Chapter 22: What is happening
Luu Luu sighed. "What happened, what were these orcs"
Then they saw a bird, as it landed on of Luu Luu knight as she saw a letter, she gave the letter to Luu Luu
Luu Luu saw the letter she opened and then her eyes widents. "I see, everyone gets ready we are going to Feoh, Celestine sama has summond all the Princes knights"
Luu Luu's expression hardened as she read the letter, her eyes narrowing with each line. The message from Celestine was clear: whatever was happening with the orcs, it was part of something much larger. And now, all of the Princes Knights were being summoned to Feoh for an urgent council.
She folded the letter and turned to her knights, their faces weary but resolute. They had just survived a brutal battle, and now they were being called to a greater conflict. There would be no rest, not yet.
"Everyone, listen up!" Luu Luu shouted, her voice cutting through the air. "We've been summoned by Celestine-sama. All of the Princes Knights are to gather at Feoh immediately."
Her knights exchanged glances, some of them still catching their breath, others checking their weapons and armor. One of her lieutenants, a tall knight with a scar running across her cheek, stepped forward.
"What does Celestine-sama want from us now?" the lieutenant asked, her tone cautious but respectful. "Is this about the orcs we just fought?"
Luu Luu nodded. "It's bigger than that. There's something unnatural happening, not just with these orcs but with the entire Dark Lands. We don't have all the answers yet, but Celestine-sama believes this could be the beginning of a greater threat."
A murmur rippled through the group. They had faced many challenges before, but the way Luu Luu spoke made it clear that this was unlike anything they had encountered. And the mention of all the Princes Knights being summoned together? That was rare.
The lieutenant squared her shoulders. "Then we'll be ready. We've fought worse, and we'll fight this too."
Luu Luu nodded, grateful for the loyalty of her people. "We leave at dawn. Prepare your gear, and make sure the wounded are seen to. We need to be in fighting shape by the time we reach Feoh."
As her knights moved to follow her orders, Luu Luu took a moment to look at the battlefield one last time. The sight of the armored orcs, their twisted bodies strewn across the ground, sent a chill through her. These creatures weren't normal, and if the masked man was involved, then things were going to get far worse before they got better.
She clenched her fist, her resolve hardening. Whatever awaited them in Feoh, whatever this looming threat was, she would face it head-on. She had to. There was no other choice.
The other princess knights also got this letter.
Alicia looked at her letter before looking at Prim. "Let's go prim"
Prim looked at her sister and noded. "Ok, let's go sister, I wonder why Celestine sama has summond us"
In a different place Claudia with her was a sliver hair man, he looked Avanger and and a bit attractive but that was it, some people don't believe he is his father son, even his father, this man was Klaus Levantine he was Claudia husband.
Claudia looked at the latter. "Sorry husband, I just go"
Klaus looked at her and gave her a smile. "I will be waiting for you"
Claudia just smiled and looked at her husband. "Don't worry I will come back soon"
She they got in her horse as they started to go, Maia who was already in Feoh, was called directly, and so was Kaguya the two knight moved as they arrives to a room, with round table and 8 chair, as one by one each of princes knight took there seat, as Celetsine finally arrived.
Claudia looked at Celestine. "Celestine-sama what is the meaning of this sorry to be sounding rude".
Celestine looked at all them, why she had called them was because of her Vision, but right now she only needs to tell a small bit, only about the Orcs. "The reason for this is I had a Vision"
Alicia looked at the goddes Reborn. "It is a good thing right".
Celestine's expression was somber as she surveyed the gathered knights. The atmosphere in the room was tense; the weight of her vision hung heavily over them all.
"Not exactly," she replied, her voice steady but low. "The vision I had was of a growing darkness in the Dark Lands. I saw hordes of orcs, but not the orcs we've faced before. They were different—stronger, more organized, and driven by a hunger that goes beyond mere survival."
Claudia frowned, her mind racing. "You mean to say they're evolving? Or maybe even… being manipulated?"
"Precisely," Celestine affirmed. "It appears that there is a force at work that is both empowering and guiding them. I cannot see all the details yet, but this threat is unlike any we have faced in the past. We need to prepare for war."
Maia leaned forward, her eyes narrowed in determination. "What can we do? If they're gathering strength, we can't afford to wait. We should send scouts or form a larger coalition."
"Agreed," Kaguya added, her voice calm yet firm. "But we need to be strategic. Charging in recklessly could lead to devastating losses. We must gather more information first."
Prim raised a hand, drawing the attention of the others. "What about the reports of the orcs eating their fallen? What does that mean? We can't underestimate their hunger; it could be a sign of desperation or something far worse."
Celestine nodded, acknowledging the concern. "Exactly. They are not merely a rabble of mindless monsters anymore. They have a purpose, and they are becoming a formidable force."
Alicia frowned, glancing at her sister. "If they're being empowered by some outside influence, then we have to find out who or what that is. It could lead us to the source of this threat."
As the knights exchanged ideas, Celestine raised a hand to silence them. "Before we make any decisions, I want to share what I saw in my vision. There were not only orcs but also a figure in a mask, one who seems to be orchestrating this chaos. We need to identify this person and understand their motives."
Klaus, who had entered the room quietly and stood by Claudia, spoke up. "Then we should split our forces to gather intelligence. Some of us can scout the borders of the Dark Lands, while others can investigate any signs of this masked figure in the surrounding kingdoms."
