War Online

Llyne City;

As usual, the capital city of the Kingdom is bustling with tens of thousands of natives and players roaming in the streets while the stores are busy with customers.

Starlight's Guild leader Starlight and his Vice-leader Rigel were walking together in a street while enjoying a snack they bought on the way.

"Are you thinking of accepting his invitation?" asked Rigel.

Starlight nodded, "yeah. Just now, our spy informed that Time Traveler destroyed 300 Elites of Dreamwalkers in a mere 16 seconds."

"Six... Sixteen seconds?" Rigel was taken aback in a surprise.

"There's even a Vice-general and three commanders in the army. It doesn't matter whether the Scarlet guild has huge numbers or not. They have Time Traveler and SnowDew with it. Coupled with number one support guild, Silvershapers, it would give us an edge over Dreamwalkers in our city," explained Starlight while munching chicken popcorn.

Rigel thought for a while and said, "What you said is right. Just a while ago, Dreamwalkers even left East Ocean city but there's only one issue. According to my knowledge gathered from that Imperials faction, that man is very arrogant.

He treats them as his subordinates even though he says they are allies. That includes the Evernight guild. Not to mention, he even…"

"Evernight guild?" interrupted Starlight.

Rigel explained, "It's the public acknowledged number one combat guild in East Ocean City. Although they are only a level-1 guild, its overall strength is stronger than our eighth division."

Starlight nodded, "I see. Okay, please continue what you were saying earlier."

"Ah, that's right. I was just trying to say that he might look down on you even if you are Starlight's guild leader. You can see how he set up a meeting at his place. I know it's probably because of the pride from winning WBT but still…"

Right then…

*Roar*

A powerful roar was heard from the sky.

Like thousands of people, both of them raised their heads and looked at the sky.

As the Winged Lion was descending on to the ground at the entrance since Wil and Hyori aren't permitted to enter the city while flying, all of a sudden, all the NPCs who were working suddenly stopped their work and stood aside.

Nearing the entrance of the city, as Leon started to walk, Hyori get off from the Lion and said, "Wil, I'll wait around here. Send me a message when you are done with your mission."

"Well, you are missing an opportunity to meet the King though. Are you sure you don't want to come with me to the palace?" asked Wil.

Hyori waved her hand, "it's fine. You can proceed…"

"Fine then," as Wil continued to move farther away, Hyori mumbled, "as if I will ride the lion along with you while thousands of people are watching."

She shivered a bit while a thought popped in her mind, "It's damn embarrassing just thinking about it."

As Wil proceeded further while sitting on Leon, the two guards who are guarding the entrance suddenly kneeled on one leg and greeted him together at the same time, "greetings, your Royal Highness."

Wil returned the greeting with a slight nod before Leon stepped inside the city and started walking forward slowly while the natives are moving aside and giving him the way.

But, before even a few seconds passed, all of a sudden, Raziel appeared in front of him, and in a blink of an eye, both of them disappeared right away thereby failing to cause too much commotion inside the city.

After being teleported to Imperial palace, Wil found himself in one of the gardens where only the current King, Mirella, and her paternal aunt Grand Duchess Rikilda, who is one of the enemies he had to defeat later were having a tea together.

Upon realizing the presence of an intruder and a beast, as the guards about to move, they immediately stopped after seeing the old man beside them.

Meanwhile, the two of them stood up and Rikilda greeted Raziel with a light bow before asking, "Is he the one?"

Raziel nodded as an affirmation and greeted Mirella, "Your Majesty."

Looking at the winged lion, a wide smile appeared on Mirella, "you are truly a surprise, Time Traveler. Never had I imagined in my life that I would get to see the guardian beast of our kingdom."

*Roar*

Mirella took a step back in a surprise as Leon roared at her while she was about to touch it, indicating that she has no right to do that.

Wil, who already formed a contract understood it, caressed its back as he stepped on the ground, "Its fine, Leon. She's the descendant of Acke Llyne."

Upon hearing the name, Leon turned his head towards Wil and then at Mirella and stepped forward.

The Royal Knights who were watching it from the distance panicked for a second and thought it was going to attack their king. Just when they were about to move again, Raziel raised his hand as a gesture to tell them not to move.

Meanwhile, as Leon walked towards Mirella, Wil spoke, "I apologize, your majesty. Leon has a lot of pride regarding strangers."

