Volume 5 Chapter 40 Drinking In A Stylish Place. Because I'm The Hero
"Sometimes I need to let loose. It's troublesome when everyone knows my face wherever I go."
Eris said as she relaxed her shoulders while wearing a night dress. But I couldn't relax at all. By the way, it was happened when I returned to the Centraris Kingdom.
I was clearly out of place in a venue where high-ranking people were chatting. Even I, who was not good at socializing, recognized some of the faces.
"Don't worry about the surroundings. This is the kind of place it is, and I've booked a proper room for us."
After saying that, she led me to a room clearly meant for VIPs.
If I were wearing armor, it would be one thing, but I was clearly out of place in a suit. The waiter who didn't bat an eye at the pairing of a princess and a brat was a professional.
I felt cramped and suffocated.
"H-hey, Eris, don't you think it's unnecessary to drink in such an expensive place? We could just order drinks at the castle."
"You may not be aware of it, but you are the highest-paid person in the kingdom. You could have formed a military as a lord, and the rewards for the demons you defeated are already enormous."
"Really?"
"That's why you need to spend money in places like this. It's to stimulate the economy."
"Then why not just donate money?"
"You can't just donate money as the Hero. There's a risk of creating a new holy land and involving the church."
"Ah, I see."
Becoming rich was nice, but with such a large sum of money, I could only imagine trouble. Then Eris stretched out her arm and flicked my forehead.
"You fool. Do you want to ruin my father's reputation? You're not good at using your head for such things, so don't think about unnecessary things. The best way to use your money is to spend it when you can."
"I see."
"I also signed the contract earlier with your name."
"Isn't that strange?"
Why can Eris spend money in my name? Even if she was my wife, she wouldn't do that. And why did the waiter accept this without thinking it was funny? The world is spinning and leaving me behind.
Eris shrugged her shoulders.
"Why? The Hero's title is a trump card that can be used in any negotiation. Or would you like to negotiate instead?"
"Please feel free to use it."
But it was impossible. If I used my head for anything other than fighting, I would be overwhelmed and die. It seemed that Eris could use my name not only in Centraris Kingdom but also elsewhere.
"Okay. Besides, it's annoying to be watched by everyone at the castle."
Eris said with a smile, taking the cocktail that arrived.
It seemed that she had also ordered one for me, and a glass with popping bubbles was placed in front of me.
Come to think of it, it had been a while since I was alone with Eris.
On the other side of the glass, there is a woman wearing a dress. Her face was not the usual brave one of a warrior, but filled with beauty like the sunset sun.
Is it because of the night and the place that makes it look like that? After all, Eris is undoubtedly a royal family. In situations like this, she shines with a completely different radiance.
Isn't that cunning?
I took the glass to hide my itching.
"Cheers"
