Everyone in the meeting room was very surprised by Leon's sudden arrival, moreover his appearance was very different to the one they were familiar with.
A silver armor attached to his body that was much taller and mature than his twin sister Leyn, his aura also felt more charismatic than before which seemed childish and naive.
Leyn could not believe the sudden arrival of her brother, and for several years they separated and reunited under completely different circumstances.
Leyn did not know what to say to him, there was no way he would welcome the arrival of Leon who clearly did not come in peace.
Leon looked at Leyn's eyes directly, then a smile formed on his lips, "For a long time no see, Leyn..."
"Shall I welcome your return?" ask Leyn cynically.
He admitted his mistake that resulted in a fight between himself and Leon, but it seems that this is not the right time to apologize and have a casual conversation.
Leon's smile disappeared, "It looks like you don't think of me as part of the Nereida family anymore..."
Leyn fell silent, not intending to abandon Leon from the Nereida family.
Leyn wanted to continue speaking but had already been cut off first by Leon before he even spoke.
"Forget about our personal matters, I came here only to warn you and the entire city of Lumise that the kingdom of Mazzarri will be your enemy if you do not obey His Majesty the King's orders."
"What kind of government is that?"
"This city has been established without permission in the domain of the Mazzarri kingdom, so you must be willing to join the kingdom and give up all technological designs of this city."
Leyn was very surprised to hear Leon's words sounding very serious.
"You're wrong, this region is part of the Victorian empire, where it may be"
"Look at the reality Leyn. The Kingdom of Victoria has been destroyed and the entire territory it left behind has now become part of the kingdom of Mazzarri including this city!" sargah Leon raised her voice a little.
"No way.." murmured Leyn softly.
Claiming an area of royal power is a very presumptuous thing, although the kingdom of Victoria has been destroyed but as long as there are still descendants of the royal family then the territory still belongs to the kingdom of Victoria.
Leyn thought the only royal descendant was Arcadia's daughter, and now she's in the Mazzarri kingdom because King Gallagher decided to take care of her like his own daughter...
So I see, the crafty King just reasoned to take care of the Arcadia princess just for her own benefit, thought Leyn.
"Think once more before you decide on the path you will choose." Leon said with his body starting to disappear.
"Wait!"
Leyn yelled to stop her brother's departure, but it was too late because Leon had just disappeared from the place.
"Shadow magic?" leyn's murmur confirmed the magic that Leon used.
In other words, it was not Leon's real body but a magic that resembled him, it was one of those rare magic that made Leyn even more certain Leon's power was already much stronger on it.
Leyn gritted her teeth feeling a turbulent anger in her chest, whereas she was preparing an army to face the Demon Queen Estienne but now the kingdom of Mazzarri wanted to make trouble for her.
"Are they aware that humanity is under threat!" leyn shouted with anger.
He was so angry that he lifted his leg to kick the meeting table until it was smashed into pieces against the wall.
Leyn's breathing was wheezing as he began to assuage his anger. After exhaling a long breath Leyn turned around and looked at the wide-ranging people looking at Leyn's actions just now.
"Are you guys okay?" leyn asked innocently.
Everyone gasped before gulping rough saliva.
""K-we're fine, miss.." they replied simultaneously.
Who would have thought that the young, cute, and sweet girl before them could become a ferocious tiger while being angry. Next time they have to think twice so as not to make Leyn angry.
"Regarding your sister just now"
He should not give priority to personal affairs when a complicated matter has stood before him. Leyn remains professional in carrying out her responsibilities even though her mind is being clouded by her brother's arrival just moments ago.

On the other hand Leon opened his eyes that had been closed and slightly smiled when he learned the information from his shadow that had just met his sister, Leyn.
"It turns out he's been growing a lot since we parted.." he murmured.
Leon stood up and stared at Lumise city from afar, precisely at the moment he was in a plateau so that he could see Lumise city quite clearly.
Shortly afterwards a middle-aged man with a burly body and a slash wound in one eye came up to Leon while kneeling behind him.
"The whole squad is ready, General!" said the middle-aged man firmly.
"Good job, Johan. We will make a move after my cue later." Leon said without looking at the man named Johan.
Johan nodded obediently and then left there because he knew very well that Leon was a solitary person.
A few years ago the man who held the title of the royal General of Mazzarri was Johan himself. He is a strong person but he never lost when dueling with Leon which became the moment of release of his pride title.
And now Johan's status is only Leon's obedient and loyal right hand.
"So the whole personnel is ready huh.." muttered Leon with a weakened view considering he had to fight his own sister and hometown.
But there was nothing he could do because only in this way would the person he loved be free from his suffering.
After parting ways with Leyn a few years ago, Leon took the initiative to join the Mazzarri military because only he was capable enough to represent the citizens of the Victorian kingdom.
Leon felt his own responsibility to sacrifice for the citizens of the Victorian kingdom who were displaced in the kingdom of Mazzarri.
In addition, Leyn's goal was to join the Mazzarri kingdom's military as well because of Arcadia's daughter as the person he loved.
Leon was very sad when he saw the condition of the girl, his golden eyes that had previously shone brightly had now dimmed. He could no longer smile or speak, the only thing he could do was to remain silent with a blank look.
The court physician examined her condition and found that Arcadia's daughter was seriously mentally ill as a result of the deaths of her brother, prince Alexander and her father King Laurence.
The death of the two of them is still a mystery because there is no real evidence, no one knows for sure the mastermind of the death of the two members of the kingdom.
What is clear now is that Arcadia's daughter's illness cannot be cured with just any medicine.
In the midst of Leon's despair, King Gallagher comes and tells him that he knows a drug that can cure the girl he loves, but in fact it is just a lie to control Leon like a puppet...

Meanwhile, in front of the entrance gate of Lumise city, two very charming children were seen, one was a cute girl with light blue hair while the other was a boy with long blue hair and a star symbol on his forehead.
When entering Lumise city, the little girl looked very amazed by the modern cityscape in front of her and was slightly bewildered by it.
"Yui, we've finished capturing all the spirits that escaped from the realm of death and fled to this continent, so can we go home now?" neo said to Yui.
Yui did not reply and only focused on paying attention to the design of the city that reminded her of her world that is Earth, even some of the technology in her world is also available in this place.
"Come on, Brother River won't be angry if we play around in this place for a second, will we?"
"You have a point..."
Neo finally resigned to Yui's will and ended up traveling around the modern city which made Yui even more convinced that the city had something to do with her world.
