Chapter 598 The Noble Party I

CLICK! The maid's door opened, and Arad walked inside, the king and queen behind him.

Tina walked out toward them, "Master Arad, how did it go?"

"Don't know," He replied, "The griffon ran away the moment it sensed me approaching, and I didn't think chasing it would help anyone."

"Yeah," King Baltos said, wiping the sweat off his forehead. "It's a wild monster. We can't waste time on it now." He looked around, "Are there any chairs we could sit on and rest a bit?"

"Yeah," The queen sighed, leaning on Baltos, her head spinning, "It was a rough trip,"

Tina blinked, looking at them for a second, "What happened to them?"

"I carried their carriage with the guards to here," He looked outside at the guards lying on the ground like dead fish, "They couldn't handle it,"

"Ah, that's it." Tina giggled, "Arad can be a bit rough sometimes."

"Get them a place to sit," Arad walked upstairs, and Tina led the king and queen to the guest room.

CLICK! She opened the door.

"DIE!" Jack swung his arm, throwing a card at Charlie.

Charlie dodged with a smile.

TACK! The card passed by the king's face, sticking to the door's frame. "You sack of horse radish," Charlie rushed forward, getting behind Jack and lifting him up. CRACK! Then suplexed him on the ground.

The queen looked at the card stuck at the door and then at her son, "Charlie, calm down." The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

King Baltos growled, "Charlie! You're getting in a fight?" He shouted, and both Charlie and Jack looked at him.

"Why didn't you wait for me?" He threw his mantle away and cracked his knuckles.

"What?" Jack gasped as he saw the King jump at him.

"BOY! Get the arm!"

"Yes! Father!"

Baltos grabbed Jack's right arm, and Charlie grabbed the left one.

"Does it seem like that?" Cain combed his beard.

PUFF! Lilia emerged above Cain in a puff of smoke, sitting on his shoulders, "You did!" She laughed.

"Get off his shoulders," Arad tried to snatch her, but she dodged his hands with ease.

"Let her be," Cain smiled, "She's light,"

Arad sighed, "Don't cry about your back later,"

"Can I cry about it now?" Cain asked.

"No," Arad replied.

"How sad."

"Are you Baron Arad?" A man approached him from between the guests.

"Excuse me for a moment," Arad left Cain and Lilia, heading to talk with the man and the other nobles.

The guests stared at them, it was a strange sight seeing the massive Arad towering over the other nobles. They might look to weigh the same but for different reasons.

As Arad expected, those nobles only talked about what Alina's lord had already spoken with him about. They want permission to create roads through Arad's territory, push trade, and define borders.

"I won't mind roads for trade, it's for the benefit of the people." Arad smiled, "But, I'm quite new and naive when it comes to other politics," He smiled, "So, may I call an adviser?"

"Of course, go ahead," The nobles replied with smiles.

"YO! Baltos, can you help me here a bit?" Arad called through the room, and everyone froze in place. You don't address the king like that and wasn't his presence here just a formal thing?

The king is obliged to attend the noble party of each noble that he approves. That usually takes the form of him showing up for a bit, declaring the person in question a noble, and then leaving immediately.

All the nobles who didn't know Arad beyond his name thought one thing, ^He's dead.^

Baltos glared toward them, "Arad, is something amiss?" He took a step forward, "If one of them is bothering you, we can skip the trial and go directly to the block. You have an axe here, right?" He remembered the last time a noble messed with Arad. That man ended up dead in seconds. He understood well that Arad wasn't a human. He couldn't hold him to human standards.

Baltos smiled inside. ^Arad is growing. He didn't kill them immediately.^

"Father," Charlie approached Baltos, "I saw a chopping block outside, it's perfect."

The nobles started shaking. It was clear from their voice. That the king and prince weren't joking.
