The Failure Alchemist of the Royal Capital ~My Job Is a Failure So, I’ll Manage My Store Carefreely.~

al’, is that okay?” His Majesty asked and I just nodded in approval.

They called Heinrich, who possessed ‘Appraisal”, in a hurry.

“I heard there was an urgent issue and I have come,” Heinrich bowed to His Majesty and his vassals.

“I expect that whatever is established here is not to be told to anyone.
Anyone who violates this will be severely punished.”

The first thing His Majesty did was to stop them all from talking.
Everyone in the room nodded silently.

“Heinrich, appraise Daisy von Preslaria and confirm that she is the ‘Green Spirit King’s Beloved Child’.”

After nodding at His Majesty’s words, Heinrich stared at me.

Then Heinrich kneeled down and bowed to me.

“Miss Daisy is indeed the ‘Green Spirit King’s Beloved Child’.”

“What—!”

“To think that someone favored by a spirit king would appear in this country…”

Heinrich’s answer was met with a mixture of surprise, delight, and fear from those in the room.

Especially the ‘Green Spirit King’.

If their ‘Beloved Child’ was in the country and living a healthy life, the country would be blessed with a rich green harvest and be prosperous.
However, on the other hand, if you treat the ‘Beloved Child’ in a way that makes them unhappy, they would be taken by the spirit king to the land of spirits to be protected, and the country will be abandoned.
The country would part with the fertile lands and there would be a chance that it would become like a desert.

His Majesty the King rose.
He left his throne and came down the stairs, dragging the red cloak hung over his shoulders.
He stopped for a moment in front of me, kneeled down, then lowered his head.

“Your Majesty, please stop!” I hurriedly urged him to cease his actions.

“I cannot do that.”

However, His Majesty shook his head, then looked up at me as he knelt down.

“Right here and now, I want you to allow me to kneel for the sake of my country and my subjects.
And, I would like for you to grant my wish… ‘Green Spirit King’s Beloved Child’, please stay in my country and love the country.
To do so, I, the king of this country, swear to always protect your wishes without fail.”

The young king, still in his twenties, stared at me with a strong-purposed emerald green light from his eyes.

“My dream is to one day be an independent alchemist in this country and have my own atelier.
The atelier will be located in the commoner’s district so that people of all social statuses can visit.
I may travel far from time to time to collect materials, but I will return to this country, where Father, Mother, Brother, and Sister reside… If you approve of my atelier and treat me as a mere alchemist from now on, I have no other wishes.”

His Majesty laughed at my words, “You’re so selfless.”

Incidentally, I was quite uncomfortable with HIs Majesty kneeling on the ground.

“…Your Majesty, please return to your throne.
I’m seven years old and this is too scary for me to bear.”

Then, Father assisted me, “That’s right, Your Majesty, my daughter’s knees have been trembling quite unfit for a lady for some time now.”

The atmosphere in the room eased up and the others who were present started to laugh.

His Majesty also laughed and returned to his throne as I had hoped, then he declared, “Miss Daisy, I have clearly heard your wish.
I shall promise to watch over you from the shadows so that you can safely run the atelier of your dreams.”

Later, on the carriage ride back from the castle, I was told by Father to conceal the ‘Beloved Child’ gift.

Also, at a later date, all of those who had helped in the battle against the magic beast, including myself, were rewarded with rewards according to their contribution, regardless of their social rank.
