145 The Enarin Kingdom and the Gathering (2/2)
”Alright, tell Knight about this gathering and meet me here soon, we should leave tomorrow morning”
It was a good opportunity and time to meet the other kings as well as expanding the name of Everlight. Moreover, since Emir and Agoria became part of Everlight, they had to be considered as one kingdom, the kingdom of Everlight. And after constructing a road connecting Agoria and Emir, traveling between the two kingdoms would feel less like they were separate kingdoms.
After returning from the dungeon, Don was also thinking about renaming Emir and Agoria as Kingdom Dawn of Everlight and Kingdom Azur of Everlight. These renaming of two kingdoms had to be done as a massive to reach everywhere and everyone, declaring the name of Kingdom Everlight even more and at that point, he had to have some relation with other kings so they could be invited to the ceremony because currently, he had more enemies than allies.
”Your majesty”
As Don was thinking about this, Lord Clemo came looking for him
”Your majesty, are you attending the funeral?”
”Who died?”
”Cassek and Tisha your majesty, Lamar's sister”
Lord Clemo was surprised when he heard Don's question as their murder was the hot topic in the kingdom and the guards were still searching for the killer
”Why would I attend that? Cassek was a trash and that girl was no better than him, she was in it all the time”
”WHAT?!”
Clemo was shocked to hear such accusation on that innocent little girl
”She was Cassek's sweetheart, Lord Clemo, I captured them both in the last bandit camp and threw them in the dungeon”
It was a lot to take in for Lord Clemo as he never thought that she would be Cassek's lover since she acted like a victim all the time and the story he heard about that she was kidnapped and lost her finger made him really feel pity for Tisha.
”Don't speak about this with anyone, Lord Clemo, and keep an eye on Lamar”
”Yes, your majesty”
”What do you know about the Enarin kingdom, Lord Clemo?”
”It said to be the most powerful kingdom amongst the rank fours, your majesty not to mention they are crazy rich”
”Take a seat and tell me more”
Lord Clemo sat on the seat allocated for him as Don seated himself on the throne
”Enarin acts as the leader for smaller kingdoms in this part of the empire your majesty, of course, it's not a written law but since its the strongest kingdom, others should or have to listen to them” Lord Cleo paused for a moment
”Your majesty, can I ask why you're suddenly interested in Enarin?”
”I've just got the invitation to attend a gathering at Enarin ”
”Gathering? Weird” Lord Clemo rubbed his chin
”Usually the gathering would be held every five years and it's only three years from the last gathering but anyways, your majesty, are you attending?”
”What do you think? Should I go?”
”Huh?”
Lord Clemo frowned and had a doubtful look on his face as he couldn't guess Don was asking his opinion seriously or he was just playing with him
”I think you should attend, your majesty”
”And why is that?”
Don wanted to get Lord Clemo's perspective on this matter since he had more experience around here than him
”Everyone's heard about you, your majesty but no one has seen you except king Harold so this might be a great opportunity to show your face” Lord Clemo explained as he continued
”Also your majesty, as you may know, you have to mingle with other kings, strike an alliance and keep them close to rule the kingdom smoothly, we don't know when we need an alley or two”
”Why don't you come with me, Lord Clemo? I lack the experience in this kind of politics”
Lord Clemo never imagined that DOn would admit it because he had already guessed that Don lack the experience in politics or he wouldn't have demolished the noble title and killed Lord Ryan and Massen but he couldn't show his thoughts on his face
” no, your majesty, you don't lack anything”
”Come on, Lord Clemo, you don't have to lie, I know I don't have experience in politics but I'm willing to learn and you seem like a good teacher”
Hearing the compliment from Don, Lord Clemo felt fearless for a moment as he grinned ear to ear
”You overpraising me, your majesty”
It felt different and nice to Lord Clemo to talk with Don without having an urge to throw up or fear for his life for once and he was beginning to think that Don has another side to him
”And I'm honored to accompany you in the gathering of the kings, your majesty”
