"Haaahaa......putting back everything in order is harder than I thought"
I am currently walking down the hallway with the fainted Glinnis on my back.
We ended up messing the whole room grandly, so it took me too much effort to clean up.
Well, it was me who did them all, so I just reaped what I sowed.
"I ended up wiping up all the parts that got wet and ventilating the area so they wonât notice the smell......"
The traces had been wiped clean, so it wonât be noticed unless someone has really outstanding detective skills.
Now that the time for administrative duties are over, Iâm now pretty safe from Cecilâs preaching.
Still, to make sure she wonât complain, I went through all the documents that I looked over from the beginning.
"Even all of that, you still havenât woken up yet?"
I directed my question to the girl at my back, but sheâs still unconscious.
As sheâs acting completely senseless, it means she has completely entrusted herself to me.
Still, isnât your expression way too comfortable?
Youâre not sleeping, arenât you?
"Well, it doesnât matter. Iâll just take you to your room and let you sleep there."
The wivesâ rooms are close to my room.
After this, Letâs go back to my room right away and plop to bed early.
Iâm really tired of all that happened here today.
"I really want to sleep now......Here, off you go"
I finally arrived at Glinnisâ room, then opened the door without a knock.
It was a necessary etiquette in the castle but I forgot.
Once I opened the door, I saw a few people looking at us dumbfoundedly, then going into a panic afterwards.
"A-Allan-sama, and also Lady Glinnis!"
The maids shouted out.
Were they in charge of taking care of this succubus? I really canât remember.
Naturally, all my wives have their own ladies-in-waiting, but I still couldnât remember a few of them.
"We are glad you are safe. We have lost sight of you around noon, so we were at a loss"
A senior elf who seem to be their representative said to me then sighed.
Looks like this girl ran away from them and came looking for me.
"It seems we have gotten you quite worried. Iâll tell Glinnis later."
Sheâs always had a carefree personality after all.
To the point that Iâm already wondering if she will get accustomed to the position or not.
It can also be said to the other queen consorts. A lot of them are really having a hard time to adjust.
"Nay, not at all. Itâs because we are being negligent......"
"Donât get so serious. If itâs in this country, then it wonât be a problem. Glinnis too, is not that weak herself."
She isnât Beatriceâs direct subordinate just for show.
She should have the ability to be able to survive on her own even if some problems occur.
"Plus, if you worry too much, your stomach will hurt. For now, help me get Glinnis to bed"
"Of course, your Majesty"
I unloaded the unconscious Glinnis out of my back.
Some of the maids approached me and held her gently, then put her on the bed.
Itâs probably okay with this now.
"Then, Iâm going"
"Yes, thank you for the hard work, your Majesty"
"Yeah, say that to Glinnis too once she wakes up"
I told the maid then left the room.
Then I walked down the hallway going back to my room.
There is also the room of Fran in this floor, but letâs stop by tomorrow.
I really need to rest my body tonight.
This action might be pretty pathetic for a man, but still, it was really tough.
"Letâs go back and sleep......"
I finally reached my room. I opened the door and went inside.
As this was the Kingâs private quarters, the room is quite gorgeous.
I said to the staff to make it simpler as I wonât be able to calm down if it was too gaudy, but it still gave a high-quality feeling. By the way, the bed is separated by a door.
Itâs more than enough for me who have traveled and camped in many places.
"Now then, I wonder where did I put my drinks......?"
Since I went and became Glinnisâ partner and became the janitor of the room as well, my throat is parched from all that work.
I took out a drink from a fridge that seems to have been made with the magic of the elves.
I calmed down a little having drank a bit.
I also understood that my body that was burning now felt relaxed.
"Sleepwear......too troublesome, letâs skip them"
As I didnât even have the energy left to change clothes, I went to the bed with my current outfit.
Iâll wipe my body tomorrow morning.
"Fuuu, there will be a lot of work tomorrow too. Letâs go to bed early"
I opened the bedroom door. However, my movements stopped there.
For some reason, the lights were on.
Looking closely, someone is sitting on a chair next to the bed.
"......Who is it?"
I was on guard for a second, then the person in the chair turned her face towards me.
"Iâve been waiting for you, Allan. Youâre quite late, arenât you?"
She spoke with a dignified attitude. It was Beatrice.
Seeing there is a book on her right hand, it seems that she was here for quite some time.
There are many things I want to ask her, but more than anything, first......
"Why are you here? I mean, how did you get in?"
Since it is the kingâs chambers, it is strictly locked.
The only person who has the key is the Head Maid whoâs in charge of cleaning, and she who also served my father wonât just give it to anyone.
"Non-magical keys are worthless in front of me"
Beatrice then showed her left hand that didnât have the book.
It was a stone key - and it was similar to the one I have.
âItâs pretty easy to duplicate a key if you use magic to inspect its internal structure"
"Hahaha, thatâs pretty convenient......"
I could do nothing but laugh.
Come on, try to remember where the magic locks in the castle are......
Iâm sure there are about three places......no, is it still worth the opponent for Beatrice?
As if sheâs already seen through what I was thinking, she smiled at me.
"Donât worry, I donât enter strange places"
"I would be happy if you really do"
I still am unable to eat her in magic skills.
If she got serious, she could uncover every corner of this country, and honestly, itâs scary.
"Yeah, I understand. Still, I couldnât help but worry. So, what did you come here for?"
I asked her as I sit on the bed.
She wouldnât invade other peopleâs room just for thoughts.
As expected of the Demon Lord that had tried to rule over the world, sheâs got the wisdom and the intelligence to administer a nation. She also knew the consequences of this matter enough.
Beatriceâs lips however, distorted to a grin.
It gave me a bad feeling, but before that, she sat next to me.
"Letâs see......you told me that you had something to do thatâs why you refused my invitation, right?"
I nodded, still trying to understand.
I really went to the inspection after that. I didnât lie.
"Well, enough about that. You embraced Erune and Glinnis afterwards, am I right?"
"What......!"
What she had just said opened my eyes wide.
"Thatâs quite an easy-to-read reaction. It will be tough on you to form diplomacy with that, you know?"
Beatrice looked at me then smiled.
"Anyway, is that really necessary to refuse my wish if you can afford to embrace another woman?"
I donât really understand why she knew, but perhaps she has done a magical surveillance of some sort.
Now that it has come to this, I gave up making excuses and head straight to the point.
"Itâs because they chased me up to the other side. I even took a roundabout path"
Also, I feel sorry if I were to drive back the two who had kept on chasing me that far.
Though thanks to that, Glinnis got a terrible one from me.
"Iâm not really against that matter. They are queen consorts too"
Then, Beatrice moved closer to me.
"And based on that, shouldnât I reasonable enough to be your partner? Iâm also the one who asked you first, you know?"
"Yes, you are also more than enough. However, Iâm really really tired today......"
If itâs the usual atmosphere I would have pushed her already, but the fatigue has really got me heavy today.
I succumbed to the bed just like that.
"You can do whatever you want. But I want to rest as it is......"
Iâm so weak I donât even have the power to refuse her anymore.
Seeing my worn-out figure, Beatrice put her hand on my head, then went on the bed.
"If youâre tired to that degree, then Iâll heal you from it"
She said so, giving me a smile with such gentleness that she usually doesnât show.
