"What did I do just now" Mest spoke horrified in confusion as remembered how he easily he lost his crest and his domain.
"You did nothing wrong Lord Mest, you had to bow against a true king someday" Helix told Mest Meadrich after he watched the system screen.
"No, what was that pressure, my dear lord", Cecilia asked Helix.
"That heavy pressure was nothing but my internal will showing its presence, that's one of the specialities of my unique crest" Helix lied to everyone with a staright face without even batting an eye.
" Well I just spoke was basically true for some extent as higher lever crest lords can release their aura to make lower crest lords submit with that." Helix thought as everyone completely believed his lie.
"Now, Lord Mes..., apologies Only Mest Meadrich as you had lost your lord credibility, you can leave this land as soon as possible because earlier you have already been killed by me but today i am in good mood, so kindly leave this pace" Helix mocked him a little but gave him a Chance to save his pitifull life.
"As you wish Lord Helix" Mest Meadrich spoke after some hesitation and gone to pack up his belongings.
After few moments later of silence, they watched from the balcony as Mest Meadrich left the castle on a horseback with his servant.
"I kind a fell bad for him though" Kevin said
with some sadness.
"The people of this domain should be pitied not him as they suffer the consequences of this follish lord.
Sooner or later i believe, someone powerfull will have taken his crest" Cecilia said angirly as she looked at the path way where Mest Meadrich had left.
"My lord, what should we do about if other neighbouring lords doesn't accept you?" Cecilia spoke with some concern.
" Allow me my lord to talk with Viscount Minsef with this matter, but only if you willing to enter a contract with this old man"
Saturus spoke with some hesitation.
"There's no need to discuss with the local lords as first i have to talk with Earl Miller Constance about Cecilia's contact" Helix said rejecting Saturus advice.
"But about the contract i believe you should do it with Kevin as he still doesn't have a mage and i should leave this Castle's responsibility to him."
"Why me" Kevin asked instantly.
"I have heard before from Cecilia that your birthplace Sistinia, have Higer Abyssal energy concentration that makes it more prone to regular Abyssal disasters. So, you want to rule over it by taking over viscount Rossini lord's place." Helix explained him for confirmation.
"Yes, but what does it had to do with me ruling over this domain" Kevin asked with confusion.
"You have to quite adept in managing the domain, so why not start it from here and you can also have an experienced and contracted mage guiding you." Helix told him what was going through his mind.
" Well fine then, I will contract with the old man Saturus" Kevin accepted this.
"Excellent decision, Kevin we will talk about your submission crest after i will take over another nation after some time" Helix told him while he patted Kevin on his shoulders.
"Retainer Saturus, you don't have a problem with this do you?" Helix asked as formality.
"No i don't mind serving a young lord as him, i can see his potential too" Saturus nodded.
"Well then, you both can discuss this together as i am going to rest." Helix said to them clearly.
"The sun has already begun to set, Let's go Cecilia" Kevin commanded Cecilia.
As both Helix and Cecilia were passing through various corridores to reach their destined newly arranged and cleaned room, suddenly helix spoke.
"Cecilia what do you think , we should talk with the neighbouring lords or joined one of the factions" Helix voiced over his concern.
"I think, we should join the Militia alliance over peace union. Militia alliance believes that to end this era of Abyss, the Grancrest will only manifest if the Atlatan Continent is united through military force.
Peace union aim is to unite the Atlatan Continent through peace dialogue in order to form the Grancrest and end the era of Abyss." Cecilia explained in details about their aim.
" The Eurazania Continent favours peace union but we should join the Militia alliance as your goal is also to dominate the entire era. Am i correct my lord?!!" Cecilia continued as she asked me.
"you are right about that but if i join the Militia alliance over peace union, enemies will surround us like wolves grouping over a dog. As it's my goal from the beginning to rise from this lords competition by raging wars." Helix affirmed her conclusion.
"As i expected from my lord, i should call my sister for reinforcement as someone will come to fight us for territorial domination" Cecilia thought as she continued to walk.
"Looks like the moment i will announce my decision to join with the alliance, greedy wolves will come for the piece of meat, this is a good way to spend some time"Helix thought as he passed through the hallway.
Both Helix and Cecilia chuckled in their minds over their special situation.
The moment they reached the room, Helix immidiately put a hand on Cecilia's thin waist and put her on his lap as they sat on the bed.
"What are you doing my lord!!" Cecilia asked
him with a tired expression.
"Don't worry, I didn't have the plan for sex today, so just let's sleep together". Helix said as he laid on the bed putting Cecilia's small body above his broad muscular chest.
"Umu" Cecilia hummed slowly accepting his choice.
Then, they slept together in each other embrace as Helix has his arms wrap arround her moderate size chest.
*******
In another room of the castle,
Kevin and Saturus have discussed their problems and currently getting ready to perform a contract ritual.
"Lets begin, young lad.
Saturus grabbed Kevin's hands and recited-
"I Saturus, retainer of this castle hereby enter into contract of the crest of knight Kevin dono and swear eternal aligance to him". Saturus bowed to him as they completed their mage ritual.
"Now, you should rest around as our contract is completed. From tommorow on you will learn with me about the duties of the Lord" Saturus told him to sleep as tommorow Kevin's hard work will begin.
"As you wish elder" Kevin thought as decided to rest and respectfully bid him farewell.
Tommorow morning, news of the rise of a new baron Rank lord is reached to all other neighbouring nation lord's.
