Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 473: Work at the Royal Palace

While King Valkyra and Prime Minister Simon were wracking their brains regarding Takumi, the king of the country on the northwest part of the continent was also thinking about Takumi.

One of Takumis wives was the daughter of a Chevalier of Yggurle Kingdom, and she herself was once an honored knight.

However, nowadays she had very weak connection to Yggurle Kingdom.

Many of the domestic nobles believe that Yggurle Kingdom, the nation of Elves that are supposedly close with the Spirits, should build a close relationship with the Sanctuary.

The reason they could not loudly voice this out to Valkyra Kingdom and Takumi was because not all of the nobles were rational, and if they were to displease the Great Spirits who were backing Takumi, not only would they lose the blessing of the Spirits and be unable to hear the voice of the Spirits, they would also lose their Spirit Magic.

Looking up at the World Tree and sighing was the King of Yggurle, Forselty.

Your Majesty, is something bothering you?

mm, ah, Balza, is that you?

The old Elven Prime Minister Balza greeted King Yggurle, but reply he got back was weak.

Your Majesty, is what is causing you worry the low ranking nobles of other countries clamoring for the Sanctuary to be their own?

Can you read my mind, Balza?

The source of my information was Princess Mimir. Your Majesty, there is no need for concern. It would be impossible for such riffraff to be approved by the Great Spirits. Our problem is that we have fools causing a ruckus for a different reason in our country.

As Balza had said, Yggurle Kingdom as of now have no intention of making a connection to Takumi like the lower nobles of other countries. The reason being, the only person to be granted a mansion in the Sanctuary was Mimir, the princess of Yggurle Kingdom.

It was a big deal that Princess Mimir was allowed to stay in a mansion in the Sanctuary. After all, Princess Mimir spends an overwhelming amount of her time in her Sanctuary mansion.

They heard that she was building up a very good relationship with the Great Spirits. There was no need for Yggurle Kingdom to push further than necessary.

King Yggurles gaze on the World Tree through a window moved to another window. There, the cherry blossom tree that Princess Mimir had brought back was now blooming spectacularly.

Certainly, the problem lies underneath our nations feet.

We must deal with those claiming that the Spirit Tree is the property of Elves, and that Takumi, who is lording over their property, should be defeated.

Kuh

With Balza saying that, King Yggurle held his aching stomach and grimaced.

Just how do they intend to defeat Takumi? They should know that the barrier cant be broken even if the Elven Mages form groups. Then would they target him when he leaves the Sanctuary? Wouldnt Yggurle Kingdom find itself in a predicament if this scheme were to be disclosed to Valkyra Kingdom and other countries?

King Yggurle could not let go of his stomach medicine because their nation had many weak-headed nobles.

I believe it would be better to purge the heads of such foolhardy Houses.

Well, that would easily be better for our country.

Of course, both Balza and King Yggurle knew that such an act could not be done, but it was deep enough of a problem to grumble about.

I was busy planting cherry blossom trees in a section of the garden of a majestic castle.

We had used Tsubakis carriage on the way to Earl Rockfords estate, but this time, we simply teleported close to the Royal Capital.

Just in case, I reserved an inn after checking our schedule at the Royal Castle, then early morning the next day, I headed to the Royal Castle because I was told they wanted to meet me the next day.

I silently planted cherry blossoms in the places indicated by the gardener under the Royal Family.

For some reason, I could feel the stare from Prime Minister Simon who was here to observe digging a hole on my back.

(Awkwarrrrd~. I thought he didnt have free time to spare though.)

As though he heard my internal monologue, Lord Simon began talking.

Apologies for having summoned you all the way to the capital, Iruma-dono.

N-no, Im fine with this!

Startled that my inner grumblings were found out, I stuttered involuntarily.

Margrave Volton and Earl Rockford boasted of its beauty. I wanted His Majesty and Her Majesty to see it. Forgive me, Iruma-dono. In exchange, the Royal Family will block the requests from other noble families.

I see, that helps.

Furthermore, you may leave the marriage offers from the pesky noble houses to us as well. After all, marriage offers dripping of ulterior motives would only annoy you.

That would be really help.

Umu, we will shoulder the responsibility. Rest assured.

It was honestly such a relief to hear from Lord Simon that the Royal Family would deal with the marriage offers and portrait matters.

I thought I could seclude myself in the Sanctuary in the worst case scenario since I dont know how to deal with it.

Planting the cherry blossom trees were was troublesome, but Im glad I came to the Royal Capital.
