Chapter 215 - A Husband Learns About The Terrifying Opponent!
"Let me correct you now that everything is fine between you."
Her Majesty said the moment Kyoya took seat next to Rosa. She said this while faintly smiling causing the husband to lock his eyes on her. He wanted to know what exactly she meant by these words!
"We aren\'t friends, but just acquaintances. I have met Rosa once and that\'s it."
The lady also added that she would like to get closer with Rosa hinting the husband about her intentions. Of course, it would be good to become friends with someone from the Grooma Kingdom as it would open many possibilities and future encounters.
The visits to this Ascended Kingdom would be also more bountiful just from this connection alone! However, Kyoya also could see that the queen was willing to be friends not just for her interest, but just out of curiosity.
How would it be? And how would Rosa act if she lost her noble beaming that was mixed with annoyance right now? As the questions began to appear in Her Majesty��s eyes, Kyoya smiled and nodded. This was him offering help!
Both the husband and the queen smiled, their hands raising the cup of lightning tea.
"Mrs. Yue, is there a reason for you to arrive here personally?"
Since Rosa didn\'t feel like speaking, but enjoying the atmosphere with the husband close, Kyoya spoke with Her Majesty whose name was Yue. This was a particularly cute name as her full name would be Yuyu Yue.
The queen was clad in a long red dress with the Yuyu Kingdom\'s flame design embedded around her right side. It looked like a bird yet sometimes like pure flames. Not like the husband could look much into her dress to comprehend this equipment as only the upper body could be seen. If Rosa had to comment on this top, then she would say that the queen could enter the top rankings!
Weren\'t they sitting close to the table too? The husband\'s eyes could only look at her pretty face. Her red lips were glittering as she licked those a lot ever since Rosa passed her lightning tea to everyone!
It seemed like her tea was somewhat more intense than ever before! It stabbed one\'s tongue and lips more, but it was still enjoyable! Kyoya also could feel the tea effects with his own mouth!
As the queen had pale complexion, her red lips and eyes stood out. Her hair was also vivid in red color, wrapped into a bun that was similar to the phoenix\'s nest! It was a mixture of red and orange color which accompanied each other well.
Two long and thin bangs caressed her cheeks, then as these shook, the queen finally spoke.
"It\'s unusual for all kingdoms to get invaded. Since all our prospering cities reported about the invade, I chose one of these to personally check the situation."
"And you happened to meet the husband."
"Yes, I met the husband indeed. What kind of charm is it? Even I feel it natural to call it you \'the husband\' Mr. Kyoya."
"If it\'s natural, then please drop the honorifics. I would like to call you Yue too."
"Wouldn\'t that make someone angrier?"
"I don\'t think so…"
The husband shifted his eyes to Rosa whose head rested on her palm. She threw her eyes at him when she got aware of his attention, then hovered those on his expression that were all questions.
As the annoyance was diminished, Rosa looked fine, so the husband spoke to the queen with her name only! A faint laugh escaped Yue\'s lips when she saw that.
"My people have investigated the area, but nothing useful came out of that… The blue flame pillar also left nothing behind here, so I can only hope the other cities have gotten some useful information."
The queen spoke with her hand on her cheek. She seemed to be really bothered by this feat as the invaders truly left nothing behind! If not Rosa and the husband, then there would be only the utmost coldness around the city waiting to be melted.
Luckily enough, Rosa already agreed to leave the dead body for the kingdom to which the husband didn\'t mind. He had one and even more valuable one, so it was perfectly fine.
And before Kyoya could offer some more help to the kingdom so that he could build enough connection, Yuyu Yue asked for help herself.
"You chased after them, didn\'t you? If you could tell me valuable information, then I am willing to reward you amply."
"Did you hear that, the husband? Get the queen. A hot chick just offered herself to you."
"What are you talking about…"
The husband\'s eyes were moving fast between the queen and Rosa whose lips just uttered something vulgar! He was also worried that the queen might get offended by that, but she just enjoyed the tea without saying anything.
However, Kyoya somewhat imagined her throwing some tantrum like an embarrassed lady which would look weird on the mature looking queen. He couldn\'t really tell why he would imagine something like that, but apologizing to the queen was the first thing he should do!
And so he did.
"I am sorry for her. Please, look at this map."
Kyoya first took out the map from his inventory, then unfolded it after getting close to the queen. He pointed to an area where the entrance to the hidden base was located. This made the queen narrow her eyes.
"It has gone unnoticed to our eyes… It means their techniques can affect the land without our consent… The Ice God… with such belief…"
The queen began to ponder while holding her chin. A plan to check this entrance and reveal the invaders out of it was already formed within her mind, but she wanted to know exactly what kind of god the invaders were connected with.
A blue flame told her about one of the ice gods, but the technique to affect the land was too much of a problem.
What if there was more than just a base below their lands? The queen bit her lips, then thought about the ice god that possibly could offer its help with such a scheme. Because from what the queen knew, the blue flames belonged to an ice god whose belief wouldn\'t allow for sneaky plans.
"A problem with believers is that the gods don\'t control much of our movements. I know that as we are in close contact with the main shrine… But this is where the shrine comes in handy."
"What do you mean, Yue?"
"It depends on the god, but believers don\'t have to follow the concepts and beliefs as closely as the disciples from the higher world pillars and gods know where. But the believers from main shrines work to keep the image of their god clear. Just one visit to an ice shrine should be enough to bring some believers here for assistance."
"But you won\'t do that."
"That\'s right, Rosa. It would make Lord Feniks disappointed and I would rather keep my kingdom clear with my own strength. The same can\'t be said about others, though. All depends on the losses too."
The queen then added that the \'master\' Kyoya has spoken should be from the middle of the world pillar! His strength was too strong for the 19th floor, but not strong enough to oppose and follow their main shrine\'s principles.
