Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 144: War Statement.

An extremely cold killing air suddenly came from all directions which made my body shiver uncontrollably. Although I knew that the killing intent was not directed at me, I could still feel it very clearly.

Brakes... Brakes...

A few people who were unable to resist this killing intent fell down and knelt to the ground. Cold sweat soaked their backs and temples.

Phirios:"I... I'm a prince. Why, why should I be treated like this. shouldn't I be treated with respect?!."

Phirios who muttered in a very soft and trembling voice. Although I could not see her expression, but I could imagine her face being frightened but filled with arrogance.

Arkne:"Honor?. It's a great honor for you to be able to meet Your Majesty."

Philia:"We have been kind to let you live. You need to know, the Moon Palace will not leave the enemy alive. You guys are the first, isn't that an honor?."

Her Majesty Philia asked rhetorically. If you think about it, what His Holiness Philia said sounds right. But the truth makes no difference at all.

Phirios:"But... But I'm a prince. A prince who should be respected. Free me, I can forget all this."

Phirios who had been mentally disturbed from the beginning, he was currently starting to throw a tantrum. This kind of thing is very disrespectful to the ruler. Unknowingly, I slightly looked up and saw His Majesty's facial expression. The face did not change, but the look in his eyes became very gloomy and cold . Instantly, my heart screamed loudly, shouting with warning... No, don't look at it. I no longer dared to look and immediately looked down.

Filia:"Forget?. But, I don't want you to forget it."

Splash...!!.

Phirus:"Yeahaa..... Hands, hands... My hands... Akhhh...!"

My body trembled at the heart-piercing screams from Phirios. Especially, an arm cut off from the shoulder fell before me. Either because of the muscle reflex or what, but I can still see that clipped hand still twitching a little.

No one in the room dared to move. Everyone is not stupid, they know that if they move, they will die horribly in this room. Phirios continued to scream with blood pouring from her shoulder that had lost a hand.

Phirios shouted for the people to help him and treat him, but it was only Phirios. No one dared to step forward to help, they simply fell silent while breaking out in cold sweat. Although I knelt down and lowered my head, but I I knew that in this room no one moved to cut off Phirios' hand which meant that his hand was cut off without anyone having to move a single finger.

Finally, after a heartbreaking cry for a while, Phirios did not speak anymore due to faint of blood.

Filia:"Bring him and throw him into the black room."

Two knights moved and dragged Phirios in his collar. Phirios was taken out and did not know where she was going to end up.

Kharel:"Y, Your Majesty, s, I am willing to serve you."

"I am too."

"I also. Please Your Majesty to forgive me."

Kharel:"S, i..."

Kharel immediately knelt down and pleaded. His confidence and arrogance had completely collapsed at this moment. Vanity, Pride?, all of those things are things that can be thrown into the trash when lives are at stake.

Philia:"What makes you think that I need you?."

Kharel:"S, i..."

Filia: "If nothing interests me, you can go with that lump of meat."

His Holiness Philia was about to wave to signal the knights to take Kharel, but before the knights moved, Kharel stopped him.

Kharel:"T, wait. S, I, I know the location of the ruins to two."

Philia:"Oh... Attractively. Say...!"

I don't even know this information. So it is true that all this time Duke Kharel has prepared something to bring down the kingdom?!.

Kharel:"If, if I say so, can you free me?!."

Filia:"Supply...!"

Bang...!

Everyone immediately fell to the ground and was unable to stand up, as if a heavy burden was crushing my body and trying to crush it.

I painstakingly looked up and saw His Highness descending from the throne and walking slowly towards us. His eyes were extremely cold and full of killing aura. No one will notice that His Majesty is just a child. For me to feel its aura myself, I was like looking at a monster slowly approaching. A feeling of fear gripped tightly onto my heart, making my entire body tremble and shout out a warning of danger.

Her Majesty Filia walked slowly and crouched down in front of Kharel who was grimacing on the floor while holding a heavy weight on his body.

His Holiness Philia used her index finger to lift Kharel's chin. Helplessly, Kharel could only look up and look directly at the eyes of His Holiness Philia.

Filia:"Aware of your position. I'm not bargaining with you, but I'm giving you orders. Do you understand?."

Kharel:"S, i... I understand."

Filia:"That's better. So, say it now."

Kharel:"The ruins are on the North side of the kingdom."

Her Majesty Philia nodded then stood up and turned towards the throne. Instantly, the feeling of heavy weight squeezing my body disappeared without a trace.

