Even though the ceremony was over, there were still things that had to be done in the Nergiante Kingdom.
Just like how the Kite Kingdom needed ti to reorganize themselves after taking over the three kingdoms, the new Nergiante Kingdom also needed ti to organize themselves after taking over the Antwerp Kingdom.
So there was a lot of work to do.
As our allies, it was only natural that we helped the Nergiante Kingdom organize themselves.
But at the sa ti, I knew that the pri minister and chancellor were helping them so they could lay down so foundations in the future Nergiante Kingdom.
They wanted to use these foundations to have so control in the Nergiante Kingdom if it ca down to it. They were used to planning out everything, so they just wanted that option if it ca to it.
King Nergiante also knew this, but he didn't say anything as he allowed them to do what they wanted.
As for , I didn't actually have any part in this.
This kind of stuff was in their domain of expertise, so it was best to leave this matter to them. If I were to get involved, there was no doubt that I would make plenty of mistakes that they would have to fix.
So it was best just to leave this matter to them.
What I had to do was...nothing.
During the ti that I had been away, the others had worked out a system where I wouldn't have to be involved at all. In a way, because of my frequent absences, I had been downgraded to a figurehead king.
The ones that now held all of the power were Rose and Angela.
If they didn't need , it would have been easy for them to take over as the rulers of the country.
But it wasn't as if I was worried that they would throw away.
We were married and in love after all, they were even about to have my children.
And it was because they were pregnant and about to have my children that I was able to get so free ti, that I wasn't always tired. After all, it wasn't as if they could continue night ti activities while they were pregnant.
It had been so ti and Rose's stomach was already growing bigger.
It seed like it would only be a matter of ti before the baby ca.
I was worried about her, but she insisted that she was fine and that she would continue with her duties.
When she said it this strongly, it really was hard for to say anything.
After all, I was the kind of scumbag husband who went out and left his wife alone at ho most of the ti. Though the things that I did were for the benefit of our kingdom, it was a fact that I left them all on their own at ho most of the ti.
So it wasn't as if there was anything that I could really say that would be convincing enough.
Though the one thing that I insisted on was having Cecilia stay to guard Rose.
She was also starting to show signs of being pregnant, so I couldn't have her running around as part of the royal guard. But at the sa ti, it wasn't as if she would accept being ordered to stay still that easily, so all I could do was give the order for her to stay with Rose and guard her.
That would keep her in a safe place at the very least.
But even though I had more free ti, I couldn't spend it with my wives like I wanted to.
That was because there was a guest that followed back to the Kite Kingdom.
It was the group from the Holy Empire.
The priest had followed all the way back to the Kite Kingdom just so I wouldn't be able to run away. Though in the first place, it wasn't as if there was anywhere for to run since I was the king of the Kite Kingdom.
From ti to ti, he would co looking for to discuss the matter of heading to the Holy Empire.
This was one of those tis.
"Your majesty, I have sothing to show you today." The priest said as soon as he found .
On other days, he would just talk about a few random things with before slipping in a small reminder to head to the Holy Empire soon.
But today was different as he said that he had sothing to show to .
Of course, it wasn't as if I could just reject eting him, so I had no choice but to et him.
Though when he said that there was sothing that he wanted to show , I couldn't help being curious what this was.
He hadn't done anything like this before, so it was certainly strange and provoked a bit of interest in . I couldn't help wondering just what kind of item he would have to show .
Once we were seated, he took out a small thing that was wrapped up in a cloth that he put on the table in front of us.
After putting it down on the table, he slowly pulled aside the cloth to reveal what was inside.
What appeared was a ring, but it didn't seem like a special ring.
It seed to be a normal ring that was made of tal, but it surprised since I didn't recognize the tal that it was made of. Since I had spent a decent amount of ti with the dwarves, I could say that I had a good idea of different kinds of tals.
For to not recognize what kind of tal this was, it had to be so kind of special tal.
"This is...?" I slowly asked before looking at the priest, but he didn't say anything in response as he gestured at the ring, as if he wanted to take a look at it.
I raised a brow, but I still reached out to touch the ring.
The mont that my hand made contact with the ring, there was a burst of light that appeared around it.
At the sa ti, the Mark of God appeared on my hand.
