“So what’s left is to wait for your familiars to found a city or a place filled with people, huh…?” said Geeta as she stretch her arms and take out another snack from her spatial bag.

(Just how many snacks did she put inside that bag anyway?) (Druid Oz)

“Well, that’s right. There’s nothing left we could do. Since we’re going to need to standby here so that we’ll be ready in case of emergency, we can’t venture there ourselves, and we wouldn’t even know how many days will it take for the search to bear some fruits,” (Druid Oz)

“Well, that’s true, isn’t it~” (Geeta)

“How about sending my warriors to help on the search? It would fasten the progress if we do so,” (Claria)

“We can’t. Since you’re a very important figure of the kingdom, it would be bad to have you endanger your kingdom’s soldiers to help a person from a foreign country, wouldn’t it? Even if it’s someone that came from Ren’s empire that had helped the kingdom several times, it still won’t be good for the soldiers,” Answered Azaline as she shakes her head.

“Ah. How about sending Corvus? He’s strong and fast!” (Azaline)

“And what if that strong and fast Corvus got ambushed by several strong opponents and end up being infected?” (Druid Oz)

“Ah… It would be very troublesome if he got infected and entered the enemy’s rank indeed…” (Azaline)

“Corvus, you’re useless!” (Geeta)

“Eh…? How did it become my fault…?” (Corvus)

“But well, it’s not like we’re really out of options. They should be arriving in no time now,” said Druid Oz as he let out a small grin on his face as he stare at the mansion’s door.

“They?” (Claria)

Right after Claria’s question, sounds of knocks from the mansion’s door could be heard.

“Yes, them. Gor, let them in,” (Druid Oz)

Accepting Druid Oz’s command with a graceful bow, Gor approached the mansion’s door and opened it, revealing two Galhala kingdom’s royal guards and five hooded figures.

Gor made a posture, indicating that they should enter. The seven of them got startled a bit because of the figure of a gorilla butler, but not long after, they entered the mansion as they understood what Gor meant.

“Pardon our intrusion, lord Ren, general princess,” The two royal guards bowed.

“Yes, what do you need?” (Claria)

“These five elves stated that they are the escorts from the elf kingdom under the Tarot empire and that they’re ordered to meet you, lord Ren…”

“T-The five of you are-” (Azaline)

!?!?

The five elves opened their hoods as they kneels before Druid Oz and Azaline, revealing their long ears and beautiful looks.

“Your imperial majesty, the emperor. Your majesty, the queen. We’ve come per the order of the prime minister. We’ve sent to deliver you a message and to serve as your shield, sword, and messenger along your quest in this continent. I’m Aeson Ravatumal, the squad leader of the black ops tasked to stay with your shadows,” said the elf that seem to be the leader of the group.

“I see… So Reindell sent you here…” (Azaline)

“S-So they really are your guests, lord Ren! We’re troubled whether they are lying or not. There’s no one that has dared to lie of being your acquainted, but we’re still doubtful. But since they’re wearing unusual equipment, we decided to determine whether they are lying or not after letting you meet them!” said one of the royal guards nervously.

The two royal guards seem to be nervous as they’re facing the famous fiance of the general princess that had saved the kingdom and achieved numerous achievements in such a short time. And they’ve seen Druid Oz in action at the time the royal castle of the Galhala Kingdom got attacked by the self-proclaimed demon king before.

*Sigh!*

Claria let out a sigh because of the unprofessionalism the two royal guards of her kingdom are showing. As the general princess tasked to monitor the warriors of the kingdom, including the royal guards, she couldn’t help but compare the two royal guards and the five fine elven warriors from the Tarot empire before her.

“Yes, thanks for escorting them here, men. I’m grateful,” (Druid Oz)

“Y-Yes! Then we’ll be taking our leave, lord Ren! P-Please excuse us!” The royal guards bowed and left the mansion.

“So tell me, what’s the message Reindell asked you to deliver?” (Druid Oz)

“Yes, your imperial majesty. According to the prime minister, the prime minister and the emperor had come to an agreement to have our kingdom help to resolve the problems in the Eastaria continent and help the quest of the emperor and the queen,”

“With the permission of the emperor and the imperial prime minister, we’ve brought the elven soldiers to the Eastaria continent with the help of the imperial head mage, lord Gurolf. We’re building our base near the shore at the west, considering it’s not inside the territory of any country,”

“I see… So you came by teleportation,” (Druid Oz)

“Yes, your imperial majesty. The prime minister also told us to deliver you a message that he has prepared some soldiers for you and the queen to dispatch according to your will. Feel free to command them,”

“Eh? Really? As expected of Reindell…” (Azaline)

“As expected of Reindell, he’s very thoughtful. Then let’s not beat around the bush. How many soldiers are available, right now, Aeson?” (Druid Oz)

“30,000 royal soldiers of the third royal legion of the kingdom, the Nirvana legion, your imperial majesty. Your orders,” (Aeson)

“Yes, I need them to investigate the east side of the Eastaria continent. Search for a country that has a sign of living inside it. Does the jack of all trade’s reports entered Reindell’s hands as well?” (Druid Oz)

“Yes, your imperial majesty. They diligently report and update us with the situation in the Eastaria continent,” (Aeson)

“Good. Judging from your reaction, it seems that you heard about the information as well. Then do you knew concerning the demonic virus spread by the demons in this continent?” (Druid Oz)

“Yes, I’m aware, your imperial majesty,” (Aeson)

“That’s good. Then I’ll leave the investigation and strategy everything to you lots, this will be a good opportunity to see the Elvenheim kingdom’s military operation capabilities. I’m looking forward to your reports,” (Druid Oz)

“Don’t embarrass me, okay? Show Ren how great our elven kingdom is,” said Azaline as she tapped on Aeson’s shoulders.

“We will try our best to fulfill your expectations,” (Aeson)

And in the next moment, one of Aeson’s subordinates disappeared from in front of them and rushed to report the new information and orders from Druid Oz towards Reindell. His speed surprised Claria as it startled her how high the skill of Azaline’s elven kingdom’s black ops member is.

(He left without the squad’s leader’s orders. As if he could read the leader’s intention just by his silence alone, huh… So they’re an order that works especially in shadows, huh… But these elves came from the ) (Claria)

On one hand, Claria couldn’t help but feel jealous of the high spec black ops squad of Azaline’s kingdom. Since there is no such thing as a black ops secret order in the Galhala kingdom, they usually pick some royal guards to be their personal royal knights that handle some of their private affairs. But looking at how Azaline’s Elvenheim kingdom brought to have a formal secret order, she couldn’t help but get envy from comparing her personal royal guards and Aeson.

But on the other hand, Claria also got mesmerized by how Druid Oz looked like a real emperor in front of them. The majestic aura he’s emitting when he’s talking to them, and how the five of them seem to hold him in high esteem. It made her happy to know the man she fell in love with is a great man that is also admired by the people surrounding him and is a person that his subordinate looked up to.

It’s not uncommon for a subordinate to look unpleased and do their tasks with a look of discontent. But in Aeson and his subordinates’ case, Claria could feel how the five of them are eager to follow any kind of command Druid Oz gave them, and they’re having a look that seems to be saying that they’re going to use any means to fulfill the task Druid Oz gave them and will do their best to impress him.

“Dazzling, isn’t he?” (Azaline)

“Eh?” Claria that has been mesmerized by Druid Oz’s look got startled by Azaline’s words.

“Ren. When he changed into his emperor mode, he’s dazzling, isn’t he?” (Azaline)

“Yeah… Well, that’s true…” (Claria)

“That back, that shoulders… How many lives does it shouldering I wonder…” (Azaline)