His Majesty again sat on his majestic throne, he leaned the side of his face in hand, his lazy and domineering aura emanating with great force. Anyone who had just seen her, she would feel like seeing a lazy and arrogant little princess, but it had its own charm.

His Majesty looked at us and smiled.

Filia:"Well, I forgive your leniency. After all, what you give can save me a little bit of time."

Kharel:"B, really. K, then_"

Phile:"But..."

Duke Kharel, who seemed to have regained hope, was suddenly dropped into a deep abyss in an instant.

Philia:"But I'm not sure that price can buy the lives of all of you."

Kharel:"No, it doesn't need all. Enough of me, let me get out of here."

Hearing Kharel's reply, His Holiness Philia chuckled, as if Kharel's answer was the answer he expected.

Filia:"So, it looks like the others should stay. Because it's..."

"Wait..."

The words of His Holiness Philia were cut off again by someone. A noble dared to scream. I can guess that this is what His Holiness Philia wanted. He wanted the secret that these people kept.

By gathering everyone into one ship, His Holiness Philia was able to save a lot of time and the bus cleared out the irrelevant ones. Then, at the command of Her Majesty Philia, Miss Mimosa will show these men horror.

After that, the stay brought them to the palace and showed the wealth of Moon Palace. The next step is to ask for information. There was no need for troublesome interrogation or torture, Her Majesty Filia only needed to show a slight threat. After all, their mentality had been dropped from the beginning.

This is when the function of showing wealth will be useful. In exchange for something interesting, they can earn a life. They will show or provide information that they think is of interest to Your Majesty. They would use the benchmark of the Moon Palace's wealth, so they would bring out the most valuable objects or secrets in their opinion.

I can guess a little feather of this plan by paying attention to the actions of Moon Palace from the beginning, then compiling the entire puzzle until it becomes a complete puzzle. After doing all that, it was only this superficial conclusion that I understood, there would probably be something greater behind all of this that I could not yet understand.

Filia:"Who are you?."

"S, I, I am Chancellor Barumus."

Chancellor Barumus. One of the seven imperial chancellors Xuan Ming. He also held quite a strong political power in his hands. Perhaps, he came to the battlefield this time because he was ordered to watch over Phirios. After all, such a large army would be impossible to move at the whim of Phirios.

Philia:"Then, what can you offer me?."

Chancellor Barumus hesitated for a moment. He slowly picked up something from within the leather pouch that was tied to his waist.

Barumus:"S, I don't know if this will be useful, but this is all I have."

Barumus extended his hands forward, as if he were going to offer something. In his hand was a crystal stone that emitted a dazzling golden light. The moment the stone came out, there was an uncomfortable feeling in my heart.

I turned my attention away from the stone and saw the frozen expression of His Holiness Philia. From that expression, I knew that the glowing stone Barumus had a certain use for His Majesty.

Barumus:"We do not know what kind of stone this is, but when this stone is removed from the container of the skin, which one around this stone will gather."

Philia:"Where did you get the stone?."

Philia:"Hahahaha..... It seemed, a slightly complete ruin was in Xuan Ming empire."

Miss Arkne took the crystal and handed it to Her Majesty Philia with great respect.

Arkne:"Your Majesty, what should we do next. Should we stick to the original plan, or directly destroy it."

Filia:"No need to rush... Let's enjoy the process little by little."

Arkne:"As you wish, Your Majesty."

Miss Arkne who got the answer from His Majesty, she smiled happily, but if the smile was noticed well, then one would know that the smile had bloodthirsty cruelty. Thinking about this, I became creepy.

His Holiness Philia who took the crystal looked at it for a while before making the crystal disappear.

His Holiness Philia looked towards us a little better. At least, he did not look at us like a useless stone.

Filia:"Because my mood is good, so you can go. Galerina, take them to rest."

Galerina:"As your orders, Your Majesty."

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you..."

"..."

We stood up and prepared to leave by following the maid Galerina. But before I could go far, His Majesty stopped me .

Philia:"Oh... Miss Aneria, can you stay a while?."

Although the tone he used sounded polite and asked, but I knew that it was an order.

Aneria:"By pleasure, Your Majesty."

I just stood quietly under the stairs to the throne until everyone was taken away. After they had been gone for a while, His Holiness Philia waved her hand and the knights and maids who were marching earlier all bowed, then they left neatly. There were only 20 people in the room, including me.

