Natalina inhaled and exhaled before she pushed the door. It's been weeks since this meaningless session started. Thanks to the Yue family who invited themselves and barged in a right just because of a crazy lady who tried to abduct her eldest son. As soon as she walked in the middle of the court she noticed the whole team seating on one side with Sage but Hexel and Lehi are still out there training. Although Natalina understand the bottom of it. She wanted to respect Lehi's choices. She faced the glare thrown by the nobles as Gatsby, Tera and Waheb stood with the King.
"Are you going to tolerate such inappropriate actions toward us just because we are from a lower rank?"
The Count started that made Gatsby shot a stare of anger toward the count.
Cyrus raised his finger and pointed at the count.
"Where are your manners? That's the more reason why you are from a lower rank. You don't know the basic of greetings." His voice were cold and eerie that made the session silent.
Natalina bowed her head toward the Count and the King before formally speaking.
"Pardon our rude introduction, Your Highness. As the count has mentioned we should treat them more with compassion not with baseless pity. Yet at this time I won't hold back to point my finger toward those who tried to harm my child. Hence, I am stripping my royal robe and will start to speak as a ordinary mother who only desires to secure her son." The crowd were in awe when Natalina tore her robe and royal crest.
The court and session reached a conclusion that Dorothy will be expelled from the Kingdom and will be sent at Kisiena with Sage due to disciplinary actions. Kiel clapped her hands and raised a toss for the positive outcome.
Cyrus cleared his throat and spoke.
"I want to reveal the reason behind this training. Resh, Sienna and Kish were in united and saw one vision. There is a remote area behind the Gamaliel Kingdom and it was said to be the homes of uncertaint creatures that will soon invade our place. But before that happens we agreed to send you outside and put an end to this before it got worst. The name of that place is Oxron."
Kiel tilted his head and asked.
"How about Hexel and Lehi?"
Resh answered in behalf of Cyrus.
"They might be on their way toward the place. They are sent to spy the land. We will only depart after their report."
Natalina tried to contact Hexel and Lehi but their was no response the whole team remain quiet for a few seconds when Resh recieved a report from Ecles.
"Hey, pervert can I talk to the smug and dull king of yours."
Cyrus raised his brow and asked Natalina to widen the flat pearl.
"I will rove this pearl and capture all that you can."
When the whole picture came into view. Cyrus straightend and saw dead people walking.
"And you guessed correctly. This are dead people who are walking behind someone's string. The main head is still unknown but this creatures eat any flesh that comes to view. It's similar to apocalypse but this won't infect you even if they bite you. Rather they will eat you from limb to limb." Ecles explained.
Kiel quickly inquired about Hexel and Lehi as the screen did not show any sign of the two.
"Well that is the main reason why I called you. This Oxrons are saying that Lehi is their queen. Hexel got separated with me as Lehi got captured by the enemies." Ecles replied.
"And your not feeling sorry about it?"
Kiel responded.
Ecles just grinned at them and said.
"Nope, because this is part of the training that I laid for them. If they survive then I those two will arrive here by dawn but of not then, I will clean up this mess by myself."
Kiel gritted his teeth and muttered.
"How arrogant!"
Ecles chuckled at him and pointed at Cyrus.
"You better watch out! How about you teach your rotten son how to greet his godfather?"
Kiel trembled and eyed his father.
"How can you pick someone like him to be my godfather?"
Cyrus just waved it and answered.
"Yeah, yeah just don't forget to take care of your other godson over there or Tera will separate that head if yours with injections."
Ecles quivered and hang up as he hid his farewell.
"The portal and space user are ineffective here. You've got no choice but to depart tomorrow. The sailing will take two weeks."
Cyrus asked Ain and Lila to summon Sage, Kish, Eyel and Sienna for a meeting. After an hour the whole team assembled.
"Tell us why does this creatures see Lehi as their queen?" Cyrus inquired.
Kish was the one to spoke.
"Because Lehi is a covenant baby. Only those who are birthed with such desperation and passion are targeted by the enemies whose name are dark and are in shrouded."
"If that is the basis then how did the opponent knew about it?"
Natalina inquired.
"Only a demon can see and question someone's past." Sienna replied.
"This is not a joke but I do believe that Ecles fully knew of this account."
Resh added as he drum his finger on the table.
"The truth is Ecles made the best decision because if they resisted it might only lead to death."
Sage pointed as he tilt his head and professed.
"If we only have one more clue, I can name the demon behind this scheme."
The dinner was heavy since Ophir did not spoke nor say any opinion. Nevi also held his tongue as the clock tick to move forward. The annoying sound continued till Resh's pearl got connected with Ecles.
"As promised this two arrived in time."
Lehi and Hexel waved back at the gang.
Hexel looked more toned and mature while Lehi's hair got longer. Her face looked blooming. Even Ain praised Lehi who only answered how Ecles strictly cut their foods.
Hexel flaunt his long hair as he started to report about what he acquired.
"This dead people have sharp sense of hearing just like Ophir. Also they are aggressive to eat not because of the blood but because of your bones. I saw how they tore the animal's flesh but only chew the bones."
Lehi pitched in what she found and spoke.
"The demon behind this string mentioned how it loves papyrus. Aside from that it would try to bear it fangs on my spine mentioning a seed that was planted by an old friend name Sage. Thus, I strongly request Sage's presence over here. I won't be able to hold back if this drags long. Since technically my spine started to react and vibrate in a uncomfortable direction. As of the moment, it is still thanks to Teacher Ecles that I am doing fine as of the moment."
