Percival’s words shocked Zaja. The idea that the King would happily let his wife cut him just to be a cuck sounded completely crazy. But thanks to his sharp sense Zaja caught a strange scent coming from the King and he realized that the King was not thinking clearly.
"Is it so kind of spell?" Zaja muttered to himself. "The Queen Mother must be the one behind it, she does have a hard life though. She has to protect the Royal Family from enemies outside and from their own foolishness inside... poor woman, if she wasn’t always trying to uncover my secrets and use my powers, I might actually feel bad for her."
He was a little impressed that, even after being completely emasculated, Percival could still act like a strong, commanding King in front of his people.
"Well, this is all very nice, but I am not going to the Institute Of Halo," Zaja said. "So I don’t need you’re help with that for now. And even if I did go, it would be either as an unranked nobody or as a five star top talent with Special Grade mutation."
"You either enter looking weak as hell and then surprise everyone with razz style, or you enter as a boss and then do even better than expected. Looking average is never okay."
The King frowned. "Then where are you going? To manage your new properties? Can’t Elyria handle that from far away? Honestly, even Hillary could do it. You have both of them, so why bother with such small tasks your self?"
"Who said anything about managing lands? No, I am going to Chatillon Island," Zaja replied with a bright smile.
Percival’s eyes widened. "Zaja we’ve only known each other for a few hours at most, but I already see you as the son I never had, the future of my kingdom, a young man I won’t let throw his life away. You cannot go to the enemy land of Blackfield Gorge, that is their capital, have you lost your damn mind, or are you about to?"
"The main thing I need to be truly happy is stuck in the Blackfield Gorge," Zaja said. "No matter how much fun or wealth I have here, I can’t really enjoy it until she is with . So, no matter what it costs, I’m going to Chatillon Island and coming back with her."
As he spoke about his dear half sister, Zaja’s voice beca softer and a sad smile appeared on his lips.
Percival said nothing at first. he called up a news card from the royal journal and squeezed it in his hand.
A large violet screen popped up in front of Zaja showing surprising news.
Zaja’s mouth fell open, and his eyes went wide in shock and he felt his heart skip a beat.
"I heard this morning," King Percival said. "People say she summoned warriors from the corrupt worlds and has been doing so for so ti. But lately, she got sothing that made the process much faster..."
"... using her new elite forces, Lady Xena Apotheosis cleared more than 100,000 square kiloter of a weak country of the coast of the continent. And as ti passes, her numbers and power keeps growing..."
"I hate to say it, but the continent... is in a loosing position. So, Zaja I don’t know who you plan to challenge in the Chatillon Island capital, but if its anyone from the Apotheosis family, please give up now. With Lady Xena leading them, they are and always will be the true rulers of the continent even though the Ironforge Dominion is leading economically."
The Kings voice sounded tired and defeated.
For as long as he could rember, King Percival had dread of the day the Ironforge Dominion would spread its influence across the continent. Even if he wasn’t the one to make it happen, he was fine as long as his children and grandchildren did.
Every Ironforge Kings taught this dream to their heir. But now, before his nation could grow strong enough to carry them to new glory, an unbeatable overlord had risen— one that scared everyone just by existing.
It was truly depressing.
But Zaja just smiled weakly. "Giving up ans failure is sure. I can quit many things. This is not one of them."
Seeing he couldn’t change the vessels mind, King Percival lowered his head and let out a long frustrated sigh.
He had no idea the situation was not as hopeless as it seed. Zaja only wanted to rescue his half sister not bring down the entire country of Blackfield Gorge. But if he needed to do that to save her, then he definitely will.
And if the plan he had already started working on went well, he could do it without a big fight.
But it would be much trickier than conquering the Dominion. To free Lira without loosing his life, Zaja first had to use his talents beco the top man whore in all of Chatillon capital!
