Elise had a cocky smile as she said, "Obviously, who do you think you are talking to." She turned to one of the female Eternal Knights and said, "Go bring some water."
"Yes, Madam Elise." Said one of the Female Eternal Knights who were following her before she left to bring the glass of water.
Saito silently saw this scene as he stared at Elise. He knew what it signified. To be following the orders of another person while he was standing here. Elise was seemingly saying that these Eternal Knights were under her now.
Elise started speaking with a triumphant smile on her face, "You made a huge mistake in leaving these women with me for the last month. Your second mistake was not checking upon them for the last month. Did you think I wouldn't be able to build up my prestige within them?"
Not a single Eternal Knight let out a sound. Letting out a sigh as Saito pitifully stared at Elise. Elise continued speaking in that same cocky tone, "You underestimated me too much. I am now the leader here… You should return while you still can. Even if you are powerful, you can't take on so many of them at once."
Currently, Saito was somewhat tired of her rambling. He let out a loud shout, "ASSEMBLE!"
This loud shout traveled everywhere. All the Eternal Knights in the area immediately stopped whatever they were doing and rushed to the place where the yell originated.
They all stood in front of Saito, one hand behind their backs and the other clenched into a fist and thumped their chest.
All of them were facing Saito, and their back was towards Elise.
No one gave her any importance. This behavior was a complete contrast to their treatment towards her in the past month.
Saito had a small smile as he stared at the all 100 assembled Eternal Knights. He looked towards Elise and said, "You were saying something? What was it exactly? I apologize, I couldn't hear you clearly. Mind repeating that?"
Even though his words were calm. Elise could feel those disdainful words poking her with giant swords. She felt as if her pride was utterly crushed into pieces right now.
As she hatefully stared at the women assembling in front of Saito, "You wretched women! I treated you all so well, yet you still follow this man's orders! Don't you understand, you can't obey a man! He will just use you and throw you away."
Those words were ignored entirely. For these women, they have been saved from utter despair by Saito. Even though he had his own motives, he had given them a choice from the start. He was the one who had made them the beautiful women they were right now.
They certainly respected him sincerely. Saito pointed at Elise and said, "The one who will bring me her head will be my last personal knight."
With no hesitation, all the women who had been living with Elise for the past month turned their heads. They had a murderous look on their pretty faces as they stared at Elise.
They frightened Elise to no end as she started running in the opposite direction. Before she could even take 4 steps into the forest, a dagger pierced her skull.
After another second, another dagger pierced her heart. The first dagger was from Allyssia Clark while the second was from Elena. Both were already assigned as personal guards of Sophie and Saito respectively, so it seemed that there was no need to appoint anyone.
Saito sensed a vigorous magic intensity from Elena's body. It looked like since the Ice Phoenix's Bloodline had awoken, her magic had started building up. Right now, the quantity of her magic was on the same level as Reus.
He pointed at her and said, "Elena… Come here." Elena was somewhat nervous as she was called out by Saito.
She wondered what it was all about. Recently, she had been feeling the strange chillness in her body growing more powerful. It wasn't damaging her, but it caused her skin to turn even more white.
Saito gazed at her with a stern expression. He pointed towards his left, which was the direction in which Zleka City was situated, "Show your magic progress to me. Use it in that direction."
"Yes, my lord." Since there was no one other than them here now. There was no need to call him a young master.
Elena stretched her hand and started concentrating actively. Her palm released a lot of light as the area in front of her palm slowly started to freeze.
The trees in front of Elena slowly froze. The ground's color had changed to icy white color. Even the temperature of the air had changed.
Saito's face remained calm as he gazed upon her usage of magic, "Alright, you can stop now."
Elena stopped as she was ordered by Saito. She nervously stared at Saito and wondered what he thought of this.
She had worked hard on trying to control the area as well as the time it required to activate it. Saito gave her a nod and said, "It's good enough. All of you, it's time for you to return. Take your things and start walking back."
All the Female Eternal Knights nodded their head before they dispersed into groups and entered the houses to gather their things. They gathered their stuff before they started walking towards the training ground where they had initially trained.
Saito was walking in front, he looked as if he was in deep thought. Nobody disrupted him at this moment as they silently made their way back.
It took them several hours to return and by the time they returned. All of them were rather hungry.
As they entered the old Execution Ground, Saito had a smile on his face when he noticed a couple of Eternal Knights following Reus as he jumped around.
Reus had always sparred against the Shadow Lightning Wolves which were faster than himself. To him, the movements of the Eternal Knights who couldn't even increase their speed with magic were rather slow.
However, Saito noticed that Michael Sharp, Clark Wright, and Oskar Gill had not stepped against Reus. They were concentrated on their own stances. Michael Sharp released a strange light that surprised Saito.
This was like the purple qi which he had seen Alvaneth use against himself. It surprised him that Michael had used this Sword Qi. Even though Michael's control was nowhere near that of Alvaneth's and the power of this strand of Sword Qi wasn't like that of Alvaneth's.
It was a start! This was the most crucial point! There were multiple ways to develop a skill if you were successful in the beginning.
He looked at Clark Wright and Oskar Gill. They showed no signs of using a Saber Qi or Spear Qi, but Saito wasn't discouraged.
It obviously wouldn't be easy to use Qi. They needed to grab hold of a moment. Saito then looked towards Reus and roared, "Reus, stop playing with them. Come here."
Hearing his voice did startle these men. The 400 men immediately stopped their trained and looked at Saito, standing with some distance between them.
Saito was standing near Wooden Mansion, which was some distance away from the current position of the 400 men.
All of them rushed towards Saito and kneeled in front of him with excellent coordination, "We greet our lord." Even their voices were in sync with each other.
This pleased Saito. He was delighted by how far these men had come. At least, their coordination level was decent enough to compare them to the army of the Vermillion Kingdom.
Saito pointed his hand at Reus and said, "All of you, this is my little brother, Reus Vajor. He is an elf and is going to join the training from now on. Introduce yourself to him…"
"Yes, your majesty!" They loudly shouted before they stared at Reus for some time. They even started talking to each other.
"So, it's his majesty's little brother. No wonder he is so strong."
"Yes… The boy looks around 13 years old. Only someone related to his majesty could be so strong."
While they were talking to each other. One by one, the Eternal Knights stepped forward and introduced themselves to Reus.
"I am Michael Sharp. It is my pleasure to know the younger brother of his majesty." Michael said with a smile on his face.
Reus nodded back and kindly replied, "Mhm~ I am also happy to know you. I didn't know big brother had so many men. You are all so strong."
He was honestly praising them. Within the elf kingdom, almost all the elves used magic for everything while neglecting their physical body training.
From the time Saito had left those wolves at the Elf Kingdom. Reus had often sparred with them and to counter their speed, he had to strengthen his body or else he wouldn't be able to react to their attacks.
The other elves often used their magic to enhance their senses. It even consumed even more magic in a fight, but since the Elves had naturally been blessed with more magic than humans, they never really found the need to train physically.
Saito let these men talk with Reus.. He turned towards the large group of females and signaled them to follow him.
