71 Stupid Takashi

~

'Wait Raul? No, it can't be. There's no way a summoned hero would be living inside the adventure guild'

"I won't ask the reason why the whole Henson Kingdom is here but if you would like to be part of our kingdom please follow me."

Some of the guards couldn't accept the fact that Amanda ignored the king of their kingdom and decided to raise complains.

"Your Highness! Let us punish her for ignoring you."

The moment the words come out from his mouth. The surroundings become tense. Numerous killing intentions can be felt from all directions. Those that could stand it either vomit out their lunch or faint straight away.

"Guards arrest that man!"

Without hesitation, the guard that tried to show his loyalty is caught and beaten. Until everyone unable to recognize his face, it is then that the killing intentions stop.

Eruptions of coughing and relief are heard among thousands of people. They know that all these while the people that were trailing them is none other the Gwendal Kingdom.

"Dangerous."

"I agree, but do we have any other choice? We can't turn back there's no such thing as home anymore."

"You're right..."

"Father let's go. THOSE THAT BELIEVE IN HENSON KINGDOM FOLLOW US IN!"

Sena glances towards Takashi and sighs to herself, why did she love this man in the first place? No matter, how much she wants to hate him, her heart still loves him and wants to be with him at all times.

She feels like a prisoner where her heart is chain to Takashi and whatever happens to him, she can't help but worry. Shook her head as she slowly followed behind Amanda, the princess of the Gwendal Kingdom.

Continuous gasp are heard every time a new batch of people come inside the illusion room that Amanda has created. Mainly due to the fact they had manage to connect the two illusion room together and it is exactly a duplicate of the kingdom outside with addition of the people that are farming for the food resources.

It took half a day to get everyone inside the, no only Sena and her father even the two summoned heroes. Takashi and Mike are astounded at the fact that the Gwendal Kingdom are still able to confront the problems that is affecting their kingdom. There are even things that they never see before but different from the rest. Both of the summoned heroes appear to have their jaw wide open the moment they see a high rise building.

Unconsciously telling themselves, if possible they intend to stay and live inside the Gwendal Kingdom today onwards. They couldn't wait to get their very own shelter in which they are hoping to get due to their importance.

Their hope are crush when they are move to another deserted location, there isn't anything except for grass. Finally they saw someone approaching Amanda slowly from behind. The guys looks very ordinary and he seem to be panting and catching his breath as he walk.

Upon seeing the smile and slight bow from Amanda, everyone know that the guy is someone important and immediately stood in attention. No one dare to say a word as they might be kick out from the kingdom and die stranded outside in the forest of death.

They also knew that the Gwendal Kingdom have powerful subordinate that could even paralyze them just by releasing their killing intention. They tried prying onto the conversation that Amanda and the man but failed to even read their lips. Some are befuddled as they can't seem to generate any kind of magic power and feel that there doesn't seem to have any magic properties in the surroundings.

"Cough*"

The man suddenly towards the people of the Henson Kingdom and give a slight cough. Initially he intends to gather attention but after seeing that everyone is currently staring at him, he starts to laugh awkwardly. Amanda that is beside her starts to grab her stomach and appears in trying to old her laughter.

"Greetings! Pleasure to meet with you all. My name is Raul Evergreen, as you all have met my wife Amanda I do not need to reintroduce her to you. Next! The person that is currently in charge of you guys please step up."

Disappointing enough, Takashi turn to look at Sena and expecting her to come forward. Sighing to herself she didn't delay any longer and move in front of the man name Raul. The person that look like someone she knows.

"Eh? I-it's you Raul?"

"My, my. Sena isn't it? O-Ouch… W-Wife what's wrong?"

"You know her?"

Amanda is frowning while pouting. She waiting for Raul explanation, she doesn't mind showing her true character towards the rest of the people as she knew that they readily will give their life in order to stay inside this illusion room and would not disobey or create stupid rumors about her. For Amanda, she know as a fact that inside the illusion room, Raul is a god.

"I met her when she travelled to the mercenary guild previously."

"Remember to not called her by her name."

"Princess Amanda, it is alright. I am not a princess anymore."

"Tch."

"Eh?"

"Cough* Princess Sena, first of all, I would like you to explain the reason of your abrupt presence."

"I believe you already know the reason why but let me give you the full story. We know the real reason why the holy alliance decided to accuse the Gwendal Kingdom of joining forces with the demon king. It is truly an obvious way to eliminate the Gwendal Kingdom from the existence. From which our kingdom were force to stop our merchant from trading by means they would accuse us next.

At the same time, I hope to receive your forgiveness and would gladly receive any kind of punishment you would give to me. No matter the reason, we still sent out thousands of armed soldiers to destroy the Gwendal Kingdom."

"I already have a suitable punishment."

"Dear?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Ecchi?"

"..... Wife please don't make such assumptions. Cough* Anyway first of all there are no more Henson Kingdom anymore, declare that the Gwendal Kingdom has absorb Henson Kingdom. Next, everyone is bound to obey and listen to every instructions that I have given out no matter whether you agree to it or not."

The civilians and soldiers that couldn't accept the agreement started jeering, for some reason they have forgotten about the existence of the killers that could immediately wipe them out within seconds.

Sena started to sweat as she is put in a tough spot and in order to calm herself down she immediately close her eyes in order to concentrate but no matter what, she doesn't have any idea how to negotiate with such punishment. This is not what she expect from Raul at all, she thought he would be giving some mercy to give her some face but looking at the current situation, it is her first time she is being cornered.

"Sena, stop it we can go elsewhere."

'Stupid Takashi, where the hell are we going to survive? Sure Mike could create raw food materials but he is just alone, does he expect Mike to stick with us for six months to a year to wait for the plantation that we grown by ourselves? What if he disappear one day? Everyone would starve to death. I know he is trying to help me in his way but his current action is endangering everyone including the man in front of me.'

'Raul… He is completely a different person from when I met him.'

A sudden impact interrupted her thoughts, the pressure of the killing intentions appeared once more. Even for Sena, her holy magic power that is supposed to protect her has failed. There are others behind her started vomiting blood and coughing violently.

"Aria stop it."

The moment Raul voice our his opinion, the enormous pressure that could have kill all of them vanish.

"Now decide Princess Sena of the Henson Kingdom or do you want your people to starve and struggle to live?"

Amanda didn't have any other choice. She nod her head.

"I, Sena the representative of the Henson Kingdom would wish to ask a favor from the Gwendal Kingdom!"

"I allow it!"

"Give mercy to those that wish to not be involved on this agreement and be allowed to be free from both Kingdoms."

"Ohhhh such kindness, you are too kind to them Princess Sena or in this case Commoner Sena from the Gwendal Kingdom."

"Then you mean..."

"Yes, I will give you that favor. NOW, I BELIEVE EVERYONE HAS HEARD THE HER DECISION, THOSE THAT WISH TO NOT TAKE PART IN THIS AGREEMENT PLEASE WALK OUT FROM THE KINGDOM. I WILL YOU ALL GIVE TWELVE HOURS TO DO SO. THE DOOR WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOCK WHEN THE TIME IS UP SO BE SURE TO GO OUT BEFORE THEN. THOSE THAT STAY, I ASSUME THAT EVERYONE HAS AGREED WITH THE AGREEMENT IF I FIND ANYONE THAT DECIDED TO PROTEST OR CREATE ANY KIND OF TROUBLES. THERE WILL BE SOME PUNISHMENT FOR YOU, YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT IT."

"Dear."

"Yes?"

"Dear you do not need to shout, everyone can hear you loud and clear. You are speaking using that item called microphone afterall."

"...My bad."
