I Am No King's

Chapter 197 – Declaration

~Maila POV~

"GET RID OF ME! YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU'RE DEALING WITH!"

This king is really disrespectful. He was saved but still wanted special treatment.

"Fool king, can you shut up, can't you?"

"Ra, stupid King?"

Ukin silenced the King with an insult. And, fortunately, the insults managed to silence the King easily.

Right now, we are in a meeting room. This place was almost as large as the previous Alhold meeting room used by Enlil. Some attendees of the meeting did not change, some others changed.

In order to prevent additional fatalities, this time, they did not bring any inexperienced men. In this room, sitting at the round table were representatives of Apollo, Orion, Quetzal, and me.

Inside the room, there were four new faces. The first was a man with long straight hair and fell down, as if his hair was very heavy. His face can be said to be flat. What I mean flat is almost expressionless. He sat down while Karla stood behind him. He introduced himself as Leto, the leader of Apollo.

The second new face is a mature brown-skinned woman with short white hair, not covering the ears. He has green eyes with sharp eyes, like a predator. Her clothes, I can say, are very open, even more open than Karla. He was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt tied to his chest, showing his cleavage and stomach. Even she was also wearing pants that, in my opinion, were like panties. It was as if he was wearing jeans. He introduces himself as Stella, the leader of Quetzal.

For the third and fourth new faces, they were the bodyguards of Stella and Constel. Two men with similar stature, bald with full bodies of muscles.

So, inside this room, there were a total of 9 people. Four people were seated, four were standing, and one was tied up at the end of the room.

"So, it turns out, the secretary is the mastermind, huh?"

"Yes, that's how it is," I replied Constel. "What I didn't expect was that Quetzal finally chose to participate in this inter-organizational war."

"Well, Guan has already participated on Sarru's side, right? It would be weird if Quetzal just kept quiet."

"And, what's the reason Quetzal chose this side?" Leto asked.

"balance only. Not more."

Actually, I'd like to ask you more about Stella's motives. However, I undo it. If asked too many questions, there is a possibility that he even moved to Lugalgin's side.

"So, what's the plan?"

"The plan is–"

A ringing sound appeared. Not just one person, but all. Without waiting for permission from the other party, each person took a smartphone in his pocket, including me. The ring gave a notice sent to all the royal numbers, a warning. I was really surprised by what I saw. I really didn't expect this to happen.

"How about we watch the broadcast first?"

Ukin, without waiting for an answer, turned on the big screen television next to the room. Stella was forced to turn the chair because she had turned her back on the television.

As soon as the television was on, a reporter was seen broadcasting the news.

[Imviewers, at this time, the royal side will give a statement regarding the massive attack on the palace complex that occurred a while ago. Let's listen together.]

The picture spit from the reporter into the interior of the room with a long table at the end. Behind the table, two knights sat on the left right end. They wore heavy armor that was commonly used on the battlefield.

However, what surprised me was the two figures among the knights. On the left, there was Lugalgin. He was wearing igni and kevlar clothes. Behind him, there was a huge coffin.

Next to Lugalgin, there appeared a beautiful female figure with soft pink hair. The woman, none other than and no not, was the consort of Rahayu. However, I can't say it's good. His body was full of bandages. In fact, the bandages on his neck and left arm were still bleeding. In addition, his left hand was in a cast. Sweat seemed to flow all over the body of Empress Rahayu.

I watched the broadcast carefully. Empress Rahayu's eyes moved to and fro, not fixed. Occasionally, he glanced towards Lugalgin. However, in a short time, his gaze returned to the front.

"Suckers! Lugalgin, what have you done to Rahayu?"

The only response was Fahren. He berated Lugalgin who appeared next to Rahayu.

[Good night, happy citizens of Bana'an Kingdom. Good evening, the reporters who have been sent to the center tonight. Just a moment ago, there had been such a terrifying and inhumane attack. There have been casualties on both the part of the royal family and also employees working in the palace. To the families of the victims, I offer my deepest condolences.]

Empress Rahayu paused for a moment, taking a deep breath.

[In addition, this attack, has also claimed the life of His Majesty the King.]

Live broadcast sounds boisterous, crowded. All the reporters immediately asked the truth of the news.

[I also find it hard to believe. However, the body of His Majesty the King had been found a while ago by the rescue team.]

Empress Rahayu stopped. She wiped her tears and her voice. Beside him, Lugalgin stroked the Empress's back. There may be a reporter who realizes, maybe not. However, the Empress' body was briefly tense when Lugalgin's hand touched her back.

Suddenly, Lugalgin took over the press conference.

[I apologize profusely. However, at this time, Empress Rahayu's condition was not very suitable to answer all questions. There are some things I have to say. For the record, I'm here to represent the kingdom's intelligence. Actually, I've started working with intelligence since winning the battle royale. And at this time, since I was the future husband of the Emir, I was chosen to accompany Empress Rahayu. And please don't ask the Emir. It's obvious he's not okay.]

From a long time ago, I was always amazed by Lugalgin's ability to lie. He can lie without taking his eyes off. In fact, there was no pause of sound or sweat on his body. You'll never know if Lugalgin is lying unless you know the facts.

[First, since His Majesty the King has been killed, for a while, the royal throne will be held by Empress Rahayu. The throne will be given to the crown prince or other princes once they are found.]

Lugalgin continued, [Second, regarding the mastermind of this attack. Based on information gathered by Royal Intelligence, we have found that this attack was orchestrated by several rebel and separatist groups. Unfortunately, these groups never came to the surface. Although the existence of these groups is only limited to urban legends or rumors, unfortunately, these groups are really real.]

Urban Legends? No way! What he means–

[Citizens must have heard their names either once or twice. In this attack, we found three groups that were behind it. During this time, the Kingdom tried to dialogue and meet them. But unfortunately, tonight's attack shows they don't want to have a dialogue. Therefore, we declare the Kingdom of Bana'an will pursue and punish these groups.]

Nah! No way! Is he really serious?

[The names of these three groups are Quetzal, Apollo, and Orion. They are responsible for tonight's attack that resulted in casualties]
