45 The King Arrives! Pt 2 (1/2)
Turning back to look at the Emperor, then to survey the room once more, he decided it was time to address these people. Walking back to the long table he took the seat at the opposing end staring at Emperor Vanya. Facing the room with his team at his back, it now appeared he sat at the head of the table!
”Emperor Vanya, to me it was only 4 days ago I saw you as a child and watched you grow up. I remember you and the previous Emperor at Kata's and my wedding. The young Emperor, aiming to be me…”
It was now time for Emperor Vanya to be shocked to his feet!
”Yes, one and the same. Many hundreds of years have pa.s.sed. But how DARE YOU TRY TO MARRY MY WIVES OFF!!”
BANG!!
Slamming his fist on the table as his pupils started turning RED! At that moment his wives walked over to him and Lagina started rubbing his shoulders gently to calm him down.
The room watched as his rage bubbled but slowly simmered to a cool as his attentive wives calmed him down. In wonder, they stared at them and Vanya was no different, as he was at a loss for words watching his daughters tend to Hittan like the good wife, conflicted.
”But I can forgive this, as you were unaware and acted out of the goodwill of your heart, for the sake of… Gilead. As for you four, I can forgive your ignorance on this matter but the other issue may cost you your lives!”
”What do you mean our lives? How have we offended your Village?” As General Abbe spoke he eyed Cadman.
”I have no clue what he's talking about!” Responding to Abbe stare Cadman defended himself.
”You four have offended my wife! I'm not sure exactly what you did but the feelings she's sharing with me each time she looks at you is one of anger! Lagina, what did they do?”
At that moment the whole room looked to Lagina with interest as she was about to give her testimony.
”They… honey, please don't overreact okay. They…”
”We mistakenly threw wine at her, but we thought she was the maid! We never intended to disrespect her like that!” Nervously, Cadoc offered his version of the truth before Lagina could explain.
”Really, you didn't intend to throw wine in my face? I'm surprised that at your strength level I could sneak up on you in an open garden area.” Trying to cover up the problem by lying angered Lagina even further and pushed her to completely shut down their storey. But realising that she may have triggered Hittan she immediately got in front of him to rea.s.sure him it was a minor issue and he didn't need to kill anyone.
”I was upset in the moment but I'm fine now, see?”
”I won't kill them, rest a.s.sured. But they will have to be taught a lesson for their crimes.”
”If not for the Village behind you, do you think you could have such confidence before us?! You claim to be Gilead himself, but what I see is a weak little boy who is living off the strength of others!” Unable to take the repeated insults and utter disregard by an unknown boy that was no older than 6 years old Cadman snapped!
”General!” As Vanya made the attempt to stop the General Hittan simply raised his hands to stop him.
”I see. Like father like son. As for you General Abbe, what say you on this matter? Do you also agree with General Cadman?”
”I will have to revisit disciplinary actions within the clan. It seems I have truly let my daughter down.”
”You at least know how to correct a mistake and do the honourable thing. But I'll be handling the disciplinary actions in this situation. Emperor Vanaya, let us take this little meeting to the sky as I would hate to have my wife's legacy damaged.”
”Do you really think your mere 2,562,500 units of power amplified by any hidden means will be enough to beat either of us? Haha!” Cadoc proudly dismissed Hittan power level.
The members of his team behind him were shocked to hear that his base power was already 2.5 million units! A level of power that he achieved after re-living 7 plus years of his Alicorn life gaining the full understanding of the Light elemental power.
”Boy, do not interrupt a King when he speaks unless you're willing to put your clan's extinction on the line.”
The advice was something Cadman himself had to agree with as he saw that Emperor Vanya was extremely displeased with his son's outburst!
Bowing to the Emperor, Cadman was the first to stand and walk to the balcony with his son close behind him.
…
With the entire group now floating in the sky. Cadoc and Cairo were discussing who would face Hittan first and whether or not there would be a need for a second fight!
”Cadoc, I'll go first. I doubt he can muster enough strength for me to release all my abilities. Ever since I broke through to the Demi - G.o.dbeast rank no one has been able to match me in our age group, except for you.”
”Yes, it's been hard finding people strong enough to match us, since our advancement.”
”You seem to be mistaken about something, young ones. I do not plan to waste my time by fighting with you one on one. Both of you step forward and unleash your full strength or you will die.”
BANG!
BANG!
