Chapter 361 - The King Arrives (2/2)
”The king's here”
Julia nodded before she then stood up and stretched, then her presence seemed to change slightly before she spoke
”Let's go, Marie, Asma”
Mercury sat back down on the carpet before he muttered
”Priority defense”
The royal guard looked around quickly, she felt like something was watching her from above but all she saw were birds flying overhead, she quickly shook her head before she noticed that Julia now stood next to her with a calm smile on her face she spoke
”Let's not keep the king waiting”
The royal guard nodded before she lead the way towards the lord's mansion, soon they stepped into the plaza, there Ben and Jey stood and waited for Julia and took their positions behind her and followed after her in silence when they arrived at the mansion soon after the royal guard stopped as she sensed that Julia nad the others had stopped following her, she turned around and asked
”What's wrong?”
Julia stood in silence and looked towards the temple that also was located at the main plaza before she eventually sighed and spoke
”We got it under control you know?”
The royal guard was confused for a moment before she felt something, something divine, and kneeled down at once, the next moment an avatar floated out from the entrance of the temple and soon appeared next to Julia, Marie and Asma, then something unexpected happened
”Party!”
[Julia!]
The avatar hugged Julia, then Marie, and finally Asma before it turned its pink eyes towards the royal guard and asked
[What's your name?]
”My name is Jenny”
[Who do you serve?]
”The Klaman island's people, but foremost the king, his highness All”
The avatar showed a faint smile before it looked towards the lord's mansion, then it looked towards the south gate and looked conflicted for a few moments before it decided on something and spoke to Julia
[I'll keep him company… Make sure he gets a fair trial]
Julia nodded, then the avatar snapped its fingers, and Julia was suddenly dressed in a judicator uniform with half her face covered, Julia showed a smile, then the avatar floated down the street towards the south gate, after it was out of view the royal guard stood up and gazed in the direction that the avatar had floated away in before she sighed and spoke
”I'll show you to his majesty now”
Julia nodded before the group followed after the royal guard into the mansion…
Outside the south gate, Mercury sat and meditated when suddenly his eyes were covered from behind as a voice sounded out
[Guess who]
Mercury showed a smile and spoke at once
”Hye Party”
A giggle was heard from behind him before he felt something land in his lap, he opened his eyes and saw Party's pink eyes gazing at him before she leaned closer and smelled him, then she showed a frown and asked
”When did you shower last?”
”Hmm… About a week ago? Yeah right before I went to the academy with Max”
The frown on the avatar soon turned into a smile as it leaned in and hugged Mercury before it commented
[You smell wild]
”Is that bad?”
[No it's very manly]
”I see… Wait that was a lewd comment, wasn't it? That's not very becoming of the divine and noble you?”
The avatar looked straight at Mercury before it burst out laughing
[Ahahahaha! Divine? Noble? Oh my stomach, it hurts ahahahaha!]
”Come on now, that was a compliment...”
[I know… Thank you!]
The two of them was about to share a kiss when there was a cough from the gate, the two of them stopped before they looked over and saw the guardsmen kneeled down in respect for the divine avatar, it was unknown who of them had coughed but Party was clearly peeved and spoke
[Mortals should know when and when not to interrupt me!]
Mercury sighed and patted her on the head to pacify he
