Happy reading!
============
King Elmerr, who heard the declaration of war, just smiled and said to the man in front of him.
"Hahaha, don't think that just because you have a hero, you can suppress my kingdom." hearing what king elmerr said to him, he only replied in a cold tone
"hmph, hero is only 18 he is too weak for now, without him we would have enough to kill you." After that, he walked away, but immediately stopped when he heard King Elmer's muttering.
"Hehehe, actually I know for a fact that your emperor is dying." Hearing what he said, the man's aura gave off a suffocating killing intent in the room.
"You... Where did you hear that news, answer my question." King Elmerr who saw his reaction just chuckled and said.
"Heh, you should have guessed it, right... That there is someone you trust who is betraying the holy empire." Hearing King Elmer's words, the man immediately suppressed his killing intent, then he left the room without saying anything.
After the imperial representative left, King Elmer's face suddenly became serious and he immediately stood up and walked towards the outer door.
'Heh, I hope you all won't be surprised when we face each other on the battlefield...'
------------------------
After more than an hour had passed, Arthur had now cleaned up the giant creature he had killed, breathing heavily.
'Huft- it's so tiring, using that array technique with my current cultivation is too risky...' Arthur muttered in his mind, with Thea wiping the sweat from he face.
"Sorry, Arthur, I have to trouble you this time." Thea said to Arthur with teary eyes.
"It's okay, after all I was the one who was wrong, I had to involve you in danger." Arthur said to Thea while wiping her tears.
"Um, but that still doesn't change the fact, that I'm really a very weak girl..." Arthur, who heard Thea's words, immediately took her into his arms and said.
"If you want to become stronger, I will help you." After saying that, Arthur immediately brought his face closer to Thea's and kissed her.
"Uhmm-" Thea suddenly gasped in surprise when she saw that Arthur suddenly kissed her. Suddenly she felt an image appear in her head that made her sink into thought.
*Slurp* *Slurp*
Arthur didn't waste the opportunity to play tongue-in-cheek with Thea without her realizing it.
'This way, there are only two of my women who got the cultivation technique from me.' After more than a minute had passed, Arthur immediately separated his kiss from Thea with some saliva dripping around her lips.
'hmm~ ah, I really like the erotic expression on her face, like what Helena showed at that moment.' Helena, who saw Arthur's actions, immediately understood what he was doing, so she just covered her mouth while smiling.
After several minutes had passed, Thea, who had regained consciousness, immediately looked at Arthur with her red face while wiping her lips and said.
"u-uhmm, are you sure about giving me your technique?" Arthur, who heard Thea's words, just smiled and said.
"Don't you want to be strong? Then I will give it to you if that is my wife's request." Thea's face immediately turned red when she heard Arthur's words.
"h-husband..." Thea muttered quietly. But Arthur, who has sharp senses, immediately became very happy when he heard Thea's words towards him.
He immediately approached Thea and kissed her again.
"Mhnn~" feeling that Arthur was giving her an intense kiss, she suddenly became very happy and mumbled in her mind.
'Husband... Husband... My husband... Yes, he is our husband. I've decided, that I will follow Helena's plan about not letting other bitches get close to our husband...' Arthur who didn't realize that something inside Thea had changed from shy love to possessiveness just because of the words he said.
After 3 minutes had passed, they immediately separated with their breaths still panting.
"umm~ that was a really good kiss, arthur." Thea said to Arthur while hugging him. Which made him a little surprised when he saw Thea's unusual behavior. But he immediately ignored that thought, then he turned to Helena and the others while opening his mouth
"Let's go back to the blossom kingdom, I have some more business to do." After that, Arthur walked back towards the carriage with Thea holding his left hand.
Helena, who saw this, did not remain silent and immediately approached Arthur's right hand. Seeing that he was being surrounded by two beautiful girls with green and gray hair on both sides, he could only chuckle at their actions.
'ah, I love the feeling of their big breasts being pressed between my hands.' Charlotte who saw their actions from behind somehow made her annoyed, but she immediately ignored it.
--------------------------
The white-robed man, who had already left the borders of the Blossom Kingdom, immediately took out a crystal ball from his clothes. Then channeled magic energy into the crystal which showed a shining yellow light and showed a woman with stunning beauty appearing on the crystal screen.
"Your Highness, as you might expect, they rejected our request." hearing the man's words, her immediately asked him what he knew.
Hearing her master's question, he immediately told him about what happened in the Blossom kingdom and also about the betrayal within the empire.
Hearing the man's report, the woman suddenly became angry and said,
"Ars, come back soon, we will prepare to take care of the kingdom, as for the betrayal, let me find out." Ars, who heard her lady's words, just nodded and said respectfully.
"Understood, Your Highness." Immediately, he closed his eyes and immediately some wind appeared around him and coated his body. Then he flew at a speed that ordinary human eyes could not see.
