-Morning at the border of the beast territory, North Kingdom-
You can see many tents standing near the edge; the tents are also surrounded by an earth wall. This was the temporary base of the royal soldiers to withstand the beasts' attacks that had recently appeared.
Inside one of the tents, a couple could be seen enjoying their breakfast quietly.
"Honey, how about we ask permission to go ho now? Idk...I feel sothing bad will happen. " This woman is Leona, who is currently on duty with Bastian.
Bastian shook his head. "But we already took ti off during the Desmond case; that's why we are still here, to make up for it."
"Maybe if we ask Noe- again."
"Sorry, master, it looks like the other Beasts are heading to this location." Before Leona could finish speaking, a soldier entered their tent.
Hearing this, Leona and Bastian nodded, and the soldier then left.
Bastian then continued eating while looking at the war map on the table."Lately, the Beast Races were getting more and more fierce."
Leona snorted."Hump, if it weren't for this ugly animal, maybe we could take Alice to the academy."
Since the king's party, they'd never co ho again; they couldn't even send Desmond ssages or their servants.
The Beast Race's sudden surging attack overwheld the kingdom, so it had to send Bastian and Leona to deal with this situation.
Even after they helped, not only did the Beast Race's attacks not dim, but they got fiercer. Each of the beast race beasts seed to care less about their lives, continuing to advance even though they were injured.
The treatnt of beast races is detrintal to humans and harming themselves; many beast races who were injured did not die from human hands but were trampled by their own kind.
This situation made Noel even more convinced to keep Leona and Bastian on the border. As a candidate for Grandmaster, Noel must be able to make wise decisions; he was afraid that if this is allowed, the beast race might attack nearby villages.
…
Taking his sword, Bastian gets up and gets ready, while Leona takes several bottles filled with blue liquid.
After finishing getting ready, they then stared at each other for a mont before finally, Bastian approached Leona and kissed her cherry red lips.
"Hmm, let's go later; we're late." Pushing Bastian, Leona imdiately rushed out with a red face.
Seeing this, Bastian smiled and followed her.
…
But when they ca out, the scene was not the sa, where the soldiers usually took turns defending the fort and killing the beast race.
This ti, a Sky-hunter was seen among the herd of beasts, which made everyone in the camp lose their fighting spirit.
One of the soldiers who was not strong enough to endure fear approached Leona and Bastian. "Master, how about this, should we go back and make further defenses?"
"No, I will face it," replied Leona, who did not look at the soldiers in front of her; her gaze was focused on the Sky-Hunter, who was floating in the air, slaughtering several soldiers who were above the fortress.
"No, we'll handle this." In contrast to Leona, Bastian approached and held her hand. "Order everyone to hold back as much as possible and don't approach the Sky-Hunter.
If one of you is trapped or targeted by a Sky-Hunter, imdiately run or help so that there are not many victims."
In this camp, Leona is the highest chain of command, while Bastian can be her representative because of their relationship and Bastian's unique status as a Dual-Class.
"Yes, Master!"
After the soldier left, Bastian and Leona's expressions turned nervous. "Sky-Hunter, huh ... this will be a tough fight, honey; if you can't handle it, run and let ."
"But we all know that this will be impossible; I'd better be with you until the end." Leona hugged Bastian while holding and kissing his cheek. "We can't end here; there is still Desmond and Alice to be treated."
Seeing the worry in Leona's eyes, Bastian chuckled and kissed her forehead. "Don't worry, if sothing gets out of hand, we just have to step back and accept the anger of the pri ministers."
"Hmm." Leona nodded and leaned closer, stroking her cheek against Bastian's, wanting to find his warmth.
…
Sky-Hunter is a Beast Race classified as 'A.' rank. Sky-Hunter's appearance is a giant white lion with white wings; it is said that the Sky-Hunter power is equal to the 3rd Wizard or 3rd Swordsman.
Sky-Hunter also rarely hunts or attacks humans. It's just that the situation this ti is bizarre since the Beast Race's continuous attacks, with an additional 'A' level beast attacks, then there are possible signs of another Dragon Beast appearing.
Beast, who is already classified as 'C' level and above, will have intelligence like humans. They have their pride and do not want to be ordered by another beast without advantage; only the upper class or stronger beasts can rule them.

At the sa ti, in the throne room.
Sanders is reporting the incident about the massacre that occurred in the tavern in front of Edward.
When Edward heard this, he raised his eyebrows. "Have you handled that case?"
Sanders' palms were sweaty, and they also looked very pale. "Y...es, we've sent an investigation team for that."
* crash *
The audience saw a crack suddenly appear in front of the king, and Sanders was nowhere to be seen. But a groan was heard, and they saw Sanders' body leaning against the throne room door.
They turned to Edward and felt his aura co out, pressing on everyone in the room.
"Finish quickly." Edward's voice echoed throughout the room, making those who were active outside the throne room feel a chill that made the hairs of their necks stand up.
"Yes, your majesty!" Everyone in the room answered in unison while lowering their heads.
* creak *
The door to the throne room opened, and they saw that Edward had co out.
* slam *
After Edward left, only then did everyone raise their heads to see Sanders' condition. Sanders was severely injured; when the king opened the door, he accidentally threw Sanders's body to a nearby pillar.
Everyone was horrified and also pitied him except for one person, Hols.
He was delighted to see Sanders' attempt had failed and was eager to laugh when Sanders flew and hit the door, but it would be impossible for him to do so in front of the king, given what the king had said before.
Now that the king was gone, the laughter from Hols was released to the amazent of those beside him.
"What's so funny, Mr. Hols?"
Seeing that only he was laughing, Hols answered them all with a broad smile.
"Eh, don't you see that loser? He was thrown so contemptuously in front of all of us, hahaha."
Hols's laughter grew louder, and he also pointed at Sanders, who was now unconscious.
Hearing this, the people beca angry. "Instead of bullying him, why not help?"
"Aren't we all in one boat if that king gets angry?"
One by one, the people shouted at Hols and….
"Do you hear us ?!" One of them stepped forward, grabbing Hols by the collar.
"You crossed the line." Hols's laughter stopped; he stared at the person in front of him like staring at a pig. "Or I will send you to the beast territory."
The man imdiately removed Hols' collar and retreated slowly back into the crowd, aware of his position. Even though the matter was over, so of them still looked at him with disdain.
The throne door opened again, and the guards ca and wanted to take Sanders but were stopped by Hols.
"Wait a minute." He walked over to Sanders and then spat in his face. " This is what you deserve, hahaha. "
Even the guards who saw this were furious and wanted to catch Hols straight away. But they knew that if they did sothing like that, they would be the ones to lose because Hols' position was very high.
After spitting on Sanders, they saw Hols leave, and only then did the guards dare to lift and lay Sanders on a stretcher.
