51 51. Meeting Of The Higher-Ups Part 1 (1/2)

It was two days after the duel between Rogen and Venjie. Rogen has fully recovered his strength, but he still has some bruises, left in his body especially in his head after receiving multiple headbutts. He has still some bandages covering some parts of his body.

Rogen was preparing for the meeting that will happen today, at the royal palace. He was wearing his clothes, he wore a well-tailored expensive suit. He looked at the mirror and saw his left cheek covered with a bandage. He said to himself, [ Well at least I couldn't look worse.]

Rogen then was followed by Sgt. Paul, and Cpl. Vohein, as his escorts and bodyguards. The trio got in the humvee and went straight to the Palace. Alvarez, on the other hand, wrote his daily written report with his diary.

At the Palace several carriages we're entering the gate which was all accompanied by their knights. All the carriages we're luxurious and had their own crest embedded in the doors and back.

King Danilo, Prime Minister, and Prince Eric were all waiting for the carriages passengers to get out. They were also accompanied by maids while they were waiting.

The first carriage stops in front of them, a chubby man with curly blonde hair, with blonde mustache got out of the carriage. The man looks in his fifties, but you can see in his eyes that he still had a lot of energy.

Danilo immediately greeted, ” Welcome Duke Rafael, I have been waiting for your arrival. I haven't seen you since birthday last year.”

Duke Rafel replied in a very jolly voice, ” Well I have been quite busy this year, so I haven't been able to visit you too much.”

Danilo replied, ”That's ok my friend I'm sure you have done great things of you've been that active in your work. I'm glad that you came as we have a very important guest today.”

Danilo called one of the maids and told her, ” Please escort Duke Rafael to the meeting room immediately.”

The second carriage stopped, and a man that has a height of 6 feet and 8 inches tall got out, the man had red hair and scars on his face. The man was also in his sixties, he had a quite scary looking face because of his scars.

Danilo greeted the man, ” Welcome general Argus, thank you for showing up in this meeting.”

General Argus spoke, ” I heard that son of yours has done something stupid. I also heard he got defeated by a stick-wielding man. How shameful it is for the knight academy I as the headmaster of that school is very ashamed of Prince Venjie's defeat. I accepted this to see the man who defeated the Venjie with a stick.”

Another carriage arrived, and what got ou is a woman, who had light blue hair, sapphire eyes, and pale skin. The woman was quite beautiful she was in her thirties but look like in her twenties. Even with her beauty, she lacked a lot of assets you know what I mean.

King Danilo greeted again, ”Welcome Duke Lyra, I have been expecting that you would arrive. How is your father duke Arno, is he still enjoying his retirement from his service?”

Lyra replied, ” He is totally enjoying the freedom of having no worries about ruling a fiefdom, he is enjoying himself while I am reading various problems in the fief he enjoys traveling the entire continent. I haven't been able to focus on my love life, as my former fiancee almost killed me.”

King Danilo called a maid as he didn't want to hearLyra's rantings about her life. King Danilo sighed in relief after Lyra disappeared.

He then continued to greet the coming higher-ups, all the higher-ups have arrived after one hour. King Danilo was only waiting for Rogen, after a few minutes Rogen arrived in a humvee.

King Danilo spoke, ” Sir Rogen welcome back, all the most influential people in the kingdom are here. I have gathered them to see what are you and Eric's proposal. If they approved of it the implementation of our plans will easier as no one will be a hindrance.”
