The red kingdom.
South of sumaka.
Lucien was sitting on his throne with a little interest this time. He seemed well and attentive as he was listening to the plead of his people.
An old man and a young lady was In front of lucien as they were asking for an aid.
The old man with his white hairs and wrinkles of age folded his hands together and pleaded for help saying, "my lord,my king my name is Vince and she is suyan".
The young lady bowed slightly and looked at the king with her blue eyes and long brown hair.
Lucien nodded and acknowledged both and said "what are you here for?"
The old Vince replied "My king, I am from city of juharen, that city is known for it's poverty and villages, it's not a city that is known highly of, you must have not even heard it. It is known for it's workers and farmers which are used to hire for work creating structures and castles all around the south. We may not earn very much but atleast we live peacefully and manage food properly so we can live atleast a life that is fulfilling for us".
Lucien's expression dropped slightly as he looked at the old Vince explaining the situation.
The old man Vince explained further without stopping "the thing is, there is a warrior named "Mashran" who is currently wrecking havoc in cities after cities. His reputation is something to be feared of, he has destroyed many cities over the outer side of south and is currently coming towards our city of juharen".
Lucien nodded and replied, "I see. So, You are getting frightened of him and Rightfully so that he may destroy your city, don't worry we won't let him".
Lucien stood up immediately and looked at the sanguine wardens on his right and smiled and said, "you wanted to prove yourself to the south Right?"
Young ashton's eyes brightened up slightly and said ,"yes" excitedly.
Lucien also smiled and said "then this is your chance to prove yourself ashton".
The wisdom eyed Sam who was sitting besides Ashton creased his eyebrows slightly looking clearly tensed.
Lucien saw that and said immediately "don't worry ashton, I will obviously send vishkron or lasken with you".
Since Renly and Lancelot was still on their journey to market of wizpuri, so lucien obviously had to send a strong warden with young ashton to take care of the situation,if things may escalate.
Seeing that sam smiled and looked relaxed.
Lucien also nodded towards sam and Muttered "do not worry, taking care of ashton is also my priority".
Sam nodded and said "of course, my king".
Young ashton on the other hand looked excited and teased lasken saying, "I may have to protect you, do not hold me back".
The handsome and tall lasken replied with a smile, "Give that so called destroyer a fair fight so he won't complain that red kingdom is too brutal".
Both of them looked at each other and smiled before setting their gaze towards the king lucien who was watching them.
They both said in unison "We will take care of it".
Suyan,The young lady with long brown hair and dark blue eyes who was standing besides the old man Vince suddenly interrupted and said "thank you so much, the kingdom of war is truly kind".
...
Lumaria kingdom.
South of sumaka.
Bhagdatta was sleeping in a small red house when he suddenly heard a faint sounded knock on the door.
He immediately grabbed his sword Rhameous and stood up.
The knock suddenly stopped and a soft voice came through the door, "it's me".
Bhagdatta relaxed for quite a bit and opened the door.
A young Man in his twenties appeared before bhagdatta saying, "king soran is quite angry with you my lord".
Bhagdatta closed the door after the young man entered the small red house.
Bhagdatta tilted his head and looked at him for a few seconds before replying, "how exactly are you here in south "adrian dray".
Adrian smiled and said "Seems like when you got burned, you also lost quite bit of your memories".
Bhagdatta narrowed his left eye looking confused, "what?"
"This is my duty to travel wherever I want, I can cross any borders I wish my lord", adrian smiled and said with his soft tone.
Bhagdatta covered his head with his right hand looking even more tensed and grunting painfully.
Adrian smirked in silence and said "Are you alright, my lord?"
Bhagdatta nodded and said, "I am better than before, thanks to the herbalists of this kingdom, but that bastard Lancelot had the audacity to use a celestial weapon on me".
Adrian looked towards bhagdatta and said "my lord, that could have been quite dangerous I believe but nothing can be more dangerous than our king soran getting angry".
Bhagdatta looked at him but didn't reply instead he tried to divert the topic, "what happened to the vashkrul tribe and that one eyed creature we sent?"
Adrian smirked sarcastically and said "the great Lancelot killed the one eyed creature and as for the vashkrul tribe, let's just say they are now more of a vanished tribe".
Bhagdatta grunted agressively as he sat back on the bed.
Adrian narrowed his eyes and smiled, "you won't let go of Lancelot like that right? He messed up so many of our plans. He is clearly an obstacle towards the greatness of west but I don't why our king is so obsessed with him?"
Bhagdatta tensed up looking even more aggressive than before.
Adrian smiled and said "maybe we should return back to Nero alphs and accept our defeat".
Bhagdatta immediately said "no! Never."
Adrian looked happy and said "then what is our next plan, my lord".
Bhagdatta said "tell me something, you didn't say anything here to people of lumaria about us being from west right? although they are impartial but still they pray to Lancelot like that bastard is some kind of a deity. So, it is highly possible that they will send a letter to him and corner us here".
Adrian bowed down and replied, "No my lord, of course not. I just said I am visiting because I got bit by a snake and they offered to help me obviously. People of south are more naive than I thought".
Bhagdatta sighed slightly and said "our next plan should be killing and destroying the red kingdom. We need something big and a distraction. I have heard there is a big ceremony in few days, we shall take this ceremony as an advantage for our next move".
Adrian smiled and said,
"Looks like you should be the next king of Nero alphs. Don't get me wrong, soran is forever be a king to be respected and feared but his obsession with Lancelot kind of makes him weak".
