My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry

13 – The Man Loved by the Goddess (1)

A few days later, the king of Alprada Kingdom left the country. He threw away the image of a king, wore simple clothes, and left with a modest appearance, but the image of him leaving in search of a dream was happier than anyone else.

And Lucy’s coronation was also held accordingly. Lucy, who became queen as the successor to the king, who was no longer an ordinary princess, was blessed under the cheers of many people.

Also, I was also appointed chancellor along with Lucy. It was the birth of a new prime minister who would be in charge of the country’s overall state affairs.

The kingdom of Alprada, which has undergone a really great change, all the citizens of the kingdom of Alprada will be waiting for a better life than before.

I had no doubt that the new leaders would make them happier.

‘Hmm… It’s a burdensome position as expected.’

In that situation, I couldn’t help but feel worried.

Obviously I had told the king that I would take the position of chancellor. But no matter how you think about it, it was an inevitable choice. In that situation, it seems that he was swept away by the atmosphere and said he would take the chancellor’s position.

So when I said that I was the prime minister of the kingdom, I started to worry again for no reason. Will I really be the chancellor’s vessel? It was only natural to worry about that.

‘Yes…! If even one person opposes me, let’s put it down.’

To be honest, I don’t think I’m very suitable for the position of chancellor. That’s why I had to quickly prepare to give up this chancellor position, but I just came up with a very ingenious method.

If you think about it, I was nothing more than a paratrooper. He was a person suddenly appointed as chancellor by the former king and the current king without any formal procedure.

So, of course, wouldn’t there be a backlash? Since a foreigner who came from somewhere to eat is in charge of the kingdom, there will surely be people who oppose it. If it were me, I wouldn’t want such a person to be chancellor of my kingdom.

‘Yes…! Let’s put it down as soon as there is opposition.’

That’s why I intend to use it. I don’t think it will last very long anyway.

If even one person opposes me, I intend to take advantage of that and give up the Chancellor’s seat very coolly.

Then I won’t be burdened, and the former King and Lucy will admit it to some extent. And I would have to live as a commoner while farming again. While thinking about that, I calmly waited.

“Hooray for the Prime Minister of Alprada Kingdom!!!”

But what I expected did not happen. Why on earth is no one against me? I didn’t understand.

When I was appointed prime minister, countless people warmly welcomed me. And it wasn’t just the people there. The officials of the kingdom all welcomed me.

The news that I was appointed prime minister spread throughout the kingdom, and everyone in the kingdom was very happy with the news.

For some reason, Lucy seems to be cheering more than when she was appointed queen, but I couldn’t understand the thoughts of the people in the kingdom. Something must have been terribly wrong.

From noble mtl dot com

‘No… I’m going to work as a chancellor anyway and my skills will be revealed at the right time.’

Even if something goes wrong, it’s a situation where a lot went wrong. In this situation, I was a little taken aback, but I didn’t worry too much.

In the end, it is bound to be discovered that the empty cart is noisy. Right now, it must be because of the anticipation of a new chancellor, but sooner or later, that anticipation will surely fade.

Because I had never had the experience of running a country. There was no way a person like this could run the country properly.

If you dare to know anything about state administration, do you have the experience of reading the history books of various countries in the Magic Tower? That was all.

Can I manage this country well? Of course, the answer to that would be negative.

Because it’s not going to be as easy as reading a few books at your desk.

So, I decided to wait patiently. Anyway, even if I didn’t use my strength, I naturally thought that this would be my position to step down from the chancellor’s position.

In the end, ‘Will Xeras manage the country well?’ I also heard ominous concerns, so I hoped that time would solve this problem.

‘No… Why is my popularity soaring?’

However, even this turned out to be quite different from what I expected.

Now I don’t know why, but rumors have even spread that I am a prime minister who is very good at his job.

At first, they looked at me and said, ‘Will the wizard be good at kingdom work?’ Those who gave a slightly worried look, saying, have now completely disappeared.

Now I am fully recognized for my abilities as a country’s prime minister, but I really don’t know why.

‘I’m not the type to work that much.’

As chancellor, I only work for one hour a day.

