THE EMPEROR OF TWO WORLDS

Legendary monster?

Hearing about a source of pure Mana Crystals, King Roman kicked the meeting table.

*BRAAKK*

His voice was so powerful that the floor under the table cracked due to the power of King Roman. Queen Iris who sat beside the King tried to calm him down by saying "My body please calm yourself, the source of the pure Mana Crystal is indeed something we have been looking for all this time, but you definitely know… a parable we often feel first?"

"what parable? I don't remember?" The king answered the question of his first wife.

"Duh!. When you forget it! A parable like this 'Where there are pure Mana crystals, that's where there are Monsters guarding them!"

Hearing Iris' words, the King finally started to remember about his adventures when he was young and as Iris said. When they found the Rare A level monster's nest and finished it off, in the monster's nest they would definitely find a hunk of pure Mana crystal stone.

If a single piece of pure crystal was already guarded by an A-level monster, what about a Goa filled with pure Mana crystals?. That is what came to the mind of the King whose countenance was now filled with anxious feelings.

The king began to calm himself and asked again "Borkus, try to remember back in your childhood. When you found the Goa, did you find any monsters there?"

"i don't remember much myself, Your Majesty. But my friend, who was with me at the time, found two fangs in the cave and we made it a necklace as a sign of our friendship."

"then where is your friend now? Then can I see your necklace?"

Borkus took off the necklace he used and gave it to King Roman. After giving it away he answered the previous King's question "my best friend and I decided to split up on the border of this kingdom and the Rohden empire to achieve our wish of becoming generals in two different countries and establish cooperation between these two countries."

While examining the canine necklace, the King again asked "So your friend is now in the Rohden empire?"

"yeah! but unfortunately after we parted, I didn't get any more news about him even though I've tried to send him letters many times." Borkus said, remembering his best friend.

"i understand." said the King who understood Borkus' grief then he glanced at Agatha and said "Agatha, please check this bone through your prayer with the God of the Beast, Skaratu."

"alright." Agatha replied calmly then she began to pray her prayers.

While waiting for the Agatha Prayer, the King began to say to Borkus "I can deduce two things, one! He failed to achieve his goal and was reluctant to tell you. Two! He was forced to tell the Goa to the emperor Rohden to get the post of a general he wanted!"

"no way your majesty, I know and understand it very well! He can't possibly sell our secrets just for a job!" said the old borkus who still trusts his best friend.

"Borkus. There are three things that can damage the friendship between men namely Treasure, Throne, Woman! And I used to feel that kind of betrayal!"

Hearing the advice of the King, Borkus entered into deep thought and King Roman knew it was not easy to receive the news that the people we trusted had betrayed us.

Not long after, Agatha finished praying and said "according to my ancestors who were near the God of Skaratu, the fangs came from the stone Monkey monster, after all, but that monster died over 200 years ago."

After hearing the information from Agatha, the Queen then asked "Borkus, is it when your friend finds this bone that there are more bones?"

Borkus awoke from his deep thoughts and then he answered "that's a lot! Until the pile of bones that time exceeded our height."

"if so, then my guess is right! Alice, you've come across a similar case, haven't you?"

Queen Alice who was reminded by Iris replied with a very grim face "ah, I remember once! It was a calamity that I will never forget and it was also a sin that I kept all this time!"

"Alice! Didn't I warn you that it wasn't your fault!?" king Roman replied angrily.

"i know, honey! I know that.., but every time I remember about the cries and shouts of those who are constantly being voracized by the monster, I keep feeling it was my fault!"

"Alice, we understand how you feel, but you have to understand that the monster's resurrection is an all-resident scheme to kill you and if they die, it's their fault that they reap what they sow!" said Queen Iris who reminded of the true events.

Alice calmed herself down, and said to Borkus "sorry Borkus, I lost my composure. According to the information given by Brother Agatha, the Goa you found was a nest of Double S level monsters upwards or maybe a Legend level monster that was in their hibernation."

"Monster Legend? Sorry Queen! Isn't the Monster just a Rumor among the mercenaries?"

"they really do exist! That story you heard earlier was my experience when facing a Legend level Monster! Otherwise one of the monsters named 'Vampire Wolf'"

Hearing the word Vampire Wolf, Borkus recalled the story of Queen Alice spreading across the country about her fight against the legendary Vampire Wolves through the street Poets.

