"The Mage King has arrived!"
"Yo."
"Please have a seat."
Said by a butler.
"Very well. For what is this meeting?"
"I only wanted peace. Will you two not form a peace treaty?"
"..."
The two Kings could only be silent during this time. As they could not respond to this person's wishes.
"You know, my country is recently formed. For whatever reason your nations are fighting for. Stop. I just wanted peace. Very well. Here is what I wanted. If you too still wanted to fight each other. I guess you have to form an alliance because I will declare a war on your nations at the same time. I could kill most of you while having no casualties on my side."
The two Kings had begun grinding their teeth. Of course, this person here is extremely powerful. They know that he could even kill everyone here at this very moment if they happen to offend him.
"So? I just want a better place. A quiet place. Though I am sadistic. I still love quiet places. And... You don't want my sadistic side to kick in. Do you?"
"No..."
They both answered.
"About the general I killed. I am sorry about him. I only did that as they fought me and I just tried to defend the villages I protected. I am apologizing for it."
"We, people of Gallensia wanted to have peace. But this King right here doesn't want it. We're proposing it for a long time. But he always refuses."
"King Arwana. Can you have peace with us?"
He could feel an extreme murderous intent from that gaze of Takao.
"Fine. But... If possible. Can you resurrect my friend? That is my condition of making peace. If possible."
"Had you recovered his body?"
"Certainly."
"Very well. The peace is formed. I don't want any more disputes between the nations. Is it possible, my fellow Kings?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Very well."
Two weeks ago.
Even before this conversation happened.
Many things had already been done on Takao's part.
"Martin. We need to talk."
"Ah! Oh... You're appearing suddenly. You'll give me a heart attack. Takao."
"Yeah. But I could revive you."
"Yeah..."
"Tell me about this."
He presented the paper with Martin's request concerning the barbarians.
"Eh? Ahh... Yeah. I mean that. You know... I feel bad for them being in the wintervale. So... I wanted to subjugate them and bring them here."
"But didn't they killed many people?"
"But we revived those people now, right? Let's give them a chance to live a good life. You know the cold areas. Right? It's hard to find food."
"I know. Very well. Let's go. Both of us. Let's take care of them."
"Eh? Just the two of us?"
"Yeah. You're more than enough actually."
"Okay. Alright. Let's go."
Meanwhile. As Claire is having a walk in a garden. Takao made for her.
"These are so beautiful! Ahh... My children. I'll promise to give you a wonderful life in a wonderful world. Oh, they're kicking!"
As she walks through the garden. She saw many types of flowers and plants. And there are also a few different types of trees. She saw a beautiful tree which she didn't know what it is. But it is actually a sakura tree Takao created using magic.
She looked around more in the garden.
"A dead flower?"
Since plants have life. She tried to give it life once more to let it bloom its beauty. Still. Her eyes are then fixed again on the wonderful sakura tree trying to identify what exactly it is.
"Eh? It... Turned into a seed?"
"What? Why did it turn into a seed?"
"I must tell Takao."
She looked around for Takao. In his office. In their room. She talked to Mello and said that he didn't know. Trying to find him she stumbled across the old mentor.
"What can I possibly help you. My queen?"
"Come on, mentor. You don't need to call me that."
"So. What can I do for you?"
"Have you seen Takao?"
"No... What do you need? You could tell me."
They talked for a while until then.
"Oh... Flowers. It turned into a seed you say?"
"Yes. It's kind of odd."
"Well. A seed is the youngest form of the plant. Could you possibly turned back its age?"
"Oh... That's not possible. I don't think... Sorry for wasting your time, mentor. I know you are practicing people. I'll just ask Takao about this."
"No need to ask him. How about trying it to me? You see. I am quite old now. Even though Takao gave me magic to heal myself. Wood and metal magic to create weapons. That healing is only able to get rid of some of my body's pain temporarily. If possible. Could you reverse my age?"
"Eh?"
"I prefer my small body when I was thirteen. Maybe you could please do that? Hehe. When I became older. My height skyrocketed than from when I was at that age."
"Umm... I don't think it would work."
"Have trust in yourself. That is the only key to success."
"Okay... I'll do it..."
"Alright."
She started concentrating. Though she didn't know what happened to the seed before. This time she just let her magic flow out until she notices that Agu's age is starting to reverse.
"Wow. This is incredible. I am getting younger!"
Until a few minutes.
"Stop!"
"Yes!"
"Oh... Thank you so much, my queen."
"I am... Feeling dizzy."
"My queen!"
She then fell unconscious.
After then.
"Huh?"
"My queen. You fell unconscious. Please rest. You may have used so much magic for making me young again."
"Eh!?"
"What?"
"You're..."
"The mentor. Yes."
"You, you have a long white hair?"
"Yeah. This is my true hair color."
"We thought it's because you're old. You didn't told us."
"Oh. Sorry about that. But. Here. This is my hair color."
"Oh..."
"I guess you have to rest first. The babies will have a hard time."
"Okay..."
And she then proceeds to have a deep sleep.
