Chapter 630 Cry Of Ants

"Then, why don't you become friends with Gem?" asked Angus.

Since Angus knows Gemini is unpredictable and dangerous like Mira, he hopes Anna could befriend them like Mira case. Hence, Gemini may not get hostile with Anna.

"Huh?! Silly Angus. Anna already has Mira. Why should Anna make friends with Gem? Stupid Angus." replied Anna while shaking her head.

"Um.. Um.. Stupid Angus." replied the twin Gem simultaneously.

Even the silent Mira shakes her head as if Angus is saying something dumb. On the other hand, the other people are speechless at their reaction. Angus didn't mind the girls' mocking reaction but became more confused.

'Isn't it just a friend?! Why can't you make more? Wait… Is friendship a sort of contractual relationship for them?! Or…. they are just messing with me.' thought Angus as he noticed Anna's mischievous smile.

Noticing Angus is glaring at Anna, the little troublemaker immediately looks the other way while pretending to make a whistle without sound.

'This girl is really comical.' thought Angus while sighing.

"Anyway, since this matter is clear. Let's clean up this mess first. This kind of incident has already alarmed too many people. Lia, I leave them to you while I calm the others." said King Leon.

"*Sigh* Fine. Just go already." replied Aunt Extalia.

"Alright. Gem, let's go." called King Leon.

Unexpectedly, the twin girls follow King Leon and sit on both of his shoulders.

"Bye Bye Gem." said Anna while waving her hand.

The twin girls wave their hands back without changing their creepy smiles before disappearing along with King Leon. Angus and Jayna somehow feel like Anna is having a friend play over at their house but at a more ridiculous scale.

'Perhaps, for them, they are just playing around.' thought the couple.

"Alright, now let's wake everyone. Jayna, it seems you need to stay somewhere else first. If you don't mind…" said Aunt Extalia.

"Angus." called Jayna.

"Sure. It's not like it's your first time staying in my bedroom." replied Angus bluntly.

Hearing this, Jayna is blushing in embarrassment. On the other hand, Aunt Extalia could only shake her head and decide to let the young couple be. At first, she wants to offer her estate to Jayna, but she remembers Anna and Mira may also stay with her.

She didn't want her mansion somehow turning into a pile of rubble like this place. Hence, she decides to let Jayna stay at Angus' mansion.

Although it is improper for an unmarried princess to stay and sleep under one roof with her male peer, Aunt Extalia also knows how much they love each other.

Moreover, she is not in a position to lecture them about this matter since she is also sleeping and even spends more time at King Leon's Royal Chamber than at her own estate.

While waking up the unconscious people and ordering them, "Brat, I hear you get called tomorrow." said Aunt Extalia.

"Ohh… You know about it." replied Angus nonchalantly.

"Of course. Don't underestimate our intelligence network. I also know you create some commotion before coming here." said Aunt Extalia.

"Well, they are starting to get annoying. So, I decided to show off a little bit. Besides, I am also responsible for our new security system. It is a good time to experience one of the most secure places in the capital city. I doubt Count Flamewaver will mind it."

"Otebon?! Hmm… I suggest you not mess too much with him." replied Aunt Extalia.

"Hm?" Inquired Angus.

"You should ask your father or Jade about this. It is quite a sensitive topic. Anyway, do you need help with tomorrow? Although we decided to leave this matter to the younger generation, I still think you should get a little help for fairness." said Aunt Extalia.

"Don't worry, I will handle all of it by myself. I don't plan to comply with them from the start." said Angus solemnly.

"*Sigh* Fine. Just don't kill or leave a permanent injury to the princes. For the others, do it as discreetly as possible." warned Aunt Extalia.

"Sure." replied Angus casually.

During this time, Jayna approaches Angus with worry.

"Angus, is it about that letter?" asked Jayna worriedly.

"Yeah. I didn't expect they would move so quickly just after we returned to the capital city." replied Angus.

"Letter?" asked the Duchess in confusion.

"The day before we return from the Windshire Fortress, I get a summons order from the military court. They want some justification for Crown Prince Eric during our trip. They also expect me to be here in one week or will be labeled as a fugitive." said Angus.

