in the ceiling of the room without answering. But he lowered his eyes when a childlike voice rose: 

"I ask permission to speak, sir." LINIAS said :

" Celine , you don't need permission to speak. What is there?"

"I agree with Sirius, this will protect the clan."

-" what do you mean?..".

-"It is...this...because...it will be...".

"Why are you worried? Say what you have?" Celine was a girl; She was fifteen, with blue hair in a ponytail, and had sky blue eyes, and had ears that were the color of her hair. She was standing behind Angus as one of his deputies. She was wearing a black suit like men.

She was a sea people .

-" What's with you? ". In fact, Celine didn't know what to say other than these words, she didn't like to meddle in the clan's affairs, the ten leaders of this thing. And for some reason. Rivera asked her to say those words. And when I told her: What if he asked me to explain it? Don't answer, said Rivera , and the captain will understand. But now, in front of all the crowds, her stomach was shrinking because she was the center of everyone's attention, and Celine didn't like it because it made her nervous.

 She began to sweat, her throat dried up, and unconsciously, like everyone else, she put her hand around her throat. Maybe it was a coincidence or maybe it was planned. But she found herself shivering like a paper as she felt an immense physical pressure crushing her. 

 

 She did not know that what she had done made LINIAS rage, as LINIAS thought that she was afraid that she would be beheaded, and for a moment Linneas remembered the scene of Celine's death passing before his eyes.

 Her head hovered in the air, her blue hair fluttering behind her, and her wide blue eyes, staring blankly at LINIAS . And that knight who hit her neck with his sword, smiling ecstatically. He even remembered the crow squawking over the tree.

 LINIAS squeezed his eyes. I will not allow this to happen again! He stared below the throne with glowing eyes that almost burned everything in front of him. Many followers shivered, feeling suffocated by the immense pressure crushing their bodies. Even Rivera was starting to sweat. 

LINIAS said between his teeth, watching Celine , who was breathing hard and wiping her sweat with a handkerchief:

“Is there any benefit from this?!”

Sirius replied :

"There are many benefits, but.. first...this land must naturally become ours. Then we do the rest, and I'll tell you about that later."

-"This was taken by force...or perhaps by extermination."

This is the natural law of the world. The strong eats the weak, and takes everything from them. Did they not do this to us? Sirius wanted to say it so badly. However, he said:

-"That's what happened, and no one is alive, so if there is someone, we will gladly give them their land." And he was silent. 

LINIAS remained silent. He didn't know what to answer. But he could not be silent for long, as everyone was staring at him, waiting for his answer. He said: 

-"I need to think carefully about this. Also, I want to check around and then we'll decide what we have to do. What do you think?"

 Sirius replied :

 

- " Concept". When LINIAS thought of running away quickly. Liliana raised her hand as a student in a class. She said: 

"Allow me to speak, sir." LINIAS sighed in his heart at this request, which he had never loved. He indicated her to do.

"I agree with Sirius that this land should be yours."

“It belongs to me and not to us?” Liliana continued to speak, ignoring what LINIAS had said : 

"If this land becomes yours, we will live in it without any disturbance or interference from anyone."

This was a perfectly reasonable conversation, but his life as Salem made him know that this was an illusion. There is nothing called without disturbance or interference from anyone. There have been many countries that stick their tentacles in other countries, sucking everything in them with the call of charity. But. This is only if the state is made of sheep, and its ruler is a dog that wags its tail for everyone.

LINIAS was not a sheep or a dog. He was a ferocious beast who would fight to the death in defense of his clan. Even if his enemies were indomitable monsters. He would rather die tall than bow down.

LINIAS replied , smiling.

"What you said makes perfect sense. I liked it, but. I don't think that's what you're really thinking. I think it's something with their horses."

She flushed her cheeks and said shyly:

"I didn't say anything about this."

"But it's quite clear to me. So...how should we deal with what Liliana said !" Rivera raised her pale hand, and LINIAS felt he was a teacher in a class.

"It is very simple, sir, and it is to crush everyone who dares to stand before us." With annoyance, he said:

-"A show of strength then?"

"Yes, sir. In addition to something important." She licked her scarlet lips, preparing to drop her bomb. And she continued:

"It's to get married!" Those words made many eyes light up like wild beasts.

Rivera continued :

"Of course, I will nominate myself for this great position". Sirius sighed tiredly . 

Before LINIAS could say anything, the hall became frostbitten.

-" You filth. We didn't agree on this!!!" . Entus screamed at the top of her lungs, and stood up, grinding her teeth, and with eyes radiating a murderous intent, almost peeling flesh from the bone. She said: 

"How dare you, so impudently, ask your master to marry you, you have to be thankful for my master's mercy, or else he will make you a pillow for his feet!!!"

