“Yes, your imperial majesty,” A deep and scary voice appeared before Druid Oz together with a black shadow that slowly makes a form of a wraith.

“How is it, any casualties on our side?” Asked Druid Oz.

“Casualties?” (Claria)

“None, your imperial majesty. We’ve managed to scout them without having them noticed. As you’ve said, there is an army of demons stationed at the far south of the Eastaria Continent,” Reported the Wraith to Druid Oz.

“Their number?” (Druid Oz)

“For now, it’s still 10,000 in number, your imperial majesty. But since the demons that attack the Galhala Kingdom’s outskirt villages came not from the south, but the east side instead,” (Wraith)

“I see… They’re splitting their army, huh…?” Muttered Druid Oz as he put hold his beardless chin.

“What do you mean, Ren?” Asked Claria as she can’t comprehend what Druid Oz means.

“Your highness,” The wraith politely bow towards Claria.

“Y-Yes, nice to meet you,” Answered Claria awkwardly. She’s slightly startled by the friendly behavior of the wraith in front of her. It’s the first time she saw an undead greeting someone.

“Don’t be too surprised. All of my subordinates have high intelligence and are friendly. Even the magic beasts are like that as well. Now Zero, fill her the details,” Instructed Druid Oz towards the wraith called Zero.

“Yes, your imperial majesty,” (Zero the wraith)

“The details?” (Claria)

“Yes, princess Claria. The other ‘Jack of All Trades’ secret order members that went here together with his imperial majesty is ordered to check whether there are demons stationed at the southern side of the Eastaria continent,” (Zero the Wraith)

“His imperial majesty is concerned that the origin of the demons is from the Southfilia continent. Our empire is constantly get attacked by the demons from the southern side of the magical forest of Everdeen, after all. But since the undead kingdom is the kingdom with the strongest military power, we could defend from their attacks without having any casualties until now,” (Zero the Wraith)

“And because there is indeed an army of demons at the southern side of the Eastaria continent, it means that the probability of his majesty’s prediction, which is the demons came from the Southfilia continent had become higher. But since we’re ordered to execute espionage without taking the risk of getting known, the information we got from the Eastaria’s continent’s southern side is limited,” (Zero the Wraith)

“I-I see…” (Claria)

“But the demons attacked not only from the southern side, but they also attacked the outskirt villages from various sides… So you know what this leads into, right, princess?” Asked Druid Oz.

“T-The attacks are decoys and they’re preparing for a huge attack somewhere we didn’t know… Is that what you mean, Ren?” Asked Claria.

“Exactly,” (Druid Oz)

“W-We’ll be in a great danger if what you’re saying is right…” (Claria)

“The Galhala King is still waiting for the response from the warriors he sent towards the guardians’ secret hideout. He’s putting his hopes on the guardians to help us in this peril. But somehow…” (Druid Oz)

“Somehow?” (Claria)

“Somehow… I have a bad feeling that they won’t come…” (Druid Oz)

“W-Why? On what basis are you…” Claria stopped her words when she saw Druid Oz’s grim expression.

“The Galhala King, The Prime Minister, and I suspect that there is a traitor amongst the guardians. But now that the time flows and there is still no single news came from the warriors your father had sent, I started to doubt that thought,” (Druid Oz)

“W-What do you mean…” (Claria)

“The traitors, what if there are lots of traitors amongst the guardians? What if the new leader after the prime minister is the one who is the traitor and managed to take over the guardians and made them join hands with the demons? What if they have killed the warriors your father sent there?” (Druid Oz)

“Y-You’re being too pessimistic!” Retorted Claria.

“Well, that is, the worst scenario indeed. But that is the problem, General Princess. Since things never get so well, we should ready to face the worst scenario. Gor,” Druid Oz called Gor, the mountain gorilla that had become his personal assistant.

Gor spread and put the Eastaria continental map on top of the table.

“I’m still confident that I could help the kingdom if what we’re facing is just a mere demon army. The problem is, what if the kingdoms around us that never reply to our messages anymore had all get demonized? What if not only the kingdoms around us, but the whole continent had got infected and get demonized? And not only that…” (Druid Oz)

“What if the guardians who are as powerful as your father and the prime minister got demonized? Just how powerful they will be? These thoughts made my suspicions towards the guardians increased several folds,” (Druid Oz)

“W-We should tell this to my father!” said Claria as she stands up.

