Chapter 511 - Fawkes Family (1/2)

Leonel's voice came out with an undeniable edge to it.

Those glasses, with his skill as a Force Crafter, he could easily see through their abilities. Even if this young man wasn't necessarily using it in a perverted manner, Leonel had no intention on relying on his 'good nature'.

The young man slowly placed his glasses down on the table before them, wiping away the small shards of glass that hadn't managed to pierce his skin. Judging by his expression, one would have never guessed that he had just been humiliated.

His treasure could indeed see through more than what the human eye was capable of. As for whether he was truly planning on using his glasses like this, maybe only he was aware of the answer to that.

The young man looked up from his broken glasses to Leonel, his gaze remaining even. Leonel matched his gaze, not a hint of remorse in his eyes.

”My name is Noah Fawkes, I'm here on behalf of The Empire as the representative of the Fawkes Royal Family.

”This is Jessica Scarlet, she is the representative of the Scarlet Grand Prime Minister family.

”This is Tyrron Dove, he is the representative of the Dove Grand Prime Minister family.”

Noah didn't address the small scuffle between Leonel and Tyrron in the slightest, he made his way forward with introductions without a care.

Leonel turned his gaze from Tyrron, focusing it on his cousin. He had to admit that Noah had perfected the air of a Prince. In this regard, he was far beyond Lionus despite being a few years younger.

”The proposal is simple.” Noah spoke with a royal air, his presence seeming several times larger than his actual stature would dictate. ”Camelot and the Demon Empire will be annexed to become the second moon of Earth. Your status will be that of probationary citizens. Jessica.”

Jessica nodded hearing her name called.

”Probationary citizenship allows you two-thirds the rights of official citizens of Earth. You will be protected by the same laws, however your voting rights are reduced by a third and your punishments are increased by the same measure.

”This status will last until the end of the war wherein you will be instated as official citizens of The Empire. Depending on your performance, you may be conferred a Chief Earl title under the Pendragon name.”

Jessica brought out several drafted documents. They piled up onto the table, totaling at least a few dozen pages.

King Arthur frowned at these words. He didn't like these terms very much at all.

He was essentially tasked with defending what amounted to half a large continent of Earth in return for an … Earl Title?

He might not know what the titles of Earth were and how they compared to Camelot's, but Earl was an easily identifiable title for him. That was enough to tell him that he would have next to no speaking power.

However, instead of lashing out like he wanted to, he remained silent, leaving these matters in Leonel's hands. Since he had already resigned himself to this life, it hardly made a difference. Whether he was an Earl or a Duke, who cared if he was no longer King?

Leonel didn't respond to Noah or Jessica. Instead, he reached for the papers.
