"Why can't I come with him?" Pieffer retorted after Guardian Aika opened the door to the dungeon for Aries only.

"You can ask your father about it later," the guardian replied then pulled Aries inside the dungeon. "See you later, Princess."

She hurriedly closed the door and Aries found himself facing two towering figures.

One was Beast Tamer Kiel and the other was probably the King of Serestral.

His eyes were similar to the eyes of the royal siblings but his stare was more commanding. He was taller than Master Kiel by a few inches. His long black hair was neatly ponytailed. Instead of a crown, a golden band was tied around his forehead. It had a sapphire rose ornament in the middle. He was wearing a knee-length blue overcoat and black boots. His posture was graceful. And like Master Kiel, the king was probably older than he looks.

Aries dropped to his knees and said, "Greetings, King Astra."