“No. Your father is still waiting and hoping for help from the guardians to come. I can’t break his hopes… Well, you could say that we should have at least one person that still believes in these guardians of yours. If anything, I want you to consult about this to the prime minister, Allomere,” (Druid Oz)

“To grandpa?” (Claria)

“I believe he had the same suspicions as I am. And since he knows about this kingdom far more than I do, he will be able to make several countermeasures that I won’t be able to come up with. I’ll continue to look for information together with my shadow servants and my familiars and notify all of you if danger is coming. But well, you don’t need to go now, there is no danger coming here right now, I’m monitoring all of them with my summoned insects so it’s fine,” said Druid Oz as he asked Claria to calm down.

“I-I see…” Replied Claria as she sits back.

“Ah. Gor, how understanding…” (Druid Oz)

Gor approached them and put two cups of hot chocolate on top of the table. He’s acting just like a butler, a gorilla butler.

“T-Thankyou, Gor!” Thanked Claria.

Gor smiled as he gives a bow, and go back to play together with Charnia and the baby magic beasts.

“T-This is? W-What a good fragrant it’s emitting…” Asked Claria as she sniffs the hot chocolate.

“It’s called hot chocolate. It’s a drink from my empire, some of the magic beasts also loved it because it’s sweeter than tea,” Explained Druid Oz.

“I-I see…” (Claria)

Claria slowly takes a sip from the hot chocolate and has her eyes sparkling in response.

“D-Delicious! H-How did you managed to make it? Did you bring the ingredients together with you?” Asked Claria with sparkling eyes. Her owl ears twitches in excitement when she asked it.

“Ah… I’m a druid, after all… *Flick*” Druid Oz flicked his fingers and a small cocoa tree grows beside the couch.

“I-I see… How convenient…” (Claria)

“By the way General Prin-” (Druid Oz)

“Claria!” Claria cut Druid Oz’s words.

“E-Eh?” (Druid Oz)

“Call me Claria! You promised to call me by my name! But even though you’ve made me call you Ren, you keep on calling me General Princess this, General princess that! That’s unfair!” Protested Claria with a pout.

Her owl ears that appear from her beautiful long blonde hair twitch in anger.

“I-I apologize… T-Then, Claria,” (Druid Oz)

“Yes!” Replied Claria with a big smile as she takes her hot chocolate cup.

“Why are you sitting next to me? Isn’t it will make it harder for us to communicate and look at each other…?” Asked Druid Oz.

“Isn’t it fine? It’s more comfortable to sit side to side rather than sitting front to front, after all, ~” (Claria)

“I-Is that so…” (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz felt awkward suddenly while Claria continues to enjoy herself as she drinks the hot chocolate slowly.

“A-Anyway. How do my magic beasts doing? What are the citizens’ and the soldiers’ thoughts about them?” Druid Oz attempted to break the awkwardness that he felt alone.

“They’re great! Not only that they’re super friendly, but they’re also super strong!! How did you even get them? Well, you’ve told me before, though… The level of the magical forest of Everdeen’s magic beasts are indeed different with the usual magic beasts,” (Claria)

“Is that so?” (Druid Oz)

“Yes! Their strength is exceptional! And since they’re intelligent, they could kill the demons even easier!! having even just one of them defending a village is enough to make the whole village felt safe, you know? The level of magic your familiars uses is too strong!! Those frost lions… Not only their magics are strong, but they also could use lots of other spells!” (Claria)

“I-Is that so…? Well, they’re already considered exceptionally strong inside the magical forest of Everdeen. And their strength got boosted several folds after becoming my familiars, so I guess it made them even stronger…?” (Druid Oz)

“Having you here surely made the kingdom felt safer, Ren…” (Claria)

“Eh?” (Druid Oz)

Claria suddenly leans at Druid Oz’s shoulder.

“Ren… Will we be able to survive the upcoming wars…?” (Claria)

Claria’s voice felt sad and gives off a hint of fear. Druid Oz could felt her body slightly trembling when she leaned on him.

Claria is a general. She is a general and also a sister. She never shows anyone her weak side, whether it’s to her people nor her sister. As a general who had gone through the battles with the demons lately, Claria has a clear image of how fearsome the battle the Galhala kingdom’s facing.

“This kingdom… Will this kingdom survive…?” Asked Claria as a teardrop fell from her eyes.

Tap!

“Eh?” Claria’s eyes widened as she could feel Druid Oz’s warm palm on top of her head.

“It’s fine. As long as I’m here, I won’t let any of you get into harm. This kingdom… I’ll definitely protect it, you can just trust me,” (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz’s words return the courage that started to fade from Claria’s heart. But what she felt isn’t like before, she felt like the courage that filled her heart right now is even greater than before.

Another teardrop fell from her eyes.

But this time, it’s not a tear of fear and frustration.

It’s a tear of joy that came because of the relief she felt inside her heart.

“Thank you… Ren…” (Claria)
