Duke Nicolin walked down the corridor at White Moon Castle to the main hall, along with Lady Belle and Euphorion troops who followed him behind. As soon as he heard the explosion sound from the castle direction he immediately gathered his personal guards and went to the castle to help her daughter. But strange... he didn't find a single enemy and found Belle lying unconscious in the royal library. Besides that, Belle's condition was also strange, when she woke up she kept asking where the hunter had helped her yesterday, now even she refused to return to Moonspark's Residence before she could find him. It's makes no sense! How could a hunter could enter the castle freely?

Now, the situation is aggravated by the 'magic shield' disappearance and King Xenos's death, actually he is very grateful for his death but according to eyewitnesses King Xenos's killer has dark aura surround him and now... he has managed to defeat the four elemental spirits, which means he will become the next King of Euphorion.

"King Xenos is already bad enough! Now we has to deal with this terrible person. If he's allowed to rule over Euphorion then this kingdom will be destroyed in no time!"

He opened the door to the main hall and found other nobles along with other military leaders and their troops had also gathered there while the throne was still empty.

Duke Nicolin approached Chancellor Allan.

"How's the situation?" he asked, straight to the point.

Chancellor Allan shook his head.

"I don't know either, according to eyewitnesses this person choked King Xenos and threw him from the balcony. I also found some corpses in the dining room and some human bones in the magic room."

"What about the other casualties?" asked Duke Nicolin again.

Chancellor Allan shook his head again.

"Other than that, nothing."

"Nothing?" said Duke Nicolin in disbelief.

"That's what makes me confused, besides King Xenos, General Guillotine, some of the troops inside the dining hall and magic room there were no other casualties. I found some wounded troops outside the magic room but their injuries were not life-threatening. " answered Chancellor Allan.

Duke Nicolin frowned with a confused expression, since the throne struggle usually took many casualties.

Shortly, the main hall's door opened, a dark blue haired man wearing a black military uniform of Euphorion's troops entered the room followed by the four elemental spirits. They immediately blocked his way to the throne.

"You don't deserve the throne!" said Duke Nicolin.

The four elemental spirits took out their weapons, preparing to fight but he raised his hand and moved them down, ordering them to lower their weapons and they followed his orders.

"Sir Zel?!" Lady Belle shouted out of blue in surprised.

He turned to Lady Belle.

"Lady Belle, we meet again." he said casually.

Duke Nicolin turned his gaze to Lady Belle.

"Do you know him?"

"He was the hunter who helped me yesterday." answered Lady Belle.

Duke Nicolin turned his gaze back to Angel and observed at him in detail.

"Hunter? Why he's look different than other hunters?"

"Can you give me a way?" he said again, still in casual tone.

"No! You do not deserve to be the king of Euphorion!" said Chancellor Allan angrily.

"Why?" he asked briefly.

They went silent... They want to say 'because you are frightening' or 'there is no king who has dark power like you' but the reason is so absurd.

"Anyway you don't deserve to be our king." Chancellor Allan added.

He sighed in annoyance.

"Move!" he ordered.

"We will not-"

Before Duke Nicolin finished his sentence, suddenly Angel's eyes turned piercing cold, dark aura spread from him and filled the room, the atmosphere around them turned frightening. Everyone in the room trembled in fear as if their instincts were saying there was danger before them.

"Move!" he ordered again in intimidating voice.

Slowly, the people who blocked him stepped aside to give him a way while lowering their heads in fear, including Duke Nicolin.

He walked towards the throne followed by four elemental spirits, climbed the throne stage's stair, then he paused while staring at the king's crown crest of Euphorion behind the throne that reminded him of the lion's head crest Asteria, somehow even though he's a king now but he still feel nothing about it, not even a slightly of happiness.

"It never occurred me... I became a king at another kingdom. A foreign kingdom that isn't my homeland..."

Duke Nicolin took a deep breath and gathered his courage to ask about the mysterious hunter who suddenly appeared and overthrew King Xenos before him. He walked towards him and stopped right under the throne stage.

"Sir Zel, may-"

"Angelus Raizel." he said interrupting Duke Nicolin's words. He turned to face the center of the main hall.

"Sir Zel is just my nickname as a hunter, Angelus Raizel is my real name."

Instantly, the entire room was filled with people's murmurs, some of them staring at him with shocked expressions, some shaking their heads while whispering to others. Duke Nicolin fell silent when he heard that name. Who hasn't heard the news?

"Angelus Raizel? The second Prince of Asteria? Isn't he already executed?"

"Are you Angelus Raizel Reinheart? The second Prince of Asteria?" he asked.

He laughed sarcastically.

"Angelus Raizel Reinheart is dead. I'm Angelus Raizel Moonfall... King of Euphorion."

The whole room was filled with people's murmurs again.

"We haven't recognized you as our king yet!" one of them shouted, which is answered with a nod from the others.

He looked at them, he already knew it would be difficult for him to make them admit him but he had promised Prince Lucian to replace him protecting Euphorion so he would fullfill it.

Angel gave an evil smirk to them.

"It doesn't matter... I just need to make you acknowledge me." he said as he walked to the throne and sat there.

A man's voice broke people's murmurs in the room.

"Looks like you kept your promise, Angelus Raizel."

They quickly turned their gaze toward the source of the voice, in an instant their eyes widened in surprise and went silent when they saw Prince Lucian standing in their midst.

He glanced toward the back of the throne for a moment.

"It seems the late King Eiron hid the magic formation behind the throne, just like Prince Lucian statue at Pearl Gate City. King Eiron... His ability as a prophet is truly frightening." then he turned his gaze back to Prince Lucian.

"I'm not a person who likes to break my promises." he replied.

Prince Lucian turned his gaze to Duke Nicolin.

"It's been ten years, how are you, Duke Nicolin?" then he shifted his gaze to Chancellor Allan.

"Chancellor Allan?"

"P-Prince L-Lucian is that really you?" said Chancellor Allan stammered.

Prince Lucian smiled at Chancellor Allan.

"Of course it's me, but I'm only a part of his spirit. I'm not in this world anymore." then he turned his gaze to Angel.

"Therefore I entrust Euphorion to him..."
