In the middle of the chief city of Novelves, Colt City, a few people are gathered. They all seem to be waiting for someone. With slightly tired but mostly annoyed expressions on their faces, they were heatedly discussing among themselves. 

A few moments later, 3 individuals appear, moving towards the group of people and the discussion stops and everyone looks at the three of them with reverence in their eyes. When the three almost reached close to the group, the group got on their knees and shout in a unison,

"Long live the Kings of Winter Alfheim!!" 

The three Kings stood there with a slightly serious face but they looked as if they had a fight before coming here, because some bruises were present on the faces of the three. One of them moved forward and spoke.

"You know why you all are present here, right? You stand up and answer me." He pointed at one of the people kneeling in front of him. The person looks up, stands and then bows before answering," We are here to bring back Princess Silvian, dead or alive, from the outskirts of this country."

The man nods with a satisfied expression before looking at the face of one of the other King who was angry and speaking,

"Silva. Your Daughter is already beyond saving, it is for the better of the Novelves to let her die than to keep her alive."

"I dare you to say that again, my brother, Silvis," Silva says, as he looks at his brother, Silvis, with an angry expression. The atmosphere turns serious as sparks start forming between the two Kings.

"All right! All right! Didn't we accept not to stretch this situation anymore?" speaks the third one with a slightly worried look on his face as a wry smile forms on his face.

"Then teach this guy not to poke his nose where it does not belong, will you Armis," Silva speaks humphing before paying attention to the group of people in front of them who were trying their best not to lose consciousness because of the pressure created by the Kings there.

ARMIS' POV:-

'Once you both are dead, I am taking this country all for myself. Be calm! Be calm! Don't lose your cool, now,' I think as I try my best to keep myself calm and not get angry at their childish behaviour. Sometimes, I forget they are Kings and not some hooligans in the street.

With a smile plastered on my face, I look at the situation right now. So how did we get here?

It honestly began when the son of Silvis fell in love with the daughter of Silva, Silviana, but Silviana, being a free spirited air-headed girl who seems like an idiot, did not even notice all the things that guy did for her. 

I shake my head as I even felt bad for the kid. Afterwards, out of frustration, the son of Silvis, Narmer, asked his father for help. Not being able to reject his miserable son's pitiful request, that guy actually tried to force marriage directly to King Silva, using his powers. King Silva, who looked at the situation of Narmer, felt bad for the kid and thought that marriage would actually make his daughter a bit more responsible. 

We settled everything, even that idiot girl accepted the situation. Everyone was glad, and things were looking great, but then that girl… sigh… that girl ran away right on the day of the marriage. Seems like she was trying to get her hands on a teleportation artifact and succeeded in doing so. Before anyone could do anything, she escaped from here swiftly.

After we asked our best soothsayer to look for her, it shocked us to know that she had escaped too far away on the outskirts of the city.

'Is she trying to escape from Winter Alfheim?' was the question that came in my mind, but it went away as fast as it came. Getting out of this country is as similar as asking for death and every single Novelve knows that. 

I sigh as I try my best to understand her next move… just what is she trying to do? Silva and Silvis were really shocked as their faces looked like they had lost so many years of their lives.

Silva, the father of Silvian, looked really worried and wanted to send a search party for his daughter, but Silvis, who was much more rational than him, asked him not to send too many people. That area where she teleported is practically unknown to us and very much dangerous, even for us Kings.

Silva, hearing this from his very own brother, got a bit confused before anger took over him. Honestly, it made me wonder how someone with such low understanding actually became a King… well, he has his good sides too though…

"You finally showed your true colours, huh?" he spoke with eyes full of hatred. Silvis, first confused by his behaviour, looked dumbfounded at him before understanding the situation and glaring back at him.

Rather than clarifying the situation, he actually started manipulating Silva. It was simply verbal abuse at first, then it escalated to hand to hand combat and almost reached to the point where the surroundings started getting destroyed. I could not look at their foolery, ran towards them and tried my best to stop them from fighting, only to end up getting hurt. Though… it brought them back to their senses and they looked at me as if asking me the right answer. I sighed a bit before pondering about something and then speaking,

"Let's send one-third of our elites for patrol towards that area while also giving them a relevant mission along with the one to bring Princess Silvian back here."

They looked at me for a few moments before looking at each other and then looking at me before nodding with an agreeing expression.. Then we moved here to our current situation.