While his comment brought a frown upon Rikilda as if he was saying it was his, she kept silent after remembering that this low-level player also has the same standing as her, perhaps only a little bit lower since she's a Grand Duchess.

On the other hand, after touching Leon's face and mane, Mirella overflowed with happiness and looked at Wil before speaking softly, "you can call me as big sis whenever we aren't at the courtroom, younger brother."

*Ding. Favorability with Archangel Raziel increased by 20

*Ding. Favorability with Mirella increased by 10

*Ding. Favorability with Mirella crossed 90. You are granted one wish from Mirella. The success rate depends on the difficulty of the wish.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce her. Younger Brother, this is your aunt, Rikilda Llyne," Mirella pointed at her aunt while introducing to Wil, who shivered a little bit upon seeing the changing in the attitude.

After calming down quickly, he bowed, "Greetings, Aunt Rikilda." The latter forced herself to smile and replied, "nice to meet you, nephew."

Even though Raziel saw a strained smile on her, he kept quiet and behaved as if there's nothing abnormal.

After a while, in the courtroom;

The ministers were called for an assembly. As they arrived at the courtroom right away, Wil entered the courtroom along with Mirella, Raziel, and Rikilda.

While the three of them took their seat, Wil stood in the middle of the hall. 

"As you all know, according to the customs created by King Acke Llyne, the person who was able to tame our Guardian beast that was being imprisoned for the past 2000 years must be adopted into the royal family and will be considered as one of the heirs to the throne.

Following the royal customs, I, Mirella Llyne, 632nd King of the Llyne Kingdom hereby officially anointing Time Traveler as the crown prince of the Llyne Kingdom."

*Ding. You completed the Quest. You receive the prince's robes as a reward.

Wil, who was explained about the ceremony on the way, walked forward towards the throne while a silver platter was brought by a soldier.

Raziel took an exquisite blue robe from it that's a bit similar to Rikilda's and handed it to Mirella, who then gave it to Wil. All of a sudden, a throne appeared beside Rikilda while everyone else clapped lightly with a smile.

Llyne prince's Robes

Grade: Legendary

Description: The royal robes of a prince of Llyne kingdom.

Skill: 100% defense

Speaking of costumes, as Heroic, and above grade outfits can naturally equip without removing the armor, Wil quickly equipped it and his armor was replaced by exquisite blue robes and he walked towards his thrones and took his seat.

*Ding. Congratulations on becoming the crown prince. You receive 5000 fame as a reward. Do you want to announce it over the Kingdom?

"Wow, 5000 fame? Let's see… I still need 1300 fame, huh. Favorability is no longer an issue until I reach Duke. The third one is a mission from King. I wonder what kind of mission will Mirella gives me…

Anyway, now that I'm crown prince, I guess it's time to wipe out my enemies from East Ocean City. But, before that, let me give them a scare…"

Wil then clicked on 'Yes' and the system made a kingdom-wide announcement.

*Ding. Congratulations player Time Traveler on becoming the crown prince of the Llyne kingdom.

What he doesn't know is that because of this one careless decision, once again, the future is about to change soon.

Dreamwalkers guild residence;

"Crown prince? Oh boy… this damn 'Hera' has done it. Now, what should I say to 'Dream' when he gets online," grumbled 'Sugar,' the Vice-leader or general of Dreamwalkers upon hearing the announcement.

Sugar: Hera, come to the guild residence, right now.

East Ocean City;

Supreme Master and Green Lantern became ecstatic while the guilds of Resistance went into a panic.

Eldershore city;

White Tiger banged his head on to the table before him in frustration upon hearing bad news in the form of an announcement when he was feeling headache from shareholders of his company in the real world who were selling their shares at a rapid rate.

"Damn… Was I cursed or something.

First, I was forced to develop here, then, my company's shares started declining, and now, some company is trying to buy our shares in secret. No matter how much I ask them, those damn directors won't even speak of it even after resigning.

And there are those two greedy guilds from the capital. Dreamwalkers, and Starlight. If not for me controlling so many guilds in the city, they might have already gobbled up my guild.

Everything is that damn internet café owner's fault. If only he wasn't there… Argh… Just thinking about him makes my blood boil..."

Just then, he received a text from his girlfriend from the outside world.

Wen: Baby, someone is interested to talk to you. Come out from the game, right now. Hurry up.
