The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chaptre 64. Grand Meeting

Meanwhile, at the same time [Throne Room]

As the three enter the labyrinth, Aaron is able to sense Dustin's whereabouts and summon him using [Soul Link].

It was one of the skills that made it easier for Summoners and Familiar to communicate.

With this skill the Summoner could easily give vague instructions to the summoned creature, even if the Familiar did not have the high intelligence like the insects Aaron had previously summoned.

However, if the summoned creature has high intelligence, the two can even communicate with their minds just as he does now with Dustin.

Although this skill had a distance limit, Aaron felt it was quite beneficial.

Sitting on a white throne, he asked Dustin.

{Before you report to me the results of your assignment, tell me about the people behind you first. }.

Coinciding as Dustin enters the labyrinth, Aaron can also sense the whereabouts of the people who follow him.

Out of curiosity, Aaron uses projection crystals to monitor them.

She can recognize the female knight who followed Dustin, but she has no idea who the other woman is.

{She's the princess, Jeanne, and a female knight, Ingrid, who served as her personal bodyguard. The princess said she wanted to negotiate with you, so I drove them here. } Dustin reported.

{Jeanne…? Ahh, I know him.} Aaron said after a while of thought.

'So she was that girl back then, it was fitting that I felt her face was a bit familiar. He looks a lot changed than I remember Aaron said in his heart

{A, does this bother you sir? If that's the case, do you want me to kill them? } Dustin asked a little hesitantly.

{No. Bring them both here, Don't act disrespectfully to them! } Aaron ordered.

{According to your wishes sir. } Azure Knight replied.

After he finished giving the order, Aaron decided on his [Soul Link] with Dustin and told his little sister about the upcoming guest.

"Do you still remember Jeanne?" aaron turned to look at his sister.

At this moment, Alice seemed to be busy watching the deployment of the guard monsters and the attacking adventurers, she was unaware of her brother's conversation with Dustin.

Hearing her brother's sudden question, she turned around.

"Jeanne's? Who is it, onii-sama? ” Alice tilts her head looking confused.

Aaron directs a projection crystal that displays the three before his sister.

"Didn't you recognize them? " ask Aaron.

"Ohhh, Dustin is back apparently, good! But why was that woman there? wasn't he one of the adventurers that had been released before. Did Dustin catch him again? Tch..Tch..Tch.., he's really unlucky" said Alice.

"Then what about the other woman, do you recognize her? " ask Aaron

"Hmm.., no. Is she Jeanne the big sister she meant? "

"Yes, she is the princess of the kingdom of Liberas. We met him about 6 years ago. “ Aaron explained.

After hearing her elder brother's words, Alice thought hard while looking at the ceiling.

He was scribbling away the old memories he had buried deeply.

"ah! Uh! If what you mean is 6 years ago, then it should be related to the great meeting held in Aria kingdom that discussed the Peace of the Continent, right! Ah ~ so!

Of course, we met him at that time! ” Alice smile.

"How can you not remember it. . ? ” Aaron sighing.

“Well, how else, at that time I was only eight years old.so, I can't remember much about it, ~Even at that time my sister was only eleven years old.

In the past, we might have been just acquaintances, so it was normal that I could not remember ~ ” Alice giggled.

Judging from his sister's words, it seemed like he had completely forgotten about the other party …

Perhaps because it was related to a meeting that took place six years ago, making him reluctant to recall it.

'Huft... It looks like I've done the wrong thing.' Aaron said inwardly.

He smiled wryly unconsciously as he recalled the face of his sister who was crying back then.

'true. It's been six years since that meeting… '

The meeting was held 6 years ago .. It was organized by the kingdom of Aria, and every royal family and nobility from almost all countries of the continent gathered there.

Back then, even though every kingdom had shown their vigilance towards the Magic kingdom and considered it dangerous.

In the end, the Magic King, who was the father of Aaron and Alice, remained placed as the leader of the meeting due to his higher standing than the others.

King Ryle, at that time also brought Aaron and Alice to a meeting to make him establish a connection with the young nobles and other young ape families.

The peace talks lasted for more than two months.

The topic discussed in the meeting was the policy that each kingdom would take against the monsters and indigenous tribes who also lived on this continent.

Each kingdom attending the meeting worked together to find a solution to deal with them.

However, they did not know that the Kingdom of Aria actually had another scheme behind this meeting.

The reason why the Kingdom of Aria raised the topic in the meeting was because they were experiencing a dangerous crisis.

In fact, on the western side of the Aria kingdom there was a coalition of Dark Elves tribes with great strength, both sides had been at war with each other for a long time.

The war happened because, the kingdom of Aria who unilaterally claimed the large forest in the west is part of his kingdom and tried to expel the Dark Elves who live there.

Knowing about this, the Dark Elves of course felt unwelcome and preferred to fight back.

During the meeting, the Aria Kingdom tries to join forces with other kingdoms to help him exterminate the Goblins and Giants used by Dark Elves as additional powers.

They wanted to use the power of other kingdoms to help him defeat the Dark Elves on behalf of the monster extermination operation.

The kingdom of Aria wanted to employ other kingdoms for free, under the pretext of maintaining the peace of the continent.

During the meeting, the kingdom of Aria constantly denigrates the Dark Elves who have allied with the Monsters to attract more help.

Of course, the Magic Kingdom that was the meeting leader back then was against them.

King Ryle knew from the beginning what the kingdom of Aria had planned.

At that time, King Ryle proposed to stop their war of conquest and begin to make peace with the Dark Elves.

From the beginning, the Forest was the home of Dark Elves.

Moreover, even if the Aria kingdom managed to obtain that forest, they would still not be able to manage it well.

So, it was in vain to give up the forest to the kingdom of Aria.

The Aria kingdom that heard this of course became very angry and Finally, the discussion of the two kingdoms split into three sides.

The Magic Kingdom side was the one that gained the most support, they were the ones who rejected the plans of the Aria kingdom.

While the other side is those who prefer to be neutral and do not want to be dragged into trouble.

While the rest is the side of the kingdom of Aria that get a little support.

Because of this unsatisfactory result, the hatred that the Aria kingdom had towards the Magic Kingdom became even greater.

After that, as everyone knew, war broke out a year later and the Magic Kingdom was attacked by every neighboring country.

But, even if the conflict between the Magic Kingdom and the Aria Kingdom was unavoidable in the meeting of that time.

To remove the tense atmosphere, the younger generation in each kingdom remained in contact and established connections.

Aaron and Alice are not exceptions either.

The young nobles and the royal families of each country gathered around Aaron in particular.

They talked about future economic development and military affairs such as alliance formation, They also occasionally dueled with swords and magic.

Of course, there were some princesses from other kingdoms discussing about marriage proposals with her.

However, Aaron has always avoided that problem and prefers to remain silent.

As for Alice herself, she also obtained many marriage proposals from the princes and young nobles from various countries.

But, because he was only eight years old at that time, and knew nothing.

He could only cry and ask for help from his older brother when he saw many strange people coming to him.

And that's when he meets Jeanne, the princess of a small kingdom who looks lonely.
