It was already several days since the incident, but the king still held his reign and postponed the election of the new ruler. The people, of course, didn't dare to question his decision, lest they wanted trouble they couldn't handle.

While everyone was busy spreading his feats, the said young man was nowhere to be seen on the streets. His whereabouts were unknown even from the rumors that spread like wildfire. There was only one place where people didn't dare to check, and that was the place where the king resided.

*creak

The double door was opened revealing the king as his gaze was filled with a dinner table and his two children already sat on the chair, facing each other.

Seeing the three royalties already arrived at the dinner table, the butlers and the housekeepers respectfully bow before leaving the room for the three. It was never their place to hear a family discussion.

With the door being shut slowly, the king took a deep breath before saying, "It's been a while for us to have family time like this."

They were the royalties, issues regarding the kingdom always came every day without stopping. It was quite rare for them to have lunch together.

"Yes, father, a lot of stuff is happening and with the recent event, there is an enormous workload to be done after this," said Prince Frey.

"C'mon little brother, don't say that. This is called family bonding," said Princess Aelina with her eyebrows raising up and down.

(I know what it's called!) thought Prince Frey as he kept silent.

The king chuckled as he said, "It's good, it's good."

"Hmm? What is 'good' father?" asked Princess Aelina.

"Oh, the food," said the king hurriedly.

Both of his children squinted his eyes as they saw that their father didn't even bite a single thing.

"Hmm, I wonder if Chloe is alright," said the king before sighing. The youngest child of his was the most talented in regards to cultivation. She wanted to spread her wings to the sky and as a father, it was his role to support her.

"Don't worry about Chloe, you know how strong and quick-witted she is. I bet she didn't even bat an eye in regards to big brother's death," said Princess Aelina. Her youngest sister always kept a distance from her relatives ever since she was a kid.

The atmosphere turned heavy as the other two heard the fact once again.

The king sighed, "I wonder what makes Weiss so wicked, he was such an innocent child back then,"

"Yeah, big brother was a kind person back then, however, something changed but I cannot remember when nor what," said Prince Frey.

Prince Weiss's childhood was unlike the present. He was a kind and caring boy, help those that were in need, aiding those who were suffering. The prince loathed the strong that trampled the weak. A promising youth to be the next ruler.

The princess sighed, "I have not gotten a clue either,"

The atmosphere turned gloomy before the king dispersed it, "Alright, let's focus on eating, I'm starving."

The three of them pick up the silver cutlery and started to eat the meal that the kingdom's chef provided.

"Ah, right, How is sir Lyon, sister?" asked Prince Frey as he cut a medium steak.

"Eh? W-why are you asking that to me?" asked the princess fidgetingly.

The king furrowed his eyebrows, "Are you two dating?" historical

His question blew the princess's fuse as she turned a shade of red. "W-what are you talking about father?!"

"Well, I'm fine with it, I mean, he legitimately is, the ruler of Luderia according to our ancestors' teaching," said the king calmly.

He was keeping his act as the king until Lyon came for his enthronement to quell the people's panic. Lyon was the legitimate ruler since he could conquer the core power of Luderia, Gungnir. A feat no other had ever done.

Princess Aelina suddenly stopped her eating as he stared deep into her father's eyes.

"Father, don't ever, ever, give Luderia to him."

Her tone was deep and proved her seriousness that even made her father gulped.

"Wha-what's wrong with him my daughter? He is an honored man, look, he killed your big brother, the prince from a considerable kingdom for the sake of his loved ones. Not many have that kind of courage, a hero amongst men," said the king favorably.

The princess didn't need to hear that from her father, she knew how heroic his deeds were. However, there was one thing that concerned her, his capability of managing a kingdom. He will without a doubt, built his harem kingdom that full of beautiful women all around the world. Luderia's honor would be plummeted by him.

"Just don't father, if you don't want to rule anymore just let me or little brother, never Lyon! Got it?" said Princess Aelina with a stern tone.

The king instinctively nodded as she reminded him of her late mother.

*knock

The door to the dining room was knocked as the king's eyes turned sharp, "What is it?"

"Y-your majesty, sorry for interrupting, but there is a letter for you, it said to be from a young man named Lyon?" said one of the guards outside the door.

"Come in," ordered the king.

The guard immediately went to the dining room and gave the letter to the king before hurriedly leave the scene after a bow.

The king looked at the letter that was enveloped with no seal attached. It was apparent that it was personal.

His children looked at his father before hurriedly stood behind him. They were curious about what Lyon the letter was about, was it the enthronement?

The king opened the envelope before pulling the paper inside that was folded three times. His squinted eyes soon opened wide along with his children as he read what Lyon had written.

There were only two words on the white paper, 'Watch out!'.

The trio immediately turned around and readied themselves. They didn't know what was happening but they were staying on guard in case something bad will happen.

The trio scanned the room as their body tensed. The wind, moving ants, they made sure to not miss anything.

However, after a full five minutes of being wary with their surroundings nothing happened.

The king immediately read the letter once more, there were new sentences under the two words.

'Hah! Got you! :D

(By the time of this writing, Kyoko smacked my head but I bet it was worth it).

Anyway, I'm going back to Kingdom Nostria, oh send some army will you, the queen said they are on war with Heaven's Down. Of course, you need to be there in person to lead the army.

Oh and, to my dearest Aelina,

Let's have another date next time! I still remember the taste of your lips against mi-'

Before the king could finish reading, the princess hurriedly took it away from him before squatting down to read the rest of the letter. "Awawwawa," her face turned red before she ripped the letter into bits.

Her father and little brother had the same flat expression as they looked at her (He even spelled Heaven's Dawn wrong!) thought both of them.
