I was Sold at the Lowest Price in My Class, However My Personal Parameter is the Most Powerful - Chapter 469:

C469: A Long Time Ago / Jean

We, the Iron Knight, who entered the Kingdom of Meltaria, were greeted with an enthusiastic welcome, aided by the return of the princess of their own country. Seeing this scene, Sword Saint, Kiyone, and other first-time visitors to the Meltaria Kingdom were surprised.

“You are very popular.”

“When the Iron Knights Corps joined the Triple Alliance, we were welcomed with open arms, but not as much as this. That’s how much the Iron Knights are adored by this country.”

Arthur, perhaps flattered by their words, boasted.

“The popularity of Arthur, the genius swordsman and the most beautiful man of all time, as well as that of Linnecarlo, the princess and one of the Twelve Heavenly Masters is enormous. They also heard that the national treasure, Viktor, has returned, so I think the whole country is in a state of panic over the welcome.”

“If that’s the case, there will be a lot of people who will have a stroke when they find out that the number of the Twelve Heavenly Masters is increasing.”

“Yes, that’s possible. The people of Meltaria have a “me-too” nature, and a weakness for famous people’s names, so there could be even more panic.”

I said this half in jest, but Arthur agreed without hesitation.

As soon as we entered the palace, we were greeted by the king himself. Yudin looked more fearless and kingly than before.

“I am glad to see you are well, sister,” he said.

“I am glad to see that Yudin is also in good health. You seem to have acquired the appearance of a king.”

“No, no, I still have a long way to go. What’s more, I don’t see Yuta-san, what’s going on?”

He was concerned, so he asked before anything else.

“Yuta is on a separate mission, so he will be late. Don’t worry, the current Iron Knights will be dependable even without Yuta.”

“I am not worried about that.”

“Then, what is your concern?”

“Oh, no, I mean……sister’s future.”

Yudin replied tartly, as if he was still unable to stand up to his older sister, even though he has gained the stature of a king.

It was clear that the young king was aware of the seriousness of the issue of his sister’s future husband.

“Now, King Yudin, it’s time to talk business.”

I couldn’t listen to their brother-sister talk forever so I intervened.

“I’m sorry,” he said. “Yes, well, let me explain the current situation in Meltaria.”

Although roughly expected, the situation was a little worse than I thought.

According to Yudin’s story, the nations surrounding the Kingdom of Meltaria had apparently formed an alliance against the Elysian Empire.

If that were all, there would not be much of a problem for the Kingdom of Meltaria, but for some unknown reason, Meltaria was declared as a pawn of the Elysian Empire, and the alliance declared war on the kingdom.

“How big is the alliance?”

“Fifteen nations, with a force of over 12,000 magicrafts.”

“That’s most of the southwestern states, isn’t it?”

“Yes, the Kingdom of Meltaria is currently in a state of isolation. No real fighting has yet taken place, but it is only a matter of time.”

“In fact, since the Kingdom of Meltaria has nothing to do with the Elysian Empire, why don’t you explain this to that alliance?”

“I have already sent envoys to explain it to them. But for some reason, the misunderstanding has not been cleared up.”

I see, I feel something is going on behind the scenes……This is going to be more troublesome than I expected.
