Chapter 5

"Well, hello there, Knight of the Tummulus Kingdom, Sir Knight Arlos, a pleasure to see you visiting my lovely kingdom"

Knight Arlos looked at the man slowly walking towards him which he recognize as the last surviving member of the Lionheart Royal Family, Leo Lionheart, he didn't know what happened except hearing some small sounds, the next thing he knew, he couldn't move his legs due to pain.

But as a knight, he was trained to somewhat withstand pain, he glared at Prince Leo and spoke with a sarcastic voice.

"Prince Leo, the last surviving member of the Lionheart family, it was a wonder how you survived the besieged of the 5 great kingdoms, just like a cockroach, your family won't go extinct no matter what we do"

"It's all the reason why you feared us"

The Prince replied with a smile.

"Yes, that is why the reason your Kingdom is destroyed, it won't take long before you will be found out, and they will destroy your Kingdom once again"

As he spoke, slowly from his sleeves, he slipped a dagger towards his hand, he just said those words to enrage the Prince and let his guard down, and just like he thought, an enraged expression appeared in the face of the prince.

"I see, then you must want to be bruised up then"

The prince charged towards him and a smile crept up to his face.

"You stupid Prince Die!"

He pulled the knife and was about to throw it towards the prince when he suddenly felt a crushing pain from his hands, and in the next moment, he screamed from the pain.

"Aaaaarghhhh!"

"Tsk, tsk, you can't do that, it's bad"

He heard the voice of the prince when he looked at the face of the prince, he could see a smile, a mocking smile, the prince has already anticipated his move, he was tricked, he then looked at the one who crushed his hand and saw a woman wearing a butler suit.

"A woman?"

He was shocked as he saw this, a woman defeated him? even crushed his hand.

Leo looked at the knight who had a shocked expression on his face, a look that he couldn't believe what is happening.

"So women are discriminated in this world huh?"

Leo shook his head, if it was a normal woman then it would be impossible to crush the hand of the knight, but it was a drone, a machine could easily snap a neck with its fingers.

"Well, enough of that, my visitor, tell me what you know"

Leo lifted Knight Arlos' chin and made him look at him in the eye.

*Pitui!

Knight Arlos of course won't tell him anything and spit on Leo's face which he blocked by slapping Knight Arlos's cheeks.

"Ugh, disgusting but anyway, since you won't say anything, I will just make you sing, fun fact, did you know that, the closer a person to his death, the more their instincts tell them to live, so let's have fun yeah? bring him to the dungeon"

Leon commanded the drone, the woman butler then moved and grabbed Knight Arlos's hair, then started dragging him like a piece of heavy baggage, as they walked through the darkness, the drone and the being dragged Knight Arlos disappeared.

Leo didn't put too much attention to it and looked around the abandoned church, the first thing he checked is the letter that the knight was writing earlier, it wasn't done yet but Leo saw who were the recipients.

"Duke Ruck, hmm, it's one of the 5 dukes of the Kingdom of Tummulus, the most hypocrite one too"

Leo was able to recall who the recipient was, Duke Ruck, the duke who held the largest military in the Tummulus Kingdom, he was a hypocrite because He seemed to be the most arrogant one in the Dukes of the Tummulus Kingdom that looks down on other kingdoms but he is a very cautious person, it may be the reason why he sent a spy in the Lionheart Kingdom to make sure nothing will happen.

"Too bad, I found your spy"

Leo then left the church and made his way towards back the castle, he didn't go to the dungeon because the torture was already being done by the drone, he passed by to the survivors who were celebrating and drinking happily while chanting the rise of the Lionheart Kingdom.

'Be happy, because the road ahead will be bumpy'

Leo thought for the last time before going to sleep.

"..."

The next day, the survivors started working, there are a total of 169 survivors, most of them were children, some few strong adults, there are also those who were injured and sick, then the rest were women.

Old Pan already started working and was able to give a report to Leo by Lunch, looking at the list, most of the children went to the military, there are also some women who enlisted which is great concerning it will be easier to train them, then the strong adults joined the Construction of the Lionheart Kingdom.

As for the sickly, and injured, for the ones who could still move around without problem, Leo made them do the farming, as for the remaining ones, Leo made them do the easier jobs such as sewing and some who were able to write and read were chosen as workers of Leo.

With that, the whole lionheart kingdom started working once again, Leo made the drones look over the construction while he himself will be in charge of the military, it was the best job for Leo because the military will be the weapons of the kingdom, the stronger they are, the more powerful the kingdom will be.

"Maybe, also look for magicians, I can get a tool from the Black Tech Shop, I just hope my greedy child won't make it too expensive, if not, I will grind credits for a few days then"

Leo went towards the designated fields of the military and when he arrived, he saw the soon the be weapons of the kingdom.
