671 – One Is Not Affectionate – 5

While explaining to the emperor how he went to look for Ziz and succeeded in capturing Ziz, a report came from the local governor in charge of Croita and nearby areas.

“It is said that Behemoth came out of the pit. There are only three beings left who remember Trika, including himself, and he has expressed his intention to live in memory of Trika until the end of his life.”

‘Oh.’

I was secretly amazed at the emperor’s words after confirming the local governor’s report.

I don’t know what Ziz said, but Behemoth, who had been in tears after entering her hole, succeeded in regaining his motivation.

Of course, regaining motivation will not bring dramatic changes. Aside from his gentle personality, Behemoth quietly took care of livestock even when the Trica Empire was in power. Because Trika’s authority at the time was too strong for an external enemy to appear.

And the national power and majesty of the current Kpelopen Empire far surpassed that of Trika at the time. Behemoth’s role is simply to play with livestock every day.

“You remained a loyalist to a fallen country, not a martyr.”

“As long as I live, I will do my duty as a guest of the empire, so I should be satisfied. It is enough to think that one more dragon or other race has been created.”

The emperor, who gave off a look of satisfaction, eventually lifted the teacup to his mouth.

Unfortunately, Behemoth did not completely become a subject of Kfelopen and Liv Noman, but he did not call for the reconstruction of Trica or Kpelopentado. Acknowledging Kpelopen’s reign and remaining quiet. It is a fairly good compromise between Behemoth and the Empire.

Moreover, as the emperor said, there are already many beings in ambiguous positions in the empire. Dragons who live alone in caves and other races that do not come out of the foreign race reserve. It is the empire’s specialty to coexist with beings who may not be subjects, but who can be called friends.

“Well, now that it’s like this, I’m planning to gradually lift the access control. I can’t let anyone approach, but if a huge cow appeared near the capital of the Trika Empire, there wouldn’t be any tourist attractions like that. If you spread the word, money will roll in from all over the continent. I’ll come in.”

I nodded at the sight of the emperor smiling.

Croita is already a historically important city, and many scholars and tourists flock to it. But is there a wandering cow wandering around the ruins of the city? Is that also an artificial life form created during the Trika Empire?

It is an incredible tourism product that combines interest and storytelling. If you are even slightly interested in history, it would be rude not to take a look.

“But wouldn’t Behemoth be reluctant? If he gets all the attention as soon as he wakes up, he might be bothered.”

“Don’t worry about that. During the Trika era, wasn’t he a guardian protecting the imperial palace? He was a being that showed off the majesty of the imperial family, so he’s probably used to being looked at.”

I was convinced because the words were persuasive.

Well, that’s right. If a stray cow stands right next to the imperial palace, it itself poses a threat to the enemies of the empire. At the same time, the dignity of the imperial family that commands such beasts also increases. If it were me, I would have made it public so that others could see.

…

“I don’t know how the guy who proudly stood next to the imperial palace ended up having his record his expunged.”

Even the emperor remained silent at my question.

Leviathan became a close friend of the Golden Ball and became a multi-purpose, unsinkable aircraft carrier, Ziz became an air battleship belonging to the Crasius family, and Behemoth became a de facto member of the Livnoman royal family. It is a positive result of forgotten ancient creatures being brought side by side into the arms of the empire.

However, regardless of the results, the process is still full of questions. How on earth did Trika create an artificial life form, why did he not wake up the three beasts until the moment of destruction, and how did such large creatures disappear from the records? Nothing has been revealed.

“Let’s take our time to find out the more puzzling things. For now, it’s enough to just be happy that they have become friends of the empire. “

“This is indeed a wise judgment, Your Majesty.”

It was a basic answer, but at the same time, it was a judgment that was almost standard.

Okay, there’s nothing urgent anyway. If those three were hostile to the empire or escaped to another country, nothing would be more terrible, but if they were quietly in the arms of the empire, it would be enough to go through the process slowly.

So, as the emperor said, let’s take it easy and find out. Let’s hear more information about Leviathan, Behemoth, and Ziz once they become more familiar to the Empire.

“But Minister.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Please speak.”

“It’s good that the bird named Ziz persuaded Behemoth, but a fight broke out when Behemoth tried to eat the livestock it was caring for. Fortunately, Ziz just returned and it didn’t lead to a serious conflict.”

“…It was probably a prank to appease a friend who had lost motivation.”

“Hmm, I guess so?”

The emperor nodded his head as if he was convinced by my words.

Actually, it’s a lie. Considering the nature of the jiz I experienced, it is highly likely that he was really hungry and tried to eat it but failed and returned.

‘The first thing I do to a friend I haven’t seen in 2,000 years is to rob…’

It’s amazing. If you look at it positively, it is a godsend that awakened Behemoth’s survival and labor instincts at the same time, but there is no way Ziz intended to do so and attempted plunder.

