Kai wasn’t fazed by the splendor and extravagance of the Royal Castle. Sure, it was the second-best building he had ever seen in his ti in this world, right after the Church of Gracia, but he was so used to seeing these types of buildings that his reaction to them was simple.
"Nice." He said, nodding at the castle.
"Co, hurry! Let’s et my parents."
Tyria pulled Kai’s arm and dragged him inside the castle. They went through the main gate, being allowed to pass, and went directly into the hall. Tyria looked left, then right, then forward, not knowing which way to go.
"Minister, where are my parents?" Tyria asked the man.
Kai wasn’t surprised to see people from the church roaming the castle. It was quite normal even in his world.
"They are currently in the throne room having an important eting."
"Thank you! Let’s go, Kai!"
"Y-Your Highness! It wouldn’t be wise to disturb them!" The minister warned
"It’s okay! Thanks anyway."
The minster sighed. "Oh dear."
At the doors that led into the throne room, the guards prevented Tyria from entering. While she was the princess, her authority did not exceed the king and queen.
"Sorry, your highness, but I have to follow orders." The guard remained firm.
"That’s fine, but what will my parents say when I tell them that you stopped from introducing the Hero who defeated the demon king?" She smirked.
The guard perked up and looked at Kai. He wasn’t convinced that he was the hero, but that subject wasn’t a light matter to talk about, so he was inclined to believe the princess.
"Oh, right." Kai pulled out the hero sword.
The way the guard’s face went from skepticism to shock needed to be studied. His heart nearly jumped out of his chest upon seeing the blade.
"I-IT’S AN HONOR TO ET YOU, SIR HERO!" He bowed so low that his head banged against the floor.
"Nice to et you, too. So, gonna open the door?" Kai asked
"Right away, Sir!" He placed a hand on the door, and a complex magic circle appeared, then shattered.
"You can enter now."
"Thanks."
The two massive doors opened to a large room with two thrones at the end of the hall. Standing below the throne were many people that Kai did not recognize, and there was even one man in shackles.
"I’ll have to see what...Tyria?" The king asked. "What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell the guards not to let you enter at this mont?!"
"Sorry, Dad, but this guy here he’s the one who saved when I ran away. He’s also the hero."
Audible gasps escaped the mouths of every person in the room. Shock filled their bodies, and a smile crept up on the king’s face.
"Well, why didn’t you say so?! Haha! Welco, young hero! It is an honor to et you." The king stepped down from his throne, along with his wife, and approached Kai.
"It’s an honor to et the Mighty King and Beautiful Queen of this kingdom." Kai shook the king’s hand while kissing the hand of the queen.
He noticed that Tyria’s father had brown skin like hers, but her mother had white skin. He didn’t know she was a mixed elf. But then her eyes gave it away. Her mother had golden eyes, while her father had silver.
The queen giggled at Kai’s complint. "Fufu, what a charr. You didn’t tell that your friend was this handso, Tyria."
’God damn! This is Tyria’s mother?!’ The Queen had a soft, beautiful, mature, motherly expression that reminded him of Erika. Her body was also sothing else. Calling her beautiful or saying that she had an amazing body was an understatent. It would be best to say that she was crafted by Gracia herself.
"Is he that handso?" Tyria looked into Kai’s eyes and blushed. "M-Maybe he’s a bit cute, I guess."
"Thanks to you, the demon king will no longer threaten our land for a long ti, and we can rebuild all the destruction that was caused in your battle. For protecting the continent and saving my daughter, you have my utmost thanks and are welco in this castle at all tis."
"Thank you, King Sarkylla."
"It’s no big deal. So, is there anything you wish to talk about?" He asked
"Uhh, I don’t know. It was Tyria who brought here. She said that she wanted to et you two."
Tyria stepped between the two of them. "Dad, he can help with Uncle."
"Hmmm, yes. Perhaps he can. Excuse , Sir Kai,"
"Kai is fine," Kai responded.
"Kai, then. You managed to uncover that my brother planned on overthrowing , and while we did manage to take care of so of his backers, my brother still hasn’t co clean. Do you think you can help with that?"
"Heh, absolutely."
The king directed Kai to the man in chains, who happened to be the King’s brother. The elf was clearly beaten and tortured to get information, but Kai could already tell that he had a tough mind.
Even his hypnosis color was red. While Thorax wasn’t more powerful than him, his mind exceeded Kai’s hypnosis ability, which wasn’t able to get stronger with points. He could only expand the way it’s used, such as hypnotizing multiple people at the sa ti, hypnotizing a whole continent, or even hypnotizing people telepathically.
"We’ve tried all sorts of thods. Torture, compulsion, mind reading, poison, mutilation, threats, and we’ve even destroyed his mana, yet he still wont talk."
"He’s one tough cookie, huh?" Kai smirked. "But for , there’s no such thing as a tough cookie."
"Trust , we’ve done a lot to his body and he’s still holding on. His mind is very strong, so don’t be surprised if nothing works." The king wasn’t expecting much, but he hoped Kai was different.
"Don’t worry, future father-in-law, your brother will talk once I’m done with him." Kai walked closer to Thorax and smirked in his face.
"You wont break . I don’t care that you’re the hero. Now fuck off, I’d rather die than talk."
Kai shrugged. "Okay." He flicked Thorax’s head, obliterating his entire body.
