Chapter 10 - The Elves' Predicament (2)

(Author's Note: From now on, dialogues enclosed by an apostrophe represents a thought.)

Now then...

The distance from here to the [Elves' Forest] is quite large. I need to take care about the problem of reinforcements today or else, the reinforcements won't make it in the promised time...

I thought about 2 ways to convince the Royal Family to send reinforcements there...

1. I could use Alvi and Teacher Jane to convince them... or;

2. 2. Use force to convince them...

"Achoo!"

Is someone talking about me?

-----

Meanwhile, On the school hallway... Alvi and Teacher Jane was walking with each other...

"Did you know?"

Teacher Jane curiously asked.

"About what?"

"About Karin's aura..."

Alvi drooped his face.

"... That bra- Kid... I almost pissed my pants earlier... Damn him!"

"So you knew..."

Teacher Jane stopped walking. She looked at Alvi who also paused.

"Did we just saw a legend unfold in front of our eyes?"

"Maybe... No, Surely we did."

They both smirked.

"Should we ask for an autograph?... This might be our only chance before he gets famous..."

"Should we?..."

-----

At the same time...

"Begone, Kid!"

I attempted to enter the palace but was stopped by the guards.

Sigh. How annoying.

Can you guess what happened? I just scared them off with bloodlust that's enough to make them piss their pants and run towards their home.

It was a give since they annoyed me.

I then continued my relaxing walk and entered the palace. Everytime someone tries to stop me or annoy me, I grant the same fate as those three guards earlier.

Now finally, I'm in front of the King and his family. The Royal Family...

My face was not covered. I wore my school uniform and my identity was revealed the moment I saw my face.

"For what reason is this visit, O' Powerful One..."

'T-T-This K-K-Kid... W-where did someone l-like him come from!?!'

As expected of the King, even though he's screaming in fear inside, he's still confident and prideful on the outside.

It was quite amusing to watch since I was able to see through him easily.

"Haha! You're an amusing Old Man..."

Yes, an old man. The King, Deyran Farco, is 73 years old. He has quite a grumpy face if you ask me and a long beard that makes him seem like a magician.

"... Old Man..."

He seemed dismayed.

"I'll cut straight to the point. Send reinforcements for the elves. Right now."

"-- You rude bastard! What's with your condescending tone!"

The Royal Family just watched the situation.

A royal guard... No, he was a mere 'Captain'. He dared to speak like that to me. He's quite brave so I decided to tease him.

"I've been condescending ever since I was born. What can I do?"

"Hah! Then your mother who gave birth to someone like you must've been some beggar or prostitute that lives off of others!"

"..."

I was speechless. How could someone dig their own grave this well.

"KILL YOURSELVES..."

They all grabbed for themselves simultaneously. The unarmed Royal Family smashed their head on the walls and floors while the armed soldiers and guards tried to slit their throats.

"You shouldn't have insulted my mother..."

Baam! The door was smashed open and a tough looking man entered. He looked straight at me and immediately realized the current situation.

He attended to the Royal Family who were out of their minds and knocked them unconscious.

"Forgive me, your majesty!"

He then went to the soldiers and guards that were trying to slit their own throats and did the same to them.

After successfully securing their safety, he went on to face me.

'Who is this Kid?'

He looked at my uniform.

'A student at the Academy?'

As I looked back at him, I had a thought.

'Hmmm, he doesn't seem to be willing to talk this out.'

I then voiced another command.

"WAKE UP..."

And they all woke up. They stood dazed but shortly after they regained their sanity.

"DON'T MOVE..."

And they all stood still, unable to move everything including their mouths. They're still able to breathe though since I'm not a villain.

'He seemed unaffected by my commands. Should I raise the level?'

And with my dark aura oozing out of my body, I commanded.

"KNEEL..."

And he kneeled in front of me.

'!!! Even the General was unable to stand against this kid!'

'Moreover, B-b-black a-aura!!!'

The King couldn't believe what unfolded I. front of his eyes.

"Now then, shall we go back to the main topic."

The General knelt down with a face that says "I can't believe this."

"King... Gayran? I want you to send reinforcements to help the elves in their fight against the demons."

"Ummph!! Ummmpphhhh!"

"SPEAK..."

And with this, the King was able to speak his thoughts.

"A-ahem, O' Powerful One, Respectfully, I correct your words. I am called Deyran. Not Gayran."

"Who cares... Will you send reinforcements or not?"

I glared.

"I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEND REINFORCEMENTS TO ASSIST THE ELVES BUT THE SYSTEM HERE IS COMPLICATED, YOU SEE!!"

The King loudly voiced.

"I see. But was there a need to shout?"

"I'm sorry..."

The King silently voiced

"Now it's too weak... Are you playing with me? if you are then I'm sure you're aware of the circumstances.

"P-please... I-I am simply flustered, O' P-Powerful One."

This guy is really fun to tease.

"Then what do you mean that your system here is complicated?"

"I-In order to send reinforcements for the elves, the nobles would have to agree to this decision before we implement this."

"How is that complicated? You're the King aren't you? Why not just force them?"

I argued.

"S-surely you jest, I made this rule in the first place in order to obtain harmony between the Nobles and the Royal Family."

I stared at him uninterested.

"You mean, in order to protect your pride as King, you won't go against the rules you made yourself."

I approached him... His face against mine.

"Then what do you think is more important? The lives of the people here or that measly pride of yours?"

The King's expression was filled with despair in an instant. His complexion turned blue.

"P-please understand! O' Powerful One."

He bawled. Unable to go against my command to not move. He cried his eyes out in front of the crowd present in the room. Begging me for understanding.

"I was kidding. Don't worry."

"Huh..."

The King couldn't believe what he heard. After he made an unsightly performance in front of his people. He was extremely embarrassed.

I withdrew from him and replaced him on his throne. Afterwards, Acting as King, I gave them my order.

"Immediately, Assemble the Head of every Noble Families here. I will convince them myself..."
