Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 127 The Capital

?

With little effort, the lady caught the vial despite her current situation. She held it as she stared at the winged being.

Unlike it whose wings seemed to be a natural part of his body, hers were simply a by-product of her skills. She could also feel the restrained power in him.

She didn't know it it was a talent that came from being a lord but she adapted to mana way to quickly for it to be normal. though she couldn't tell the exact power difference, she could tell that he was a lot stronger than she was.

"Use the injection, lady... I hope to see you at the next great meeting, with your power, his Majesty may give you a seat at the Deus Council" the winged being said.

She didn't need anyone to spell it out for her anymore, she could already tell who or what faction these people belonged to. It was the popular Lord [Kingsley].

"Why are you doing this?" she asked uncomfortable at the level of help being offered

"Consider it an investment, your power is interesting, I believe his Majesty would think the same" The winged being said as he flew towards the helicopter that still hovered in the air.

She didn't understand what the being meant by this, was she an investment that he expected her to become stronger or was it that they just found her ability interesting.

"You know his Majesty will only recognize her if she submits to him" The governor said when the captain boarded the helicopter again

"Now she has a higher chance of submitting, maybe during the next gathering you will see her" The captain, Dal said with a shrug

He may not exactly know what had compelled him to help the lady but he had a good feeling about it.

His role now may just be that of a soldier but he was first and foremost an archangel. A bearer of good to those who do good and a devil to all who are evil.

"Besides, it was you who gave her an aspirin... even in such abundant quantities, we know that thing should be priceless" Dal replied as he focused on his duties.

He may have saved the lady's life but he wasn't the one who had freely handed over such a priceless potion.

"Onwards to the capital!" Dal ordered as the helicopter or the K-5 sped into the distance.

The Capital

Deus Kingdom.

Outside the massive city walls, several Torii could be seen standing a few meters before the gates and to the side to allow space for the natives from the three kingdoms.

Each Torii stood activated as the Lords trooped out of them in their carriages. Each of them dressed in fancy clothes to represent their house best.

As nobles/Governors of the Deus kingdom, their appearance mattered a lot but above all, each one dressed as fine as they could simply because it was the human of things.

Each one knew what sort of world they were in and what sort of dangers plagued it. Many of them had still yet to find their family members be it a child, father or mother.

They all clearly understood this was a waste of time but they also understood that simply brooding around in their castles wouldn't get anything accomplished.

This was also the first time for them to meet each other physically so each one wanted to give a long-lasting impression.

Each one waited in line patiently as the soldiers checked their identities before they were allowed through. There was no clear meaning to the action since no one else knew that such an event was holding so there would be no way any unknown being would enter.

"Are those dwarves?" one of the lords pointed out in a really loud noise

His shout drew the attention of others as they all turned to see the cause of the commotion. By the second gate was another line and on the line were various natives.

There were Dwarves, High Orcs and even Elves waiting in line to enter the city. Such traffic was caused because of the newly constructed roads connecting the three lands to the capital.

Though Kingsley himself had not helped them in the construction, the roads were built pretty quickly. It was a world with magic after all.

"I never imagined that there will be many others like his Majesty" a voice said as it's owner looked down on the commotion below the walls

"None of them are anywhere near his Majesty"

Another voice replied, beside the two stood two other beings who just remained silent as they watched the commotion. Though their thoughts were unknown, their expressions revealed enough.

All four monarchs were silently judging or comparing the governors to their master.

"Some of them do have some power within them" Viktor said with a shrug as though he wasn't impressed by their level of power.

"I don't think their power is what his Majesty had in mind, like us, I believe it's just a matter of capability... maybe they are all excellent leaders for his Majesty to accept them as his governors" a voice was heard as an ethereal looking lady faded into reality.

Hearing Athena's words, all four nodded and agreed a bit. they naturally had no idea what circumstances surrounded the governors or even what brought about them being lords in the first place.

"She's here!" Another voice joined in excitedly as a brightly dressed being appeared beside them

Hearing her, all of them turned their attention to the person, the being was referring to. Looking down at the Torii, they could all see a carriage pull out of it but unlike the governor's

This carriage had several mounted knights protecting it. Each one in shiny armor that immediately made them stand out amongst the crowd

"Who's that?" the governors who noticed the new carriage asked, drawing the attention of the others who had yet to notice

"Damn, look at those knights, how are they so tall" A governor commented

"You're just noticing that now, all the natives are mostly taller than us?" someone else pointed out

The carriage looked completely different from the others and made it very clear that whoever was in the carriage was definitely important.

Just as the people were becoming more and more curious as to who the carriage carried, a weak bit still incredibly powerful aura erupted from with the carriages stopping everyone in their tracks.

The natives present could already tell who it was with just a glance at the armor on the knights and the carriage immediately dropped to their knees

Back on the walls, two particular monarchs could be seen smiling from ear to ear in joy.

"She seems to embody a bit of you two" Hestia noted as she turned to the excited Faes

"Well... Faes are complicated, we also embody a bit of her as she does us" Solaris replied with a shrug as though it was the most natural thing to say or know

"What about his Majesty, is he ready yet?" Luna asked

"Well, he is the host so what do you think?" Hestia replied

"Makes sense" She replied as they focused on the incoming governors.

"Okay that's enough sightseeing, everyone to your positions... his Majesty is already nervous enough, let's make the work easier for him" Viktor ordered as they all sighed and immediately vanished from the wall.

Meanwhile the one responsible for everything could be seen standing in front of two girls who were dressed in maid outfits.

"So, how's this one" Kingsley asked as he showcased what he was wearing which was a red one-piece suit with various modifications.

"It does look as official but we are going for a kingly look, your majesty not a merchant" the helper asked

"Diepe, please have mercy on me, it's just a meeting" Kingsley complained

"Sir, it is the kingdom's first gathering... the first of its kind, you have to look your best" Diepe replied in a soft but stern manner

Kingsley may understand the meaning behind her words but he had been trying on clothes for the past three hours now. All of them looked good on him since he had created them to do so but this was excessive.

Worse, Diepe says she wanted him to wear something kingly. What was more official than a suit. Hell, even the Queen of England wore suits... fancy suits but those ones are nothing compared to the modifications he had made to what he was wearing.

"Wait, what of I add a coat or something" Kingsley said as he materialized a coat with his kingdom's sigil on it

"That's.... strangely okay, you're ready your majesty" Diepe said with a proud smile on her face as the other maid began to pack all the equipment used in getting him ready.

"Finally!" Kingsley said in relief as he sat down

He may be way superior to Diepe in more ways than one but He knew not to wave his authority around when unnecessary
