“This is delicious!” Exclaimed Druid Oz as he munched the meat of the served fish.

“Hahaha! Of course, it is! The torrent Arganian fish is a food praised and adored by everyone in the Eastaria continent!” the Galhala King proudly stated as he loudly laughed as he usually did.

“You’re quite a glutton, huh, Ren?” Commented Charnia as he saw Druid Oz munching the meat at a fast speed.

“A magician needs to fill their stomach in order to replenish their mana, dear child. So for a great magician like me, I need to eat a lot in order to replenish all of my mana used in the battle before!” (Druid Oz)

“Charnia, Lord Ren has saved your life two times. Don’t bother him and let him eat his fill,” Scolded the Galhala Queen.

“Fine, mother…” (Charnia)

“But really… This spectacle is rather something…” Muttered Claria as she saw the scene in front of her.

Because of Druid Oz’s eating pace, it seems that the Galhala King’s hidden barbaric personality got triggered as it looks like he’s competing with Druid Oz who could eat the most Torrent Argania fish.

“Dear…” Muttered the Galhala Queen as she saw his husband’s behavior with a sigh.

Since the situation has calmed down, the Galhala Queen invited Druid Oz to further continue the discussion at the dinner since all of them haven’t eaten yet. Druid Oz hesitated since he was afraid he didn’t know the proper table manner of the Owlfolks, but after getting slightly forced by Charnia, Claria, the Galhala King, and the Galhala Queen, he finally surrendered and accepted the offer.

Allomere refused to eat together, saying that he will re-check the kingdom’s ministers and verify whether they are their allies or not. They try to slightly force the prime minister into joining the dinner too but he smartly escaped from the grasp of the terrifying Galhala royal family.

After eating lots of dishes, Druid Oz and the Galhala King finally stopped since their belly seems to be ready to explode anytime.

“Whoa! That’s quite a feast!” Exclaimed the Galhala King with a refreshed look. He looks just like a full middle-aged man as he closed his eyes as if he’s savoring the sensation of bliss.

“T-That’s a rather unsightly behavior I’ve shown you, please forgive me,” Druid Oz bowed towards the Galhala King, Claria, and Charnia.

“Hahahaha! It’s fine, Lord Ren! It’s been so long since I enjoyed eating carefreely like this! You have my gratitude!” said the Galhala King as he loudly laughed.

“Yes, it’s our joy to see that you’re enjoying the food served by our kingdom, Lord Ren. But for you, dear. If your weight increased by even a pound, you’ll be sleeping in a different room. You’ll just break the bed, after all,” (The Galhala Queen)

“D-Dear! Please don’t do that! I’ll fly across the kingdom tomorrow to burn some fat!” said the Galhala King in panic.

“And neglect your duty as a king?” (The Galhala Queen)

“U-Ugh…” The Galhala King groaned as he couldn’t think anything else.

“It’s the usual thing for both of them, Lord Ren. You see, Father had fallen heads over heels for mother, after all,” said Claria with a whisper.

“I see… Well, that’s a good thing, don’t you think?” (Druid Oz)

“Well, it’s true that because of that he will not take any mistress or concubine, though… And it’s kind of funny too to see him like this,” said Claria as she smiled at the sight of her father gettings scolded by her mother.

“And your highness, there is no need for you to call me Lord Ren. You could just call me Ren,” (Druid Oz)

“B-But you’re an emperor of an empire!” (Claria)

“It’s fine! I’m just a clone. And the empire is not in this continent, after all,” (Druid Oz)

“It’s fine, sis! Even I called Ren, Ren!” (Charnia)

“I’m not as tactless as you, little girl,” (Claria)

“What did you say!?” (Charnia)

“Now, now. There is no need for you to be angry, child,” said Druid Oz as he pats Charnia’s head.

“Now, let’s start to continue our conversation before, shall we, Lord Ren?” said the Galhala King.