--------------------------
More than an hour has passed since Arthur and the others boarded the horse-drawn carriage, now they have arrived in front of the gate with several soldiers there.
Arthur, who saw the strange situation, immediately told Sebastian to ask them.
"Sebastian, go and find out why there are so many soldiers outside the gate." Sebastian, who heard this, immediately got down from the carriage and went to ask one of the people guarding the gate.
"Excuse me, can you tell us about what happened here?" Hearing Sebastia's question, the guard immediately informed him of the current situation.
After several tens of seconds had passed until the guard finished his explanation which made Sebastian's face a little pale.
"w-what... How could the king violate the agreement with the holy empire, wouldn't that be the same as destroying this kingdom." Hearing Sebastian's words, the guard immediately replied with a face filled with fear.
"I don't know... If the king doesn't take care of this problem as soon as possible, then we will suffer because of his actions." Hearing what the guard said, Sebastian just sighed, and immediately said goodbye to him, then left there to return to the carriage.
Arthur, who saw that Sebastian had returned, immediately asked what he had heard.
Sebastian immediately explained this very chaotic situation to Arthur.
After more than a few seconds had passed, now Arthur, who had finished hearing Sebastian's explanation, just muttered in his mind.
'Since the king dares to accept the declaration of war from the empire, then he must have a plan, but I don't know what he is thinking...' After that, the carriage continued to walk towards the gate. Arthur immediately looked around and saw that people were panicking and preparing to flee this kingdom.
'huh... Of course they ran away, after all the opponent was a holy empire filled with hero and various other old monsters. Only a fool would believe that this kingdom would achieve victory.' Arthur muttered while smiling broadly while thinking of a plan.
'Hehe, it's still a chance to kill that spoiled prince. After that I'll have the charlotte all to myself.' After more than a few tens of minutes later, Arthur had now arrived in front of his shop with several people wearing iron clothes with swords on their backs.
Arthur immediately understood that they were royal guards ordered by the king.
'Hmm, did they come here to arrest me or look for Charlotte. I'd better just ask." After thinking for a few seconds, Arthur immediately got off the carriage and approached the guards.
"Hey, are you guys looking for something?" hearing Arthur's voice, they immediately turned to him and said.
"Yes, we are here to take the princess back to the palace." Hearing the words of the guard, Arthur grinned slightly and said in a disdainful tone.
"Heh, tell your stupid king, that the princess will live with me from today." Hearing Arthur's words just now, they immediately took out their swords from their sheaths and pointed them at Arthur.
Arthur who saw their reaction could only laugh softly and said.
"Hahaha, are you deaf? I told you that Princess Charlotte would come with me from today rather than taking her back to that dangerous place." Hearing Arthur's words, one of the guards immediately said.
"Don't joke, Princess Charlotte is the king's intelligent child, there's no way she would choose you as the person who can protect her." hearing the words of one of them, Arthur just smiled then turned towards the carriage and said.
"Charlotte, why don't you show yourself to them now." Charlotte, who was currently on the carriage, heard Arthur's words, she immediately stood up and walked down the carriage towards Arthur.
The guards who saw their princess there immediately approached her and asked.
"Princess, the king told you to come back immediately, so please come with us." Hearing the words of the guards, Charlotte's face immediately became cold and replied.
"Tell the old man that from now on I will follow this man." Even though Charlotte said it with an expressionless face, Arthur could see that her cheeks were slightly red when she said her last sentence.
The guards who heard Charlotte's words immediately widened their eyes, shocked by the fact that the princess had already found a couple.
"b-but, princess, the king wouldn't allow it even if it was the man you chose." Seeing that the guards were still determined to take her away, she immediately approached Arthur and hugged him.
Seeing Charlotte's sudden action, Arthur immediately understood what her purpose was.
'So you want me to act so we can really be lovers? Then I will join in with your game.' After that, Arthur smiled broadly and said to them while holding Charlotte's shoulders.
"Haven't you seen it, even your princess has said it, so why don't you just leave here immediately." the guards who saw their closeness, trembled slightly and said.
"w-what should we do now... If the king finds out that his daughter is with someone else, he will definitely kill us." Seeing that the guards' faces had turned pale, Arthur immediately said to them.
"Just tell the king, if he wants to get his daughter back he has to come and take it herself." Hearing what Arthur said, the guards became angry and retaliated.
"hmph, you're just a kid, we'll take her by force." After that, the guards started attacking Arthur with their swords.
Arthur, who saw that, just smiled and muttered.
"Heh, you idiots. Even though I gave you permission to leave without getting hurt, this is what you chose." After muttering softly, Arthur produced several daggers in the air, immediately the daggers shot towards the guards very quickly.
