"The issue is, do I really have to marry Morgan in a month?"
This question troubled Reiger somewhat.
Principally, he was of course opposed.
For no reason at all, how could he possibly think of marrying someone he had just met, and who might very well turn into an enemy in the future?
Although Morgan was beautiful and strong, perhaps even stronger than his current self, this inexplicable development still met with Reiger’s resistance.
He hadn’t even figured out why Morgan wanted to marry him, or why she had planted a "stake" in him, creating a deeply profound connection between them.
The only certainty Reiger had was that something had definitely happened to Morgan, and it was related to him.
Of course, this had nothing to do with the present Reiger.
Normally, Reiger would definitely ignore such a situation and leave immediately, not staying here to bizarrely marry a queen.
But the existence of the "stake" made Reiger instinctively not resist, and he naturally accepted "Morgan is my wife" from time to time.
His state at that moment could be described in one sentence: his mind kept shouting no, but his body honestly took the initiative, famously described as the body being honest while the mouth complains.
This was somewhat embarrassing.
"...what would happen if Yuri and Liz found out? That would probably cause a major upheaval, right?"
Reiger briefly considered that consequence, and then shivered.
Although he hadn’t confirmed his relationship with Yuri, their relationship could definitely be described as more than friends but less than lovers, with only a thin layer of paper separating them, always on the verge of being pierced.
Liz, a young princess, practically saw Reiger as her world, relying on him completely. If Reiger suddenly told her he was going to marry another woman whom she did not know, the young princess would likely cry.
Then, Reiger’s head would probably feel twice its normal size.
"Luckily, this isn’t happening in the same world."
Reiger even had such a dismissive thought.
In the end, Reiger’s thoughts boiled down to just one sentence.
"Let’s take things one step at a time."
That was the only viable action he could take at the moment.
"Just don’t know how Altoria is faring now."
Thinking of that elf girl, Reiger’s eyebrows furrowed deeply again.
Reiger then cast a magic spell intending to contact Altoria.
But the [Message] magic Reiger cast couldn’t get through.
"Is there a barrier in the palace that impedes magical effects?"
The first possibility Reiger thought of was this.
As the owner of this palace, Morgan was a magician with exceptional skills; she might have set up some defenses in the palace to protect herself or the throne beneath her.
Even if Morgan hadn’t set up defenses in the palace, the rate at which that throne absorbed magic power could have thoroughly disrupted the space here, causing some more delicate magic to be rendered ineffective.
[Message] was such a type of delicate magic and was easily affected.
"No option, I’ll have to resort to a less sophisticated method."
Reiger activated his magic again.
"[First Rank Monster Summoning]."
As a small magic array appeared above the palm of Reiger’s hand, a raven flew out of the magic array.
This was a level 5 weak monster, known as the Messenger Raven.
The Messenger Raven, as its name implied, was a raven used for delivering messages.
Its function similar to the Kasuga Crow in the Demon Slayer World, both were messengers capable of conveying messages, the difference being that Kasuga Crows were trained, whereas Messenger Ravens naturally possessed this ability.
Under the direct gaze of this raven, Reiger said a sentence.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine, I’ll find you after a month."
Reiger only said this much.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say more, but speaking more might lead the Messenger Raven to convey the wrong message.
These ravens had limited memory, unless used multiple times or their level increased through special skills otherwise, they could only transmit a little information, the more concise, the better transmitted.
Thus, Reiger tried to simplify his words so the Messenger Raven could accurately carry out what he intended to say.
And its most commendable trait was that it could precisely locate anyone who had had physical contact with the summoner in the recent period, and fly to their side.
Reiger chose to summon the Messenger Raven, and not some other monster, as the messenger for this reason.
As for the precondition of physical contact, an elf girl who had snuggled into Reiger’s arms to sleep in the middle of the night long satisfied this.
Reiger let the Messenger Raven out the window.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine, I’ll find you after a month."
"Don’t worry, I’m fine, I’ll find you after a month."
"Don’t worry, I’m fine, I’ll find you after a month."
The Messenger Raven suddenly flew up into the air, circled a few times, and then, while crying out such a sentence, flew towards the distance.
Reiger slightly regretted summoning this creature to send messages.
How was this different from defecating in the street?
Just as Reiger was seriously considering whether to call the Messenger Raven back and rethink the plan for sending messages, suddenly, his door was knocked on.
Reiger subconsciously responded, then realized with a raised eyebrow.
"Someone is looking for me?"
A servant? Or an acquaintance?
The answer seemed to be the latter.
"Nice room, very tasteful."
Accompanied by such a sentence, the door to Reiger’s room was opened.
A robust figure walked in from outside.
Reiger was somewhat surprised.
The visitor was none other than the Elf Knight Gawain.