The monster was originally used to kill the Queen, but unfortunately those who devised this assassination plan did not know about the power of the legend-level monsters that caused the deaths of more than 500 citizens there.

Alice continued her story "although I was surprised to see the monster kill many citizens within 3 seconds, but after I realized I threw the monster away from the village and started fighting it in the forest, but the monster that was disturbed while hibernating was a monster that was truly powerful beyond its own level and I was overwhelmed in a few seconds. Even though he was very difficult to fight, I still managed to kill him!"

Agatha who heard Alice's version of the story said "haha.Alice, Please don't be so condescending. Even though you said overwhelmed, but I saw it for myself! You defeated that monster with just two magic spells alone!"

The king, who saw the conversation passing through the topic, began to stop the debate between Agatha and Alice "It's enough about remembering her past! Anyway our conclusion is that the monsters that are inside Goa are extremely dangerous and if the Rohden imperial party accidentally awakens them while mining the pure Mana crystals there, it is very dangerous, then the one who suffered the most loss was our kingdom for having to defeat the Monster quickly before he headed for the nearest city to find his food."

"for the time being, you and Prince Marcus continue to battle their forces even when necessary to capture their nearest fortress city so they consider this not just a diversion."

"but your highness! My army and the Second Prince's Order are not enough to pound them."

The answer is not the King, but Agatha "if that's not what you need to worry about! I'll advance to the frontlines along with 10,000 soldiers from other cities."

The king did not refuse the request of his second wife and only continued his words to Borkus "then to prevent the Monster from waking up from his hibernation, we need to need a good army in secret missions…. I think I need to rely on my Crown Prince again!"

Hearing this, Alice said "why Alex again! I just met him yesterday, but why do you have to keep us apart again like this, honey!?"

"haa. Alice, your words are too much to know! Didn't you sneak into your son's room last night and sleep with him all night until you left me alone in the room?" said the King who told his story last night.

"not that you're asleep! Why do you know?"

"already, I will still send Alex there because he just happens to want to visit the place for some reason. 'That would kill two birds with one stone'"

"alright! because our plan was made. Now only his preparations remain with the related nobles. Iris please spread this news to the other nobles."

"well, my king."

"Bernard, get the Crown Prince here to discuss this matter with him!"

"immediately do it!"

"then Alice sent Borkus to the eastern border immediately! And for you Borkus, keep this plan a secret until Queen Agatha with her army comes to surprise them with our impromptu attack."

"okay soon I'll prepare the teleportation magic." Replied Alice who walked to the side room of the table to prepare the teleportation magic.

"i understand your majesty!" borkus replied with his utmost respect.

Once the magic is ready, Borkus walks towards the magic circle and then before disappearing he says "may victory be with all of us!" and he's headed back to the eastern border.

Today no one knows about the return of General Borkus from the Eastern frontier and devised a counter-strategy with the King and his three queens against the military aggression of the Rohden empire. It will also be a historic moment where poets spread the word about the birth of new heroes, but it will be a story in the future.

…

While Strategy is over, Jani is still just finished inspecting and getting 50 Knights who do not meet minimum physical standards or they can also be called fat.

The 50 knights were separated and lined up in front of each other against the other knights. Walking through the two, Jani said "out of the 5000 knights in the capital, fortunately only 50 of you are stowaways like this."

"if only there were more than 100 people, HEH!! Just disband this whole knight!" said Jani who said with a threatening tone.

"alright, try me on you. What's your name!?"

A fat man replied loudly until the fat on his body shook "Ready, Lennon! Your majesty!

"then as a knight, why in doing basic movements 20 times have you sprawled on the ground?"

"Ready! I am not good at playing noble swords!"

"then what do you think you're best at?"

"count the money, Your Majesty!"

"in that case, why don't you just open a shop, huh!?"

Lennon explains it and Jani who listens to him just shakes his head and he also tells that his father was the one who put him into the knight army without having to follow the selection of physical minimum criteria.

Hearing that he had already met the bright spot of the mastermind of corruption within the Knights, Jani began to remember him and would hand him over to the Silent Army for later management. Although he was also thinking of catching the culprit now who looked trembling inside the ranks.
