Holy Kingdom
"WOAAAAHHH!! ITS HUGE..."
I arrived at the entrance to the Holy Kingdom, and out of every kingdoms that i have visited, this one is the most beautiful one yet. Even the entrance gates are grand, the kingdom is surrounded by an artificial river that circling the kingdom, and in every gates, theres a bridge that connect the outside world to the kingdom.
It really deserves the "Capital of Every Kingdom" title.
Theres a long line of people waiting to get approval from the entrance guards, since it'll be a problem if i got recognized by people, i hid my Demon Lord Aura and wore a robe to hide my face, i then waited 10 minutes for my turn to get inside.
"Do you have any ID?" - Guard
"Ah, wait.. Im an adventurer"
I handed my Adventurer certificafe to the guard, at this moment i didnt realize that its been more than one month since the last time i registered, and in that time.. I haven't completed a single quest.
"Miss, this Certificate is expired.. Did you not complete any quests for a month?" - Guard
"What!? A- AH.. I, i guess i forgot to do it.. Ahaha"
"Sorry, but you have to pay for the entrance fee" - Guard
"Uuuuu.. Fine"
I gave him 3 Silvers for the entrance fee, its more expensive than normal, but i guess thats kind of reasonable? Since this is a very popular kingdom.. Maybe.
I stepped inside the kingdom, and sure enough.. Everything looks really different compared to other kingdoms, the house is not made out of wood, instead its made out of bricks, the road are filled with decorations and street lights, it also has a European Vibe to it.
Seeing this reminded me to a lot of scene from comics and novels, and i cant wait to see what this kingdom have for me.
First thing first, i went to the Adventurer's Guild to renew my Certificate, and i also bought a big boar steak from there for me to eat while exploring.
After renewing my certificate, i go for a walk across the street and saw a lot of Stores, but im not interested in that, instead im planning to go to the Church where i can meet a Saint, curious to see what would happen if they saw me. Will they realize? Or will they just treat me like a normal person?.
...
- Holy Kingdom's Church -
A girl is seen praying infront of a Statue, the statue resembles another girl but with an angel wings, the Statue also doesnt have a face. The girl is praying without making a single noise or movement, she kept doing that for a few minutes before she opens her eyes and stand up quickly, she seems to be panicking as she suddenly look around her surroundings, the girl then ran towards the exit door, it leads to a hallway thats filled with other people that worship her God.
"Saintess!" - Nun A
The saintess suddenly grabbed the nun shoulders and talked to her with a worried expression
"We need to call the heroes.. Quick!" - Saintess
"W- What happened? Why do we need to call them?" - Nun A
"Its coming.. I just received a message when i was praying a few moments ago.. It told me that there is currently a Demon Lord lurking in this kingdom.. We need to Find it as soon as possible before it can cause any destruction!" - Saintess
"U- Understood! I will immediately contact the heroes." - Nun A
The entire church was in chaos, they tried to contact the King to tell them about the Saintess prophecy, and they said that they will send some army soldiers to help them.
- Holy Kingdom's Castle, Backyard -
"What? A Demon Lord appeared in this kingdom? Are you serious?" - Kain
"Yes.. And The Saintess has called both of you to the church." - Maid
"What are we waiting for! Lets go!!" - Dereq
Kain and Dereq quickly run out of the castle and headed to the church, in there they met with the saintess and the army soldiers.
Since they still dont know who and where this Demon Lord is, the Saintess decided to let the Heroes search for every corner of the kingdom and see if there are anyone that have a Demon Lord aura or is acting suspicious, and they must do it in secrecy since if the Demon Lord realize that we are searching for them, they will most likely to run away.
Although Demon Lords are powerful, the Holy Kingdom's Army and Heroes are also not a joke, there is a reason why their kingdom is called "The Capital of Every Kingdom", and its because they are one of the kingdoms that have existed since a long time ago, and have a history of killing a Demon Lord, but that was hundred of years ago, and to this day, they still managed to maintain that power and have become even more powerful.
It is said that even Boner would have a hard time to completely destroy this kingdom where usually he could destroy another kingdom in just 1 day.
Kain and Dereq nodded before going out on their separate ways.

