Upon hearing my words, the expressions on the faces of the two emperors stiffened. After a moment, the Emperor of the Witte Empire suddenly smiled and said, "Ahem, it's not like you can spend it on yourself anyway, so why bother."

Damn, even though that's the truth, it still made me feel uneasy hearing it put that way.

"Well... okay, I can accept gold bars next time directly."

"Is that so~ It seems like you have quite different opinions from us when it comes to shopping."

Suddenly feeling a chill on both sides, I realized that the two emperors were standing right beside me.

This really wasn't good, hahaha...

"No, what I meant is that the denomination of gold coins is too small. It's more convenient to pay with gold bars because the denomination is larger."

"Pfft!"

The Emperor of the the Ais Empire, who was sipping tea on the side, almost sprayed out his tea, then looked at me with a look that said 'I have never seen such shamelessness' in his eyes.

Well~ It was your daughter who bought it after all, I can at most take a cut from it. Well, consider it as keeping you company in shopping.

"Alright, let's not talk about money anymore, it's so tacky." the Emperor of the Witte Empire said.

"Yes, indeed, next time precious gems will also do." I responded with a smile. However, seeing the increasingly twitchy expression on the face of the Emperor of the Witte Empire, I decided it was better to stop.

"Ahem, let's not talk about this. Shouldn't the new Empress of the Chelfa Kingdom be behind you? Why has she been standing behind all this time?"

Oh right, Yaling is the Empress now, why does she keep standing at the back? I turned my head to look, only to see Yaling saying a bit sheepishly, "I've just gotten used to it…"

"..."

I shook my head and then walked over, pulling Yaling along.

"Oh, by the way, let me mention one thing, I'm currently overseeing the Chelfa Kingdom, so don't even think about making a move on the Chelfa Kingdom."

"Yeah, this guy is now the Mage King of the Chelfa Kingdom." Sillie chimed in, pointing at me.

The expressions on the faces of the two emperors looked helpless.

"I must ask, aren't you tired from holding so many positions?" the Emperor of the Witte Empire asked.

"Well, it's not like I have to do anything anyway, isn't that a good thing?"

"Sigh…" The Emperor of the the Ais Empire sighed and said, "We do intend to form an alliance with the Chelfa Kingdom, after all, I know how close your relationship is, and it would be beneficial for us. Plus, I'm quite interested in the underground ruins of Chelfa."

"I advise you not to dig into that." I said wryly.

"Don't forget the fate of the previous King of the Chelfa Kingdom."

"I know, besides, I'm an old man now, I can't be bothered with conquering the world, retiring peacefully is the way to go."

"Hey hey hey, isn't retiring as a king the same as dying?"

"Who said that, I'll just disappear in the blink of an eye, then I've retired, right?"

Holy cow, you really dare to play like that.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the nearby guards, it seemed as if their worldviews were being greatly challenged. But I think what they were most worried about now was whether the emperors would kill them to keep them quiet. But I remember Gabriel was still working in the the Ais Empire, erasing the memories of these guys wasn't an easy task, right?

"Alright, let's cut the crap," I said, my expression turning serious.

"What do you guys think about this meeting?" I asked, and the two emperors also grew serious at my question.

"Well, I think we can always just run away, right? No matter what, not showing up is definitely the worst decision, after all, the other side might use it as an excuse to attack," one of them said.

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are thinking just like humans, those dragon clans don't babble so much. If they really wanted to attack, they wouldn't even give a heads-up. Holding this meeting now must be related to some past agreements," I interjected.

"That is true," frowned the Emperor of the Ais Empire.

"But if the other side truly aims to eliminate all human leaders, wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity?" I pointed out.

"Let's just hope that's not the case," I shrugged.

"I really can't fight dragons."

"..." Both of them looked helpless.

Mary, standing beside me, patted my shoulder and said, "I never thought Fir would admit there's a day he can't win a fight."

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you struggle against the boss at first too?" I retorted.

"Maybe use a bug to exploit the fight?" she suggested shamelessly.

Hey, hey, hey, why resort to such shameless tactics? Although I kind of like it.

"Alright, enough nonsense. By the way, there's no place to eat around here, right?" I pointed to the castle that looked like a cave.

"Did you guys bring any food?" I asked.

"..." Judging by their expressions, it seemed hopeless.

"If it's alcohol... I think we have some on the airship?" one of them mentioned.

"Hey, hey, hey, your airship is so well decorated, please, at least have a kitchen on board, okay?" I rolled my eyes.

"Who knows, usually we can go to and from any place in a day, and besides, we don't usually visit these strange locations," they explained.

Their reasoning left me speechless.

"When does the meeting start?" I asked.

"Probably around 5 p.m.," the Emperor of the Ais Empire replied helplessly.

"I have no idea about the dragon clan's concept of time."

"Creatures that sleep for at least two days at a time... their concept of time, heh heh..." I chuckled, taking out some meat pies I bought earlier and began eating them silently.

As I glanced at everyone's disapproving looks, I felt extremely content.

Ah, these meat pies are really delicious.
