Local Netizen Elf’s Life In Another World

Case 24: Imperial family.

''First, allow me to introduce my children. Here is Jeremy, currently the Crown Prince.'' James begins, looking at the man in his early twenties, despite having short blazing red hair and orange eyes, he has an amicable impression, maybe because of his relaxed and friendly face. 

''Nice to meet you, I'm Jeremy Alistaire Aragon.'' Jeremy smiles and nods his head.

''Next is William, the second prince.'' James moves his gaze to the somewhat fierce and arrogant-looking dude, he has the same features as his brother, but he also has an annoying grin on his face. Something tells me that I would not get along well with this dude.

''I'm Willaim Alistaire Aragon, it's a blessing to be able to meet such beautiful ladies here.'' And he's cheesy as well, crap.

''Lastly, this is the first princess, Christina Alistaire Aragon.'' He sets his gaze on a young woman with a confident expression, again, pretty much the same eye and hair colors as the others. She has a pair of earrings made from red gemstones, probably rubies, and another big one on her chest as well.

''My name is Christina Alistaire Aragon, I hope we can get along.'' Christina says, smiling brightly. This one seems good. Her eyes looking at me are kinda weird though.

Overall, they're all pretty-looking people, but I'm surprised by how they can give such different impressions when they all have the same features. Also, I don't like the Second Prince.

''Well, Christina is just here to observe and gain experience, so she won't participate in our negotiation this time.'' James adds.

Fair enough.

''My, we're the same here, Christina. We're here to learn as well, so don't mind us.'' I reply, smiling lightly.

Mom said that when you don't know how to deal with nobles, just make random bullshit comments and laugh everything off. Well, she didn't say the bullshit part, but that's the idea.

''Oh, then, do I have the honor to be your guide for a palace tour after this?'' Christina smiles even wider.

''I'll leave it to you then.'' I smile back. A tour is not a bad idea.

''I'm glad you guys are getting along well. Now, onto our main objective today.'' James turns to Julius.

''Right, what would you like to begin with, Your Majesty?'' Says Julius.

Well, they have been talking about trades for a while now, the gist of it is that we're importing things like grains, sugar, fabrics, leathers, etc.

And they want to buy fruits, tree saplings, wood, and of course, steel and/or weapons from us.

I'm just sitting here enjoying the tea that a maid bought earlier. Obviously.

''...Like we said before, to consolidate our position as a neutral country, we will not sell any steel or weapons to any party outside our own country during this period, I hope you can understand this, Your Majesty.'' Julius declares firmly.

''...I don't understand, as you already know, we don't plan to show any hostility towards your kingdom, in fact, we have never shown any.'' James frowns lightly.

This one is true, almost no country has openly declared war on our kingdom before. Mostly because we have a very high percentage of mana users, and we just have more experienced fighters. Our territory is not that big either, combined with other things, it's just not worth the effort if they are trying to invade us.

''In regards to that, I have a message from our king, Louis Everwood. He said that he has understood your ambition to unite all human countries into one, but in this situation where the demon forces are getting increasingly more formidable, he wants all of us to focus on fighting the demons first.''

''There's a high chance of a demon king appearing soon, Your Majesty. As you know, it is almost time.'' Julius states.

Well, the Empire just completed the invasion on Kaspia a year before, and now they want to unite all human countries, that's like, six more countries in total, and they think they can actually do all of that before the demon king claps our asses? What a joke.

''...''

The emperor leans back, holds his head, and closes his eyes, frowning.

'''' ... '''' 

knock knock

''Come in.'' 

''Excuse me, we had prepared some food for the ladies, please enjoy.'' The old man Edward brings in a tray, puts three plates on the table before us, and leaves.

Finally, food. Let's fucking go.

And it's a classic English breakfast as well, I can absolutely demolish this one.

Ignoring the uncomfortable and awkward silence, I pour some more tea into my cup with telekinesis, create some ice cubes, and throw them into the cup as well. I love cold drinks, they're addicting.

