A royal emissary of Remaria had come to the northern region of the kingdom of Arfen to send an official letter from the kingdom of Remaria to Dominic Johan.
Diana is the lover of Dominic Johan and she is very happy to know that the woman who has been saved before is really related to an influential person even that person is very close to the royal family.
Diana immediately searches for Dominic in a village to inform him that the royal messenger Remaria has arrived back at the hiding place and Diana finally finds Dominic who is with Simas in the adventurer guild.
"Diana why are you here?" dominic asked when he saw Diana coming.
"Dominic we must return because the royal messenger of Remaria has come to see you." Said Diana who saw Dominic with some adventurers who were people from his group.
"That's good did the kingdom of Remaria give us a good gift?" Dominic asked while looking happy to hear it.
"I don't know because the messenger wanted to see you in person so I'm looking for you." Diana said.
"So I have to really go back but Simas and I and the others are going to run the quest because you know we don't really need money." Dominic replied because he and his adventurer group there had already taken the quest and then Simas spoke.
"Lord Dominic you go let us alone who will run the white wolf hunting mission, your business is much more important this quest." Said Simas who suggested it.
"But white wolves are hard enough to deal with, are you sure you can beat them?" Ask Dominic.
"Yes this will be a little difficult but we will definitely be able to complete this quest ourselves after all our people from other adventurer groups will also head north to track down and eradicate a group of orcs, we can work together to run two quests at once to hunt the white wolf and orc." Said Simas and the other adventurers there speaking.
"Truely Simas said our group is strong enough to help each other so that we can all survive the coming winter." Says another group of adventurers who also work for Dominic, they do help each other to raise money in order to meet the needs of their less fortunate friends and can not be adventurous and survive in hiding places.
Dominic finally went to meet the messenger from the kingdom of Remaria who was in herbal medicine by Resol.
"Look, Mr. Dominic has arrived." Resol and commander Paul, who is the royal messenger of Remaria, stood up and spoke to Dominic.
"Mr Dominic you're finally back I've been waiting for you from earlier." Commander Paul said.
"I'm sorry for taking too long to come back and there's a need for you to come see me?" Dominic.
"It doesn't matter Mr. Dominic I commander Paul has been ordered to send an invitation letter from his highness Prince Antonio to you, his Highness Prince Antonio wants to meet and reward you directly at the royal palace of Remaria." Commander Paul said as he handed Dominic a scroll of letters.
Dominic himself did not expect that Prince Antonio to invite him officially to the kingdom of Remaria.
"Ah. so I have to come directly to the royal palace of Remaria, but the distance between this place and the kingdom of Remaria is very far and it takes weeks to travel, he said, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill that invitation." Dominic said he did feel a little reluctant to leave his people here for a long time.
"Mr Dominic is calm because I brought some red Vivern troops who can take you and some people who will accompany you to the capital of the kingdom of Remaria quickly." Commander Paul said but Dominic did not see any other Soldiers in that place.
"Well, where was Paul's army of commanders?" Ask Dominic.
"Oh they'll appear as soon as I give the signal with telepathic magic and then how do you answer Mr Dominic?" Ask Commander Paul again.
"Hm. heading for the kingdom of Remaria means I have to leave people for a while in difficult circumstances like this, I don't know how to." Said Dominic who was seen thinking about the state of his people in the hideout in a condition of deprivation and Commander Paul immediately responded.
"Resol told me a few things earlier and I've spoken to his highness prince Antonio through telepathic magic and his highness the prince will guarantee the needs of your people here as long as you go to the palace remaria Kingdom, food supplies, clothes, blankets as well as some other items will be sent through the Teanir company branch in the nearby village." Commander Paul said.
Commander Paul had indeed seen the condition of the hiding places of the people who followed Dominic and the cave was indeed very uninhabitable, the huts near the mouth of the cave also looked very apprehensive, some of the people there are still stamped as slaves who fled and if they are seen in the settlement then they will be re-arrested and forced into slavery that also includes women as well as the children there that Dominic once saved from the slave market.
"Ah It turns out that commander Paul understood our situation so I thank you in this way I will be more calm to leave my people and meet Prince Antonio at the royal palace of Remaria." Dominic.
Dominic finally accepted the invitation, he invited Diana to accompany him to the kingdom of Remaria and gave him the responsibility of taking care of everything in hiding to Resol.
