Chapter 10: Prelude to a War...of Love!?

"Lucas, I was expecting you, come in. Arch-bishop as well and Ms. Freya" (Prince)

The Prince greeted us with a smile and gestured inside the room where I bowed slightly before going in and sitting on the couch. To which, the surrounding maids frowned upon.

I guess it's customary to let the higher rank to sit first? Well whatever, the Prince didn't seem to mind it anyway.

The Prince then gestured the maids and knights out of the room and seated as well.

"So, I've heard from Jacob about the main topic of our conversation but...can you tell me the details? Of that other world as well as this...[Dorville]? Was it?" (Prince)

"Yes, but that is not the main topic, but just the prologue of a larger topic." (Lucas)

"...A larger topic huh? I take it that this is also the reason why his Eminence, the Arch-bishop is here?" (Prince)

"Yes." (Lucas)

The Prince seems to understand and nodded, gesturing me to start.

"U-umm, should I be here?" (Freya)

"Hm? Its fine, it's not like what we will be talking here is any big secret. Don't worry, we're not plotting world domination here." (Lucas)

"It's not like that! I mean, is it alright for someone normal like me to be in this meeting?" (Freya)

"You're a Princess yourself right? And a Vampire Lord to boot. Also, you're my...familiar so you're anything but not fine." (Lucas)

I patted her head and gave her a reassuring smile.

Seeing her calm down, I continued our talk.

"Now, let me start from the time I was summoned in another world." (Lucas)

+ + +

"Fuh...that's really a lot to take...I understand, I'll see what I can do on my end." (Prince)

"I'll convince the other leaders of the [Church] as well. I too, want this project to succeed." (Arch-bishop)

I nodded while hearing positive feedbacks.

"There is one week...no, here, there are three weeks to prepare so I'll leave [Harus] matters to you guys. The [Sennerth] leaders have already been informed and we in [Earth] are also preparing." (Lucas)

I relaxed my back feeling a heavy load being taken from me.

For a while, I let myself rest like that...seriously, this burden is too much...

"Amazing...to think something like this will happen..." (Freya)

"Hm? Wanna come as well?" (Lucas)

"N-no! I would get nervous if I even stand in the same room!" (Freya)

"Right?..." (Lucas)

And here I am from a simple college student to...this...haaah, what did I do with my life...?

Reset! I want a reset!

...I wonder if I will be reincarnated if I die?...Nah, I don't even want to try it...

"Ah, concerning the matter of [Sennerth], not many people know about it just yet so we were planning to surprise everyone, can you keep it a secret for a bit?" (Lucas)

I said in a playful tone and a wink.

Why keep it a secret? Well, I just want to see the look of their faces with wide eyes and hanging jaws. I realize how fun it is to surprise high ranking people from the Arch-bishop.
