(Part 1)
I woke up to find Liy lying on top of my arm.
She's using it as an arm pillow.
It's getting numb...

"Liy, it's morning."(Tokiya)
"Hweh!? Red bean bun!"(Liyette)

What was she dreaming about...

"Ah, good morning, Tokiya-sama."(Liyette)
"Good morning."(Tokiya)
"Now, would you mind getting up? My arm can't hold up much longer."(Tokiya)
"O-Oh, I'm really sorry."(Liyette)

She got up immediately.
My arm...

"Now let's get ready for the day."(Tokiya)
"Un!"(Liyette)

We brush our teeth and get ready.
Then, we went down.

"Your Majesty."(Maid)
"Yes?"(Tokiya)
"The Magic Company is requesting a meeting with you."(Maid)
"Ah, alright. Tell them to meet me at the courtyard."(Tokiya)
"Yes, Your Majesty."(Maid)

I knew they will want to meet me.
I used 2 magic they didn't know yesterday.
They must be really curious.

"Tokiya-sama, why did you want to meet them at the courtyard?"(Liyette)
"You'll see."(Tokiya)

Liy and I waited for the Magic Company.
After a while, they came.

"Your Majesty."(All)
"Stand."(Tokiya)
"Your Majesty, we wish to ask you about those magics you used yesterday."(Mage)
"Very well."(Tokiya)
"What kind of magic formula did you use?"(Mage)
"Magic Formula? What's that?"(Tokiya)
"Huh!?"(All)

What?
They didn't tell me anything about this last time.

"I believe I told Your Majesty we need to command the mana to do our bidding so that we can use magic."(Mage)

Ah, it's the magician last time.

"Yes, I remember."(Tokiya)
"The command we use are called Magic Formula. It's kind of like an instruction manual for mana. For example, if we need to create fire, we have to command the mana to vibrate the air and caused friction. The friction will cause heat and from that heat, we add oxygen. The mana will become the fuel source and we get fire."(Mage)

Wow...
I didn't know all this.
There's this much things to do to make a fire...

"I didn't think all of that when I do it. I just imagine it in my head and it came out by it's own. Like this."(Tokiya)

[The ever frozen queen, build your kingdom which will never fall.]

The courtyard became really chilly and then...

*Freeze*

The courtyard became frozen.

"W-Wha-"(Mage)

They are really shocked.
Is it really that hard to do all this?
I guess that's one of the advantage of having a King's body.

"I guess there will be no result even if we keep asking."(Mage)
"Sorry."(Tokiya)
"No, Your Majesty. It's we are the one should be saying sorry because taking your precious time."(Mage)

They left.
They're kinda disappointed too.
I'm really sorry, guys.

"You're really amazing, Tokiya-sama!"(Liyette)
"Thanks, Liy."(Tokiya)

We went back inside.

(Part 2)
I have a meeting with the newly established Trading Company.
I heard it's full of young people.
I hope it's gonna be okay...

But first, BREAKFAST!!!

It's bacon!
Lot's of, lot's of bacon!

"You really did well, Chef."(Tokiya)
"Thank you, Your Majesty."(Chef)
