The Two Empresses
A Small Fight

"Miss Schariac?"

"I need an explanation, now!" Tania Jerrit. His voice echoed until some of the waiters were curious and found out who did it. Phillip sighed and put on a calm expression.

"Miss Schariac, you are disrespectful. This is the palace, and Miss has already called Her Majesty Queen Saciel by her name. Miss could be sentenced..."

"I don't care!" cut Tania while taking out a big clock behind her. Phillip flinched and immediately took out his rapier. "I want to know why!"

"Miss, did Duke Schariac not tell you?" ask Phillip.

"No one told me! Move over!" sahut Tania while taking out a long-barreled rifle and pointing it at Phillip. "You're evil!"

"Can't we talk all right?" persuade Phillip. Tania did not reply, but instead directly pulled the trigger and hot lead began to shoot towards Phillip. Phillip instantly blocked all the shots with just his sword. "Miss Tania!"

"Give back Brother Vristhi!" tania screams as she continues to shoot and pulls out the rifle from her watch. Phillip immediately turned around and smashed all the bullets with just a single flash. The rumbling sound made Saciel flinch and rush down without covering her pyjamas. He who had just stepped on the stairs immediately bounced when the blast wave hit him. Luckily Stevan was able to catch him so he didn't kiss the wall.

"Your Majesty is fine?" stevan asked, lowering him slowly.

"Yes, thank you. What's the commotion here?" ask Saciel.

"Miss Tania Schariac is furious at the execution of Vristhi Rosemary. Right now he is fighting with the Marquess Arlestine" Stevan replied as he attached his suit to Saciel.

"Did no one tell the boy?" ask Saciel. Stevan just shook his head. Saciel immediately ran down to the bottom floor. The servants instantly tried to prevent, but Saciel continued walking and pulled the ornate spear from the wall with a grim face. He threw the spear with all his strength until it stuck in their midst. The hard marble floor was smashed into pieces, making Phillip a little winked at it.

"Tania Schariac, is the manners Duke Schariac taught still not enough until you dare to make a mess in the palace?" saciel asked as he walked closer with a deadly aura around him. Tania took a step back, yet she did not tremble.

"Why did you do it?" tanya Tania half growled.

"What are you talking about?"

"Sister Vristhi. Why did you execute the man who had fought together as part of the 7 Eternal Wizards?!"

"Because he's betrayed, Tania. You're the only one who doesn't know anything about being locked up at home" Saciel replied coldly. Tania flinched, but the anger still did not subside.

"Even if he's betrayed, his sentence doesn't need to be executed!"

"Even if he kills the people?" ask Saciel. Tania stuttered, trying to digest all the words of the queen. But his ego forbids to absorb it well.

"No, Brother Vristhi will never do it!" sahut Tania's. Saciel let out a frustrated sigh hearing him.

"Do you think I'm talking nonsense to you? I won't carry my people's names just for a little thing."

Tania covered her ears, not wanting to hear anything more. The flow of magic began to be chaotic and gathered at one point like a bomb ready to explode. Saciel instantly made a shield that encircled Tania until an explosion occurred and made a huge blast wave that swept across the entire palace. Luckily, no part was broken. He walked over and stuck his throat until the little girl was unconscious. He caught the girl and sniffed her head to get someone to carry her. Stevan rushed forward and carried her carefully.

"Take him back to his house. Phillip, accompany Stevan. My head hurts," Saciel said half-complaining. "There's just this one kid."

"Okay, Your Majesty," they replied. Saciel was still standing on the spot, staring at the crumbling floor on his footing, while some servants were at a loss as to how to approach the queen in thin pajamas and reveal her curves. Parvati immediately grabbed a thin blanket and covered her body.

"Your Majesty, it's not good to show yourself like this. Let's go back inside" Parvati said. Saciel walked towards the second floor, followed by Parvati at the back.

"Thank God you're both fine. I thought we were going to lose His Majesty the king and the queen" Nero said as he placed a basket of fruits on the table.