Celestine nodded. "That is a wise plan. We'll need to act swiftly and discreetly. I cannot stress enough how urgent this situation is."
As the meeting continued, the knights felt a mix of anxiety and determination. They knew the gravity of what lay ahead, and each of them was prepared to face the darkness together.
With the council concluded, they started to form their teams, readying themselves for the battles that awaited them in the Dark Lands. They understood that their unity and resolve would be tested like never before, but they would not back down. The fate of their kingdoms—and possibly the world—rested on their shoulders.
Celestine then looked at Luu Luu. "You said that you wanted to say something Luu Luu"
Luu Luu looked at her. "I wanted to give a misses from Aiden, But now I don't think it is time"
"But it is"
The group then saw someone, it was Kotarou he landed and everyone looks at the oni ninja, as he landed
Kotarou just looked at all them who were ready to attack. "You all need better security, but this message is from lord Aiden"
He gave ea letter to Celestine, as then Maia went to attack, but them Kotarou just desiper as everyone just stopped and just looked at the letter.
Maia just spoke. "Ok sense when did Aiden have a.. spy?"
Kaguya was shocked as Kotarou desiper. "He was a ninja but how"
Celestine then opened a letter. "Oh he wants to meet now, he said his supires is ready... The worst time to go to the Neutral Area"
Meanwhile back with Aiden
Aiden just looked at Radomira. "As I said kill them all"
Radomira just looked at him. "Kill everyone in trh Kuroinu mercenary, even the ones who have good in there heart"
Aiden just looked at her with a darkness in his eyes. "We both know what they will do, we both watched Kuroinu.... Ok that sounds wrong knowing this is a hentai"
Radomira sighed, understanding the weight of Aiden's decision but still slightly uneasy. "I get it. Kuroinu mercenaries are monsters, but are you really sure about this?"
Aiden's expression hardened. "Yes, Radomira. We know exactly what happens when they're left unchecked. They'll pillage, enslave, and destroy everything in their path. I won't let this world fall into the same twisted chaos as before."
Radomira crossed her arms, glancing at the forces behind them. "So, you want to rewrite the story entirely? Kill them before they can even act?"
Aiden nodded firmly. "We have the power to change the script. No more needless suffering. We've seen what their 'good' mercenaries turn into under pressure. I won't take that risk."
Radomira looked at the horizon, then back at Aiden. "And what about Celestine and the Princess Knights? They're bound to confront you on this soon enough."
Aiden paused, taking a deep breath. "I'll deal with that when the time comes. But for now, we need to send a message to the entire Kuroinu faction. There are no second chances for those who live by blood and greed."
Radomira nodded, understanding his resolve. "Understood. I'll get the team ready."
As she left to carry out Aiden's orders, he stared off into the distance, his mind filled with the weight of his decisions. He wasn't just trying to survive in this world anymore—he was trying to reshape it entirely.
Then Kotarou came to them. "I gave lady Celestine your letter, we just need to wait"
Aiden turned to Kotarou, nodding slightly. "Good work, Kotarou. Now we just need to see how they respond."
Radomira joined them, having overheard. "Do you think Celestine and the Princess Knights will agree to meet you, especially after they receive the letter?"
Kotarou, calm as ever, replied, "They were surprised, but they'll come. They know they can't ignore a message from you, especially with everything that's been happening with the orcs."
Aiden crossed his arms, looking thoughtful. "We're playing a dangerous game here. Celestine's group is powerful, and they'll want answers about why I've taken action against the Kuroinu before they can. But once they see what I've seen, they'll understand."
Radomira raised an eyebrow. "And if they don't?"
Aiden's gaze darkened. "Then we'll just have to show them why things have to change. One way or another."
Kotarou looked at them both, then shifted slightly, vanishing into the shadows as he always did. "I'll keep an eye on their movements until they arrive," he said before disappearing completely.
Radomira sighed and turned to Aiden. "Let's hope this meeting goes well. We're already up against enough enemies."
Aiden's eyes narrowed as he stared into the distance. "We'll be ready, either way. The fate of this world depends on it."
Radomira just looked at him. "So whene will you attack the Kuroinu"
Aiden looked at her. "Probably after this meeting and dealing with Orc's that Guren mention, the Oni need vengeance I rather give them that early then late".
Radomira nodded, her gaze cold and calculating. "The Oni will be a powerful ally once they get their vengeance. It's better to channel that rage into something productive before it festers."
Aiden crossed his arms, looking up at the sky for a moment before returning his focus to her. "Exactly. The Kuroinu need to be dealt with swiftly, but first, I need to ensure that the Princess Knights and Celestine understand what's at stake. If they can't align with our vision, things will get messy."
Radomira smirked slightly. "You always have a plan, don't you?"
Aiden shrugged. "I have to. This world is teetering on the edge of chaos. If we don't take control now, it'll fall back into the hands of monsters like the Kuroinu and their twisted ideals."
Radomira's expression turned serious as she glanced toward the horizon. "I hope they see reason, but if they don't, are you prepared to go against Celestine and the others?"
Aiden's eyes hardened. "If it comes to that, then yes. I'll do whatever is necessary to fix this broken world."
Radomira gave a slight nod, understanding the weight of his words. "Then let's hope this meeting goes as planned, and we can move forward with eliminating the Kuroinu once and for all."
