”Your majesty, here' the upgraded version of the Glimmer”
Glimmer was the device Don used to create fake magical fluctuations around him and his men wore the normal version of Glimmer to hide the bound energy signatures.
”It can change the magical fluctuations as you like plus it had better resistance to battle energy than the older one, your majesty”
Just when Don was talking with Ken, he felt a vibration in his hand and he looked into his space ring to see the key to the dungeon shining.
He retrieved the key as a projection appeared from it
”The ancient dungeon will be opened in three days from now at Red Gem mountain of Zenith Kingdom, the champions must bring the key with them to enter the dungeon”
The voice said and disappeared.
”Finally”
Don sighed
”Your majesty, do you need me to craft another set of armors for you?”
”Yes, make it two, she also need one”
Don pointed at Arrora as Ken nodded
”Your majesty, I suggest you wear a different color because if you're going to pose as someone else, you should go with another color”
Ken suggested changing his armor color considering he always wore black and it had become his trademark to wear black.
”As long as it's not pink, yellow, sky blue, or any girly colors, I will wear it”
”I like the sky blue color,” Arrora said.
”You can wear that color, but I won't take you with me”
Ken chuckled when he heard this as Arrora too started to laugh.
”Cat, activate the teleporter”
Don said and disappeared from the throne hall with Ken and Arrora in a flash.
********************************
As usual, Nikalas was working on the array when they appeared.
”Your majesty”
”The dungeon is opening in three days, Nikalas”
Sudden excitement emerged in Nikalas's eyes as this could be the chance to remove the curse on his mother Vivianna.
Don said and started to walk towards the throne hall to meet Knight.
When he entered the throne hall, he noticed the demihumans and elves were busy renovating the throne hall by coating the walls with new paint and fixing the beams and everything.
”I didn't know we are renovating the castle”
Catalie was overseeing the works as she turned to look at him with a wide grin.
”Brother, you're back and Arrora”
”Hey Catalie”
Arrora waved her hand with a smile
”Knight's order brother, he wanted to renovate the castle as he recently found some cracked walls and broken glasses”
”Let's go outside for a moment”
Don couldn't wait to see what has changed in Everlight since he left.
As he stepped out, he saw the lawn is full of beautiful flowers that were just planted before he left. The elven girls were tending to the flower beds as the dwarves were building a new fountain with the help of their fellow citizens.
”We just harvested the crops”
Catalie said and pointed out the empty land where there was a golden paddy field before. And when he laid his eyes on the houses, his eyes went wide in surprise. Every house on the block seemed like it was built for nobles as each house had a unique structure and lawn that made them so pretty and elegant. The dwarves built them just using the common materials they could buy for a rather cheap price and looking at the houses, he decided to allocate more budget for the dwarves in Everlight to build more elegant buildings.
Since the construction works were finished, he could see there's a crowd near the river and the steel chick tavern.
”It seems they have more free time now”
”Your majesty, we can put them to work with our men in Emir, Sigalla, and Agoria”
Ken said.
”Do we have enough masks to cover their identity?”
”Yes, your majesty”
Don had remembered that he ordered Ken to mass-produce the masks and the glimmers.
”Brother, come on, let's take a walk”
Unlike before, the mud road had been turned into stone pavement and each side had flowers that emitted a sweet fragrance.
”Your majesty”
”Me king”
Along the way, he saw many demihumans, humans, elves, dwarves bowing toward him with a smile on their faces. He was happy to see the people started to forget about the racial hatred as he could even see some goblins were playing with other children in front of their parents.
”Ken, when I return from the dungeon, remember me to do an oath-taking ceremony, we need to bring the Emir's army here to train them”
”Yes, your majesty”
After roaming around the kingdom, Don went to see Knight and the soldiers at the training ground.
”Isn't that our new enemy maker?”
Knight came with a wide grin on his face and punched Don in the shoulder
”What're you talking about?”
”I heard the stunt you pulled at the gathering,you're turning into like the young masters in the divine continent, making new enemies wherever you go”
”How do I know they'd act like that?”
”So why don't we just”
Knight ran his paw across his throat hinting that they should kill them
”We shouldn't”
Don said and retrieved one of the poison arrows from his space ring
