Chương 207: Chapter 190. Awkward Reporting

" Hm? So that King Leonard finally wants to introduce himself, aye? Warrick, count me in! I want to see what he's like!"" We'll have to check with him to see if it's fine to bring you, Alan." Warrick and King Alan talked to each other after Aqua finished explaining the contents of the letter. it was pretty much what I expected, King Leonard and Queen Crystal wanted to meet Warrick, Aqua and the King and Queen of Alfheim to discuss a few things regarding the Elves and their recent activity.

It seems that they want Warrick and Aqua to work as mediators between the Dark Elves and the Elves? But do the Elves even like Demons that much? I mean... I hear that some Demons trade with them in Alfheim, but is that a good enough indicator that the Elves wouldn't try something? I should share my thoughts about this when King Alan and Princess Alice aren't here. Maybe when I return next time to report on my progress in Paradise..." With that, I'll start to head back, I think..." I went to sit up from my chair."

Wait, Marquess Matthew, why leave now? The situation just got interesting!" King Alan tried to keep me here." Well, I doubt a Marquess can truly advise a King on how to do a Summit properly." But didn't you meet King Leonard and Queen Crystal?" Dammit! Princess Alice connected the dots! Don't you dislike me and want me to leave as soon as possible!?" Princess Alice has a point, Matthew. Besides, you were thinking about something right now, weren't you?" Aqua's giggling to herself after setting me up.

She's finding this funny! With all of them looking at me, it made it hard to disagree and oppose them. I sighed and then began to speak to the 2 Kings and Queen in the room." I just find it weird that King Leonard and Queen Crystal have faith in you both being able to mediate for them with the Elves. Judging by what the Elves have done, I don't think they hold much respect for the Dark Elves or us... I mean Demons. So, I'm just wondering how this will work. Let alone the fact that you all have never even met.

Who's to say that you'll even work well together?" I glance at King Alan who appears to be looking at me as I spoke." Again, this is all from the mind of a Marquess, I can only hope that Kings and Queens take a Marquess's opinions with a grain of salt." It's so annoying having to talk like this with Warrick and Aqua." hehehe." And she's still giggling under her breath! I swear I'm going to get her back for this!" Yes, I thought as much as well.

That's why I plan on having Aqua and I meet them first before agreeing to a Summit. I plan on having you there as well to work as a mediator, Matthew." Warrick agreed with me. Then he let me know about his immediate plans." So, do you want me to deliver a letter to them now?"" Huh? No, I'll have someone else do it. You missed 6 weeks of developing your Territory, right? You need to be able to make up the time, right?"" Yes. I do have some projects I need to attend to."

"How does it sound if you let us use Paradise as the location of the Summit?" If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation." As long as it's before the winter solstice... It should be fine?"" Why the winter solstice?" Princess Alice asked a question in-between Warrick and I's conversation. I turned to look at her and she seemed genuinely curious about the date." Because, Princess Alice.

I believe I'll be too busy to host a Summit for around 6 months after the winter solstice. I'll be using a certain opportunity as a free advertisement and the opening shot for my food business."" You're finally going to reveal it, huh?" Warrick sounded happy for me. He knows how hard we've all been working back in Paradise. And with the time we have left... Around 3 months or so, we'll be able to have enough surplus to handle any orders we'll receive after the party." You'll be too busy?"

Princess Alice didn't seem to understand. Well, I can't blame her. Everyone sounded amazed that I even thought about using Asura Cattle milk to make food. Even more so when I presented ice cream to them." If everything goes how I think it will, I think I won't even be able to leave my home for around 2 months? Things are definitely going to be busy for us."" Just make sure not to forget to give us priority on the first order."" Oh, before the solstice, we'll be sending you around a 6-month supply.

Or at least, I think it will last 6 months?"" What kind of a Businessman doesn't know how big of an order to expect?" Princess Alice huffed under her breath and whispered something as she looked away from me." Well, to be honest, I'm really new at this. It took a while to even narrow down a price range for my products."" What even are these products?" Now King Alan was interested in it. No, wait. He was always interested, he just wanted to see how I would react to Princess Alice's complaints.

Maybe he has a keener eye than I thought? Originally, I was wondering how this guy became a King. He acted more like a Commander or something similar for an Army." My products are..." I looked around the room... Am I really about to tell someone else about how I came to Gaia?" Don't worry, Matthew. It should be fine. Occasionally Bestia works with Promethia, but it's only during certain military ventures that benefits both sides. Hell, I don't even thing Alan and Promethia's King have even met face to face.""

We did once. But that was because our sons got into an argument, and we had to prevent our Armies from trying to kill each other. I tell ya, Humans are so petulant sometimes." King Alan shrugged his shoulders as he spoke." Okay then." I started recounting the needed information to understand why I made dairy products here in Gaia." Wow, you've made your way in a completely foreign world, and you've been able to find Love and a Family? You're a good guy, aren't ya Matthew?" / SNIFF!

/" I just did what I thought was right. Also, my name isn't "Matthew"... It's John."" But, you were basically kidnapped and asked to do something. Sure, Warrick and Aqua wouldn't have punished you... At least I think, but you went ahead and not only healed Little Sarah, but Warrick as well! As a Friend of the Family, thanks for that. It means a lot. Sarah is something like a Niece to me."" Well... Ah... You're welcome?" King Alan started to cry a little. I guess he really does care about my story...

Princess Alice didn't seem to have any reactions to the recounting of my life." Psh.... Told you he would start crying.... Big softy..." Warrick began to laugh along with Aqua. I'm starting to see where all of her giggling came from. They were waiting for the perfect time for this." Ah shut up, Warrick! So, what!? I have a delicate heart! It's not bad to have emotion!"" Hahaha!" Warrick was at the point of cackling now. After he calmed down, he began to speak again." Woo! Sorry about that, Alan!

We just couldn't help but try something like that! How about I make that up to you? How would you and Alice like it if you got to try his product? We have some ice cream from the last time he arrived here."" What even is it?" Alan was interested so I decided to explain it to him." It's a cold dessert. It's a sweet type of food. It has 3 flavors for now. Vanilla Chocolate and Strawberry."" It's sweet?" Princess Alice's animal ears perked up at the mention of "sweet". Maybe I can change my image with this?"

Yes, it's sweet. Not like candy, but in a similar wheelhouse. It's hard to explain since no one here in Gaia has ever tried milk products before. But it seems to be a big hit whenever someone tries it. Even King Leonard and Queen Crystal enjoyed it. So, I think there's a chance for it to suit your tastes!"" I'd... Like to try it... If that's okay?" What is this!? She's acting.... Bashful! This is my moment! To make her not scowl or glare at me!" By all means." I smiled warmly at her." I want to try it too!

If we like it, can we get a Business Deal too?"" Sure, I don't mind." King Alan spoke excitedly after I gave permission to Princess Alice to try the ice cream. I looked at Warrick and Aqua and then Aqua asked Trish to grab some ice cream for King Alan and Princess Alice. Time seemed to stand still as we all waited for Trish to come back with the dishes in hand. Warrick and King Alan had small talk as Aqua spoke to Princess Alice about her training as a Warrior. And I was left as the odd man out...

Maybe I should train a bit harder so I can bring Sarah and Anna with me next time?
