A month finally passed after the first elite warriors of the Galhala kingdom sent by the Galhala king embarked on their journey towards the secret hideout of the guardians in order to notify them about the demons and to ask their back up.

And at the same time, it had been a week since the second squad of warriors got sent with a different mission, which is to investigate the disappearance of the first squad before them. Unlike the first squad, the second squad keeps in touch with the kingdom every day, following prime minister, Allomere’s orders.

Since their priority is to investigate, they proceed with full of caution and refrain from being hasty. It’s just a matter of time to see what they will find, so Druid Oz decided to continue to instruct his summoned insects in the search for the demon king’s fragment of seal and to investigate the other kingdom near the Galhala kingdom.

Druid Oz present at the training grounds to train the Galhala kingdom’s soldiers once every two days, but Druid Oz takes the opportunity to train his familiars every day as well. His magic beasts that standby at the capital will help the soldiers train and improve their fighting strength as well.

In this short while, the number of Druid Oz’s infernal mosquitos and frost bees had broken through 2000, while the Electric Tarantulas and Bedrock beetles had reacher 800 in number.

Druid Oz had been feeding them lots of his mana to improve the speed of their reproduction so that he could spread more of his summoned insects to the Eastaria continent. His magic beasts had increased in number as well, but their offsprings are still cubs so Druid Oz couldn’t rely on them yet.

After looking at the state of the Simalia kingdom, Druid Oz got even sure that he needs to make sure of the improvement of the Galhala kingdom’s soldiers. They didn’t know the actual number of the demons inside the Eastaria continent, there is still no clear reason found about how the demons entered the Eastaria continent.

And to add that the strong guardians of the Eastaria continent still couldn’t be contacted, if they add the possibilities of the strong guardians to be demonized and joined the demonic ranks as well, it means that the Galhala kingdom needs to urgently increase their strength.

(I don’t know why… But this feeling that telling me that the worst-case scenario will be the one that turns into reality keeps on haunting…) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz had been monitoring the battles across the Galhala Kingdom from the eyes of his familiars. The demons that attacked the villages are still just demonized magic beasts, with only dozens of actual demons acting as their superior. Druid Oz couldn’t help but feel that those attacks are just decoys.

(We can’t keep on defending…) (Druid Oz)

As Druid Oz continues to contemplate what action should he take, the amount of information he had is still not enough to choose an accurate option.

“*Sigh!* I’m stuck, should I discuss this with the prime minister? Hm?” Druid Oz suddenly realizes there is a pair of round eyes staring at him at the opposite side of his sit.

“C-Charnia!? Since when did you enter?” Asked Druid Oz, surprised, as he didn’t sense her presence at all.

“It’s been about 10 or 20 minutes before. Ren is so absorbed in staring at the map so I didn’t want to bother. And since Ren’s face when he’s deep in thought is interesting, I couldn’t help but keep on staring,” said Charnia as her round eyes continue to gaze at Druid Oz.

“I-I didn’t sense you at all… Seems like I got too absorbed in my thoughts, huh…” Muttered Druid Oz as he about to slightly massage his forehead.

But before he could touch his forehead, a warm and smooth hand suddenly touched it and started to massage his forehead. Together with a faint fragrance of orchid that suddenly entered his nostrils, the familiar white-haired girl entered Druid Oz’s view as he shifted his gaze above.

“That was surprising, Claria…” said Druid Oz as he stared at his fiance.

“Ren… I’m happy that you’re trying your best to ensure the safety of this kingdom… But please don’t overdo it…” said Claria with full of concern as she continues to massage Druid Oz’s head.

As if Claria’s warmth got conveyed directly to his heart, Druid Oz could feel his head and his heart got warmer as the tension he’s keeping inside his body is starting to relieve itself.

“I’ll take on your advice…” Replied Druid Oz.

“Stop!!!!!” Charnia suddenly jumped towards Druid Oz.

“C-Charnia?” (Druid Oz)

“C-Charnia!? What are you doing!?” Scolded Claria.

