Chapter 1189: Mai Meets Albert

"Roy, it’s been a while but are you sure that you want the meeting to be here?" Albert asked.

I contacted Albert about the situation in the snowy village and told him to discuss it with the villagers in the Capital of Tatrama instead of other places. It seems like I’m favoring Tatrama more. But this time, it can’t be helped. Really.

Because this time, we have a huge surprise.

"I’m sure. There’s something important for you to know. Since everyone is here already, I’ll be going back to that village and bring the villagers. Albert, all of them will probably choose to live in Tatrama because of a reason. That reason is something you will know soon," I said.

Good thing Victoria and Arin haven’t told anyone yet. This is a huge surprise.

And since we will have the meeting here, Marie, Shirley, Alan, and Lana are here. They need to know their sister and aunt.

So I left to the snowy mountain. I entered the tent of the Village Chief, which is Mai’s and Helga’s tent. Though Mai is the Chief, Helga is her sister.

"Seems like you have prepared to move. You don’t need to carry your stuffs and leave them here. I can take them later after the meeting," I said.

I also gave them some casual clothes because Tatrama is warmer than here. There’s no way they can concentrate by wearing those thick clothes since it will be too hot. So I gave them some clothes. I’m still the biggest fashion brand owner in the world. Even though everything is designed by my slime.

"We can finally leave the cold!" someone said.

Though you will need to adapt to a new life in the city. If not, then you will go to a village. Well, it depends on you. Because living in a place you’re not used to might be worse even if the climate is better.

They are still wearing thick fur coat to protect them from the cold. But they will remove them when they’re moved to Tatrama.

"If you are ready, just enter," I said.

One by one, everyone entered. Except for Mai and Helga who haven’t entered.

"...I’m nervous," Mai said.

"That’s normal. Now, move," I said.

Both girls glared at me before they sighed and stepped into the portal. And I entered last.

"...It’s warm," Helga said.

"How long has it been since we’re away from the cold?" Mai asked.

Let them enjoy the warmth for a while. They also removed their coat and already have some warm drinks for them to enjoy prepared by Albert’s servants.

"Welcome to my Kingdom. I am Albert. The King of Tatrama," Albert said.

The villagers just stared at him while smiling. Albert doesn’t know why. No one knows. Except for me, Victoria, and the villagers.

Even Mai is just staring at him. I guess I should be the one introducing them.

"Mai. Helga. Come here," I said to the two girls.

They shyly stepped forward.

"This is Mai. The Village Chief of that village. And Albert, she is your half-sister. She has the same ability as you to detect lies. The entire village already knows about it."

Silent. No one talked because everyone is speechless.

We already knew that the previous King had an illegitimate child. That child is me.

We did consider that there might be some more of illegitimate children. But who would have thought that we found one in another continent? And this time, she also has the same ability as Albert.

"...Wait, what?! What the fuck?!"

"Albert, don’t curse in front of your sister," I said.

"Like, seriously?!" Albert asked.

"I had Arin drunk her blood. She said that her blood tastes similar to me. In fact, she even said that her blood is more similar to yours rather than Shirley’s. My guess is because she also inherited the ability to detect lies," I said.

"Huh?!"

I guess I can understand him now. The father figure and the King he respected, turns out to be someone who is not loyal to his wife and had children even in another continent.

"As for whether the previous King made it to the other continent or not, I don’t know that yet. Mai said that she was found on the beach. On the west side of the continent. Then she was raised by a family who already had a daughter. That’s Helga. The girl over there. In that case, Helga is also our sister," I said.

"...Have you checked her memory?" Albert asked.

"Not yet. Mai said she’s willing to do it though. But it’s pretty much confirmed when she said that she has the ability to detect lies," I said.

"...What the hell? Wait, no. Mai, right? I didn’t mean to deny your existence as my sister. It’s just that the figure of my father that I respected is not what I expected anymore. First with Roy. Then you. I’m just... speechless," Albert said.

For someone so speechless, he said a lot of things.

"...Don’t tell me that I’m also your brother," old man Henry said.

"You’re older than my father so there’s no way!" Albert shouted.

It will be fun if he’s our brother though. But it means that Julia is my niece. She’s older than me. And old man Henry already has a lot of grandchildren. That makes me a granduncle.

Well, it’s not true though. Old man Henry only said that to change the mood.

"Sigh... that’s fine. Well, I trust Roy. But I want to test more about it. So—"

"I’ll go with them!"

Shirley interrupted and jumped to Mai and Helga. She’s someone who wanted a younger brother. Now she has another younger sister. Wait, two younger sisters. So she’s really happy and hugged them both.

"I’m Shirley! Your sister! Nice to meet you!"

So it’s decided that to see Mai’s memory, Shirley will be the one to check it. Because unlike me, I think Mai will be troubled if there are men seeing her past. Everything will be seen. Even when you were a baby. That’s how powerful the Spirit King is at reading memories.

"Sigh... Anyway, let’s talk about the village," Albert said.

Now he knows why we did it here. And they talked about everything they can.

Mai provided information from the other continent. And Helga doesn’t seem to be hostile to me anymore. I think it’s thanks to Shirley who is still hugging her while Mai is discussing things with the others.

Not everyone in the snowy village came from the same place. So we learned a lot about other places. But since it has been so long since they left their hometown, their information needs to be investigated. But at least we learned a few things.

"...The conversation goes way too smoothly," Albert said.

"That’s to be expected when two people who can detect lies are talking. Since no one reacted, it means that neither side detected any lies," the centaur I called here said that.

He’s here just in case someone lied. But he didn’t do anything.

And now I understand why centaurs’ conversations are not long.

"Alright. We will provide a place for the villagers to stay and a job in the city. If they can’t adapt to the life in the city, they can move to the village or free to be anything. Maybe some of you who can use magic want to be hunters. That is fine as well," Albert said.

And after the discussion is over, the girls surrounded Mai and Helga. While I helped the villagers to move to the place prepared by Albert after I sent the other Kings back to their countries.

The young men and women are thinking of being hunters. The older ones are thinking of a peaceful life in a village. They’re old but they are willing to learn farming or carpentry.

So they will all be separated from Mai and Helga who will stay in the palace for a bit longer. They want to know more about Albert and his family. With both Shirley and Lana already attached to them.

Even without telling her, Lana already called both Mai and Helga as her aunts. The same goes for Alan as well.

I also promised the villagers that if they can’t find any job, I will provide them with something to do. Maybe be a clerk in one of my stores or something.

Then the snowy village is empty. And we prepared to change it into our base.

"Isn’t it too cold?" I asked.

"It should be fine. We have a lot of ice mages. They will be the one staying here. Some of them are even summoners. So in case we need help, we can summon people here," one of the agents who will stay here said.

Then I helped a bit with delivering supplies that they need to live here. Once I’m done, I will start causing ruckus in this continent.

We already have two bases. We will make more. But they should be enough for now.

So, it’s time to destroy everything the cult has built.
