A month finally passed after the first elite warriors of the Galhala kingdom sent by the Galhala king embarked on their journey towards the secret hideout of the guardians in order to notify them about the demons and to ask their back up.
And at the same time, it had been a week since the second squad of warriors got sent with a different mission, which is to investigate the disappearance of the first squad before them. Unlike the first squad, the second squad keeps in touch with the kingdom every day, following prime minister, Allomereâs orders.
Since their priority is to investigate, they proceed with full of caution and refrain from being hasty. Itâs just a matter of time to see what they will find, so Druid Oz decided to continue to instruct his summoned insects in the search for the demon kingâs fragment of seal and to investigate the other kingdom near the Galhala kingdom.
Druid Oz present at the training grounds to train the Galhala kingdomâs soldiers once every two days, but Druid Oz takes the opportunity to train his familiars every day as well. His magic beasts that standby at the capital will help the soldiers train and improve their fighting strength as well.
In this short while, the number of Druid Ozâs infernal mosquitos and frost bees had broken through 2000, while the Electric Tarantulas and Bedrock beetles had reacher 800 in number.
Druid Oz had been feeding them lots of his mana to improve the speed of their reproduction so that he could spread more of his summoned insects to the Eastaria continent. His magic beasts had increased in number as well, but their offsprings are still cubs so Druid Oz couldnât rely on them yet.
After looking at the state of the Simalia kingdom, Druid Oz got even sure that he needs to make sure of the improvement of the Galhala kingdomâs soldiers. They didnât know the actual number of the demons inside the Eastaria continent, there is still no clear reason found about how the demons entered the Eastaria continent.
And to add that the strong guardians of the Eastaria continent still couldnât be contacted, if they add the possibilities of the strong guardians to be demonized and joined the demonic ranks as well, it means that the Galhala kingdom needs to urgently increase their strength.
(I donât know why⦠But this feeling that telling me that the worst-case scenario will be the one that turns into reality keeps on hauntingâ¦) (Druid Oz)
Druid Oz had been monitoring the battles across the Galhala Kingdom from the eyes of his familiars. The demons that attacked the villages are still just demonized magic beasts, with only dozens of actual demons acting as their superior. Druid Oz couldnât help but feel that those attacks are just decoys.
(We canât keep on defendingâ¦) (Druid Oz)
As Druid Oz continues to contemplate what action should he take, the amount of information he had is still not enough to choose an accurate option.
â*Sigh!* Iâm stuck, should I discuss this with the prime minister? Hm?â Druid Oz suddenly realizes there is a pair of round eyes staring at him at the opposite side of his sit.
âC-Charnia!? Since when did you enter?â Asked Druid Oz, surprised, as he didnât sense her presence at all.
âItâs been about 10 or 20 minutes before. Ren is so absorbed in staring at the map so I didnât want to bother. And since Renâs face when heâs deep in thought is interesting, I couldnât help but keep on staring,â said Charnia as her round eyes continue to gaze at Druid Oz.
âI-I didnât sense you at all⦠Seems like I got too absorbed in my thoughts, huhâ¦â Muttered Druid Oz as he about to slightly massage his forehead.
But before he could touch his forehead, a warm and smooth hand suddenly touched it and started to massage his forehead. Together with a faint fragrance of orchid that suddenly entered his nostrils, the familiar white-haired girl entered Druid Ozâs view as he shifted his gaze above.
âThat was surprising, Clariaâ¦â said Druid Oz as he stared at his fiance.
âRen⦠Iâm happy that youâre trying your best to ensure the safety of this kingdom⦠But please donât overdo itâ¦â said Claria with full of concern as she continues to massage Druid Ozâs head.
As if Clariaâs warmth got conveyed directly to his heart, Druid Oz could feel his head and his heart got warmer as the tension heâs keeping inside his body is starting to relieve itself.
âIâll take on your adviceâ¦â Replied Druid Oz.
âStop!!!!!â Charnia suddenly jumped towards Druid Oz.
âC-Charnia?â (Druid Oz)
âC-Charnia!? What are you doing!?â Scolded Claria.
