Chapter 129 Kill Him
They blinked for a couple of seconds, before placing down their cups, staring at Visco like he's the stupidest person in the world.
Seeing their gazes, Visco frowned:
"What?!"
Mariel chuckled lightly, and asked:
"How do you expect to turn the kingdom into an Empire in a month?"
"That. It's so easy... If I take the throne, I'll send a submission letter, and you'll witness as the other races will accept it willingly."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Hahaha! Keep dreaming, instead of replying, they'll send them back, but with anger." Andrew said.
The group looked at one and, and Jasmine opened her mouth:
"I say we hold a competition, the winner takes the throne, and the competition is about you two... And ways you'll rule the kingdom. First, you'll prove how knowledgeable you are, then your experience in battle, and leadership... And lastly, battle. What do you guys think?" She asked turning to the other commanders.
"Wait."
Mike placed down his cup, and moved his gaze on the group.
"We are discussing on who will be the coming king, when the reigning king is still on the throne, is that right?"
"Your mind seems to be somewhere else, Commander Mike... As I said, I'm taking over the throne, that means I'll be removing my father from that seat... I agree with Commander Jasmine's suggestion."
"Ok, then when are we doing this?" Andrew asked.
"I have a better idea."
The group turned their heads to Mariel, who smiled and started:
"Instead of a competition which will surely drew the King's attention, we should use the Monster raid, the one who kills more monsters will be the king."
"How are you so sure they'll be a raid?" Jasmine asked.
"Kara said so, she's even getting ready for it." Mariel replied.
Orion moved his gaze around and nodded:
"Fine then, we'll get going." He stood up, and added:
"Thank you, commanders for honoring my invitation."
The commanders nodded at him, and watched as Orion and Andrew walked out from the Tavern.
Visco sat down, and turned to Ricky, who had been silent all along.
"What do you think, Commander Ricky?"
"He's not to be trusted, watch your back."
Ricky stood up, and walked towards the door. "I'm off."
Before the group, Ricky disappeared the moment he touched the door.
"Commander Ricky have leaned the Assassin movement skill?" Mariel asked in mild surprised.
"Yeah, you spend all your time in the academy... You need to give yourself some day off." Mike said, standing up from his seat.
"Come on, Let's take a walk."
He stretched out his hand towards her.
Mariel looked at his hand, stood up and walked towards the door.
"Mike, I said you should leave her, she isn't your typ--"
"--Are you coming?" Mariel asked, cutting Jasmine's off.
"Uh?"
The three were stunned, while Mike smiled brightly.
"Right away!"
He quickly ran towards Mariel.
"That guy is hopeless." Jasmine turned her head to Visco, and nodded:
"Bye for now, Commander Visco."
She stood up, and stretched forth her hand to her side. A golden rune appeared, and formed a gateway.
"Take care."
She nodded at Visco, and entered the gateway, disappearing from the tavern.
Visco drank his remaining wine, stood up and walked out.

[In The Royal Carriage.]
"Those bastards!! They'll rather set rules than give me their votes!! Ha!" Orion yelled in frustration.
"Yeah, even that Mariel is suggesting you fight monsters, can you believe that?!"
Andrew turned to his brother:
"But, what about Visco? What's your plan?"
"Visco is just a warrior class, all he has is his muscles and a damn brain... Thinking he could go against me for the throne. You know what to do Andrew."
Andrew nodded with a smirk: "Leave it to me, Brother."
Orion nodded, as the Carriage rode to the castle.

