The Game of a Legendary Genius Dark Mage

2.

After the war with Basilica.

A somewhat eerie atmosphere lingered over the palace in Ninyaru, located in the Upper District of the Labyrinth City.

The Golden Knights guarding the palace, the Black Knights defending the city, and even the White Knights surrounding the area were nowhere to be found.

There were servants residing in the palace, of course, but they typically didn't venture all the way to the hall where Nyao resided.

It felt as though the entire palace was shrouded in a sense of stillness.

Nyao, in particular, preferred such a quiet atmosphere.

A still, lethargic rest in the midst of treasures scattered across the hall was the perfect nap for him.

But today, his peaceful time was interrupted.

"......"

He looked at the unexpected guest with eyes filled with slight resentment.

"......?"

"What's wrong, Nyao?"

The woman, Helena, responded with a questioning tone.

Nyao, now aware of his own strength, was still inexplicably lowering his gaze.

The habits engraved in his body from long ago were deeply ingrained.

At any rate, when he saw Helena and Seong return, he nodded slightly.

"Haah, the future Overlord... You are deserving of such a......"

"Let's keep it casual, Nyao."

"Ah, should I?"

"Yeah, what does it matter? We're among ourselves, after all."

"Well, that's true."

The king's dignity was certainly nowhere to be found. Despite feeling a bit emotional, Nyao couldn't help it.

Seong felt somewhat sorry for Nyao, but ultimately, he didn't stop him. After all, he didn't intend to interfere in their relationship.

Moreover, there was a benefit in this for Seong.

There was no need to stop it.

Seong quietly waited, and Nyao, in a comfortable manner, spoke to him.

"Ahem, if there's anything you'd like, you can just pick it out. Maybe around... no, about five items?"

Nyao had intended to say four but, noticing Helena's gaze, increased the number to five.

Seong looked at Nyao with gratitude.

"Thank you."
