Capters 18

The sun began to crawl on the horizon. That morning, Nigel and Diana came to the palace. The magnificent building was surrounded with high walls made of piles of marble and several guards were seen above the wall. The two young men tried to enter through the palace gate but, two guards confronted them.

"Who are you and what do you want to do in the palace?" ask one of the guards.

"We, the emissaries of the Zebrulgard Ruins, want to meet with His Majesty" Diana replied.

Nigel spontaneously turned his head towards the woman, not expecting Diana to answer like that. Nigel will tell their identity and plead to meet the King. But, if you think about it, the guards would definitely not be willing to give a stranger to face the number one person in this country easily. They must have a proper alibi to enter.

"Give me the message, let me deliver it" the guard said.

"Sorry, Sir. We don't trust anyone" said Nigel. He's trying to help.

The two guards fell silent and they looked at each other.

"Then, sorry. We can't let you through" said the guard.

Diana brought herself closer to the guard. "If I fail to deliver the message, then you will be remembered as a foolish keeper and *****. You'd better come in and tell your king we're coming NOW!"

It does not seem to depend on nature. Diana's mood seemed very bad. Nigel was a bit confused, what exactly happened to his friend.

"It seems like your mood is bad. Is there a problem, Diana?" ask Nigel.

"It's okay. I just hate government troops," Diana replied with a piercing gaze of the gatekeeper who remained. The guard just kept silent and did not answer. "See them. So arrogant and so adoring to the government. Lick food from the government even though it is obtained from blackmailing the people. And now, they are acting strong in front of the people when it is the people who give them food from taxes. The guards should be the dogs of the people, not the government." Dislike was evident from Diana's countenance.

"You messengers from the Ruins of Zebrulgard. What message do you want to convey," asked the King, his authority is very thick on him.

"I think it's something pretty secret" Nigel said. Everyone there started to look at each other and whisper. A few words of contempt were caught in Nigel's ears however, he did not care about it.

Not wanting the atmosphere to be tense, Nigel reached into his pocket and picked up a card there. Nigel showed the card to the king. Tristan Keiren is down.

"Finally come too" the king murmured. The man immediately stood up and went down the steps toward Nigel. "Give me that card!"

After dealing directly with the king of this country, Nigel can see there is a green color on the gray iris of the king.

Nigel gave the card he got from Zanon to King Keiren. The king's eyes were very amazed to see the symbol that was printed, black, which sometimes appeared a flash of gold. "Not wrong anymore." He looked at Nigel. "Are you her messenger?" tanyakanya.

"Yes. Jonah is ...."

"Not-not. You know who I mean" cut King Keiren.

Of course Nigel knows. "Zanone."
