Chapter 176: Here, a Souvenir

The crowd entered a panic state as they grew restless. Heaven's Dawn was a kingdom that said to be comparable to the size of a dynasty, their arsenal was humongous compared to Nostria.

(I knew it) thought Lyon seeing the panic crowd. This was a rather huge event and news, it would impact so many subjects that one couldn't count.

With a cough, Lyon said, "No need to panic, I believe we have a fair chance to win the war."

The people started to calm down as they heard what he said. This man was currently the sole pillar that made the kingdom to what it was today.

"Prior to this, I sent a letter to Luderia to send help with the war so everything is going to be fine," said Lyon with a smile. This was probably the best thing to reassure their fate.

Fei and Sylvianna looked at him with a surprised look in their eyes. They couldn't believe that a kingdom as big as Luderia would send help to a little kingdom like Nostria. One thing was there was no merit or something to be gain in helping Nostria against Heaven's Dawn.

Sylvianna tugged his clothes as she whispered, "Hey, are you sure Luderia would help?"

"Don't worry, they will, if not, I will personally smack their princess's butt," said Lyon softly.

The queen had black lines over her head, "Can you not be so vulgar?!"

Lyon didn't pay any heed to her berated words and faced the people, "Well, that's all, just resume what you were doing guys!"

With that, Lyon turned back and gracefully left the scene. However, people were still wondering if Luderia would really send the help requested.

---------------------------

"Hey Lyon, is it really true? Would they really help us?" asked the queen agitatedly.

Lyon nodded, "En, I think so."

Contrary to the queen's disbelief expression, her personal maid had a gleeful smile as she asked, "Lyon, what did you do in Luderia this time?"

"Well, I flirted with the two princesses there," said Lyon with a smile as he closed his eyes while rubbing his chin.

"You mean you are flirting around with princess Aelina and princess Chloe?!" exclaimed Sylvianna.

"Oh, you know them?"

"Know them?! Which one person alive in Deo that didn't know about them?!"

Apparently, Aelina and Chloe were more famous than Lyon imagined they would be. In fact, Chloe, in particular, was said to be Deo's daughter. Meaning that she was the pride and joy of this world, one of those that would spread her wings to the sky.

"Really now? Then you wouldn't like what I did in Luderia."

"What? What did you do?"

"Follow me," said Lyon with a smirk as he walked toward the corridor.

At this time of day, the training ground was actually quiet with no people to be seen. Lyon was walking across the field before stopping in the middle and turned around. Facing the two women, Lyon raised his hand.

(What is he, planning?) thought Sylvianna as she observed the young man in front of him.

"I brought a little souvenir for you," said Lyon as the wind suddenly changed its course.

Both women had their hair fluttered against the strong wind as Sylvianna couldn't help but covered her eyes while taking a peek through her fingers. The explosion sound from the white clouds above made the people in Nostria looked up before the notion of the storm came into their mind.

"Ravel to the thunder," Lyon's voice was soft yet both women could hear it clearly. Fei couldn't help but opened her eyes wide at the infamous line.

"Gungnir."

*boom

The white clouds instantly turned black as wild lightning surrounded their beings. However, the most menacing thing was the black spear that appeared out of nowhere in front of Lyon. Its divinity was exuding as people would kneel in its presence.

"LYON! Is that what I think it is?!" asked Fei as she lost her calm composure.

She knew what the weapon was. The black spear that could penetrate a mountain, the historical weapon that was said to be the core of Luderia's strength.

"Yes, it is, it is 'the' Gungnir," said Lyon as he casually swung the black spear before leaving black sparks in the afterimage.

"But how, how can you possibly possess that?" asked Fei.

"Well, a lot of things happen in Luderia,"

"Wait, Luderia is still in the process of picking the next ruler right? If you have the Gungnir then..."

"What the fuck?! You are the new ruler?!" shouted Sylvianna in disbelief. Who would have thought that a simple desire to flirt with the princess would let him become the new ruler? How impossible could a guy get?

He went to the Phantera Kingdom and revived their queen, now he went to Luderia and suddenly became their ruler. One would never guess what Lyon will become if he sets on a journey to travel the other neighboring worlds.

"Well, technically yes."

"But that's impossible! You are not even one of the candidates!" said Sylvianna.

"That's true, but the election is not as complicated as you think."

"What do you mean?"

"The one that will rule Luderia is the one that manages to conquer Gungnir, it is a law passed down by the royal family. But don't tell anyone!"

Sylvianna gulped her saliva as she never thought he would be the next successor. However, his next line sent her fright.

"This is my souvenir to you," said Lyon as he casually threw the black spear toward Sylvianna.

(Souvenir?! You thought this as a mere souvenir?!) thought Sylvianna as she carefully caught the black spear.

Lyon picked his ear as he closed his eyes, "Well, that weapon is probably more suitable to you given your personality, but maybe it would be a bit hard for-"

*spark

Lyon opened his eyes toward the sound before his mouth twitched at the sight. (I knew it would but damn, this is something else, my queen).
