Chapter 5: The Human Kingdom

Desmond saw his elder sister opening the door; Alice entered, holding an Ice Cream in her right hand with an annoyed expression on her face.

"Why did you bother to call me mother?"

Desmond then saw his mother wanted to open her mouth, but…

"As I said before, I will not get fat even if I eat a lot of ice cream!" Alice snapped while stomping her feet.

[....]

Even though she said that hence she started to turn around before stopping elegantly.

"See, which part looks fat? Tell me which part became fat?" She said while patting her chest and raised her head proudly.

As a result, all the people in the room became bewildered for a moment before they finally chuckled.

"Yes...Yes… Then yesterday, where did you go?"

Finally noticing her mother's seriousness, Alice lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, Mom, after eating a lot of Ice Cream, I... Become a bit sleepy."She tried to make her voice as small as possible, making her mother couldn't hear her.

"Ah, my little girl, come here." Unlike her mother, Bastian calls in his cute voice, putting Desmond in the bed and hugged Alice tightly. Bastian then raised Alice's body and started to spin around.

Feeling so dizzy, Alice couldn't stand anymore.

"Stop...Stop… Father…" She tried to shout; hence Bastian kept spinning her body around.

But Bastian suddenly stopped his action.

He felt chill around his nape and started turning around only to see Leona with her cold expression.

"Dear, Alice said stop; why didn't you stop?" Leona smiled like she was emitting a cold atmosphere around her that made the entire room suddenly feel cold.

Interesting…

Hmm, that's a spell??

"Yes, honey... And sorry for that, my child." Bastian apologized and backed away.

"Alice, if you do that again, then mommy won't give you permission to eat ice cream again!"

"Yes, mother." Lowering her head, Alice backed away, too scared about her mother's punishment.

I wonder if my elder sister's status is as bad as her behavior?

-Back Story Before The Kingdom Became Divided -

The Northern Kingdom is part of the human race; it's an Empire and a city famous for selling many elf slaves and being the kingdom that produced the most fish. Because of its location close to the sea and to the elves' territory, many people in the city find elves passed out beside the barrier and are made slaves for a high price at the auction.

Twenty years ago, the Human race only had one kingdom, namely the Imperial Empire. The human race broke the peace between races and started attacking the demon race first. The Imperial Empire controlled the entire territory because of the 'Hero' with the title 'Monster Killer Sieg.'

Because of Sieg's title, The king felt ashamed of his lack of power and achievement; people began to rebel and suggest that the king abdicate his throne. Unwillingly the king crowned Sieg as the king of humanity, and he disappeared from history.

Sieg then started killing every single demon and beast that entered the human domain. Almost all races were afraid of Sieg because his ranks were too terrible, 'A Guardian and an Arch-Mage.'

He was called a 'Prodigy Child' who had to reach Unique Energy 80.00 at a young age. Generally, after the incident of the dragon break, the energy in this saint's world decreases. So it will be hard to become an Arch-mage.

He was a one-person army, and if the enemy surrounds him, he starts to cast his spell (Lost Spell: Annihilation).

It is a spell that combines five main realm elements to create five flying daggers that surround the user. Each flying dagger represents each element of nature.

He ordered the dagger to start flapping towards the Demon Army.

And…

BOOM...

Five Natural Disasters came together, the ground would rise in the form of spikes; the sky would become cloudy it would start to pour out a lot of water, and 'The ethereal tree' suddenly pushes up from the ground in the form of a spike sucking up Demon Life every moment.

Dragon shaped fire descended and then began to blow up the Demon Army. That powerful spell killed a hundred people and demons, then after he ran out of unique energy, nevertheless, his sword-art were top leveled.

He became a killing machine; every time he moved his sword, countless heads flew through the air. When a giant demon came to destroy him, it only took one slash from his sword, blood spurted out of the demon's body.

His blade sliced open the massive Demon's body, the ground became shattered; he was like a deity of death in the eyes of his enemies.

Slash and Die!

