King of Shadows

The velvet stares at Robert as if it were absurd. It was Robert's one-sided courtship. No one could see that and think of friendship.

He stops to say hello to the members of the Seven Swords. I saw someone I hadn't seen in a long time. The man seemed to be at the boundary between the boy and the boy.

It was a mature appearance, but there was a young face in between. The man with the impressive head created an atmosphere that seemed to be in another place by himself. He was obsessed with his own world, not caring about the eyes of others. I had no reason not to think so, because I was keeping my head down with my headphones on.

"By the way, you don't know Brathr."

Robert notices his gaze and taps the shoulder of a man, Steven. Steven openly frowned and took off his headphones.

"I'm the new guy who just walked in. His name is Steven Gotters. He's a man who's scheduled for the eighth sword. Say hello to you, too, Steven. This is who you've been looking forward to. The King of Shadows, Han Si-hyun. What do you think?"

"Oh, right."

Steven corrects his posture and looks up at the demonstration with interesting eyes. Robert stabs Steven in the side to keep him from talking nonsense. Maybe it's because Robert was a newbie before he came to Zephyros. Steven sighs and reaches out his usual hand.

"Hi, I'm Steven."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Han Si-hyun, the chief instructor at Xavier."

As Xavier's chief instructor, he decided to honor the talents belonging to Xavier, and did not see Steven struggle. I saw him not as a boy, but as a man's ability.

Steven was small in stature but had unusual potential. Sihyun sees the power of the rush inside Steven. And I burst into elasticity. Steven was the most perfectly trained human being he had ever achieved. It was also high quality. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a genius of the century. I can see why Xavier designated him the eighth sword.

When I looked at Steven, I felt strangely surprised. Familiar yet subtle. He sighs because he doesn't think it's coming to his mind.

"Where have we met before?"

"No way. This is the first time I've seen the Chief Instructor. And I was in Grandeliol a little while ago. There's not a single coincidence I would have encountered."

Respectful but resolute answer. The demonstration of understanding Steven's situation was not deeply questioned. It was a metaphor for how he lived his life with one word: Grandelliall. After talking to Steven, he climbs into the wagon. The wagons that plucked up the endless length began to burn and move with numerous abilities.

The destination is the Kingdom of Tagnaria. It was a place where they had to prepare for a dimensional meeting.

/494

As soon as the gates opened, numerous knights entered the city of Tagnaria. They carved the symbol of the Zifiel family, "The Storm," on their shoulders. A knight blows his trumpet and the march continues.

Armed forces, ruler of the western continent and host of the Zifiel family, announced the arrival of James Zifiel to all nations, marched towards the city of Tagnaria. The vigorously trained knights and wizards' procession demonstrated the status of the Zifiel family.

Jay, he thought it was chaotic, but he had no choice. It was a gathering of forces disputing Zephyros. Nervous warfare was an indispensable factor. There was no dignity. But it was also true that there were too many measures.

"This doesn't fit in the fountain."

"What do you mean, Lord? This is your right to enjoy it. Moreover, it is a great opportunity to inform the Tagnarians who rule the eastern continent."

Theo graciously expressed his point of view. Jifiel Caiaphas thought that he would lead the continent. Jay shakes his head, giving you a flimsy head. The battle was already over a long time ago. His position - the next king - was all planned from beginning to end.

It was obvious that Sihyun would make fun of me. It was no different from the dog that came in with a loud bark. Following the guidance of Rowan, the chief of the royal household, Jay arrived at the palace and had no choice but to know that his expectations were correct.

"It's been so chaotic that you're up all night, Jay. I've been moving to the wagon for a long time and I'm tired. Well, I came into your room with confidence as long as you showed up for good. You don't mind, do you?"

After confirming his appearance, Jay sighed.

"I'm just kidding. Don't cry. I'm here on behalf of the western continent, so you'll need that kind of performance. It's understandable."

"J, Jay? Who the hell is that?"

Lara tilts her head, her eyes wide open. He who treats Jay without fault was the first one I saw.

"I've known you for a long time. He likes jokes, so don't mind him."

Jay replied ambiguously. It was premature to inform Lara of the details. It only got complicated in the beginning. Sihyun is Bererosa's pet. It was a story that would be known when the dimensional talks began. Jay-minded changed the subject.

"Lara, evacuate the Earth's powers. We may run into each other when the Dimensional Conversation begins, but don't meet as much as you can. Nothing good will come of facing each other. Make this clear to the kids. They can get curious and run into them."

"Why?"

"You know the crimes committed by The Circle, right?"

