Taking the Mafia to the Magic Worldchapter 645: guidance from the king

"I see... So Killian is friends with Vicente's younger sister, Nina." King Seidel muttered while the old man and the woman who always accompanied the king couldn't help but frown.

"Do you think he's up to something..." That woman was commenting to Lina when the princess shook her head in denial.

"I don't think so," Lina said confidently. "I've spoken to him, and I don't think he's up to anything. But you know how young men are. The girl, Nina, is pretty, and in two years, she'll look much more like a woman than a girl.

She's deaf and has a motor problem that makes it a bit difficult for her to move around. But perhaps that creates an extra charm for some men."

Lina had extensive experience with men's interest in women. Beautiful women like her quickly learned the truth about the relationship between men and women. After all, 'predators' would seek out beautiful women like her whenever they could!

Even though she was a princess, she had already dealt with the gaze or comments of at least a few dozen men!

She knew that in two years, Nina would be totally different from what the girl was now, and some men would look at that girl with desire in their eyes.

She didn't know what kind of man Killian would become. But he was a man, and being so close to Nina from now on, it would be natural if he developed some feelings of protection and affection for her. But for that to develop into something more would be as simple as the snap of a finger!

The king's right-hand woman understood what Lina meant very well, having even more experience with men than the princess.

"This could become a problem, Your Majesty. His Highness may not have bad intentions, but everyone here understands how young people are. It only takes one slip-up for the situation to become significantly complicated."

"Maybe he isn't interested in her, and they're friends..." The old man on the king's left said.

This mature woman looked at that old man and asked, with a funny look, "Do you believe that friendship exists between a man and a woman? Men can only be friends with a woman who doesn't have any attributes that attract them. Conversely, a woman can feel offended by not attracting the slightest interest from a man she likes.

Look at the problem we could have. If His Highness likes that girl, we'll have a problem with the prince having a relationship with Vicente Fuller's sister. But if he doesn't like her and she likes him, she might feel offended that he doesn't feel the same way. We'd end up with a similar problem with her brother."

"That..." The old man hesitated, but on second thought, he really couldn't disagree with that woman.

In his entire life, he and all his friends and contacts had only really been friends with women who were unattractive to them.

Such women were not necessarily ugly but had attributes far removed from what these men considered ideal and attractive. For example, some men liked short women. A beautiful, tall woman could be unattractive to them.

The king sighed as he listened to the two's comments before saying. "There's nothing we can do but warn Killian. Give him my message: if he gets involved with the Fuller girl, he'll have to take full responsibility and prevent a problem from arising between our family and Vicente Fuller."

"Wouldn't it be better to call him back to the capital?" Lina asked as she looked suggestively at her father.

"No. Vicente and Nina will find out Killian's real identity in the future. If I call him now, we could create a misunderstanding in the future. It's better to leave things as they are."

"Sigh, fine." Lina sighed as she left the responsibility of the matter to her father after warning him. "Anyway, I'm going to visit Vicente Fuller. Do you know where he is?"

The white-haired old man next to the king said. "He and Rory Point are staying at the Majestic Lake Hotel & Spa. They intend to leave the city in the next few days."

"But already?" Lina asked in surprise. "Your deal was settled so quickly?" She said, looking at her father.

"He has many plans in mind to prepare his family for the possible consequences of The Purification. It seems that he and the nobles of the Scott Province are going to build a special city near the border of the Snow Province to stop the monsters going to the Scott Province." The king said, aware of Vicente's plan with his allies.

In another situation, he could cause problems for individuals with such plans. But since he had made an agreement with Vicente for this young man to help protect the state, it wouldn't make sense for him to stand in the way of someone trying to do just what he wanted.

The king didn't really care how Vicente would fulfill his promise. As long as this young man stayed in the state and contributed during the worst of the crisis, that would be enough for the king.

The fact that Vicente had powerful men in his group wasn't a problem either. The law preventing the formation of groups for military purposes served to prevent organizations from trying to seize power in the kingdom.

But Vicente had no intention of doing so. His interest in these lands was financial, and he intended to leave for the north of the continent in the future.

The king could see that he didn't need to worry about Vicente and that they could live well with each other. As such, he pretended not to see what was happening in that province.

"Oh? Then I'll hurry." Lina said as she set off, leaving her father and his trusted advisors behind.

...

Later that day, Vicente and Lina entered the best restaurant in Grandis. They soon settled down in a secluded part of the establishment, chatting while waiting for their food.

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, who was dressed in a silver dress that showed off Lina's curves well, Vicente couldn't help but look at this beautiful woman with interest.

"Your Highness, do you usually have this kind of encounter with your family's partners?" he asked in a provocative tone while he had a suggestive smile.

She understood what he meant and laughed before taking a sip of the golden drink they were consuming.

"No, I'm not usually interested in having one-on-one conversations with my father's associates. But I can't help but be interested in a genius like you." She answered him while Vicente couldn't help but stare at Lina's beautiful pink lips.

He asked. "How interested are you? I'm not afraid of offending your father."
