My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Happy Monday!

Heres the chapter, enjoy.

Within the mountain valley, was an enormous building.

It was much larger than the Retice Kingdoms royal castle, and much calmer and more peaceful than the elven royal castle.

It was the royal castle of the usually hot-blooded beastmen, so I thought that it would be more boisterous.

This is the royal castle. Please watch your step as it is slippery.

Perhaps it was because it was built as if it was on the surface of the canal, as it was not unpleasant even though it was wet.

I looked up and sighed.

I couldnt see the highest point of the castle.

How should I say this, it was similar to a certain school of witchcraft and wizardry.

TN: reference to Hogwarts

This place, is surrounded by mountains, but if you were attacked by enemies from on top of the mountains, then wouldnt you be defenseless?

I had said that to Ria as I looked up at it after disembarking the boat, but Ria smiled and shook her head.

There is a spherical barrier around royal castle, protecting the skies above it and the ground below it, so there is no need to worry about intruders.

Ria having such a self-satisfied look on her face meant that its aGods Barrier, huh.

Making a sound of acknowledgement, I looked back up at the sky that seemed to be covered in a thin film.

If its theGods Barrier, then will it be alright?

Well then, Amelia-sama, Akira-sama, the room to have an audience with King Igsam is this way.

As it was an audience room, the place that we had been led to was a ridiculously large room.

Its the same with Retice castle, why was it necessary to have such a big room.

Wasnt it enough for it to be about as big as the schools student council room.

In fact, the only people in the audience room was, a lion beastman who seemed to be the king sitting on the throne, and a horse beastman who seemed to be a knight standing next to the throne.

Perception was also indicating that there was no one else but these two people.

In other words, including us, there were five people in this vast room.

I couldnt calm down.

Father, I have brought the elven princess Amelia Rose Quartz-sama as well as the summoned hero Akira Oda-sama.

TN: Ria is using (ogifu-sama), which means foster father here. Since its not a commonly known term and one wouldnt call ones foster father foster father, I settled for just father.

We bowed our heads as Ria bowed and said this.

My being a summoned hero was something that I myself had disclosed to Ria, so it couldnt be helped, huh.

It would be very troublesome, so I had wanted to keep it hidden as much as possible.

The king who was discussing with the knight about something, raised his head and looked over at us the moment he was called out to.

Ooh!! Sorry about that, Ria. My two guests, this way please.

He was smiling as he said that, but those eyes were examining me from head to toe.

I pretended that I wasnt aware of his gaze and approached the throne.

The knight standing next to the throne glanced at me, and snorted.

It seems that, unlike Amelia, I was not welcomed.

As Ria stood right behind the throne, King Igsam spoke.

Thanks for coming, Amelia-dono, Oda-dono.

Brightly smiling, King Igsam stood up from the throne.

I didnt know the proper etiquette when dealing with the kings of other tribes, so I imitated Amelia.

I had come because this king had a request, so I didnt feel that it was necessary to go through with formalities, but I would like to avoid the possibility that they would complain about Amelia because of my behavior.

Its been a long time, King Igsam.

It has been a while! So, have you thought about the matter from before?

When King Igsam said that, Amelia looked like she had swallowed a hundred bitter pills.

I wonder what he was talking about.

Or rather, the look on Amelias face was terrible.

Was it so unpleasant.

As I was thinking like that as if it was someone elses problem, Amelia glanced at me.

I already have Akira.

Amelia;s cheeks turned red.

Really, what was it about.

King Igsam frowned, but in a flash, it was gone and he was smiling brightly again.

I see, thats unfortunate. then, lets end the salutations here, and move on to the real issue at hand.

The moment King Igsam, who didnt look that disappointed, sat on the throne, the person who seemed to be a knight took a step forward.

Princess Amelia, this is the first time weve met. I am King Igsams imperial knight, Victor. I am pleased to make your acquaintance.

With a charming smile on his lips, he bowed to Amelia, and glanced at me.

Amelia nodded at Victor and once again looked back at King Igsam.

Due to the cold reception, a vein bulging on Victors forehead could be seen, but King Igsam started speaking, so his gaze turned towards him.

Firstly, I heard that you saved my daughter, though she was adopted, in the Brute dungeon. As the king of the country, and as her foster father, I would like to give my thanks. Thank you.

Amelia shook her head when King Igsam who was sitting on the throne lowered his head.

That matter was because I had been kidnapped by a demon. Ria was just coming to rescue me, so if anything, I am the one at fault, and the ones who saved her was not me, but Kurou and Akira.

is that so. Then, I need to thank Kurou as well.

Oi, you dont need to thank me?

He continued to ignore me.

And, there is also another matter I would like to discuss.

When he said that, King Igsam finally made eye contact with me.

At that moment, the alarm from myThreat Detectionwent off, the sound deafening.

Wasnt it a bit late.

For it to sound when the situation became impossible to avoid, what kind of skill was this.

The summoned hero Oda-dono, was it? Wont you listen to my request.

I stifled the sigh that I had unconsciously almost leaked out.
