122 Kingdom Agoria (2/2)
But the first thing he needed to do was exterminate all the bandits who were plaguing this kingdom. thinking about every problem in Agoria, and his men finally reached the capital. Surprisingly there were no guards at the city gates or even inside the old watchtowers.
Don opened the main gate by sending a wave of air and water at the wooden gate. The rain was still pouring down constantly like an endless bucket of water being poured down from the heavens.
Usually in weather like this, children would dance and play outside with their friends but there was anything like that but Don felt like he stepped into a ghost town.
The city had built with neither proper city planning nor enthusiasm for architecture. Every building looked like it was built with a rush and unfinished. And far away from the old worn building, there stood the castle of King Garreth. The houses of the people and the castle looked exact opposites as the castle looked elegant and grand.
While on his way to the castle, occasionally Don could see the glances of the people inside the houses. Eventually, when they got closer to the castle, Don saw a couple of guards for the first time after entering the city.
”Who are you people?”
Arrora was unable to guess whether the guard was shivering due to cold or seeing the five hundred men in before him in black armor.
”Hey, what's happening? Oh”
Another guard came out of somewhere but when he saw Don and his men, he was startled.
The two guards even tried to take out their spears and aim at Don before the dwarves sent them flying with their shield.
And hearing the scream of their fellow guards, more guards came out of their huts but seeing the number of soldiers standing behind Don, they stepped back and dropped their weapons without even being asked.
”King Don”
As he got closer to the castle entrance, Don heard a familiar voice calling him as he turned to see Lord Clemo running towards him.
”So his majesty Garreth...”
Lord Clemo had already guessed the answer as a couple of men came carrying the bodies of King Garreth and Jowan and placed them before Lord Clemo
Surprisingly there was no grief in Lord Clemo's eyes but relief and a hint of joy. Lord Clemo was certainly not going to lose any sleep because of King Garreth and Jowan's demise.
”Do what you want with them”
As Don said, he walked into the castle leaving the bodies to be dealt with by Lord Clemo and the guards outside.
After ordering the men to give a proper burial to King Garreth and Jowan, Lord Clemo came to the throne hall to see Don was already sitting on it while Arrora was standing behind him
”So King Garreth has any relatives besides Jowan?”
”No, your majesty”
Since Don killed King Garreth and Prince Jowan and currently sitting on the throne without anyone to oppose him, Lord Clemo had no choice but to accept him as the new King of Agoria.
”Although...”
”What?”
”The spymaster Cassek,he and King Garreth was pretty close and now thinking about it, I didn't see him since King Garreth left the castle to Korrinth”
”Arrora send your team after Cassek, I don't want him hindering my plans for Agoria”
”As you wish”
Arrora stepped away from Don and Clemo to contact her team through the Khal as Lord Clemo awkwardly stood before Don
”Relax, Lord Clemo.I'm not going to kill you unless you give me a reason to”
Lord Clemo almost wet his pants when he heard Don as he quickly shook his head
”Your majesty, I'm just an ambassador, I'm not worth killing, I'm not even married yet”
Don didn't expect this from Lord Clemo and he didn't want to terrify Lord Clemo anymore as he changed the topic
”Call every minister and nobles in the kingdom, I want to meet them as the first thing tomorrow”
