SHERRY'S POV:
The atmosphere here was only tense for a moment when Eiji was summoned by Gladius, now the atmosphere is back to how it was before.
Am I the only one thinking about Eiji? I looked around, no one was worried, every move I made was always reminded of Eiji, and why should I think about him after all he also belonged to Loraine and that shadow girl.
"Gladius is the royal guard, right? "I asked my friends who were still having fun, they were still eating and laughing after being visited by Gladius.
They stopped and looked at me, Tessia smiled slightly, Loraine and Wein just looked at me casually, "Yes, they used to be royal guards and they were all very strong. Tessia answered.
"I-" I didn't have time to say a word. Wein immediately answered and said, "You, don't need to think about Eiji, he's strong. " Wein replied laughing and unconscious like someone who was drinking alcohol, making all the eyes there look at Wein.
"Weine." Tessia shouted his name firmly, bringing him back to his senses. "Ah, sorry, I think I overdid it. "
"I'm not sure Eiji can fight Gladius alone. With a worried expression Loraine stood up while raising her glass, of course she was worried about the person she loved, Loraine sat back down after refilling her glass with water.
"I'm not sure either. Tessia answered with a slightly worried face, I feel great pressure from here, even though the meeting room is quite far from the dining room.
"You guys feel it? Loraine woke up her legs shaking, as did the others, like an aura battle was going on, but this wasn't Eiji's aura.
"This is A—" Tessia hadn't finished speaking, we bowed to the ground, without anyone to respect in front of us, we bowed like we were honoring the darkness under the dining table, I know whose aura this is.
EIJI LEWYIIN'S POV:
The aura given by the 2 Gladiuses was very terrifying, I hadn't even opened the door, the aura was already this strong, was it because of this that none of my troops dared to stand near this door.
"Come on, open the door, are you afraid little kid. "Sherlyn mocked me because I had just been standing and staring at this door and not opening it.
I grinned slightly and said "The assistant was the one who opened this door for the boss. "I answered in a joking tone, I saw Sherlyn's annoyed face, she touched the doorknob and changed her expression, becoming flatter.
Looks like I have to enter with my shadow aura, I change my expression to be flat with a sharp gaze, my eyes turn dark purple, accompanied by a shadow aura around me.
Sherlyn opened the door, the strong aura that came out shocked me, it was like a hungry monster that had been locked up for years, the 2 female Gladiuses were sitting on the round table chairs with a tense and scary atmosphere, they stared at the entrance with sharp gazes, Istepped inside while suppressing a strong Aura, causing the surrounding window glass to shatter and several wooden tools to almost break.
The two Gladiuses fell from their chairs and shook because their bodies were unable to withstand my aura, even though if they just obeyed my aura's wishes, maybe their bodies wouldn't be in pain.
"P- Please Stop. "Pink-haired Gladius replied, it seems I went too far, I stopped pressing my aura, not only because their bodies were about to be destroyed but this palace also looked a little damaged.
I walked towards the king's chair, maybe 2 of them could defeat me if they attacked together, I sat in the most luxurious chair, a dark chair with luxurious decorations.
The atmosphere in this room was very tense, a situation where we were all staring at each other, no one wanted to speak first until Sherlyn spoke.
"Let me introduce, I am Sherlyn Darknion II, I am here as His Majesty's right hand, and I am honored to meet the gladius members. Sherlyn bent down to introduce herself, she was very different, it turns out this little boy could also be serious.
"Thank you, —" Sherlyn made Gladius who was talking stop talking.
"S- Sorry before that. Sherlyn walked towards the window carrying some notes.
Sherlyn walked over to the window, the glass had been broken because of my aura, the photo frame was broken, Sherlyn pressed several buttons there, 'Hang!!!!' make the windows covered with dark steel.
"This way you can have discussions or something like that without thinking about whether anyone is listening. Sherlyn spoke flatly but let out, I just realized that Sherlyn was carrying double daggers on her waist.
"Okay, can we start? " Asked one of the Gladius while straightening his clothes, and changing his expression to a slight smile, the two of them are very similar, the right one has pink hair and the left one has light blue hair.