[Night Time.]
[Back To Aaron.]
Aaron looked up at the full moon, and turned to the two girls, sitting some meters behind him.
"Dylan, Why would Mali let you out? You said he's overprotective, so I'm just surprised."
"Well, he said I should enter the Omega realm, but I passed his requirement, and enter the sky realm... So he had no choice but to let me out." Dylan said, staring at Aaron's back.
Aaron nodded, and turned around to Katherina.
"How did you two meet?"
"I would rather not say."
Aaron raised an eyebrow, and turned to Dylan, who answered:
"Well, I came out from the sea, and she took me as an enemy... After some peaceful communication, she cool off... And all of a sudden, you appeared here."
Aaron nodded, and looked at the sea:
"Ok, now you have seen me, what do you want to say? Or why are you really looking for me?"
"Well... You're the only one, whose name I know on the land, so I had to look for you... That's the only reason. I just want some guild up here, especially when I'm exploring."
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to put a hold on that plan."
"Huh?"
She stared at Aaron in mild confusion.
"Yeah, a monster raid is coming soon, you need to stay safe, so no exploring. At least, not now, maybe after two weeks."
"This!" Dylan was stunned.
"Monster raid?" Katherina looked up at Aaron, her grip on her sheathed sword tightened.
"Yeah, A group of dangerous Monsters will be attacking, and killing everything in their sight. You do know what a raid is, right?"
"I'm not a child." She looked up at him:
"Where is the first place it'll hit?" She asked.
"The Human empire, next is the Elves' kingdom."
"When is it happening?" She asked again.
Aaron frowned: "Are you planning on... Attacking?"
She stood up from the ground, staring straight at his blue eyes:
"What do you think? Now when?"
Aaron stared at her serious expression, and sighed: "five days from now."
Upon hearing that, Katherina walked away, entering the forest behind them, disappearing from sight.
"What's her deal?" Dylan asked, turning her head to Aaron.
"She lost her whole race because of Monsters, so now, she wants to hunt and kill every single monster in Elvis."
Dylan was stunned, but also puzzled:
"She's only a sky realm, while there are Monsters out there who are Beast-rulers, who could kill her with a single slap... Aren't you worried about her?" Dylan asked.
"Don't know her that well to be worried, and she also said she'll be doing this alone. So I left her alone."
Dylan stood up. "Well, she's no longer alone... I'm here to explore, and Katherina like moving around, and also seems to know the continent.... It's a double win."
Aaron scratched his head in mild confusion:
'I don't see how that's a double win.' He thought, and sighed:
"Fine, but place your hand on this."
He drew the alliance circle, and moved it towards Dylan.
"Oh? I saw you gave my dad this, what does it do?" Dylan asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"It's an alliance circle, it'll also help protect you when you enter my territory."
Dylan thought about Aaron's words, and placed her hand on the circle, which shattered and entered her.
"Done, Good luck."
"Thanks!!"
Dylan smiled, and quickly ran towards the forest, chasing after Katherina.
"Girls."
Aaron sighed, and turned to the sea; "Kara, We'll see again."
With that said, he disappeared from the shore.

[Four days Later.]
[Human Empire.]
Angela sat on a table with her sister, waiting for someone, none touching their drinks on the table... The two were in a private room, in the biggest restaurant in the Capital, both anxious.
"I don't think he's coming." Aura said.
"He will." Angela added.
The moment her word fell, the door was opened by a soldier, and Aaron walked inside. He looked around the luxuriously decorated room, and sighed.
"I see Princess Angela love fancy things, especially the gold color, and, is it someone's birthday?"
He asked walking towards them, and sat down on the chair, opposite the two.
"To me, gold is the best, Jack." Angela said, and stared deeply at Aaron:
"You don't need to use--"
"--Stop talking." Angela cut him off, and continued:
"You saw those five soldiers out there, they aren't our guards. You remembered the Commander, right?"
Aaron nodded, now a bit confused.
"When we returned, and buried the King two days ago, he took power... He also threatened us that if we make any fuss about it, we'll disappear from this world..." Angela said.

"Yes, we're also risking our lives meeting you here... We told those men you're our friend, and we're hosting your birthday party... That's why the room is so decorated." Aura added.
Aaron finally got the whole story, So the moment they got home, and buried the King, the Commander, who acted all nice before, took over the throne.
'Being a Legendary realm warrior, and also the Commander, he'll surely have more influence than the two princesses, who were in the academy, Angela might have some followers, but they'll never go against a Commander, let alone now that he's a King.'
Aaron thought, and turned to the sisters.
"So what's your plan?" He asked.
"Kill him."
"...."
Aaron was stunned by their direct answer.
