Guests Of The King

'All the Mana Cores Gerard has made are all White. He'll need to fill them up eventually. Then, it won't be as fast as his current pace…'

"That's good." I smiled at the excited Beast King who was happy about the prospect of growing even stronger.

Deep within him, though, I could sense another feeling welling up. It was an emotion I had been counting on to appear.

"Let us return to your people. Since I beat you in combat, I have the right to make an absolute command. You'll be Allied with the Eastern Kingdom in the looming war."

"Eastern Empire? War? What's that?"

"E-eh…?"

Just how much did Gerard know—no, the right question was how much did he not know?

I filled the ignorant Beast King in on the details regarding the current state of the world as all three of us returned to the Beast folk Kingdom.

"W-wow… I had no idea."
