Debate at the court

The knights of the Sprache Kingdom were now on full defense and the 5 dukes have met up to discuss the battle strategies.

.

In the mean time Jeremy was training whilst Drake was looking very sleepy.

.

"HEY!" The tired looking Drake suddenly woke up with the loud shout entering his ear.

.

"What's wrong with you!?!" Drake shouted angrily at his friend.

.

"The commander is calling all soldiers to go to him." Drake suddenly woke up after hearing this, he then ran towards the commander leaving Jeremy behind. Jeremy looked annoyed but eventually ran towards his commander as well.

.

As soon as they got their they saw knights they were familiar with inside the room with some entering as well.

.

"The dukes have decided that two of you would be going with ambassador Wilhelm to try to negotiate with the Court." After this most of the knights glanced at Jeremy who was the strongest out of the bunch.

.

"Now an anonymous voting process would begin, just write a name and throw them in this box." The commander then grabbed a box and placed it in the center. Soon the box was filled and the commander brought a mage to count the tally.

.

"Please leave now, the voting is over, however Drake Dunningham and Jeremy Vuntur please stay." Th other knights expected this already and went to what they were doing beforehand, with some complaining why they were even made to vote. The two chosen knights one talented but lazy and one hard working but not talented stayed.

A few days after the mobilization of the knights of Sprache a court meeting is now being taken place to see if the other powers could interfere. Planet Tyr consists of 10 great powers and 21 minor powers, all 31 has now gathered ambassadors to discuss the current situation. 3 of the great powers are now at war and their job is to defuse this situation.

.

"Mr. Bogdan and Pope Servius, these land's were given to the Sprache Kingdom by the former Kingdom of Pevnost 200 years ago, the revolution of your country does not change the fact that the Sprache Kingdom now owns this."

.

"Ambassador Wilhelm, this is not something for you to decide, god's wish is for the Sprache Kingdom to have peace and prosperity working together and not against, that land has been in your hands for too long." Wilhelm was already at his boiling point, the debate had lasted for a good few hours or so, however the Pope and Secretary Bogdan was quite stubborn.

.

"If you insist, the Sprache Kingdom would go to war with the Church of Pagan and the Pevnost Republic." Wilhelm was now fed up, he already got permission of the King but Wilhelm insisted that he could defuse the situation. Wilhelm then stood up and left the building while some of the ambassadors have drippling sweat on their faces.

.

Wilhelm then stepped into the carriage with his two guards jumping on to the front to control the magic beasts.

Zeph and his crew was now at the half way point when Zar stopped the carraige. Unlike at the start they were quite happy with their growth, they had now leveled up quite a bit so their morale was better than before. However that tiny bit of morale boost was now about to crash down on them like a 100 story skyscraper falling down on a one story house.

.

"You all good?" Zar smiled like a new father who just saw his children fall down, but to the four of them a smile like that looked like a smile of a serial killer playing with his victims before finally throwing them into a hole just to cover them with dirt to suffocate.

.

"Yes uncle." Zeph replied while fatigue could be seen in his eyes, the only reason Zeph and the three others hasn't collapsed from exhaustion was that the Devil Zar was throwing basic stamina potion at them, which would replenish your stamina but still keep the pain.

.

"GREAT!, I was going to get the ingredients for the potions on my own but it seems that you four are still energetic." The smile of the devil appeared again and scarred Zeph while his teammates were staring daggers at him.

.

Zeph couldn't just let his team get dragged in like that so in response he said the words that would trigger his depression for the next 5 hours or so.

.

"But, uncle won't we need to be at the Magical Dwarves by tomorrow?" Feeling victorious Zeph looked back to his teammates with a thumbs up, though Zeph felt that stares were not daggers anymore they were now nukes that could explode any minute, so Zeph looked at his uncle again and his face froze. A giant grin larger than any grin that Zeph saw his uncle wear, the joy in his heart lowered as the helplessness started rolling in, even the nuke stares were gone and pure horror replaced it.

.

"Don't worry. That was all made up." A smiling Zar went to the carriage to get the items needed to collect ingredients for the potion, whilst the 4 were slumped in the ground. The last bit of happiness from increasing levels were now gone.
