Shu The king

Seven years have passed since the war held by Romulus Bermudez, the current year was 1245, and across those seven years many things happened.

Since half the human continent was destroyed, it was now the 5th smallest continent in the world, it might not sound small but considering it was the biggest, it was a big fall for human civilization.

It took 4 years for all the human kingdoms to become what they used to be, or at least 90% of what they once were; the reason for such rapid growth even despite all the destruction the war created, was the fact that Fu, Ezra, and Damada Amada who had her Fairies help the humans, made a great contribution.

Where there once used to be the other half of the human continent, now there was a city that connected to all the continents via a machine the creator; Ayami Himura dubbed ' The Train '.

She of course didn't create such a thing by herself, she had help from all the continents, she was simply the one who came up with the idea and shared the blue prints.

That city was a means for all the major kings and queens from each continent to come together and come up with universal laws to keep the peace.

The most important law out of all that the ones they had come up with, was the law of war, a law that was created because of all the destruction Romulus Bermudez caused.

The law is as follows: No kingdom shall wage war upon any other before announcing to all kingdoms that it will do such. Said kingdom should also specifically state who they are waging war against, making it so war can only be held between the kingdom who waged war and the kingdom they waged war against so that the world may avoid another massive war such as the one Romulus Bermudez had hosted, which was now known as the War of pain.

Despite all these massive changes the most surprising thing about it all, was the fact that in those seven years Shu had become King of the Elsian Kingdom, as well as the youngest man to ever become king at the age of 18.

" Mom hurry!! Dad's gonna come back today "

A small girl yelled out as she held onto her mother's hand, pulling her out of what seemed to be a castle, allowing the sun to shine upon the two.

The mother had long black hair, a tight red dress that wrapped tightly and beautifully around her goddess of a body.

She had a queen's robe that reached down to her ankle; the robe was of the same color as her dress, and at the neck it had white fur.

She had golden earrings, and heels of red.

Her daughter was wearing similar clothing, just in a size that would fit her, the only difference was the fact that she wasn't wearing any earrings and that her hair was completely white, her eyes were blue unlike her mother's who were completely black.

From behind the two girls a boy walked out, wearing a black battling kimono with white wrappings on his forearms as well as his legs; he also had simple sandals to match.

His hair was completely black like his mother's and his eyes blue like his sister's

" Oh hey Dio, how was training with Ean? "

The black haired woman questioned as she stretched out her left hand, allowing the boy who seemed to be her son to grab onto it

" It was good, he said that in two months I should be able to advance to my sanctuary level of discern! "

The boy replied, as his mother simply smiled guiding the two kids to what seemed to be a gigantic dojo on top of a small mountain next to the castle they just walked out of.

" That's impressive, if that's the case then you are stronger than your father was at your age "

The black haired woman pointed out as the two guards who stood in front of the Dojo bowed down to her

One said

" Good morning, Mrs Ayami my liege "

The other said

" Good morning your majesty "

" Wait, so you're saying I might be as strong as my father one day!? "

The boy now known as Dio yelled, blushing out of excitement whilst a smile covered his entire face

" Yes that's right, you may even be stronger than him "

Ayami replied causing the boy to smile even more, seeming proud of himself, as his sister simply pouted, frowning a bit

" You will also be strong Asami "

Ayami whispered as she placed her hand on top of the red haired girl, petting her which would make the girl now known as Asami smile in return.

The three would walk into the Dojo, walking past a few students who bowed the moment they looked over at the family.

After two minutes of walking, the family had stepped out to a backyard filled with even more students who were punching dummies, and just like the others, they would bow once their eyes had seen the three.

At the end there was a small hill which had Ean standing to the right, wearing an armor of gold, next to him was Ezra wearing a similar armor, the only difference being that Ean had a great sword attached to his back.

" When's dad coming!?!? "

Asami yelled as she quickly let go of her mother's hand running up the hill, jumping out of excitement as she looked over at what seemed to be the entrance of the kingdom, although the entrance was far, she was capable of seeing it as perfectly as she would if she was a few feet away

" They seem excited "

Ean whispered as he stood behind Ayami who simply turned her head a bit, looking up at the man with a small smile on her face

" Well this is the first time they'll get to see their father "

Ayami replied, making Ean nod in agreement

" Oh yes, I've almost forgotten about that simple fact "

Ean replied, only to seconds later look up at the sky, seeing a human figure falling from the sky with what seemed to be a Lion's head on his hand.

All Ean could do was smile as the figure then landed on the ground a few meters away from the five of them

" Long time no see Shu "

Ezra and Ean both said in unison, as the dirt of Shu's landing dispersed, allowing the five of them as well as the students that were training behind those five to get glance at the man.

The man was short, 5 foot 4 in height, pale skin with muscles all over his body, his muscles weren't gigantic but they seemed to be completely defined.

His hair was pure white, even more white than that of his daughter Asami, his eyes were blue.

He was wearing destroyed black pants, that only covered his thighs and half of his knees.

" That midget is my father? "

Dio questioned, raising his right eyebrow in confusion only to shut his mouth the moment the man stood straight.

He was releasing an insane amount of killing intent, so much so that everyone there besides Ean, Ezra and Ayami bowed down to the man.

Not only that but his current appearance frightened the kids, he had blood all over his body; with a bloody Lion's head on his right hand and on top of that his eyes looked as if they had no feelings, as if everyone and everything was his prey.

" These are my children? "

Shu questioned, his voice sounding deep and raspy, his childish nature no longer radiating from his body.

