(At noon, In a room, In the Palace of the Second Kingdom)

It hadn't been long since Ryuu and his friends left the palace of the sea kingdom.

With many ships on the vast sea, a large navy had prepared, as fast as the sea could push them, it was only a matter of time before they stepped on land. Dozens of soldiers and pirates drew their swords and were attacked by order of certain command leaders, as their ship sat on the east of the palace.

And chaos was set free, with the one that had been waiting, arrived.

As King Heinrich and King Egnor were reviewing the treaty of alliance between them, in the furthest room that was located in the west, a well-known name came into the room decisively. Many of the purple fogs created at the feet level, entered the room with him, while a cloaked man on the middle side of the door stepped in, spreading fear in the environment where it was.

"Miron."

The wind hit the entirety of the room, while he entered the room, having a cold manner, with his head down and his face half visible. With the fogs slowly fading behind his back, he threw his cloak back, and his sinister face greeted both of the kings sitting down at the table,

"I think you both already know why I'm here."

"It depends, someone like you smells blood miles away, but holds its own scent secret."

The king added to his words, giving Miron a serious look,

"Why are you here Miron?"

"I'm looking for someone. And I was told I could find him here. So as a normal person would do, I made all my way to right here, to maybe find a "hint"."

"I don't know who this person is you're looking for, but you're getting into more than the kind of contradiction than you would want. You don't back down, and also walk into the flames directly. Even if you are a hunter, you should know where you should stand, Miron."

These words have made Miron angered just like before, the memories of him trying to reason with the other kings, But he said, just as calmly as he could be,

"I'm standing where I should have been like ever before, but it seems you two aren't on the same page with me. That seems I will make my time fade away as I talk to you with your ignorance and selfishness upon you."

"What did you say!?" King Egnor roared.

"I have already known that "the boy" has already made his way here, with his fellow companions. It is just an effortless thing that you are trying to cover the mess you all did. So right to the center of our discussion, where shall, that boy would be?"

"We have nothing to tell you."

And just as angry as him, King Heinrich responded to Miron, putting his hand in front of King Egnor to silence him,

"Say what you want Miron. We will not bow to you like the ones above you."

"Oh? Them? I don't work for those rabbles. I have my own dreams and beliefs from one another, to be proven, unlike their souls that can be easily obtained with a pinch of fear. Just like you, sitting at the corner of your room, letting all of your men die for a purpose most of them wouldn't care about, I will not retain myself from finding an end to this unsettling situation."

"You are only chasing after your dreams because they are fun to you, not because it is right!"

"Oh, but does it make it wrong? Wrong for me to chase all these repellent "people" out of the distinctive civilization that I have created for many years? And to think you are the ones that move me out of that way is baffling."

He then added, with a much more sinister grin,

"How does it feel to leave your men out just for your sake? Does it feel good for your king's greed?"

The king clenched his fist, anger within him, rising to the very top,

"It is true that we fought with the soldiers with the epic in the war. But we were only defending the incoming soldiers the war had put on. We have no information about who they are nor where they were going. It is you that accusing is for it."

"You are a great king in a whole kingdom, but you don't even know about such an incident? How ironic."

After attracting the king's attention to himself, King Egnor, lowering his voice, approached King Heinrich and tried to say a few things,

"I am aware of what you are trying to do, King Heinrich. But my advice to you is not to fight against a union that has power. The epics may not like each other, but what they hate most is that an outside force stops them. When they hear you're helping him, they might even bring this kingdom down on us."

"Don't you strain your own mind over the choices I have taken charge of, King Egnor. I'm not afraid of anything that my eyes can see, nor the punishment. I only fear this man avoiding my capability of ruling and hurting my people."

He then looked at King Egnor, leaving a few last phrases between them, Before he finally turned to Miron,

"I know that you want the Kid very badly, Miron. But since that child is not any part of my concern, you should also know that there is no sense in you scolding a king. Thus, you have come this far, and it seems that the situation is quite different for you." The room echoed once more, after the brief silence.

The king was pointing out to Miron with an open mouth that he was a coward. For him to stand in front of him was not a way he could scare him, but was just a buffoonery that he did to himself. Of course, he was angry, and was against a thing like this, and many many things that Miron had done in the past, King Heinrich, could not allow him to even enter his kingdom in a disturbing and damaging way.

It was a matter thus he shall think.

But the fact is that Miron was a monster, a hunter, who did not bow even to kings, made the situation even, and moreover better for Miron. In fact, he felt no fear, or even a massive grudge against the high-toned and excessively offensive words made by King Egnor at the start of his talks; he simply stood there, horrifying another person, as he had before.

And The King, He had angered Miron.

In order to kill the king, he approached swiftly, with not even a step away, and raised his hand in the air. His hand was bright red, which had previously been covered with other people's blood and drips were falling heavily. Under his cloak, he extended his hand menacingly towards the king, and just stood there. But for some unknown reason, he stopped this movement halfway, so as not to fall victim to the momentary nerve.

And after looking at the King's eyes deeply, piercing through the barriers through his soul mentally with his eyes, Miron continued his sentences,

"I have taken the life of that pity protector of the village, and took everything away that he had. There isn't a single thing that I couldn't do with them, and I will not let this go under until you two tell me something about it. So, is it more important than your whole kingdom, Heinrich?"

King Heinrich had many assassinations before this particular attempt and was immune to the unnecessary fear that he could have and the pressure he could put upon himself. He, as a king had to do, knew every threat option Miron could have. Everything that could happen to him. So he had to leave everything to an instantaneous decision at that moment, but soon he didn't back down and continued the talk where they left off.

"When the time comes, you and this child will all be erased from this world. Everyone single one of you. So live this precious concept called time to the last drop, or you may not even get a chance to hear the bells of tomorrow."

Miron then slowly turned away from the king, and left there, suddenly disappearing into the fog that he created earlier.

The king's room was now a completely empty space, and it was a dim environment that only contained silence. The situation was such discomfort for both of the kings, both of them had an uneasy feeling from the very beginning to the very end. After Miron left, they just stood there with their bodies shaking from the natural fear that Miron gave, and it caused their bodies to shake.

And that after Miron left, king Egnor quickly approached King Heinrich and began to check if anything happened to him from the encounter,

"Are you all right, King Heinrich?"

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. There's nothing I can be afraid of about him. But the ship that left earlier is of great importance to us. I can only hope that our heroes will arrive in the kingdom before Miron. Otherwise, big trouble will catch them."
