Heavenly Saga

A few days have passed since the attack of the Dark Alliance, Kraftvoll, and the others already reached the border of Pendragon City to the territory of Stolz City.

The Duke of Pendragon City planned to escort Kraftvoll and Bellen to Feuersturm Castle himself because of the situation.

Even though he was someone who was not afraid to offend the king, he knew the importance of Kraftvoll to the whole kingdom of Walkiria, which was why he wanted to guarantee Kraftvoll's safety by himself.

To totally protect Kraftvoll, he even let him ride his personal carriage along with Belle.

Outside of the carriage, the two dragons flew around the carriage as if they were trying to protect the carriage.

"I see that you two owned two male dragons. In the future, they will become formidable aid to your battles." Duke Gawain casually said.

"I heard Kraftvoll that you are the King's disciple," said Duke Gawain.

"Yes, your Grace. I am indeed His Majesty, King Arthur's student." Kraftvoll replied.

"He's not mistaken when he chose you, you're just nine years old and yet you're already at the Seishin Captain rank. It's a pity that he found you first."

"I'm grateful for your compliments, your grace," Kraftvoll said with a little smile.

"Want to become my disciple instead?" The Duke casually asked.

This question made Kraftvoll and Belle flabbergasted, "My apologies, your grace. But I already have the king as my master. A master for a day, and a father for a lifetime." Kraftvoll politely replied.

This answer made the Duke laugh a little. "I'm just messing with you kid. Your teacher would try to kill me if I ever did that to him."

A day had passed, they finally reached the Feuersturm Castle at the royal capital.

After seeing the crest of Duke Gawain's crest, the guards had announced their arrival, "His grace, Duke Gawain von Pendragon has arrived!" They opened the gate immediately the gate after hearing this.

"Tell the King that I want an audience!" Duke Gawain resolutely said.

The guards replied, "As you command, your grace!" They immediately went to the King's chamber to say the duke's request.

After a few minutes, one of the king's personal guards came to the Duke. "Greetings, your grace. The King has granted you an audience please come with me." The Duke nodded slightly and they followed him to the King's throne chamber.

As usual, the atmosphere around the king's throne chamber was heavy because of the King's overbearing aura. And the moment the duke had entered the throne chamber, the aura became even more unbearable for the people inside the room.

After seeing Kraftvoll enter the throne chamber, King Arthur was overjoyed. "My student, you are safe! I recently received some intel about the situation of your hometown." King Arthur said.

Belle who had been hiding her worries about her father suddenly ask, "Your Majesty! What about my father? Is he safe?" She worriedly asked.

The face of the King suddenly became somewhat dark. "Currently, there is no news about your father. He's been missing ever since the attack. Some of the Kingdom's officials are currently assigned to investigate his current location and situation." This information made Belle start to be worried about her father.

After saying what he knew, the King suddenly turned his gaze to the duke. "Brother Gawain! Thank you for escorting these two kids here to my castle." King Arthur said in appreciation.

He knew that the Duke would not help if this was just a simple situation. "Earl Alard sent a messenger to notify me. And I know the importance of this to you and our Kingdom so I personally led my personal army to the outer part of my territory. I've brought the soldiers that pursued your student and his escorts as prisoners, you can interrogate them later, Your Majesty." said the Duke.

"I'm grateful, Brother Gawain. I'll make sure to return the favor someday," said King Arthur.

"I'll go on my way, then," said Duke Gawain while slightly bowing to the King before going on his way.
