“What? Is that…is that true?”
“Yes, yes, Your Majesty the King!”
Hearing the news of the unexpected visitor, and the face of King Mohichi began to turn bright for the first time in a while.
“I can’t believe it. Does that mean he really came to meet us? Bahamut of the Beden Merchant Company?”
“It is true, Your Majesty! They are waiting to have an audience with Your Majesty.”
“Go on, hurry! Treat them with the same level of courtesy as a Duke.”
“As you wish, Your Majesty!”
The chief chamberlain urgently left to deliver the king’s order.
Watching that scene, King Mohichi began to feel that the hope that seemed to be extinguished was finally being revived.
The Continental Colossus, Bahamut Fernandez, the man who owned the Beden Merchant Company. His great reputation was already well known to the king through the series of events that occurred in relation to the Eastern Trade at Benessa.
Rumors about his achievements had already spread across the continent, and above all, the declaration of war by the Rose Emperess, which could be said to be the beginning of this incident, also began at that place.
As such, the fact that Bahamut, who was one of the people who could affect the current situation of the continent, came to meet him, not the Rose Empress, was obviously a big boon for King Mohichi.
“Bahamut Fernandez, the owner of the Beden Merchant Company, greets King Mohichi of Hangury.”
Bahamut and his companions respectfully bowed to the king sitting on the throne.
Accordingly, King Mohichi welcomed them with sincere joy.
“Mister Bahamut, I’ve heard about you quite a lot, and I’m well aware of your achievements.”
“It is truly a great honor to know that Your Majesty knows of such a simple merchant.”
Bahamut lowered his head and acted with humility. Looking at his behavior the king nodded his head with a satisfied expression and then spoke with a face full of expectation.
“I am really grateful that you came all the way here, but now I want to know for what purpose the owner of the Beden Merchant Company wishes to meet me. Tell me.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Originally, there would have been an episode of flattery and introduction, but the current king could not afford to do so. He was standing at the crossroads of whether or not to form an alliance with the Sakiel Knights, and take the risk of breaking the peace treaty.
For him, the person called Bahamut, who visited at such a difficult time, was a blessing from the heavens.
And…seeing the king’s expected reaction, Bahamut began to speak in a calm voice.
“First of all, please tell the people around you to leave, Your Majesty.”

“What? Bahamut Fernandez?”
“Yes that’s right. It is said that he just returned from an audience with the king.”
Hearing the unexpected news, a look of uneasiness began to appear on the man’s face.
“That is not a good news. Bahamut is a man who made a huge amount of money through the Eastern Trade, and if he intervenes in this matter, it can have an effect on the entire situation. So what did they talk about?”
“That’s… I’m sorry. Before the talk could begin, the man called Bahamut asked for everyone to leave… ”
“Hmm…he is really thorough as expected.”
While feeling regretful, the man immediately took action, deciding that he had to hurry things up more than he had originally expected.
‘If that Bahamut intervenes in some way in this situation, there is a possibility that all the plans we have made so far could be ruined.’
“We have to act. I will write a letter right away, so please deliver it.”
“All right.”
With those words, the person quickly grabbed a pen and paper, then began to write his orders.
***
After the audience with the king, Bahamut arrived at the royal castle’s private room with Ophelia.
Although the overall state of the kingdom wasn’t good, nonetheless, as the royal castle of the Kingdom of Hangury, which has existed for hundreds of years, the interior was quite splendid.
“Hhmm…anyway, with this, I’m relieved.”
“You worked hard, Master.”
The meeting with the king went as Bahamut had hoped, and he succeeded in getting the result he wanted.
The first hurdle in carrying out his plan was done without any problems. However, there were still many scattered problems that remained to be solved.
‘Still, since Ophelia is there, there won’t be any big problems…but I must never be careless.’
To explain what Bahamut was doing at the moment, it was like trying to put teeth on a toothless lion that was being toyed with by hyenas.
To do that, a massive amount of funds and efforts were required, and furthermore, those hyenas were more than likely to react violently due to Bahamut’s actions and try to stop him somehow.
