The Summoned Monster That Is Summoning Another Monster

That is why, when they heard what the prince had said, coupled with the image of Ivy riding a flying horse and a golden dragon appearing out of thin air, the originally depressed and lifeless people obtained hope.

They started migrating towards the west, Zlander knew that all of them would choose to follow his advice, so before leaving, he had commanded all of the people under him to take care of the refugees while they were migrating towards New Dawn City.

Up in the air, Ivy and Zlander were talking with each other, the relationship between the two of them has gotten quite close after Shadowslash’s disappearance, Ivy was the one keeping everything in order.

After all, in her mind, she was the chosen one that Shadowslash had picked, the rest were not as special as she is.

“Yes, the monster that I have encountered was truly a powerful beast, if it were not for Miracle, I would not be able to defeat it all on my own.” After her battle with the Griffin, Ivy asks her partner “Miracle” to grace her performance, she quickly realises that, she was actually not a match against her opponent.

Zlander pacifies her “Do not worry, you are just too young and inexperienced, if you were a little bit older and have more experience fighting such beasts, you would not be helpless against it.”

Ivy shakes her head “I am not worried, with Miracle by my side, no one other than almighty lord Shadowslash is capable of harming me, I am just disappointed at myself for thinking that I am undefeatable all on my own.”

Zlander becomes silent, he then lets out a sad sigh “I wish that I have a capable subordinate such as Miracle, my family is getting on my last nerve, they actually dare spout nonsense as Shadowslash not being real!”

.....

He shouted the last few words with anger and killing intent, if he was not afraid of falling out of Shadowslash’s favour, he would have killed his family already.

After all, he was only accepted by Shadowslash because the blood on his hand is considered small compared to most royal members.

Ivy could not help but look at him with pity, she shakes her head and says “You are too pitiful, unlike you, I have a dependable older sister, actually, I think that our almighty lord would also make her his servant.”

Zlander’s eyes widened, he was shocked by this news, he could not help but think in his heart ‘I cannot marry Ivy as she is the Saintess and her age is considered too young compared to mine but her older sister is just three years younger than me, she is the perfect candidate to become my wife.’

He knows that unlike most female members he had met, he cannot just talk to the parents and arrange a marriage, he needs to make her fall in love with him.

In terms of looks, he is quite confident but he does not know why but he is diffident, after all, Harley’s sister is a Saintess and she might also become one of the chosen ones, his status as a prince is basically trash in her eyes.

He decided to discuss with his men, there were some members of his royal knights who were once commoners and even mercenaries, they might have some experience wooing females.

All of the high ranking members of his royals were the knights that were with him during his first visit to New Dawn City, he immediately knew that he would be blamed by his knights once he returned to the capital city.

This was a selfish move on his part, he wanted to be the only person to talk to Shadowslash amongst his group, he wanted to showcase his capability more.

The golden orb that he had obtained helped him a lot during all of this time, he continues to accumulate good karma and turns it into his power and even increases the faith of the kingdom.

For him, it was already one hundred percent sure that he would be the one crowned as king and the reason was quite simple, his father was an arrogant and selfish king.

Shadowslash could grant his wish to live longer, he would definitely beg him to obtain this blessing, to the point that he is no longer anything to him but a puppet.

Ivy spoke to him “Since the activities of the dungeons have become more frequent and active, I think that you and Arnold should work together to save more people.”

Zlander nodded, he then hesitated to ask something but his expression said it all, she opened her mouth and asked “You can ask me if something is troubling you, as the future ruler of the Holy Empire, you should have absolute confidence in the things you do.”

He shakes his head and says “No one is absolutely confident in their actions, they are either too arrogant or too stupid in their decisions.”

Ivy shakes her head “That is not what I meant, absolute confidence does not mean that you are extremely sure with your actions, you just need to show this type of expression and action to our subjects, for the rest, let us handle it.”

He laughs out loud “You mean that I would lie to our subjects, hahaha, the makings of a politician, you do not need to worry about this, you could even say, I was trained to do this type of action.”

Even though he said this in a joking manner, inwardly, he knew that this was the truth, even as children, the royalties are taught how to lie in front of their subordinates and subjects to gain their loyalty.

Ivy could sense his disgust towards himself and his family, she calmly spoke “Not everyone could be our almighty lord, capable of anything but do not forget this, he is a divine being and we are mortal men.”

“To survive, no, to live, we have to do things that we are not proud of, we are only humans after all.”

Zlander absolutely agrees with her words, he cannot help but smile in ridicule as he thought about something, finally, he can no longer hold it in and starts laughing.

Ivy was confused, she asked “Why are you suddenly laughing?”

They were just talking about heavy and solemn stuff and yet, not long after, one of them started laughing like a maniac.

“Sorry, I just cannot help but laugh at the ignorance of my family, they are still thinking that the current situation is an advantage to the kingdom because they can conquer more territories.” Ivy was stunned, she also started laughing.

“Truly idiotic, do they really think that the monsters would give them some respect just because they are of royal descent?” Her question made Zlander laugh once again.

“I cannot help but imagine an image in my head containing my arrogant brothers and spoiled sisters pointing at the monsters, telling them who they are in an arrogant manner like the monsters would apologize to them.” Ivy was sent reeling in laughter hearing this.

“That would be something that I would love to see, their sheer stupidity will certainly make me question the intelligence of humanity.” Ivy shakes her head smiling bitterly.

While the two of them were chatting calmly, their speed caused the clouds to part, they had already arrived at New Dawn City, they were just too preoccupied with their discussion.

“Why don’t the two of you come down and let us have a chat.” Suddenly, a voice rings in their heads stunning the two of them, when they realise where they are currently, they become embarrassed.

Their mounts start descending, the children of the city gather towards their landing spot, they were looking at the golden dragon and the flying horse with shining eyes.

Most boys love the golden dragon, it is in line with their ideal of becoming domineering knights and heroes of this world, while the girls love the graceful look of Miracle.

Once the two land, the golden dragon transforms into a golden orb, the only person that was still riding her mount was Ivy.

The two were not showing it but inwardly, they were nervous, not because of their fear towards Shadowslash but because of their respect towards him.

To think that they made him wait while the two of them were jovially chatting with each other, the children parted immediately, they were full of awe.

For them, Ivy, Arnold and Zlander are their idols, the three were the first people to be given blessing by Shadowslash, not all of the children were born and raised in this city, some of them were people transferred here by the knights of New Dawn City, many of them were also helped by Zlander to transfer in this location.
