Edgar Vandir, the little boy who was the topic of conversation was just silent in his place. Sit obediently while daydreaming. He was completely unaffected by the surrounding situation, appearing innocent and ignorant.
“Actually I also have other suggestions,” said King Wade with a cold expression.
“...”
The three queens just kept quiet while looking at each other, not daring to interrupt at all.
“In addition to the 3rd Prince who escaped, I will give an opportunity for the husbands of the princesses who are willing to inherit this position. Of course, they have to compete in getting it.”
This time it was Queen Elizabeth who raised her hand before politely asking.
“Is what you say true, my King?”
“Of course true.” King Wade nodded lightly.
“Don't tell me, you want to nominate Princess Ariana's fiance, Queen Elizabeth?” queen Nura asked with a smile on her face.
“What's wrong with that?” Queen Elizabeth frowned.
“While I heard Prince Luciel of the Black Sun Empire turned out to be a genius youth, I also heard other rumors. I heard ... he was lazy enough to do something.”
“...”
Unknowingly, Queen Elizabeth recalls how her best friend forced her son to do something. He recalled very clearly the lazy expression on the young man's face. Queen Elizabeth then shook her head lightly.
“What you say is true, Queen Nura.”
“I think, rather than giving the throne to ‘outs of’ who can not necessarily make good changes to the Kingdom of Black Star, the 3rd Prince is obviously a better choice.”
“S-I think the 4th Prince is better. H-Only, he should be given some time to grow. S-I think .. 4th Prince's talent is better than 3rd Prince.”
Queen Frysa raised her hand and said in a somewhat fearful tone, but was still trying to support her son. Meanwhile, Queen Nura glanced at him with a cold gaze. Feeling very dissatisfied.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
Hearing the knock of the door, King Wade looked dissatisfied.
“Who!”
“S-I came to deliver urgent news, Rajaku.”
“Log in!”
The door opened, two knights entered the room then immediately knelt down.
“Say, what's the problem?” king Wade asked in an impatient tone.
“Report, King! The combined forces of Duke Zevirrius and Duke Windrivers rushed to the Capital. In their speed, chances are the troops will arrive tomorrow morning.”
Hearing the report, King Wade frowned. He's feeling a little depressed. It seemed that the other party was already very impatient and decided to end the war immediately.
“Is there any more?”
“Report, King! The figure who was thought to be The Doom Knight rushed towards the Capital. Most likely will arrive in less than three hours.”
“What?!” King Wade rose from his seat.
He immediately paced back and forth in the study room, looking like he was thinking hard. Despite knowing that The Doom Knight had helped him reclaim Rowley’s Duchy. The arrival of the guest who was a level 6 (early) demon seemed to make the king somewhat nervous.
If he was in good shape, King Wade would not be too nervous. As for now, he felt nervous about not knowing whether the Doom Knight was coming with good or bad intentions.
“Gather elite troops immediately! I'll be ready. Two hours later, they gathered over the city walls. Prepare to fight!”
“Rajaku?” The knight reporting looked confused.
“Just do my command! Soon!”
King Wade did not want to explain much. He himself immediately took out his armor and prepared to welcome the arrival of The Doom Knight. If the figure did not come in peace, he would have to fight desperately with the knight.
Looking out the window where the star-filled sky was, King Wade hoped in his heart.
Hopefully the knight did not come with bad intentions.
...***...
Ciel felt bored because he kept moving for about a month and a half. Soon the winter was coming, he really wanted to be home at that moment.
Finished taking care of the matter at Rowley’s Duchy, Ciel immediately went towards the Capital. Tonight finally saw the majestic-looking city from a distance. The young man took a long breath. He got tired of sleeping in the tent. Although it is also comfortable, it is still different from a soft bed and spacious rooms.
“Washing in warm water, wine and snacks typical of the Kingdom of Black Star .. I came,” muttered Ciel while spurring his horse faster.
Arriving near the city, the young man's expression suddenly changed.
Seeing how hundreds of knights with full armor lined up above the city walls while raising their bows, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. Then he looked in a certain direction. More precisely, towards the sole figure with striking armor and level.
Yes, it was the figure of King Wade.
“Please stop there, Mr. Knight.”
“...”
Seeing the figure of King Wade who was the only level 6 demon figure in this Kingdom made Ciel speechless. In retrospect, King Wade is the father of Ciel's fiancee, Ariana. Means ... automatically the man is Ciel's father-in-law.
Experience when in-laws bring troops to besiege? Yes ... This experience is rather unique.
Despite knowing the reason it happened because King Wade did not know The Doom Knight was him, Ciel felt a bit strange. The young man felt he was becoming a drama actor where the male actor was not approved by his lover's father. Yeah, about that kind of thing.
Ciel stopped the Dark Unicorn. The young man felt somewhat curious about what the father-in-law was trying to do.
“Please tell us, what is your reason for coming to this city, Mr Knight!” king Wade said with a serious expression.
Hearing what King Wade said, Ciel was stunned. Unknowingly, a smile appeared behind his mask. Not answering the father-in-law's question, the young man instead suddenly spurred his horse and rushed towards the city wall.
Seeing the movements of the Dark Unicorn so fast and ferocious, King Wade hurriedly gave the order.
“Toothing arrows!”
Hearing King Wade's orders, the knights immediately shot arrows. Attempting to target and bring down Ciel.
Meanwhile, Ciel slightly lowered his head while spurring his horse faster. The two maneuvered superbly, avoiding hundreds or even thousands of arrows coming together.
The Dark Unicorn then leaped very high past the city walls. At the time of his jump, Ciel threw three black balls with strange runes towards the troops on top of the city wall.
“Dodging!” shouted King Wade.
The knights instantly dodged the strange black sphere. But when it hit the city wall …
BOOM UP!
Such dense plumes of smoke instantly enveloped the city walls and the surrounding slum areas. Yeah, what Ciel threw was the smoke bomb he got from Mival.
Although it did not have the impact of an attack, the thick smoke that covered a large area for quite a long time it was very good to use to escape. Ciel felt pity because such a convenient tool should be kept until it was dusty in the Mival storage ring.
Uhuk! Uhuk!
Not just King Wade, the knights instantly coughed due to the thick smoke that appeared all of a sudden. Waiting for some time while being alert, the smoke slowly disappeared.
Seeing how the figure of the knight riding disappeared with smoke like a self-styled ninja, the corner of King Wade's lips twitched.
“This person ..”