Filia:"You can go."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

The other sixteen left including Miss Mimosa and the pointed-eared woman. In this vast and vast room of the Throne there are only four remaining: me, Her Majesty Filia, Miss Arkne, and Miss Upirina.

Filia:"Good job Aneria. After this, you will follow me to the battlefield."

Aneria:"The battlefield, Your Majesty?"

I'm still confused as to who His Majesty will be fighting with. Which confuses me even more, Your Majesty is taking me?.

Filia:"Really. When a mouse dares to step on the feather of a Phoenix, it must die, burn to ashes."

I don't know what His Majesty meant, but I can still guess the crude meaning behind his words.

Aneria:"I will gladly follow you, Your Majesty."

Philia:"Then we should talk about something else. Although your task is simple, but you have done well. So, do you have a request as your gift?."

I, this...

The cold sweat never stopped dripping from my forehead. This question sounds easy and simple, but to me, a question like this is full of knives and spears. If I want something then my loyalty will only be seen as seeking profit. Although it's true, but I don't want the intention to be too obvious.

On the other hand, this is my chance to get what I want. If I miss this chance, not necessarily a second chance will come.

After a long thought of the pros and cons, I finally clenched my teeth and ventured to say my wish.

Aneria:"If it's allowed, I... I hope to have full rights in the management of Dragonist Kingdom."

Arkne:"Supply...!. Do you doubt His Majesty's ability to rule?!. You_"

Philya:"Arkne!."

Her Majesty Filia stopped Miss Arkne who was angry with me. I know that this is outrageous, but...

Philia:"Well, I know what's on your mind. You can't fully trust us yet, so it's only natural for that. You're just afraid that we'll hurt people, right?!."

Aneria:"No. It's not like that. But..."

Philia:"I know you don't need to explain any further. After all, from the beginning I did not have the desire to govern that territory. So, I can give you the right of autonomy. I won't interfere in your country's affairs."

Aneria:"T, thank you Your Majesty. Thank you for your generosity."

I'm really relieved. That's what I was worried about from the beginning. Not because I was afraid of losing power, but I was afraid that my people would suffer. With His Majesty's promise, I can calm down and lay down my worries all this time.

Filia:"But I have a condition for that."

Aneria:"Please say, Your Majesty. If I could, I would."

No matter what the request is, as long as it's not outrageous, I will strive to make it happen.

Philia:"You are free to direct how the country will develop. But, if I do not agree on the direction of that development, I reserve the right to change it. Besides, it's best that the country shows its value to me, because I don't like anything worthless."

Aneria:"I will try my best not to disappoint your expectations, Your Majesty."

Although not all of this is completely free, but this is much better than the fate of other colonies. At the very least, we just need to show our worth and head towards a development that is in accordance with His Majesty's wishes. In addition, His Majesty will not intervene and will instead help if the Dronagonists Kingdom is in danger.

Filia:"Save that gratitude of yours for working hard. You can go!."

Aneria:"Thank you, Your Majesty. But...before that can I visit my sister?."

I did not have the heart to hurt Uliminus, so on the grounds that the land was insecure, I succeeded in exiling Uliminus and becoming queen. With His Majesty's offer, Uliminus is currently allowed to stay at Moon Palace. It's not a loss that he lives here. With him staying here, he would gain better learning than in the Dragonists Kingdom who were experiencing chaos everywhere.

Filia:"Yes, you can meet him at any time. You can also take your parents to see him. But, maybe if you want to see her alone, you'll get lost, so let the waiter take you to see her."

I left the throne room and found a servant to guide the way.

(In the meantime.).

Above the sky of the imperial capital Xuan Ming, the sky suddenly split open, revealing the black void that lay behind it. Everyone stopped and looked up to see the phenomenon.

It didn't take long, the news immediately spread to the ears of the royal family. They also saw the phenomenon from the palace area.

Not for a moment, from behind the crack appeared, a fiery red eyeball suddenly opened, as if a terrifying giant creature had awakened. The eyeball was extremely large and lit up in fiery red, as if a second red moon had appeared all of a sudden.

The eyeballs flickered and looked towards the palace, precisely at the royal family.

"You lowly beings, you have made a grave mistake. You have ignited the anger of His Majesty. Therefore, you better prepare, the Moon Palace army will be here soon."

The voice that spoke those words sounded extremely evil and cruel. Especially looking at those red eyeballs, a feeling of coldness and goosebumps would envelop the hearts of those who listened to it.

War... This is a declaration of war...
