"You should have understood by what you said, Cle." She didn't want Cleon to leave. "Sorry, Princess. There's nothing I can do anymore. I—must be a true Conqueror. Although I can't protect the princess, but I will contribute more if I become a true Conqueror. In addition, the princess could play chess with other warriors—or servants."Cleon smiled softly, the blonde girl in front of him didn't want to hear Cleon resign, Cleon was the one who always accompanied her when she was bored. In addition to being a gatekeeper soldier, Cleon was also often asked by The King to accompany his daughter to play. I don't know why. Maybe because the Princess was very close to Cleon since childhood so the King really trusts Cleon to make his daughter happy.
"You heard me, Cleon. Think Back." He was at a conference. Why does it have to be this way? He was just an ordinary soldier who had no major contribution. All he gave people was a smile, not a contribution. But when he decides to leave, a massive trial is instead opened for him. "Sorry." The girl with the scythe—Elysia raised her hand " yes, please." "Cleon doesn't want to leave the Royal Army. But he was too weak and had to leave." Said Elysia. All eyes are on her, what does that mean? "Can you explain?" "As is known, the entire Cleon family was killed due to The Curse Of The Abyss. I also know that Cleon isn't the only one who feels sad because there are so many people out there who lost their families to the curse. Cleon had made up his mind to challenge the Abyss deeper, meet the Lord of the depths and stop everything. Just like me. But your majesty, it wouldn't have been possible if he had remained a soldier, it would have weighed heavily on his mind." Elysia explained everything. "As we know, not so long ago, Cleon lost his only remaining family." Isn't that just a personal wish from Brother Cleon?" Oh, my god, he's going to kill Elysia.
"If you say it's personal-it's not. Cleon is determined to finish off Hades, to save others so that no one has the same luck as his family. That's his determination." The captain raised his voice. "Is that true, brother Cleon?" "That's right, Your Majesty." Not much to say anymore. "I disagree.." still, the Princess doesn't agree, she doesn't want Cleon to leave. "Hah, it's decided. By agreement of both parties. Cleon withdrew from the Royal Army, although this was unfortunate as Cleon was a very valuable figure." It's all over. He is now a true Conqueror. He did not care about the Princess's constant babbling that could be heard from the front seat. He will not be deterred by this 13-year-old.
From morning to evening they debate. Now they can finally get out. Hestia, the captain and Elysia become Cleon's supporters. As well as the other conquerors as well. "Rookie, next we will call you Bravo for daring to resign from the royal side. If the King so pleased, you could have been beheaded for treason. A man said, "Haha, that's not going to happen, Senior. Princess Callista won't allow me to be beheaded."Cleon Said. The gaze of the conquerors who supported him was no longer like looking at trash because now Cleon had decided to become a true Conqueror.
"Cleon!" A shrill voice sounded in the Conquerors ' ears, a 13-year-old princess ran towards Cleon with an expression of both anger and disappointment. "Princess."Cleon lowered his body respectfully, as did the other conquerors. "Stand up." Princess please. "Why did you leave me? Haven't we been together a long time?"Asked Princess Callista to him, to Cleon. "I didn't tell you to leave, Princess. I just switched jobs. Maybe one day we can play together like we used to, the difference is, there's no Chloe." Cleon smiled softly " I have an important task to finish off and stop this curse. No time to play for now. But someday. Sure." I don't know if he will be alive tomorrow or not. The Princess's look at him was very hopeful, she didn't want Cleon to die down there, but Cleon's determination was already very strong. "then marry me! Then you will be the next king! We can be together!" "Haha, sorry princess, right now even I can't think of that. Married yes, you have to choose an authoritative man. If it could be a nobleman, okay? Find a good guy, and he can play chess with you, okay?"Cleon smiled at her again. The words of children like Princess Callista were not taken seriously by Cleon, even though they were only 5 years apart in age, but still she was very young in Cleon's eyes.
"I have permission to resign." They left, leaving Princess Callista standing, a puddle of tears in the corner of her eye already falling. Her older brother was killed during a battle against the Kingdom next door, now Cleon, the person she thought of as her older brother also left her. "Everyone.. just a lie.. in the end it all left me.."
The sun has drowned itself. The sky was dark because of it. The headquarters of the conquerors or usually called The Conquerors 'building, or the Conquerors' Guild, Cleon is now located there. Celebrates his 20th anniversary. True, today, the day he resigned from the government, as well as the day he was born. He drank the Wine calmly, "It tastes good too." "I don't think you're immune to drinks, Cleon! A smiling blond-haired man approached him, holding two beers in his hand, "here, you have to try beer!" he said as he put the beer in front of Cleon. "Hey come on, Cleon.." Hestia came close to him. "Assuming you're old enough, it doesn't mean you have to drink until this late!" she came and grabbed Cleon's ear, who didn't know anything. "Enough with the drinking!"She said," Hey-hey.. come on Miss—Cleon has to learn too-hik." Even the captain is also drunk?! AAH! Annoyed, she let go of Cleon and walked away from the drunkards. "Take it easy Hestia, I'm quite immune to drinks. Things like this won't get me drunk, haha!"
(5 minutes later.)
"Now I hesitate to trust you." Hestia looked coldly at Cleon who was already heavily drunk. The smell of alcohol in this place - "Hah, why should I be in a place like this.."It's okay, Hestia, once in a while you should enjoy the party." Elysia approached her, holding Wine in her hand, but for Hestia, she gave her grape juice because she was not old enough. "Elysia was right. I'm gonna let Cleon go, but if he gets really drunk again, I'm gonna step on him."Sorry Hestia. Shortly after, came Cleon, although she smells of alcohol, but Cleon did not look like a drunk and immediately drank the water available on the table. "From now on I won't overdo it anymore." He said. "Know yourself." She just breathed a sigh of relief to hear it. "Thank you for inviting us to your party, Cleon, everyone is laughing, I'm glad to see it." Elysia looked at the people enjoying tonight.
The party this time was quite pleasing to everyone. Even if she is sad or sad, she will laugh. The party continues, until it finally ends the next day, with the condition of the Conquerors out of the building while rejoicing. They went home each. It's the same with Cleon, Captain, Hestia and Elysia. The four of them also decided to go home, because they felt the party was enough and too tiring.
