I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 147: Worrying About the Unnecessary

A week after the war ended, the outermost gate of the royal capital opened, the returning troop of soldiers were greeted by a line of townspeople thronging the outskirts of the street. They cheered and waved flags along the way, glorifying the soldiers and adventurers who had returned safe and won the battle.

Being in the middle of the control of the elite soldiers and high-level experts, the king fell silent with a very confusing situation. Everyone had seen how the trick the alliance of the three kingdoms played out against its troops, but why was the capital in such a state of good? Where did the combined soldiers of the three kingdoms go? This situation not only confused the king, it also became a burden on everyone's mind.

"Your Majesty, is this a trap they have prepared?" Kayle who was still in disbelief said in a half whispered tone. His gaze was still locked on the line of residents standing to the side, looking around for anything suspicious. It's just that his efforts were in vain.

The king did not answer, he himself was not sure of his thoughts. As hard as he thought that, it was still impossible for the enemy forces to retreat instead of going to attack this place. What exactly is going on? The king also gave a secret order to one of his personal guards to send a scout outside, with the intention of finding out the existence of enemy troops.

"Kayle, prepare the meeting hall immediately. Gather all the heads of departments and royal officials, as well as Alice to discuss the current situation of the kingdom," King Cornelius said with a stern face.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't you rest first?" Kayle saw how the king's face was pale from lack of sleep, as well as his condition and other experts. During his return journey to the capital, the king instructed him to move quickly, reducing his rest time.

"No need, I won't calm down before I know what's been going on this week." The king walked into his residence, followed by his three personal guards.

In the afternoon the king returned in formal attire, heading to the meeting hall along with Kayle and his personal bodyguards. Along the way, the king inquired about the condition of his entire family, especially Queen Lilian and Prince Arta. Only after that he was shocked and turned sour upon hearing from Kayle that his beloved son had left the royal mansion and had not yet returned to the royal family mansion.

".... But Your Majesty, something happened about four days ago. As seen in the entrance courtyard of the mansion, the housekeepers were in the stage of completion of repairs. Actually this has something to do with the fight conducted by the servant of Prince Asta who lives in this mansion. They have come and are waiting in the meeting hall to report the incident" Kayle said, raising her glasses.

The arrival of the king in the meeting hall made a commotion that immediately stopped, the king walked through the time and arrived at his throne. Being in a higher position than the others, King Cornelius circulated his gaze to see the presence of the higher-ups and then nodded in satisfaction. After which, he looked at the two black-robed mysterious figures that had previously been silent beside the meeting hall.

When the atmosphere of silence and the higher-ups waited for the king to open a meeting that afternoon, surprisingly the two mysterious figures came to the king with a relaxed manner. Just contact the soldiers who were in the corner of the room immediately quickly moved to protect the king. It was also seen that Alice was secretly taking precautions with the movement of her hand.

King Cornelius raised his hand and ordered the soldiers to return to their positions. The two experts stopped stepping in the middle of the hall, then opened the hood of his head covering and revealed the true appearance of a beautiful but cold woman and a bald man with a rough face. Both of them seemed indifferent to the bad views sent by the higher-ups about the attitude of the two who were disrespectful when dealing directly with the king.

After all, neither of them had any reason to be as polite as the other. They would not bother to pay homage to the king because both of them were only submissive and obedient to their master. Furthermore, Akio smiled slightly as he stole a glance towards his back.

"Looks like not everyone is listening to you, Your Majesty?" Akio asked King Cornelius with a skeptical look. Next the woman flipped over, then glanced towards the red-robed woman with a slightly condescending look. Of course after seeing how the woman behaved in front of the king everyone gritted their teeth and threw a dislike look at the woman, including Fergus who was the head of the military department.

Getting not so pleasant treatment, the woman also released all her true strength, showing a surge of deadly aura to all the people in the place, including the king who was still sitting on his throne. Before the officials and higher-ups could realize what was happening, they had all fallen limp in the face of the absolute power of that ice-cold woman. Fergus widened his eyes, dropping his sword on the floor helplessly. His expression also turned complicated once he saw the woman before him that was like a monster that could not be defeated.

"Enough with this shit, I don't want to play with you anymore, Miss." Akio sighed and pressed back on his strength, giving face to Alice who seemed to start paling on the surface. All the people in the meeting hall were able to breathe a sigh of relief and again raised their bodies to their feet. Then the woman continued her words when she finished turning and facing back towards the king. "Return to the topic of the issue we both want to address."

"Well, my lord gave this command to us to tell you this matter, just in case in the future not to repeat the same mistake, leaving the royal capital empty."

"Giraldo, please get those two experts out of your coffin."

"Alright, Giraldo understands what you mean." The big man immediately took off the box of chests he had previously carried behind his back. Then lay it on the ground and open it.

"They were both experts sent by the holy temple to this place to kill the entire royal family, especially Queen Lilian. Yet my Master had calculated this matter from afar, and instructed us to stay in this place. You should already be grateful for this generosity of my Lord. Thanks to our presence your royal family was saved" Akio said.

"Yes, Akio's right." Giraldo supported his friend. It's just that after seeing Akio sending out a sharp glare, it seems that he didn't really like his actions just now?

"Alright, we will immediately investigate this case and find out why the holy temple you mentioned earlier intended to attack my family. As the ruler, I mean as the head of this royal family, I personally express a lot of gratitude for your contribution in saving all my family members who are in the family mansion. The government will certainly give you a proper reward for your hard work."

The king laughed awkwardly, then gave praise to the two experts before him. Before finally continuing her words, "However, before that I would like to ask you something about your identity. If it's not wrong, aren't you experts working to protect my son? Can you tell me where my son is right now? Is she okay?"

"Indeed, we serve the prince. And as for the gift you mentioned earlier, we really don't need it." Akio then turned his body and instructed his friend to leave. Before he walked away the woman finished saying, "Because there's nothing to talk about anymore, we'll go."

"Wait, you have not answered His Majesty's question! What about Prince Asta!" Kayle with sweat that was seen drenching her forehead ventured to shout towards the two.

"You don't have to worry about my Lord. As long as they're in my lord, no one can hurt him." After saying that to everyone in the meeting hall, Akio smiled and continued his footsteps, along with Giraldo leaving the room.
