The Golden Throne

Chapter 116 - Bragging

"You don't know? My daughter and Liu Feng are officially a couple now. Liu Feng already requested permission for an alliance between kingdoms through marriage. I am just waiting for the right time.", Damascus said haughtily.

"What is this about? An official couple? When was this decided? What is going on here?", Liu Man interjected, confused.

"Hehe, just a few days ago, no wait. Just yesterday, your dear son confessed to Amelia, and lo and behold, she accepted. Well, I certainly did not expect that! Amelia detested Liu Feng for so long, it was quite amusing to hear that Liu Feng still wanted to pursue her. Who knows how Liu Feng changed her mind.", Damascus laid back as he thought out loud.

"What the hell is this? Liu Feng is the only person who has contact with that mage tower person. He holds a lot of delegatory power in his hands. I will not allow this power to fall between Elvan and Aegon through matrimony. Liu Man, what do you think about my daughter? She inherited only her mother's beauty, not my coarseness. What do you think, eh? Few kings have gone about with only one wife. This is not a precedent." Balor said, rubbing his fingers.

"Why cry now, Balor? The two just met at the right time, at the right circumstances, and had the right experiences. And, do you really think that your daughter can even compare with Amelia with the slightest? Did you ever look at them side by side. My daughter is the most beautiful of them all, not a doubt.", Damascus spoke even louder. His cheeks were red with the wine that he was drinking.

"Right time my ass. You were just lucky. Who knows what could happen in the future? Haela is truly a beauty. She will be able to change his heart, maybe."

"Shut Up! He is just fifteen years old. If my wife hears of what you people are talking about, she will murder me. By the way, what is it about Liu Feng getting a girlfriend? Send her to my house once. Her mother-in-law should size her up shouldn't she?"

"I am not going to allow her to get an inferiority complex when she is just a child.", Damascus refused outright.

"What inferiority complex? My Daiyu is the sweetest person in the whole world. Don't you dare say that your daughter can't handle a little talk with her future mother-in-law?", Liu Feng jested.

"Put all that aside. This place is very huge, Liu Man. Dare I say, even your dear old capital city is a little inferior to this. The only place that I saw which was better than this by miles was the holy city at the centre of the continent. But, this is second, and third is not even close.", Balor commented as he got up and went to the balcony. He had a bottle in his hand, which he was sipping from as he looked outside the balcony. 

"What are you talking about? This is my city as well. My son's city!", Liu Man said proudly.

"Don't kid yourself, Liu Man. This is that mage tower master's city, and you know it. We can't hope to offend him right now, with the demon invasion and all. Don't mess with him anytime soon. We also don't know how powerful he is.", Damascus said with a grave tone.

"Demon invasion this, demon invasion that. I wonder why you guys want to believe it so much. Mabe this was all a hoax by the Glade kingdom to scare us. If we break the treaty now, we will have to answer all of the other kingdoms later. I do not want a repetition of the nightmare of fifty years ago now. My father will murder me.", Liu Man sighed.

"Your father is still alive? Now that's a surprise. I thought that he kicked the bucket years ago.", Balor said as he came back into the room.

"We humans may not live for long, but we certainly have the vitality of a cockroach. We will all live till we are a hundred.", Liu Man raised his bottle for a toast.

The kings were joking with each other when a guard knocked on the door.

All of them regained their composure and Liu Man said, "Come in."

The guard came in and relayed Liu Feng's words to them.

"It is noted, you may leave."

Meanwhile, Liu Feng went to the magic academy. He had a very important thing to do, and he knew that time and tide waited for no one. With no student actually knowing the gravity of the situation, he had to start cautioning all the students immediately. The fact that Jean was a demon was now well known to all the students, and Glade would certainly not sit tight during this time. However, Liu Feng was sneezing all the way. He cursed, "Who the hell is talking about me behind my back?", rubbing his nose. He went back to the dorm, where Alderan was waiting for him.

"How did the meeting go? What did my father say to you? Did he tell you to tell me anything?"

"Stop being so, well, you. Just relax. You don't need to be the centre of attraction wherever you go. You are just a prince and not even the only child of Elvan. You do realize that Amelia has a contract with the Queen of Air, Eurus right?"

"What does that have to do with anything? I am asking if my father has said anything to me."

"Nothing. We only spoke about demons, okay. Nothing else. Now, if you please, I want to rest. It has been a long day."

"You are like an uncle. Always saying that you have to rest, just because it has been a long day. You do realize that only uncles behave like that right?"

Liu Feng looked surprised. "They do, right? That means that -"

"What are you mumbling about?", Alderan looked at Liu Feng suspiciously. 

Liu Feng fell on the bed and closed his eyes. He called upon the spirits, and Aquous answered. "You are too spoiled Liu Feng. We are answering whenever you want so you are calling us whenever you want."

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"I am the queen of water. I have to take care of your oceans, you know?"

"You control the oceans around us?"

"Yes, obviously. Who else? The stupid mosters in there? That nine headed snake can only match up to a percent of my power, maybe more. Well, that is powerful for the mortal realm."

"I called you because I have a few questions regarding the soul."

"Ah, the soul. One of the more profound aspects of living that no one knows the true answers to. Well, in with it."

"If the soul is older than the body that holds it, does the body react adversely?"

"All souls are as old as mana itself. They are all in an endless cycle of reincarnation. Maybe, because you think of yourself as old, you feel that your body is not functioning properly. It is a problem with you, not with the soul."

"A problem with me?", Liu Feng pondered.
