Chapter 80: Meeting #1
"I'm sure you're all wondering what the sudden emergency is.... it's Dior...he was critically injured when he went to approach the supposedly unknown Legend..."
"What??!"
"Dior was beaten??"
"Who is this Legend??"
Despite the news that was delivered none of the members there showed any signs of panicking, naturally along with Dior they were the central figures of the Imperial Kingdom, every single one of them was just as powerful if not more powerful than Dior but most of them preferred to maintain a low-profile unlike Dior who was well known and feared, the members present there included 8 Grand Dukes, the King, Prince Hal, and one other man who looked younger than most of the individuals in the room.
"That...we do not know...all we know is he managed to slay every single monster in a single strike and then proceeded to fight Dior....and by the looks of it..he managed to do so pretty easily.." The King said as he lowered his head.
"Horrible.."
"Even with his unique style..."
"We must find out who this Legend is... I'm sure we all have questions we wish to ask..."
While the Grand Dukes were discussing about, what sounded like the future plans of the Imperial Kingdom and its current standing compared to the Norse Kingdom. The individual who looked younger than the others finally let out a loud sigh that immediately caused the room to go silent.
"Why don't yall just wait for a bit and ask him yourselves?? he should be here soon," the man said.
"What do you mea-"
"Oh? he noticed me, he's here,"
"Ello, I'm not interrupting am I?" Noel said as he suddenly appeared in front of the entrance.
"Guar-" Before one of the Grand Dukes could shout out for the guards, the young individual stood up and said, "Don't bother, it's not going to make a difference,"
"That 'disguise' isn't doing anything you know?" the man said while looking at Noel who covered the lower half of his face with a cloth and huge black-framed glasses that looked horribly awkward.
"Against you maybe, but against those half-wits, it's working," Noel chuckled.
"What??!"
"You got a death wish???!!"
"Impudence!!"
"Calm down, I'll take care of this.." the man said while raising his hand.
By the looks of it, even the King and Prince Hal were willing to listen to the man, even though the young prince was trembling with rage, the man who nearly killed his master was right in front of him but all he could do was stand back and watch, he didn't want to but he wasn't an idiot, he knew the importance of waiting.
"So, what brings you here?"
"Well, I figured a Kingdom as big as the Imperial Kingdom would definitely not accept someone just absolutely thrashing their precious "Falcon", so I'm here to sort things out," Noel said as he slowly approached the table.
Frowns appeared on the member's faces when they saw Noel casually walk towards them, however, before they could say anything Prince Hal who was trembling and stayed quiet couldn't hold back anymore and dashed towards Noel.
"Hal No!!" The King screamed.
"You f*ckin thrash!!!" Hal said with his sword unsheathed, he dashed to Noel's side and slashed at him.
*?????*
Noel casually slapped the sword away with nothing but his hand and then flicked Hal on the forehead sending him flying back into the wall.
"Stay out of this kid, I don't have time to waste, I need to go back and sleep," Noel said while yawning.
"I think that's quite enough no? now that you've touched the Prince of the Kingdom, you've officially made an enemy of the Imperials, even if you were to apologize with your life now, you wouldn't be pardoned,"
"Then, I'll leave no witnesses, "oh no the royals of the Imperial Kingdom were assassinated", I wonder how that sounds, originally I only came here to talk but it looks like some of my weapons are starving, I really hope you understand that as a Grandmaster it's my duty to feed all the weapons I possess..." He said with his head tilted.
The others couldn't help but gulp while looking at Noel's sudden change, even through the glasses they could feel a pair of cold eyes piercing through them, it looked like the light around his eyes was slowly twirling into them, letting out a slightly dark aura at the corner of his eyes.
The young man walked forward and stood in between the members and Noel, he leaned forward and whispered,
"A lot of talk from someone who couldn't save his friend,"
