Chapter 332 - The Guild And The Church



The soldiers guarding the door were nervous; they looked at the Pegasus and then silently glanced at the door as if their vision could pierce through the door.

Pegasus was a precious mount; no other person except the kingdom could have it. Because of their fragile body and easily targeted by magic; therefore, they only used it when there was something urgent such as sending important letters, etc...

"Are they still in the meeting?" Suddenly those soldiers\' attention was disturbed by a gentle and worried tone. They looked at the speaker and found a girl around ten years old with a small crown on her head looking at them with an anxious gaze.

"Pardon me, your highness, it\'s been 1 hour, and they are still on the meeting." The soldier saluted before replying to the girl.

Upon hearing his answer, the girl expression looked complicated. She was Elizabeth; by using Pegasus, she and the others were also forcedly brought back to the Capital City for their safety.

Weston\'s died not yet announced, but with the death of one of their strongest pillar, a former Grandmaster, along with the culprit still roaming around the area, the kingdom entered a state of wariness, preventing all the civilians from leaving the kingdom and guarding all of the entrances.

Meanwhile, inside the King\'s hall, Edward was sitting on the throne with his body leaning on one of his hands, looking at those below him with a frown and darkened expression.

The vast and big hall was tranquil with some silver light from the moon sneaked between the gap of the pillars, standing stall, decorating the King\'s hall.

Many familiar faces could be seen here, from Vesta, Greyson, Violet, and even all of those academy staff; Jessy and Quinn gathered, lowering their head with some of them paled.

"Grimm, my friend, what is your situation?" After pondering for a long time, Edward asked Grimm, who stood at the end of the line with some veins spotted on his face.

"I\'m sorry, my king, we did not except the traitor had the power of 3rd class Grandmaster on their side. From my speculation, she was hiding her true power all of this time," Grimm replied with a hint of bitterness.

His plan was already perfect after a long time; he only needed the last touch to succeed. Capturing or killing Desmond\'s family, proving the crime of Desmond and then starting to dethrone Edward with the reason of former grandmaster providing shelter for the criminals of the Imperial Empire.

With then, Imperial Empire would declare war with the North Kingdom while he and his hidden troops would move in the dark, assassinating Edward and becoming the new king.

However, one by one, problems start to arise from the downfall of the Aristocratic Technocracy Organization to the unexpected resistance from Desmond\'s family.

In addition, the pawns they provided to disturb the academy\'s power become waste due to the sudden death of Weston. Which mean they could not point out Weston\'s crime, and the vital reason was not enough to declare war.

*bam*

Edward suddenly slammed his hand, causing the hall to tremble tremendously, with a cracking sound was heard in those pillars. The vibration only lasted for a moment; the people on this hall stabilized themselves and regained their composure.

"Minister Sanders, you have done a good job for discovering the crime of that family," Calming his wind, Edward spoke with gratitude to the Sanders who bowed and nodded repeatedly.

"This is my duty, my king," Sanders shouted with a snob; he was happy the king finally acknowledged his effort of the years and even praised him. There was nothing more important for him as his life and body served the king and the kingdom.

He was an orphan, without families caring about him; only the kingdom and the king provided him home and teachers. He even did not marry, solely focused on his task as minister of Defense.

"As for the rest, I need your cooperation to prevent any news of my master\'s death from being leaked; if it is necessary, silence those students who witnessed his death at any cost! While also helping the kingdom to search the culprit who killed our pride Grandmaster!"

Upon hearing his words, all of the people shuddered in fear. Although they knew if the news leaked, there was a chance their enemies tried to sneak up to his kingdom, even starting a skirmish, but to even did not spare children, his method was a bit ruthless.

"Yes, my king!" All of them saluted and bowed; even those academy people who were known for unwillingness to cooperate with the kingdom also obeyed as their pillar had gone. But that was not only the reason they agreed; their pillar had been killed! If they did not act, they had no face to guarantee the other students\' safety!

However, among those people who saluted and obeyed Edward\'s request, two people did not agree or, to be precise, did not speak those words. One was an old man, while the other was a mature lady with long robe sleeves covering her body

The old man with skin trench clothes was from the Guild side, or rather the Guild Master of this kingdom was observing the expression of the other and then landed on the mature lady opposite of his directions.

The Guild had a power scattered in all human kingdoms and rarely participated in those kingdom conflicts or internal matters. One death from their mercenaries was not enough for them to act and help the kingdom.

On the other hand, the mature lady was obvious from the Church side. The Church had the same power as the Guild. Their objective was focused to eliminated the Demons and controlling the Beasts race population.

The Guild had their mercenaries to do all of the tasks, the Church had their special knights called \'Holly Knight\' who had a job to help those miserable villages, helping the kingdom matters and the others of a holy act such as spreading their belief to the others.

However, unlike The Guild, who seemed did not agree or did not want to help the north kingdom, the reason mature lady could not reply to Edward\'s request was that the Church needed the decision from their pope.
