A Highest Rank in Another World!

Feeling my hands getting cold, I decided to take a deep breath and be quiet. No one seemed to notice what I was feeling.

I didn't want to make my mother worry about me again.

'I have to get it out of my head.' Thinking about the war is just making me nervous since I can't do anything about it. But I honestly don't know why I feel so bad.

I've had other bouts of nervousness in my old life, or even in this life, but this is the first time I've felt this way.

'Maybe because my body is weak?' That could be it.

But trying not to think about the war, I continued to eat quietly while listening to my parents' conversation. To tell the truth, I was so distracted that I couldn't understand what they were talking about.

And as I put another piece of meat in my mouth, I noticed my mother looking at me looking a little worried.

"Are you okay, Noah? You look a little pale." She said as she got ready to stand up.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little sleepy. I'm going to go to my room now." Saying this I got up to walk to my room. Lari who noticed my leaving stopped acting weird and started to follow me.

"Are you okay?" 

Lari asked as she chased after me and walked into my bedroom along with me.

"Yeah, I'm just tired, I'm going to lie down for a bit." 

I replied and then immediately took off my shoes and threw myself on the bed.

'Haaa~~ I hope when I wake up I'm better.' Even though it was lunchtime and I hadn't been up that long, I slept quickly.

In the capital, then a few days passed, things had calmed down.

Today, help from the city of Hvaleyri had arrived in the capital, bringing a large number of volunteers to help.

The residents of Hvaleyri had received the information about the attack from the guild master, as had every city in the country, so a large wave of people was marching towards the capital to help.

And since the city of Hvaleyri was one of the closest, they were the first to arrive.

Bringing a large number of soldiers and also people who volunteered to help, they arrived in the capital and initially began treating the residents with serious injuries.

There were not so many of them, since with time their wounds would heal. Those with minor injuries had completely healed by now.

And in addition to treating the injuries of many residents in a makeshift medical post on the main street of the capital. The soldiers and volunteers also began to collect the bodies from the streets and inside the houses.

They were separated into small groups and were split up all over the capital to pick up all the bodies. But of course, not everyone could do such a dirty job.

Some volunteers and soldiers who couldn't bear to look at the wounds and also at the mutilated bodies began to feel ill.

And since they didn't want to "stand still", some of them decided to help prepare food in the community canteen that had been set up for all the residents of the capital right in the center of the city.

And some of them also helped in the care of some children that had been placed in an "Orphanage" quickly set up by the competent authority that was in the capital. Which in this case was the queen.

Burials had been discarded because of the number of victims, so only holes were opened around the whole capital by mages who came from Hvaleyri and also some people who could use magic and were in the capital.

"This is much worse than I imagined, how many people did they kill?" A soldier said as he placed the body of a woman in a carriage that was modified to accommodate a large number of bodies.

"I have no idea, but it will take us quite a while to clean everything up." Another soldier held the body of a child that was next to the woman's body. They threw the two bodies into the carriage.

"From what they said more help will arrive in a few days, we can only wait."

"Yes. Our mages can no longer bear to dig holes to throw the bodies into."

"..."

The soldiers soon after went to another house and removed some more bodies while chatting normally.

The guild master inside his room was looking at a downcast woman sitting in a chair. She was drinking a cup of tea while still shaking slightly.

"You've been like this since you got here, you need to calm down. The girls downstairs are already being taken care of by other people, so you don't need to worry about them." The guild master said as he looked at Royma.

After the capital attack ended and the magic was removed, Royma was found by the guild master. She was then brought to the adventurers' guild along with her female employees.

It was a bit difficult to get through a large number of bodies near the gate. Only Royma kept her eyes open, the female employees were told to close their eyes, so they didn't see anything that was there.

Then they all took a shower when they arrived at the adventurers' guild. They were wearing some clothes borrowed from the guild master.

The guild master called some people to take care of the employees that had come along with Royma, and he was responsible for staying with her and taking care of her. They were very good friends, so Royma saw no problem with this.

And so a few days had passed and we arrived at the present moment.

"I'm sorry, it's just... I can't stop thinking about Tineever, and everything I've seen. My mind is a mess."

"It's all right. Don't worry."

"..."

"I'm not going to ask about what happened in Tineever because I'm sure you don't want to talk about it right now. But I think I have an idea of what happened..."

The guild master looked sadly at Royma. Then the woman lowered her head and closed her eyes.

"It's okay, I can talk about it, but I'll try to sum things up a bit."

"No problem, if it gets hard for you, you'd better stop talking, all right?"

"Okay."

Saying this, Royma took another sip of tea and then began to tell everything that had happened in Tineever.

How the attack happened, the bodies she saw, what happened to her employee who works in the guild. She talked about everything, about how the town had been turned into "Nothing" since everyone was dead.

The guild master listened to everything attentively, but he also could not help but get emotional when Royma talked about the mother holding her child in her arms. It was something that would make anyone sick.

"I see, you have been through a lot..." The guild master didn't quite know what to talk.

"Sniff... Sniff..." Royma who had started to cry again wiped her tears away. But even if she wiped them away, her tears again wet her entire face.

The guild master watched that scene without being able to do much to help her.

"I've never seen her like this before, she really..." He said as he squeezed his hand and felt extremely helpless in this situation. 

'Maybe I should have gone to Tineever when I realized she wasn't responding? Could I have made it there in time? I don't know.'

In Beastled, the king was still impatient while not knowing exactly what was going on.

"Where are those motherfuckers armors? They said they'd be back soon!" The king shouted as he punched the arm of his throne. The nearby soldiers seemed to be reveling in this.

'Maybe they betrayed me? No, he told me that these armors would obey me.' The king began to bite his nails as he thought about what to do. 

After a few seconds passed, he jumped off the throne and then left the room, going to his room. When he entered, there was a huge bed with an eye-catching red sheet.

Besides a luxurious closet and a table full of beauty products that were used by the queen and also the king.

"Can you send someone to talk to me? What happened to those armors?" The fox boy shouted as he looked impatient. 

"Won't you talk to me?" He shouted again and waited for an answer for a while longer. Then, while he thought nothing would happen, he finally got an answer.

On the floor in front of the bedroom door, a white circle appeared. As the circle began to glow even brighter, the king stepped back while shielding his eyes from the light. 

"Who are you? Did he send you here?" he looked at a small child of about nine years old standing in front of the door. The small child had long red hair that went down to his waist.

The child was wearing a black dress with a red bow tied around her waist. The hem of her dress was hitting the floor.

But what was most striking was her appearance.

Her eyes looked like the eyes of a snake. Her whole eye was red and her pupils were black.

In her mouth, several pointed teeth caught the king's attention. Her canines were also larger than normal, much like the teeth of a vampire.

"I am...." The girl said with a childish voice as she looked at her hands that displayed large black claws.
