"Your majesty, why are they here?" because Lord Clemo was near, Arrora addressed him formally.
"I don't know but I have a bad feeling about this, Lord Clemo, bring them to the throne hall" He expected some troubles when he opened his borders for Astrels but he never expected people from Cold Moon Palace to visit him. Moreover, among the guests, he could see a familiar face other than Rodrigo who had a dark veil covering the face.
He didn't think Arrora noticed the face because if she had, she wouldn't be standing here calmly.
"Yes, your majesty" Lord Clemo bowed and rushed outside to bring the guests to the throne hall.
"Everything is going to be fine" Arrora couldn't help but worry inside when she heard him saying that he has a bad feeling but she didn't show it on her face.
"Cat, send Joel and Reghys here"
"Alrighty!" the little girl's chirping-like voice sounded in his mind as he made his way to the throne hall.
The people felt a little disappointed when Don quickly walked back into the castle without greeting them but they were too deep in the festive mood to complain.
"Arrora" when he was about a couple of meters away from entering the throne hall, he halted his steps and looked at Arrora.
"When I'm with them, don't do anything rash"
"Why would I?"
"You'll know" he didn't give a full answer but continued to the throne hall.
As he was entering the throne hall, Rodrigo and a group of four were waiting for him. At this exact moment, Arrora realized what he meant by his previous statement as she saw none other than Rosaline sitting comfortably in the throne hall.
From toe to head, she felt a heat of anger passing through her body. However, when she looked at Don's face, her anger diminished as a smile appeared on her face. Don didn't notice this unexpected reaction of Arrora but he went straight to his throne and sat. Beside him on the seat just slightly below him was Reghys who sat on her seat just after Don with a nod. Behind his throne stood Joel with a hood covering his face as Arrora stood beside Don.
"Prince Rodrigo, Miss Rosaline" He started the meeting with calm greetings to Rodrigo and Rosaline. When he greeted Rosaline, he pretended not to remember the little fight they had during the Gathering.
"King Don"
"King Don"
Both Rodrigo and Rosaline returned the greeting but unlike Rodrigo, Rosaline's voice had neither respect nor regard to his positions as a king.
Reghys noticed this and raised her brows slightly but looking at Don's impassive face, she remained calm.
"Prince Rodrigo, I assume you have a purpose of visiting me in this harsh weather?" He asked Rodrigo and looked at the sturdy-looking man beside Rosaline
Rodrigo didn't need any translators to understand the meaning of Don's words as he started to introduce the four beside him.
"King Don, I notice you and Miss Rosaline know each other. Let me introduce the others, this is Alexander Irwin and his younger brother Willian Irwin. They are inner disciples of the Cold Moon Palace"
"King Don'' the twins nodded. Of course, Don didn't meet these two, unlike Arrora. They were part of Rosaline's team that was assigned to protect Minister Bryan and even after almost two years, she couldn't forget their faces.
However, Rosaline and the twins seemed not to recognize Arrora as when the time she was a captive of Bryan, her face was splashed with mud and dirt. Also, Arrora had gone through quite a transformation after reaching the Heavenly level in terms of beauty, therefore, the twins could easily recognize her but Rosaline had a weird feeling looking at Arrora like they had met before. And she looked around to see the girl called Adria who fought with Chase.
"And this is Mage Sears Wallace, one of the Inner circle teachers and Miss Rosaline's mentor" The white-haired man was none other than Sears himself who seemed to have reached the Mid Heavenly Level.
Because of Rosaline's failure to find Bryan's killer and her friend's death, her cultivation slowed down and stuck at the Peak of Grandmaster level.
She was at war with herself and until she could make peace with herself, it would be hard to break through. The twins were just mid-level Grandmasters.
"Welcome to Everlight, Mage Sears"
"Humph, a fancy name for a backwater kingdom" Rodrigo was stunned by Sears's reply for a second.
"Do you have a purpose to visit us?" Don acted like he didn't hear his previous comment and didn't show his anger outside. Lord Clemo could feel his heart punching against his chest and started to sweat despite the cold weather. Lord Clemo knew what kind of character Don is and didn't want a war with Sears because of Don's anger.
"I don't like to be in a kingdom that allowed filthy abominations to roam around freely but yes, we do have a purpose for our visit " Reghys and Arrora were at their limit hearing Sears disrespecting their kingdom. Sears looked and sneered at Arrora because of her identity as a half-elf. Sears clearly hated Astrels and even disgusted by them.
But again, Don seemed calm which surprised both Rodrigo and Lord Clemo, the latter was glad he's keeping his cool despite the obvious rudeness of Sears.
"What is it, Mage Sears?"
"I'm looking for the one who fought with Citrios, the one beside you" he pointed at Arrora as he continued, "and Arnen or what is it called again?" Sears asked the twins as they whispered "Arwen"
"Ah, Arwen" then Rosaline murmured something to Sears
"Also Knight, your Army General"
"Why are you looking for them?" Reghys was upset by seeing him calm at a citation like this, she expected him to take a stand against Sears as a king.
"They are the lucky bastards who were chosen to enter the devil's triangle" Sears let out a cold chuckle as Don looked at Joel.
"Your majesty, the devil's triangle is just like the ancient dungeon but more dangerous and an extremely unstable realm," Just by looking at Reghys's and Joel's face, he could tell the deadliness of this place. Reghys furrowed her brows and looked quite serious. She never acted like this even when they ventured into the ancient dungeon but now, she seemed serious.
"Now bring them to me, I have somewhere to be" Sears waved at Don like he's giving an order rather than a request.
"Who else is going to the devil's triangle? That place seems to be a death trap"
"Just be glad that we didn't choose you, now, I'll ask you one more time, bring them to me"
"No," Sear's eyes went wide for a moment and then he frowned hearing Don. Soon the aura around Sears became scorching hot
"I'm not sending my people to a death trap for no reason"
"Teacher, let me handle this" Rosaline gently pressed Sears's hands as he slightly calmed down.
"The devil's triangle is indeed a dangerous place but the mysteries and treasures it holds are far more valuable than even the ancient dungeon. Any rewards we give you will catapult your kingdom to the higher ranks. The answer to your question is, there are other champions who will enter the place with your men, the total number of people we are sending to the devil's triangle is twelve, that's all I can say to you at this moment. Now bring us the people my Teacher named"
"Do you have a date for this thing, Miss Rosaline?" Reghys seemed like she had something to say but Don signaled her not to.
"Next year at this exact date, the champions will stay in a secluded place where they train until the Devil's triangle open" when she finished saying Sears flicked his wrist as Arrora and the black-armored guards standing in the hall quickly reached for their weapons thinking Sears is going to attack.
But soon a shackle shaped ropes made of Life energy appeared in his hand,
"And make them wear this before bringing them" The ropes slowly floated towards Don
"It's a slave bond" Reghys gritted her teeth and Don looked at Rosaline and Sears
"They need to absolutely follow our orders during the training period, and what's a better way to do that than a slave bond? " Sears snickered
"Don't worry, we'll break this bond when we bring them back to you" Rosaline said.
Boom!
The moment the ropes got closer to Don, a sudden burst of battle energy rushed out of Don's hand and shattered the shackle into pieces.
"The only thing that keeps me from doing the same to you, is the logo on your chest" Don's cold voice echoed through the hall as Sears and everyone became startled for a moment.
