As the strongest witch in history, I somehow ended up being feared so much that I’m all alone. So, I figured I’d buy a cute girl slave and ask her for all kinds of things
Your Majesty the King has come all the way to our humble stall.
“Ah, ah…”
Faced with this situation, I began to panic… No, I was already panicking, so it would be more accurate to say that my panic intensified even further.
“…”
“…”
“…”
However, contrary to my state of mind, the chaos in this place was gradually settling down.
The commoners who had continued to make a fuss even in front of the nobles had finally quieted down before His Majesty the King. Thanks to that, it could be said that a certain level of order had been restored.
“Your Majesty the King”
In the midst of this, Tia stepped forward in front of His Majesty.
“On behalf of the witch Etana , we request that the stalls here operate under her name, ensuring that everyone is treated equally and that fair transactions are conducted. Such transactions have taken place… You should have accepted Etana ‘s words.”
Tia exchanged words with His Majesty the King in a dignified manner.
Is this really okay…? The person she’s addressing is the King, the top authority of the nation! Isn’t that… extremely disrespectful? Normally, wouldn’t something like this not be forgiven?
“Of course, I am fully aware.”
Though I was worried, the King before Tia responded to her with an incredibly calm demeanor and polite tone.
“No matter what position I hold, it would pale in comparison to the presence of the witch who saved humanity. I intend to follow the witch’s words wherever they may lead. As just one individual, I’ve merely come here to shop.”
Then, His Majesty told Tia he would comply.
“However, it seems this place was already chaotic before I arrived… What do you think? I’ve brought knights as my attendants. Shall I have them guide the customers at the stalls?”
“That sounds good. In that case, please do. To be honest, we were struggling to manage the situation with just our own strength.”
“Yes, understood… Hey, all of you!”
“Yes, sir!”
Following the King’s command, the knights sprang into action, smoothly guiding the chaotic crowd of customers into neat lines.
Gradually, the disorder of the scene began to dissolve.
“…Wow.”
Seeing Tia standing up to His Majesty the King with such composure,
and then seeing the King quietly line up among the commoners in my name,
I couldn’t help but let out a voice of admiration… There really exists such an agreeable king.
All the kings I knew were arrogant to the core, always trying to bend everything to their will, strong-willed individuals through and through.
