Three men and one elf sat around a round table, the room was very dark because it was a closed and a secret room, only four candles were lit and each man had one in front of them.
The first one to speak was a man around his late 40's, he had a gray beard and hair that reached his shoulders, he wore a simple golden nightwear, this man was the king. He spoke in a serious tone.
"Gentleman, this is an important meeting and a word getting out of this room will mean execution. For now, let's call that thing, her holiness. She is currently resting in my room but I have a question to ask Marshall, did she hurt anybody?"
He turned to the man that was wearing an iron, he also looked exactly like the king but only their eyes and body were different the marshall's eyes were light green and he had a well-built and the king's eyes were dark red and he had a weak body and just like the king he also spoke in a serious tone.
"No, she didn't. I think we should get rid off her holiness, brother." A young elf with circle glasses, long dark green hair and light blue eyes, this young elf also wore a black nightwear just like the king because he was also wakened from his sleep, this young elf was the prime minister of this kingdom, he interrupted the marshall.
"I am sorry your majesty but I strongly disagree with Marshall Georn. Our kingdom is in debt, we are the poorest human nation, we are the weakest human nation, we are a lone wolf in our continent and our only source of protection and income is the adventurer's guild. If we were to use her, all of these problems would vanish." Said the prime minister while the Marshall glared at him, their relationship wasn't so great. The king connected his hands in front of his mouth and stared at the candle that was in front of him.
"I think we should keep her existence a secret until a big kingdom attacks us. But I want to have this young man's opinion." He turned to the young man that was sitting right next to him, this young man looked like he was around his early 20's, he had short red hair and blue eyes, he wore a leather armor and a belt that carried his sword but only one thing that caught everyone's attention and that was the scar across his face, It was a huge scar that was caused by a sword and this gave him a hostile and cold atmosphere around him.

"I really don't think I should even be here, your majesty."
"Its okay, after all, prime minister brought you here." Said the king.
"I only brought him here because he was the first one to discover her holiness. And he is probably the only one who is able to speak Gevriani in this continent. Her holiness only knows Gevriani so there is a language barrier between us but he is going to help." Said the prime minister.
"Hmph! I don't believe a commoner is going to help us for free. I heard you were an E rank in the adventurer guild correct?"
"Yes, I want to be a swordsman but I have no talent for it."
"Who cares about talent all of our high commands is talentless and useless. I can use you in my high command unlike them you seem like a loyal and a sensible person. But that is only if you help me." Marshall had a smug smile on his face, he offered the young man a position, only if he supported the marshall's idea but like the marshall said this young man was a sensible person and so he rejected him.
"I am sorry but I have no interest in the military." His smug smile turned into an angry expression but the prime minister now had a smile on his face.
"I can offer you a minister position in the kingdom but you will have to help me." The young man turned to the king with a worried look on his face.
"I-Is this okay?"
"Well, this is court politics. I also can marry you to my daughter but you will have to play your cards right."
"I-I have to think." The young man lied because he had accepted one of the offers right after the moment he heard it but he didn't want to look like an easy man, so he waited and acted like he was thinking, after two minutes he reached an answer.
"I will have to agree with the king." Now, the only one who had a smile on his face was the king, he laughed and stood up, he patted his shoulders.
"Welcome to the family, Marvin."
