Chapter 62: End of the Banquet

The sun shone high up in the sky illuminating a certain Kingdom, in that Kingdom a banquet of historical proportions is about to end.

The palace banquet hall have a huge hole blown on it with other several holes tracing a straight line, looking at the room, blood and flesh together with limbs and heads of maids who, unfortunately got caught up in an altercation and became collateral damage is visible, causing their fellow maids to tremble in place or outright vomit in front of the Rulers.

Of course the rulers didn't blamed them, human, living humans just died in a horrible way being hit by a sonic speed worth of object... Or being that is escaping the grasp of her supposed to be friend. Some of the heads and bloods landed on the plate of Lucifer, he casually pulled the head that got the jaw part of a blond haired maid to be shaved off by the hair and passed it to Silence.

That was the only movement from the Rulers,  they stared at my subordinate, like they have seen a monster, who would have thought that someone not in their circle can restrain one of them, that alone made the name of Benetnash in the ranks of recognized people of the Rulers, even my sister to sky rocket.

Benetnash however does not have the time to be gleeful of her successful feat, she cannot even celebrate for accomplishing a hard mission of restraining a Ruler because her eyes, her numerous eyes that sprouted out of her face, those very eyes started to cry tears of blood and she also started to vomit crimson red blood.

It seems like Idun is fighting against the restraint of the spike shaped flesh and because it's her flesh it is just normal that she will receive the full brunt of Idun's retaliation.

I gave sigh, upon which I stood up from my seat and ordered Benetnash and Nyx to immediately go back to Valentine, because of this huge commotion caused by us, this banquet will abruptly end, the maids have to treated from the trauma of the gory scene earlier and more importantly, seeing that two friend started to duke it out revealing that one of the "children" of Idun is a double spy.

It became a fucking mess in short and they also knew that the situation have to be under my control and they have enough class to not interfere in my affairs, of course that is not the case for my sister, she's Idun's friend too after all.

She also stood back up, her expression turned cold and serious, her heterochromatic eyes stared at Idun's figure that got impaled, needless to say, my expression is the same, I have a friend that I have confirmed to betray me, she can be a potential enemy and I have to confirm if she will remain as my sword friend or will become my mortal nemesis, this person is, even though leaning more on the betrayer side can be a pillar ally and thus I have to confirm her standing.

I am shaken by confirming the fact about my friend erasing parts of my memories, but still, I have to do this, after all despite being an ally she can also become and catastrophic enemy and thus I have to be ready make her head roll but still, their are many lapses in Idun's actions, like I said earlier their are many mysterious aspects in this memory erasing shit.

Damn, not being clear about things is what I hate the most.

Normally I would have just killed someone in my ranks who betrayed me, but their are still many questions in my mind that are needed an immediate answer and the only person who can answer all of it is Idun thus I cannot kill her now.

... And a fact that I cannot lie about is that, she's one of the few people who have stayed as one of my friend till now, they either died or became my wife (this refers to Arachne if you do not know), and thus in an emotional standpoint I cannot kill her.

I walked at the giant gaping hole in the wall of the banquet hall and spread my wings, flying out of sight together with my sister who also have bat like wings similar to mine though a little smaller and a little bit not cumbersome to use.

I looked at her wings with a smile, she didn't said it to anyone else because she wants to not loss face but she probably copied the design of mine, is their no copyright Infringement law about copying spells.

Upon flying  a little fast, my sister looked at me and once again looked at her front, she opened her mouth.

"Stop forcing yourself."

And sped up, not changing her expression and not adding any more words, just the strong wosh of the wind being audible to my ears.

I just looked at her back figure without seeing anything to her, I thought that I can conceal my emotion to a perfected degree, but I guess deceiving a person not your family and deceiving your sister is two different matters huh?

That conversation is actually done in a super sonic matter and just a quarter of a second had passed since then after another quarter we saw Idun struggling to get out of the entrapment and slowly succeeding in doing so, I immediately put her to sleep with a chop accompanied by the tentacle spell I have used against Sigurd a while earlier, the  name of the spell is [Kraken] if you are wondering by the way.

I cocked her in my shoulder and immediately dash towards the direction of my Nation it just took a second to fly back because we used our base speed and didn't used a carriage or anything of the sort, thus after arriving a ringing sound of the coercive voice of the queen personally voicing out her decree sounded into the whole Kingdom, all people under our power immediately heard all of her words sending shiver down their spine as they, for the first time in a while heard the powerful voice of their monarch.

