THE EMPEROR OF TWO WORLDS

Debate at a crossroads

Jani's entourage had been away long enough from the capital and arrived at a crossroads filled with meadows they decided to rest for a while.

Although they could have continued to walk, but there were obstacles and caused them to have to rest was a difference of opinion about the Path they passed. The knights and magicians chose the left lane because it was faster, but the elite soldiers and experienced adventurers chose the right lane because it was safer and they also heard a rumor about the existence of two tiger and dragon monsters that were seen often fighting in the left lane.

The two of them continued to argue with Jani who was in the middle of the two. Since the debate began, Jani just kept quiet and cursed his two stepmothers who casually used the Teleportation Runes circle to go directly to the nearest city to the eastern prairies of the kingdom.

In the atmosphere of debate, suddenly everyone was silent and staring at Jani. Jani who felt everyone's gaze glanced at them and asked "why did you guys suddenly stop?"

"sorry, Your Majesty! we really don't pay homage to your presence!" said a senior knight representing knights and Magicians in the debate this time.

"it's okay. I understand your wish that we may quickly get to the meadow, but you cannot think of yourself like this, without asking others for their opinions. That is the Nature of Arrogance!"

"and for the Elite Soldier! You're very experienced in this kind of free nature assignment, but why are you acting so stupid now?"

"you who know the danger that is there, should explain calmly and not follow the emotions as before! If they don't believe it, then just show them how dangerous the two monsters are. Then if you consider it a waste of time, then just report the problem to their highest superiors there and if the leader also has a different opinion with you, then leave this group and go to the path that you think is safe to pass. This can all be done if from the beginning no one uses excessive emotions and abuse in a discussion. Understand all of you!?"

 The previously debating Brands now bow their heads in embarrassment in the face of Jani who looked annoyed. Jani could only sigh then "then for the matter of choosing the Path, I decided to choose the left lane!"

An Elite Warrior immediately said "But your highness, that path is extremely dangerous!"

"because of the two Dragon monsters and the tiger right?" ask Jani to the Elite Soldier.

"Yes, that's right, Your Majesty."

"then I will take care of the two of them and send someone to guide to where the two monsters are. While you guys get this army ready to leave in half an hour later, Understood!?"

The entire representative knelt down and replied "WE UNDERSTAND, YOUR HIGHNESS THE CROWN PRINCE!!"

…

After that, Jani was led by an adventurer who witnessed the emergence of the two Monsters drove Jani to the location. Jani is not accompanied by anyone, but there are some mercenaries like volunteers who follow Jani into the left Path for observation only.

Jani doesn't bother with their presence and he also knows there are those who have malicious intentions towards him, but Jani doesn't care and lets those who want to observe keep following them.

When he arrived at a burning forest, Jani could already guess that this was the result of the two monsters' fight. As they got further and further into the burning forest, suddenly the adventurers who were pitting Jani stopped "noble apologies, I can only escort you here. They'll definitely feel someone's presence if we get too close to them."

"i understand. I think from here it's enough."

Jani got off his horse and took out a small needle from his ear. The paying mercenaries were confused by Jani's action of just pulling out a Needle, but they were then shocked by the next incident.

The needle was thrown and turned into a golden stick that was covered with dragon symbols all over its staff. When Jani managed to hold the stick he raised his pure aura and smashed his stick to the ground.

*SERVICE!!*

When the stick hit the ground, a loud noise and a loud wave were created and spread out very widely. At the same time, Jani shouted "IGNIS!! … TEMPEST!! COME HERE NOW!!"

Not long after, the temperature around them began to heat up and black cloud clumps began to form above them. The adventurer guiding Jani said in a frightened tone "Your highness, why did you call them here!?"

"to deal with them, wouldn't it be better to immediately call them here?"

"that's true, but do you think of anyone else around you? We don't want to die!!"

"relax! Nobody's gonna die, I guarantee you!"

After Jani finished saying that, from the direction of the mountains came a tiger with a flame on its head and a blue Dragon that appeared from behind the black clouds accompanied by a fierce thunderous roar. The presence of the two monsters made everyone retreat and escape leaving Jani alone.

Ignis who looked ferocious asked "Man! Are you ready to die, after you say my name?"

Jani does not answer and lets Tempest reply "haha.he fears Ignis! Seeing our terrible growth!"

