Seraphina purposely trailed off after making her initial speech because this was Blackfire's plan to pressure Darius to a compromise.
And it worked like a charm.
The Saint begged Lux to make the World Announcent stop.
Naturally, Blackfire paid attention to Darius the entire ti, so when the Saint realized that his Fate was sealed, it decided to be rciful and asked Seraphina to put their plan on hold.
However, just before Blackfire was about to return to its Master's room, it sensed the presence of soone very powerful arriving in the city.
It was not only the Black Coffin that sensed King Septimius' arrival. Seraphina sensed him as well.
Naturally, everyone inside Lux's room also sensed the presence of the ruler of Agartha, which made Darius' face turn a shade paler.
Before anyone could even react, a man who seed to be in his early thirties appeared inside the room with a frown on his face.
"It seems that sothing very interesting is happening here," King Septimius said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Can soone tell what's going on?"
Everyone inside the room imdiately pointed at Darius, making the King of Agartha look in his direction.
"Darius, it has been a while," King Septimius stated. "It's good to see that you are in good health. Where is Sion by the way? He should have sensed my presence. Why isn't he here?"
"About that, Your Majesty," Darius smiled bitterly. "Actually…"
The King of Agartha then raised his hand to stop Darius from finishing his sentence.
"We can talk about Sion later," King Septimius stated. "I heard sothing very interesting just now, and I was wondering if you can tell what happened and why. Did sothing happen in this city? Make sure to start from the very beginning."
The King was still smiling and seed to be very amiable. However, Darius could tell that his ruler was just putting on an act because the Highlanders were inside the room.
Left with no choice, Darius began to report everything that happened. From the mont Sion ordered the Bounty Hunters to capture Lux, up to the point where it ended in a fight. Lastly, he told his King what happened to Sion.
From start to end, King Septimius didn't reply and only listened to the Saint's report. When Darius stopped talking, the Ruler of Agartha rested his hand on Lux's shoulder and smiled at him.
"You brat. You dared to blackmail a Saint and even planned to tarnish my good na?" King Septimius said. "It seems that you need so discipline."
Suddenly, Blackfire appeared beside Lux and even moved close to the King of Agartha, as if staring at him eye to eye.
Rows of text then appeared on the black coffin's surface, allowing the King of Agartha to read them.
[I wouldn't do that if I were you. Earlier, this Old Man had the sa domineering attitude as you. However, he realized his mistake and even pleaded for to stop the announcent in your Kingdom.]
"Hoh? So it was you who was responsible for that fake Announcent." King Septimius narrowed his eyes at the black coffin that was hovering re inches away from his face.
Words appeared on the surface of the black coffin, allowing the King of Agartha to read it.
[Yes. It was . What can you do about it?]
The King chuckled before answering the black coffin, who was challenging his authority.
"I can just snap your Master's neck and rid myself of all troubles," King Septimius replied.
Blackfire wasn't perturbed by the King's threats and replied cordially.
[My Master has a relationship with two Supres. The Dragon King and the Steward of the Crystal Palace. Just like my Master, they have the ability to instantly teleport to your Kingdom. Snap his neck, and you will face their wrath. Are you sure you can handle that consequence?]
"You're bluffing."
[You're a Supre. You should know when soone is bluffing or not.]
Just like Saints, a Supre could tell whenever soone was lying. However, since Blackfire was an object, he was unable to verify the authenticity of its words.
Naturally, he knew about the Dragon King because that being was the strongest Supre in the world.
As for the Steward of the Crystal Palace, although he had only heard a little information about her, a Supre was still a Supre and must never be underestimated.
Since he couldn't tell if the black coffin was lying, King Septimius turned to look at the Half-Elf and asked him a question.
"Do you have a relationship with the Dragon King and the Steward of the Crystal Palace?" King Septimius asked.
"Yes, I have relationships with them. In fact, my Guild Headquarters is currently stationed at the Crystal Palace, and Her Excellency, Lady Augustina, personally escorted us to our new ho."
Blackfire had used the term "relationship" making Lux's connection with the two Supres very vague.
It was true that the Half-Elf had a relationship with the two Supres, as to whether it was good or bad, that was no longer important.
As long as King Septimius thought that there were two Supres that knew the Half-Elf, he would not do anything high-handed until he had confird the news to be true.
"Can they instantly appear here in my Kingdom?" King Septimius voice beca cold as he asked this question
Supres who had the ability to instantly teleport into his domain was sothing that he wasn't too happy about.
"I'll leave the answer to your imagination," Lux replied in a casual tone.
"You are planning to dodge the question huh?" King Septimius wasn't stupid. He could tell that the Half-Elf was avoiding his question, so he pressed on. "Cleo, I will ask another question and I want you to make him answer by force."
"Y-Yes, Your Majesty!" Cleo stuttered and looked apologetically at Lux.
Her unique ability allowed her to make those who were weaker than her to do things she commanded. After being good friends with Lux, she no longer wished to use her power against the Half-Elf.
Also, she was now Lux's subordinate for a year according to their agreent. But since it was a direct order from her King, she had no choice but to do it.
"What thod can those two Supres use in order to enter my Kingdom?" King Septimius asked. "Answer !"
Cleo then used her power to compel Lux to answer, just like she did when the Half-Elf was being interrogated when they first arrived in Rishi City.
Lux's lips quivered as he fought off Cleo's compelling power.
He suddenly rembered his Master's advice to think of sothing profound in order to overco her ability.
'S-Sothing profound!' Lux desperately thought as his will was being invaded by the Saint's power.
At that exact mont, a pair of beautiful thighs appeared inside his mind. Lux montarily blanked out, and even forgot what King Septimius' questions were.
The Half-Elf recalled the mory of when his head was buried between Iris' and Cai's thighs back in the academy.
The scene was so profound that only the word "thighs" escaped Lux's lips, confusing King Septimius and Cleo.
"What thighs?" King Septimius asked. "I'm asking how those two Supres can travel to my kingdom instantly!"
"Two thighs," Lux replied in a trance.
King Septimius and Cleo were both baffled by Lux's reply. They had no idea how two thighs could instantly teleport two Supres to their Kingdom.
But the thing was, no matter what kind of variations they use to press the Half-Elf for answers, his reply would always be "Thighs, Thighs, and more Thighs".
Gaap, who was looking at his Disciple from the side, gave Lux a thumbs up in his heart.
Although he didn't know why the Half-Elf kept on ntioning thighs, he had a feeling that the thighs the red-headed teenager was talking about were the most profound things in the world for him.
