I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 78: A Strong Presence
"alright. Kayle, find out if there's a place south of the border that can be used as a place to live for him" said King Cornelius with a helpless face. In the end, he agreed to the prince's request.
"Your Majesty, do you really agree to it?" Kayle couldn't help but stay quiet. He still cares about the prince. "This will be very risky for the safety of Prince Asta. Please reconsider your decision, Your Majesty."
"Aunt Kayle, I know you're worried about me, and I'm very grateful for that. It's just that I still have servants around me, they are very strong, they are more than enough to protect me from anyone who wants bad intentions. And, don't worry, they're so loyal, it's impossible to betray me."
"But! Still is...."
"Alright, Kayle. Let him choose what he wants." King Cornelius who saw the nature of Mavis so stubborn as to leave, made him involuntarily smile suddenly. Somehow he became aware that the prince was really similar to his old self. That stubbornness! Round eyes with a strong firmness! It was very similar to what the king had when he was young.
"Let him be a real man. After all, the most valuable lesson of a man is when he can face the most difficult problems with a strong determination. For her safety, Kayle you can talk to Fergus to send some unit squads to go with him."
"Well, in the end the decision is with His Majesty. Then give me some time to remember what places are in the southern border." Kayle finally tried to dig up the memory in her mind about the archives of the southern border region, and she finally found it.
"Your Majesty, I think in the southern region there are only two places with two different conditions. First, it was a border fortress currently still ruled by Prince Sulton, the son of the previous king's concubine. The situation there is also quite good, Prince Sulton is very attentive to the people there and is fair in governing. It was also the only border wall the kingdom had in the south, as the first base of defense if the kingdom came under attack from the south."
"While the other place is only a small settlement managed by a Baron. The place is shabby and things are very bad there. News that circulated Baron Gustav had collected a large amount of taxes and embezzled some funds to enter his personal cash. Many residents there live with difficulties and some choose to move from the place. Your Majesty, this has actually been a long time since the royal party commemorated Baron Gustav, only events continue to repeat when the royal envoy has gone from that place."
"From those two places, I advise Prince Asta to occupy the territory currently managed by Prince Sulton. I heard about Prince Sulton, he's a free man, if it wasn't for the previous king sending him to the border to run the place, maybe now he's traveling as a wanderer. With Asta there, I'm sure Prince Sulton will gladly accept it" Kayle said.
"May I decide?" Mavis spoke up as the king tried to answer Kayle.
King Cornelius nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Then I choose the settlement that is currently managed by Baron Gustav. However the conditions there are very bad, as a prince I cannot stand still when the people there are experiencing difficulties and tribulations" said Mavis.
"It's...."
"All right, I agree."
"Your Majesty...."
"Kayle, lead the way."
"Okay, Your Majesty." With a face Kayle answered. In fact, he wanted to comment on the prince's choice which was very strange. Why would he choose a bad place instead of the convenient fortress that Prince Sulton currently manages? The woman did not think.
They parted ways, King Cornelius along with the guards and Kayle moved towards the queen's residence. Meanwhile, Mavis returned to her room and also made preparations. Mavis also needs to talk to Lily about everything about her setting conditions. He also has to retell the condition of the Baratajaya Kingdom and what things Lily should do later.
"My master, the servant detected five powerful existences inside the room, My lord. What is my Lord's order? Should the servant go to clean it up?"
"Wait."
When Mavis walks towards his residence Buster suddenly sends a voice message over telepathy, making Mavis who at that moment was enjoying her steps while walking, turn grim. Who else wants to find trouble with him? Is that Juleaha's concubine's man? Does he want revenge because Mavis had previously revealed the secret of the royal healer? If that was the case, that cunning fox would be extremely unlucky. Mavis is not a match for him.
"How strong are they? Can you detect that?" Mavis hurriedly asked Buster.
"My lord, they are just as powerful as the demons. Could it be that they were from the same demon race?" buster.
"That's not sure. You said their strength was at least as high as the demons usually were, wasn't that too great? If you already know, why do you still want to offer to go clean them up? Are you willing to win against them?" Mavis was at a loss for words with Buster's behavior.
"My lord, it's not certain who lost and who won before I tried" Buster said. She was embarrassed when she answered.
"You're no match for them Buster, at least for now. Then leave this to them." Mavis disconnected Buster and began sending voice messages to the Moon and Stars.
"You two, go."
As soon as Mavis finished giving the order, a puff of smoke emerged from the floor behind Mavis. Next it took the shape of the Moon which with her neat all-black clothes, she appeared in a respectful manner with one of the hands on the chest. While the Star, the demon appeared as usual with his psychopathic smile.
"Understand."