The decree of the queen is as follows: No one is to be inside the palace of the Devil King under any circumstances, reports, envoys and invitations are all prohibited until another decree that lifts the current one is to be issued, no person, including the Lovers of the First Prince is to stay inside the palace, anyone who disregarded the order will be personally slain by the Royal Siblings. Effective Immediately.

All of a sudden, by the domineering voice of my sister, the maids, butlers, soldiers and any other type of servants swarmed out of the palace in an orderly manner, they heard the order and most of then are old enough to see the last person who disregarded a Royal Decree and they do not want to be like that person, though that person survived because its me, well they do not want to give surviving a shot when they are not me so they immediately obeyed the command.

Plus their is also the fact that the decree is personally announced by the queen and didn't passed it to the Royal Decree Reader or to any mailman meaning that the matter is of grave importance that the Queen who likes respect and face will even have to lower herself to the levels of messengers.

Even Guinevere have Juliet in a Princess Carry and Arachne clinging on her back, flying while a golden colored aura is oozing out of her, she looked briefly into my shoulder who have the leader of the fairies with gaping holes in her linear vital spots and immediately flew out of the palace, or further away from it.

I just shook my head with how powerful a word from my sister is, actually I can pretty much also do that but my "Voice of Power" is solely trained to ensure fear in a instinctual level to the target, like that one time with Vega, so I will risk my people turning mad if I even did that, so I never did.

I heaved a sigh and my wings flapped into  a verdana of my palace, I don't have time to look out for people and thus went straight to my interrogation room, I have to make it clean and ordered the maids doing so because I didn't used it for a long time and I usually uses my lower head to make women divulge all of the information I want to know out of them, but this is a proper interrogation this time so I have to make it smell like a normal one and not like a squid storehouse.

My sister materialized crimson colored things that acted like a rope and tied Idun in a chair, her Magic of Absolute defense can come in handy in tying up people because they won't have any means to break the ropes no matter how much power of friendship they pulled out within them.

After thirty minutes or so, Idun started to wake up.

Now then, let the interrogation that have a close knitted friendship in the line, Start.

[3rd Person POV]

As Loki and Eris started the interrogation about Idun's actions, the Rulers that gathered in one place started to disperse.

"Let's go Kuro."

"Pardon me, I have to go back to my territory and prepare for my departure."

"The Sky Nation is far thus I have to travel in advance."

All of the Rulers went into their separate ways leaving only Sigurd alone in the table and Alice, or in her disguise Anna that already went back from escaping the suffocating scene a while earlier, the two of them silently stayed in the place they are in.

Sigurd silently looked and stared at the hole in the banquet hall and muttered.

"Camelot will have to prepare for an upcoming storm."

At the same time, Sky Nation, Oroboros' words about his home being far is obviously a lie, he immediately called someone through his connection to all the dragon Kin.

He is obviously got hit by a realization, the one who found a loophole in the Non-interference rule and the one who shattered it apart will obviously make big and bold moves after he did so, he or even the other members of the Seven Rulers just have a subconscious ridicule towards him because of his fondness of women and thought that he will indulge himself in his pleasure.

Oroboros just shook his head finally  receiving an answer from the kin he is contacting, the kin he just contacted is the leader of the scout force he sent in the land to scout the movements of the ruler territories.

"Esclava, find the last members of the Four Heavenly Dragons."

At the same time, all of the Rulers started to make bold moves, they fell indecisive that they didn't started to do so and just made mundane things like sending spies or in Lucifer's case sending his subordinate to be destroyed into a pulp, they were hit by a realization how just scheming Loki is, how spontaneous he is on making decisions, this super decisive person along side a very competent Elder sister ensured the survival of their race two hundred years ago, of course all of them are also survivors of that war.

If anything, with the exception of Lucifer, they want for that war to just be forgotten, but how would that war end if all the leading figures have survived and also knew that the halt of the war is abrupt?

Thus they also started to prepare, Lucifer called Asmodeus and make her plot for Valentine. He, never in his life gave up taking down the Devil and Vampire Kingdom.

Selaphiel also moved back to her territory and who knows what does she wants to do.

At this moment, the storm that started as a strong gust of wind when Guinevere left Camelot, the storm that brewed when Idun is saved from her curse finally started to move, shaking the already wobbly peace of the world.
