Chapter 231: Lord of the North sea
"Is this really a kingdom or a village. I an tales I used to hear about the hidden elf kingdom, I used to think it was paradise... instead this looks like rehabilitation" Grim said as he walked the street.
Katherine stopped in front of a vendor.
"Ohyaa, pretty lady, do you want so"
She began to drool as she stared down at the multicoloured candy the woman was selling. Azes jumped up and slapped her head.
"Really?! What else do you know asides food"
"Master Azes, I advice you desist from treating
like your little sister, it is unsightly" she said as she jacked out of her delusion thanks to Azes slap.
Grin glanced back and shook his head,
"I guess they are having fun" and looked forward, ’I wander if all is going well with master Rein’ he thought.
....
Rein stood ters apart from the king who was sitted on a long chair placed on the higher basent of the courtroom, surrounded with stairs.
"So...stranger, I was told that you seek my audience, you can speak" the King said.
’Ah, damn, this bastard deity-self, why is his seating up there wounding his ego, I an he’s a king’
Rein cleared his throat and bowed his head a little,
"My na is Wimberly Reinard, I seek your assistance, I co from a far distance because I seek to craft bodies, and in order to craft really strong bodies I will need a wood from your precious elven tree. If you would -"
"No" the King answered before Reinard finished.
’This bastard, cutting ...’ Rein sighed slowly trying to calm himself.
"Why not? If I am permitted to ask" Rein said politely.
"Uh?" The king made a disgusted face, "do I need a reason to not give you what belongs to ?" The king said.
’He’s right’ Rein thought.
Rein sighed again and went on one knee,
"I really need it, if you would please at least explain to
what I can do to get your approval"
"I said No and that’s it" The King said.
’You are too soft Rein, the other you should have really taken over’ Huemac said.
Rein ignored him and instead stared at the King.
"You can leave if that’s all you want to say"
"I’ll give you a rematch" Rein said.
The King who closed his eyes opened it and sternly stared at Rein, his grey hair shined as the sunrays slapped the left side of his face. He slowly touched his beards and sat up.
"Your utter defeat of the white dragon, I’ll give you another chance to fight him" Rein said.
The King smiled,
"I suspected when my own trusted advisor sincerely begged
to hear what you have to say, sothing indeed felt fishy when you first entered, you felt like an ordinary man, too ordinary. But now that you speak like this, I know for sure that you are sothing...tell
stranger. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!!" The king said, shouting at the end of his sentence.
Rein lifted a step and by the ti the step would touch the ground he was already so close to the King.
’What? Flash step? No...it’s faster, did he warp?’ The King thought.
"Have you ever heard of the Lord of the north sea?" Rein asked, close up to the King who subconsciously but slowly, shifted back.
Rein moved back and gave the King a breathing space.
"Give
the tree, I’ll arrange a rematch between you and the white dragon, she has been a bad child these days anyways" Rein said and smiled at the King.
’...a bad child’ the King thought.
Rein stepped outside. lia and Lorak looked at him but they are looks were different.
’This is him, the one who will lead us to salvation, the one who will at last make us free’ lia thought.
Lorak grunted and walked out as Rein left.
...
Rein arrived at Ceredic’s shop imdiately,
"We shall start the preparation"
Ceredic who was sculpting a wooden doll stopped,
"I didn’t know you were here, I was so consud in what I was doing, ever since receiving that skill of yours, everything I have been crafting has been a masterpiece, I am really appreciative" Ceredic said.
Rein smiled and said, "Wait till you experience the true masterpiece"
Ceredic bowed deeply to Rein, "shall we go gather the materials then" he said.
Rein sat down, "Yes, go gather them" he said.
Grim arrived just in ti.
Ceredic looked a bit puzzled but then he thought, ’Of course, I can’t ask a deity to go pick materials with ’
Ceredic stared at Grim, "You are?"
"Take him as an assistant, show
everything you do" Reinard said.
"Yes sir" Ceredic answered.
Afterwards Azes and Katherine entered into the shop, Azes jumped on Rein while Katherine sat adjacent to him and watched him pat Azes, likewise Ceredic and Grim left to gather materials.
"It’ll be a long day" Ceredic said as he left.
...
"Thanks to the mutual submission and handover of Perrigwyn things has been going smoothly, the unification process is smooth, though not all of Canleigh’s court are agreeing but he Tower master who holds quite the influence is helping
now, plus Fenrir, it may look like their good on the outside but on the inside, Fenrir’s Court is ssed up, the whole making Reinard the hero in order to make him the king is an obvious plan that the inner circle nobles are now trying to counter. If worse co to worse, we would kill them all....all this... I an all this, I have on my table, he then asks
to rebuild a kingdom from the scratch, a kingdom that is nothing, not to even consider the distance, it is completely out of place and out of out plan, I an why is Sir Reinard doing this to ?! Eh? I an yes I saw sothing in him, but it wasn’t like this, see, see" Yhuzia pulled his hair as he nagged, "at this rate I’ll beco bald, all my hair is going...and we have not even started with the Forgan empire, we still have to be wary about Azure and Cullin too...we really have no ti and resources to spare"
"I’m sure Reinard has his reasons" Jon said.
"You think so?" Yhuzia asked.
"Not really, he probably just pitied them, right from the academy Rein has always been a pushover, being a deity didn’t change that part atleast" Jon smiled.
"Are you smiling right now...?" Yhuzia said.
"Do your work Yhuzia, it’s not like you can refuse him anyways" Jon said and walked out.
Yhuzia slapped his head on the table, the pile of papers in front of him was tossed around by the wind of the impact.
On getting outside, Jon t Arnette in his armour.
"Just coming from battle?" He asked.
"Apparently, the neighbouring tribes, kingdoms and even bandits see this as an opportunity, so I’m rounding up he troops to deal with of them"
"All three kingdoms?" Jon asked
"Yes" Arnette answered.
"Good job" Jon patted Arnette’s chest and walked away. Arnette entered into Yhuzia’s office.
"Sir Yhuzia?" Arnette called out, "we have suppressed all the rebellion"
Yhuzia flipped his head up, the papers flew around again, "all?"
"Yes, all"
He stood up and hugged Arnette,
"You are the only person that loves
in this crew. Thank you so much, now I have to worry less about revolts and focus on the rge"
"But I must report sothing" Arnette said.
"...what is it?"
"My scouts gave an information about an unusual movent in the empire, even though its amidst guilds, I still suspect that we need to be ready for sothing, I don’t know if you get ..."
"I get you, it’d be weird if guild bureau sat still after Jon barged in" Yhuzia said as he folded his arm.
"What do you need
to do?" Arnette asked.
"Hmmm, gather your best n, we should surprise them and also show them that we are not scared of them" Yhuzia said.
"Sir Yhuzia, I don’t know if I’m in any place to say this, but the guys have been fighting for a long ti, they are not in their best state and this may affect their morale towards the Forgan empire war, they need rest for that ti and we are short on soldiers, resources too, materials, equipnts, we are in no condition to face the guild bureau" Arnette said.
"Don’t worry Arnette, we won’t be fight them... we will just be giving them a scare, since they don’t know the strength of our military, let’s bluff to them a little."
"What if it doesn’t work?" Arnette asked.
"Well, we have a dragon" Yhuzia smiled evily and he said.
"You are not thinking of sending..."
"Of course, since Rein has been making a shit of , I have to return the favour don’t I?"
