Chapter 48 — The Tyrant's Legacy

​Xander, the Guild Master, appeared distressed by the King's news.​「No, that was supposed to be a baseless rumor, but—no, it can't be...」​「Count Arends, is something the matter?」 King Alberto asked.​「...A bit nervous... It's just... in the past, some adventurers in the Guild said the Tyrant Wyvern left Duke von Lancer with its legacy before it perished.」​Randell, the Pope, looked horrified.​「Wait! You don't mean to say that Draco is here because of Duke von Lancer killing that Tyrant Wyvern?!」​「Well, the story goes it asked him to as a favor from one warrior to another, and Duke Von Lancer accepted. ...Nervous chuckle... I wouldn't be surprised if he already knows of this.」​Smurken, the Minister of Finance, saw a chance for political gain.​「Well, if that's the case, why don't we have the two of them fight it out, since the Dragon King is after him?」​Randell looked at him suspiciously.​「And what do you mean by that, truly?」​「...Sinister grin... Well, since they'll duel to the death, it would be advantageous of us to attack Draco when it's weakened. ...Then some nobles agree with him...」​「...A bit pissed... And what if he doesn't agree with your plan, then what?」​「Well, we'll just have to pressure him a bit.」​「WHY YOU— ...Calms down...No. ...Chuckles... That's stupid! To apply pressure towards him is a death sentence in itself!」​「Huh?」 Smurken scoffed.​Randell turned to the Prince for confirmation.​「Prince Zakry, the curse that was in your body since birth, is it still in you?」​「Err... No, not a trace. Jay must be carrying it. ...Then all the nobles were shocked...」​「And I can testify to that, too. Since the level of greed Duke Von Lancer has when it comes to his family is an bottomless abyss.」 Randell revealed.​Smurken sneered, clinging to his prejudice.​「Tch! So what? His so-called daughters are just slaves he got at the end of the day!」​「Well, it's also because those "so-called daughters" of his are the main reason why he doesn't give in to the being of the Curse of Greed. So if we harm them or anyone who's part of his family, Draco will be the last of our worries. ...Then some other nobles agreed with him...」 Randell warned.​「The Pope is right! We can't afford two disaster-level beings rampaging against our Kingdom!」 King Alberto concluded.​【Damn that Randell! And I was so close to gettin' it!】 Smurken thought, frustrated.
​A figure walked into the throne room, dressed only in a simple robe.​「Err, so y'all are busy?」 Jay asked.​Alia, the Queen, gasped in horror at his attire.​「Jay Zakry Lancer! Explain yourself! Why are you so underdressed?!」​「...Nervous... Err... Mom, you might not like it, but OK...」​「Wow, he buckled quick!」 Zakry mocked.​「Shut up! ...Calms down... But M— I mean, Ur Highness, it involves my potential offspring.」​「Oh! ...Giggles... I see. Well, at least one of my sons have ascended to an adult!」 Alia said, suddenly pleased.​「...Looks at Zakry with a mocking grin... Ha!」​「Don't even start! But why are you here?」 Zakry asked.​「Well, I was lookin' for Xan— ay, Guild Master, how are you doing on this fine day?」​「...Sighs... Not now, Jay. What do you want?」​「Well, it's Liani. ...Clears his throat... Errrm...」​「Yes, you have my blessing to marry her.」 Xander stated instantly.​「...Confused... Huh? Just like that?」​「...Looks at him seriously... There a problem?」​「No, no. It's just I've been blowing the back outta her and the other four back at my house. I thought you'd be a bit more mad about it.」 Jay confessed brutally.​Xander looked to Zakry for translation.​「...Sighs... He said he has had Lady Liani in every possible position her body could endure. That's including the Saintess, Iris, Saalin, and Rina.」​Xander and Randell stared at Jay with menacing expressions.​「Err, ahem. In my defense, I didn't know sheltered girls would have that effect on me as a man!」 Jay said defensively.​「But still, three days! That's a lot of sex for one man to handle!」 Zakry noted, impressed.​「Err, like I said, I didn't know their sheltered nature would awaken my primal urges like that! I always thought it was married women, women with strong wills, women who detest men, and the experienced women in a brothel.」 Jay explained, digging himself deeper.​「Wow, that's terribly detailed.」 Zakry remarked.​「Well, there's some of them breakin' down and being primal in that moment, then realizing they went against themselves—that makes me act up. Buh that's not what I'm here for.」 Jay concluded, finally ready to get to the point.
