The Demon Lord System
Chapter 210: End of the Battle of the Black Witch Association II
The news regarding the destruction of the Black Mage Association Organization had the Royal Highnesses sculpting, especially some of those involved with the Black Mage Association.
ㅤ
Because if they are known, their status, wealth and certainly their authority will be revoked.
ㅤ
They were in severe shock because of it, especially because the King and others were beginning to focus on investigating traitors among the royal higher ups.
ㅤ
“What should we do Chairman?” Some old men in silk shirt suits began to urge the chairman among them, Bavista.
ㅤ
Bavista was a royal official who served as, the Royal Central Financial Examiner's Body, therefore his status was highly respected and had considerable authority throughout the Kingdom.
ㅤ
If the other higher-ups start investigating, Bavista himself is not sure he will escape from the Royal Central Defense and Security Commander, therefore he is thinking about how to get himself away from the suspect.
ㅤ
“For the time being I hope you return to your respective residences, if this meeting continues I fear that there will be a royal spy watching it..”.
ㅤ
Although the Bavista Residence was large and strict about its guard, he knew how powerful the abilities of the royal spies were to investigate things. Because they are under the command of the Commander of the Kingdom's Central Defense and Security.
ㅤ
The royal higher-ups initially refused, but within minutes Bavista was finally able to calm them down. Bavista then went inside his room, he looked at his entire room.
ㅤ
Bavista sighed then closed her room, she walked into a room and opened it. Seen a seven-year-old child lying in bed reading a book.
ㅤ
Realizing the door was open, the boy put down his book and exclaimed to Bavista, “Dad! I want us to play? Can?” He said as he went down the mattress that felt high to him.
ㅤ
Bavista smiled in response, he then stroked the child's head gently, “Sorry, dad is busy Lay.”
ㅤ
The smile turned sour, the little boy lowered a few centimeters down.
ㅤ
Feeling guilty Bavista decided to change the subject, she asked her son what book he was reading.
ㅤ
On hearing that, the little boy looked delighted and enthusiastic, he quickly explained, “The book I am reading is a spear comprehension book, a spear, when I grow up I will protect my father and become a hero like I expected.”
ㅤ
As soon as Bavista let out tears from her eyes, she noticed it but did not understand the cause. The little boy just stared at Bavista in confusion.
**
A few days after the investigation, some evidence showed that the top officials of the kingdom, one of which was Bavista, the Central Financial Examiner Agency of the Kingdom.
ㅤ
When examined and asked, Bavista without resisting answered the truth. He also told her the reason for betraying the Kingdom was because he believed that when the Kingdom collapsed, he would get some of the money that the kingdom had.
ㅤ
Naturally the royal members involved in the investigation became very upset with Bavista, but the King did not give permission for them to punish personally.
ㅤ
In contrast to the parliamentary inquiry, those who helped the Black Witch Association from behind the scenes became angry at Bavista telling the Parliament of Inquiry that they were participating in the activity.
ㅤ
King Leaf was also involved in the investigation, she heard what Bavista said. He only let out a long sigh, before turning his gaze to the other higher-ups that Bavista said were also traitorous.
ㅤ
**
It had been two days since Ling Chen had rested in the Sacred Tower, he had recovered and his strength was back in tip-top shape.
ㅤ
Ling Chen and Levi were already preparing to return and meet the Leaf King, the moment they were about to leave, it looked as if the four sharp-eyed warriors were looking at them unblinkingly, they slowly began to hunch over and give their respects from afar.
ㅤ
Levi turned his face and immediately flew away, Ling Chen scratched his head in astonishment while asking why all of a sudden the speed of Levi became so much stronger?
**
ㅤ
The journey to the Kingdom should have taken half a day when flying at Levi's usual speed, but at this time the speed was several times higher, make Levi and Ling Chen up within six/seven hours.
ㅤ
“Kingdom is getting close, I'll tell the others..” Ling Chen advised Levi after that he noblely contacted the other Demonic Pillars.
ㅤ
Inside the inner talk, Kurumi explained as the representative of Xan and Arthur, they were inside the kingdom waiting for Ling Chen's arrival. Ling Chen sighed in relief, the moment he re-opened his eyes, he was already above the kingdom.
ㅤ
Ling Chen jumped up and fell down, not long since Ling Chen had fallen Levi down with his form, then two warriors began to approach them.
ㅤ
“Welcome to heroes, please follow us.” The two warriors spoke with tense faces, Ling Chen only smiled before following them from behind.
**
The existence of Ling Chen as well as the other four became the center of attention of all the royal higher-ups gathered. They looked at Ling Chen with a different look, there was some feeling of awe.
ㅤ
Ling Chen who was getting a lot of attention was a little nervous but put up was still able to maintain a fake smile.
ㅤ
Among them, Bavista whose neck was tied by iron looked at Ling Chen, he did not know what to say, nor did he know whether to be angry or happy, either, but he was currently only able to sigh and daydream.
ㅤ
“Royal Hero, Ling Chen. Thank you, thanks to you this kingdom feels safe now, I have also sent some spy soldiers to check their headquarters.”
ㅤ
Levi looked at the King with a cold gaze, which made Leaf immediately explain her point.
ㅤ
“B-not that I don't believe it, but I want to make sure the bodies and the citizens are there. Whether they are safe or not.”.
ㅤ
Levi who noticed it broke out in a cold sweat, he threw away his face speechlessly. There was something he did but he did not think about it, the current Levi just wished Ling Chen had no idea what he was doing.
ㅤ
Meanwhile the King finally gave some gifts as a form of thanks. Ling Chen rejected him, telling him what he was going to ask.
ㅤ
“I don't want a gift like this, but I want you to give me another..”.
ㅤ
The atmosphere was suddenly silent, even the King was silent at Ling Chen's words.
ㅤ
“Therefore, I will tell you my real identity... I am a prince of a kingdom.”
