Looking over to team New Hope, Hittan gave a smile to greet their shocked faces! Clearly, Hittan had s.h.i.+elded them from his Supernova release. But the claim to be unbeatable below G.o.dbeast was a very big shock to recover from!
”I'll be right with you, Grandfather. Let me address my team for a bit.”
”Okay.”
”Guys, stop with the weird expressions.”
”Wow!” Valencia was now thoroughly impressed with Hittan and had to say it in her own way.
”Hittan, you are so secretive!”
”Ona, I did tell you what rank I was at.”
”Brother, you sure are sneaky!”
”Haha, okay. I'll make sure you all know what my true strength is in the next group sparring match!”
”Wait, Boss! We didn't mean it like that, it was a compliment! If you're going to be our King you need to expect praises!”
”Haha, I get it, I get it. Team, I want to thank you for your treatment of Kaia and Kaija in making them feel welcomed. Also, I would like to ask another favour of you all.”
”Just say it, man.” Edan playfully slapped him on the shoulder while urging him to continue.
”I would like you all to refer to me as your brother and not any other t.i.tle. Some things may change in the village, I hope not between us. We have a long way to go together and I don't need barriers like a t.i.tle affecting that.”
”We would be honoured, brother.” Sahar smiled at her first use of this kind of address towards. .h.i.ttan.
”Haha!” The rest of the team laughed at her awkwardness.

”Welcome Hittan, please have a seat.”
”Thank, Elder Aaron.”
Hittan also noted his parents in the room along with most of the Elders currently in the village. The others, if not out on missions or patrol, were currently dealing with the aftermath of his attack on the Great Hall.
Both his grandparents were also there and he could see on their faces that they were a bit helpless in whatever was about to come. It was then that Hittan's mother came forward.
”Son, the village Elders have come to a conclusion that though you have expressed a desire to wed both Princesses of the Alicorn Empire. It will not be enough to unite the country and planet. They are of the opinion that a marriage to the clan with the largest population along with the union to the religious symbol of Gilead, would place you and the village in a better light. This they believe to be especially true as it relates to deterring any unnecessary conflicts when the time comes to unify the country.
You should be aware that the religious symbol of the country is the Alicorn Empire. Primarily for their healing light power. As for the largest population...
”Sorry to interrupt mother. But this is about Lagina of the Emerald Clan correct?”
”Yes, how did you know?”