The man would then drop the Lion's head on the ground, proceeding to walk over to his daughter, crouching a bit ri later carefully and softly caress her cheek

" Dear.. "

Ayami whispered as Shu would then look up at the woman, with a look of confusion

" Yes? "

He replied, only to see her tilt her head a bit

" Ah, right "

His killing intent would then disperse as the man stood straight, looking over at his son for a few seconds to then smile a bit, proceeding to stretch his arm out and Pat Ean's shoulder

" Thanks for watching over his progress "

The man said, sighing a little as he took a quick sniff at himself

" I need a bath, I haven't taken a proper shower in three years "

Shu said as he walked down the small hill, walking passed the students who quickly bowed down to him as if they were in a hurry, as if they were in front of a natural disaster in human form.

" Mother, is that really my father? "

Dio questioned, gripping her mother's hand, causing Ayami to look down at the boy in a worried manner, only to be surprised the moment she saw a gigantic grin on his face

" So cool! "

The two kids yelled out, causing Ayami to look down at the two of them whom stopped holding her hand and ran over to their father, grabbing onto his hands

" Father we'll guide you to the bathroom!! "

After the kids guided him to his castle, helped him to the bathroom and after his shower he was now sitting on his throne, both of his children on his thighs with Ayami on a throne next to it.

He was now wearing something similar to what Ayami was wearing, kingly clothes with a robe similar to her's all of it of course colored in blue, above his head was his crown, and on his ring finger he had a golden ring, which Ayami also had.

" It is an honor to meet you my liege "

An old man said as he bowed in front of Shu who simply stared at him, making the man nervous

" Ehm-Uh, Ahem! I am a chief in a small village near the Elsian kingdom and I was wondering if I could— "

The old man stopped talking, seeing that Ayami and Shu were simply staring at him, which made him even more nervous

The man then proceeded to look around seeing many nobles, whom which stared at him with disgust, although the man wasn't dirty nor smelly, he wasn't nearly wearing as much jewelry as they were, which in their eyes made him a peasant

" What exactly is it that you want from your king? "

Ayami questioned, in a soft and calming voice so that the old man wouldn't be as nervous

" Uh, I was wondering if you—my lord, are willing to lend me, chief of the Uranari Village money, we are desperately in need of it, we've built a strong military but we aren't able to feed ou—— "

The old man stopped talking as soon as he saw Shu's cold blue eyes, making the man take a few steps back

" What will I get in return? "

Shu questioned, which cause his wife Ayami to turn in look at him in confusion, but the nobles simply smiled, because by the looks of it their king was just like them

" Our village promises a full alliance, we will support you in every way that we possibly can—but we'd like time to prosper before you can make demands so I Uh—— "

Shu took in a dee breath, interrupting the poor old man who was almost at the brink of a heart attack from all this nervousness

" Isn't that too much of a selfish request? What if you don't prosper? By the looks of it you yourself don't have much time "

Shu said but quickly shut his mouth as the old man dropped down to his knees, using his arms to hold his body up

" I will no longer be ruler of the Uranari, that mantle will fall to my son, he is a great warrior; a warrior that I think will be of great use to you "

The old man said, sounding almost as if he was begging, his voice giving up as he tried his hardest to keep the uncomfortable position he was in

" Hmm, What do you think Dio, should we help him? "

Shu questioned as he looked down at his son, shaking the leg on which he was sitting

" pardon? "

Everyone in the room whispered, as they would then begin to gossip only for them to shut their mouths once they saw that Shu was glaring at them

" Now son, what do you think? "

Shu added making Dio tilt his head a little, looking over at the old man for a few seconds

" Well I think we should just ignore his request, I mean if we do give him money and he prospers then that will be good for us, but in the case that he doesn't, we'd be in big trouble no? So I think we should just let him deal with it "

Dio said, looking up at his father with a straight face as every noble simply nodding some even whispering and agreeing with the boy

" Aww come on Dio, that's too mean "

Asami said as she would then shove her hands against of her brother's face

" Ugh, stop that "

" Then take back what you said! And stop being mean "

" Mm, fine, fine, just stop "

Dio said before pushing her away, causing Dio to pout a little before looking over at the old man

" Okay then, Father I ask that you give this man the money he needs, but in turn he'll need to pay us the money back once they've prosper, the time in which they do it doesn't matter just as long as they do so "

Dio added, before fixing his hair turning to look at his sister

" There, are you happy now!?! "

Dio yelled only for his sister to smile as she would then Pat his head

" Yes "

She replied.

" Well, the meetings over— "

Shu whispered as he then stood from his throne, carefully pushing his kids off of him to then stretch his arms out, proceeding to walk down to the old man, placing his hand on top of his head, proceeding to share some of his sanctuary energy with the old man

" That should last you for 30 more years, use that energy well old man "

Shu said as he simply looked down at the man, before walking out of the room, being followed by his kids who wanted to learn more about him

" Father!! Father!! Where are you going!? "

The kids yelled as they grabbed onto his arms, smiling to themselves

" Im going to walk around the kingdom "

" Oh! We know the best places to go to, we'll take you there! "

Asami yelled as Shu simply nodded slowly turning to look at Dio who tugged on his arm a bit as if telling his father it was his turn to speak

" Yeah! And things have changed a lot since you were away, so you'll be surprised by everything mother has come up with, she made metal things that— "

As their conversation went on, something malicious grew elsewhere, an egg with a pull of human blood and bodies around it, the suddenly shook and from that a small crack spread across its shell, and soon all around it till it bursted and gave birth to whatever was inside.
