Chapter 13: My Hero King Can't Be This Cute.
[June 9, you were proposed to by Female Hero King Gilgamesh.]
"In short,"
The Female Hero King waved her hand decisively, her dazzling golden hair fluttering under the sunlight.
"Mongrel, you understand this king's feelings clearly now, don't you? Then hurry up and marry this king! Become this king's Queen Consort!"
"Ten thousand refusals."
Eikou was not swayed in the slightest; he shook his head without hesitation.
"And why does it have to be becoming Queen Consort? Have you really clarified our genders?"
Hearing this, the Female Hero King became both embarrassed and furious, shouting:
"Mongrel, could it be that you want to ride on top of this king as a husband instead? You really are a lecherous monkey who thinks of nothing but that!"
"How did it jump from gender straight to position?! What exactly is your motive for proposing to me?!"
"As for position,"
Gawain asked seriously, "could you explain it in more detail?"
"What exactly do you want to hear, Gorilla."
Eikou rubbed his forehead; at this point he just wanted to turn around and leave.
Being with the Female Hero King?
How could he possibly agree!
Just Morgan and Scathach alone already exhausted him to death, let alone adding another female tyrant who looked troublesome just at a glance—no different from courting death.
"I refuse."
He declared firmly.
"Your Majesty Gilgamesh, I am very grateful for Your Majesty's favor. It's just that I already have someone in my heart. Please forgive me for being unable to accept Your Majesty's proposal."
The proud, fair face of Gilgamesh suddenly showed a flash of anger:
"What, mongrel, you already have a girlfriend?!"
"Yes, therefore please do not continue to harass me."
"Girlfriend?"
Gawain asked seriously, "could we invite Sir Eikou to explain this in detail?"
"Ha ha, this king understands your meaning."
The Female Hero King suddenly withdrew the anger on her face. Instead, she crossed her arms before her chest, causing her full bust to tremble and form shockingly beautiful curves, then she laughed heartily.
"It's good that you understand."
Eikou thought to himself—having said this much, who wouldn't understand?
"I see. You're raising your own price, trying to prove to this king that you are very valuable. Ha ha, just a mongrel, yet you still rack your brain like this to attract this king."
No way—what kind of understanding is that supposed to be? Did she think I was playing some 'CEO and poor girl' game with her?
"If it were anyone else who dared to reject this king like this, they would have been beheaded long ago,"
Gilgamesh narrowed her eyes and smiled confidently. "But because this king values you highly, this king can make an exception and forgive you—you 'naughty wife'."
"'Naughty wife'?"
Tristan was startled. "May I ask if you could explain that in more detail?"
Boom!!
Gilgamesh could no longer tolerate the noisy two Round Table Knights at her side. Golden ripples of the King's Treasury spread out, golden chains tightly bound them and, without the slightest mercy, flung them straight out the infirmary window.
"All done, the obstructive mongrels are all gone."
Gilgamesh stepped in front of Eikou.
She slightly rose onto the tips of her high heels, both hands braced on her slender waist. Her face—both arrogant and bearing a girlish air—leaned close before his, as if trying to use the oppressive presence of a king at close range to make him submit.
"There are no more unnecessary people here. You should speak your true thoughts now, shouldn't you?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, what I said just now are precisely my true thoughts."
Eikou shook his head; he still chose to refuse.
Buzz—
Violent waves of magical energy resounded through the air. Countless golden rings of light simultaneously appeared behind her, and in an instant numerous Noble Phantasms were all aimed straight at him.
Gilgamesh's long, beautiful eyes were dyed with a dangerous red.
"Consider that last sentence as something this king did not hear. Reconsider your choice of words, mongrel."
The radiant blonde woman, bearing a noble air, slightly bared a small yet adorable and sharp canine.
"Cast aside those boring thoughts of yours. From now on, it is enough for you to obey only my commands. Do that, and this king shall, in the name of the King of All Things, bestow upon you endless pleasure and delight."
"I refuse."
Eikou still shook his head, but he had already prepared to use My Love is Eternal on himself, relying on its state of immortality to forcibly evade the impending Noble Phantasm barrage.
Though he was scared stiff inside, he had no intention of continuing to get entangled with this Female Hero King any longer.
After enhancing his defensive skills, Eikou turned around and left.
Seeing this, Gilgamesh froze for a moment, then immediately flew into a rage from embarrassment and shouted loudly:
"Hey, mongrel, where do you think you're going?! Daring to refuse this king's command—this king will make sure neither you nor your mongrel friends ever have a peaceful day again! I'll have all of you executed!"
Eikou thought to himself that this was exactly the kind of chuunibyou dialogue, perfectly matching his stereotypical impression of Goldie.
He no longer wanted to bother with this mess at all. If he really got expelled, then he'd think of another solution when the time came.
"..."
Seeing Eikou completely ignore her threats, the Female Hero King puffed out her cheeks, her high heels stomping hard against the floor.
"Wait—then this king will reluctantly take a step back..."
Gilgamesh's voice faltered. She did not activate King's Treasury, instead reflexively reaching out as if to stop him.
"As for how I address you, this king will properly revise it from now on. You are not this king's Queen Consort, but a husband, this king's King Consort. That should satisfy you now, shouldn't it?"
What kind of concession was this supposed to be? Did she really think doing this would make my heart waver and change my mind?
Eikou was left utterly speechless.
Seeing that he still did not respond, the Female Hero King's voice carried a hint of urgency as she hurriedly added:
"Fine, fine—if this king is in a good mood, I can even make a special exception and allow you to take the position on top with this king!"
"Why are we back to this topic again? Why are you using that as a bargaining condition?!"
Even though he had to admit that, with her perfect figure, it really was easy to stir such urges.
But faced with such an incomprehensible negotiation condition, Eikou merely shook his head and quickened his pace.
Gilgamesh was clearly panicking, looking as if she wanted to chase after him.
"Wait... that, this king understands now. From now on, I'll never call you mongrel again, all right?! This is already the greatest concession!"
"..."
Eikou thought to himself just what the hell her so-called "greatest concession" even was. To her, was insulting others as mongrels more important than intimacy between lovers? Was cursing people the very soul of her being, you stubborn little brat!
Seeing that he still did not turn back, Gilgamesh bit her lip lightly in frustration.
Tap, tap.
Eikou heard hurried footsteps—the sharp sound of high heels striking the floor.
The very next second, he was tightly hugged from behind by the blonde girl.
Eikou's eyes widened.
He turned his head back in confusion, only to see the Female Hero King pressing her soft, alluring body tightly against him. The full curves of her chest were pressed against his, forming a taut, pressured cleavage.
"You really are a mongrel..."
She pursed her lips, forcing back a choking tone. Her expression was so unwilling it looked as though she was about to cry, appearing both adorable and pitiable.
"If you're willing to exchange contact information with this king, this king will give you allowance money every week."
"..."
