Cheater: Second Sky Adventure
57. Talk With the King.
"Leo!" A woman's voice sounded from behind.
Leo turned his head and saw mom and dad running towards him.
"mother!"
Mom immediately hugged Leo so tightly that it made her a bit claustrophobic.
"mom's so proud of you, son!" mom's hug is getting tighter.
"stuff.."
"liana! Poor Leo. He can't call you clearly." I told you to let Leo go.
Hearing the father's words, the mother immediately released Leo who was about to faint.
"hufts.." Leo instantly adjusted his hunting breath.
"sorry Leo. I was not intentional."
"yeah!.."
His Majesty the King only kept silent on the conduct of the little Donovan family.
Father saw the figure behind Leo and only realized that the figure was His Majesty the King.
"blocks.." Father then patted mother's shoulder to tell her that the king saw their behavior.
"ahs.. Sorry I didn't say hello to His Majesty the King."
Father and mother bowed in salute to the king.
"no problem. I'm glad to see your family so happy."
Father and mother were ashamed to have shown anything shameful in front of the king.
"mother! Daddy's! I have business with His Majesty the King. So I'm gonna be a little long."
"it doesn't matter Leo. You serve first Your Majesty. We'll go around first." Father say.
"alright! I'm going first. Let's Your Majesty."
His Majesty the King nodded and continued on his way somewhere.
The mother and father who saw Leo leave with the king were proud.
"our kids are big!" I feel like yesterday he taught Leo to walk.
"yes! You're right."

Leo and His Majesty the King arrived at a building belonging to the Early Academy.
Everyone there was shocked when His Majesty the King, the Royal Witch, and Leo entered the building.
An officer greeted them. "welcome to the Early Academy of His Majesty the King. It's an honor to have your visit."
"sorry if it's a hassle. I want to borrow a room to discuss with Leonardo." The king pointed his hand at Leo.
The attendant looked to Leo and was shocked to see the figure of a Special Member of the Witch Association who had just been sworn in.
"ahs... Mr. Leonardo. It's good to see you."
"yes. It's good to see you too."
Officers then escorted them to the living room. "please honor your highness!"
They walked and entered a room with a sofa that was quite beautiful decoration.
Leo and the king sat on the sofa face to face. While the royal witch tells the attendant to bring warm tea but not to let the maid in.
"bring warm tea to his majesty and lord Leonardo. But no one comes in. I'll take it at the door."
The officer understood his orders.
The door was closed and he headed towards His Majesty the King. And the discussion begins.
"congratulations on your acceptance to be a member of the association." the king began the discussion by congratulating him.
"huhah... No need to be too formal. If there's only us." His Majesty is trying to get along with Leo.
The royal magician smiled and began to sit on the seat near the king.
"and introduce. He is Darwin. Although she was a royal witch, but she used to be my best friend." the king introduced Darwin.
"yes.. I'm Darwin. I am so impressed with your magic skills. It was unthinkable in my mind if you could use legend-level magic."
Leo laughed awkwardly at Darwin's words.
"so, what do you want to talk to me about?" Leo was curious about what His Majesty the King wanted to talk about.
"do you remember the mission I sent to your grandfather?"
"of course! The mission you gave to control the city of Kenji isn't it?" Leo ensured the mission he received.
"right. We'll talk about the mission in Kenji. Do you know the situation in the city?"
"i already know the situation. Even up to their relationship with the Counter nobles."
King and Darwin were surprised that Leo already knew the information they had just obtained.
"where did you get this information?"
"from my informant who I ordered to investigate the situation of Kenji city." Leo tried to keep it a secret about the group of Armor Notes that were his men.
"dad.. Thas right. They became the shadow power of those corrupt nobles. So, I need you to take care of the place immediately."
Leo wondered why His Majesty the King was in such a hurry in the mission that Leo was working on.
"why is the time accelerated?"
"it's because of the problem of your return when the news of your disappearance spreads."
Leo is increasingly curious about the relationship of his disappearance with the accelerated control of the city of Kenji.
The king continued his remarks. "by then they had already started moving and were preparing to stage a coup. Even according to royal spies, their preset time was one month from now. But everything stops because you're back and they start making new plans.
Scared if they'll come after you first before attacking the royal family."
" so you want me to have a place to form a defense first before they start attacking me?" Leo began to understand the direction of the conversation.
The king smiled knowing Leo quickly understood the situation. "you were right. And the place where you're making that defense is Kenji City. And weaken their strength."
Leo again thought about the acceleration of the attack time. With the fact that the enemy had intended to attack for another month even though it had to be postponed. Indicates if they are ready in terms of combat troops.
" so, when are you going to attack? Just chill. I will also send a secret army to help you."
Leo still thinks then before long he has made the best decision from the current situation.
"alright! I will be attacking two days from now. Also, there is no need to send troops to help me. But send them to guard my parents' territory."
King and Darwin were again surprised to hear the timing of Leo's attack. Two days was not enough time to prepare an army. Plus if the troops that the king would send were used to guard the territory of Baron Donovan. Not helping Leo's attack.
" ahem.. How many troops do you have?" the king was curious about the number of troops Leo had prepared.
"army? I don't have an army. Only six people will leave."
"what? In seriously? In the city of Kenji many troops are experts in killing. There was even one person who had an S rank." the king did not believe in Leo only deploying six people in attack.
"of course I'm serious. Since the six people I mean are Jack who is also an S rank adventurer, Elena who is an A rank assassin, Sylf who is an archer and also a healer, Brock became a tank rank A, Brock became a tank rank A, phinix is a new member of the Leonardo Corps.
Despite being a new member, he has powers that are even stronger than Jack. So it can be assumed if he has an S rank."
King and Darwin are completely shocked by the power of Leonardo's Corps.
" Leonardo Corps? " they were curious about what Leo meant about Leonardo's Corps.
" uh.. That is the name of my knight squad! "
Leo laughed awkwardly from a little embarrassment.
"you said there were six. Who's the sixth?"
"of course I am!"
