A Highest Rank in Another World!

Chapter 122 - 121 - Emma's Son.

Two days later, in the capital's castle.

"Sir, they are moving." The man politely knelt in front of the king and continued: "By our estimation, their army is made up of about 500 beastmen."

"Only 500? Where are they at the moment?" The King seemed confused by the choice of the King of Beastled, was he underestimating us that much?

Thinking about it, the king clenched his fists and looked intently at the man kneeling in front of him. With this sudden action, the man began to sweat as his body trembled a little.

"They are north of the capital, they are camping near the border." At the man's words, the king widened his eyes.

"Isn't this close to where the village run by Emma is?" The king asked the man.

"That's right."

"What a problem, I don't think we have any other choice."

'Since Beastled's troops were close to that woman's village, we need to act immediately to keep everything a secret, or she will end up harming us.' That was what the king thought.

"As you wish, we will send troops to the border in case they decide to cross it."

"Do this, and don't let Emma find out about it, she might end up getting mixed up in this."

"It wouldn't be a problem if that happened. If that woman fights on our side, we won't have any problems when it comes to mages." The man smiled mischievously.

"But it's still a big problem. That woman isn't that stupid, it won't be so easy to keep her quiet if she realizes that this 'Secret War' is happening." The King sighed in disappointment.

"I see, but shouldn't you keep this public? Declare war immediately so we can attack with all our strength." The man looked excited, but the king held up his hand to stop him from talking further.

"I was thinking about this for a while, but I chose not to do it now."

"But why?"

"Our strongest troops are not ready yet." The King looked and smiled mischievously at the man, seeing this, the man also smiled.

"Are you saying those monsters? But wasn't it nearly finished?"

"We had an unforeseen." Remembering what happened a few weeks ago, the king looked a little irritated. Not knowing exactly what had happened, the man in front of him looked very confused.

"I understand." But seeing that it was better not to broach the subject, the man did not ask the king about it.

"Then just gather troops and go to the border. Try to negotiate for them to withdraw. Don't be hasty and don't go near that woman's village either, understand?"

"Yes sir." The man in front of him got up and then left the room. After that, the king sighed and began to remember that conversation he had a few weeks ago.

#####

A few weeks ago, in the castle of the country's capital Southlein.

"King, we have a big problem." While he was sitting in the throne room, a woman broke into his room, drawing the attention of everyone in the room. Seeing this, the guards took their swords and pointed towards the woman.

"Calm down." The king motioned for the soldiers to lower their weapons and return to their previous positions. After that he allowed the woman to speak.

"The laboratory has been invaded."

"Which?" Hearing the woman's words, the king rose from the throne looking incredulous: "How did this happen?!" The king shouted loud enough that even the people outside the throne room heard his words.

People passing by at the time started spreading rumors about how angry the king was.

"I'm sorry, it was too sudden. When I realized, that boy was already inside the laboratory."

"Boy?" The king looked even more surprised.

"That's right. Our troops did everything to stop him, but it didn't work out, the boy used magic and destroyed everything."

"Destroyed everything?" The king's legs gave out and he fell onto his throne.

"Yes, everything collapsed and all our troops were turned to nothing but ash." The woman seemed calmer than she should have, so the king was starting to get annoyed at her way of acting.

"Who was the bastard?!"

"But don't worry, the building has been erected again by the court mages, so we don't have any problems with the underground laboratory... But..."

"I'm asking who the bastard did this!" The King rose from his throne again and then approached the woman in front of him. He wasn't caring about his safety approaching that woman.

"Okay, here it is." Saying this, the woman removed a rectangular object from her pocket. That girl called it "Cell Phone."

The king had seen it before, so he wasn't surprised, but the guards were on the alert for what the woman would do. But since the king wasn't worried, the guards realized he wasn't in danger.

After that, the woman handed the rectangular object to the king and he started looking at the images that were there.

In them was a small boy with black hair who appeared to be 13 or 14 years old. He was tied to a bed, but when the woman started to hurt him, he managed to break free.

After that, he managed to escape.

"That was after he destroyed everything, he managed to escape." The woman said with an indifferent expression.

"Have you been able to identify who this boy is?" The king was uneasy, but the woman's words made him even more nervous.

"This is Emma's son." The woman said.

"Emma... You mean that Emma?" The King knew this woman very well. A strong, dangerous woman who used fire magic as a weapon. She was strong enough to destroy his army.

"This boy is Emma's son?" That's what the king was thinking.

But he also couldn't stop thinking about a reason this boy had done it. When did he find out about the lab's existence? And why did he decide to destroy everything to stop his plans?

"Why is this boy trying to stop us?" The king was nervous that he couldn't do anything against this boy. If he had managed to kill all those monsters in the lab, he's not a person you can piss off.

"I don't think that's the case."

"Isn't he trying to stop us?"

"Exactly, he didn't even seem to care exactly what those monsters would be used for."

"So you're saying he just killed the monsters and destroyed everything, because-"

"Because he was attacked." The woman said without hesitation.

"Just for that? What a scary boy."

'He just destroyed everything because he was attacked? I think this was a mistake on our part, we should have sent him away without attacking him.' That was what the king was thinking.

But despite being nervous, he was relieved by the woman's next words.

"But he doesn't seem to have told anyone about it."

"You is sure?"

"I had someone watch him as soon as he left, but he doesn't seem to have told anyone about the lab."

"Haa~~" The King sighed, relieved at the woman's affirmation.

"He didn't seem to care about it either, it was like he never found our lab."

"So you mean we can leave him for now?"

"Exactly." The woman seemed confident that nothing would happen, so the king decided to believe her.

This was the woman who volunteered to help him, only she could create his troops, so he had to respect her. But of course, he didn't like doing something like that.

After that conversation, the woman withdrew saying that she would continue to create new troops. Looks like she's been getting to create them more quickly.

If that boy wasn't so strong and wasn't also Emma's son, the King would probably do something about it, but he thought it best to ignore it for now.

Current moments.

"Now I need some rest, something tells me it's going to be a long week." The King rose from his throne and then, accompanied by his guards, went to the castle's dining room.

The huge table was only being occupied by two people.

A small girl with black curly hair and a woman in her 40s with an extravagant dress.

In the presence of the King, the girl got up and ran to him.

"Dad." Moving closer, she hugged him affectionately as the king placed his hand on her head.

With that vision, the woman smiled graciously.

After being dropped by the little girl, the King sat down at the table next to them and began to eat. Dinner was served by beautiful maids wearing long frilly dresses, any man would dream of being served by such a woman.

'But when you have such a beautiful wife at your table, would anyone think of having another woman serve you?' The King thought as he looked at his wife.

After that, the King had dinner with his family while talking about some things, but at no time did he mention the fact that he was practically entering a war against the country called Beastled.

Would his daughter be calm if she found out? And his wife, what would she say?

The King had no idea what would happen if the two of them found out about it.

'But even so, it won't be long before it starts to affect everyone and become public.' That's what the king thought as he smiled bitterly at his little daughter who had a radiant smile on her face.

'How could a shit like me have a daughter who looks like an angel?'
