279 Future Queen (2/2)

Amaryll laughed and lightly slapped the back of his head and sent him running when she saw him trying to sneak his way into the meeting.

”That hurts!”

Rubbing his head, Elrond chuckled and ran away as Don and Arrora went to the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, the big figures of Everlight were waiting for Don and Knight waved with a smile when he saw Don and Arrora.

There was a playful smile on Knight's face as he scanned both Arrora and Don for a second before they took their seats. Reghys also had a weird smile on her face as Don knew that both of them guessed that he and Arrora entered into a relationship.

”I'm not planning to hide it, you two”

He said, looking at Reghys and Knight as everyone at the round table focused their gazes on Don to see what he was going to say next.

”Arrora will be your queen in the future”

When these words came out of his mouth, they were astonished. Except for Ken, everyone's eyes and mouth were frozen wide open in an expression of stunned surprise.

”Wonderful!”

Amaryll bounced on her flexing feet and clapped her hands as she had a wide grin on her face.

”I'm so happy for you”

Arwen smiled and showed his support with a gentle nod at Arrora and Don.

”me king, let me introduce ye ta Gisella first”

”Seriously?”

Amaryll gave a death stare to Stodemar as the dwarf burst into laughter

”I was kidding, hehe”

”A toast for the future queen”

Vivian laughed with everyone else and raised her cup to make a toast as the others also did the same.

Arrora stood up from her seat and nodded to show her gratitude.

”Your majesty, when are you planning to get married?”

Ukita raised the question and turned everyone's focus again to Don

”Not soon, I'll let you know when the time comes”

”Then I'd suggest you put an engagement ring on her finger, your majesty, it would bring bad luck if there's no ring in the future queen's finger”

”Yes, I heard that too, we should definitely do that”

Amaryll quickly agreed with Ukita as Don looked at Reghys for her opinion

”I don't believe in bad luck but it doesn't hurt to do what they said”

After hearing Reghys, he let out a long sigh

”Alright, then I will put a ring on her finger at the coronation ceremony”

”Excellent! leave everything ta us, me king”

”Yes, you sit back and relax, we got this covered”

Uncle Dior spoke with a smile as Don nodded in agreement.

”Now tell me what you know about the group that ambushed me?”

The smile on their faces quickly disappeared when they heard his question.

And considering Arwen was the one leading the hunt for them, the dwarves and everyone looked at him as Arwen cleared his throat and started to tell everything related to the Sinners.

Don and Knight heard everything calmly as Knight opened his mouth

”So we don't know anything except what they eat?”

”It seems like another secret society like the order of the Ghost, Knight”

Both of them heard and came to contact with cults like this in the Divine continent, so they knew what they were dealing with.

”That's troublesome Don, you know how they are. It's hard to find them, they live as a normal citizen like the old man Vivian captured. I'd say we got lucky with that old man and probably by now, they would have covered their tracks well”

Arwen agreed with Knight as even after a thorough search through their kingdoms, Arwen didn't find a clue about the Sinners.

”Our first priority should be increasing our security and make sure they don't eat any of our citizens, can't believe I just said that”

”Vivian's right, first we need to make sure the kidnappings don't happen on our watch. And they must have been migrated to other kingdoms, so finding them will not be an easy task, besides, we don't know how much reach they have in the Moon Empire”

”So what's our next move, your majesty?”

”Our next move should be, finish what we have in our hands right now”

”Yes, Stodemar speed up the building process of the dam. Amaryll, double-check everything in our hotels and tea houses. Vivian and Nanbu, increase the recruitment rate to our army. Ken, Benedict, start mass-producing the cannons in secret. Kayako, start brewing those healing potions, we have to sell those as well to create a new income. And Arwen, pause your search and increase the security in each kingdom before the coronation ceremony”

Knight looked at each of them and rapidly fired his orders. He wanted Don to take a long rest and recover his strength mentally and physically, so he decided to involve in more than military-related activities.

”As you wish, General Knight”

”Consider it done”

”Yes, General Knight”

”When the time comes for the ranking ceremony, I want Everlight to be on the top of rank 3 kingdoms”

Finally, Don stood up and said before leaving the meeting hall.
