The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 28: Conversation
Palace, Kingdom of Aulzania.
A vast Palace in the Capital of Aulzania. Located in the center of the City, the Palace is surrounded by a strong and sturdy wall to restrict anyone who can enter the palace.
The palace itself is beautifully and magnificently made. In front of the palace, a path stretched from the palace door to the entrance of the palace.
The palace has 6 different corners, each corner has a different tower.
Where the Throne Room is located, the King Esdagius Losgan Ri Aulzania sits on the throne. Although he was 40 years old, his body remained firm and sturdy. His legs are also pretty at his age. Having golden silver hair added a strong impression to his face. The clothes he wore also added to the impression of wisdom and prestige he had.
To her right, Queen Rialna Asdeen Ri Aulzania stands with the King. Beautiful Queen Paras with long silver hair that decomposes adds to the beauty of her.
The ice-coloured dress the Queen wore was exquisite, adorned by jewels in every corner.
On the left, a young man who was the first prince, Etharez Hilren Ri Aulzania stood gallantly. The prince was a handsome young man with silver hair.
His stature is balanced, not stocky, not thin, nor fat. His good looks grew with the clothes he was wearing.
Meanwhile before the King's Throne, the knights wearing white Armor stood lined up on both sides.
"Duke Tayslen Vendicurt, what is your business to dare ask the King to listen to you in the morning like this?"
The prince spoke, There is a slight dislike in his words.
"I'm sorry, Prince. This business is so important."
Tayslen Vendicurt, kneeling before the King and bowing his head deeply.
"Although so, Tayslen. You don't have to insist like that, don't you know how polite san-"
"Enough, Rialna. Let him talk."
The King finally let out a sound, cutting off the Queen's words.
"Alright, King... Tayslen you're allowed to explain what happened. If it's not as important as you say, then you know the consequences, right?"
"Glekkkl.... Thank you Your Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen. I will explain this as briefly but clearly as possible."
Tayslen had a pale face, sweat coming out of his forehead.
"Your Majesty the King, this matter is related to the City of Rondelia. Last night, Rondelia City was attacked by a group of people, there was a possibility that they were from the evil group Night Corpse."
"Slave's daughter, Gyslen Vindecurt. It was originally planning to capture the Vampires who had terrorized Rondelia City last night. But the man he made bodyguard and his lover named Zell turned out to be part of the mysterious group. Zell was the one who suggested the Vampire's capture plan, whereas his real intention was to lure the entire Rondelia City army out at once and take control of the city."
"As a result, the servant's daughter accepted defeat. The entire army he was carrying was killed. The Servant's daughter is still tormented to this day."
Tayslen looked down, his face looking angry and sad.
Hearing Tayslen's explanation, the Queen's face, the Prince and the Knights looked surprised.
"Do you mean that the city of Rondelia was almost destroyed and taken over?!"
The prince asked with a shocked face, and in disbelief.
"It turns out this is a more serious matter than I thought."
The queen voiced the same shock.
The king then raised his hand, so that there would be no more noise.
"I heard some irregularities, you said the enemy had killed all the troops there. But your daughter is the only one alive, right? what do you mean by torture? Your daughter got a curse or something?explain Tayslen."
"A-You're the True King, the servant's daughter is indeed alive and in a tormented state.
However, I am not sure what happened to my daughter, she is wrapped in a transparent box that looks like a seal. In it, the daughter of the servant is tormented and has nightmares, to be clear I am not sure I can mention her before His Majesty..."
The King, Queen and Prince raised their eyebrows. What makes a Tayslen unable to mention him before the King?
"Say, this is an order."
"Well, inside the box was a slave daughter tortured with a terrible cycle.! Every time, a portion of the servant princess's body would explode. From inside the servant daughter's body will appear a sharp object that looks like blood. Even more terrifying and cruel, in a while the daughter of the servant will be fully healed. But it will explode again... So next... Your Majesty."
Tayslen looked desperate, his breathing irregular.
"What-What..??" The Queen shut her mouth.
"Are you serious, Duke Tayslen?!" The prince also seemed to be in disbelief.
"Tayslen. Have you told the witch to check what kind of curse it is?" The king was also a little surprised.
But, as expected of a King. He still displayed an authoritative, calm, and thoughtful face.
"Honey already, they don't know anything." Tayslen shook his head.
"But Your Majesty, there was a strange incident that night.... A great Vibration shook the entire City, then it was followed by a Rain.... Blood." Tayslen said seriously.
"Is so... But it rained blood... Forgetit. I already understand your point. I'll send Sarlyn along with some of the Knights of Aulzania to Rondelia later."