“Indeed. Let’s continue, your majesty,” (Druid Oz)

“The truth is, the reports of the demons’ appearance had appeared from the scouts since two months ago. They first spotted and commence battle with them at the northern side of the Eastaria continent,” (The Galhala King)

“There are only several encounters with the demons until now, and it had been just a single or mostly three demons that appeared. But despite their small numbers, since it’s demons, I ordered a thorough military investigation about it, and also shared the report and my ideas to the neighboring countries,” (The Galhala King)

“But the problem is…” (The Galhala King)

“The problem is…?” (Druid Oz)

“There are several countries who refused to help with the investigation in their area, and after a month of investigation, Allomere and I agreed to conclude that the demons appeared because of the forbidden demonic rituals formed by a neighboring country,” (The Galhala King)

“And the reason is?” (Druid Oz)

“The point of the appearance always at the same as before, and after confining one of the demons that have seemed to be a former human, we believe that it is a citizen from the Balhol empire,” (The Galhala King)

“I see…” (Druid Oz)

“We’re thinking of gathering more legit proofs to share with the other kingdoms and empires in order to attack the Balhol empire and force them to stop their demonic research, but…” (The Galhala King)

“But?” (Druid Oz)

“We started to get occasionally attacked by the demonic forces. Sometimes, the demons who attacked us were just demonic pawns, sometimes they are demonized magic beasts, some times they are an army of demonized Owlfolks,” said The Galhala King as his expression darkens.

“I see…” (Druid Oz)

(Well, it must be a nightmare…) (Druid Oz)

Getting attacked by the demons that have a similar appearance as us is terrifying enough to make a shock attack, especially for Owlfolks who hold dear their fellow race.

(Again, huh…) (Druid Oz)

But not only the Galhala King’s face, but the others also shows how a nightmare it had been. But for Druid Oz…

He could understand and imagine their pain, but he felt nothing inside.

(It seems that my, no, our emotions started to fade as our real heart isn’t existed in this body, huh… I wonder if the other clones felt the same thing…?) (Druid Oz)

“Luckily, the warriors of this kingdom are strong, so defeating the demons are not a threat at all, but…” (The Galhala King)

“But the real threat is that those who got injured started to get infected and got transformed into a demon, huh…” (Druid Oz)

“Precisely… Since then, we’ve been trying our best to focus on defense without having any of us getting injured or wounded by the infected demons…” (The Galhala King)

“I see… That’s also the reason why I got confined when the first time the first princess met me bringing Charnia. And that’s also the reason why she immediately checked whether she got injured or not, huh…” (Druid Oz)

“Yes, you’re right, Lord Ren. We’ve called back all of our wandering guards and only leave our scouts to check if there is an attack so that we could still react quickly, but their safety is our priority,” (The Galhala King)

“Have you tried asking help from the other kingdoms?” Asked Druid Oz.

“We have. But there is still no reply from the kingdoms that had to make an alliance pact with us. It seems that they’re also experiencing the same thing as our kingdom did,” (The Galhala King)

“That… Means that the continent is in a great threat, huh…” Muttered Druid Oz.

“Yes, but after that attack from that self-proclaimed demon, we’ve now a reason to request help from the guardians,” (The Galhala King)

“The guardians?” (Druid Oz)

“Yes, the guardians. The guardians of Galho’ole, they are the most powerful warriors who protect the whole Eastaria continent. All of them have at least the same strength as Allomere and mine,” (The Galhala King)

“Well, of course! Grandpa used to be the leader of the guardians, after all!” said Charnia.

!!??

“C-Charnia” (Claria)

“It’s fine, Claria. I about to tell Lord Ren about him too, after all. Yes, Allomere used to be the leader of the guardians and I am the vice leader. Well, I retired since I need to inherit the royal throne of this kingdom, but it turns out that Allomere also retired and want to follow me to this kingdom and became the prime minister here,” (The Galhala King)

“And there is also another person from the guardians who followed us, he is-” (The Galhala King)

“The late general, General Avlantine…” (Druid Oz)