In the royal palace of Remaria the queen Meira Alta De Remaria with Sir Pirto slightly argued, the queen wanted to deploy Remaria's forces out of anger when she learned the Navian royal army was besieging and wounding her son in the city of Elius but of course Sir Pirto tried to appease the queen against doing so, the Kingdom of Navia was quite far to the north and it was a great loss to send troops there, moreover, some Remaria troops must be placed in the western region of the Arcan kingdom which proclaimed to join the kingdom of Remaria added Silmarin kingdom in the land of Tandora which is very dependent on the military strength of Remaria.
Antonio finally appears in the queen's throne room with a little Elf girl and her nanny.
Laura Teanir is already at the royal palace of Remaria with Gina who accompanies him at the request of Elder Galkaxa who no longer teaches at the magic school of the city of Grandis because of his deteriorating condition and returns to his birthplace the Elf kingdom city of Artamia.
"Antonio my son how are you doing?" Queen Alta asked her son.
"Mommy told me I'm fine and I don't need treatment." Answer Antonio.
Antonio then looked at Sir Pirto who was there and spoke.
"Sir Pirto how's the kingdom?" Ask Antonio.
"The condition of the kingdom is very good, the areas began to develop rapidly after the road construction project has been completed?" Answer Sir Pirto.
"That's good news and what about the front-line condition?" Ask Antonio.
"The condition of the eastern part of Silmarin is still quite tense but on the west side in the city of Lambak has begun to stabilize thanks to the withdrawal of the Arfen kingdom troops while in the Arka kingdom is also quite good the Arka kingdom is not sending their troops to block their western territories joins us but the nobles of the Arcan kingdom are seen starting to voice opposition to the possibility they can rebel king Bazara at any time." Sir Pirto.
"As soon as King Bazara did decide to put an end to the tension with us peacefully and even promised to give up everything to me if I get the entire territory of our ancestor Emperor Golgotha, he said, but the nobles and higher-ups of the Arcan kingdom who do not know about this can cause quite a bit of trouble." Antonio.
"Prince Antonio how about we speed up the unification of the territory of the Arcan kingdom with our kingdom before the nobles of the Arcan kingdom act to bring down king Bazara?" Sir Pirto gave the advice.
"No Sir Pirto it will provoke more nobles of the Arcan kingdom who want to rebel making the situation even more complicated, we have to do all this slowly." Said Antonio.
"But Prince Antonio we have the choice of enough power and resources to speed up this process of power acquisition, we must make the most of these moments."
"I have said that we cannot rush to do it any better to control the Arcan kingdom peacefully by providing assistance to their people in crisis and strengthening the position of the kingdom of Remaria in the Arcan desert, as for the rebellious we will put our main pawn among them.!" Said Antonio.
"The servant understands Prince Antonio but I'm a little worried about the king's uncle Bazara, he might be able to betray us for his own power."
"Sir Pirto was likely very small Voldira De Arka was alienated during this time because he always campaigned for peace with Remaria to oppose the king of Bazara Ra Arka who still wanted to seize the territory of Remaria, not if the kingdom of Arca joined under the rule of the kingdom of Remaria it will realize his dream of uniting the descendants of the emperor Golgotha again, after all, even though Voldira was a traitor, he could not do much against our military, who could besiege the Arcan kingdom from two directions." Anronio.
Sir Pirto did understand that the military of the chaotic Arcan kingdom was inversely proportional to the military of the kingdom of Remaria where it had successfully controlled the kingdom of Silmarin and with it the kingdom of Remaria could attack the kingdom of Arca at any time from north and west.
Sir Pirto could not answer his prince and then Queen Alta spoke.
"Antonio if your plan succeeds then the kingdom of Remaria will become a kingdom with a large territory and you can form your own empire but I am worried because to realize it means we have to take over the kingdom of Arfen which is also the former power of our ancestor emperor Golgotha in the past, a great war is bound to happen again." Queen Alta.
It is true that the king of Horten who has been removed from his position as king and his son King Valco who served at this time will not let Antonio's plan go easily, but King Horten and King Valco were not actually the original owners of the kingdom of Arfen because in the distant past the real king of Arfen had been betrayed and killed by the brother of the emperor Golgotha his own uncle cooperated with the first king of Arca and took control of the kingdom of Arfen, although the first king of Arca was also betrayed by his uncle by refusing the incorporation of the kingdom of Arfen into the kingdom of Arca.
"Mother don't worry about it even though we're going to war with the kingdom of Arfen but I'll make it a war that doesn't cause many casualties and maybe it'll just be a war without fighting and bloodshed." Antonio said but of course Queen Alta and Sir Pirto do not understand because of how there can be a war without a battle.
