[Human Empire Encampment]
As the Queen Empress of Eldion Empire, Queen Empress Evelyn must always keep up her face to avoid humiliation that would stain the Empire's image
As a rightful daughter of the previous King Emperor her father, Queen Empress Evelyn was always the first one who engage of such situations if needed, thus just like now in order to keep the alliance together with the Beastman Country the Queen Empress herself always humbles itself infront of them
She also had excruciating beauty that others can't withstand even though she already middle aged woman, her people always admired her by a lot, in turn she is also the most respected person above the king Emperor himself who just married in to the family
Likely her sole daughter Lily Eldion was her only sole precious treasure, she was glad that her daughter managed to join the Hero's party and act as their mage healer, everyday she would get message of her deeds from her that really excited, but for some reason the the letter suddenly stopped sending them
She has not heard heard from her daughter for quite a while, she and her soldiers were quite outdated on the current situation of the empire, due to this she always or constantly pace up and down herself wondering what just happened back home
Just as this problem wasn't enough, she never expected that the Beastman hero was actually such a horndog that actually sleeps with women even though she's married or not, she heard news of this hero from her scouts and only one word can she describe him "Disgusting!"
Just at the right day at the right moment Queen Empress Evelyn was inside her tent talking about war strategy for the upcoming Demon's army that have planned to pass through their strait
"Your majesty! We need to put our troops on this particular position, in fact since we have already settled here then why not use the environment to our advantage? Don't you agree?" Asks her General
"Your right... . . " Said Queen Empress Evelyn

"Even though we knew that the Demon's would pass through here on this part... . . Why do you think they would do that? Don't they know that we are stationed near it? It's like we are totally being ignored" pondered General Roland
"Hmm... . . Indeed that is quite weird, in my opinion it's most likely that our allies are either concealing our location, forgot about us, or letting information flow falsely into our ears... . . Mostly the king of Grand kingdom is approachable, but ever since that Hero came into power, I'm quite hesitant to even talk in front of him" stated Queen Empress Evelyn
"I understand My Queen Empress, his charm skill is really troubling... . . But rest assured I and the soldiers before you will protect you always, I've served your family for ten years and protected it, I won't falter now neither are your trusted soldiers" assured General Roland
"Thank you for that assurance" thanked Queen Empress Evelyn
After that General Roland started to sneak in a question from her
"But your majesty! Don't you have a new information regarding the empire? Our soldiers are getting anxious! I hope nothing happened back there" said General Roland worryingly
"I know... . . Me too, I haven't heard from my daughter like forever" replied Queen Empress Evelyn
As they thought of that a soldier suddenly intruded inside her tent and informed her a news that made the soldier loose his breath and panting infront of the Queen Empress herself
"State your business" ordered General Roland
After saluting and showing respect to both the General and the Queen Empress herself, the soldier frantically told her the surprising news
"Your majesty! Your daughter... . . Your daughter... . ." said the soldier while panting heavily
Fearing the worst she asked
"What? What happened to her? Do you have any news?"
But what came next surprised her
"She's... . . She's here!"
"!!!"
"!!!"
"Your daughter... . . She's here... . . "
Soon after as the soldier said that a silhoutte suddenly entered the tent followed by the other silhouette, the first one immediately jumped up towards her and hugged her tightly that caught her in surprise
"Mother! Mother! I've missed you so much"
Apparently the person who hugged her was none other her prided daughter, this in turn left her speechless including the general herself
The other silhoutte inside the tent are a black haired man with a tinge of white layered on his head, coupled with his sharp calm red eyes, and the other is a woman not far from her daughter's and the man's age and quite attractive on her own way as her silver hair flow down along her waistline
Taking it slowly the Queen Empress led her daughter to sit down on the chair and talk to her, at the same time she wanted to inquire about the people that she brought, after all they may be spies sent by the enemy
"Alright... . . Talk to me" said the Queen Empress herself
"Firstly your highness... . . Who are those people?" Asks General Roland as he was really anxious about the two onlookers
"They're my trusted allies and friends back in the empire" answered Lily
Hearing that both of the human lived back in the Human continent, both the Queen Empress and the General sigh out in relief as they let down their guard and hostility infront of the onlookers
Following that Lily started to explain about the Empire's current location, including the sudden change of the Hero until the hideous plot of both her father and the Duke themselves
After hearing the full story the Queen Empress felt like her head was about to explode on how much stupidity the man that she was married into, if not for his blood she wouldn't have married him, somehow she felt like she have aged a bit after hearing the Empire's current location
Following that even the General couldn't help but rub his forehead at how much incompetent the King Emperor and the Duke compared to the Queen Empress herself
"Aya! Those damn old geezers... . . Here we are trying to brighten the image of the Empire with all our might, will suddenly hear one day that the Empire's image has already been tainted? What the hell are they doing?" Stressed out by the General
After that Queen Empress Evelyn glanced at the man who was treated badly by the empire
"On behalf of the whole Empire's army at the front... . . I apologize for my country ways of treating you" she Said
"Your majesty!" Exclaimed General Roland
"Mother!" Soothed her daughter
surprisingly instead of venting everything out on the Queen Empress herself, Kaido seemed to gaze at her deeply with his red eyes and calmly spoke
"I appreciated your concern, but I wasn't troubled at all... . . It may look like I'm running away but the thing is I was planning to go somewhere, thus I wasn't inclined too much on the empire, in fact i like playing against them... . . They move so like the chess pieces, so we'll organized but easy to disrupt"
