Chapter 13 Arriving In The Holy Kingdom
Three days went by instantly. Throughout their small carriage journey Arius learned a lot about the royal family on how they care for their people and don't abuse their religion, this greatly shocked him, he kind of regretted being an ass for just getting annoyed but he knew he couldn't fix the past so he let that regret go easily.
Arius was silently gazing out the carriage window and what he witnessed was shocking. A beautiful kingdom could be seen over the grassy hills it had a giant clean white wall that was 50 meters in height from bottom to top and had soldiers stationed at the top who looked down at the outside.
"Alfred that's a huge wall..." Arius couldn't help but speak.
"Haha, behold are mighty wall that is protected by the goddess Aphrodite." Sticking out his burly chest Alfred answered in pride.
Arius slowly turned his head toward Alfred who was still smiling from ear to ear. [Aphrodite the goddess of love, sex, and beauty is your protector?] Arius's mind had a major overload of shock.
He couldn't help but ask if he knew what Aphrodite represented. "What type of goddess is Aphrodite?"
"Ah, Aphrodite is the goddess of purity representing all pure beings," Alfred responded with a confused face looking at Arius like he was a moron.
"HAHA, I CAN'T, NO WAY... I CAN'T BREATHE." Arius laughed out loud trying his hardest not to die from laughing too hard.
"Um, Arius why are you laughing?" Jasmin timidly spoke up seeing Arius cry in laughter.
After getting himself together Arius looked at Jasmin with a serious face. "Nothing, Aphrodite is such a pure goddess!"
The royal family and Eva looked at Arius who was still trying to hold in his laughter in confusion. All of them thought it was common sense that Aphrodite was the goddess of purity?
While Arius was still trying his hardest not to laugh in the carriage, they arrived in front of a giant golden gate that had two knights standing on each side holding long spears.
Noticing a golden carriage with the Holy kingdom's crest mark painted on the side made the knights rush toward the carriage. Seeing a large burly man with a black beard and hair, dressed in a white cloth that had a golden crest on the front step out of the carriage caused both knights to bow. This was the first time these two knights got to see the King.
"We welcome back the royal family!" The two knights bowed at the same time.
"Please open up the gate, and get back to you're duties supporting this kingdom," Alfred spoke while waving his hand in dismissal.
"Yes, your majesty!" Both knights went back to their stations and opened up the gate.
Screech...
The golden gate opened slowly revealing the beauty of the holy kingdom. Thousands of commoners walked the streets buying and selling from street stalls. Kids ran around playing tag with smiles on their faces. Buildings were stacked next to each other, Pubs, Brothels and, Inns were all there.
While the carriage headed toward the royal palace Arius and Eva couldn't help but look outside the window like curious children.
As the carriage holding Arius, Eva and the royal family approached the royal palace, Arius and Eva couldn't help but look up at the enormous palace covered in white with golden crests stitched into flags flying from the building's roof.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace. Arius and Eva exited first while the royal family followed behind. When everyone was out of the carriage there were three maids, six butlers, and 25 knights bowing their faces towards the stone floor.
"We Welcome back the royal family!" They all shouted in unison.
"Thank you for the greetings, please lift your head we have specials guests," Alfred spoke in a dignified tone.
Hearing what their king said they all lifted their heads to see a 5-year-old boy with spiky white hair and shining red eyes smiling at them. After gazing at the young boy they turned their attention to the elf who stood by his side. The men present couldn't help but feel the lust growing in their pants seeing the beautiful elf girl who had long golden hair that reached her undeveloped ass while her eyes were colored green which shined brightly showing off an elegant aura.
If you're wondering how no one has noticed Eva's Whip marks on her face was because Arius used magic to heal the horrible scars on her face before they left his home.
"Your majesty, who is this child?" An old man with a long white beard stepped forward and politely asked the king.
"This is Arius Fay, my family's savior who killed the assassins who were sent to kill us" Alfred pointed his finger toward Arius who had an awkward expression plastered on his face.
Arius looked over at Alfred with a little sweat dripping off his forehead. [So you're gonna leave out the part where I 'disciplined' your family and made you guys sweat like pigs in the 'oven' carriage?]
While Arius was thinking to himself, Jasmin tapped him on the shoulder. Turning around Arius showed the princess an awkward smile. "Yes, princess?"
"My my Sir Arius no need to call me princess you heard my father you are this family's savior after all." Jasmin smiled like a fairy.
Noticing a random knight send death glares toward Arius, Eva silently tugged on his shirt before whispering in his ear. "Arius the knight in the first row to the right is staring at you with a glare every time you talk with the princess.
Hearing these words Arius looked toward the knight in question who was still glaring at him sending a deathly stare. Seeing this, a small grin formed on Arius's face.
[Host are you sure you aren't trying to cause any trouble?] The Supreme system asked inside his head knowing he was gonna do something to cause a problem.
[Of course not, I just wanna see a little reaction that's all] Arius responded inside his head.
Arius stared at Jasmin with a smile before tightly hugging her waist which caught the princess off guard.
"Arius!" For the first time in her life, she was touched by the opposite gender, and her brain couldn't handle the emotional pressure. Seeing Arius still being able to hug her body put her in disbelief. [How did he not pass out, did the curse not work on him?]
Jasmin at this moment knew the gods fated her to meet with Arius to be married!
While Jasmin stared at Arius with love eyes, he was unaware of what he had just caused. Not knowing his future would become a deathly battlefield of love between three women.
