Five months has passed since the trial of the junior knight Thomas and his friend are training and studying like usual but suddenly they are summoned to the throne room by King Adam, Thomas arrives first, and he can see Uncle Arnold and King Adam have a worrisome look Thomas then ask "umm did something happened?" then uncle Arnold spoke you will soon know. After a few moments, Serena, Hans, and Blake arrive at the throne room and stand beside Thomas, who makes a line beside the red carpet. Blake asks Thomas "What's going on," Blake asks with curiosity in his eyes Thomas only shakes his head.
After a few moments, the door of the Throne room opened the butler, and the butler spoke "The Envoy from The Republic Of Ardonia has arrived" As soon as the butler finished with his words a group of 5 guys wearing military uniforms walked in into the throne room they glance their vision at Thomas and his friend and smirk with an arrogant manner. This behavior from them is annoying Blake but lucky Hans knew this was going to happen and he put his hand in front of Blake to stop him.
The envoy stops in front of the throne and bows to King Adam as a sign of respect before they say in a rather rude manner "Hmph, listen up, your Majesty. I am General Heinz, representing the mighty Republic of Ardonia. We've graced your presence with what you might call "good news." Then Arnold cut them short "Straight to the point every news from your nation is bad news".
Then Heinz looks at Arnol with a cold look "Apologies for the unfortunate state of affairs you've been experiencing. Allow me to rectify this situation by informing you that your liberation is imminent, thanks to our superior capabilities and strategic prowess." With that, the throne room is dead silent King Adam then breaks the silence "Pray, are you suggesting that you dare encroach upon my sovereign realm?".
A devil's smile slowly grows on the general face, and Hans and Blake's hand is already on the blade hilt "Take heed of my words, for they carry the wisdom of years gone by. The annals of history bear witness to our past triumph over adversity, and rest assured, we shall traverse this path once more with serenity and resolve" King Adam spoke.
Heinz then laughed at the statement "Ah, a hearty chuckle to acknowledge our past setbacks. However, brace yourselves for a paradigm shift, as we unveil this groundbreaking technology that shall undoubtedly obliterate any trace of opposition before us. Your defeat is merely a formality in the face of our boundless superiority" As Heniz says he takes out a weird-looking weapon the other soldier from the Republic also takes out the same weapon and points it at King Adam. "Farewell old king"
BANG
ting
The sudden bang sudden bang shocked the whole throne room as the weapon was used and aimed at King Adam and it was then received by something metallic hitting each other. Natasha standing in front of King Adam manages to deflect all the small metal balls coming from the general and his soldier.
The general is in shock as he sees a half-human hybrid manage to deflect the bullet traveling at the speed of sound. "Ah, how amusing! It appears that someone, against all odds, has managed to achieve the unthinkable. It's rather quaint to witness such feeble attempts at resistance" the general spoke as he glanced at Thomas and his friend who had already surrounded them. "Apprehend them" The order that came from Arnold made Natasha and his fellow Junior Royal knight rush towards the general.
"Hmph, as expected Carry on, Captain, and execute your feeble orders. Oh yeah, almost We will give your weak Nation 3 months" The Captain nods and a magic circle appears under them and teleports them away "No!" Thomas shouted as they escaped.
"Tsk, a bunch of cowards" Natasha is frustrated as they managed to escape Then King Adam spoke "Delacre State emergency, I want our army to prepare for the invitation if it is true they have more of this advanced weaponry like this we must be prepared for the future of our Kingdom"
"Yes my king I will inform the minister" Natasha bowed to King Adam and exited the throne room Thomas and the others followed their leader out "Thomas, Hans be careful" Thomas and Hans turned around and gave a thumbs up to Arnold and King Adam as they exist the throne room
"I want all of you to prepare yourself for the upcoming war as much as you can, as we have 3 months head start" Natasha talks to them with a firm voice and they nod in understanding her command. After she walks away Blake sighs "What just happened" Blake asks "I-I don't know I hear a loud bang Natasha is already there" Hans says She is also shocked at what just happened, Serena noticed that Thomas has been quiet since the throne room accident "Thomas are you alright?" Serena asks him as she leans closer to him.
"Y-yes I am fine but those weapons I saw similar ones in my dreams" Thomas answered Serena's question, "Dreams?" Serena asks. "Yeah, I'd rather call it a nightmare as it seems to feel like I am dying all over again and There is a person," Thomas says, and then all 3 of them look at him "A person?" Hans asks.
"Yeah," Thomas began, his voice tinged with uncertainty, "I don't know, but that thing always wears a dark robe and has this weird symbol on it."
"Ah, don't worry about it," Blake chimed in, attempting to dispel the unease in the air, "it's probably just a nightmare."
Hans nodded in agreement, his expression a mixture of skepticism and reassurance, "Yeah, it's most likely just that – nothing too significant."
Serena joined the conversation, her tone calming yet resolute, "I agree. Let's not dwell on it. Instead, let's direct our energy towards preparing for the impending war, alright?"
Their heads bobbed in unison, a silent agreement passing between them. With a shared determination, they dispersed each setting off in their direction, fully absorbed in the tasks that lay ahead. The weight of uncertainty still lingered, but it was met with a collective resolve to face the challenges of the future head-on.
