Chapter 3: The Road to Being King

In the Naruya Kingdom, the young king, Cassia de Naruya sat upon his throne. Despite his youth, the king already possessed both dignity and a regal aura that befitted a hegemon. Before him stood Count Roland with his head bowed. He was an emissary of the Herald Kingdom and was also said to be the strongest fighter in that country.

The Herald Kingdom bordered Naruya to the east. In terms of power, they were roughly on the same level as Brijit, meaning that they were weaker than Runan. But in part due to his fame within his own country, Roland remained confident even when standing before the King of Naruya.

“So, in summary, you are asking if we would like to form an alliance?”

“Indeed I am. And it is not such a bad deal, if I do say so myself!”

There had been a similar proposal from the Brijit Kingdom the other day. Not that Brijit existed as a nation any longer. Of course, Cassia had no intention of accepting.

“You people are also targeting Runan, then? You wish to join hands with us in order to occupy that country, is that it?”

“I won’t deny it. However, Your Majesty, if you were to form an alliance with Herald, I can assure you we would be able to conquer Runan with even greater certainty!”

Count Roland declared, releasing mana as he spoke. It was a way of boasting about his own power. Perhaps an ordinary ruler might have been intimidated, at least somewhat, by such a display.

However, Cassia merely dug the wax out of his ear as if bored.

“It seems that the Herald Kingdom’s information is out of date. It’s absurd that someone like you is a famous commander there. A man with your level of martial ability would be no use anywhere else. You fail to even arouse our curiosity, emissary of Herald. Begone.”

At that moment, red light overflowed from around Cassia. The power of his red mana made the entire throne room shake. Count Roland’s mana was swallowed up in an instant, and the overpowered count was forced to sit on the floor, his trembling legs unable to support him. The king’s power was so great he was speechless.

With quivering lips, the count said, “I’m sure you’ll regret this... We’re after Runan too, so next time we meet...it’ll likely be on the battlefield...!”

He was likely attempting to save his pride by saying that, but all he was doing was wagging his insipid tongue.

Two of the royal guards flanked Count Roland, picking him up and removing him from the audience chamber in shame. He was so overwhelmed he couldn’t even stand up on his own.

“What a pitiful wretch,” the king remarked with a look of boredom before rising from the throne.

Once he was gone, Frann Valdesca, who had simply been watching as the situation unfolded, asked the Ten Commanders, “Have you finished searching for Runanese scouts?”

“Yes, Your Highness. The intelligence service has captured them all. Many of them were given rather sloppy missions, so it wasn’t difficult.