Vicious b*stard. How can you not think of eating your friend’s pet who has lost her will to live? Before meeting Ziz, Behemoth was always stuck in a hole, and the only time he was able to free himself was to take care of the livestock?

‘This guy had enough mana to begin with.’

I have to say something when I return to the north.

Behemoth doesn’t raise your food, it raises your pets.

No, in the first place, don’t pick up and eat other people’s things.

Rumors about the three giant beasts quickly spread throughout the continent.

Leviathan is living in the sea off Boyar after floating leisurely over Zereno, while Behemoth is taking care of hundreds of cows and sheep near Croita. Ziz traveled across the continent to meet those two.

A situation that has flaunted its existence to the extent that it is impossible to control information by mobilizing all of the empire’s capabilities. Thanks to this, the Empire’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Education were in a quandary as they had to deal with unexpected visit requests from foreign delegations and joint research requests from continental scholars.

And if the entire continent is turned upside down, it naturally means that the imperial palace is in chaos,

“It’s a shame! It’s shameful!”

This means that the Big Trio has entered the Crown Princess’s ears.

“I want to see whales, cows, and birds!”

She smiled bitterly as she looked at the princess lying on the floor and struggling.

The Crown Princess, who was already very curious, grew up in an environment where there were many opportunities to come into contact with animals. In the imperial palace, there are animals raised by the royal family, and in our mansion, there are Titi and holy beasts. That’s why her interest and affection for animals is unrivaled compared to other children.

What the Crown Princess is talking about is the basic option, and she missed out on animals of such enormous size. If she only looked at sheer size, she had never seen anyone surpass Athelius. The princess’s resentment will reach the sky.

“Me! A whale! I’ve never seen one before!”

Even among the three, Leviathan was a whale.

Cows were raised by the family, and eagles were in our mansion, so the Crown Princess often saw them, but she had never seen whales. It’s natural, since she’s never left the island, let alone gone to sea.

“Your Highness.” Do you already know what a whale is?”

First, in order to appease the princess who was struggling in sorrow, she began to praise her lavishly.

Our Maria didn’t know what a whale was or what the sea was. For children who grew up only inland, that’s average.

However, the Crown Princess seemed to know what a whale was. If you take advantage of this and float her daughter, her sorrow will go away a little.

“Ugh! I know! I heard it’s a really big fish!”

In fact, when I showed my admiration, the Crown Princess, who was lying on the floor, quietly got up from her seat.

“It’s blue! It’s spouting water from its back her her her! Anyway, it’s a really big fish!”

“That’s amazing. As expected, you are very intelligent.”

To be exact, it was a mammal, not a fish, but with my poor knowledge and speaking skills, I was not confident that I could explain the difference between fish and mammals to a child.

Just start fishing today. If the next emperor is a fish, then he is a fish.

“That’s why I had high expectations! You just got rid of me so shamelessly!”

‘Ah.’

In the meantime, the Crown Princess’s resentment broke out again.

I made a mistake. I was so focused on compliments that I couldn’t get out of the topic.

“…Your Highness. Then.”

Looking at the princess getting ready to lie down on the floor again, I knelt down to her eye level.

If you fail to change the topic, there is nothing you can do. If you can’t go against it, it’s natural to join.

“Would you like to go see the older children with this godfather?”

Then, the body of the Crown Princess, who was preparing for her floor freestyle, suddenly stopped.

“Really?”

“Of course. How could I lie?”

“Whales, cows, birds, everything?”

“Of course. Would you like to try riding a bird?”

“Wow!”

She smiled brightly as she saw the Crown Princess nodding her head.

The emperor would probably be shocked if he found out. Flying in the sky with her daughter-in-law on her beast, or leaving her islands to go to the north, Kroita, or the boyar duchy, is something the emperor will never tolerate.

But what if you can’t tolerate it? What can you do when the princess is already trapped by giant beasts?

Are you going to stop it by raising the majesty of the emperor? Are you prepared to receive the Crown Princess’ resentment and her hatred?

‘That can’t be possible.’

If a child’s interests and interests are focused on something, parents can never stop it. There is nothing the emperor can do other than pray and take comfort in the fact that I accompany the princess.

And it is also beneficial to Livnoman for the Crown Princess and the three giant beasts to meet each other. The current emperor has a relationship of understanding with the three giant beasts, but the future emperor, the Crown Princess, will treat the giant beasts with the friendship she has cultivated since her childhood.

‘I have to take my kids with me anyway.’

Crucially, our children, including Peddie, also want to see giant beasts.

Since we’re going on a beast tour with the kids anyway, it’s easier to go with everyone, including the princess.