"Nero, you're my son. There is no need to talk formally like that," Frederick said while stroking Kezia who was engrossed in the fashion of his little boy.

"I'm just a foster child, where I might dare to behave like that" replied Nero. Max embraced the red-haired young man's shoulders and stroked his head in a fit of anxiety.

"Hey, you're my brother. Don't think about anything else" Max said. Nero gave a smile and pushed Max far enough. "More."

"Obviously, stupid. But how could Father and Mother be stranded on the Lazt continent?" ask Nero. Frederick sighed and looked at Ren, his wife with a gaze only understood by them. The queen gave a smile and took Kezia out, leaving the men in the throne room.

"You may not believe it, but someone helped us escape from the dungeon. He's not part of this world."

"Not from this world?" ask Nero.

"God's kinship?" ask Max.

"I'm not sure" Frederick said. "What about you guys? We left you and this country for almost a year."

"Everything here is fine. It's just that we haven't been able to control a war that's increasingly unclear" Max said. Frederick patted Max's head and gave a smile.

"You're amazing, Max. Then I'll retire quickly and calmly if there's you" Frederick said. Max was silent and agitated, making Frederick curious. "You okay?"

"Umm Dad, I'm not sure I'm a king this fast."

"Why? Are you afraid of being a king?"

"Rather than being afraid, I feel unworthy to be king" Max said. Frederick stroked his head again.

"Is there anyone else you recommend being my replacement for?" ask Frederick.

"Kezia's a better fit, Dad. He was firm, although he still needed a lot of guidance from Father and Mother" Max replied.

"I thought you'd nominate Nero."

"She doesn't want to deal with politics. Plus.he's already in love with someone," Max replied hesitantly. Frederick was happy to hear it, while Nero was shocked and his face was instantly red.

"really? Who is the girl of his heart?" tanyanya enthusiastic.

"Hey, don't talk to you again!" sahut Nero's.

"Uhh..the Witch of the Respher," Max replied. Instead of being angry, Frederick put on a smile to hear it.

"Max! Shut up, bucket mouth!" sahut Nero's.

"Yes. Soft and charming. Even he was the Great Priest at Respher," said Max. Frederick laughed at hearing that.

"Well, if he's in love, let that love flourish. Nero, you have to bring it to me one day. I'd like to meet my son-in-law, by the way" Frederick said. Nero frowned, but his face was still red like a boiled crab.

"What about you, Max?"

"What, Dad?" max was confused.

"Woman, duh," complained Frederick.

"I haven't..."

"There! He's got a..hey!" his words were interrupted when Max pinched him. "You just leaked it, when I can't?"

"Shut up, you're sure anyway, I haven't" Max replied grumpily. The two were even engrossed in tension, while Frederick was just engrossed in watching. As soon as Ren returned, they instantly silent a thousand languages.

"Have you finished talking?" ask Ren.

"Already," answered the three in unison. Ren chuckled and showed off Kezia who had fallen asleep in his arms.

"Let's rest, everyone must be tired" said Ren.

"Ah, I'm still busy, Mom. I'll catch up later," said Nero.

"Me too" chirped Max.

"I still have to finish the royal business, honey. You go get some rest first" Frederick said. Ren nodded and walked out with his daughter, while the others sighed.

"Almost," murmured Frederick. "I don't want to deal with my wife about the next heir to the throne."

"Why? Isn't Kezia also able to carry that responsibility?" ask Nero.

"While he can, he still needs to learn a lot. You know how fussy he is when his wishes are not fulfilled" replied Frederick. Nero laughed awkwardly hearing it, while Max put on a flat expression.

"It's night, go to bed. I'm pretty sure you're lying about 'other jobs'. Good night," said Frederick. They both nodded and left the king alone. Before Frederick got up from his place, a foreign scent invaded his sense of smell. He looked at the window and stood up.