"Wait… How come I didn't hear anything about this during that time?" said the Duchess.

"At that time, you are too busy and they deliberately hide this matter from you. They expect me to come to you to help me. I don't know if they have other plans with you, but I decided to make the most logical move." said Angus.

"Hm?" replied Aunt Extalia.

"Ignoring the cry of ants." added Angus with a ferocious smile.

Everyone knows it takes a week to go from the border to the capital city. They must use a teleportation device strictly used by the Duke/Duchess and King Leon to arrive at the capital city on time.

Although Angus could get permission to use the teleportation device with the Duchess's help, she couldn't follow along since she needed to lead the convoy.

Suppose Angus arrives at the capital city earlier. In that case, he will be in the court with a witness from the Duchess or the knights from the Nirvas embassy. He will be facing all the others' plans defenselessly.

Although there is still King Leon, he doubts the stoic King will interfere with this matter since it is also related to his spoiled kid. Actually, Angus could quickly solve this problem by showing his strength like now.

However, he must also leave Jayna and Anna while waiting alone in the capital city. He also didn't feel like getting called for no actual reason by others.

'Right. The calm and playful Angus will also get annoyed if he keeps getting annoyed by those people. Well, I hope he didn't lose his temper tomorrow.' thought Aunt Extalia inwardly.

The Duchess knows Angus is a bright and calm person. However, when it comes to Jayna and Anna, he will lose his calm and turn into a dangerous beast.

"Alright, I will also come tomorrow," said Aunt Extalia.

"Just do whatever you want." said Angus before walking away.

Leaving the piles of rubbles, Angus and the others decide to rest at the Victory Mansion and let the others clean up. Seeing that the whole Royal Princess Palace is destroyed, Angus strokes his forehead at how much everything is needed to pay.

​ When he made a hole in the Royal Palace wall last time, he needed to spend at least one million gold for the reconstruction. Now, the whole Royal Princess Palace is destroyed. He knows the cost will be more.

Fortunately, he also piled up a lot of monster parts in his inventory system. On the way to the capital city, Angus used most of his time to refine Chi and use a manual battle system.

The trip from the Nirvas gave him a lot of impressions and a view of this world's top powerhouse. He feels an urgency to increase his power to have a peaceful life with his beloved ones.

A royal carriage was already waiting for them outside the ruined Royal Princess Palace, along with the old butler Darius nearby.

"Uncle Darius, long time no see." greeted Jayna.

"It's good to see you too, My Lady. The carriage is ready to use anytime." replied Darius with a polite bow.

"Always prepare everything as usual. Did all the head butlers have a prediction ability or something?" chimed Angus from the side.

"This old one is just doing his job, Baron Victory. Here is some candy and snacks for young lady Anna." replied Darius while giving Angus a pouch space storage.

"Meat?! Is there meat there?" asked Anna excitedly from the side.

"It has everything you need, young lady Anna." Darius warmly replied.

"Yay.. Yay…" said Anna while snatching the pouch.

Suddenly, a red-colored magic diagram appeared beside them. *Swish* A familiar black-haired woman appeared from the blood-red magic circle with a rough breath.

"Huft.. Huft… I am sorry for my lateness, My Lady." Lenora hurriedly approached Mira.

Mira didn't respond and only looked at Darius before looking back at the exhausted Lenora while shaking her head. Unlike Darren, who could travel the world easily, Lenora needed much time and effort before arriving at Mira's location.

In fact, Darren is one of the best space elemental users in the world. Even Mira is only capable of using space elements as well as Darren with making a lot of effort. However, her over convenient flying pillow will bring her anywhere she wants.

This is also one of the primary reasons she loves her flying pillow. She didn't need to walk or move along. All she needs to do is just lay on top of it. (A.N: Truly number one artifact).

Seeing Mira gesture, "I believe you must be Master Mira's aide. Master Mira, would you mind if I give some tips to your lovely aide?" said Darius.

Mira didn't reply and gave a silent nod to Darius.

"Eh?" replied Lenora in confusion.
