MERCIA
83. Building Alliances.

Five days later.

After the funeral of the king of Valon and the appointment of Dior to become the new king, the atmosphere of Galan kingdom activity began to gradually recover and return to normal.Some communities both old, young, young, the little boy seemed to swarm around the strange object that had the propeller, while Rafael and Ellias looked in the veil of young mothers hard-line, offering snacks cake and also ahem, Ellias asserts that Rafael was the one who killed the dragon, making Rafael the center of attention, not a few young mothers who were mostly widows asked for thumbprints to add to his collection.

Elsewhere, August and the others gathered in the royal hall, Dior feeling awkward sitting on the throne that his father used to sit on. Dior got up from his seat.

"Thank you all for your help, I won't forget all this, if you don't mind calling me Dior."

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

"You don't have to be awkward, you'll get used to it" Myla said.

"Mercia I've sent some people to spread the news of this victory, but I don't understand what you mean yet."

All eyes were staring at August.

"After they learned of the death of king Valon, I'm sure there are other kingdoms that will try to take advantage of this situation, they know Dior has no experience, they will send messengers."

"chairman of Nefia, chief of Myla, I would like to ask for your condolences to stay in this palace for a few more days."

"We are willing, we still have business here and we may need your help a little bit Mercia" Nefia said.

"Thank you, I'll be happy to help you."

"But Mercia if I may know what our whereabouts are?" ask Myla.

"Galan is just a small kingdom, I ask Ravenna to spread the news of this victory so that they are curious and find out how much power this kingdom has to defeat Kallus."

"Aira said that before the king of Valon sent messengers to ask for help from other kingdoms, but none of them came to help, When they saw the two Armeda clans, they saw the two Armeda clans, the Elves and the chopper are here I'm sure they'll never look at you with one eye again, and the moment they want to make an alliance with you, that's the chance for Dior to raise this kingdom."

"You want to pick them up?" ask Lyra.

"One of them, I feel Kallus's attack is just the beginning."

Silent.

"Have any of you ever been to the kingdom of Gavaria?"

"Gavarian Kingdom?"

Everyone was a little surprised to hear it.

"Mercia, it's one of the great kingdoms in Proxima, have you been there?" ask Lyra.

"I've never been, but the kingdom can be made our ally."

"Mercia, Galan's kingdom is too small, even if we are both messengers they will not be interested in allying with us" Myla said.

August smiles. "Chairman of Nefia do you also agree with the words of chief Myla?"

"What Myla says is true, they're disinclined to us doesn't mean they're afraid" said Nefia.

"I mean is it true that you two are willing to be messengers?"

Myla and Nefia looked at each other, as did Aruna and Aira who were unthinkable to them and another one who ordered the two chiefs of Armeda for a task.

Nefia and Myla nodded.

"We're willing, but I have two questions" said Nefia.

"please" said August.

"Chairman Myla chairman of Nefia don't you two want the Armeda clan to reunite? if the two of you are willing to all see that Armeda is no longer a dispute, Gavaria may not fear Armeda because you are divided, if they see you united they will be more careful."

Aruna and Aira smiled. Myla and Nefia agreed.

"what makes you so sure?" ask Nefia.

"I know what Gavaria wants, you two will meet someone before going to Gavaria."

"someone? who's? where's the?" ask Nefia.

Gavaria is desperate to ally with Innodale and we can help him for that and accept our offer unconditionally."

"The innodale? the land of witches?" Nefia surprised.

"Mercia that place is the place that everyone wants to avoid the most, you must already know what happened to Aruna?" nefia.

August walked over to Aruna.

"I know, Aruna told me, I almost lost her when we were there, which is why I asked her to leave, but then things changed, the man who kidnapped me has now become the great wizard, Freya and Minerva have finally become his followers, the great wizard named Helena you will meet him and ask him on my behalf to go to Gavaria, tell queen Janessa, Drake or Jasmine I asked for a gift and that gift is this deal" August said, holding Aruna on both shoulders.

"How do you know the three of them?" ask Lyra.

"I accidentally met them, and then freed queen Janessa, Drake and Jasmine helped me find the mirror cave."

"After that Innodale was no longer a place to avoid, it was the powerhouse of the white mages."

Aruna was getting red, he had not heard what August said.August's hand on his shoulder made his concentration crumble. Aira just grunted annoyedly.

"All right, we'll do it."

After the meeting various emissaries from other kingdoms came, some tried to intimidate and suppress Dior, but when they saw the two heads of Armeda and the elf troops, they were the ones who felt the pressure, but they were the ones who were the ones who were the most vulnerable, many agreements happen that are mutually beneficial, but for those who refuse to provide assistance at that time must return to bring a deal that does not give any benefit.

Dior appointed his aunt Ravenna to be his adviser, and Leth became a warlord. Legira helps Emera to train at the temple, occasionally they help Leth and others train the soldiers.

Lyra and the others have returned to earth, August has said that he will stay a while before returning home.

In a field in the afternoon

the entire Armeda clan gathered together to make a large circle, visible in the middle of the circle stood Aruna and Aira.

"Clean your hearts before you do" Myla said.

August stands among the chief of Armeda.

"What will happen after this?" ask August.

"If they were the right people the two pendants would fuse into a gold pendant and would choose a single leader" Nefia said.

"Only those who wish to unite can be a member of Armeda, otherwise they may leave, if they pretend they will die.that was our predecessor's oath when breaking the pendant stone in two." myla.

Both pendants are in the middle of Aruna and Aira's palms with a rope that is rolled on their wrists. The two pendants will be united by shaking hands, Aruna and Aira extend their hands.

"After this our two clans will unite, you want it Aruna?"

."Of course Aira."

But when they wanted to shake hands, they heard screaming sounds.

"Wait..!"