"T-Thank you very much!! Your Majesty, I am so grateful! as expected of you can guess the purpose of the arrival of the servant!"
Tayslen bowed deeply, giving his greatest gratitude to the King.
"Pulse... This is a serious matter for the Kingdom, I should have taken this seriously." King nodded.
"You can leave now." The king gave orders.
"Good!" Tayslen bowed once more, then he slowly walked back and out of the Throne Room.
The Throne Room became silent, no one dared to speak.
They were just waiting for their King to start the saying first.
"Ehm! You go out, continue your activities. Except for you, Derrian." The King ordered the neatly lined Knights to come out, except for one person.
One by one they saluted the King and walked out of the Throne Room.
"Hamba to His Majesty, what do you want to talk about with the Servant?"
The man named Derrian bowed and knelt before the King.
"Derrian, I just want to ask you who has a broad insight into the world of fighting. Do you know what kind of magic or curse that is?" King asked.
"With all apologies, even servants have never heard anything of the sort. If it's just a curse that blasts someone's body at a certain time, I know it. However, according to what Duke Tayslen was talking about, this curse has repeated cycles and will explode continuously as long as this curse exists. Oddly enough the wounds received by her daughter can be healed again.
This means this curse will run for a long time. I Sense The Secret of all this is in the Transparent Box that Duke Is Talking About His Majesty."
"Good and reasonable explanation, Derrian. I love your ability to analyze situations quickly." The king praised derrian sincerely.
"I don't deserve such praise, Your Majesty."
"It's okay, you do have the ability in that... And again..."
"My son, you'd better be careful from now on. So also with you Rialna you also have to be careful, there is a possibility that they are targeting the royal family directly."
"Okay, Your Majesty." Prince retaliates.
"Of course, my King." Queen retaliated.
"Then this meeting is dissolved." King ordered.
After ordering disbandment, the King pondered.
"Hopefully Serlyn could analyze that strange Box.." The king murmured in his heart...

This time, in a Hall that was only illuminated by a hint of light.
The hall that gave off an unpleasant and terrible feeling. In every corner of this hall, there was a sinister demon statue with both glowing red eyes.
Meanwhile, in the center of this hall there are 3 chairs that surround the circular table.
All three seats were filled by different people, one man and two women.
They were not all human, visible from the two horns on their heads. A pair of wings also stuck to their backs.
"Reynalue, I received information that your people failed in the mission of the Chief to take control of Rondelia City. How can you be responsible for this?"
A creepy-looking old man with a pointed nose and bald head spoke cynically.
"Huhuhuhu, Reynalue has always failed, hasn't Nidgor?"
This time it was the turn of the woman with the cunning face who spoke. Her words contain harsh innuendo.
"Tch... It is not I who fail, but my subordinates! how can you blame me in a situation like this?!"
The woman named Reynalue opposed the other two who blamed her.
Reynalue had a small body, but strangely her face looked mature.
"Your subordinate's fault is your fault as well Reynalue." Nidgor speaks.
"Ughs..... What about you Irlyana? haven't you made a mistake, too?"
"Silverfufu... I've made mistakes, but not as much as you." A woman named Irlyana gave a sly smile.
"It's enough for you two, Chief to ask me to listen to your explanation Reynalue."
"Haa..... At first the plan went very well. We managed to scapegoat a Vampire who happened to be in that city. But, on the night of the operation, a strange and terrible man appears." Reynalue.
"It's terrible in your view, isn't it? fufufuf.."
"Silent Irlyana! continue Reynalue." Nidgord snapped at Irlyana.
"That strange man in an instant slaughtered my entire subordinate. At the moment of his appearance, a red Rain accompanied by a terrifying aura enveloped the entire City."
"Rain? The blood? what'sthat??" Irlyana looks confused.
"Okay, I don't know either. At that time I decided to retreat, it would be dangerous if I fought that person." Reynalue.
"Reynalue, according to your estimate. How strong is he? how big is the amount of mana?" Nidgor asked seriously.
"Well.... At least, he's a little stronger than me who's in this mode..." Reynalue.
"So, the Chief ordered that you pay for your failure. First, you have to finish that guy off first. It shouldn't matter if he's a little stronger than you, right??"
"of course! I won't disappoint Chief a second time. I will torture the brash man who has disrupted our Plan!"
"Sufuf.... Don't fail again, Reynalue."
"No...!"
"Good, then we'll disperse now...."
The three figures then disappeared into a shadow and fused with the air.
The hall became quiet and quiet.....