 

 Rivera replied happily and calmly:

"Of course I will be grateful for this, and I will do so now if my master wants to rest his feet."

Rivera turned to LINIAS , who was staring at her silently like a stone, and said:

"My lord. No doubt you know that the emperor needs a beautiful empress to stand by his side."

"But you are not more beautiful than me!!!"

"It's true. We are equally beautiful, but I am much stronger than you, my dear."

"And I have more magic power than you!!!".

"My dear Entus . You must look closely at my master. Your magic power, ridiculous, pathetic, is insignificant compared to him." 

 This applies to you as well!!

"Sure. I am nothing in front of my master. That's why... I said I was stronger than you." She grabbed her hips and continued:

"A strong woman can have many children

". She smiled a smile of victory. However, Entus threw a shell in her face:

-"But you're old. Can you do that?~". Rivera was confused and coughed to hide her confusion, not expecting Entus to use this attack. However, Entus did not let go and continued to throw their own shells.

"How old are you? Two thousand? Six thousand? Ten? You must have been there before the mountains were formed in this world, old crocodile!"

 Rivera burst into a shriek , completely forgetting her master's existence:

-"You filthy one, this is ridiculous. I'm still young!!" 

 

-"This is from the outside. As for the inside, everything has died and rotted!"

Rivera 's face distorted with anger, and she bared her bright white fangs and said:

"It seems I didn't raise you well. But, that's fine, I haven't tasted fresh blood in years, and I wouldn't mind drinking the blood of a crazy virgin!"

 

 Entus can't help but acknowledge the beauty of the woman in front of her even in her anger. But Entus was not inferior to her, and she would not lose this confrontation. Entus said running to her:

"Try to do it, old man."

Rivera ran , too. The crowd stared at them, knowing what would happen next. If they were somewhere else, they would bet among themselves who you would lose.

 And without any hesitation. They hit their heads with some like rams. They made a loud sound, like the sound of a gunshot.

LINIAS narrowed his eyes, as if imagining the pain of it all. That blow must have crushed the skull of a horrific beast. However. They seemed to be perfectly fine. But they were not satisfied with this, as they continued

 They spar nonstop. As if each of them wanted to crush the head of the other and smash it. It was pure madness.

LINIAS stopped them, with a quaking voice:

-" It is enough !! ".

 They stopped what they were doing. Rivera and Entus bent down on their knees in an instant, and they stared at their master respectfully.

LINIAS continued with that commanding roaring voice:

" I need to see the land we're in now. So, this gathering is over!" 

 He walked away from among them, followed by Sirius , who seemed very upset.

 "Wait, sir, what about my suggestion?" Rivera shrieked as she rose from her knees. However, LINIAS passed through the gate, ignoring it. Entus sighed in relief.  She was certain that her master would agree to Rivera's proposal . But fortunately he ignored this thing.

"Wow, he ran away!" Rivera said , and she was going to explode in fury, upon Entus who had sabotaged her genius plan.

But Blander stood before them in palpable displeasure, and threw two powerful punches in the stomach, Rivera and Entus fell to their knees, clutching their stomachs in pain.

 

"Oh, savage woman, this hurts!"

Rivera shrieked frantically. However, she didn't seem to be in pain except. Entus who was struggling to catch her breath.

Blander said angrily:

"Didn't we agree that you'd be silent today. Damn it, but you've ruined what we wanted to do. And here's our leader going out without us doing anything!"

Blander came out , and the commanders followed her, distressed.

 

 

  

- 4 -

 "This is the place, isn't it?"

Entus answered her master:

 

- "Yes, this is the place. That... it happened... that night." And she looked away, unwilling to speak, or remember that night which she so hated.

LINIAS examined the city ​​in ruins and murmured:

 -"There is no one left.. I have killed many people, an entire kingdom. I can hardly

I believe what I did... How could magic do that?... It was as if I was in a dream."

"Sir, you don't have to grieve for them, they deserved what happened to them. They were filthy human beings who deserved to die."

-" Entus your speech may have some truth in it, but I know very well, that not all of them deserve to die. There are really wonderful people, who only want to live in peace with their families .. There are people who are really disgusted to see them ."

He was a little silent. Then he muttered:

- " Adsofin ".

- " Edsofin ? Will you allow me to know what it is?"

-"mm.. uh.. no. It's not something important. I think it's a name that symbolizes the humiliation of humans. A ruler at a time." He was about to laugh. But he stopped it.

"Oh...so then. Thank you very much for telling me that."

" Rivera thanked me for everything. Or asking my permission for everything is really tiring... Don't you think so? Also, I didn't say anything to be thankful for. I don't know, 

Why do you do this every time. That's why... please stop that."

Rivera replied :

But, this is our duty, and our respect towards our master.

-"This is ridiculous.
