"I don't want anything that we have discussed in this room to be heard by others. The identity of the guild leader is also a top secret. I only that you all as I have come to trust you." Everyone except for Julia and Watson seriously nodded their heads.
Only Julia was rolling her eyes. She looked at Alicia who was sitting next to her and wondered what reaction they will have if they learn that she is the goddess of alchemy while this woman who hides her face under a veil is the goddess of wealth.
Aditya hasn't told anyone about Julia's identity. To them, Julia is a mysterious alchemist who is in love with the King even though she tries her best to deny it or show it in front of others. At this point, even the soldiers who guard the royal palace know that Lady Julia is in love with the King. They had seen the King and the alchemist, Lady Julia walk out of the royal palace many times before.
"By the way, where is Leo?" Just as Aditya asked Watson about Leo, the whole room descended into silence until someone pushed open the door and walked in.
"Your majesty, I have returned." Compare to the past, Leo has grown a lot. The boy who had the same hair color as Aditya and made others doubt if Leo was really Aditya's little brother kneeled before the King.
"Stand up and Report what you have found?" For some reason, Leo today looked very excited. He was so excited that his body was slightly shaking while kneeling in front of Aditya.
Looking at this boy, Julia couldn't help but sigh. This boy was too thirsty for blood. His desire for revenge was turning him into a bloodthirsty machine. Julia is sure that only the existence of his sister is what that was keeping him from becoming a devil.
Meanwhile, Sarlus, Zayne, and other generals looked at each other seeing Leo. They have seen Leo many times in the royal palace and around his Majesty. They all looked at each other and wondered. 'Maybe Leo is his Majesty's little brother?' Both men had the same hair color. While Aditya's hair was dark blue, Leo's hair was light blue.
"The Graycott city has been cleared. Though some people were reluctant to leave. But in the end, we have completed our task." In Leo's eyes, there was only one emotion and that was coldness. It was very rare for the boy to show some other emotion besides being cold and stern.
"Good job. Now you can take your seat." After nodding his head, Leo took the seat next to Watson. Everyone noticed that Leo was close to the old man even though his expression remained cold. Even his little sister was very friendly with Watson and always asked the butler to play with her.
"Alicia, do you have any idea what is going on in the Nyland Kingdom?" That day when Aditya had asked Alicia to work with him, she refused his offer. But after he explained about the enemies that were aiming to bury the Istarin Kingdom, the goddess finally was convinced. The Seeker of Impurity was present in Nyland, Nepoca, and other 12 kingdoms. With Alicia's help, Aditya easily knew what was going on within the other neighboring kingdoms.
"I heard that Price Arthur is going to take the throne today and will be crowned as the Nyland King. Not only that, but I also heard that today morning, one of his brothers has been killed from being poisoned." Since Alicia and Aditya were working today, Aditya naturally included her in the meeting room.
Even a fool can tell that it was Arthur who killed his brother. Aditya wouldn't be surprised if he heard that in the following days, his other siblings also has been found dead. "But I want to know how a prince who had the lowest political support in the Nyland Kingdom managed to become the King?"
"As far as I knew, Prince Arthur actually was the least favorite to become the next King. I even heard strong rumors regarding the king having a strong interest in making his 3rd son the next king." Duke Sarlus also had kept an eye on the Nyland Kingdom knowing that the 4-tier Kingdom could become a threat to them.
"I have heard that when the Zulux Dynasty was taken over, it was Arthur who proposed the idea of attacking the Istarin Kingdom and taking over all the territories of your kingdom. The king obviously rejected the idea. As he knew that starting a war right when he is in a critical stage of finding a suitable successor, might not be the best idea for his Kingdom's future."
"The Kingdom was already divided internally. Each prince had the support of some of the nobles, so it was not difficult to know why Mark Vege refused to start a war."
"Actually, King Arthur is doing me a big favor by eliminating his brothers. I will personally attack the Nyland Kingdom and rip off his head. This is a promise." Aditya had three main targets. One was King Lewis, the second was King Ethan, and the third was Arthur, the new king of the Nyland Kingdom.
Watson knew that his master was dead serious this time. He would have asked his king to rethink twice but he knows how mighty his king is. When he went back to the Onard family, he learned the crazy things that his King has done. Right now Watson believed that as long as his king was here, everything was possible.
"Nathan, when will the army step inside the Eastcliff region?" Aditya coldly asked. Unlike Leo's coldness, Aditya's coldness was filled with murderous intent. The killing intent in his tone made Nathan slightly shiver.
"Your Majesty, the army will step in the Eastcliff region probably in an hour."
"I see. Then I shall personally prepare to welcome them. I swear on my Dragon bloodline, not even a single soldier will be spared." Without Aditya and others realizing it, the sky above them started turning dark as dark clouds covered the sky. It seems Aditya's emotions were influencing the weather. However, after a few minutes, all the dark clouds started disappearing.
After a moment Aditya calmed down. Losing his calm wasn't really the best way to tackle this kind of situation. "Alright. Let's continue with our meeting."
"Your Majesty...."
The supreme commander of this huge army was none other than King Ethan. All the joined powers agreed to let King Ethan lead this army. However, this wouldn't have been possible if King Lewis had not supported Ethan first. Many kings had even thought of making king Lewis the supreme commander as he had bought half a million troops alone. They felt that King Lewis deserved to become the Supreme commander because of his strength.
"We're going to step inside the Istarin border." Normally the border would have been heavily guarded but this time, the border was not guarded. There was no guard as Aditya called all the guards to participate in the war.
Just as the army stepped into the Eastcliff region, King Lewis started feeling as if someone was watching. He had this uneasy feeling. His gut was telling him that something was wrong here.
Seeing King Lewis looking restless and uneasy, King Ethan couldn't help but feel worried. After all, he wouldn't want to lose his precious alley.
"Sir Lewis, are you feeling okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Since King Lewis was from the mermen race and belonged to the sea, Ethan felt Lewis was feeling uncomfortable mainly because of staying away from the water.
"Sir Ethan, I am not feeling uncomfortable or anything. My instinct is telling me that something is coming. But I can't sense anything." King Lewis's instincts are what that has helped to survive hundreds of life and death situations. Whenever he is in danger, he would feel restless.
It was also at the same time, the Dragon Monarch was around 9000 meters above the sky. The dragon Monarch could be seen wearing black armor covering his chest, stomach, and shoulders. This was the first time Aditya had ever worn armor during a battle.
Using his storm flight, Aditya was standing somewhere around 9,000 meters above the sky. Right now his vision was blocked because of the white clouds. But the white clouds weren't going to prevent him from using his attack.
[Your majesty, the army has stepped inside the Eastcliff region.] Aditya was using the earring to communicate with Watson and his other generals. He made replicated the original three earrings into 15 earrings. The earrings had a range of 100 km.
[Got it. As soon as I am done with my part, take command and bring the whole army. This time, we're not going to capture war prisoners. Every single soldier will be slaughtered.]
[Understood your Majesty.]
Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