I didn’t work that long, nor did I work that hard.

I put in much less effort and work fewer hours than others.

After that, I just played around with Lucy.

After finishing farming, I just live a leisurely life reading books.

I only do that, so why the hell am I so popular in the kingdom?

I didn’t even know why.

I just continued my work as the chancellor.

‘Really… He’s such a wonderful person.’

Damon, Minister of Alprada Kingdom.

He had been helping the king for a long time with the state affairs of the kingdom of Alprada.

Now he works to help Xerath, who has become the new chancellor. He couldn’t help but be surprised when he saw Xerath.

Because he was so good at his job.

‘At first, I couldn’t help but doubt that I could do well…’

To be honest, at first, Damon was a little worried about Xerath’s appointment as chancellor.

That worry was never about hating him or looking down on his humanity.

Damon, he too was a citizen of the kingdom of Alprada before he was the minister of the kingdom. Of course, he couldn’t help but feel grateful to the hero Xerath for bringing rain from a drought and getting rid of Masu Mountain, and he respected him.

But apart from that, it was true that if someone asked if he would be suitable for the position of prime minister who would lead the country, he would not be able to readily give an answer.

I know full well that he’s a good wizard and for the kingdom, but that doesn’t mean he’s a good chancellor to lead the country.

He says that a wizard who has never run a country runs the country, of course, so can he do well? He couldn’t help but worry.

‘Isn’t this really amazing?’

But it really didn’t take long for those worries to dissipate.

He was doing the prime minister’s job more perfectly than anyone else.

In just a few days, Xerath has proven his mettle. Not with words, but with overwhelming skill.

‘The speed at which paperwork is processed also makes no sense. The processed documents are also perfect…’

It’s a small kingdom, but since it’s a kingdom, countless documents are pouring in to the chancellor.

Of course, such documents take quite a long time to process. It’s to the extent that I have to be stuck in front of my desk without sleep for hours to handle it.

However, Chancellor Xerath processed all of those documents in less than an hour, no matter how long.

There were times when all the paperwork could be processed in just 10 minutes.

I wonder if that makes sense, but surprisingly it makes sense.

Besides, the documents processed in that way were absolutely flawless.

Any problem, he handles it wisely and quickly.

‘Is this the wizard’s tower, a rare genius?’

In this situation where a series of surprises happen, such feelings are no longer felt only by Damon. Other ministers of the kingdom were already of the same mind as Damon.

Damon was curious about what kind of person Xerath was and started to investigate and he learned a lot of really great things.

I knew he was a great person originally, but the more I investigated, the more he became a great person.

At the top of the mage, where only geniuses go to the academy, he is a great wizard who heard rare genius, and is called the greatest wizard of all time who took only 3 years to reach the 8th circle.

Xerath was a man with such a formidable spec that even if you simply recognized him.

He was not only that, but he also mastered numerous studies other than magic. He was a great wizard who was said to have read all the books in the Mage Tower, and he had the experience of handling numerous papers even within the warriors’ party.

I only did a little research to get this much information.

I’m sure if you do more research, you’ll find a ton of information you couldn’t even imagine.

‘It’s really amazing…’

With just that amount of information, you can see that Xerath has far surpassed the specs of a human he could have imagined.

What should I call such a person? Should we call him a genius? Or should I call it a monster?

I don’t know how to call a person named Xerath, but one thing is certain.

That is the point that Xerath is the precious chancellor of Alprada Kingdom.

“Keuugh… We didn’t do anything, but even the bonuses are so thick…”

Damon couldn’t help but weep when he saw the stack of money in front of him.

Although he is so competent, he never ignores the people and respects each and every one of them.

And the heart for them is too strong.

Prime Minister Xerath always looks after people from below and helps them.

At first I felt fear and admiration, but now the emotions are respect and gratitude.

“For Xerath to come to our kingdom… I am very fortunate. I will follow you for the rest of my life.”

He secures money without waste through excellent administration of state affairs, and gives bonuses to officials with the money.

Besides that, he has never worked overtime. Damon could not help but be very happy in this situation, where he always got a much bigger bonus for coming to work on time.

To be able to work under him must have been a great fortune.
