Chapter 2: A New Stage

Warm sunlight streamed into the room from outside the window. It was a calm and gentle day, as if yesterday’s stormy weather had been nothing more than a lie. The weather seemed like the god of light Meneos was trying to make up for his recent foul mood. Truly, if one could lie down in the grass, read a book, and enjoy a well-prepared meal, it would undoubtedly be the most elegant and delightful of times. No matter how nice the weather, not everyone could bask in its blessings. More people might not have enjoyed such blessings than those who could. Come rain or shine, unfortunate individuals could not rest and had to fulfill their duties. One chamber of the fortress that stood as the heart of the southern region of the Kingdom of Rhoadseria, the fortress city of Heraklion, had such an unfortunate soul.

Ryoma Mikoshiba glanced at the blue sky visible through the room’s window and clicked his tongue.

It’s like yesterday’s storm was just a lie, thought Ryoma.

As the saying “calm after the storm” went, good weather often followed a day of rough weather. But even understanding that, it was human nature to find it hard to accept.

That damn god keeps finding ways to grate on my nerves even now, he mused. Perhaps it was a state of mind akin to the saying, “If you hate the priest, you’ll hate even his robes.” Seriously, the weather is perfect for a nap. Yet here I am, dressed in formal attire, forced to endure stiff, tedious negotiations.

For a brief moment, such thoughts flitted through Ryoma Mikoshiba’s mind. Lounging under the shade of a tree, nibbling on sandwiches prepared by the Malfist sisters, would undoubtedly relieve his daily fatigue and stress. He bore the heavy responsibility of the nation’s fate on his shoulders, so such a moment would be an irreplaceable bliss. In the end, that was nothing more than a fleeting, hollow fantasy. No matter how much authority Ryoma wielded, there was no way he could request a postponement of the meeting simply because of the weather. Still, it wasn’t something he could complain about.

After all, the negotiations between the Mikoshiba Grand Duchy and the Manibhadra tribe were about to begin in earnest. One could not casually cancel such an important discussion.

If I were to do such a thing, the already difficult negotiations would become even more troublesome.

That possibility would render the trouble Ryoma had gone to dressing in a Rhoadserian noble style that he didn’t even like meaningless. Even so, it was hard not to feel the urge to rip off the scarf tightly wrapped around his neck when gazing at the cheerful weather outside the window. Indeed, Ryoma had the right to murmur a complaint or two in his heart with this impossibility.

Well... For now, I’ll just focus on fulfilling my role. With that self-reminder, Ryoma dismissed such trivial thoughts and turned his gaze back to the room.

A long ebony table stood at the center of the room.