Lara bursts into elasticity. He realized his intentions. The number of victims caused by The Circle invading the Earth was a sin they couldn't cover up.

"My father is gone, three generations have fallen, but there are still many who remember that time."

"But Jay, you didn't do it, did you? It's not a grudge..."

Jay kept his mouth shut. Denial doesn't mean the death of the lookout is gone. There was no excuse for moving to make a living. That's why Jay didn't run away, but rather faced reality.

"The only thing they're friendly with is the Tagnarians who rule the eastern continent. If they had a head, they'd know the foundation of the western continent isn't so clean."

Jay smiled spontaneously and sent Lara out. He sat down with Kay in front of her when she cleared up the situation.

"Now we know what you summoned us for."

"You knew that on the way here?"

"Did you invite me here to have a successful conference?"

The conference without Jay was unsuccessful. The two continents, the eastern continent and the western continent, had to be negotiated to open up the dimensions.

"It's not a bad story for you, either."

"I'm excited to hear you say that."

Kay smiled brightly. It was no exaggeration to say that the seductive appearance was a pattern of the noblewoman. Kay was relaxed, unlike Jay.

"Support Bererosa in the dimensional conference. It shouldn't be too hard because Bererosa will take care of everything after that. I will officially acknowledge the existence of the Jifiel family after a successful dimensional conference."

"What are you talking about?"

Official recognition. Jay tilted his head, not understanding the words.

"You'll be treated like another royal. Isn't that what you guys need?"

It was no exaggeration that the western continent was a remnant of The One who captured everything by force. They also knew their origins were insignificant. They wanted the recognition and respect of others. Ironically, it was those who drove them out that proved their authenticity.

"That's a reasonable offer. because even if we call ourselves royalty, it would be funny if the eastern continent ignored it. Organizing the situation this way is not bad either."

Kay nods. It wasn't a bad offer for Jay either. It was an opportunity to demonstrate his intelligence, not his strength. The Jifiel family's diplomacy was also to be reevaluated.

The western and eastern continents were arch-enemies. It was not unusual for there to be a war right now. Nevertheless, the two forces remained silent because the war had not been over long ago. The opposing Pokémon can't be noticed since they're working so hard to unite the opposing forces.

However, over time, things would be different. In order to gain authenticity, the western continent had the potential to wage war to reclaim lost land.

But before that, if the eastern continent admitted the western continent first, politics had a completely different aspect. If we took a step back for each other, we could have kept this situation going.

"You have no choice anyway. Even if I say no, I'll take care of it."

"I thought it would be more detailed than you, and then I was notified."

"No?"

"No, I'm not."

Jay denied it with his whole body. It was because there was nothing bad for him as he said. If the Jifiel family was promoted to the Jifiel throne through the dimensional talks, it would be able to sanction the interests a little more strongly. Not to mention the increase in civic-friendly policy. It was like a big slope for Jay.

"Isn't it cold, by the way? I don't know about the western continent, but the eastern continent is a little cold."

"They'll be lazy to train. I can't believe you're mumbling in the frost of flowers."

Jay kept his mouth shut. It was true that he was reluctant to train. I had no choice. To rule the busy family of Zephyel, he lacked at least two bodies.

"You guys should get some rest. I'm going to get up now. Then have a good time."

After finishing what I wanted to say, he got up from his seat. Staying in the palace wasn't a good shape, so he quickly retreated. Seeing his back disappearing like lightning, Jay lay on the bed like a storm.

/495

Steven arrives at Fort Tagnaria and leaves in a hurry. Savior, a supernatural authority, came to the Kingdom of Tagnaria to protect representatives of every country. It was difficult to set a target to be alert, set a route to patrol, and set a route to wait. It flew away for hours.

Steven sighed, looking at the list of key figures to escort. The paperwork related to him was quite chunky. After going through the paperwork for a while, Steven opens a window to cool off his head.

"Beautiful."

The city that looked down from the Kingdom of Tagnaria was magnificent. It was not a list of dull colors that could be seen on the Earth like the night vision. Zephyros had a view of Zephyros Bay.

"Yes…?"

Steven turns his head. A little sparrow flew in and sat in the window frame. Steven looks back at the sparrow with his curious eyes. It was not small enough to chase the sparrow down to calm the weary body.

But shortly after, he realized his thoughts were wrong. The sparrow did not come down to soothe the weary body. with a clear purpose. The sparrow flaps its wings, but all that comes out of it is an indecipherable groan. It wasn't the cry of a flying beast. It was a more dull, grim voice.

"You made it to Zephyros in one piece."