"His Highness Prince Antonio's servant has absolutely no understanding of your plans because after all you may be able to do such a thing?" Sir Pirto, who has no idea what's in Antonio's head, smiled and spoke.
"Sir Pirto there are many ways to gain victory without doing battle one of which we are doing in the kingdom of Arka but for the kingdom of Arfen I have a special strategy that will make everyone confused not know what's really going on because they don't know who they should blame." Antonio.
Meanwhile in the kingdom of Arka, Voldira Ra Arka had returned he walked away from the royal palace of Arka after talking directly with the King of Arka who was still sick and could only lie on his bed.
"Sir Voldira welcome back to the kingdom of Arka, we nobles have held meetings and gathered so to hear about your arrival." Said an Arcan royal nobleman who was with a group of other nobles who came to Sir Voldira who got his title back.
"Thank you so much for bothering to gather to welcome me and what do you want?" Sir Voldira asked the nobles.
"Sir Voldira we want to have a negotiation that will benefit you greatly and so will Mr Voldira be with us?" Said the noble.
"Lord Pasgar I'm actually still quite tired after just returning from seclusion but I can't seem to resist if you force me to." The real Voldira said that he did not want to meet those nobles who definitely had with the current king of Bazara and wanted to take advantage of Voldira's presence, he said, but Voldira also could not run because the nobles had influence and could cause trouble if he contradicted them.
Sir Voldira was forced to go with the nobles and when a meeting room of a noblewoman stood up and approached him.
"Hm. didn't miss Lady Orios the ruler of the Orios region I Voldira had met with your parents who had also been alienated when Emperor Wilsen forced to take over your city, I'm sorry about that, so what can I do for you?" Voldira said when she recognized Lady Orios.
"Thank you Sir Voldira, I just want to hand you a letter and please keep it a secret from the others." Said Lady Orios while handing over a scroll of letters.
Sir Voldira immediately opened the letter and read it, Voldira did not expect that it turned out that the letter submitted by Lady Voldira came from the prince Antonio who asked him to enter the noble faction that was contrary to the king of Bazara and acted as if he was one way with the nobles, to gain the support of the nobility and reverse all that after he officially replaced king Bazara in the throne seat.
Vodira then looked at Lady Orios who turned to bow her head to her. Lady Orios still owes Prince Antonio pepper which at that time helped her family in exile and took revenge on Emperor Wilsen through the cooperation of General Bennet, Lady Orios was indeed married to the only son of General Bennet but the chief noble remained in the hands of Lady Orios.
Lady Orios was actually still angry with the king of Bazara Ra Arka who once gave his city to the emperor Wilsen even forced him to replace his father who was revoked his royal title and then alienated for refusing the request king Bazara, but at this time king Bazara was helpless and admitted his guilt. Because of that past now Lady Orios has cooperated with the prince Antonio's side which will become the Kingdom of Arka as a subordinate kingdom.
"Hm Lady Orios it seems that I will not be able to oppose this both sides that look contradictory turned out to be really very friendly, alright will join the noble faction here but remember you all must have known that the state of king Bazara is very bad so either without or with your help the nobles I have been able to make sure to be the next king of Arka." Sir Voldira said to assert his position among the nobles present here.
"Sir Voldira rest easy we know about it, we just want a guarantee for our position within the kingdom of Arka when you're in the bun later and we'll give you full support to support you." Said a nobleman there, they did want something like a position and other conveniences rely on this cooperation and Voldira also needs people to support himself to ascend the throne.
"I understand your request, but we must not be too hasty in taking action, we must wait until the right time so that there is no chaos and doubt among the people who are in a state of crisis and the threat of the emergence of demons in the west." Voldira.
"But Sir Voldira would it not be better for you to immediately serve as king because the kingdom of Remaria increasingly entered the territory of the kingdom of Arca while giving assistance to the people as their persuasion to join the kingdom of Remaria, we'll lose a lot of territory if it's not dealt with immediately." Said a noble.
"True king Bazara was so foolish as to allow all that, he had no firmness as a king, Sir Voldira only you can do this bulla you become king of Arka." Said a noble.
"We cannot possibly overthrow king Bazara now even though I want the position of king of this country, we are not ready and if we deploy an army to attack Remaria's side that provides assistance to the people, the people will instead turn to think of us as criminals because the people will go back to hunger, unless you nobles here have enough funds to feed our starving people in place of assistance from the kingdom of Remaria." Voldira said and indeed what he said was true but the nobles were a little reluctant to use their wealth to feed the people.