Seeing a very fast attack heading towards them, the guards immediately panicked. and try to avoid it. But it was too late.
*squirt*
One of them died with his body split into two. Seeing that one of their comrades had died violently, they became a little frightened.
"Now, only the six of you are left. So do you want to leave here or die? Choose." Hearing Arthur's emotionless voice immediately made them tremble and mutter.
"y-you guys, he's only one person, we can take care of him with the six of us!" Hearing the words of one of them, the guards who were initially afraid suddenly became confident again.
"You're right, we can beat him with just the six of us." Arthur, hearing that they wasted his chance to escape, became a little angry and whispered to Charlotte.
"Charlotte, can I kill those arrogant six of them?" Charlotte who heard that, just nodded and said.
"Yeah, just do whatever you like, Arthur." heard that he had obtained permission from Charlotte. Without thinking, Arthur immediately took out the sword in his hand and turned towards them.
"Hehe, I've gotten permission from your princess, so don't expect to be given a second chance, okay?" hearing Arthur's words made the guards laugh. But when they looked at Arthur, he had disappeared and only Charlotte was there.
The guards who saw this immediately panicked and immediately looked around. suddenly they heard Arthur's voice from behind.
"Die..." without being able to look back, they all died instantly.
"hah... Looks like the king will find out about this sooner or later. I really have to prepare to fight him." Arthur muttered while taking a deep breath.
Charlotte, who saw that, could only be silent for a moment and immediately approached Arthur.
"Arthur, are you okay with opposing the king?" Hearing Charlotte's voice behind him, he immediately turned to her and said.
"Yes... I can't possibly let you go back to that dangerous place." Seeing Arthur's serious face, Charlotte could only daydream for a moment and saw Arthur approaching her.
"Ya... Since you offered yourself to me back then, it's impossible for me to let you escape from my hands, Charlotte." Charlotte, who heard Arthur's words, could only swallow her saliva with her cheeks turning red.
Arthur, who was already in front of Charlotte, immediately took her into a hug which shocked her.
"h-huh, why do you have to hug me..." Arthur, who heard Charlotte's soft mumbling, smiled slightly and replied.
"Didn't I promise you to defeat that bastard? So I have to make you comfortable before that happens~" hearing Arthur's words made Charlotte's heart warm as she continued to feel Arthur's body in her arms.
'umm, I don't think I made the wrong decision, this guy really deserves me.' Charotte muttered to herself, smiling.
Thea and Helena, who saw that from inside the carriage, could only be a little annoyed by Arthur's actions but immediately restrained themselves.
"huh... I knew that sooner or later she would be his." Helena muttered quietly to Thea beside her.
"Yeah... As long as it's not a bitch, it's not a problem at all." Even though Helena was surprised by Thea's words, she immediately ignored them.
"You're right, as long as it's not a woman trying to approach Arthur for her own sake, it's fine." After that, the two of them got off the carriage and approached the two of them who were making out.
"Heh, perverted couple. How long are you going to keep hugging each other." Charlotte, who heard Helena's voice, immediately moved away from Arthur's arms.
"c-cough, sorry, I hugged your couple without your permission." Hearing the words that Charlotte said to them, somehow made them a little annoyed and happy at the same time.
"Never mind, let's go inside." When Arthur wanted to go in, he suddenly remembered the seven corpses.
"ah, I forgot about you guys. Let's clean this up first." several tens of seconds later, the seven corpses disappeared like nothing had happened.
'sigh- using Qi to remove a corpse does consume a lot of energy.' After that, Arthur entered the shop.
Sebastian, who felt abandoned, immediately got off the carriage and ran towards Arthur.
"w-wait, sir."
-----------------------------------
A day had passed since the holy empire's announcement of war.
Now that the various kingdoms had learned of this news, they immediately became wary of war from both sides.
In a place in the kingdom of Astrea, in a garden with a very beautiful girl sitting there.
Liliana was currently staring at the clouds, imagining the prince-like man she met on her 5th birthday.
"Huh... When will I be able to meet Arthur again, it's been 7 years since that meeting." Liliana muttered softly with a sigh.
But when he was about to stand up, he saw several knights running into the castle.
"Huh, what's going on? Ah, forget it, I want to go back to my room and practice."
Inside the castle, with King Astrea sitting there while looking at his subordinates.
"Sir, is there no problem with the war that will be caused by the two parties?" King Astrea, who heard the words of his subordinates, immediately gave them orders.
"Continue and monitor the situation for now, and send spies to infiltrate the Blossom Kingdom." hearing orders from their king, they immediately responded.
"Understood, sir."
In a place, in kingdom called Rumenia.
There was a tall man standing there while hearing the big news that was about to happen.
"Huh, I didn't really hope that King Elmerr would cooperate with the dark factions..." said the man in a low voice.
He immediately turned to the old man beside him and said.
