When Lived was about to say something, suddenly a trumpet sound was heard.
"Your Majesty Zwarla has arrived!"
His shout that came along with the sound of trumpets, made the residents who lined up to welcome the arrival of the Princess immediately turned to welcome the arrival of the king.
The king came riding on a white horse. He is human but has a moustache, ears, and tail like a lion. His hair is long with a dark red Man Bun model.
"Greetings, King of Imish, King Zwarla XIX!" welcome Artisan to his knees, followed by the soldiers, princesses, and residents.
King Zwarla put on a sturdy body with a stern look. He then realized that no one on their knees was welcoming him. Those who did not kneel, shrouded someone with worry.
The silent atmosphere became rowdy due to the noise created from the three Lived subordinates who were worried about their master.
"Mr Lived, are you okay?" ask Shina. "Your cheeks are flushed! You need to be treated immediately!"
"Sir, what should we do now? Giving resistance?!" ask Gardieta who doesn't accept it.
"Resistance, yes .." said Everest who from his mouth out a breath of ice.
The noise disrupted the solemnity of the people of the Zwarla Kingdom.
"Stand" said King Zwarla.
Artisan and the others stood up. The residents and soldiers instantly gave a sharp glint towards Lived and his entourage.
Really don't know yourself! everyone's inner.
King Zwarla got off his horse, drawing the attention of everyone who initially focused on Lived and her entourage. He then walked over to his daughter who could not see his father's face. The king hugged his daughter.
"Thank God you're home safe" said the King with a slightly hardened voice.
The residents were filled to see how dear and worried their king was to the princess.
The king then let go of his embrace. Walking past the princess who still had not raised her head. The princess bit her lower lip with both hands firmly clenched.
"Artisan, who are they?"
Artisan slightly bowed. "Artisan please permission to answer. They are the main characters in the rescue mission, Your Majesty."
Artisan's answer surprised everyone, including the king and princess. Everyone's faces were dumbstruck, unable to believe what their ears had just caught.
"Oh, yeah. So, they're the heroes of the land, no, this continent?"
"Artisan please permission to answer. Right, Your Majesty."
The residents wanted to protest, but no one dared to. To see the leader's face they were in cold sweat, then how could they protest?
The princess gritted her teeth. He wanted to reject what Artisan said, but he himself saw the facts.
Artisan then walked with King Zwarla to meet the "fourth hero".
"Mr Lived and his followers, allow me to introduce myself. He was King Zwarla XIX, the supreme leader of the Zwarla Kingdom as well as a figure who was awarded the Supreme Priestess the title of Great King."
The three Lived followers glanced at a glance, then turned their faces again towards their master as if they did not care who was in front of them.
. . .
"RODDEN CREATURES! How dare you ignore His Majesty!"
"I don't know myself! Really don't know yourself!"
"Who are you guys to act like that?! Really low-key!"
Cacian that had been bearable since then finally returned to be thrown. King Zwarla who had never received this "devil" treatment before, was a little shocked and surprised. Artisan cold sweat, wavering, confused what to do.
King Zwarla then sighed. "Shush."
With just one word, the atmosphere can return to silence.
Lived who had been silent since then to observe, smiled. "Excuse me, excuse me, my Followers .... There's a figure so noble, so generous to take his time to meet me."
"It is an honor to meet such a great figure, King Zwarla XIX, Great King, King of Imish."
King Zwarla gave a cold expression. "Man, introduce yourself."
"My name is Lived, just Lived. The three of them are my company. We accidentally met with the Artisan War General when he wanted to sail."
King Zwarla is unhappy with Lived. Good style of speech, word-series, gestures, everything. He felt Lived talking like she was mocking him.
"Is that so? Then, what did you come here for?"
Artisan who heard the question instantly interjected. "Artisan please permission to answer. Regarding the reason for their arrival, is due to my personal request. They were found on a ship next to the one that captured the Princess and the others. Therefore, they were brought here for the purpose of-"
King Zwarla glanced sharply at Artisan, silencing Artisan's mouth to make him look down in fear.
"I understand. Then, what kind of rewards do you want?"
Lived raised both eyebrows. "Hm ...."
Lived was silent for a moment, thinking about what rewards she wanted. While Lived was thinking, King Zwarla asked Lived's three subordinates, but the three said they wanted nothing in return.
The answer, which was considered "arrogant" by the residents, infuriated the residents. However, when the residents were furious, Lived suddenly snapped her fingers.
"I've decided! I want free access to the library."
Lived's reply shocked and astonished everyone. Shina and Everest put on a blank stare because they did not know what the center was, while Gardieta smiled thinly because she felt a little nostalgic.
A request that sounded ridiculous in the ears of an ordinary person. However, the figure in front of Lived was no ordinary person. One end of King Zwarla's lips lifted slightly.
"alright. From today, the four of you have the right to access the library just as I have access to the library."
Although it sounds silly and useless, but being able to have the same rights as a king is still amazing.
Lived bowed and said, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness Zwarla XIX."
Gardieta bowed. Shina and Everest, who saw Lived and Gardieta bow, bowed. King Zwarla.
King Zwarla turned his back, walking back to his horse leaving Lived and his three subordinates still bowing.
Gardieta, who felt that King Zwarla had not given the slightest respect to Lived, raised her head and looked at King Zwarla's back.
"Relax, Gardieta .. Is not the face for a king to act like this?" said Lived who was only heard by Gardieta and two other subordinates.
"I'm sorry, Mister .." replied Gardieta, who lowered her head in annoyance.
Lived smiled, holding back a laugh as she had not expected to say what she had just said. After this I must apologize to him.
King Zwarla had ridden his horse, as had the Princess who had been inside the carriage with a sour face.
Artisan knelt down and shouted, "Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness Zwarla XIX!" followed by the soldiers and residents.
King Zwarla and his entourage left without paying back the respect of those who loved him.
Artisan stood, followed by the residents and other soldiers. He then looked back, ascertaining whether Lived and her entourage were still there or had left.
Artisan then approached Lived and her entourage. "I apologize for this bad reception. You guys must be uncomfortable, right?"
Lived as usual replied with a casual smile while waving her hands up and down. "Quiet, nothing like this. I had expected that my arrival would not be welcome."
Artisan was aware of the use of the word spoken by Lived. Lived uses the word "me", not "we".
"You have obtained the acknowledgement of His Highness Zwarla. Then, there's no need for us to interrogate you all."
"Oh, thank you, thank you."
Artisan smiled with a slight sigh. "Where are you going after this?"
