187 Battle of Romila Village Part Three (1/2)

Hearing Burgec's words Alicia asked: ”What do you mean 'that thing he found'?”

Burgec, let out a sigh as he looked at Alicia contemplating on whether or not he should say anything. He glanced at Princess Sola who nodded her head at him, only then did he open his mouth. ”Princess Alicia may we have a seat, this might take a while.”

”Yes, of course.” Alicia said as the group moved to a nearby building. They all sat down at a large table where Burgex began to tell Alicia everything he knew.

In short, his story went as so... The king of the Beast Kingdom Kirgux Margix had gone out to search a cave that appeared when…

”So this is the place! Men clear the entrance, this King wants to go on an adventure haha!” The Beastmen King yelled out joyfully.

The beastmen behind him quickly did as they were told and went to work clearing the rocks that were blocking the cave entrance. The previous night a rainstorm passed through and a fiery ball of light fell from the sky and crashed to the ground. They found nothing strange about the area it crashed into except for a small crater. But within that crater, an ancient cave was uncovered.

Being who he was, the beast king quickly set out to check out this ancient cave. Which brought him to where he was now.

The beastmen quickly removed the rocks blocking the entrance within only an hour. The beast king's eyes lit up with excitement as he quickly entered the cave.

”I do not know what happened while in the cave, the ones who entered with him did not come out. Only the Beastmen King did and his clothes were in tatters. But he did have one item in his hand when he exited the cave. It was a black cube, and his highness refused to let go of the cube and still to this day will not let anyone else touch it.

”It was after that, that he started ordering me to bring my army and attack the nations of the south and it was also then that the demonic plagues, as you called them, started to appear.” Burgec let out another long sigh as he finished. It was a helpless sigh since he could only follow orders.

”When did the Beastmen King find this cube?” Alicia asked.

”This was a few years back… Since then his way of thinking has slowly started to change.” Burgec answered.

”Yes, my father started to change since the day that he came back from that cave. Also… People within the palace also started to go missing.” Princess Sola added.

”I see...” After hearing everything Alicia went into deep thought. You did not need to be a smart person to understand what was going on. ”Commander Burgec I have one question for you.”

”Please ask, Princess Alicia.”

”If you had a choice of saving your kingdom, even if it meant going against your kingdom, what would you do?” Alicia asked.
