Being Strong On Your Own

Chapter 32: The Wanted

Grey meets the others again, he has told them to go first but they seem to choose to wait for him to go to the last hiding place.

"You guys really."

"It is not fun if the leader of this group does not exist" Arina replied.

"I'm not the leader," Grey's rebuttal was not heard at all, Anabeth also chose to agree with Arina.

As for Eir just tilting his head.

There was a lot of trouble Grey got but he chose to save it later, they had entered the lower channel hallway of the city and saw an iron door that looked unopenable.

At least that was true for them except for Eir, he touched the wall and something like a rowed button appeared, he pressed down on it quickly and in an instant the iron gate opened which produced white steam around him.

Inside was nothing but a rifle that looked intact, weighing about a ton with a long barrel.

"So this is the old weapon?"

"Right, we can use it by entering this ammunition."

Arina's already taken a very big bullet. The bullet could absorb magic energy because that was very dangerous.

"There's only one?" said Anabeth.

"It doesn't matter that I can make another bullet and I think Eir can bring that gun to us."

"For me it still feels light" he said.

Grey has always worked on his own and now he's a little bit happy that he could get some people to help him.

They returned to the kingdom of Vardes and within hours of their arrival, Grey had gathered everyone from the order of knights, queens, and of course his companions.

It's morning but it's not really morning, just a few minutes until the sun rises more precisely.

"Sorry to bother you earlier."

"No problem, could it be that actually Mr. Grey wants to see us dressed in pajamas."

Grey explains the Neira kingdom, about the knight army he freed and what he wanted to choose.

"So, relying on weapons to destroy the red moon is still not enough" Flarisa said.

"True, the king will sacrifice the people on the border which is why I can't let him. Otherwise mind if you will take them all as new inhabitants of this kingdom."

"If it can help them, I don't mind at all, it's just."

Grey tilted his head but Arina already knew what was happening at the moment so she cut the conversation.

"Controlling the queen by giving orders is a crime, everyone will know that the thought comes from you not the queen, then it will happen where one will not trust the kingdom anymore and at worst it will create a coup."

"Can it be like that?"

"Of course, after all, the city is already in a slump if someone controls a leader they acknowledge how they feel."

"On that?"

"But there's certainly a path you can choose, the only thing you have to do is marry Queen Flarisa and become king."

Grey looked surprised by such a statement, he went back and forth between Anabeth as well.

"If it's with Mr. Grey, I don't mind. Mr. Grey can also take Miss Anabeth as a concubine."

Anabeth coughed.

"Ugh... It's a hard choice but if Grey decides it I don't mind sharing it with Flarisa."

"Eh, wait.. When did you know that I like you?"

All the women from this royal knight sighed softly.

"It's also clear, no."

Those words had brought Grey down, he was completely innocent.
