Liatart walks around, surveys the nearby forest, he enter the forest and walks around the whole area as the sun starts to set. Liatart finds a good spot near a river. He started a fire and lay near it, leaning on the tree to rest.
Then he noticed that the injury from the tunnel was starting to bleed again under the dry blood covering his injury. Liatart touched it, and his body immedatiately jerk his body from touching it due to intense pain,
He leaned on the tree, relaxing his arm, even though it was still bleeding, as his eyes started to close due to exhaustion.
As Liatart sleeps, a faint noise comes from afar due to the pain in his arm. Liatart is unable to make sense of the noise. Almost a few moments later, the noise gets a little louder, immediately jerking Liatart's body, he stands up immediately and looks around, then in the corner of his eyes. He sees a finger moving.
At that split second, his essence takes over, and he flashes a powerful magic toward it.
The magic burns and pierces through everything it touches, then the magic goes to the ground, creating a big tunnel the same size as the big wells.
As he started to realize his mistake, a deer for a person, Liatart took a deep breath. But the magic was still digging deep into the ground. He then canceled the magic and sat back down, as the forest flashed by, the magic was still burning.
Liatart tries to clear his mind and listen to the faint noise again, and it's just a bird screaming that is slightly similar to a human screaming.
Liatart felt a little dizzy, he rubbed the back of his neck as it felt like a heavy object had just hit the back of his neck, the slight headache managed to help clear his mind from overthinking.
Liatart sat down, he grabbed more wood and threw it to the fire, as it burned brighter, he stared at the fire until his body became too exhausted and too tired, the moment he closed his eyes.
He fell asleep almost right away. Then it day time. Liatart wake up
Liatart: It's already noon, I must have slept like a dead man ( in quiet mumbling tone )
King Juvian calls for an immediate meeting with all royal family members,
Juvian stood up. He looked at Erefeild nervously, but he kept himself strong. Then White stands up and taps Juvian on his back.
White sat back down, and King Juvian started his speed.
King Juvian: As all of you have been informed. I am now officially taking office, and my first order is to declare war on drug trafficking in our beloved Kingdom.
Everyone is shocked and speechless, some mumbling among themselves, and some look at Erefeild.
Erefeild just sat, looking at Juvian with his expressionless face. almost as if he zones out on the meeting
But then one of the nobleman look Erefeild, he grew frustrated but kept his anger to himself despite the order of the king. So he argues back at the King, thinking he can do something.
Nobleman Jolan: But Your majesty, we do not have the necessary infrastructure or any skill resources to handle such an operation
King Juvian: You do not need to concern yourself. Lord Jolan, the Lappen Family, and I will be overseeing this operation personally.
Jolan started to feel desperate. He started to sweat, and King Juvian fought back.
Nobleman Jolan: But you can't do that, your majesty, it requires the specialty of each house to work
King Juvian: I must ask you not to make me repeat by myself
Nobleman Jolan: But it is true, your majesty. Let me handle the operation; surely Lord Erefeild would agree.
Then White stands up.
Lord White: Enough, Jolan. It is the order of his majesty. Are you doubting his authority?
Noleman Jolan: What are you implying? I am just trying to suggest the best possible solution.
Lord White: The King has made it clear that this is the responsibility of the Lappen family, and we will be doing a joint cooperation with the Maefen Family to handle this operation
Nobleman Jolan starts to panic but tries not to make himself look desperate. So he turned to Erefeild to join his side.
Nobleman Jolan: Lord Erefeild, please say something, my Lord
The moment Nobleman Jolan touches Erefeild's arm, He immediatley look at Nobleman Jolan with his cold eyes.
King Juvian sees Erefeild roll his eyes to look at Nobleman Jolan, immediately sending a slight shockwave over his body,
White looks at Erefeild intensely and is ready to counter anything that Erefeild might try to deflect at him.
Then another nobleman who sat next to Erefeild whispered to Erefeild, "Please, my lord, do something. We're all in serious trouble if you don't assist us."
Erefeild, look at King Juvian,
Lord Erefeild: I am Erefeild Maefen, Head of the Maefen Family are here to pledge full support to the operation
Juvian and White are shocked, and the noblemen are speechless, as they find themselves struggling to process what just came out of Erefeild's mouth.
Nobleman Jolan: This is insanity
King Juvian is confused as he has no word to say
King Juvian: Then I suppose we can call an end to our meeting. I thank you for Lord Erefeild and everyone here.
Many of the royal family members stood up and clapped, while some, such as nobleman Jolan, didn't stand up due to stress and pressure taking over their heads.
As they look around, seeing most of the royal family stand up, they also stand up, clapping as well.
White observes them and notices that the royal family members, such as nobleman Jolan, are clapping aggressively and faster than others, then he looks at Erefeild.
Erefeild is also slapping, but his eye is looking at the table instead of Juvian; his claps are slower and look calmer than others.
As Erefeild walked in the hallway by himself, He suddenly heard someone calling his name. When he turned around, it was White calling as he walked toward him.
White asks Erefeild as he is breathing heavily, from walking too fast.
Lord Erefeild: What do you want?
Lord White: I know you are scheming something
Lord Erefeild: And what kind of clue gives you the idea that I had ill intentions?
Lord White: Because I know you, Feild, I know you long enough to understand what you are
Erefeild's expression changed; he looked at White intensely, clenching his teeth. Erefeild felt this annoyance and frustration in him.
Erefeild grab White cloth aggressively.
Lord Erefeild: You barely know anything about me, and how dare you say such a thing, White? (Anger Tone)
Then Erefeild pushes White backward, causing him to fall down. White then looks at Erefeild from the ground, and he sees something,
Erefeild's hand was flickering, shaking slightly, and his eye became emotional as he struggled to control his expression.
Lord White: Feild, You are?
Erefeild relaxed his face and looked at White.
Lord Erefeild: You know, White. You, Geithner, and Marcus are the people that I feel so close to right now. all this time, and after what I have done to Geithner, you somehow still have the small part of you to get through to me, and I want to make it very clear to you that it is useless; the idea of me accepting your forgiveness will forever create a massive wound in my soul
Lord White: Geithner has already long put all of that behind him; just let it go.
Lord Erefeild: It's not only him, (Shouting) that is not the only thing. If I were to confess now, you would have stood up and killed me right here, White. But not right now, after I have gone so far
Lord White: What?
Lord Erefeild: You have gain confident, haven't you, White? But it will also be your mistake, a mistake that will cost you dearly. This operation is the perfect chance for me to prove to you just how powerless you, the king, and everyone are. You said you understand me, you only know Erefeild, but what you don't know is Lord Erefeild Maefen, Head of the Maefen family, and because of that is what makes you never understand me. I can demonstrate to you just how much control and power I have over this country.
