Chapter 455 A Surprise Part 2



Chapter 455 A Surprise Part 2

We got onto the flying ship and headed to the floating island. The boat, this time quite packed with many people. We ended up spending most of our time on the VIP deck since there was no way to walk around the ship with so many on board. Luckily, the flight was short, and we arrived very quickly.

"Quick! Come!" Adel grabbed both my and Sophie\'s hands and pulled us along toward the VIP exit. When we arrived, we were met with the one person I wanted to slap the most.

Gritting my teeth, I said: "Your Majesty…." I really did not like bowing to this bastard who always had tricks.

"Hmmm? It\'s good to know that you know proper etiquette." The king gave me a mocking smile, which made me want to kick his shin to the new continent. Of course, I could not be outdone.

"It seems Your Majesty is very forgetful. I think I have always had good etiquette. I think the signs of memory loss are pretty bad. I should call the best doctor in the capital to come and check on Your Majesty\'s health." I smiled back, but my eyes were not smiling, and neither were his.

"It seems while you were in the care of my daughter, you have taught her many things that should not have been taught. I only happened to hear about an engagement ceremony this morning. But for some reason, the rest of the world knew about it." The king looked at me and then at Adel, who had her hands behind her back and was looking up at the sky as if she had done nothing wrong.

"Adel…. Explain." I said flatly. I have never heard of any engagement ceremony!

"Well…." Adel finally looked at the two of us and said: "Since we are in love, I felt that the whole world should know so I sent out invitations to everyone I knew and had them invite other nobles and businessmen so that we could hold a public engagement. Oh! Right! I had someone use a griffin and fly your parents and brother here as well."

I facepalmed. This girl! When did she plan all of this!? I turned and looked at Atolie, who was now doing the same thing Adel was doing before! She was keeping secrets from me! I sighed and then looked at the king and said: "This is your daughter."

The king\'s face did not look good. I am sure he can tell from my reaction that I had no idea what was going on. "Adel…." The King looked conflicted. But what could he do? This own daughter set everything up. He had no choice but to go through with it. With a long, loud sigh, he finally said: "What\'s done is done. It is just an engagement…. All parties should get ready! Faith, I want to speak to you alone."

"Alright." I nodded and said a few words to Adel and Sophie, and took out the carriage before following after the old man.

I got into his carriage, that was much bigger than Adel\'s. I sat down and then looked at the King. "You want to know about the quake just now, right?"

"Yes, do you have any clues as to what caused it?" The king asked.

"It\'s a being called the Doom Bringer. It is a very powerful monster that sucks the life from worlds. Its main thing is that it can weaken all powers around it. Right now, I am far from being able to beat it. I will need to grow in strength in order to fight it. We have ten years. But….. I spoke with the spirit king, and he will send me and those who will be fighting alongside me to another place to train. Adel will also be going." I explain. I did not plan to hide it. There was no reason to.

"I see…. Is there anything I can do to help?" The king asked. He looked very troubled.

"Just take care of the kingdom. I will handle the rest. If I am to die….. Send everyone from the kingdom to a magic realm as soon as possible. Better yet, prepare to move them to a magic realm in ten years, just in case. It will be a temporary measure in case the planet is annihilated in the process. The battle will happen on the continent on the other side of the world, but you never know what might happen during the battle." I hated to say it but I would rather destroy the world myself than let some monster do it. "Please share this information with other kingdoms. While the kings and queens, emperors, and empresses might be bad, the citizens who are under their rule are innocent. The more lives we can save, the better."

"I understand. If I have to I will make arrangements to allow other kingdoms to evacuate with ours. I will save as many people as I can. Because, as you said, the people are innocent. It is those who govern that make the people under them look like the enemy." The king was in full support of my idea. I was glad about this.

"I am glad you understand. Also…. Do not keep this from the people. There will be chaos otherwise. But also give them hope. Tell them there is a special unit trying to figure out a way to get rid of this uninvited visitor. One that will risk their lives to try to stop it." I knew one thing and that was that leaving the masses in the dark was not good. Things needed to be made open to all. This would cause less hysteria when the time came.

"I will be making things clear by the end of the year. I also do not want to cause panic." I knew the king would need time to plan out how he was going to say it to the masses. After all, this was not good news. No one wants to know that the world is going to end.
