Ch 48-Watoria Knights

"Your majesty we need to send more troops, the path the fiend is taking will collide with the kingdom and everything in it!!!." Exclaimed one of the nobles in the room

"Yes yes, we need to send more so that we can buy time and find a permanent solution" supported a cowardly noble.

"No we cannot send more troops, we will only be sending out people to their butcher," said the queen with a firm tone.

The nobles kept complaining and saying that it was 'for the good of the kingdom' but Lolopechka knew that these people were only cowards sending people to their deaths just so that they could save themselves.

Her name was Lolopechka Watoria, the queen of Watoria and the Priestess of the high spirit undine.

From the young age of 16, she became queen due to her parent, the king and queen, dying from a severe illness.

It was tough at first but thanks to Undine's wisdom and support, she was able to become a proper queen.

But seeing all these nobles wanting to run away, made her wish she could execute them on the spot for betrayal of the kingdom.

But she could only sigh as that would only cause more unnecessary problems for her and the kingdom.

'calm down lolopechka, take deep breaths, and think of your next step. Stressing over these bafoons won't help you' spoke a calming voice in her mind.

Taking a deep breath she calmed down and smiled 'Thanks undine' she thanked the high-ranking water spirit.

'no problem, just know I'm here for you' spoke Undine with a voice full of affection.

With a nod lolopechka stood up and spoke out loud "Silence!, we shall send the royal knights. If we have any hope to survive then it shall be them to save us" she said as everyone became quiet and heard her orders.

With a nod, they called for the head of the knights.

Ten minutes later-

After ten minutes the door opened and a figure in blue armor walked in. He was noticeably handsome and had black hair.

"Royal knight Albert Wallenstein greets her majesty," he said as he kneeled in respect for her queen.

"It's nice to see you sir Wallenstein" she said with a smile.

Looking up at her in his kneeling position, he smiled back as he and her had a close uncle and niece relationship.

Albert used to be the Royal knight closest to her parents but once they died, Albert took care of her for a bit while she learned how to be a queen from Undine.

"How many I serve you" he asked as he held respect for her still even though they were family to each other.

"... I need you and some of the royal knights to go and defeat the dragon, I know what you are thinking but you are our only hope" she spoke in a grim tone.

Albert only widened his eyes in surprise but shook off his face. "I see, if that's the case then I only wish for you to take care of my daughter in my absence"

"What! I can't do that what about aria isn't she going to take care of her" she exclaimed in surprise.

"... Your majesty I'm fully aware that you know her true form as a spirit, and I'm sure that it was Lady Undine who told you so. If I am going into battle and beat that dragon, I will need my wife's strength even though I wish it not, I need her support or I won't have a high chance of winning this battle." he retorted

A grim expression appeared on her face as she contemplated his words

With a sigh she said "Fine, I shall take care of Aiz until your return" she answered in defeat.

"I thank you Your Majesty, allow me to say goodbye before leaving," he asked as Lolopechka nodded and dismissed him.

"Sigh if it weren't for that damned dragon"

"Honey I'm home!" yelled Albert as he opened the door of his mansion. Being the head of the royal knights has its benefits, and one of them is having a good living environment for your own family.

"Honey your back!" said a sweet voice that came from the stairs.

looking in the direction of the voice he saw the face of his wife, her name was Aria Wallenstein, wife of Albert Wallenstein. Not many know but she is a mid-tier spirit just below Undine. 

Long ago they had met and fallen in love but the union between a spirit and a human was not common so they decided to keep it a secret.

There also came the challenge of conceiving a child but they eventually managed to figure it out after some time and research.

"Dad!" yelled a childish voice that came rushing down the stairs.

opening his arms he hugged the speeding figure.

"Hey Aiz, how are you doing" he smiled at the child in his arms affectionately.

"Great, Mom was just teaching me how to control wind since I'm you know what."

Aiz Wallestein, age 16, Daughter of Albert and Aria Wallestein. From the day she was born through unconventional means she had inherited her father's unnatural amounts of Adeptal energy and her mother's wind spirit powers making her half-human and half-spirit.

She already knew their little family secret not too long ago and ever since, Aria has been teaching her how to control Air while her dad taught her how to control the Adeptal energy coming from her soul.

Although here it's called internal energy, the essence of the soul itself.

"Good, it seems like you've gotten stronger," he said as he felt proud of her child, Aiz was just 16 years old, and she was already on the road to becoming a great Knight.

But happy times don't last.

As he greeted them he also told them about the current situation at hand.

"No!, I'm coming with you, If Mom can help you then so can I!" Argued Aiz as she didn't want to be left behind. 

She understood that it was dangerous but even if it was a little, she could still help.

"No, you are not! you will be staying with her Majesty while I and your mother go and take care of the issue quickly" He retorted back.

No matter how much her daughter wanted to help, he wouldn't bring her to the mouth of a beast that had killed thousands of soldiers and people in its path.

"But I can Hel-" Before she could finish her sentence she felt a hand chop her neck, completely kicking her out.

Her dad who knocked her out cold held her falling body and carried her.

"Did you have to do such a thing!" Yelled Aria as he saw her husband knock their daughter out in such a brute manner.

"Yes I did, you may not have seen it but she instinctively tried to duck her head before I could knock her out" When he tried to chop her neck, he noticed that Aiz subconsciously tried to move her neck out of the way. This alone showed just how frightening her talent was in battle.

With a sigh her wife nodded, Aria then started to pack the things they would need for their journey while Albert took Aiz to the castle so that she wouldn't try and escape.
