The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chapters 83. Old Friend

Jeanne Pov.

The moment he entered the [Throne Room] the sight he saw inside the room really took him by surprise.

He had visited other kingdoms several times while doing foreign duties and had never seen such a luxurious throne room.

Even when compared to the throne room of his kingdom, it was like comparing a simple house of ordinary people with a luxurious house of nobles.

The difference is too far.

In addition, even though they were underground at this time, Jeanne did not find it difficult to breathe and the air around her also did not feel moist like a basement in general.

'Incredible, is this the influence of magic? ' Jeanne wondered.

However, that was not what caught Jeanne's full attention, but rather the two who were sitting on the throne at this time.

On the left, a girl who looked to be in her 12s with long, unraveling black hair was sitting on a pitch-black throne.

While on the right, a man who looked resolute with a cold look in his eyes was sitting on a milk-white throne.

The two men were seen reprimanding Dustin at this time.

Although both of them looked much different from what was in his memory. However, Jeanne can clearly recognize that they are Aaron and Alice.

Jeanne looked at Alice sitting next to Aaron.

'Alice~Chan looks a lot different than I remember, back then she was a shy and whiny girl. She would usually hide behind her sister if she was in a crowded place, Jeanne said in her heart.

From the memories of the past she had, Alice was a shy and timid girl. She would cry every time she suffered defeat and loved to complain to her brother.

Basically, Alice is a shy and cheerful plain girl or so the portrayal of Alice in the memories that Jeanne has.

'Now he looks very different from the previous one. I could even feel a faint evil aura from her, Jeanne said.

The most striking change that astonished Jeanne was the cruel expression Alice occasionally displayed and the jet-black hair she currently had.

Alice had the same hair color as her sister. But, it had already turned pitch-black as if it had been soaked into ink.

'Huft... Looks like, the cute and cute Alice~Chan has disappeared now. I don't know what difficulties you've been facing all along. Look at the big changes you have.

It seems, you have done many dangerous things before, Jeanne said inwardly with a sigh.

To be honest she felt sad to see the drastic changes Alice had. But he can only accept it.

Even this continent, had undergone many changes after the pillar of peace collapsed.

'Strength is the most important thing in this chaotic era.' Jeanne said in her heart.

After the destruction of the Magic Kingdom five years ago, several powerful countries that existed in the repel continent had launched subjugation attacks in all directions.

Even in some places, wars and massacres are still ongoing today.

It only took five years after the destruction of the pillar, the originally peaceful and calm continent turned into a mess and full of chaos.

This power struggle is not just between humans and humans. However, friction between humans and non-humans is also becoming more frequent.

"Sigh~" Jeanne sighed as she looked at the man she idolized.

Aaron also looks to have a lot of changes at the moment.

'The cheerful smile that Aaron had often shown in the past, was already nowhere to be seen anymore. Besides, why does he look so pale at the moment? ' said Jeanne in heart.

It wasn't that Aaron lost all his expressions, it was just that he had trouble showing them now because it was a side effect of the forbidden magic he had previously learned.

The pale skin he had was also part of that side effect.

'But it doesn't matter as long as you're alive, it's the most important thing. Do both still remember me? I hope they still recognize me said Jeanne.

Jeanne continued to stare intensely at Aaron, who was sitting on the throne, hoping that he would still recognize her at this time.

Time slowly passed by slowly, some of Aaron's men had left the [Throne Room].

While Jeanne was in her daydream, Ingrid's whisper suddenly resuscitated her.

"Daughter, Lord Aaron is talking to you. Be aware! " whispered Ingrid.

Jeanne who suddenly regained her senses and noticed that Aaron was looking at her right now.

"Ahems... I'm sorry! it's my fault for not focusing" Jeanne said, bowing her head slightly.

“No! I'm the one who should be apologizing here, you're my guest. However, I ignored you instead and was busy talking to my men from earlier. Pardon me for my earlier disrespect, Princess Jeanne. "said Aaron in a flat voice while bowing his head.

“No! Nah! I don't mind at all. Instead, it was me who should apologize first. Originally, I should have sent a message a visit first and not come suddenly like this. I'm sorry for my impoliteness. " The princess lowered her head deeply after saying that.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter! I'm also sorry for my previous mistakes" Aaron said.

"Sigh~ sees the behavior of the two of you at this time really makes me upset, want to until when you apologize to each other just feel satisfied." said Alice in an annoyed tone.

"Ehem... That's right what Alice said. After all, Jeanne's daughter has been my friend since I was young. So there is no need to be condescending to me " said Aaron while nodding.

"K, you remember .. I feel honored. " Jeanne said with a happy smile on her face.

He's very happy at the moment.

"Nahh, back to the main topic, I'm sure you definitely have a lot of questions that you want to ask me right now. But we save it for later.

First of all, I want to ask... How much do you know about us?" Ask Aaron in a serious tone.

“Before coming here, I've heard some brief explanations from Ingrid. Besides, I have also gathered some rumors circulating about you guys from the adventurers and made some guesses.so should I say the speculation I have right now about you guys?" answer Jeanne.

“Please tell princess Jeanne, I want to hear it. " Aaron asks.

Hearing Aaron's request, Jeanne thought for a while before replying.

"....., Your Majesty, Aaron and his little sister, Princess Alice. You two used magic power to create this Underground Labyrinth, the, to take revenge against the countries that have destroyed your kingdom before.

Or maybe, you intend to revive the Magic Kingdom using the power of the labyrinth.

Since this labyrinth was only created about a month ago, that's why the number of monsters inside is still small.

Thus, inevitably, you need to attract people from outside to enter, either to make them your subordinates or to use them as experimental materials" replied the Princess.

The two brothers looked at each other moments after hearing Jeanne's reply.

"Yes, Excellent! Hahahahahhh, as expected of the woman who once defeated me. Although there are still some parts that need to be corrected, but, most of your guesses are correct" said Aaron while nodding his head.

Aaron likes smart people and he is very happy because his friend is still the same as he used to be.
