{1-20} Alliance or Enemy?
Continental/continental General Calendar 1330: Mid-Autumn.
Middle Drakea continent: Kingdom of Draeruz: Royal Capital, Magtus.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Located in the central part of the Kingdom's territory, Magtus City was the administrative center of the Draeruz Kingdom itself. The city of Magtus itself was made the capital, not by chance, previously in the war of independence with the Praguss Empire, this city became the main base of freedom fighters.
Because it became the Administrative Center, it is not surprising that this city is the largest city in the Draeruz Kingdom, but due to the lack of natural fortifications that protect this city because it is in a vast expanse of grass and open, the, coupled with the increasing advance of siege weapons the city grew, the city became very vulnerable to encirclement. There is also a small river flowing in the middle of a walled city.
The population of the city of Magtus is about 50,000 inhabitants, of course the majority is filled by ordinary commoners. While the inner part of the city there is another wall inside which is the district where dozens of palace nobles live without their own land or territory
Due to the economic war in the capital city was also affected quite heavily, the, it was indeed a little can be repaired by King Joash by selling luxury goods in the palace and also the assets of the generals who were fired and then input to the state treasurer, the state treasurer, but of course it is still not enough to fix everything.
In the district of the commoners also seen slums that adorn, a place whose people are not too concerned with the law anymore as long as they can survive.
But despite all that seemed a very high attraction on a tall and large building in the middle of the city, the building was the Royal Palace. The Royal Palace itself around him again had a wall protecting him.
The ten large circular towers form an almost perfect square barrier around this magnificent palace and are connected by tall and large walls made of black stone.
No matter how many luxurious palace items were sold by King Joash, it was, still inside it still looks very graceful and also looks as if it is full of history in the past surrounding the aura in the palace.
A ruby-red rug flowed down from the throne and split to surround the entire hall while banner banners with decorated crowns dangled gently from the wall. Among each banner hung a lantern, some of which had been lit and in turn illuminated the artistic depictions of the other world leaders beneath them.
The wide stained glass window was hidden by the same ruby-red curtain as the banner. The curtains have been decorated with impressive gems and embroidery. Not perfect the beautiful throne chair is only because of one thing, that is, there is no king who occupies it. The halfway room was filled with Golden-cloak Knights, a Knight army whose job was to guard the safety of the King himself.
In the silence of the living room was seen a young man about 27 years old in black clothes who looked very authoritative on him.
His arms were quite long, a shirt that seemed to be made of animal skin covered his body up above his waist and was completely pocketed on the upper left side. On the collar also seems to be made of animal fur, I don't know what it is. The sleeves of his jacket were quite wide and reached far below his wrists, decorated with decorative ribbons almost on the edges. He was Yaffi von Ustert, as well as a prime minister of the Kingdom of Draeruz.
The Usterts themselves were noblemen from the impoverished region in the western part of the Kingdom, but because of the poor of the region made him like to learn to improve the situation in the region which finally in a year he could change the previously very poor region to be a little more developed than before because of some reforms.
For example, the territory he owned that was once heavily dependent on agriculture began to industrialize into a clothing maker with silk cloth capital they obtained from the Principality of Lazeria in the Southwestern part of the Kingdom of Draeruz, a princely region that prospered because it became the trading base of several surrounding countries.
Because King Joash himself had a hobby to collect talented people in the end when he saw Yaffi immediately make a deal and make it as Prime Minister.
The western region of the majority of its nobles is a neutral person including Yaffi, but even so Yaffi himself realized if they continue to act indifferently then the stability of the country will also be shaken because this country is now at the stage of needing a leader who really works for the country instead of working for his own wallet, he agreed to help King Joash because it was better than the suckers like the people in Kirya's parliament.
With a slightly thin body Yaffi walked towards one of the Golden-cloak Knights, "Where is His Majesty?" ask Yaffi.
Seeing the Knight Prime Minister immediately saluted him first, "Your Majesty has returned to his Chamber, Mr. Prime Minister." Answer the Knight.
"Thank you," Yaffi told the Knight.
Hearing that Yaffi immediately walked away from the Golden Cloak Knights and towards the exit of the halfway room, the two Knights who were near the door immediately opened the door Yaffi simultaneously.
Exiting the Singgahsana there is a hallway with several rooms in it, with a black cloak that he wears Yaffi walking in the hallway. On the way he also passed through many palace servants with their respective busyness, but when they saw Yaffi of course they immediately respect him seeing quite influential position of Yaffi in the State.
After a few minutes of walking through the long hall he finally reached the end of the hall, there were two iron doors with many royal symbols carved on both doors. On the side of the door were also two other Golden-cloak Knights standing guard outside the King's Room.
Yaffi who from the beginning did have the aim to meet with King Joash directly knocked on the door. "Your Majesty, are you inside?" yaffi said in a polite tone while knocking on the door.
"Are you Yaffi? come in" a voice came from inside the room.