Because of that, the demons lost all of their territories. Meanwhile, after occupying all the demon's territory. The king's greed grew, and he started aiming for the Elves.

After resting his army and recovering his strength before the war, Elves believed they could win because the enemy would come to them, and the territory was almost full of traps.

But after witnessing the effect of the spell, the Elves began to feel scared and informed their race to start chanting (Lost Spell: World of Tree).

The elf race also has many lost spells, but they were not as strong as the human race.

The ultimate spell of the elf race 'Life Drain' was lost because of their stubborn elder, who won't pass it to the younger generation, but the elder created a new powerful defensive lost spell, 'World of Tree.'

It took a whole month of chanting without a break (Lost Spell: World of Tree). Suddenly a large tree appeared in the elven territory, and on every Elf border territory, a transparent green barrier was slowly raising. King Sieg realized this and headed towards the elf territory with his army.

Sieg started chanting (Lost Spell: Annihilation) again and sent his dagger flying towards the barrier. Disaster loomed over, and smoke rose. After nearly an hour, the smoke cleared only to saw the barrier in good condition as if nothing had happened.

Sieg started to get angry and ordered his troops to simultaneously attack the barrier, but there was no effect. After several months of trying to break the barrier, he started to give up.

Sieg began a normal life while searching for as many wives as possible; no one could fight him because Sieg was the king of humanity. Some people were disappointed with his decision; some people were angry with him because he stole other people's wives with his power and money.

Many people began to make plans to overthrow the throne, but he ignored that because he was too arrogant.

Who cares what the ants do? He can crush them with one palm.

After five years of ruling, the people began to revolt; brave people started appearing like one person from the north declaring his new north king's name. Namely, Edward, while Albert was from the south when he heard this, he started sending his troops to kill the rebels but always failed.

Sieg began to be confused because he believed his soldiers had high morale with the experience of fighting many demons. He ordered his Minister to investigate, and the minister found out that the soldiers he had called to fight joined the rebels and became reinforcements for the rebels.

He became angry and announced the next day he would start killing the rebel soldiers alone; on the night of preparation, one of his wives came to his room. She is the most beautiful wife of Sieg's many wives, she started to comfort him until the morning the next day, shocking news stated:

"The King is Dead in His Chamber." Many people did not believe that the almighty king whom all races fear is dead now. The Minister announces that he will be investigating the king's death,

the news spread to the rebels, and they began planning to overthrow the throne.

Within a few days, the north and south had been occupied by rebels and joined a new kingdom. This news made the Minister angry with the rebels; at night, the Minister summoned the Master Wizard to use a spell (Advance Spell: Rewind); Wizard/Witch can only use it once per year.

The Wizard started chanting, and suddenly a mirror with a large o shape appeared in the center of the room and started showing the situation of the king's room before he died.

The Minister and the Wizard watched closely and found the king's most beautiful wife entered the room and killed the king in the middle of their comfort session.

The Minister's expression darkened, and he summoned the guards and ordered them to find the king's wives. Still, the Wizard suddenly stopped him, and he pointed at the mirror.

In the mirror, one of the king's most beautiful wives suddenly grows a horn on her head then a tail on her butt.

She looks in the mirror with a wicked smile before she cuts the mirror with her long nails.

The Minister and the Wizard became frightened and terrified because in the five years that the king ruled, the demon race was always calm and never started to rebel. This accident caused the Wizard and the Minister to shiver because a demon can use disguise spells to become a human.

The Minister spreads how the king died and announces a new advanced spell (Advance Spell: Reveal). This spell's function is to clear scents, a spell that acts on the body and hypnotizes the spell.

It scared the ordinary people because the devil could become a human, and it also was relieved at the same time that there was a spell to counteract it.

The Demon started to reclaim their territory after the human king died. Because the devil killed the king, the wives and the king's descendants were also killed by the devil so that the previous incident would not happen again.

The Minister immediately declared he would inherit the king's throne and start ruling to eliminate the panic among commoners and reduce the chaos in the northern and southern regions.