Hearing that both the Queen Empress and the General was stunned by his calmness of the situation and his demeanor while talking to the Queen Empress
They both noticed somehow that the man in front of them somehow regarded as someone equal to him in terms of authority
Not like the typical Noble's, the General however took a liking to his bold attitude since it was quite hard to find such interesting character in the empire
At most they could have executed the man for his behavior in front of the Queen Empress, but the air of supremacy around him says otherwise
"Interesting" exclaimed General Roland
"Indeed" added Queen Empress Evelyn
After that the Queen Empress continued to probed on the situation
"Are you saying that you plan to continue this dangerous charade with the empire? I have already full knowledge of the current situation including the change of the hero... . . It may be strange for the hero to suddenly change after encountering the Archdemon but it happened otherwise" she stated
"You on the other hand view the empire as sudden threat, well I have no say if you want to employ your revenge on it since we did you wrong, but I hope you won't stigmatized everyone as you can see the people here are quite different back home" she added
"I understand... . . I'll keep that in mind" replied Kaido
After clearing that up the Queen Empress herself started to catch up with her daughter and have finally learned about the woman with the silver hair
As a show of respect Ingrid bowed towards the Queen Empress and greeted her solely
After observing the situation for a while, something eventually caught Kaido's attention as he gazed at the piece of Black Rock on top of the table
As he approached this carefully, he couldn't help but gaze at it intently as he slowly reach out for it
Of course his action greatly confused the other four as they watched him stretched out unto a piece of rock that has little significance to them
But suddenly they somehow noticed that a barrier was erected to envelope his hand as he reached out for the rock
As soon as Kaido erected his psychic barrier in his hand, all them suddenly viewed the stone as something significant that even made Kaido apply a barrier upon touching it, of course they weren't wrong on their speculation as Kaido marveled at the stone
"I... . . I can't believe it! Why is this thing here? Does that mean that this is abundant in this land? Inconceivable!!!" Exclaimed Kaido as he held out the rock up high against the light to see the little bit sparkling on the rock
Confused on what he's doing Ingrid presumably asked
"Kaido? What are you doing?"
Other followed suite as they found it strange for a guy to suddenly eject a barrier as he carefully admire the stone which can be seen normally on the road
"Kaido-dono! Does that stone meant something special? Is it perhaps a expensive and branded stone?" Asks General Roland
Hearing that Kaido immediately shot the General a questionable look as he said
"Expensive? No matter how many gold royals you prove this, it won't be enough... . . This thing is priceless or in other terms, it may have a price but it isn't enough for the whole treasury of your so called empire" replied Kaido
Hearing that everyone gasped at that knowledge as they heard that the stone was more important and expensive than the whole Empire itself
Soon the Queen Empress herself and Lily started to question him
"Then what is that kaido-dono?" Asks Lily
"Please explain" added by the Queen Empress
Finally wanting to boast, Kaido adruptly explained to them about the rock
"This rock or stone whatever, contains a kind of chemical much precious than your country" said kaido
"This stone has chemicals? Please elaborate since we're not the alchemist" said Queen Empress Evelyn
With that Kaido continued to explain it to them
"This stone contained of pure Uranium 235, a chemical used for nuclear explosion, a weapon of mass destruction, a sword of democles hanging over the heads of the humans" stated Kaido
At that everyone couldn't believe that the stone was that dangerous, they have never heard that the stone can become a weapon of mass destruction in their life, but since Kaido was the only person who knows about this stone then it can't be help but to believe him
"This one stone may not be enough to destroy something, but if you pole up its chemical by around 50 kg of pure Uranium 235 then it will be enough for it to produce an explosion equivalent to 1,000 TNT or more and destroy the empire completely erasing it from existence" said Kaido
"The explosion will be so big that it can be comparable to a world class magic that can shake the skies and the ground as if the whole world is aching and screaming in pain" he added
At that description everyone started to back away from the stone as Kaido continued to explain
"The explosion may be devastating, but the most dangerous of all other than the explosion is the radiation of it, it's radiation however can alter or mutate the DNA of a person and enough to turn anyone into a freak of nature... . . For example the Queen Empress having four eyes and lump ugly face one day after too much exposure of the radiation, this stone however is already enough to contain so much radiation that perhaps if the Queen can expose herself for a week near it, she may one day die unknown to her" explained Kaido
Hearing that General Roland became frantic as he checked the Queen Empress for any disability, at the same time even Lily was surprised by this and immediately ordered for the other holy mages to come and shower her mother with too much purification in order to cleanse herself of the radiation
The Queen Empress herself however after hearing this can only twitch her mouth as if she was suddenly slapped by reality as she scarily stared at the dangerous stone that she kept for a while
After seeing their frantic moment, Kaido couldn't help but be amused and laughed inwardly at how much they panicked
Seeing that Kaido was taking this for granted, Ingrid decided to stop this as she drew near Kaido and pinched his side while tilting her head sideways indicating something to him
Seeing her reaction, Kaido clearly knew what she meant and thus decided to safely ensure them
"Don't worry! I've already eliminated the radiation in this room a while ago! In fact this place is already radiation free, so you don't have to worry yourself" said Kaido as he held his evil laughter inside and the pain of having his side pinched again by the princess of the Ingra kingdom
With that wording the whole tent became rowdy again as Lily complained on how much Kaido intentionally cause panic among them
