I Became a Farmer in Another World

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: New Encounter and Hidden Threats

"Phew, finally done," said Ryutaro.

After Ryutaro used his healing technique, the air around the palace felt fresher, and the king, who had been lying weakly, slowly opened his eyes.

The king’s wife and Alice looked at him, their faces filled with joy as they saw him regain consciousness.

"Darling, you’re awake?" asked Alice’s mother.

"How are you feeling, Father?" Alice asked.

"I’m fine. I’m sorry for making you all worry," the king, Alice’s father, replied.

The three of them embraced, celebrating the long-awaited day of the king’s recovery.

Charlotte, Aurelia, and Grace, who were also in the room, were touched by the heartfelt reunion.

"What a beautiful bond," said Aurelia.

"Indeed, coming here wasn’t in vain," added Charlotte.

"That’s right, good thing we accepted the request," said Grace.

Meanwhile, Ryutaro, visibly exhausted, sat down to rest. However, a nearby physician kept bombarding him with questions.

"Finally, I can rest," Ryutaro muttered.

The physician immediately approached him.

"Your name is Ryutaro, right? How do you know such a high-level healing technique? Where did you learn it? What other abilities do you have? Can I learn from you?" the physician asked eagerly.

"Please, let me rest for a moment," Ryutaro sighed.

The three women watching Ryutaro get overwhelmed with questions burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, the king turned to Alice and asked about their guests.

"By the way, Alice, who are they?" he inquired.

Alice immediately introduced Ryutaro and the others to her father.

"Oh, they are the ones who healed you, Father."

"Oh? So they are the ones?" the king said.

"That’s right, Father. The young man is Ryutaro, and these three are—"

Before Alice could finish, the three women introduced themselves. ƒrēewebnovel.com

"I’m Grace," said Grace.

"My name is Aurelia," added Aurelia.

"I am Charlotte. You may have heard of me before, Your Majesty," Charlotte said.

"Charlotte? Aren’t you one of the church knights from the Celestia Kingdom?" the king asked.

"That’s correct, Your Majesty, but that was in the past. I left the church," Charlotte responded.

"Why did you leave?" the king asked curiously.

Charlotte then explained everything from the moment she first met Ryutaro up until now.

"I see, so that’s what happened," said the king.

The king then rose from his bed and formally introduced himself to Ryutaro and the others.

"I am Gilbert Rosette, and this is my wife, Elisabeth Rosette. Thank you for saving my life, my savior," said King Gilbert, the ruler of Rosette.

Hearing the word ’savior,’ Ryutaro immediately asked the king to change how he addressed him.

"Please don’t call me that, Your Majesty. I merely healed you," Ryutaro said.

"You are truly humble. Very well, I will call you by your name instead," Gilbert responded.

As they were celebrating the king’s recovery, a shadowy figure watched from a distance, clearly displeased by the turn of events.

"Tch! He survived. We were so close to taking over the Rosette Kingdom," one figure muttered.

"Indeed. And who is that man? How was he able to cure the poison?" another figure asked.

"I don’t know. For now, let’s report this to headquarters," said their apparent leader.

The three figures then left the area.

Back in the palace, King Gilbert invited Ryutaro and the others to dinner.

"You must all be tired. How about we have a meal together?" Gilbert suggested.

Ryutaro and the others agreed.

"Sounds good to me. What about you all?" Ryutaro asked.

"I’m in," said Grace.

"Of course, I’ll join," Charlotte added.

"Where there’s food, there’s me!" Aurelia joked.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let’s head to the dining hall," King Gilbert said.

As they exited the king’s chamber, Ryutaro suddenly encountered a familiar face.

"You’re Ryutaro, aren’t you?" said the stranger.

"You... aren’t you Miyuki?" Ryutaro asked in surprise.

"You know her, Ryutaro?" Gilbert inquired.

"Of course, she was the one who always saved me in the past," Ryutaro explained.

"I see. In that case, we’ll go ahead to the dining hall. You two talk," Gilbert said.

The others left, leaving Ryutaro and Miyuki alone.

"So, why are you here?" Ryutaro asked.

"I was summoned to this world," Miyuki replied.

"Wait, don’t tell me you’re with Shohei and his group?" Ryutaro asked, eyes narrowing.

"That’s right. I also heard about you from him," Miyuki confirmed.

"Let me guess—he’s furious, isn’t he?" Ryutaro sighed.

"Absolutely. He’s very angry at you. Ryutaro, why did you make him mad? You always followed his orders without question before," Miyuki asked.

"Because he started acting selfishly. Of course, I got mad. He even challenged me to a duel over my woman," Ryutaro explained.

"Your woman? Don’t tell me... those three?" Miyuki asked hesitantly.

"Yes, they are my women," Ryutaro confirmed.

Hearing this, Miyuki’s expression darkened. She had feelings for Ryutaro but tried to stay composed.

"I see... So, you’ve found people who truly care about you," she said with a forced smile.

Ryutaro noticed her eyes welling up and asked, "Miyuki, why are you crying? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, it’s nothing. My eyes just feel irritated," Miyuki said, quickly wiping her tears.

"Are you sure you’re okay?" Ryutaro asked.

"Yes, it’s just a small thing. Now go, they’re waiting for you," Miyuki urged.

"You’re right," Ryutaro agreed.

He then left Miyuki and headed to the dining hall.

Upon arriving, Alice immediately questioned him.

"Why did you take so long, Ryutaro?" Alice asked.

"Sorry, sorry. Let’s eat," Ryutaro replied.

As they ate, Grace suddenly brought up Miyuki.

"By the way, dear, what did you talk about with her? Why did it take so long?" Grace asked.

"Yeah, we waited forever!" Aurelia added.

Ryutaro told them everything, including how Miyuki had cried when he mentioned his relationships.

"So, she cried when you told her about your women?" Grace asked.

"Yeah, but I don’t understand why," Ryutaro admitted.

Grace sighed in exasperation.

"(Sighs) Are you really that dense?" Grace asked.

"I honestly have no clue," Ryutaro said.

"It means she likes you," Grace stated plainly.

"So she has feelings for me?" Ryutaro asked, shocked.

"Exactly," Grace confirmed.

"Then... I’ve made a huge mistake," Ryutaro muttered.

"Yes, and you need to take responsibility," Grace said firmly.

"Alright, I’ll talk to her tomorrow," Ryutaro decided.

Aurelia whispered to Charlotte, "Looks like we’re getting a new addition."

"Agreed," Charlotte chuckled.

Ryutaro could only sigh, realizing the situation he had just walked into.

After dinner, each of them was given a guest room in the palace. As Ryutaro settled into his room, he decided to ask his system why it had disappeared after the Alex incident and why it was suddenly back with so many changes.

What answers will the system provide? Why did it reappear after so long? And what will Ryutaro do when facing Miyuki tomorrow? Who is behind the plot against King Gilbert, and what are their true motives? Find out in Chapter 23!
