Once that trade deal was settled, it was ti for us to depart.
Since we had handled it so quickly, it was still morning when we finished and there was plenty of ti to depart.
The rman Queen had gotten what she wanted, so there were no objections from her. But from the way that she was looking at the Glowing Seaweed on the beach and at the rmaid royal guards, I could guess what she was thinking.
When she was distracted by this and as we were heading to the wyverns, the rman King leaned in to ask, "The high end product, what would it take to make that?"
If it was before, then I wouldn't have been able to answer this question.
But it was different now.
The recipes for the high end products had unlocked when I unlocked three products.
That ant that if I wanted, I could even make another one of The Penetrator.
Though when seeing the materials needed to make one of them, I really couldn't help shedding a tear.
If it was anyone else, they wouldn't be able to recognize these things since they were high grade materials. These could be considered legendary materials in this world, so they were very hard to obtain.
Most normal people would have never even heard of them.
It was only because I had my knowledge from the ga that I knew what these things were in the first place.
Since he was asking, then I had no reason not to tell him.
Especially since I was afraid that he might ask for so more of it.
If he knew how expensive and rare this was, then it might make him too guilty to ask for more of it.
When I was done listing the ingredients, the rman King was looking at with shock. His expression changed a few tis, but eventually he looked at as if he was asking if this was real or not.
I just gave a simple nod in return.
There was a complicated look that appeared on his face before he said, "Thank you for not telling her."
I just gave another simple nod in return.
I wanted my relationship with the rman Empire to be a good one, so of course I wouldn't do anything that would put them on the spot.
Though there was a part of that was worried about sothing...
"Don't even think about touching my daughter." The rman King suddenly said.
I let out an inner sigh of relief when I heard this.
That was what I was worried about.
He might have felt guilty enough to push his daughter onto , but it seed like he was still
a doting parent as ever. It didn't seem like he wouldn't crumple that easily, which was a good thing for .
I had no intention of going after Ariel after all.
rmaids were beautiful, but I wasn't interested in going after one that had so much baggage.
There was no doubt that I would be caught up in not just the politics of the rman Empire, but also the Tide Empire if I were to get involved with her. After all, she was a person that was important to both empires.
If I were to get involved in any way...
After this small interlude, we got onto our wyverns and headed off.
Though it was awkward with how the rman Empire royal family kept shouting at each other to say their goodbyes. Even Ariel was waving and crying as she said goodbye to her parents.
But thinking about it, it wasn't strange.
After all, it had been a long ti since she had been ho,
It was unknown how long it took her to co to our kingdom from the ocean in the first place, so it was possible that she had been away from ho for a long ti. Then because of the contract that she made, she wasn't able to return ho until it was broken, which ant that she was spending even more ti away from ho.
So it was understandable that she was acting this way.
But eventually we left the range of the island and headed back.
As soon as we were out of range, I looked at Ariel and was about to say sothing.
Only...I found that it was unnecessary.
It only took a second for her to recover from her stupor and reveal a smile again as she happily rode on the back of a wyvern.
With how quickly she recovered, it didn't seem like she had been bothered by this at all. It was as if she had been faking for the sake of her parents...
Still, it was better if she was like this rather than actually sad.
No, I could tell that she was just enduring it.
It seed that she was quite the strong girl.
...
A few days later, we arrived back in the forr territories of the Midra Kingdom.
This was where the pri minister was since he still hadn't finished organizing the takeover,
so this was where we agreed to return.
When we arrived, they imdiately ca out to see us.
The first thing that the pri minister asked was, "Well, how is it?"
I said with a simple nod, "It's taken care of."
The regent let out a sigh of relief before revealing a smile, but the pri minister didn't say a
thing as he narrowed his eyes to look at .
After looking at for a bit, he said, "This isn't it, is it? What else happened?"
There was a faint smile that appeared on my face when I heard this.
I looked at the pri minister and said, "You always could read . You're right, this isn't it."
The pri minister knitted his brows, but he didn't say anything as he waited for to say
what I had to say.
"They'll be visiting us soon." I said with the sa smile.
"Huh?" The pri minister and the regent revealed shocked looks.