“From now on, I forbid sister from touching Ren!!” Charnia suddenly said an unexpected thing with a pout.

“E-Eh? Why?” (Claria)

“You’ve been getting too close with Ren these days! And I’m the one who met Ren first and I’m the one who invited him to this kingdom, you know! Even though you imprison him the first time you met him, why did you be the one who gets to marry Ren!?!?” Charnia shouted her protests.

“E-Eh…?” Druid Oz took a longer time to process Charnia’s words.

“Fufufufu!” Claria let out a laugh that was similar to her mother’s as she holds my arm.

“It’s all because I’m older than you, Charnia. If you’re old enough, you might be the one who will marry Ren first. Wait when you’ll older, and you may become Ren’s second wife,” Claria suddenly decided Druid Oz’s second wife without his consent.

“Ugh…” Charnia’s face got red in anger. Looking at Charnia’s face, Druid Oz pats her head.

“Let’s take a walk outside, shall we? I’m thinking of having a stroll to refresh my brain,” Druid Oz proposed the idea that crossed his mind to stop Charnia’s anger.

“We never take a stroll together with the baby cubs yet before, aren’t we? Let’s show the baby cubs the capital city,” (Druid Oz)

Hearing Druid Oz’s invitation, Charnia’s expression changed in a split second.

“Yes!” Answered her cheerfully.

“Let’s go then,” (Druid Oz)

Bringing the baby cubs, Druid Oz, Charnia, and Claria walked together in the capital city. Druid Oz alone is already stand out enough to invite the attraction of the surroundings, adding Claria and Charnia holding both of his arms, and the baby cubs following them, they completely draw everyone’s attention.

“Is that the rumored fiance of the princess?”

“Ah~ How lovely those baby cubs are~”

“So that’s Ren Arken, huh…”

“A-All of those magic beast cubs are his familiars?”

“Good afternoon, Princess Claria! Princess Charnia! Lord Ren!”

“Good afternoon, general princess!”

“Good afternoon, general princess’s fiance!”

Everyone’s attention is drawn to them. A mighty foreign emperor, walking with two princesses on each side, and tens of cute magic beast cubs walking together with them, the sight felt like an image from a painting.

Everyone greets Druid Oz, Charnia, and Claria. Some of the people pet the magic beast cubs and give them food, and some sent their good wishes towards Druid Oz and Claria, hoping they will give the kingdom a mighty successor.

Druid Oz, Charnia, and Claria kindly answer and reply to their greetings. While at the same time, the Galhala Queen and the Galhala King watched the scene from the top of the royal palace.

With their sharp eyes, they stared at their daughters walking together with Druid Oz and the magic beast cubs.

“The sight sure felt like a painting, that Ren. His existence truly felt like a miracle…” Muttered the Galhala king.

“That’s unusual for you to say such poetic words, dear,” (Galhala Queen)

“S-Shut it…” (Galhala King)

“But indeed… Looking at them warmth my heart… It made me look forward to their future…” Muttered the Galhala Queen as tears started to appear at the corner of her eyes. Looking at her daughters smiling joyfully together with the citizens made her about to cry in joy.

“True… It made me feel glad for surviving until now… If Allemore saw this, he must be making a flood of tears because of Claria’s and Charnia’s smiles, but he will be biting his sleeves in anger because of the sight of them holding Ren’s arms,” said the Galhala King with a small laugh as he imagined the figure of his old friend.

“Fufufu. That’s true. This peace… I hope-” (The Galhala Queen)

“Something’s wrong,” The Galhala King suddenly cut the Galhala Queen’s words.

“W-What happened, dear?” (The Galhala Queen)

“Ren’s complexion changed. He sensed something,” (Galhala King)

The Galhala Queen focused her eyes and saw that Druid Oz is closing his eyes, and the magic cubs are roaring and howling to the west side of the kingdom.

!!??

The eyes of Druid Oz, the Galhala King, and Queen met.

The Galhala king and queen are surprised at how Druid Oz could sense them, but they’re more focused on what he’s about to say.

“Enemies. Danger,” (Druid Oz)
