Heavenly Saga

Chapter 277: Governor Kristoper Von Puant



After traveling for a few weeks through the territories of the Walkiria Kingdom, Kraftvoll and his companions were able to arrive at the nearest territory of Krieg Verwustet to the kingdom.

Unfortunately, the night came so Kraftvoll and his companions decided to stay in an inn midway through their way to the inner part of the Innere Territory.

After spending the waking up, the girls who were sleeping in the same room decided to go to Kraftvoll's room after they tidied themselves.

Princess Kyomi knocked very loudly on Kraftvoll's room's door while she was shouting, "Wake up, Kraftvoll!"

'What the!? It's morning already!?' Kraftvoll thought to himself as he woke up from Princess Kyomi's loud shout and knocks on his door. "I'm awake. I will just get ready so just wait for me!" shouted Kraftvoll.

Princess Kyomi stopped his loud shouts and knocks the moment she heard Kraftvoll. With that, Kraftvoll immediately stood up from his bed to start his morning preparation.

After a few minutes, Kraftvoll came out of his door. "That was fast!" Princess Kyomi said upon seeing Kraftvoll's face. When all of them finished getting ready, Kraftvoll and Princess Kyomi were just about to agree to depart from the inn when they heard something.

Belle's stomach suddenly growled due to her hungriness. Kraftvoll and Princess Kyomi glanced at her at the same time after hearing the young lady's stomach.

A moment later, the two of them laughed at the same time which made Belle embarrassed of what just happened. "Y-yo-you to-two!" said Belle while showing her embarrassed expression.

After laughing for a few moments, Kraftvoll said to his two companions, "How about we have some breakfast in the inn first before we depart?"

"Yeah! We need something to energize us for our journey, after all," said Princess Kyomi in response.

While they were walking toward the eating area of the inn, the two could not help but make fun of Belle so she was embarrassed until they reached their tables.

After eating for a few minutes, Kraftvoll and his companions decided to depart from the inn at the outskirts of Innere Territory. "Driver, let's go to the mansion of Governor Puant of the Innere Territory of this anarchic land, Krieg Verwustet!"

Upon hearing Kraftvoll's command, the driver of the carriage immediately flailed the horses in front of him.

After a few hours of traveling, Kraftvoll and the others were able to arrive at the inner part of the Innere Territory. Fortunately, they did not encounter any seishin beasts or bandits on their way to their destination.

Before arriving at the gate of the governor's mansion, Kraftvoll decided to halt the carriage for a moment. A second after the carriage's halt, Kraftvoll came out of it to do something.

After seeing Kraftvoll, both Ouryuu and Angela followed by Azrael and Azari immediately descended in front of him.

Seeing that the four seishin beasts came in front of him, Kraftvoll's said to them, "We are about to arrive at the governor's mansion. We will call for the four of you when we are going to depart so you can explore the outskirts part of the territory. Don't wander away too much or else we would not able to search for you. One last thing: the four of you are responsible for your own food. See you four later!"

After hearing Kraftvoll, the four seishin beast partners of theirs immediately ascended through the sky together. A moment later, they soared together in the western direction.

A moment after that, Kraftvoll immediately rode on the carriage for them to continue on their way to the governor's mansion.

Upon seeing the carriage entering the mansion of the governor, the guards in front of the gate decided to check the identity of Kraftvoll and the others. "What are your affiliations, my lord and my ladies?" asked the guard as he peeked toward the window of the carriage.

A moment later, Princess suddenly spoke up saying, "I am Princess Kyomi von Stolz, Daughter of His Majesty the king, King Arthur von Stolz."

While she was saying those words, Princess Kyomi showed the insignia of the royal family of the Walkiria Kingdom. Upon seeing the insignia of the Stolz Royal Family, the guard who asked the question suddenly bowed down as low as he possibly can.

A moment later, he said with all sincerity, "Forgive me for my impertinence, Your Highness! The Governor wanted us to be vigilant of everything due to the situation so I did what I did earlier!"

"Well, it is not a big deal. You can announce my arrival because we have to talk with the governor," said Princess Kyomi as a response to the guard.

"As you command, Your Highness!" said the guard the moment he heard the command of the human princess. 

A moment later, the guard shouted at the top of his lungs, "Her Highness, Princess Kyomi von Stolz had arrived to ask for an audience to His Lordship, Governor Kristoper von Puant!"

The gate of the governor's mansion was suddenly opened upon hearing the guard declaration of Princess Kyomi's arrival.

The carriage where Kraftvoll and the two young ladies were riding stooped right at the entrance of the mansion of the governor. The three teenagers went out shortly after that.

To their surprise, an old man which was cladded with golden armor suddenly appeared in front of them. Despite the surprise of Kraftvoll and the others, the old man greeted the human princess, "Greetings, Your Highness! His Majesty the king already notified me that you are going to arrive at my humble mansion. Please let me escort the three of you."

He was the governor of the Innere Territory assigned by King Arthur himself. He is known as Governor Kristoper von Puant, the Mighty Governor of Innere Territory.

"I will escort the three of you personally to your own rooms. We will start talking about that matter tomorrow morning because it seems like the three of you are exhausted from your long journey," said the governor.

After hearing the governor, Kraftvoll's expression suddenly changed into something serious.

A moment later, he said to the governor, "With all due respect, sir governor, we want to talk about it now. We must know the situation now because we have to depart from your mansion first thing in the morning. We couldn't afford to waste our time idling here."

Instead of reacting negatively, Governor Puant just smiled after hearing Kraftvoll. He glanced toward him while he said, "If that's what you want, the only student of His Majesty. The Holy Alliance did not even hesitate to wage war on your behalf so who am I to not follow you?"

Kraftvoll could not help but be annoyed by what he heard from the mouth of the governor. 'Is he being sarcastic, right now!?' Kraftvoll thought to himself while he was holding his anger.

Since there was a change of plan, Governor Puant immediately went toward his study. Without any hesitation, Kraftvoll and his two companions followed him without making any fuss about it.

Upon arriving, the governor of the Innere Territory sat on his very chair as soon as they entered the room. "Make yourselves, comfortable," said the governor after he sat.

As soon as the three of them were able to sit, the governor decided to get on the point without any hesitation or whatsoever.

"What questions do you have for me, Your Highness, my lady, and my lord?"

Upon hearing the governor, Kraftvoll decided to ask a question without wasting any more time. He asked, "Sir governor, can you tell us the general information we need to know for this ongoing war?"

The face of the governor who was just easy going suddenly changed into something extremely serious. A moment later, he answered Kraftvoll's saying, "The war started seven years ago after the declaration of the pillar of our Holy Alliance after the Schild City was attacked by those wretched people from the Dark Alliance."

Both of Kraftvoll and Belle's expressions suddenly changed into something sour after hearing the governor. After all, it was a bitter experience for the two of them.

The two of them did not show it so the governor just continued on what he was saying. He said to them, "The war between our Holy Alliance and those bastards from the Dark Alliance was pretty much at a stalemate. After the declaration of war, our side sent our best seishin practitioners to fight against those vicious monsters. The Dark Alliance also sent their best seishin practitioners to fight as if they were expecting the move of our side."

'Those wretched beings are really cunning! It seemed like they already expected for Master and the other pillars of the Holy Alliance to make that move. I will make them pay for what they had done someday when I reached the top!' Kraftvoll thought to himself as they listened to the governor of Innere Territory.

Governor Kristoper sighed after saying that last sentence. After a few moments, he said, "That was until..."