"Go and tell my son that I gave him the order to go to the Blossom Kingdom." the old man who heard that, immediately replied.
"But sir, isn't the commander currently carrying out your duties? Should I take him back?" the king of rumenia who heard that, immediately said calmly.
"of course, go and tell him to come back right now." hearing orders from his king, he just immediately nodded and went out of the room.
--------------------------------
Currently, Arthur is with Thea in his room. With Thea who is meditating.
Several minutes had passed, Thea immediately opened her eyes and felt a large energy in her body.
"This is amazing, I can feel so much energy flowing throughout my body." Arthur, who heard Thea's muttering, could only smile and say.
"Congratulations, you are currently at the same stage as me in the first level of body tempering." Hearing Arthur's explanation, Thea was a little confused and asked what the body tempering stage was.
"What is body tempering stage? Is that a kind of strength level?" Seeing Thea's confusion, Arthur immediately explained it.
"Cultivation levels are divided into nine for the Qi Gathering and Body Tempering stages, when someone has reached the peak of the body tempering stage, then that person can create a core within their body which allows them to break through to a higher level of Body Tempering, namely Core Formation." Hearing Arthur's explanation, Thea immediately understood the level she had reached now.
"So that's how it is, does that mean a cultivator is much stronger than someone at the circle stage?" Arthur, who heard Thea's words, immediately replied.
"Not really, for example, someone who is at the core formation stage, he can only defeat a seventh rank of the circle stage unless that person is at the peak of the Core Formation stage." Thea, who heard that, immediately asked again about the stages of the core formation level and above.
"Are there still levels above core formation?" hearing the question from the green haired elf girl, Arthur just smiled and said.
"of course, but it's a little difficult, the requirement to reach that stage is that someone must manage their soul to become a holy soul." Thea immediately understood that there were still levels above core formation, she immediately became very happy and hugged Arthur.
"I really don't know what to say, but I'm very grateful to you, darling." Arthur, who heard Thea's last sentence, could only smile while stroking her head.
"Haha, we better get back soon or Helena will be angry with me." Thea, who heard that, immediately separated herself from Arthur and stood up.
"Yes, let's go to Helena's place." Hearing Thea's words, Arthur immediately stood up and walked out of his room.
After several tens of minutes had passed, Arthur was now standing with Thea and Helena on either side of him, looking at the five children.
"From now on, you will become magicians and break through to the first circle." The five children who heard Arthur's words, became very surprised and said.
"b-but, master, isn't it very difficult to reach first rank, with just one day's practice?" Hearing William's words, Arthur just smiled and replied.
"You don't need to worry about that, I have a potion that can make you immediately break through to first rank without having to practice." William and the others who heard Arthur's words, immediately became very happy while looking at Arthur with respect.
Arthur, who saw their reaction, could only chuckle and immediately took out several bottles from his pocket.
"Here, drink it immediately so you will immediately reach first rank." they immediately took the bottle from arthur, and said.
"Thank you sir." After that, they immediately drank all the potion in the bottle.
After a while had passed, the five of them felt a great energy flowing from within their bodies.
"hmm, good. Now hurry up and sit in a cross-legged position, then absorb all the energy into your mana core." The five of them who heard that immediately sat down in a cross-legged position and closed their eyes.
After more than tens of minutes had passed, they immediately opened their eyes and felt the changes in their bodies.
"Congratulations, the five of you have officially become first rank circle magicians." The five of them, who heard Arthur's words, immediately said respectfully.
"Thank you, sir, we will definitely not disappoint you." Hearing the words of the five, Arthur just nodded in satisfaction and looked back.
"Sebastian, can you help the five of them learn how to run a shop?" Sebastian, who was behind, immediately replied with a smile.
"Yes, sir, I will teach them until they succeed." Seeing Sebastian's confident face, Arthur just smiled and turned back to the five of them.
"Okay, you can now go and come with Sebastian." Hearing Arthur's order, the five just nodded and when they were about to leave, Arthur's voice was heard again.
"Wait, let Chloe stay here, I will teach her personally." Chloe, who heard that, was a little confused, but immediately walked towards Arthur.
Arthur, who saw that Chloe was in front of him, immediately stroked her head and said.
"From now on, I will be the one to guide you personally." Chloe, who heard that, was very surprised and said.
"w-why should I? Aren't they much better than me." Seeing the doubt on Chloe's face, Arthur immediately said to her with a gentle expression.
"There's no need to humble yourself like that, if I want to accept someone as my disciple, then they won't have the right to refuse, so understand." Chloe, who heard that, could only be silent for a moment and reply.
"I-I understand, lord." Seeing that Chloe had accepted him as her teacher, Arthur just smiled and muttered in his thoughts.
'hehe, I want to see what the descendants of the holy heroes are like.'