"You know I don't like intruders, so come out and show yourself" Frederick said. The sound of footsteps began to sound from outside, then a tall figure in black robes moved closer to Frederick undaunted. He clasped his hood and smelled a smile.

"Good night, Your Majesty. Introduce, I'm Dark," he said cheerfully, but tucked in arrogance in it.

"I never received a guest this late, and again it turned out to be a witch. What do you want?" ask Frederick coldly. Dark chuckled, but the grin still did not fade from his face.

"Please don't be so stiff, Your Majesty. I'm here just to give an invitation to the royal family and its people" Dark said, showing off a jet-black invitation with silver ink on it. Frederick did not budge, but his gaze was fixed on the invitation. Dark put the invitation back in his pocket and looked at Frederick.

"His Majesty the King looks uninterested, is that a rejection?" ask Dark.

"There's no reason for me to accept it from a suspicious person like you" Frederick said. Dark put on a faint smile hearing it.

"Oh, even without this invitation I can confirm that everyone here is present at the event" Dark said arrogantly. Frederick simply raised his eyebrows, doubting the nonsense Dark was throwing.

"It's a lot of confidence for an intruder like you. You've never cut his tongue?"

"Ah, I've already almost died at the hands of the son of His Majesty the King," Dark replied proudly. "I won't die as long as my heart doesn't break first."

"Then I'd better destroy that heart" Frederick said as he jumped up quickly and choked Dark, but a familiar voice left him a little surprised.

"Don't forget that I am a witch, Your Majesty the King. I could have made hundreds or even thousands of clones for His Majesty to slaughter," Dark said as he sat on the throne seat with both feet on the backrest. The dark that was in Frederick's grasp slowly melted and disappeared just like that.

"It turns out I underestimated you" Frederick said. Dark just laughed, but stopped when Max and Nero ran in with their guns.

"You're alive?!" max is upset. Dark grinned and stood up while stretching out his hands.

"You can see I'm fine, my friend. Thank you for showing me the door to the afterlife" Dark said cheerfully. Max is fed up and almost lunges, but Frederick gets in the way. "From what I've seen, it looks like you survived my black magic huh?"

"Thank you I almost died, asshole," Max growled. Dark laughed so hard that tears fell on his cheeks. He wiped the tears and walked over, making them alert and pointing their weapons at him.

"Is it because of the kindness of my future wife?" ask Dark. Max's face glazed over to hear it.

"..what did you say?" max mumbled. "Wife candidate?"

"Yes, my future wife. You know him, don't you?" said Dark. Max tries to attack, but Nero stops him from behind.

"GET OFF! LET ME KILL THAT WITCH!"

"Max, relax! He's just provoking you! Don't waver!" sahut Nero while continuing to detain his brother who began to rebel. Dark laughed so hard that he coughed.

"Are you angry for calling her a future wife? Jealousy?" goda Dark's.

"Suckers! Come here so I can chop off your head!" max is becoming. Frederick patted hard on the nape of his neck until unconscious.

"Take him away, Nero. I'll handle this man myself" Frederick said. Nero nodded and took her away, but she left the Undine with her father. Frederick gave a smile and looked at Dark with strong killing intent.

"Okay, is Your Majesty angry with me? Want to kill me as he wants?" goda Dark's.

"Maybe, but killing you just like that won't be exciting. I think starting with breaking a leg and a hand would be exciting" Frederick said. Dark goosebumps delightedly, yet he began to put on a calm expression as if he had no intention of attacking.

"It's a pity, Your Majesty, my visiting time is up. I still have other work to do. See you at the festival" he said, flicking his fingers and disappearing behind a puff of smoke. After making sure the smell was no longer there, he sighed. He immediately acts quickly by tightening the guard that has the best sense of smell in order to detect the presence of an approaching enemy.

"Who exactly is the intended wife to make Max angry? Is it possible..girl adoration of his heart?" murmured Frederick. He walked into the palace and rested, accompanied by the Undine who installed a palace-high water wall around the palace.
