in charge of evacuation back at the time of the destruction."
"Damn…"
We didn't know this story. Or anything about their world having a different time difference dimensional dungeon.
And whoever this Uncle Lady Gabriel was talking about, in the current timeline, he was definitely dead and buried somewhere.
'Hundreds of years have passed since the attack on that place so, the chances that anyone related to the Marciel Pureblood royal family was still alive were very low.'
And we know for a fact that the branched family members and the elders of Marciel still are around the world with different names.
'But those bastards don't deserve this holy name at all.'
It was better that they lived with different names and ruled the world that was soon going to be overtaken by us.
"Anyways, that is the talk of the past.
Now that the two of you have finally shown yourself, come. Sit down and let us talk about the important things."
"Of course your majesty."
El was upset with me so there will be a little bubble in this conversation that will create some tension but, she knew how to keep the emotions away from the important matters.
So, hopefully, she won't do anything too stupid.
"So, first of all…"
We first sat down on the couch before them, and, the two young ones also came and sat down with their parents.
'They were still affected by that illness, and El will need a few weeks to synthesize the curse since it isn't anything simple, and the materials are not that easy to get our hands on, so, they will have to wait.'
They knew that much already.
This made this conversation, which was not about the cure, even more important.
"You said you wanted us. Like, the two of us."
"And the two of them, yes."
They couldn't go back to their world anymore, not at least as kings and or of royal blood, and certainly not when carrying that strange illness that was designed to kill them specifically by the very divine entities that they looked up to so much.
And they knew that as well. The part about not being able to go back at least.
So, we asked them if they wanted to be part of our 'family'.
'They can have their freedom and since they will be related to us, no one in this world can technically hinder them on the legal levels.'
The headmaster, the strongest power, and the association, one of the most authoritative powers of this world, were backing us.
And they used to be from the royal family as well, so, they knew how to act within a society that was very similar to the one we had here.
'They won't have any problem settling down here, and they can just live however they want.'
But for that, they had to become part of our family. On paper and practically in reality as well.
And looking at the confident look on their faces, looks like they have reached a positive conclusion.
"We are ready to do that then."
"Excellent decision-"
"Only if…'
"Hmmm?"
"Only if you accept a simple request of ours."
What is this now?
What kind of request do they want us to accept in exchange for a new healthy life in this new world?
"And what might that be?"
[ "Oy El! Let me think at least!" ]
[ "Hump!" ]
[ "You little…!" ]
Now she was being petty! What if their simple request is something absurd like-
"It's just a simple request, as I said.
I want my children to have a simple life in this new world. A life that they want for themselves.
And, I had already asked them what they wanted, to which, Kittey requested she wanted to attend the academy that the two of you go to, and Ben wants to see this new world by becoming an adventurer.
Thus, if possible, I want to become an adventurer in this world along with my wife and teach him everything I know until he is ready to go out in the world on his own. And, for my little daughter to attend the greatest school of this world, the one where you study, if possible."
"Um… that's it?"
That was all their simple request?
Then isn't it actually just a simple request instead of some actual royal level of 'simple' request?
"Do not worry, your majesty. What you have asked would have been the best thing to happen in my opinion and now that you have asked of this yourself, I request to be rest assured.
Your simple request will be our responsibility from now on."
[ "Oy El. That was something I was supposed to say." ]
[ "Shut up." ]
This little…!
She was even stealing my lines now!
What will remain of my role if you do everything then, you petty little cute girl!
At least let me talk!
That's the only thing I can do at the moment!
'Ughhhhh. This is unbelievable.'
I have to bring her back to normal.
Or perhaps my entire day and week will be ruined if this goes on like this…