- Somewhere at the Holy Kingdom -
"Hey mister! What are these?"
"This? This is a magic tool that lets you store a spell to use for later, its pretty popular among Adventurers" - Stall Owner
"Hmm.. Interesting, what kind of spells can it store inside?"
"Usually just simple 1 star spells like Fireballs or something, and if you're lucky enough, you could get a nice one that is capable of storing 2 stars spells." - Stall Owner
"Okay... What about this?"
"Thats just an accessories, not really a magic tool.." Stall Owner
"Ohh.. I really like the design, i'll buy one of these!"
"Sure, its 5 Silvers" - Stall Owner
"Here [Mythical Creation] 5 Silvers"
*poof*
It worked.
"Woah, how did you do that Miss?" - Stall Owner
"Secret!"
I walked away after handing the money to him, he seems to be confused with what i did earlier haha. He said that this ring is just an accessory, i wonder if it will turn out to be an overpowered ring that hide its potential..
...
"Well, its not like i need those OP items anyway.. This ring do have a nice design though.. I'll wear it for some time."
As i walked, i realized that the streets have more soldiers and holy knights scattered around every corner, it wasn't like this before.. Did something happened?
I continue walking past them until suddenly one of the Holy Knight stopped me and told me to show my face.
"We currently have some investigation going on, and we need to to check every people in this kingdom, wearing a hood and hiding your face makes it seems like you're a suspicious person doesnt it?" - Holy Knight
"I guess you're right"
I opened my hood to show them my face, and as i expected, the Holy Knight looked away immediately.. Is my face that ugly or beautiful? I cant tell..
"Alright, You can continue wearing the hood.." - Holy Knight
"Thanks."
I wear my hood again and continue my walk, the Holy Knight keep standing in place after i walked past him, well i dont care about what other people are doing, so.. I guess thats just his thing?.
I think i've seen everything that i wanna see in here, theres actually one place that i wanna visit, and that place is the Kingdom's Magic Academy, or school.. I really want to see what the academy in here looks like, im sure it will be amazing.
*CLANG*
Suddenly i heard a sword clashing sound in a dark alleyway, i thought that was just my imagination, but after a few seconds.. I heard it again, it might sounds like nothing to ordinary people, but i activated a little bit of my Extreme Sense to boost all of my senses when i realized the Holy Knights and Soldiers appeared.
It might be interesting sight to see, so i followed the sound, after a few minutes of walking and seeing the area that was inside the alleyway, i saw 8 people thats wearing a robe to cover their entire body and 1 guy that wears some pretty expensive looking and eye catching armor..
"Wait.. I kinda recognized that armor.."
*CLANG*
"OHH! KAIN!!"
I shouted to them, and everyone immediately turned their head to see me..
"Huh.. Wait? You are.. AZURYA?!! Wait, WAIT!? DONT TELL ME-" Kain
The 8 People who was fighting kain before suddenly run towards me while raising their swords, they then tried to attack me simultaneously.
"I- I see.. Now i know who the Demon Lord is, that was a relief to see it was you.." - Kain
He then lean towards the wall and watched the 8 people trying to attack me while he smiled, looking at their foolish move.
"What are you doing in here?"
*SPUURRRTTT*
All of the Enemies suddenly died, and their body got split in half, spilling blood everywhere and on my clothes too..
"Well, i got called by the King to visit the castle and help him with something.." - Kain
"Ohh.. I guess its tough being a hero huh?"
"What about you? What are you doing in here.." - Kain
"Uhh.. Nothing? I just want to see what kind of place this is, since its called "Holy" i thought they would be interesting."
"But-" - Kain
"Dont Worry, i wont cause any problem.."
"Alright.. I'll trust you.." - Kain
"Ah, my clothes got dirty.."
I exited the Alleyway with Kain, and the first thing i see after exiting is the face of hundreds of Soldiers and Holy Knights..
They suddenly pulls out their swords and gets ready to attack me, but before they can do that, Kain came towards me and explain to them that im not dangerous.
"Hero Kain, Do you know who this girl is?" - Holy Knight A
...
"She's the Demon Lord." - Kain
...
...
"Wat?" - Everyone
