## Chapter 1287 – The Capital

“Don’t you think? Actually, there’s no need to hide that this Holy Maiden is the Paladin’s woman anymore. It’s official now. An immutable truth.”

It had already spread after the last incident.

“Those who need to know already know. Not only the clergy but also the royal family. They’ve all obtained that information.”

Even today, I received some glares from the priests on my way here.

“In this situation, this Holy Maiden intends to flaunt the Paladin even more. Well, it’s a woman’s weapon, you see. The Paladin’s strength becomes this Holy Maiden’s power.”

Being Kim Kat’s woman has that kind of meaning.
It can become power in itself.

“Hehehe, well, do as you please. Kadia, do whatever you want. You’re not going to do anything weird, are you?”

Kadia isn’t the type of woman to do strange things using my name.

“Of course not. This Holy Maiden only holds power because it’s necessary. I won’t do anything unjust using the Paladin’s power. Is the Paladin the kind of person who wields power arbitrarily just because they have it?”
“Absolutely not.”
“That’s right. And this Holy Maiden thinks the same. However, now that I can be more politically free, there will be some changes. That’s all.”

That’s good enough.

“Anyway, the royal family will be contacting us soon. What should we do?”
“What else? We have to meet if they want to see us.”

There’s no need to create an uncomfortable relationship unnecessarily. I had that kind of conversation with Kadia. From what I could tell, Kadia was busy today. So much so that she said she couldn’t have sex with me. We agreed to do it a few days later.

“Ah… but. What on earth happened?”
“Hmm?”

Kadia asked.

“What happened to suddenly cleave the sky in two? I know the sky was split, but I haven’t heard why yet.”

I hadn’t told her yet.

It’s a bit late, but I should tell Kadia too.

“Ah, that. Kadia, it seems the Lich has obtained the power of a god.”
“Wh-What did you say!!!!!!”

This is going to be a long story again.

* * *

Kadia almost fainted listening to the story, but she barely regained her senses when she heard that I had crushed everything. But she was still taking it seriously.

“Incredible… haa…”
“It’s okay, I’m telling you.”
“Of course, if we have the Paladin, we can overcome such a crisis… but the problem is the blood that will flow in the meantime. Paladin… can you use large-scale gate magic to simultaneously block enemy troops attacking without any casualties?”
“Not even Buddha himself… no. I can’t.”
“That’s the thing.”

It can’t be helped.

“This Holy Maiden is tormented by the very thought of innocent people’s blood being shed because of such a thing. This compassionate nature makes this Holy Maiden’s heart very uneasy.”
“As expected of our Holy Maiden.”

Anyway, I focused on relieving Kadia’s greatly shocked mood. She seemed particularly lacking in energy in her shoulders. I wanted to stay with her, but as Kadia said earlier, she was busy today. Kadia isn’t the type of woman to abandon her work because of something like this.

* * *

Three days later.

I went to work at Kadia’s house, and I was able to hear the news from the royal family from her. It seemed they wanted to meet me. The royals must be quite anxious.

“Ugh… so who do I have to meet?”

Lying on the bed, I gently stroked Kadia’s head as she diligently sucked on my thing and asked. Kadia, who had just delivered the news, wordlessly sucked on my thing and squeezed out my semen… Ah. This is hard to resist.

Semen full in my balls quickly rises through the prostate. I didn’t resist the rising sensation of ejaculation at all and ejaculated into Kadia’s mouth.

“Ugh…”
“Eueup…”

As I gently pressed her head, Kadia swallowed all of my stuff. No. Correction. Because my ejaculation was long, she couldn’t swallow it all.

ㅡBleurp bluerp

The semen overflowing from her mouth drenched her hands and face.

“…”

Kadia silently looked at her hands, soaked with semen, licked it once with her tongue, and then wiped her face and hands with a handkerchief before continuing.

“…It was the royal family that requested the meeting. You will see several people.”
“Besides the princess, is there anyone else?”

Am I meeting someone other than Princess Einphel?

“Not only the princess but also King Karga will be thinking a lot about the Paladin.”

Am I meeting the king this time too?
I’ve only seen him once.

“Yes. The King, huh. What kind of person was he?”
“He is a ruler born from the royal family. His own power is not strong.”

Still, he had some dignity.

“But it is true that he is a capable ruler. That’s why he has the title of King. But as the Paladin knows… if a superhuman stronger than a Sword Master appears, and a clearly stronger superhuman at that, then such things can easily become meaningless.”

That’s right.

“In fact, the current royal family was established because the Sword Master acknowledged them. A superhuman’s rebellion can never be stopped. The reason why a rebellion didn’t happen was simply because of her friendship with them.”

This is also true.

In fact, if someone like the Sword Master thought about starting a rebellion, the people called kings would have to hand over the crown obediently.

The reason why such a thing doesn’t happen is purely because of friendship. Or because the superhuman has no interest in power. Or because they don’t care about troublesome things.

There are roughly those reasons.

“Yeah, well.”

I gave Kadia a wink.
Kadia naturally climbed on top of me.

“How do you think they’ll react?”
“Well… but whatever reaction they have, there won’t be any problems as the Paladin says. What would happen if the royal family antagonized the Paladin?”

Antagonize?

“I don’t forgive anyone who antagonizes me.”
“Exactly.”

But there’s no reason for them to antagonize me.

“It is truly difficult to displease a superhuman. Even for a king.”
“That’s true.”
“Think about the meaning of a superhuman that even a country’s army cannot stop.”

The current Karga Kingdom cannot stop me.
My power is stronger than the country.

“You could say that they are the country itself.”

Stronger than even combining some kingdoms.

