Meeting Agrona

"I am not against inviting Professor Haru here but I don't think he would come here immediately, we should ask him if he has the time first," Merial suggested and Virion nodded since it would be quite rude to ask Haru to come out of nowhere.

Hearing the answer the Greysunders frowned.

"What do you mean if he has time Merial? What is more important than the future of the continent?" Glaudera asked with a deep frown on her face alongside Dawsid.

"It is as I am saying, But if you feel like you can provoke a person who can make three Lances sweat a waterfall with just a glance then be my guest," Merial spoke with a small smile, The others were shocked at the words they had heard since they didn't know anything about it and looked at Merial to know where she knew about this.

"It was my daughter Tessia who told me about it, So you should be thankful that I helped you before you guys sour your relationship with him," Merial spoke with a smile, She had heard about this incident from Tessia herself on the day it happened, she herself was surprised but even Alea who was one of the Lances present confirmed and even went as far as to say that he can beat all of the Lances alone with ease.

"…I really appreciate it," Dawsid said as he looked at Blaine who shrugged it looked like he had heard about it as well. But the way Merial spoke irked Dawsid since he knew the meaning of the words well.

"So, You are saying that we have another one like 'Lady' Zenobia on our hands?" Glaudera spoke with a clear look of contempt on her face.

It wasn't a secret that Zenobia and the Greysunders didn't exactly start on good terms since Zenobia who is a Human was famed as a better Weapon forger than Dwarves who were known for Forging since ancient times. But in the public's eye, the relationship improved over time and the Greysunders even gave Zenobia the title of the Best Blacksmith on the continent.

Even while it looked like they were on friendly terms publically it wasn't a secret how much these two sides hated each other, especially after the congratulation banquet held for Zenobia after she was given the title by the Greysunders.

Even while knowing how rude the comment was everyone got the message it contained and it was true. No, in a way Haru was even more dangerous than Zenobia since he had real power with his eccentric nature, while Zenobia only had political power and sway over public opinion which was also something the royal families had.

"Then can we leave it to the Eraliths since you guys seem to be close with him," Dawsid said.

"I'll do it after the meeting ends," Merial said with a smile, The Greysunders and The Glayders looked at her in surprise thinking when did the Eraliths have such a close relation with Haru to make the queen of elves talk to him herself.

"Ah, we can ask the little one to convey the message for us since she meets Haru daily for training, that is a good plan Merial," Virion said while stroking his beard.

'This way these idiots won't do something that will get us in trouble,' Virion nodded he was satisfied with this method, he knew that the possibility was low by it was still there.

Alduin looked a bit impressed at his wife as she was able to think of a solution so quickly since asking Haru to come here would be a tedious task.

"O-Of course," Merial smiled a bit nervously.

'What would they think if I told them I was about to contact Professor with a personal communication scroll? Yes, there is no need for them to know,' Merial nodded and felt her face heat up a little.

[E/N: Another one,]

Since everything necessary had been mentioned, on that note the meeting ended and they went their way, The Glayders had looked neutral, while the Greysunders were frowning. The mood around the Eraliths was a bit gloomy since they were down a Lance at the moment and had to look for a new Lance as Alea gave back the Ring Artifact to them yesterday.

With this, another day for the council concluded with the three royal families having their own agendas to attend to.

***

Haru stood up after finishing his dinner and was waiting for the others to come back after changing since they will be going to the Relictombs except for Queresha and Zenobia who were still busy doing research like usual it looked like they got something interesting.

Alea was still recuperating in the house and Randel already went back to the academy after hearing what happened. He was a little scared after learning about the incident but he still went back after talking to Haru to increase his training.

He certainly knew what would've happened if Haru and the others weren't around, This had dealt a major blow to him and he wanted to become stronger more than ever to avoid such a scenario from happening again.

After coming back from training Haru asked his clones about why they didn't stop Seris and Melzri but…

"We were curious about what type of plan they came up with to go into that 'fortress', But man that was disappointing," Haru sighed at the words from his clones since they were seeking some fun, Hell they even placed bets on how far the duo can go but they all failed since none of them expected them to fail the moment they stepped past the gate.

Haru sent the clones back into the training space so that they wanted to have 'fun', The Training space was pretty much a Bootcamp for Haru's Clones at this point.

After dealing with the clones last night Haru went to sleep and then went to the Academy in the morning when he saw Alea walking towards the training area in the house.

Queresha had informed Haru about Alea's stay at the house for a few days since she needed to check her condition daily, Haru didn't really have a problem with this and went to the academy to continue his day.

Without him knowing it was nighttime already, Haru left the house after having dinner because he had to go train in the Relictombs. Raum was sitting on his shoulder as he appeared outside of the Aether barrier seeing the one he was expecting.

Haru saw a man sitting on a chair with another man with horns standing behind the seated man glaring at him. They were none other than Agrona and Cadell.

"You are quite rude to not even have a seat for your guest," Haru said with a smile.

Hearing him Agrona smiled but Cadell shouted.

"You do you know whose presence you are in? Kneel Right no-" Cadell was going off but Haru looked disinterested in his words and spoke.

"You will have to do I guess," Haru yawned before Agrona and Cadell could even react, Cadell was already on his four limbs in front of Agrona and Haru sat down on his back facing Agrona.

"It is quite uncomfortable but whatever," Haru shook his head as Agrona looked amused.

'When did he do that? What type of power is this? Something like mind control? No that would be selling it lightly,' Agrona was thinking about Haru's powers as Cadell looked up in shock.

"W-What? Did you do to me you bas-hmp," Cadell's mouth snapped shut while he was talking it was clear it was Haru's doing.

"I don't like speaking chairs," Haru said plainly as he looked at Agrona who had a little surprise on his face.

"Your soul is really strong, You aren't even affected by my attack," Agrona said with a small smile.

"Oh! Did you try something?" Haru asked with an amused look.

"Yes, you didn't feel it? I tried to attack your soul in order to kill you," Agrona asked with a little confusion.

'Then how was my attack stopped, Did I perhaps overestimate him?' Agrona thought but he got the answer the very next moment.

"No I felt something, But your 'attack' was so weak that I missed I didn't register it as an attack," Haru said while looking at Agrona.

'Weak? Interesting,' Agrona's eyebrow wriggled a little in annoyance.

"So then, let me get right to the point since I have things to do after this, Why did you send your subordinates to capture Zenobia?" Haru asked simply without mincing his words.
