The king ordered the two girls on his lap to move away and after he told those girls he stood up and say “ you can stand up chosen one” after he said that I stood up but Priscilla and alistair remains kneeling to him.
“ Your name is Ren right?” king blanche ask me
“Yes king blanche, that is correct” I replied to him
“You’ve probably wondering why you’re the one that being summoned here correct ?”
“Yes that would be correct, I would like to know why I’m the one that got summoned here” I answered him
Before he could answer my question, king blanche order everyone to leave the room, including Priscilla and alistair. They all understand and nods at the king request and slowly they all leave the room and inside the room there are only me and king Blanche remain.
“Why would you order them to leave the room?” I ask king blanche
“well, I don’t want them to know our conversation”
“Why is that?” I ask
“I think you’ll soon find out why” he answered
“I see, so by the way, why am I the one that being summoned here?” I ask
“Because you fit the criteria” he answered
“The criteria?” I ask
“Yes, the criteria. This summoning rituals will choose people that have a lot of potentials from your world. If I’m not mistaken your world is called ‘earth’ right?”
“Yes king blanche that is correct, my world is called ‘earth’.” I answered him
“We’ve been summoning humans from your world to defeat the demon lord but they all never returned here, it is sad because they are all powerful individuals” king blanche said
“King blanche, have you ever tried to summon a lot of people at the same time before?” I ask him
“I have tried that before, but it took us a lot of resources and mana to do so” he answer
“what do you mean by that king blanche?” I ask
“Well to summon 1 human from your world, we have to sacrifice 50 humans from our world and we also need at least 5 powerful sages to perform the rituals” he said
“ 50 LIVES??!??!” I sound a bit shocked “why would you sacrifice 50 lives just to bring people’s from my world???” I ask
“Everything need a sacrifice and even though I need to sacrifice a lot of lives in order to summon people from your world to my world. I am willing to do so. I’m willing to sacrifice everything to bring evil down from this world and cleanse all demons from this world.”
“I see…. You said you’ve been summoning humans from my world right? I would like to know how many people have you summoned before you summoned me?” I ask

“In my 35 years of life I have summoned a total of 20 people from your world but before that my father or the previous king has summoned a lot of people from your world”
“20 people’s huh…. So that mean he already sacrifices 1000 of his own people…” I speak on my mind.
“I’ve heard from Priscilla that people here possessed magic and even some of them able to manipulate more than one elements of magic’s, why don’t you use them and choose to summoned us instead?” I ask him
“Yes that is correct ren, in this world we can use magic and even able to use more than one elements of magic, but humans that got summoned here possessed a more powerful magic and mana and if they able to mastered their magic, they would be a fair match with the demon lord” he replied
“Why don’t you send a lot of mages and sages from this world to defeat the demon lord then? I’m sure that the demon lord wilL be defeated if you send a lot of mages and sages to fight him, and you also have a paladin, holy knight, and a royal knight. Why don’t you send them?” I ask
“Ren, when I send people from your world to fight the demon lord, I didn’t sent them alone, but I also sent mages, sages, knights, mercenaries, and survival supplies with them. But it seems that the demon lord still more powerful than I have imagined” he replied
“Then what did you hope from me? If those people you sent before cannot defeat the demon king, what did you expect from me? In my eyes when you send me to fight the demon lord it’s just a suicide missions, since no one returned back alive” I replied with a panic voice
“You are different ren, you possessed a power surpassing the previous… let’s call them ‘hero’. Yes your power surpass them by a mile” he replied with a convincing voice
“And why would you think so? What makes me different from the other hero?” I ask
“Priscilla report to me that you only need 3 days to regain your consciousness right? It usually take a week for the other to recover from the side effects” he replied
“Yes, I already know that” I replied
“And you also have a raw strength that matches a paladin commander right?” he ask
“How did you know that?” I ask
“Priscilla told me that. Every day Priscilla report to me about your sword training progress. So I know how strong you are” he replied
“But I’m still not a match for a demon lord right?” I ask
“Yes that is correct, don’t worry I’m not going to send you to fight the demon lord now. You may enjoy your life here and train, I will provide you with the most compatible butler and maids to serve you, and you also have a good teacher on your side”
“A good teacher?” I ask
“Yes, a good teacher. Didn’t Priscilla told you that she is a former warrior that can wield a powerful magic?” he ask
“Oh yeah, she said that” I replied
“Don’t worry, under her guidance you will become really really powerful”. He said
“I hope so…” I replied
“Is there anything more you want to ask me?” he ask
“Not right now, I don’t have any questions for now” I replied
“very well, ren please tell everyone to come back here and also please come here at 8 p.m because I’ve prepare a fancy dinner for us, you can bring all of the people you want to this dinner” he said
I nods at his request and then I left room and tell the others that they can return back to the king’s room to do their duties. After they all return to the king’s room Priscilla and I decided to left the castle and explore the kingdom and once we’re exploring the kingdom, I told Priscilla that I got invited to a dinner party with King Blanche after hearing that Priscilla and I decided to buy some local food, clothes, and enjoying the city. Priscilla really have a good eye when she pick the clothes for me and she also make sure that I have a good suit for the dinner party later.
“Priscilla, isn’t this clothes really expensive? It cost 2 gold coins right?” I tell Priscilla
“Don’t worry master ren, King blanche give me 50 gold coins before he told me to became your maid and when we run out of gold coins we can ask him for more, so don’t worry about it" she replied
“50 gold coins? That seems like a lot of money….”
“I mean it is a lot of money master ren. The average wage in this kingdom is 1-2 gold coins per month” said Priscilla
“1-2 GOLD COINS??!??. And King Blanche gave us 50 Gold coins? Just like that?!?” I said with a shock tone
“Master ren, please keep your voice down. We don’t want to attract the thieves in this area” she said
“Alright I understand. Sorry Priscilla” I said to her
“So when we run out of gold coins we can just ask King Blanche for more?” I ask her
“Yes, you’re correct master ren” she replied
“Is he not gonna questions me on what I do with the money?” I ask her
“No, he probably not gonna ask that” she replied
“Oh, I just remembered. Priscilla why did you report to the king about my progress?” I ask her
“Because it’s my duty to report your training progress. But I didn’t tell King Blanche everything”
“Okay, I trust you Priscilla”
She smiled when I said that and then say “Thank you master ren” and then she paid for my suit for the dinner party later. After we bought my suit we decide to explore the kingdom more. We really have a good time together, we buy snacks, drinks and seeing all that this kingdom have to offer until it’s finally evening.
“Ah master ren, it’s evening already. We should go back to our place and prepare ourselves to attend the dinner party later”
“Yeah let’s do that”
