True King's Ecstasy



The hall fell into an eerie silence as Velian stood amidst the lifeless bodies of the soldiers who dared to challenge him. Blood adorned his face, giving him a fearsome countenance that struck terror into the hearts of all who gazed upon him. The nobles, kings, and attendants present in the hall could hardly believe their eyes as they witnessed the aftermath of the deadly encounter.

Daphnia, Velian's mother, watched her son with a mix of concern and unease. Her maternal instincts urged her to rush to his side, to wipe away the blood and ensure his safety. Yet, she couldn't help but acknowledge the undeniable power emanating from him, a force that demanded respect and instilled a certain uneasiness within her.

Even though she had powered up somewhat compared to her past self, it wasn't even close to the power Velian had.

Kyla, on the other hand, stood a few paces away from Daphnia, her eyes shining with admiration. She had long been aware of Velian's exceptional abilities, but witnessing him in action had ignited a new level of awe within her. The stars seemed to dance in her eyes as she surveyed the scene, her admiration for Velian growing with every passing moment.

"Ughh~ teacher, I can understand why you can't resist his charm, "She murdered under her breath and looked at the nobles that were shivering in fear.

Breaking the silence, a trembling voice called out from among the nobles,

"W-What... what manner of power is this? Who is this monster?"

"Yes, he is a monster, we should ask help from the guild to kill this monster,"

Velian turned his gaze towards the source of the voice, his eyes piercing and filled with quiet resolve.

"I am Velian, son of Daphnia and the current ruler and the progenitor of Keller Bloodline. The power you witness is but a fraction of what I possess."

The assembled nobles and kings exchanged wary glances, unsure of how to respond to this revelation. They had gathered in the hall with their own agendas and ambitions, but now those concerns seemed trivial in comparison to the enigma standing before them.

"Run! Run! Yes let's run for our lives," They said and tried to leave, but Veliam used his True King's aura and made them freeze in fear.

Some of them soiled their pants, while others went crazy with how intense their fear was.

Another voice chimed in that belonged to the seasoned warrior, Jason, filled with both curiosity and apprehension. "Velian, if you possess such power, why do you unleash it in such a manner? These were humans, our protectors. Do you know the damage you're causing to humanity,"

"Damage? I don't know what you're talking about, I just killed people that were about to kill me, that's it,"

"Don't blame me, it's their own fault for approaching me, I will kill anyone that tries to harm me, and you're free to kill me if I harm you, let's not try to be hypocritical here,"

His words hit straight in Jason's heart. Until now, he didn't meet someone like Velian who could rival their power, but right now what he felt was pure weakness and hopelessness.

As the hall continued to simmer with a palpable tension, Velian's piercing gaze shifted towards the figure seated on the grand throne—the king.

The king, a regal and imposing presence, had watched the unfolding events with a mix of apprehension and curiosity. Velian didn't expect him to be calm after what happened, but looking at him right now, Velian was easily able to tell that he is not a fool like Rapidclaw king.

Even though he was sacred, his heart was beating like a perpetual machine, Montero king didn't show it in his face.

Velian's eyes narrowed with a sense of purpose as he addressed the monarch hoping, they would be able to conclude their hostility.

"King Alonso Montero," Velian's voice resonated with authority, cutting through the silence like a blade,

"Beware the lurking darkness will consume your kingdom even before I can," Velian didn't want any innocent people to fall victim to these parasites, so he thought about giving a warning.

"Those monsters that kept haunting your city, they are some type of a parasite that takes the body of living beings,"

Everyone who heard it jumped from their seats except Alonso.

'Ohh~ so he knew about it, looks like this isn't the first time they got attacked'

Velian thought and analysed Alonso's body to see whether he is already infected, but luckily he was just a normal person with a normal rank, so he didn't have to worry about anything unwanted.

"And, I'm willing to restart our relationship anytime, after my travel, I will send my ambassador, if you want to start an alliance I'm all up for it, but don't think about petty tricks, because if I caught you cheating, I will destroy this kingdom just like how I did with the Rapidclaw Kingdom."

Velian said those words and went back to his team.

"Let's continue our journey, we don't have time to waste anymore," Velian said those words and grabbed everyone and left the room leavening shivering nobles and dead bodies of the soldiers lying on the floor.

While they were walking out, Daphnia took her handkerchief and cleaned Velian's face while questioning.

"Velian, my son, are you certain it is wise to make such bold statements before the king of the Montero Kingdom? We must tread carefully, for the delicate threads of diplomacy can easily fray."

Velian's gaze softened as he turned to face his mother, the weight of his decisions etched upon his features.

"Mother, I understand your concerns, but I have no intentions of forming alliances with these greedy nobles in the first place. The future of this kingdom cannot be left in their hands."

"If I ally with them, somehow they will betray it and try to take advantage of it,"

Daphnia's eyes widened, a mix of surprise and apprehension glimmering within them. "Velian, what do you mean? Are you suggesting something more... drastic?"

He smiled at her words without saying anything, but both Daphnia and Kyla knew what it meant.
