Sharing a Bed

Some time after the man in butler’s attire had left, there was a knock at the door.

I called for them to enter, and just as I’d suspected, it was Timona. He’d barely finished shutting the door behind him before he smoothly turned the movement into a flat-out prostration on the floor.

“To my eternal disgrace, I have allowed an assassin to reach Your Majesty’s person. There is no apology I can offer. Please, give me the order and I shall cut myself to ribbons upon my own blade. I beg of you.”

Wow, as apologies went, that was pretty graphic. Wait, he wasn’t being serious, was he?

“And who would clean up the odd-looking corpse you left behind...? There’s no need for apologies. It’s unreasonable to expect you could’ve done anything against such a skilled mage.”

In the first place, spatial manipulation was a just plain unfair ability. I was pretty envious, since spatial magic was beyond me. I’d seen no success by picturing it like how it worked in games, so I was fairly sure I either needed more theoretical knowledge or a more detailed mental image.

As Timona’s liege lord, you could argue that it behooved me to reprimand him, but in this case doing so didn’t feel fair.

Truth be told, if the assassin had come while I was sleeping, I would’ve been a sitting duck. Wait, no, in that case, Timona would’ve been on night watch. I had little doubt he would’ve given his all to defend me, so, yeah, there really was no need to criticize him.

“Still...the whole thing’s left me pretty beat.” I’d just fought for my life. Sure, I was physically tired, but it was the mental exhaustion that was really hitting me right now.

“Shall I call Lady Rosaria over?”

“What? How does that follow? Ah, incidentally, there was a short time between that man leaving and you entering. Was this room more isolated than I thought?”

“No. I couldn’t suppress my anger, so I kicked him.”

He managed to catch an escaping spatial mage and land a kick on him? I doubted even I could pull that off.

Wait, didn’t I promise the assassin that I’d let him get away? This isn’t going to come back to bite me later, is it? Eh, nah. Technically, I never promised that someone else wouldn’t do anything, so I’m probably fine. Yeah. Innocent as a lamb.

“So, can you update me on the state of the front line?”

“Of course, Your Majesty. I have a report ready on the conflict at the Teyanave Confederation border.”

＊＊＊

Our “official” reason for this stretch of the tour was to observe our front line against the Teyanave Confederation, to make sure that we were actually fighting the enemy nation. Wait, no, from the Empire’s point of view, I supposed the Confederation was better described as a rebel element.

Anyway, that was why the Chancellor and such had gone to the front line themselves: to dress things up so they could trick me into thinking a real war was going on.

After all, the truth was that there was barely any fighting at all.