It's time to dig in.

Mhmm~ The eggs and bacon are nicely done, with good seasoning, how about the sausages...? Oh, delicious as well. This is good.

'''' ... ''''

The silence continues for a while before the three of us finish the breakfast.

Wiping my lips with my handkerchief, I set down the plate, acting like nothing happened. Actually, all three of us do that.

''...Well, I don't think we can press you more on this matter.'' The emperor sighs. ''I'll give up the steel and weapons part, but let's keep all the other trades, do you agree?''

''Absolutely, Your Majesty, it is a pleasure doing business with you.'' Julius smiles back.

''Alright then, would you like to follow me for us to discuss more details and finish the contracts?''

''It would be my honor.''

''Jeremy, you follow me, William and Christina can stay to entertain our guests.''

''Yes, father.'' Jeremy replies, standing up to leave the room with his father.

''Please have a fun time here, Your Highness and my ladies. I don't think there's anything more to watch.'' Julius also stands up and speaks to us.

''Alright, have Adam go with you.'' I say to him and Adam behind us.

Some of the guards on the other side leave the room with the Emperor and the Crown Prince as well.

So now in this room, there's me, my girlfriends, our guards, Christina, the annoying dude William, and their guards.

''Well, I think it's fate that we met here, how about an outing with me in the capital, lady Sylvia?'' The greasy goober speaks first.

Wait, is he hitting on me? Oh, fuck off.

''I'm sorry, but we promised to have Christina here guiding us through the palace already.'' I refuse him firmly.

''Let's go, Christina?'' I stand up, walk to Christina on the other side, and grab her hand, at the same time signal with my eyes to my girlfriends to get out as well.

So now we're outside the room, walking. The dude is left alone inside.

''...Is he always like that?'' Liana asks.

''Hah... Yes, he is very flirtatious all the time. You guys can ignore him.'' Christina replies.

Turns out she also dislikes that dude.

''More than that, let's do a walk through our palace. It should be enough time before lunch.'' 

''Sure.'' I smile.

Let's go explore.

But why is she still holding my hand and not letting go... Can't you see my girlfriends frowning already, hey.

''Um, Christina?''

''Hm?''

I look at our hands intertwined together.

''Ah, sorry, I forgot.'' Christina releases my hand.

You usually don't forget that though...

Taking the opportunity, my girlfriends instantly grab both of my hands. Seeing that, Christina narrows her eyes a bit before she turns away and begins walking again.

What is this, is she interested in me?

''Let's go to the garden first.''

So we got a pretty thorough tour of the palace, because it was so big, I decided halfway to just fly all of us through the journey, Christina was surprised by this, and also she likes to fly, apparently.

There's a total of six big mansions besides the very tall one at the center. Three of them are for the royal children, one for the attendants, and two for guests, the Emperor lives in the main building, which is just the tall one.

There's no Empress, by the way, she died a decade ago for some reason. I'm not very interested.

The ball tonight will be hosted in the main building, I can already see a lot of cars going in from all directions already. Probably nobles.

But now, it's lunchtime. Christina invited us to eat at her mansion, we could not see any reason to refuse, so here we are.

''Mhmm...''

As expected of imperial chefs, they have very good skills, and they actually have Eastern food here as well, we got egg fried rice with chicken for lunch.

As I just finished the meal, Christina speaks up: ''We have ice cream here, do you guys want it for dessert?'' She says, smiling.

''Sure~ Thanks a lot.'' What a nice girl.

A little while later, a maid brings in a plastic box with eight cylinder popsicles and ice inside. So they have these kinds of ice creams as well, huh.

Let's see, I'll go for this vanilla-looking one first.

slurp slurp

I'm a fan of sucking rather than biting, biting doesn't get you much flavor.

As I'm giving the popsicle a blowjob, almost getting a drop on my boobs, I suddenly see Christina looking at me contently, her eyes curving up, her cheeks a bit rosy.

...No way that was her plan, right?