Hearing this, the two Knights who were on guard opened the Yaffi door at the same time as in the halfway room, "Please Mr. Prime Minister." Said one of the Knights.
When Yaffi was already inside the room he saw a person who should be leading the country lying limp on the mattress with a mask covering his face and also his entire body was seen covered by a soft white silk cloth, it is designed to protect her sensitive skin.
Of course that person was King Joash with the leprosy he craved, the more the day the disease was getting worse gnawing on his body which made him weak day by day.
Knowing that Yaffi had entered into his room, King Joash immediately set his eyes on Yaffi, "I'm sorry Yaffi, my body really took me to the bed, hahaha." Speak King Joash with a little wit.
"That's okay, Your Majesty, because it's not your fault," Yaffi could only respond with his sad face.
"Don't I tell you not to look at me with a face like that?" asserted King Joash.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but it would be natural to see how you are doing now."
"really? we should be thankful for the disease of the gospel because it is also what makes the members of Parliament to sit quietly, hahahaha."
"Well, how else because it's just dark humor that I have right now."
Yaffin felt guilty in his heart after King Joash said that, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
"Forgot that, so what's the reason you met me?"
Yaffi who after making small talk immediately began to take a chair in the room and sat down at King Joash's side, "Have you heard the rumors that are crowded lately?"
Asked by Yaffi, King Joash was silent for a moment and immediately responded, "Vampires from the Southern Region?" asked King Joash with a slight tilt of his head.
"Right, but I think the spread is actually just exaggerated, but of course if a rumor is exaggerated then the rumor is really an amazing thing."
" Hohoho, well I'll listen." Said King Joash who was curious about the position of his right date on his chin.
Seeing the behavior of the King Yaffin again could only pat his eel, "Actually the rumored vampire is a girl from Claudia Region."
"Classicia!? what does a little girl from the middle of nowhere do to the point of being nicknamed a Vampire." Hearing this, King Joash was shocked.
"I know you'll react like that, but first I'll give you the news that Viscount Claudia and his wife are rumored to have died, they were previously known to mysteriously disappear in their rooms and I don't know how they disappeared because their son, who he said was named Luzia, was somehow able to keep that information strictly."
King Joash who heard the news immediately sighed and positioned his hand to pray to Viscount Claudia.
"So, I myself have never seen Viscount Claudia but I have always heard that she is a very meek person, as gentle as the silk cloth of the continent in the east."
"I agree with that and the person responsible for their deaths is Booze, an arrogant general you fired by force before."
"That arrogant fool? if you know the end like I should have just executed it back then, then what about that person now? because killing a noble is a grave crime we must arrest him and execute him." King Joash wanted that because in his heart he felt a little guilty.
"You don't bother to do that because they've all been defeated by the Army led by Miss Luzia, even he said the tribes who had previously decided to live in the region began to really unite on the banner of Luzia's leadership." Said Yaffi who although seen on his face was also a little disbelief.
Both themselves already know about the disputes of the tribes in the region of Claudia because in the previous wars the tribes recruited their combat quality is very extraordinary in the field, especially archery skills, especially, however, because of the recruits of several different tribes, they often clashed at war camps at that time. So when they heard about the tribes finally coming together especially under the leadership of a little girl, they found it hard to believe it.
"If it's not wrong that Booze managed to have 2400 followers and in the end they were defeated only by a little girl, it's very hard to believe." Said King Joash while holding his head in confusion.
"According to the last information they numbered 3000 personnel, Your Majesty." Yaffin corrects the mistake of King Joash.
"That's even more."
King Joash himself also knew about the existence of the bandits led by Booze but because they built a base in the region near the borders of the Kharza Empire while the Kingdom of Draeruz had a treaty with the Kharza Empire if the King Joash brought troops near the border so it would be considered a Declaration of War, therefore King Joash could only remain silent.
"But even more shocking is how Miss Luzia of the Claudia family treated her prisoners of war.... "
"What's he doing, Yaffi?"
"Many of them were executed in the same way and then displayed throughout the region to the extent that he said if you visit at that time, all I saw were the corpses on display and some of the rest were sold into slavery." Yaffi who said that looked a little creepy.
"It's fascinating, so he's therefore nicknamed a ruthless bloodsucking vampire!" instead King Joash who heard it was very enthusiastic.
Luzia's father himself was known for his reputation of being very meek and kind, there were even rumors that even he could not bear to kill an insect that was in front of him. Not infrequently others who see him as a weak person because he is too pacifist, when hearing about how his son executed the captives is really very hard to believe.
"Then how do we respond, Your Majesty?" ask Yaffi politely to the King.
"It would be completely futile not to bring him to our faction but it would be impolite as well if we directly brought him over all of a sudden whereas before we didn't even care about them."
"I agree with that, Your Majesty, so it looks like we should be a little patient first while looking for a good reason to invite him."
"Well, I was more curious how the Parliament would react when it heard about this. I hope they're more patient at least until I die, hahahaha."
Again Yaffi who saw the behavior of the King he could only pat his eel, "Please, not again."
