Mugen Monogatari: Rays of Aurora

Chapter 28: Behind the War for no Reason

The next day after breakfast I went straight to the kingdom to report, arriving at the throne room many soldiers were on guard. King Eren, Angelica, and Edgar are waiting for me.

“ noble Eren, I want to report the results of the battle in the Lias Grassland. “ I said as I bowed in respect.

“ lift your head.and go. “ says King Eren.

“ the result of the battle this time we managed to defeat the Sacred God sect, during our battle against a number of members from the sect who numbered around 300 people besides that we also fought a dragon, on our side there were 20 fatalities and 315 wounded. “

“ thanks for the report, after this I will give you a reward for helping Berilin kingdom, especially for you Rui.. I've heard rumors from the soldiers and from my own daughter's son... I will give you the title of nobility for having participated so greatly in the battle this time. “

“ I did not mention about homonculus but the king did not ask, there are two possibilities that the King does not know about homonculus or the king has something to do with this. “ I thought. “ I am very happy with the title you gave me.. Before that there was additional information that I had not told you. “

“ everyone leave this room. “ shouted the king commanding everyone to leave the throne room.

“ turns out the king has a relationship with homonculus. “ I thought.

Angelica and Edgar stood up to leave this room but were immediately stopped by the king. “ Angelica, Edgar you guys stay here. “

“ well father. “ replied Angelica.

“ looks like we will be made a witness. “ says Edgar.

Finally everyone in the throne room was out except Edgar and Angelica.

“ so you already know. “ said king Eren.

“ I've guessed that you have a connection with all of this. “ I said as I showed the documents I took from the laboratory under the Sect building.

“ hmm.. “ the king descended from his throne and took the documents I held.

“ explain what all this means. “ says.

“ I will explain everything, before that I apologize to you for hiding all this. “ then the king walked back to his throne and then pressed the hidden tombil in his crown suddenly his throne shifted and seen a hidden path. “ please pass here I will explain it inside.

“ secret room.. I just found out. “ said Edgar.

“ turns out there is also here. “ said Angelica.

“ forgive father never tell you. “ said the king to his daughter temple.

Then we went into the room behind the throne, when we entered there was a waiter, the waiter prepared food and drinks.

“ please sit. “ said king Eren. “ I have told you that this kingdom was once attacked by a group of mysterious attackers, I'm really sorry it was all my plan to convince you. “

“ so dad also lied to us. “ said Angelica looks angry.

“ I already know that, you also gave funds to us to create a guild in this kingdom in case if this information leaked. “.

“ forgive me for my foolish actions, but I did not destroy your guild that was in the kingdom of Rheridda. “ said King Eren.

“ I know it was one of homonculus... Just get to the point. “

“ first Berilin kingdom suffered several defeats during the war caused by the lack of combat power fighting work, at that time led by the previous king, my own father king Dumein, who was the king of Dumein, seeing the lack of combat power my father's soldiers thought of a way out by making homonculus, but the scientists who were resigned by my father rebelled and threatened my father with the threat of exposing his inhuman acts, my father could do nothing more and all the homonculus experiment projects were taken by the scientist. “

“ then his sect and dragon. “

“ then what reason did you hide this from us? “

“ I want to resolve this matter myself without involving all of you especially this kingdom, but the sect is blocking us. “

“ sorry to cut, when I saw the eyes of the followers of their sect did not look like ordinary humans, their eyes looked purple and like they were being controlled. “ cut Edgar.

“ I also had time to think like that, should when they did attack at least they would feel tense and afraid but wajag them no expression at all. “ said Angelica.

“ I was too focused on the fight so I didn't notice it. “ I replied.

“ you remember Rui.. The Great Priestess summoned the dragon, as if their souls were sucked up and used to summon the dragon, besides when they cast spells and also attacked everything they said the same. “ connect Edgar.

“ I understand that this matter is not over yet, but at least we have already defeated the sect and secured the homonculus trial laboratory. “

“ what Rui said is true, for the continuation of the problem we can discuss later, besides that I have to give something more for Rui the title of nobility alone will not be enough, he said, because I also have to ask Rui to keep this a secret. “

“ oh yes, I brought one homonculus as a container for Siera. I want you to give it to me. “ we then give a document about Tia. “ this document, homonculus is given code Tia. “

“ perfect homonculus and almost similar to human.. Hmm, it seems like it's okay if you can keep it a secret. “

“ of course I'll keep my own stuff a secret. “

“ but it turned out to have been here the experiment. “

“ if that's all I think is still not enough dad. “ angelica suddenly stood up.

“ what did you say Angelica? “ king Eren surprised.

“ actually I am tired of being a princess who always lounges in the room, I am tired of hearing the praise of the nobles that sound like a joke to me, in return for Rui allow me to become an adventurer and join Rui's guild. “

“ ahh I was in advance. “ thought Edgar.

“ ehh.. “ I just saw his stupid behavior.

“ indeed at this time you have grown up and have to choose your own path, how my wife do you allow it. “ said King Eren while looking at the waiter.

“ can be mom. “ Angelica immediately ran away and begged her mother.

“ ehh, how many more this. “ I thought.

“ if just be adventurous I do not allow it. “ replied his mother. Then his mother walked over to me. “ Mr. Rui.. “

“ don't use Sir. “ I replied.

“ then, Rui you have to look after and protect Angelica, she does look strong but actually she is very fragile, besides she is very spoiled occasionally to anger her. “

“ I will try. “

“ then if that happens you have to be responsible. “ said Ms. Angeluca with a slightly creepy face.

“ what do you mean by that. “ think I. “ alright. “ answer me.
