I FELL IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Episode 18's

Kyrion clucked. Ever since entering the territory of the Western Assyre Kingdom, the eyes of the devoile kept following him and his entourage was like staring at a very disgusting lump of trash. I don't know how many vocabulary vows he heard along the way. Fyriel was just trying to cool his head and lock his mouth tightly, although in fact he was eager to test his Escudo weapon that had not scratched the skin of a single devoile all this time.

He and six other fyriel, including the messenger of King Atlura, have now arrived at the court of King Zodic. With their faces folded in half, the devoile guards led their way to the halfway room. The darkness that was so dense made the group of fyriel feel hot and uncomfortable. Of course, what other feelings would arise if they entered enemy territory?

"Honour to His Holiness Zodic, the darkness was sealed", the two bodyguards worshipped their king upon entering the room. "We brought guests, emissaries from the Eastern Assyrian Kingdom."

The two bodyguards immediately left and closed the door after King Zodic nodded. Staying King Zodic on his boneshake, a red-bearded devoile by the king's side looked very cunning, some servants, and also a guard who stood guard on the sides of this large room. Old Fyriel the envoy of King Atlura advanced forward, the others slowly forming a formation that allowed protection from all sides.

Kyrion straightened her back, putting on her golden eyes more alert. His hands were on standby near the sword sheath he had placed on the waist side.

"We have come here on the command of King Atlura, the supreme light, to give a warning to this kingdom" the envoy spoke in an old but loud voice.

"Wow.., whoa...." King Zodic laughed amusedly. "What's this about? Did I make a mistake?"

"Devoile has violated the boundaries and killed six people of our nation, both in violation of the agreement that has been agreed upon" replied the envoy undaunted. "Our king has been kind, just giving a warning that there will be no need for such a mistake to happen again."

King Zodic laughed. "Atlura is kind....." He departed from his throne, making the six fyriel guarding the messenger slightly stiffened.

"So you're really accusing me of guilt?" The devoile king grinned sharply. The red color in his eyes looks shiny. "Do you not know what really happened?"

The messenger's forehead was wrinkled. King Zodic stepped up, approaching the fyriel's entourage. Kyrion quickly blocked the path of the devoile king.

"Oh, the golden color in those eyes. What's your connection to the dark horse Atlura?" king Zodic asked lightly, as if they met on the street and had a small talk.

"I'm Kyrion, the son of Emerio," Kyrion replied briefly in a cold tone.

"Oh, the young man who had made my stupid son feel uneasy." Automatic Kyrion remembers his encounter with Eugene in the forbidden section of Deep Forest first.

"Cube you know, son..," King Zodic stared at Kyrion sharply, "The Devoile that entered your territory was Eugene, my own son."

"What?" Kyrion. "What do you guys want? Escudo Mine? That's why he went to our Escudo guard house?"

King Zodic laughed sinisterly. "Not."

Kyrion's jaw is hardened. "Faye...?"

"I don't know what the boy was thinking. Eugene and the girl are in a strange relationship, you know? And that night, my son killed six of your guards to meet that fyriel girl." King Zodic turned around, turning his back on Kyrion. A small smile spread on his lips. "So..., you're still saying that it's just our fault?"

The fyriel exchanged glances, it was hard to believe what they had just heard.

"Don't joke, Zodic...."

King Zodic's shoulders shook, holding back laughter as he heard Kyrion's bluff behind his back. Suddenly, as fast as lightning, the devoile hand threw a black dagger at one of the fyriel escorting the envoy of King Atlura. Kyrion's eyes widened, he was very surprised. King Zodic's dagger carried a dense darkness, piercing his victim right in the heart. Screams of agony soon filled the room, mixed with laughter blaring at King Zodic. The other Fyriel looks very panicked when he sees his friend's glow destroyed and finally the body of the fyriel melted into ash.

Kyrion snarling. While the others still looked extremely panicked, the young man immediately drew his Escudo sword and attempted to avenge King Zodic's attack. A very loud clashing sound was heard as the devoile king resisted Kyrion's attack with the dark stone armor protecting his arm.

"It's still too soon to fight me, young man."

A jolt of King Zodic's arm removed Kyrion's sword, forcing the fyriel to retreat several feet back.

"Go and deliver this message, just one sacrifice as my warning for Atlura," the king of Zodic growled as he pulled the tail of his great robe. "Keep that strange girl's hand away from my son, or I'll destroy your kingdom to the point of no silence!!!"

Kyrion still insisted on replying with the sword, but the messenger grabbed the young man's arm, holding him back to do further. Showing respect, Kyrion was forced to lower his sword. The usually soft face of the fyriel now looks tense and full of emotion.

King Zodic harrumphed amusedly after the fyriel messenger's entourage was left in his room. The scene just now was really funny to him, like a ridiculous and very stupid circus troupe. The red-bearded Devoile who had been sitting at the side of the king's throne was looking like he was holding back a laugh.

"Laugh, Venom. I know you've been holding him back from before." Venom the Western Assyrian Royal Counselor immediately let out a laugh while lashing out at his own thigh. "How could Atlura send such a weak fyriel to escort her messenger?"

"Atlura didn't mean that, it's just that the strength of their best bodyguards is still far below our ability," King Zodic replied in a dismissive tone. "Ah, and it looks like I should thank your daughter, Venom. If he hadn't killed those fyriel-fyriel last night, the door of opportunity to strike like this wouldn't have opened for us." Venom's big nose expands proudly. "Sure, Your Majesty. Scarlet is my pride."

"The Scarlet's info will mess up the entire Eastern Assyrian Kingdom. They'll let their guard down, that's when we'll take their territory and expand our kingdom's power."

King Zodic smiled full of plans. His pale lips sizzled later.

"And Eugene.., I also have special plans for you, my stupid son...."
