4 Chapter 4: Story of Longinus (Glimpse)

At the Kingdom of Marandue where an Oracle Ningneng and now Carriage Guard Longinus original citizen. A Capital of a Kingdom named Marandue itself, and where the King's throne reside.

Inside the palace and in a certain room. A middle aged man with red hair like that of a lion mane seated, and opposite to him was a man(?) who has pale and jade white skin and thin like bamboo physique who had red-like cat eyes and dark hair, as they talk about their kingdom's future, current political issues and military affairs.

The man with red hair was the current King. And the other is his Royal Advisor and also the current captain of Kingdoms Royal Templar, or others called it military head officer and also their head strategist. He, or rather, she doesn't want to be known as a woman, that was why, she's wearing male uniform and because she's the captain of royal knights, her equipment is made for manly use. Not that all matters to this story though.

..This time, what they talking about, was the current Oracle's Divination.

She did not know until now, who her King assign to guard the Oracle, but after she recieve the news, she went straight and talk to her King. That's why, they are now inside the King's chamber.

"That aside, my King. Why did you call me here?" She asks.

"LMAO Pontius, aren't you panickly run at my throne and throw a tantrum? I invite you here for those purpose, afterall, I never seen your face that frustrated before, other than...." the King spoken as he about to opened up the past, but was cut by Pontius.

"—Stop that! I don't want to recall what happened back then! That aside, Why?" She slam the table lightly and asks with serious expresion.

"Why you dispatched him? Why not others? You can dispatch 5 to 10 City Guards or either 2 Templar rather than him, right? Why him?!" She grit her teeth while talking.

"You know he didn't grow anymore if we caged him inside the Kingdom right?" The King replied

BAM—!

"KING! I know you! Of all people, it was I who know you full well! So do tell! You are scared, right? Scared at Longinus!"

"Pontius, aren't you being too rude to a King? You're talking in a presence of a King you know?" The King reasoned with force smile.

"Thats why you invited me here right!? So others could not be heard. And enough your bullcrap, King! Tell me! Why?!" She ask again, this time, a small transparent water exited at her eyes and was about to drop. She wiped it fast.

"Y...yes! I'm sorry, thats why, I didn't ask for your consent and decided on the spot. Because she also recieve her Divination that same—"

"Enough with your excuse!" She stand up and glare at the King with her red eye full of intimidation and only clench her teeth. She's not in position to punish her own king afterall.

"You know him full too well yourself. He's a threat. That time.." Explained by the King as he intwined his fingers.

"He's a living warmachine! Bathed with his own enemies blood! Mountains of corpse is what can see on his back. A portrait, An incarnation of a Devil, like, his a living Asura himself!. Call me crazy but I was scared just looking at his eyes!" The King who looks like a king of the jungle from the first impression suddenly cowered, as he accidentally bit his lips while talking and didn't stop trembling.

"That was why, you're so damn happy after he rejected the title of a Templar" Pontius said calmly as she already sitted while the King was talking, whilst the King only nod without retort.

"But its not even a month before he become a boring City Guard and you already shased him away, in excuse to accompanied an Oracle, I'm really mad, you know?." She said so while glaring at her King, and again, the King nod.

"Since then, not you, but also the whole kingdom achieved what others cannot. Its because of a sole person, but he didn't even know himself of what he did."

She continued..

"I even approved your Forgery about the story from that time, because he's too small and fragile to bear the burden of political issue and more. But not this time."

'Fragile my arse! He annihilated the enemy you know!' He retort through thoughts.

And she still continued..

"If you make a wrong move, I'll kill you myself". The King who was listenening(?) only nod.

"Haaa!" Pontius sigh, and lean her back to her chair and place her head on top of it and as she followed a word "If.. Master is still alive, what is our present life then?"

'No no no! If that happen, I'm not the current King and don't have a reliable advisor now, you know!?' He nods and his thoughts run wild, 'What's more! This Kingdom are long since gone by that tragedy, you know!?'

..And so their 'meeting' concluded as Pontius immediately set out to front line, afterall they are still waging a war somewhere.

* * *

As Pontius was travelling, she thought "Thats why the King, Prometheus created a military uniform of Kingdom's Capital to have a red like blood, So that he'll remind himself not to get cocky, and getting arrogant, at the same time to commemorate Gin's achievement. Not that Gin know it all hahahaha." As she happily talk to herself as she laugh loudly.

{A/N: the King's name was Prometheus.'a Trickster and Wily Intelligent'}

"Either way, its also to cure his phobia about blood and its all because of Gin" as she followed. And then, she hastily move forward as she slap her horse's butt.
