Garth hearing the young sounding voice was shocked since he expected that anyone with such power would definitely be an elderly one but the King turned out to be a young man. This brought great shock to him but Garth quickly realized himself, it was common knowledge that some of the most powerful beings always turn out to be immortal. His great grandfather had served the Queen and he was now serving her but she hadn't changing in appearance even once.
Garth expected the same from this king. Realizing this truth, Garth nodded and gave even more respect to the king who ruled over Faes. Not that the king's truly mattered since said king was powerful enough to rule over a being that is suspected to be a Fae, whether young or old, power was power.
"Thank you, Your Majesty" Garth replied as the guard in question walked towards them and after a last bow, they left the throne room.
The Diplomats immediately heaved a sigh of relief since the King seemed to be a reasonable man. More than half their work was based on the personality of the person they were dealing with and if this king had been an unreasonable man, then their work was cut out for them.
They soon met up with the other Knights who were waiting and soon they were on their way to the location where they would spend the night. The guard led them to a large building that looked more like a palace than an inn for them to sleep, Garth didn't know if this was what the diplomats normally enjoyed since he was a Queen's Guard and spent most of his time sleeping outdoors if on a mission.
However, the looks on their faces said otherwise, the diplomats looked at the building with the same expression as the rest of the knights which meant that the building was either grander than what they were accustomed to or that they had never being offered a special building for them to stay in.
The Guard handed them over to another unknown creature who seemed to be in charge of the place, the creature each gave them a key and the helpers who were dressed in weird but very neat clothes directed them to the rooms that corresponded with their keys. The Knights and Diplomats happily settled into the extremely luxurious rooms however they still didn't drop their guards since they knew they were in another's territory not theirs.
...…
As the guard led the Diplomats out of the throne room, Kingsley turned away to look at Viktor and the others to see how he did. He saw them nodding in approval so he smiled and relaxed into his throne, he recently became a king and had no one to base his act on. Everything he did was just based on the small idea he had of what a king should be, hence why they were here to help him.
"Being a king is weird" Kingsley said as he looked up to the ceiling of his throne room
"And i just realized that we have no means of getting across the territory without walking or taking the train" He thought to himself
Two weeks had passed since the establishment of the Deus Council and they have been doing their job incredibly well but Kingsley had underestimated how long it took for the new systems to be set up. Things like the establishment of the police force took much longer than required because most felt it unnecessary and not many people joined it.
As for the Undead valley that is to be attacked, they have been gathering their forces for some unknown reason. Kingsley could guess that they plan to attack the forest or this Euroa kingdom which the Elves came from. Their appearance also confirms it but the information he was getting from their minds was way different.
"It seems this Queen Euroa could be a sister of yours… they believe she is a Fae but arent too sure" Kingsley said while looking at the Fae sisters
"Your majesty, wouldn't this alliance spoil your plans to find your family" Ethan asked
"No, not really but it will spoil my plans of conquering this region but i can help them defend the forest against the Undead, i was already doing it so why not"
"That would mean that we should also prepare the army to face this Euroa Queendom?" Athena asked
"No, we would be against an alliance of four races, them, Dwarves, high Orcs and finally Gnomes... but it honestly makes no difference though i will like to resolve this as peacefully as possible"
"Your majesty, I doubt any one would take it easy when they know someone is about to conquer their land or territory" Viktor said
"That's why I said as peacefully as possible… as Athena, the army will march tomorrow, I feel like the system is coming up with some sort of Event"
"As you wish, my lord"
"This Aenon Alliance will surely take about a month to gather their forces together… i don't have that time"
Kingsley may not know much about this Euroa kingdom but he did know it didn't have the arrangements of a modern army that made it possible for them to be deployed on a moment's notice.
This was also an alliance so a lot of months would be wasted before all of them could gather so Kingsley just planned to start his attack tomorrow and when he takes the Undead valley, he could then make the alliance surrender.
His territory expanded outwards in a circular manner and would soon engulf this Euroa Queendom… he didn't know when but he knew it surely will and when it did. He had nothing against the alliance but it was just how things were, when his territory engulfs them. it would be impossible for him to allow them exist on their own when they are within his territory so to save everyone's time, it was better this way.
He could also just wait till whenever his territory engulfs them to begin to act but that seemed like a lazy thing to do and there was also the fact that he had a feeling that his territory would massively increase in size if he captures the Undead valley. if it did so, there was a chance, he could cover the entire Aenon forest so he needed to start acting now.
"My lord, we still have the problem of transport within the capital" Viktor said
"That is true" Kingsley said
He had witnessed as the guards trekked from the gates to the castle… well they had utilized the trains but it didn't remove the fact that they had to trek. It didn't speak well of them but all the horse breeds they had were either too dangerous or just not suitable for transport related things.
Well, they technically were suitable for such activities after all they were horses aka beasts of burden but the breeds available here were not normal, the Pegasi could fly and it was a natural instinct for them so they would definitely go against his rule of no flight in the capital.
The Horses found in the Demon realm were restricted for military uses only and the ones in the Fae realm were more demonstration horses than beasts of burden. The horses in the Heavenly realm built for the Archangels were just that heavenly horses and were also restricted for military use.
He could also introduce cars into this world but he felt that that was a bit too much, if a car appeared here then he wasn't giving the people the chance to develop themselves anymore, the trains were created only because of necessity.
"Or I could just restrict carriage usage to Official personnel only, that will reduce the number of carriages in the territory" Kingsley thought to himself.
"You guys should have an abundance of demon horses in your ream, we can use that and ask the engineers to create a carriage those guys have being in school since it was constructed" Kingsley said to Viktor
"I will do so immediately" Viktor replied
"And as for the carriages, if possible, i want them to only be of use by official personnel... civilian usage isn't allowed unless absolutely necessary" Kingsley ordered
"As you wish, your majesty" Viktor replied then immediately left
"Also, Luna, honey always introduce yourself… those people had no idea who you are" Kingsley said to the fae who was floating cheerfully with her sister
The only reason, he had only sent her more as a sign of respect to them but mostly because there was actually no one he could have sent that would have received them hospitably. The soldiers were well… soldiers and though polite, didn't give a shit about anyone, he just didn't have anyone trained for such a duty or anyone nice enough for it so he sent only of the only two innocent being in the territory.
