Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

[Almon City]

At 6:30 of the night when Kaya finally returned to Duke castle and entered Duke castle servants and guards were busy and moving around everywhere in a hurry.

Seeing this Kaya was confused and went to Diana's office room where usually, Diana can be found. Arriving at Daina's room and opening the door, she found that Behemoon, Duke Michael and Norman are also here with a serious expression on their face as they were looking at the letter placed on top of the table.

"What do you think, why is he coming to the Almon region?" asked Michael as he looked at everyone, only then did he notice that Kaya was also here.

"Oh! miss Kaya, you are back" said Michael.

Kaya nod

"I just returned, what are you guys discussing with such serious looks," asked Maya.

Hearing that Diana pass to her the letter

"Read it and you will find out," said Daina.

Taking the letter, Kaya started reading it and after reading it, Kaya returned it to Diana.

"So, a prince of Alfrine Kingdom is coming to Almon city for diplomatic talks with Buraford kingdom and will stay here for a day and after that will head for capital city Utopia," said Kaya

looking at the troubled and confused appearance of Diana and Michael.

"Miss Kays, diplomatic talks between kingdoms are always done after proper planning by both parties, but we have got no news from the capital, that prince of Alfrine Kingdom is coming to Buraford kingdom," said Norman.

"It can be a sudden visit then, maybe he needs some help or may be protected from other princes of his kingdom, who wants to kill him and that's why he is coming to ask for help from Buraford kingdom," said Kaya.

"Miss Kaya, why do you think that way, "asked Norman.

"Norman, Kaya don't know about the current condition of Alfrine Kingdom nor about royal family," said Daina as she looks at Kaya."Kaya,

Alfrine Kingdom's condition is different from our kingdom, among all three kingdoms, the Alfrine Kingdom is youngest with a history of five thousand years, it is the smallest among all three kingdoms and also the weakest in military power and poorest in the economy. but it is talk of past, the current Alfrine Kingdom cannot be underestimated, it is the richest and most influential and developed, it's bilateral relations with all three Empire and Kingdoms best and at same time it has most widespread and reliable information network; all this thing did not occur in five thousand years but in 150 year because of a single man" when Diana said that man she smiled with an expression of admiration.

"A single man-made it most influential and developed among all Kingdoms, " Kaya said with a look of surprise.

"Yes, Miss Kaya and that is also why we are so worried. The person who is coming is he, the crown prince of Alfrine Kingdom and its next ruler Julis Alfrine" said Norman with a serious expression as he looked at the letter.

Behemoon who was hearing all this talk about Julis becomes curious about him, she also wants to see what kind of person is this prince Julis Alfrine.

"So, such a character is coming to our Almon city, so where is the current, "Behemoon asks looking at Diana and Michael.

"According to the messenger, the current prince Julis with his hundred personal guards is currently 158km away from Almon City and will reach here by 10:30 in morning, so we have to make all preparations to welcome him by tomorrow," said Michael.

"But, weirdly, we didn't get any information about his entry in our territory," said Norman.

"About that, it seems like prince Julis has disguise himself into rich merchant and his guards are acting like mercenaries protecting him, messenger said that, they want to keep their visit to eastern region a secret and told not to make any grand preparation but to act like, we are welcoming a business partner"said Michael.

"He wants to keep his visit a secret but why?" said Behemoon and started thinking about his reason for doing it.

"I have no idea, but it may be a good opportunity for us to make a good relationship with him," said Michael

Hearing that everyone nod

Next morning, everyone in the castle is busy in making preparation for prince Julis visit, officials are told that a reputed merchant is coming to have a deal with us but they still have doubt after all, how much reputed a merchant may be, there is no reason to make such preparation to welcome come him.

At 10:30 everything was ready, a red carpet was spread on the floor.

Michael, Diana, Kai, Lily, Behemoon stood at the entrance of Castle with a bouquet in their hands.

Suddenly they started hearing loud sounds of horses.

CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOP

A horse cart type carriage pulled by ten horses and hundred guards by its side entered Castle's main gate and stopped before a red carpet was placed at the entrance of the castle.

Seeing the carriage and the flag Michael and Diana were surprised because it was a symbol of the FANTASIA merchant group.

Driver gets down from the horse cart and opens the gate of the carriage as a person covered in black cloth gets out of the carriage, a guard gets down from his horse as both of them start walking towards Michael and Diana.

Without removing his black cloth.

The man takes greetings from everyone and enters the castle accompanied by his guard remaining completely silent throughout his walk towards the guest room.

In reaching the guest room, the man and everyone sits on sofa as Diana serves tea and biscuits to the prince.

Finally, it was Michael who breaks the silence

"It was our great pleasure, prince Julis that you came to visit our Almon city".

But the man didn't reply, the reply came from his guard.

"It's also my pleasure to me you, Duke Michael"

Hearing the guard 's reply , everyone was surprised and suddenly the appearance of the guard changed and a young man in casual clothes appeared before them.

"How have you been, Duke Michael, it's been a long time," said the young man with a smile.
