Fate

The peaceful atmosphere was very pleasing as they sat down in their places carrying out their normal days.

But, in the other world past the door in Yuuya's bathroom, Things weren't very peaceful especially in the Alceria kingdom after the two saints had a battle with the Evil.

To fully understand this situation we'll need to go a little back in time. On the day when the battle took place…

After Yuuya and Grayfia were taken away by Apophis. Iris, the kick saint along with Lexia and Owen were baffled beyond belief at what had happened.

But the Saints thought it wasn't a good idea to stay here and they also wanted to discuss what happened today in detail.

In order to do that, they went back to the castle of Alceria's royal family in the capital city.

The two saints along with Owen and Lexia as the other soldiers and carriage would arrive two days later.

And as soon as they reached the castle they were met by a person in the audience hall.

"Would you look at that? Took you long enough to come here," All four of them were shocked at the sight for a different reason.

"F-Father," Lexia was shocked to see the king of the country, Arnold Von Alceria shaking in his boots while sitting on the ground even though they were currently in the Throne room. He looked like he was beyond scared right now.

'The Elven Queen and one of the few high elves alive, Eleanor Elshire,' Owen was stupefied by this as well as he recognized the person who was standing there.

She was someone who had come to the kingdom once before, it was right after Lexia was born, She came to take away Lexia's mother who was captured as a slave after knowing that she was bought by the king of the Alceria.

But by the time she came, Lexia's mother had already passed away. So she went back after conveying her condolences and confirming what happened.

"The Holy Queen," Iris muttered one of the titles the otherworldly beautiful woman in front of her held.

'Did she come here after sensing the evil from before?' Iris thought that was plausible but…

'Somehow ...I have a very bad feeling about this,' The Kick saint thought as he saw Eleanor.

"Let's leave the pleasantries for later, Now you stinking pieces of shit, Do you know what you've done?" Eleanor smiled very kindly while utterly not-so-kind words.

"W-What?" Iris could only stammer as Eleanor was quite different from her normal behavior, No, it would be correct to say that she was the total opposite of her how she is supposed to be.

Aside from Lexia, everyone in the room had met Eleanor and they also knew of her usual demeanor. But this was something that no one in the room could understand.

'What happened?' Iris had met Eleanor on a number of occasions; Eleanor at that time was the ideal regal and noble woman that she really truly admired, and secretly she wanted to be like that as well.

But the current one in front of her looked like a demon that had just came out of hell.

"I am asking you if you know what you have done?" Eleanor asked again.

"Well..." Iris was confused because a lot of things happened today so didn't know where to start talking about this.

"Holy Queen, Is it related to the guy?" The Kick saint asked.

"It really took you this long to understand that, how the hell did you become saints with that level of intelligence?" Eleanor asked as they only stay silent. This was the leader of the Holy faction saying this, How can they get a word out in front of her?

"We didn't attack Yuuya Tenjou on purpose, it was a misunderstanding," Iris had asked Lexia for information about Yuuya but sadly there wasn't much that Lexia knew about him.

'Is that the name he is using here?' Eleanor thought as she turned to Iris signaling her to continue since it looked like she had a question.

"Is he someone ...you know Holy Queen?" Iris asked since she got a really bad feeling about this.

"Yes, you can say that we are tied together by fate itself," Eleanor said as the previous oppressive aura around her vanished.

She was being bashful and they didn't know if they were seeing things or something, But, they could see flowers blooming all around Eleanor.

'They are ...practically married,' Iris fell to her knees with her hands on the ground, she could feel the world had lost its colors altogether.

"Why would the Holy Queen associate herself with someone who has the same energy as Evil?" The Kick Saint still hadn't let go of this till now, but as soon as he finished that sentence, all of his every single hair on his body stood up straight in sheer horror.

—That day, every living being whether they be Magical beasts or Evil or Holy, every living thing from all over the world fled for their lives.

From monsters that had a high vigilance and sense of danger due to their weakness, to monsters that were referred to as catastrophes by some countries because of their unmatched power that could destroy a country.

They all started running to escape from something. These monsters stormed past the villages and towns along the way, not even paying any attention to them, but this was more than enough to terrify the humans in those settlements since they saw all of the monsters leave their habitats.

They just single-mindedly fled for their lives, none of the monsters knew why, but they just knew that have to run as far away from that place, That place being the Alceria Kingdom.

And for the people in the Alceria kingdom, couldn't react because they were frozen in place. If one looks from above one might think that time has been stopped in this country, but the moving arms of the clock as well as the falling leaves from the trees would suggest otherwise.

So, what were the reasons for this you may wonder, It was Death. Yes, It was like Death itself was standing behind them placing a palm on their shoulders ready to drag their souls away.

This fear paralyzed their minds and bodies, they stiffened in a place like statues not being able to do anything.

It was even worse for the people in the audience room from where this originated, They were all on the ground as it felt like something heavy was crushing them down intending to make them into paste.

And this was the result when this wasn't even directed at them. The one that it was directed at, was The Kick saint who was barely able to keep his form from turning into a puddle of blood, No, it would be more accurate to that the person who did this was keeping him alive while doing this so that he doesn't die.

"What did you say?" Eleanor spoke in a voice so cold that it might freeze hell over.

"…Ugh," The Kick saint was unable to say anything, he barely had control over anything right now.

"I have many ways of getting it out of you, but don't worry it won't be painless," Eleanor was about to raise her hand but a voice was heard in her ears.

[...nor….eanor ...…Eleanor stop!!! You'll destroy the planet if you actually do that,] The Will of the World panicked, she had been trying to get through to Eleanor for some time, but she wasn't able to because Eleanor was ignoring her completely, it looked like she was finally able to since the pressure had vanished in thin air like it was an illusion all along.

'I thought I was really going to die, I can't die before marriage, No way,' Iris actually hadn't given up on Yuuya till now, He was pretty much the perfect candidate for her.

"No, I can't do that, I can't destroy our love nest," Eleanor mumbled but it was loud enough to be heard by everyone in the audience room.

'…Just kill me,' Iris lost all will to live.

"Thanks for stopping me Argena, I was about to make a huge mistake," Eleanor thanked the will of the world.

[…..S-Sure] Argena wasn't sure what to say but since the world was spared she was ok with it, she hasn't felt this helpless in a while.

"They passed out, huh," Eleanor looked at the people in the audience room, and it wasn't just them.

[All of the humans in the Kingdom of Alceria have lost consciousness, and the entire world is turned upside down, monster habitats have been destroyed and the neighboring countries have been put on high alert because of this,] Argena sighed in relief since it could've been worse than this.

"Hmm, Seems like that,"