I started to speak with a cold gaze and a voice that was neither too big nor too small, "So, what made 2 Gladius Members come to my palace. With a cold gaze I stared.
"Before I tell you, let us introduce ourselves. " With a bow, they began to introduce themselves, the pink haired one with a beautiful and elegant face introduced herself, "I am Akylaa Doreion, I am honored to meet you your highness."
He bent himself towards me.
And the one with light blue hair that is not too long and a face that is beautiful and sweet or funny. "I am Kylaa Doreion, nice to meet you, Your Majesty. bowed and sat back down.
"I, Eiji Lewyiin King of this kingdom and also the realm of darkness. "I bowed my body slightly, they looked at me strangely because I bowed my body to them which I shouldn't have done because I am the highest and most powerful.
I sat back down and spoke, "What brings you to my palace? "
Akylaa spoke with a slightly calm and relaxed gaze, "We are just here to assess who is worthy to be king, the Spade kingdom and its cities are being rebuilt, so we need a leader for the next Spade. "
Something I never thought about, rebuilding the Spade Kingdom involves a big risk, whether the resources are enough and whether they have enough people.
Not to mention the monsters that appeared, Kylaa looked at me, "You don't need to think about it, Your Majesty. "I guess I look like I'm thinking about the Spade Kingdom
"So you went to the six kingdoms that stand around the Spade Kingdom to assess their king? I asked coldly, Sherlyn looked at me.
"That's right, Your Majesty, and your kingdom was the last one we came to—" Before finishing speaking, Kylaa stood up and covered Akylla who was speaking.
"Because Akylaa was afraid when she saw this kingdom, and when we entered this kingdom it was beyond our expectations, we didn't expect there to be many royal guards, because other kingdoms don't have this many. Kylaa spoke quickly and had a slightly tired face.
Kayla's face crumpled, and she pushed Kayla back into her seat. "Sorry for the rudeness, Your Majesty. he stood up from his seat and bowed low towards me.
"You guys respect me too much, I'm not even of legal age to drink alcohol in the Spade Kingdom, talk whatever you want. "With a smile, I let go of my sharp gaze and changed my eyes back to brown.
Their confused faces looked at each other, Kylaa asked again. "How old are you your highness? He asked with his curious expression.
"I am 17 years old this year. "With my expression that gave rise to a bit of a child's expression.
"Eh— 1- 17 Years Old? "I was the one who looked uninterested and immediately hit the table and suddenly stood up, Kylaa looked at me with a slight smile.
"Ahm, I'm sorry. "Her face turned red with embarrassment and sat back down, Kylaa was confused because Akylaa was so shocked when she found out that I was only or almost 17 years old.
"Forgive us for asking this, now we just want to-" The sound of the guards shouting outside was knocking on the door, she knocked hard on the door, Akylaa who had not finished asking suddenly stopped.
"Let me open it. Sherlyn walked towards the door and opened the door. The royal guard who looked pale and scared entered the meeting room, Akylaa was already holding her spear and Kylaa was already holding her trident.
the guard was very scared and panicked, "What happened. asked Kylaa who walked over to the frightened royal guard.
I stood up from my chair and walked towards the soldier, he was really scared, I asked him the same question as Akylaa asked this soldier.
He started speaking quickly and incoherently, "M- The monsters outside don't look like monsters anymore, k- this time they're stronger. "I, who heard it, immediately told Sherlyn to open the steel guard on the window, "Sherlyn, open the steel guard on the window. "
Sherlyn didn't answer anything and immediately ran towards the button, while the two gladius members were still asking the soldier several questions.
The steel on the window was only half open, a terrible sound as if they were the strongest went straight to my ears.
The window steel was almost fully open and I could already see a view I had never seen before.
The bright daylight had turned dark, storm clouds covered the clear sky, and thousands of monsters no, it wasn't like monsters, more like Cursed beasts.
There are thousands of them roaming outside the walls of my kingdom, they are not strong but with their numbers many of the strongest people in Spade dome will die, they are the same as class B monsters but more vicious.
Akylaa and Kylaa looked at that with a frightened look, they both held the weapons in their hands tightly.
