With Patrick supporting my immobile left side, we traveled for half a day by carriage and headed to the Royal Capital. Ryuu stayed home, but Eleanora tagged along for some reason.

Upon arriving at the Royal Capital, we immediately headed to the royal palace, where we were able to meet with Ronald right away. We were brought to a room that had been cleared of others, and right away Eleanora was struggling with how to address Ronald.

“Broth— No, my mistake. Headmas— No, that’s wrong too... Who are you?”

“You don’t have to keep it a secret,” Ronald said.

“My dear brother!”

“Yes, yes. It’s been a while, Eleanora.”

Ronald was Eleanora’s older brother, as well as the former headmaster of the Royal Academy and the current king’s right hand... He was a complex man. He also knew of the truth behind the Demon Lord’s sealing, so he would be very helpful in researching the non-embellished facts regarding the first king.

After some quick greetings, I immediately jumped into the main topic. “I’m currently researching the first king. Could I take a look at the documents in the royal family’s archives?”

“Sure. I’ll take you there, so have a look at whatever you’d like.”

Wow. That only round of conversation to be settled.

I preferred stories with quick developments, but this felt a bit excessive. Surely the precious documents regarding the royal family’s ancestors were filled with things that couldn’t be shown to the public. I fell silent, expecting there to be some sort of catch, and Ronald spoke up right away.

“You can trust me. This is related to your left leg, and by the looks of it your arm as well, right? I wouldn’t allow it if it was just out of curiosity, but if you’re in some sort of trouble, I’d like to help.”

“Thank you very much. I’ll be sure to return the favor by—”

“No, no. It’s fine. I can’t accept a favor from someone who isn’t feeling well and seems to be struggling.”

I’d wanted to specify how I was going to return the favor, but he was a tenacious man. I guess this means I owe him one. I was going to have to provide an adequate favor in the future, whenever Ronald or His Majesty needed it. Ugh, I would’ve preferred he just charged me an exorbitant amount to look at the documents.

Despite my dissatisfaction, I had no choice but to agree.

“Understood. I’ll return the favor one day.”

“I might reach out to you if we’re ever in a little trouble, but you can help us out when it’s convenient for you.”

I guess it’s a small price to pay to look at texts that have never left the premises. Ronald won’t ask for anything ridiculous either. He already knows I would say no if he asked me to help the kingdom take over the world. He’ll definitely ask for a favor that toes the line between something I won’t want to do but will agree to.

It wasn’t a terrible deal. In fact, I was much more unreasonable
