At the royal palace, Baron Ethel was staring at the king and queen as they shamelessly flirted with each other. His expression was calm, but a fiery anger was swirling in his belly. The peace and order of this country were falling apart, and yet these two had no interest in the people and their lives. The baron had just about had it with their refusal to engage in nothing but debauchery.
“Your Majesty, is my new castle still not ready yeeet?” Chichi wheedled, sounding like a spoiled child. The king embraced her as he played with his Mobile Force unit. The Mobile Forces had become the king’s favorite new toy, and he battled against his servants every day.
“I know, you want that castle by the lake, right? I’ve told them to hurry up, so don’t worry...” He paused. “There!”
The Gungalf the king was controlling stabbed its sword through his servant’s Zako.
“Ha ha ha! Did you witness my true power?!”
“As expected of Your Majesty,” said the servant. “Someone such as I can hardly expect to compare to you.”
“Of course, of course. There’s no one who can move Gungalf better than I!”
As the king roared with laughter, Chichi whispered in his ear, “Your technique grows more polished by the day, Your Majesty. How I long for you to penetrate me as well...”
At the queen’s obscene suggestion, the king’s face took on a lewd expression.
“Oh, what a naughty queen you are,” he said. “But that’s what I find so endearing about you.”
Baron Ethel saw them off with frigid courtesy as they withdrew to their bedroom, the king’s arms wrapped around the queen’s shoulders. The baron had presented the universal elixir to his king in hopes that his improved physical health would lead him to regain his interest in politics. However, now that his condition was stable, all His Majesty did was eat and drink his fill and fully indulge himself in lewdness with Chichi.
Although the baron at least kept up the appearance that he was a noble overflowing with loyalty to the king, he was actually on the verge of giving up on him.
Is this finally the limit...? thought the baron. For the sake of the future, I must soon have His Majesty relinquish his throne...
One man’s face appeared in the baron’s mind. It was the face of General Bartos, renowned for his skill with both pen and sword, the younger brother of the current king.