“More than that. If the Paladin were to declare the founding of a nation, who could stop it? Everyone would have no choice but to acknowledge it.”

Declaration of founding a nation.

I have thought about being a king someday.
But that’s not now.

“Therefore, the royal family will either show great favor to the Paladin. Or they will try to make contact in a way that maximizes their own interests. Whatever it is, the Paladin just needs to be moderately polite and do as you wish.”
“As I wish?”
“Of course, the Paladin won’t act like a thug.”
“Hehehe, that’s right. I’m a noble messenger of justice.”
“The Paladin’s kind heart is the greatest blessing.”

Just make a sensible response.

“Anyway, Kadia. If I ever create a kingdom, you’re retiring as a Holy Maiden.”
“Retiring?”

Kadia tilted her head for a moment at those words.

“If I retire as a Holy Maiden, what identity will remain for this Holy Maiden? A sex slave?”

ㅡSqueak squeak.

Kadia, with a provocative smile, wiggled her hips and tickled my chin. The reason she could smile like that while slamming her waist down in a reverse cowgirl position was purely because she was using a heel on her uterus with her opposite hand… More than that, her pussy… As expected, Kadia’s pussy is good. She’s really good at reverse cowgirl.

“No… you have to organize the cabinet of the new kingdom.”
“Hoh? Were you already thinking that far?”
“I have to think about it.”
“Oh my.”

The cabinet will be composed of my women.

And under them, I’ll recruit competent officials and pay them salaries to run things. I’m just thinking about it roughly now, but I’ll make a proper plan soon. I always think that I’ll have dozens of children. In order to raise those dozens of children well, I need a kingdom where I am the king.

“But Kadia? A sex slave?”
“It’s quite an attractive position.”

ㅡHaa… Haa…

Kadia said, panting heavily and shaking her waist excitedly on top of me.

“Subordinate to the Paladin’s heinous club… living only indulging in pleasure might not be so bad. Haa… no. That’s okay too… How long do you intend to make me work… Haa… Haa…”

Kadia’s voice gradually becomes more dreamy, as if she is intoxicated by the sensation of shaking her waist itself.

“Yeah. Kadia, let’s have about twenty kids later.”
“What.”

There is no aging, and the lifespan is virtually immortal. If I achieve immortality, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to have dozens of children.

* * *

And I was formally invited by the royal family.

A grand invitation at that. The royal invitation procession continued in front of the Great Temple. After various procedures, I got into the invitation carriage and entered the royal palace under overwhelming escort.

“Please get off!”

The knights, who were very disciplined, guided me. Judging from their looks, it seemed that it had already spread to the knights. No. That’s obvious. If they looked up at the sky at that time, they would all know.

“Thank you for the guidance.”
“It’s nothing!”

The guiding knight showed excessive discipline and answered my simple greeting.

“What is that? Is this nothing? Guiding me?”
“Ah, no! That’s not what I meant!”
“Hehehe, I’m just kidding.”
“That can’t be!”

I walked while throwing a joke that is unique to the powerful, making the subordinate embarrassed.

Inside the carriage, I received a guide to the people I would meet today. I read it simply and roughly imprinted it in my head. There were also some troublesome etiquette written, but it wasn’t something I particularly needed to care about.

Why bother going that far.

I just need to show my manners as much as they treat me. The royal family’s troublesome etiquette and procedures only exist to force authority on beings lower than the king.

There’s no need for me to do that now.

ㅡThud thud.

The royal palace was always so huge and splendid. The interior was almost entirely white, so it felt very clean and spacious. I continued to walk while taking in the scenery. It was so wide that just being guided took a long time.

I soon arrived at my destination.

The first person I would meet today was none other than the Sword Master. The place I was guided to was a luxurious reception room, and she was already inside.

ㅡSwish.

As she turned around, looking out the window, she raised her hand, and all those who had followed as guides bowed and retreated. I went inside and closed the door.

ㅡSqueak.

Just as I was about to approach and speak.

“A society in upheaval.”

The Sword Master spoke first.
Still turned away, looking out the window.

“When the world falls into chaos, a hero appears. A hero is born in chaos.”

What is this old woman trying to say after calling me here?

It’s a way of speaking that first throws out a topic and then explains it. And with her back to me. This is a good way to create weight. As expected of someone who has served for decades, she seemed to be able to use this kind of rhetoric.

“Decades ago, the nomadic warriors of Mirkesha were that chaos, and the hero was none other than I, the Sword Master. Of course, there were heroes before that too. Going back, there were those called heroes during the Idol War.”
“…”
“But times have changed so much.”

Finally, she turned to me.

A smiling face, but still a woman with the impression of a professional serial killer.

“I’m starting to think I should put down the title of Sword Master, what does the Paladin think?”

I looked at her face, which was talking as she pleased, and smiled lightly as I answered.

“More than that, how about a love story?”
“Wh-What?”
“Love. Didn’t you talk about that with me last time? A discussion about power. A discussion about love. And!!!! Justice!!!! And pursuing it!!!!!”
“Ah, no! No. No… Paladin? Wait. Calm down.”
“Yes?”
“Are you suddenly going to continue the story from last time?”

She, who had been speaking with weight, said that with a noticeable embarrassment. As if she absolutely didn’t want to talk about the last story again, and she seemed to be afraid that the topic would flow in that direction.

This old woman was fun to tease too.

“Hehehe, I’m just kidding.”
“…”

She lost her words at the word joke.

“Yes. Anyway, it’s been a while, Sword Master. It’s nice to see you.”
“Um… yes. This Sword Master is also very happy to see you. Let’s sit down first.”
