True King's Ecstasy

"Oh~ why the change of mind suddenly? Didn\'t adventurers dislike joining wars?" Gran ell didn\'t know about the details Ivan knew about the rebels so he had no idea what he was up to.

"This is a tight stop, so we decided to help if your highness allows us," Ivan said with a convincing voice.

Duke Mason knew what he was up to because he knew Ivan\'s battle-hungry nature.

Granbell thought about his proposal for a minute. If they decided to go to war with the small army they have right now, the kingdom will most likely face a defeat so he decided to accept it.

"I accept, but adventurers must be under Mason\'s order, otherwise we don\'t need your help," He didn\'t want to take a risk by putting adventurers who weren\'t loyal to the kingdom and risk his own soldiers\' lives.

"It\'s okay, but we will withdraw if the kingdom gives us a questionable order, and the kingdom will have to pay a hefty amount," No matter how excited Ivan was, he didn\'t want to work for free.

"Of course, If we win you will get a good price," Granbell accepted his request.

The meeting ended peacefully but, the army and all the military-related services were not peaceful at all. They were running here and there collecting things needed for the war.

Ivan was excited to see the young talent that might be the greatest he had seen in a long time. His main goal was to meet him and see whether Norman\'s words were true if they were true he might have to scout this talent.

He didn\'t mind going against the kingdom if this boy had talent which is more valuable than the kingdom itself.

While the kingdom was busy preparing for war, Velian was not going to lose to them. All the warriors were going under rigorous training under Delvi and Juno.

During these few days, few changes happened within the seven elites of Remi\'s squad. She initiated a system where if you get challenged by an individual and get defeated your position will be given to the one who defeated you.

This law applied to Remi too, she got challenged a few times but none of them managed to replace her number one position among the seven elites but three of the former elites got replaced by the new ones.

The talents in the Velian army increase day by day without end. Even though the numbers were not big, the quality of the troops was at a reasonable level.

Half of the troops went back to the alliance with Asumi and Daphnia so, in the upcoming fight, they have to fight with the locals but it\'s no problem because during these few days Sariya and Velian were working on the people\'s trust with the help of others.

Now that they know the taste of freedom and control under Velian, even if they were forced, they won\'t be able to go back to their old plan. Basically, Velian baited all of them with sweet words and better living conditions.

"Can we really win if the kingdom attacks us?" Samara was absolutely stunned by the changes Velian brought to this territory within this small period of time, she was happy with people doing business with ethics unlike when the viscount controlled this territory.

"We can win, don\'t worry, Rapidclaw kingdom doesn\'t have enough soldiers, right now so even if they send their army it will be a small amount, that\'s why I\'m building these locals to be able to fight if the things get dangerous, I will personally go to the battlefield, don\'t worry," Velian visited Samara to talk with her just like he promised.

Velian found her interesting because she had a lot of similar ideas just like him considering the business.

"I wanted to develop this city and help merchants to grow their businesses but with viscount illegal taxing and slave trading, I couldn\'t do that," She said with a sad look in her eyes.

"It\'s okay, you will be in good hands under me," Velian reassured her.

They talked for a few minutes before going back home. Velian had more free time these days than in the beginning so he was able to spend more time with Elda and Sariya.

Elda had been doing a great job taking care of the kids that Velian gave her. Her kindness was able to win over every child\'s heart rather easily.

Velian and Sariya were happy to see her being responsible. During these few days, Elda got very close to Velian, She was like an untainted fairy when she is with Velian.

"Veli, Come here, these kids want to see their hero," Elda shouted seeing Velian.

Velian didn\'t have anything else to complete so he decided to spend time with the fairy and these children who might be the pillars of his kingdom in the future.

"It\'s the white knight,"

"Sister, I\'m jealous of you,"

"You get to spend your time with you,"

Girls were looking at Elda with jealous eyes while most of the boys only had respect for Velian.

Velian was surrounded by children, he decided to show some cool magics to them to live up to their expectations.

Velian used the spell (Nova Burst) to create the blue colour flame. It\'s famous because of what happened near the gate.

Some call it purifying fire but only Velian knew it was just a simple scientific reaction added with some magical powers.

"Oh~ so cool, brother, teach me how to do it," The boys were more excited to see it more than the girls.

"Let\'s see, if one of you has a duel element in the future, I will teach you something cool," Velian said and patted their heads.

Elda came and looked at the heartwarming scene of Velian being surrounded by some kids.

"Children, don\'t disturb him, he must have works to do, go and play there," She said while pointing at the space.

"Let\'s go, sister wants some time alone with the brother, Lovely lovely couple," They ran after saying it.

"No~ what are you talking about? We are not like that," She tried to follow the running children but her skirt got entangled in a branch.

Velian was able to catch her by her waist before she fall to the floor but Elda\'s condition wasn\'t any better. Her face was insanely red looking at Velian\'s face which was close to her.

"Veli," She didn\'t notice that all the children were looking at her.

"Kyahh~ straight out of the fairy tale, the prince catches the princess when she is about to fall, way to go sister," Their jokes brought her back to her senses.

She quickly stood up from the awkward position.

"Thank you, Veli," She thanked him.

"It\'s pleasure to hold a beautiful girl like you," Velian wanted to tease her a little bit.

"Kyah~" the girls were excited to see their sister being all embarrassed. Even they felt their heart rain looking at Velian talking like that.

"Sister, go for it"

They talked for a few minutes more before Velian said farewell to them and went back.
