Fraser's Kingdom! The Royal and Noble's meeting! Part 2
On our way to the meeting room, all the noble families with their personal guards. They all look so strong and experienced, I bet they all are Tier 5 classes or even hybrid, they are looking at me and Shive. I heard a few of their words,
"Heh a kid and a woman as his personal guard, what a joke."
"Who is that kid, he is too young and looks weak."
"That woman's body is beautiful, I should ask her out."
"What a woman can do? Tell her to go back to her house and stay still."
"She's not even wearing the outfit, I bet she doesn't know how to wear it, or too expensive for her to wear."
I look at Shive, she's just as cool as ever. She didn't bother all the talking. I heard her exhaled and say something under her breaths,
"Disgusting human."
Scary... I hope she doesn't lose control, or she will kill everyone in here. She looking at me and raised her eyebrow. I'm shaking my head and smiling. We entered the meeting room, it's so huge with fancy lamps, big paintings, and audience chairs and tables on the sides, the table and chairs the chair frames are made from gold, and a big round table in the middle made from gold, the biggest round table I've ever seen in my whole life. I counted there are more than hundreds of nobles, but only 20 nobles that are sitting on the round table, and Rorin is one of them. There's one empty sit in there and I don't know who's chair it belongs to. In front of us, we see,
1. King Fraser Bulark.
2. Queen Stevia Averyne.
3. Queen Beckett Victoria.
4. King Kaiser Sterling.
5. King Travis Lovelace.
My father stands beside King Fraser and he smiled at me. Everyone is finally here and then the King says,
"We all gathering here under my own request, and thank you all for coming far away to my Kingdom. We all here and we want to talk about making the strongest army and we need all your help."
Everyone is mumbling something and then King Fraser continues,
"I know you all are wondering why we asked such a thing, I will give you our reasons.
First. About the tragedy in the past with DEATH.
Second. Genesis's whereabouts are still unknown, so we will make our own strongest army that equal to the Genesis, and the army will be independent, and under nobody's control and only to serve for justice.
Third. If other Kingdom waging war, the army will be the one to prevent that. We don't want to see something like what happened to the Sterling's and Everwill's Kingdom.
Forth. All the corrupt nobles will be handled by the army.
We will name them The Justice. The five Human Kingdoms will be the observer of the army. We vote every time we made a decision, will be accepted or declined is based on the result of the vote except it is for any emergency measures acts. Also, we already choose three of the greatest and strong generals from our Kingdoms as the leader of the army. They will leave their ranks and become the generals of The Justice army. We cannot just depend on Genesis alone, and we need to make the army as strong as Genesis. We do not want the world ruled by them, if someday they want to do that, we can prevent them from it. Those 12 Rulers of Asertia, are chosen by the Gods themselves. We must show them that we will make Asertia at peace. I know that you all nobles thinking what profit do you all get if you help us. There are no profits, but the safety of our people is our priority. Now all the nobles, we want to see who agrees with this and help us to create the greatest army in Asertia."
The nobles starting to mumbling again, it's getting louder and louder. They all are discussing it for quite a while. Then one of the noble in the round table asks. His name is Hart Reynold
"What is the minimum amount of money do we have to donate?"
Fraser replies.
"100 Royal Coins."
Everyone is surprised and starting to complaining, that's too much, 100 Royal Coins enough to make their own army. After hours of complaining and questioning. Finally, the 12 Nobles on the round tables raised their hands and will help to make the army, but Rorin isn't one of them. Rorin then told me and Shive to get closer and he whispers to us,
"These 12 Nobles that are agreed, are the colleagues of Eida Portman. They owed Eida a lot of money. It is suspicious why they all agreed to this even though they did not get any profits from this. I am pretty sure that Eida already knows about this meeting and told them beforehand to accept the proposal. Meaning, one of those Kings or Queens is associating with Eida and will be the one playing the string and control the army by him/herself. Both of you, I beg you to guard my wife and my son. Because this might be the end for my family since I didn't agree to the proposal."
Shive not showing any expression at all, like she doesn't care about all this. But she cares about one thing and says,
"Of course we will protect your family, it's our job."
I nod with the agreement. Then Shive raises her hand. Everyone looks at her, then Fraser says,
"You are Lord Rorin personal guard? What is your name and what is it?"
Shive replies,
"I am Shive. My question is a bit rude your highness, how confident are you, that you think The Justice army can beat DEATH or Genesis?"
Shive, what is she doing. Fraser replies,
.
"We are hundred percent confident about The Justice army, who led by three of our strongest general."
Shive replies,
"Then can I test one of your strongest general, and have a duel with me?"
The nobles are dissing her. But she doesn't care at all. Fraser replies,
"What class are you Miss Shive?"
Shive approached the King and gave her license to him and he showed it to the other Kings and Queens. Fraser replies,
"I'm sorry Miss Shive, but you are just a Tier 1 Knight, I am not being rude, but for your own safety... I will decline your request."
Everyone is laughing so hard and making fun of her and dissing her. She didn't bother at all and walking back. On her way back to Rorin, one of the generals says,
"Your highness, I would like to accept her request. It is good for everyone here to see how strong we are and I know for sure that she is stronger than her looks."
Fraser went quiet for quite a while and then allowing him and Shive to use the space between the thrones and round table as the arena. Shive stopped and turns around. The general introduces himself,
"My name is Dwell McMillan, I am chosen by the Kings and Queens as the strongest general that will be one of the leaders for The Justice army. My class is Sacrificer. It is my pleasure to be requested by a beautiful woman for a duel."
Dwell McMillan, the famous general that killed a dragon on his own, it's not just a rumor, it's the fact. He brought the dragon's head to the Kingdom as a present for Queen Stevia Averyne. Shive replies,
"The pleasure is mine, Mister Dwell McMillan."
Dwell ask,
"Where is your weapon, Miss Shive? You do not bring a weapon to protect the noble?"
Shive replies,
"I'm planning to use just my bare hands, but you're a strong and a humble person, I'll respect you and I will fight you using a sword."
Dwell laughing but everyone else dissing her for being cocky and arrogant. Shive looking at me and says,
"Val, lend me your sword."
I approached her and gave her my sword. She stares at my sword, this is the first time she's ever looking at my sword that close. She nods and says,
"Val, I'll give you another sword if I broke it."
I laughed nervously because she never lies about what she said, neither giving me a new sword nor breaking my sword. Shive says,
"Alright, Mister Dwell McMillan. I'm sorry for the wait, and I'm going to use a bit of my strength because I don't want to hurt anyone in here on accident."
Dwell replies,
"Young lady, you are scary. This is the first time I see someone like you. Let us start the duel."
Fraser will be the judge before he gives the signal. Shive stance is different. She stood there and holding the sword down with her hands, like a real knight showing their pride. Suddenly the floor she's standing on, just broke. My instinct told me to run away as fast as I can even though I'm far away from her and I'm not her target. My body is trembling and my neck is shivering, I never feel something like this before.
