Chapter 677: The Meeting Ends

William has stopped being cocky. And the meeting progressing really well. Each of us received new information, but none of them are about the cult’s headquarter. That’s suck.

Yuria is no longer nervous. And she’s doing well as a representative of her country. She’s currently negotiating about exchanging the wind Magic Stones with from other countries.

Also, there are also issues with other smaller kingdom. Although the circus hasn’t gone there yet, some countries have contacted those kingdom and ask for alliance. All of them rejected the alliance politely, so there’s no need to force them to join. But we still need to investigate if those country has connection with the cult or not. So the circus will still go there.

The discussion of the main topics is over. And we’re mostly in questions and answers session.

“Excuse me, but won’t it be difficult if we only have one person responsible for transportation? We can’t rely all the time with Roy,” William asked politely.

I guess he’s no longer acting cocky anymore. He started to talk politely to everyone.

“As long as I’m still alive, especially if it’s related to the cult, you are free to use me as transportation method. But in case I can’t do it for some reason, you can ask that guy up there to take you where you want to go. Using portal is faster, but he’s still much faster than any other method of transportation.”

.....

I pointed my finger to the ceiling. Everyone is looking above but no one is seeing anything. Until the guy I pointed at showed himself.

“Oh? It’s my turn to show myself?”

The new friends we have looked above to see that the empty space above us is actually occupied by one huge flying serpent. All of them are shocked. Except for us who have gotten used to Spot.

“It’s not even my real size but you’re already shocked? You need to get used to it quickly. I’m Spot. Half sea serpent, and half sky serpent. Nice to meet some of you for the first time. I’d like to show off my real size, but this place is too small,” Spot said.

Seeing Spot above him, William shows his cowardice and start screaming as he looks at Spot and points his finger at the giant serpent.

“AAA! Monster! There’s a monster there! Julia! Please kill that thing!”

Haha. He’s embarrassing both old man Henry and Julia. Even though I have told him that we can use Spot to help us in transportation, he’s still afraid. Though the him who was annoying turned into hilarious William. That’s quite funny to me.

The guests from Rygis are also surprised. Including Patricia. Even though she must have somehow sensed Spot’s presence because she’s a master level mage.

“Hmm... I forgot to ask you to introduce the monsters as well. I never thought of it since all of them are obeying you. But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore,” Albert said.

“Right. Then I’ll say it now. I actually made alliance with monsters as well. There’s a whole community of werewolves, elves, angels, vampires, and some other individual monsters. Just know that if they didn’t say anything, they are enemies. I have told them all to not attack humans unless they are criminals. Like some thugs or members of the cult. Most of them are in Monsters World. A world that summoners can actually come and go easily. Some are in this world, but they are under supervision. So it’s safe for us in the alliance,” I said casually.

I don’t need to bring Shelia and the others here. I just need them to trust me that what I’m saying is right. If they don’t, I don’t care. At least I have warned them that even though we have monsters on our side, not all monsters are friends. There are more of them as enemies than friends. So they need to be on guard toward all monsters.

“It’s not normal! This is not normal at all! Why is there no normal person at all in this room?!”

I thought that he has stopped being cocky. But William is still annoying to the end.

“A tamer can tame a monster, right? I just found a way to befriend some monster instead of using magic. That’s all there is to it. It’s actually quite normal to make friend. As long as the monsters can communicate with us through words, it’s not impossible,” I said.

“But it’s still not normal! What cult?! What Aura?! What giant serpent?! What if it’s all just in your head?! What if the cult didn’t actually want to destroy the world?!” William keeps complaining. He has no dignity at all as the future king of Varadis.

“That means whatever they’re going to do, destroying the world is the only way to get what they want. And we have already have evidences that they are dangerous. Even if they are not going to destroy the world, we have more than enough reason to start a war against them,” I said.

William doesn’t seem to understand the weight of the situation. The cult has attacked all of the countries of the people here. Even in his kingdom. And that’s the reason why old man Henry picked him to be the next king. Because the previous candidate wants him to die.

“William. You’re embarrassing us. You remember about how many of your siblings died in a single night, right? I have told you that they are related to the cult and are targeting me. And I won’t be the only target since we have seen what they do to Arturo. They made Harold’s sons and daughters fighting and killing each other. That can happen to you as well. And we’re trying to prevent anything like that from happening ever again. You’re still stupid today. That’s why I need you to join this meeting in hope you can be a bit brighter,” old man Henry said.

About the case where many of his siblings died, it’s all Spot who killed them easily. With just a single breath, he destroyed even the mountain near there.

Still, this William is too stupid. I feel like he has nothing for him to protect. And that’s the worst trait if he wants to be a king.

And then Albert started to talk.

“William. I’m younger than you but I’m already responsible for my kingdom. And I will tell you why you are here. It’s to make us from other kingdoms think that you are just a pushover. And it works well. In the future, when you become the king, we will continue to think of you as a pushover. But even if you’re bad in international relationship, a king has to take care of his people and his country. Do you think you have what it takes to be a king? If not, then I suggest you to give up from ascending to the throne. It will be a loss for us since the pushover will be gone, but I don’t want the people of Varadis to suffer because of your idiocy.”

Albert is being straightforward and says that William is not going to be a good king at this point. It’s a shame that we won’t have a pushover that we can give order easily if William decided to give up. But I guess this is for the best as well.

If William still persist to be a king and he ended up not doing a good job in it, I might not have a peaceful life that I want.

I already got the kings to promise me a peaceful life after the cult is destroyed. But it won’t be for long if William is the king and he’s still acting stupid. I guess it’s good that Albert reminds him about it.

William just sat there speechless. Old man Henry should have gotten a candidate for the king much earlier than this. But too many things happened and he can only decide the future king recently. So William missed a lot of things that he needs to know.

He can learn from now. But if he’s still aiming for my girlfriends, I will kill him.

“Well, it’s something that all leader of a country has to go through. Since old man Henry will still continue reigning as the king, we don’t have to worry about William currently. He’s old man Henry’s problem, not ours. He can still learn by watching old man Henry works. Anyway, is there anything else that we can talk about today?”

Fabio swiftly changes the topic. I guess this is more important. And he needs to teach William to take care of the most important thing first rather than thinking about other useless stuffs.

“Oh, the circus has just left that small kingdom near Arturo. That kingdom doesn’t seem to have any connection with the cult. Each of you will have a more detailed report from the agents in the circus. Except for Yuria. We can’t just accept new recruits for the circus mid-tour. But don’t worry. If there’s anything important, we will inform you as well via Sonia,” I said.

The circus is now in Arturo’s territory. And I told the kings that we are going to reach Bernard’s territory soon. Luna then can watch the circus there. She looks so happy when I said that. I’ll bring the other children as well to watch.

With that, the meeting is over. And I brought everyone back to their home while I will stay in Varadis for a while. There are some doctors who wants to meet me and ask me some questions here.

But it’s still troubling. We still haven’t found any clues about the cult. When can we ever destroy them?
