"We'll carry out that plan later... for now... Let's teach those shameless customers a lesson... Nāgāntaka, go call all the officials, said it's an urgent matter, said it's a call from me"
"No need, Your Majesty, we are all already here"
Sir Axel said, and behind him were several people lined up, some of whom Taufik already knew while others Taufik had never met before, perhaps they were those who Gaia had said were "not in the Kingdom" before.
"Sir Axel, You guys are very quick to pick up on things, well let's move to a more appropriate place for discussion"
With that, Taufik and the others went to the throne room. On the way, several people who Taufik didn't know introduced themselves to Taufik; they were merchants belonging to the Kingdom, who were assigned to sell food outside the Kingdom and only returned today. One more thing that is abundant in this Kingdom apart from advanced technology is that food is also abundant due to the impact of their advanced technology, so to utilize the excess food, merchants are sent to trade these foods.
It was proven that this was very beneficial to the Kingdom, hearing this, Taufik was a little happy but also felt that this situation was worse than he thought because, because the same as the group of envoys, these merchants also used the same ship, which meant that news of their advanced technology had spread everywhere, and it was only a matter of time until it spread throughout the world, Taufik did admit that the people in this Kingdom were talented people, but they failed to assess the technological aspects they had, which were technology from the future and also mixed with fantasy technology, one person to blame for all of this was none other than Lembuswana, the culprit of all this, who spread all knowledge about the future to the people in this Kingdom.
"... Stupid Lembu"
"What?"
---------------
In a room that cannot be described with any other word than magnificent, Taufik sat on a throne, in front of him were two rows of chairs facing each other, and the chairs were filled with not only humans but also non-humans.
Seeing the non-humans, Taufik thought of something. When they walked here earlier, Taufik didn't realize it because they were wearing the same disguise ring as Giselle's, but when they entered the Throne room they all took off their disguises.
Farak, as the representative of the Dwarf Race, and what made Taufik quite surprised was Cessie; she is the representative of the Elf race and is also Giselle's sister. Actually, the representative is Giselle, but because now she can't attend, Cassie replaces her sister's position as the representative.
Apart from these two races, there are other races, such as half-human-half-animals. They are those who got lost on Earth because they passed through a Crack that appeared in their world and could not return to their world again because the Crack was closed by Gaia.
'... Wait! Could it be that the reason why Thalia never encountered a single Non-human being while she was traveling around the world was because of me? Because I found this Kingdom? Is this some kind of time paradox? But doesn't something like a "paradox" not have an effect on me? Ais~ There's no end to it if I think about it... but it's possible, right?'
"...
*Ukhum!*
All of you probably know what the situation is, but let me make it clear again, Some of our friends are being held hostage by other Kingdoms because they are eyeing our Kingdom's technology and knowledge, right now they probably already know the location of our Kingdom, so sooner or later our Kingdom will definitely receive an attack, I can confidently say that I can defend this Kingdom, especially with the help of Nāgāntaka and Lembu, it is an easy thing, but that is only a short-term solution...
Taufik paused for a moment to observe their expressions, and as expected, they still looked calm and no one made a sound, as if they had anticipated a situation like this, so Taufik continued what he wanted to say.
... If the other Kingdoms know the power we have, we will only be a threat to them... That is a situation that I want to avoid because the worst-case scenario is that the whole world will consider the existence of our Kingdom as a threat, and what will happen after that I am afraid to even imagine it, I do have a solution for this, but I want to hear your opinions first, if you guys have some kind of solution in your head, voice it, if it is better than the solution I have, then we will do that, so speak up if you have any suggestions!"
Taufik asked, and then a woman raised her hand.
"... Briel, isn't it? Speak, What is your suggestion?"
"Your Majesty, why don't we just face them? I'm sure with the power we have, we can easily face them"
"Are you stupid, Briel? Don't you hear what His Majesty just said?" Farak's comments on Briel's suggestion
"What? Stupid? Do you want me to burn your beard, Farak?"
"You can try if you want, you old hag!"
"WHAT!?? Y-YOU! I'LL END YOU HERE"
Briel said angrily, and a fireball appeared in her palm.
Seeing this, the others could only laugh awkwardly, as did Sir Axel who could only sigh while stroking his face.
"... You two, can you stop flirting here? Are you both aware that you are both in front of His Majesty?"
"WHAT? WHO FLIRTING?" x2
Said Farak and Briel at the same time.
"
*Sigh*
I'm Sorry, Your Majesty, They both always do this, please understand"
Sir Axel said to Taufik.
"Ahahaha~ it's okay... What about you, Sir Axel? Do you have any suggestions?"
"I will only follow your wishes, Your Majesty, and I am sure those here also agree with me, so we will listen to your plans, Your Majesty"
"Is that true?
Taufik asked while looking at everyone in the Throne Room, and in response to Taufik's question, they all nodded their heads simultaneously.
"... well~ It was a very quick decision making; if you want to follow my plan, then I have no other choice; my plan has its pros and cons; maybe from your perspective, there will be a lot of cons, so listen first before you agree, okay?"
"Then, Please, Your Majesty"
"... Alright~ First of all, I'll tell you all a confession about Gaia... After all, if you guys want to follow my plan, We need Gaia power"
"Her Majesty Power, Your Majesty?"
Sir Axel asked; during his stay on this island until now, he never knew that Gaia had powers, so hearing what Taufik said, not only him but everyone in the Throne Room also looked confused.
"Yes. Are you guys familiar with the term "Goddess"? You can say that Gaia is an Existence similar to that, Or rather, she is the goddess of Earth"
"..." S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"..."
What greeted Taufik after he said that was only silence.
"Huh? The reaction you guys gave was not what I expected"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we all know that Her Majesty The Queen's beauty is indeed can compared to that of Goddess and we all know that you also think the same, but saying that she was a real Goddess is a little bit, you know, exaggerate?" Said Briel.
"Fufu~ But The Queen is Indeed looking like a Goddess, And her treatment of us is indeed worthy of being called a Goddess, I can agree with that"
"Cassie, Briel, you are being rude to His Highness"
Denish reprimands his wife and Briel. Your next chapter awaits on m v|l--NovelFire.net
"What? You guys don't believe me? Gaia was Indeed a Goddess; I won't joke in a situation like this; she only lost her powers temporarily due to sealing the earth from External Threats; that's why the cracks didn't appear on the earth again; that's because of Gaia's efforts to protect the earth five years ago"
"..."
"..."
As before, this time after Taufik said that what greeted him was silence again, but this time it was not because of confusion but because of surprise.
"... Your Majesty, if you can, we like to hear that story first, before we get to the plan, I'm pretty sure the others won't be able to calm down if they don't hear the full story after you dropped such a shocking fact, Your Majesty, so, if you don't mind, we'd like to hear that part of the story first"
Said Sir Axel, who once again represented everyone's voice with how they all nodded their heads after Sir Axel's words.
"I don't mind telling it, but it's not something pleasant to hear"
"We don't mind it, Your Majesty"
"It's so? Then...
After that, Taufik told the story of an incident that happened five years ago. Taufik did not talk about his origins; he only said that he was on a journey to look for his father until an incident like this and that happened.
While Taufik was telling the story, the higher-ups in the Throne Room showed significant changes in expression, but mostly they felt a sense of horror, but they were finally able to find out the truth behind the sudden disappearance of the Crack.
