Chapter 308 - The Ark Of The Opposing Party (2/2)
”That wasn't very nice of him, Sir Noble must have been angry.”
”Stubbornly angry as the next day, he sent out a message to look for Minwoo. The future Marquess of the Campania. It was the very first time the Old Chapel had humans around.”
”Then, you've got nothing to do with the Five Kings, then?”
”But I was the one who continued to handle matters under the guidance of Baldwin. After a few years, a year before the Umbra incident, I could decide independently for the Five Kings. As in, Baldwin gave me full permission to activate the Five Kings if the need arises.”
”This also grants me the direct command for the Five Kings. Basically, the Kings answer to me now. I can order them to activate their Domains to prepare for war if need be. And my Ark is the only one that can help them without asking permission from Gillian.”
”That explains why during the Umbra incident your Ark was the only present. The others did not help at all, because you never asked?” asked Bryan, trying to guess the past.
”No. I had a big fight with Ysabeau and Gillian about the Umbras incident and chose to run away. That's when I did my own sting operation under the radar and against Gil's direct instructions. It cause a whole mess since we were late to find out that Benjamin had appeared.”
”More correctly, Benjamin had been in Minwoo for the longest of time, ever since he was in the Five Kings. But back to the point, I operated without their permission. It was only when Benjamin came into the picture that Gillian asked for Z and Baldwin to help.”
”Ah, now I know why the High Queen was going quite harsh on your during that training.”
”That has got nothing to do with the running away part. She has been always merciless and strict when it comes to duels. Anyway, once the opposition parties laid their fingers on the Five Kings,” said Mavislin, turning to look at Rie.
”The Kings handed the whole gang to us,” continued Rie, agreeing with Mavislin.
”More specifically, they challenged Minwoo. All 500 of them. They were armed with different ranges of weapons while Minwoo was armed with the two katanas that Bryan is using. And guess who came out on top,” said Mavislin, shaking her head as she remembered that scene.
