Chapter 108 - Chapter 17: Test #7 (2/2)
Green Wind nodded with a despairing expression and disappeared.
”Well, is it over now?”
Felicia asked, and Amita nodded. They had shown the result of White Eagle, and there was nothing else to share with In-gong’s party.
”Okay, then let’s go back to the reception room to prepare it for guests. Today, we’ll have to be fully prepared for the tea party.”
It was only a couple of hours before the concubine children would come to visit.
Felicia clapped and got everyone’s attention, then said to In-gong,
”Shutra, do you understand that you are the protagonist today?”
”I know.”
His status window also said that he was the protagonist.
The party hurried out of the workshop.

The day passed quickly.
The concubine children who followed Felicia and Chris weren’t the only ones who attended the tea party. The concubine children who had been deeply interested in In-gong for a few months visited the mansion as well.
Of course, this was through invitation, so it went through some type of screening process. The potential spies, such as Cadaroph who had been with Daphne the other day, couldn’t attend the tea party.
Felicia had made the purpose of the tea party clear,
“The tea party today is just for introductions. Think of it as the process of identifying who is standing on our side. Of course, you should also be aware that you are the head of our faction.”
It made sense to make bonds by talking to the people who belonged to the faction and impress the people who followed Felicia and Chris.
The afternoon tea party was short and sweet. It ran for only two hours, but they had been able to accomplish all their purposes.
‘Blood Knight Silas.’
Along with Daphne, he was the only one of the concubine children who needed to be obtained.
He would be leaving with Chris tomorrow. It was a bit unfortunate that he was following Chris and not In-gong, but that wasn’t a problem at all. After all, following Chris was the same as being in In-gong’s faction.
The next morning arrived.
As promised, Amita appeared before Silvan, who had spent the night in In-gong’s residence.
”Here.”
Amita seemed more tired than usual. They handed a sword in a plain sheathe to Silvan.
“Thank you.”
Silvan swallowed his saliva and pulled out the sword slowly. A silver sword resembling the sword duke’s, without any decorations, was revealed.
Silvan gazed at the sword with a fascinated expression, but Felicia started frowning. Compared to the White Eagle she had seen yesterday, Silvan’s sword was too shabby.
”Amita, does Silvan’s sword have something like an ability to combine or transform?”
”What type of sword would have the ability to transform? It is just a sword!”
Amita slammed their tail against the ground.
'No, why would a shield have transformation elements?’
In-gong had the same thoughts as Felicia but decided to hold back. Silvan’s expression was filled with pure joy as he held the sword.
Silvan swung the sword through the air like a person possessed by something. The blade of the sword cutting through the air was very light.
Amita asked with a smile,
“How is it?”
“Good. Really... it is good.”
There were no other words to express it.
‘Just a sword.’
It existed for the basic purpose of stabbing the enemy.
Amita’s words were true; the other features weren’t needed.
Silvan was satisfied with this sword. That could be seen the moment he held it in his hand. It was a feeling that gave him goosebumps.
It was a sword that could be wielded freely, like an extension of his body.
For others, it was just a good sword.
However, this sword was tailored for Silvan. It was a perfectly coordinated sword that could only reveal its true value in Silvan’s hands.
”I see that you’ve figured out the truth. It was worthwhile to create this for you.”
Amita laughed heartily, and Silvan shed tears of excitement.
“And 9th Prince.”
Amita turned toward In-gong with a somewhat uneasy expression.
“There is still a bit of fine adjustment needed for Earth Quaker. Can you perhaps wait half a day? The work is almost over, but I need time...”
They had stayed up all night, but it seemed like it was impossible to finish on time.
In-gong nodded.
“It’s okay, Amita. You don’t have to worry because we are going together.”
“Hu, yes. Then wait just half a day... What?”
Amita jumped with surprise. In-gong spoke with a casual expression,
”You will go with me on the mission and can make the readjustments then. I’ve already asked the last flame.”
”Uh, when?! When on earth?”
”Yesterday, shortly after leaving the workshop...”
In-gong laughed.
He had originally intended to take Amita, even if Earth Quaker’s adjustment wasn’t late. Amita still had a lot of equipment to make, so why should they stay at the Demon King’s Palace.
However, Amita couldn’t accept reality. They waved both of their hands, and their eyes shook violently.
“Ah, no. The last flame wouldn’t have done that!”
Then one hour later, in front of the transport formation...
“The last flame...”
Amita carried a large bag on their back, just like at Spider Forest, and sat on the ground like someone who had lost their country.
In-gong and his party greeted each other while neglecting Amita.
The first one was Chris, who was heading to the south with Silas.
”Go safely.”
“Yes, look after Caitlin and Felicia noonim.”
In-gong smiled at Chris while Felicia pouted.
”You should be asking me, me.”
She whined, but her eyes were smiling. Chris said pleasantly,
”Noonim is sometimes quietly selfless. Don’t overdo it.”
”I won’t overdo it.”
Felicia covered her face with a fan while replying. After laughing, Chris patted Caitlin’s head and said goodbye.
As Chris and Silas moved through the transport formation, Felicia looked back at everyone.
”Then is it our turn?”
Silvan was scheduled to leave on the Black Flame Dragon. The other royal children had gone to their respective areas through the transport formation, and now only In-gong’s party was left.
“I’m going, Oppa.”
”Yes, Felicia. Stay safe until we meet again. And Shutra, please look after Felicia.”
In-gong nodded and held out his hand to Silvan for a handshake. Felicia covered her face again, but this time she was laughing.
In-gong, Caitlin and Felicia stood next to each other on the transport formation, followed by Daphne, Karma, Delia and Seira.
Carack grabbed Amita’s neck and lifted them up.
”Raccoon person, I’ll make sure that you are comfortable.”
Amita waved their hands and legs after being lifted by Carack, but it was useless.
In-gong smiled at Amita, then let out a breath.
There was a mission outside the Demon King’s Palace...
And there would be confrontation between the Death Knight and the Demon King’s Palace.
There was also Zephyr who had left for Haragal...
And Vandal and Nayatra who he would meet in the future.
In-gong suddenly looked around. As promised, In-gong looked at Caitlin.
A red light shone from the floor.
There was a bit of noise, and the transport formation activated.