âFrom now on, I forbid sister from touching Ren!!â Charnia suddenly said an unexpected thing with a pout.
âE-Eh? Why?â (Claria)
âYouâve been getting too close with Ren these days! And Iâm the one who met Ren first and Iâm the one who invited him to this kingdom, you know! Even though you imprison him the first time you met him, why did you be the one who gets to marry Ren!?!?â Charnia shouted her protests.
âE-Ehâ¦?â Druid Oz took a longer time to process Charniaâs words.
âFufufufu!â Claria let out a laugh that was similar to her motherâs as she holds my arm.
âItâs all because Iâm older than you, Charnia. If youâre old enough, you might be the one who will marry Ren first. Wait when youâll older, and you may become Renâs second wife,â Claria suddenly decided Druid Ozâs second wife without his consent.
âUghâ¦â Charniaâs face got red in anger. Looking at Charniaâs face, Druid Oz pats her head.
âLetâs take a walk outside, shall we? Iâm thinking of having a stroll to refresh my brain,â Druid Oz proposed the idea that crossed his mind to stop Charniaâs anger.
âWe never take a stroll together with the baby cubs yet before, arenât we? Letâs show the baby cubs the capital city,â (Druid Oz)
Hearing Druid Ozâs invitation, Charniaâs expression changed in a split second.
âYes!â Answered her cheerfully.
âLetâs go then,â (Druid Oz)
Bringing the baby cubs, Druid Oz, Charnia, and Claria walked together in the capital city. Druid Oz alone is already stand out enough to invite the attraction of the surroundings, adding Claria and Charnia holding both of his arms, and the baby cubs following them, they completely draw everyoneâs attention.
âIs that the rumored fiance of the princess?â
âAh~ How lovely those baby cubs are~â
âSo thatâs Ren Arken, huhâ¦â
âA-All of those magic beast cubs are his familiars?â
âGood afternoon, Princess Claria! Princess Charnia! Lord Ren!â
âGood afternoon, general princess!â
âGood afternoon, general princessâs fiance!â
Everyoneâs attention is drawn to them. A mighty foreign emperor, walking with two princesses on each side, and tens of cute magic beast cubs walking together with them, the sight felt like an image from a painting.
Everyone greets Druid Oz, Charnia, and Claria. Some of the people pet the magic beast cubs and give them food, and some sent their good wishes towards Druid Oz and Claria, hoping they will give the kingdom a mighty successor.
Druid Oz, Charnia, and Claria kindly answer and reply to their greetings. While at the same time, the Galhala Queen and the Galhala King watched the scene from the top of the royal palace.
With their sharp eyes, they stared at their daughters walking together with Druid Oz and the magic beast cubs.
âThe sight sure felt like a painting, that Ren. His existence truly felt like a miracleâ¦â Muttered the Galhala king.
âThatâs unusual for you to say such poetic words, dear,â (Galhala Queen)
âS-Shut itâ¦â (Galhala King)
âBut indeed⦠Looking at them warmth my heart⦠It made me look forward to their futureâ¦â Muttered the Galhala Queen as tears started to appear at the corner of her eyes. Looking at her daughters smiling joyfully together with the citizens made her about to cry in joy.
âTrue⦠It made me feel glad for surviving until now⦠If Allemore saw this, he must be making a flood of tears because of Clariaâs and Charniaâs smiles, but he will be biting his sleeves in anger because of the sight of them holding Renâs arms,â said the Galhala King with a small laugh as he imagined the figure of his old friend.
âFufufu. Thatâs true. This peace⦠I hope-â (The Galhala Queen)
âSomethingâs wrong,â The Galhala King suddenly cut the Galhala Queenâs words.
âW-What happened, dear?â (The Galhala Queen)
âRenâs complexion changed. He sensed something,â (Galhala King)
The Galhala Queen focused her eyes and saw that Druid Oz is closing his eyes, and the magic cubs are roaring and howling to the west side of the kingdom.
!!??
The eyes of Druid Oz, the Galhala King, and Queen met.
The Galhala king and queen are surprised at how Druid Oz could sense them, but theyâre more focused on what heâs about to say.
âEnemies. Danger,â (Druid Oz)
