551 CH 511: I TRUST THEM

“Your Majesty, you have been as magnificent as always.”

As always, Clara sucked up to him like he was the coming of god on earth with her eyes shining like jewels.

The meeting today had been very tense as it was the first time Sol had clearly and so openly acted against them.

Until now, he had only given subtle threats and warnings of possible punishment. But now he had clearly taken out the big gun.

Sol was not joking around. He was on the eve of creating a new world and for that, he needed to have people he could believe take the mantle.

This was also why this war could not be fought with him alone. Until the day he became a demigod, Sol would have a very limited reach about what he could do alone.

Even his desire to take over the mortal world was only a theory. He needed more information from Anubis in order to make a proper plan.

All in all, he needed competent people who would take control of the different places he conquered.

“Many of the nobles are useless. Furthermore, they are too weak. Having witches take more power will be useful.”

Obviously, not all the witches were worthy of his trust either. But he was sure Ambrosia could select a group of very efficient witches who would get the job done and not disappoint him.

“How is the situation with the MECHA?”

“Thanks to the duchess, the efficiency of Miss Theresa increased tremendously. We currently have around 25 complete armor, Miss Kali decided to name it MKA Ve 1.0 or simply MK 1.”

“Let me guess. Magical Knight Armor.”

“Indeed. She said and I quote, ‘It sounds cool.’”

‘It does sound cool.’

Sol cleared his throat a little. He knew that some of his tastes could be a little childish but he didn’t care. He has always been a child at heart.

“Very well. Did you choose the knight that will have the honor of being the first Magic Knight?”

She nodded and gave him a list. “In order to experiment on the efficacy we also selected a few Beastkins and dwarves from the army but the main ones are humans.”

This was a slight form of discrimination in the way she phrased this but Sol simply shrugged,

“The armor has been mainly created for humans to surpass their frail body but I guess in the hands of over races, the result would be even better.”

10 times 10 and 10 times 100 were obviously different situations. If this worked, the armor would be even stronger when used by entities like Werebeast.

“I guess other countries are going to be crazy about this technology.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

This might be quite fun to see them search for how to obtain it.

“Make sure the dwarves don’t manage to have any legal claim. In this matter.”

The dungeons belonged to the previous Dwarf King, but it was also in the land of Lustburg. This made for a very interesting situation.

If this was in his previous world, such a situation would give birth to a very problematic lawsuit that would most likely last for years.

Here? He simply needed to have the biggest fist. The only problem was that Lustbug was too dependent on Greed Dike when it came to weapons and other such craftsmanship.

‘Something to think about later.’

“By the way, I do not see Milia nor Setsuna and Lilin anywhere. What is happening?”

He had been quite surprised about the absence of those three. After all, war was finally decided and the hostility would truly begin. He had to start the deployment and organize a meeting with Athena and Ares.

‘I wanted to become friends with Ares.’

Sadly, things were a little complicated now.

Sol mused for a while before finding something strange. Usually, when he asked something, Clara would always answer promptly. But he had yet to hear an answer to his earlier question.

“Clara?”

“Well… *Ahem*”

Clara coughed a little before finally answering, “All ladies should be currently in the church of Castitas.”

“Hum. Why is it so?”

Clara gave him a weird look as she held her documents against her chest,

“It seems like. The ladies wish to congratulate Miss Medea for becoming your fiance.”

“Oh…” It took a moment for it to click in his mind. But finally, “Ohhhh…”

He was speechless.

He had been so busy while organizing the matter about the incoming war directly after his return that he had forgotten a very very important matter.

‘She will be alright, right?’

Sol was a little worried. He was self-aware enough to know that the women around were…Let’s say a little dangerous and quirky.

‘Should I go take a look?’

Obviously, there was no way anything would happen to Medea. She was a King rank and had her sisters with her. But was it exactly because of this? Sol realized that the fact he thought nothing would happen to her only because she was strong was a problem in itself.

Though I have nothing to reproach myself.

While Milia was the first woman he had a physical relationship with, Medea was the first woman he openly declared his love to and she had always been his first love.

This was something he had never hidden from any of them as he always thought honesty was one of the best ways to have a healthy harem and avoid problems.

‘Very well.’

Sol nodded, “Okay, let’s continue. I wish to start the hostility in earnest tomorrow. The garrison in the frontier should be ready. Also, prepare the Nightmare horses and Wyvern.”

“Ah…”

Clara seemed quite confused by the way he acted, “Your Highness. Are you not worried?”

Sol stopped for a moment. Thinking deeply about it, weighing everything before finally answering.

“For an instant I was. But now I am not.”

She became curious. Clara knew that this Tower was filled with crazy women who had a few screws loose. Why was he not worried?

“Why? Simply because I know they will never do anything intentionally to hurt me.”

He trusted them. That was all.

Still, he hoped nothing big would happen.