Jani who had been silent for so long, now suddenly said "Long." And the golden staff immediately extended and hit the head of Tempest who was circling above Jani.

Seeing Jani begin to attack, Ignis also without a second thought immediately pounced towards Jani, but Jani faster by removing one of his Pistols and shooting twice towards Ignis.

*DORS..DOR!!*

Jani said calmly "Tempest. I advise you to immediately turn into earrings right now."

"HUH! I have become much stronger! Why should I obey a human like you!?" Reply Tempest with Arogan and then open his mouth to launch a powerful attack that is 'Breath of Lightning'.

Breath is spouted, but Jani casually teleports back and forth with Lightning Magic, accelerating his pace and dodging Ignis' 'Magma Ball' almost simultaneously with Tempest.

After dodging both attacks, Jani's face turned serious then said "alright, I don't mind playing with the two of you!"

…

Meanwhile.

In the crossroads meadow, the Knights immediately panicked as the heir to their kingdom was now in living alone with the two extremely powerful Monsters. The beginning of Jani's departure examines the Monster, no one from the Knight's side panics, but when they realize that their Crown Prince left the Armor his mother gave him inside the tent, the, they immediately panicked and now tried to catch up with him to protect the Crown Prince.

Unfortunately all their intentions were stopped because when they wanted to leave, a bare-chested man with two short swords on his back walked towards them in a relaxed atmosphere.

As the man looked at the knight army, he asked "want where are you guys to rush like that? Did you guys get any news from the meadows in the east?"

"Your Majesty! Are you okay!?" ask a Knight who is the leader of the knight group.

Hearing the frantic tone of the knight leader, Jani calmly replied "I'm fine, it's just that my clothes were damaged in flames from the attack of a stupid cat."

The knight leader breathed a sigh of relief and said "thankfully you are fine, Your Majesty. But what about the fate of those two monsters?"

In order not to make a mess about the truth he had a weapon that could turn the weapon into a monster, Jani lied and replied "they ran away and dropped these two weapons before they left."

After regaining his two Mystic level short swords, Jani along with his knights returned to their troops and their journey towards the Eastern region resumed.

…

Although they took the fastest route to the eastern region of the kingdom, it still took them two days to reach the gathering location of the entire royal army to face the Military Aggression of the Rohden empire.

After two days of travel, they finally arrived and their arrival was welcomed by troops from various other cities. Jani gives his greetings again and after that, the camp manager comes to guide their troops to rest, while Jani heads to the strategic central camp to meet his two stepmothers, Queen Iris and Queen Agatha.

Inside the Strategic center camp, Jani is greeted by her brother Marcus who gives her a warm hug while saying "Welcome my Brother!! in the strongest city of the entire kingdom, Balmugh!"

"Balmugh? Aren't we in the camp for a while? Why do you call it a city?"

"gr.ck.. My sister, this is just the beginning of this new city and don't you see many of the strongest people of our country gathered here to protect our beloved kingdom!?"

Jani, who is still in his brother's arms, asked "then what about the border city of Malesah? Wasn't brother assigned to guard our eastern border town from the invading Rohden empire?"

Hearing the question, Marcus shook a little and let go of his embrace while answering stammeringly "that's. ten…."

Jani was puzzled by her brother's vague answer, but from behind there was a woman's voice saying "she lost the city of Malesah two days ago!"

Hearing the reply, Marcus turned around and denied "Mother! I've said it many times.I didn't lose the city, but just lent it to them for a moment! When the time comes, I will definitely take it back!"

The woman grew increasingly irritated and then with her blood red aura, she kicked Marcus while shouting "DON'T MAKE MUCH EXCUSE, FOOL!! Losing is losing! That won't change the fact that you lost that battle!"

The one who dared to kick the second Prince was none other than his mother Queen Agatha whose face was now filled with great fury. Of course the kick from Queen Agatha to her son was quite strong and threw Marcus to the outside of the camp which was over a Kilo Meter away from the central camp.

Queen Iris who was sitting not far from the bloody scene, said to Agatha "Agatha, can you not use your blood elemental aura? Eve in camp is getting stuffy here."

"sorry about that, brother. Then Alex, why are you sitting there? Come here I want to hear your opinion on our current situation!" agatha said, returning to calm and calling Jani to see a map of the entire Eastern border region that has now been captured by the enemy.
