150 Manipulate

"Let go of me, bastard! Don't you know that is a faker, not me!"

The real Faust was roaring, but everyone ignored him and even caught him directly.

Bourne, who had become Faust, had a very gloomy expression on his face and everyone who saw his haggard face could tell that he hadn't had a good rest. However, his steps were very strong and full of confidence, there was a majestic aura around him which caused everyone to feel that he was the real king.

Bourne sat on the throne with Erza, Erik, and Gajeel stood beside him.

Gajeel then looked at the black cat whose body was very muscular. He grinned and thought to make this cat as his partner, especially when he thought about both Wendy and Natsu from Fairy Tail. He remembered that both of them owned a flying cat, and as a Dragon Slayer magician, he also wanted to have one.

"King, what's wrong? What happened to you?"

Bourne looked at one of the ministers and said, "Our plan has been leaked and the people from the Earthland have come to conquer our kingdom."

"What?!"

With those words, everyone in the hall was in shock.

Erza, who stood beside Bourne, twitched her lips and wanted to shout to everyone that the one who wanted to invade the kingdom was the demon who sat on the throne, but she knew that she couldn't do that and at the same time, she was curious what she wanted to do.

Bourne raised his hand, trying to calm them down. He had gotten general information about this kingdom from Erza so the rest, it was very easy for him to settle the rest since he was very good at making a story.

"Calm down."

Everyone quickly shut their mouths when they heard Bourne's voice.

"I know that you're worried."

Bourne's expression was very sharp, even though his appearance changed to the appearance of Faust. "After all, the existence of magic from another world is mysterious to us and of course, there is a lot of magic that is capable of altering someone's appearance."

"....."

Everyone was in shock when they heard it.

"That's why I am going to stop the plan to absorb the magic from another world," Bourne said.

"What?!"

"Why, King?!"

"Why should we stop our plan!"

"The magic in our world is going to disappear!"

One by one they started to raise and they started to complain since they were unable to believe the King that had made a plan to absorb the magic from another world would also be the one who stopped this plan.

"SHUT UP, YOU FOOL!!!"

Bourne's voice reverberated through the hall.

"......"

"What are you crying out loud for? Are you a little girl? We are not going to lose our lives, it is only magic, what are you afraid of," Bourne said with a snort.

"..."

Everyone was looking at Bourne and felt a slight loss. They also weren't sure what to say at that moment since Bourne's words were too shocking.

"I know that the existence of magic is important to our lives and I can't even bear to be parted with it," Bourne said with a heavy sigh.

"Then why?"

Hughes, who was the Captain of the 3rd Magic War Division of the Edolas Royal Army, couldn't bear the thought of when he would lose his magic. "What are you afraid of, King? We have "Anima"! They have a lot of magic after all and we're only going to take some of them, right? Why do you have to stop this plan?"

"Because at that time, I didn't know the danger within that world!"

Bourne let out a heavy sigh, but then he gave Erza a signal, telling him who this guy was.

Erza let out a long sigh and whispered that the name of this person was Hughes, the Captain of the 3rd Magic War Division of the Edolas Royal Army, however, she had to admit that Bourne was more suitable to be king rather than the real King Faust.

"I know that all of you are reluctant to be parted with magic, but I want all of you to stay alive." Bourne took a deep breath and said, "And even if the magic disappears in this world, then let's create our own magic!"

"Create our own magic?"

Everyone was confused by Bourne's words.

"In the end, magic is just an energy for a lot of things in our life, then what if we change this energy with something else."

"....."

Everyone was in a daze when they heard those words.

Even Gajeel, Erik, and Erza were also in a daze since Bourne's words were just too novel for them.

Creating their own magic, such a thought had never occurred in their minds.

Bourne then stood up and shouted, "This kingdom might lose a magic, but this kingdom still has all of you." His expression was full of confidence, staring at everyone in this place.

"I know that all of you are scared when you think that the magic is going to disappear, but it is also one of the reasons why we should move forward!

So from here on, I want all of your help!

Let's develop this kingdom together and believe that even without magic, we will be able to face tomorrow!

Believe in me who believes in you!

Let's believe in the future of Edolas!"

"KING FAUST!!!"

Everyone became even more fascinated by their King since their King opened a new door for them.

Bourne nodded with a satisfied expression and shouted, "Byro!"

"Yes, King!"

Byro, who was the the Chief of Staff of the Royal Army of Edolas, stepped forward and bowed his head toward Bourne. He was also excited by the King's speech before.

"Both of them are my new bodyguards." Bourne sat down on his throne again and said, "They're Dragon Slayer magicians, they're special magicians and "Anima" didn't work on them."

"This...?" Byro was startled.

"A lot of them are in other worlds and they have come into this world to invade this kingdom, so give both of them an antidote to return their magic power back," Bourne said.

"Yes, King!"

Byro quickly took out an antidote for both Erik and Gajeel.

"Drink it first," Gajeel said with a frown.

Byro frowned, but he didn't say much and drank the antidote directly in front of them.

Bourne, Erik, and Gajeel could see that there was nothing wrong with the antidote and nodded.

Byro then gave the antidote to both Erik and Gajeel.

"Give me more," Erik said.

Byro then gave another antidote to Erik.

When Gajeel and Erik drank the antidote, they felt better since they could feel that their power had recovered.

"How is it?" Bourne asked.

"It's effective, Boss!" Gajeel said with a smile.

"I can feel my power return." Erik nodded.

Erza, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows, but didn't say much. She felt that Bourne was even more dangerous since this guy didn't even use his real power to break through and only used his wit to do so which caused him even more scary on her eyes and somehow it made her lower body slightly wet.

Erza, who knew his real identity, even felt that Bourne was a better king than Faust, which made her feel conflicted.

However, suddenly the hall, or rather the castle, was destroyed.

"YOU BASTARD!! HOW DARE YOU PRETEND TO BE ME!!"

Everyone was startled, especially when they saw Edolas's secret weapon suddenly appear and destroy the castle. They knew that the only one who could use this weapon was the King, but then...

"!!!"

Everyone suddenly realized something and quickly turned their attention to the direction of Bourne!

*Gulp!* *Gulp!* *Gulp!*

Bourne drank the entire antidote and could feel his power returning. He didn't even care that his appearance had returned to normal since one of his goals had already been achieved.

"......"

Everyone could only stare at Bourne with a shocked expression, the King that had shown such an amazing speech was in truth was a fake.

"...."

Phanter Lily, who was the black cat that was fancied by Gajeel, also felt complicated since he felt that Bourne was a better king than Faust.

Not only him, but all of them, but then again, it was different now and they needed to catch this imposter!
