“Y-YOU WHAT!?” The Galhala King shouts as he questions the prime minister with a voice that similar to a roar.

Druid Oz couldn’t filter the sound like the one who hears it is his summoned insects, while the sound gets transferred right into his mind, he could only bear the pain as he saw everyone inside the royal throne just slightly flinched while the prime minister didn’t even flinch by the Galhala King’s roar-like voice.

“As I said, I ordered my knights to confine him inside the royal prison. Please understand my concerns, your majesty. It is very dangerous for you to easily accept and even grant a nobility title to someone that background we barely know, your majesty. It will greatly threaten the royal family, and might greatly threaten our kingdom,” Replied the prime minister, unwavering. Druid Oz could see his cold eyes filled with cold calculation, his wavering eyes are too deep for Druid Oz to dive in, he could not guess what the prime minister is thinking.

“Y-You… Did you know about this, Kludd?” The Galhala King asked one of the ministers that stands beside the prime minister.

*Sigh*

The man called Kludd sighs.

“Please forgive my insolence for saying this, your majesty… But this time, I need to agree with the prime minister about this matter… It might be very dangerous for the royal family, especially your daughters if you put so much trust towards an unknown person, your majesty… Please understand my concern…” The minister, Kludd, replied to the Galhala King as he bows deeply and begs for the Galhala King to reconsider accepting Druid Oz easily. Unlike the prime minister, Druid Oz could see his eyes filled with sincere concern for the Galhala King.

*Sigh…*

“I understand and could feel that you’re doing because you are concerned for me. But I can’t mistreat someone who saved my daughter from death just because we couldn’t prove that he saved her. And to add that Charnia had clearly stated that he is the one who saved her, so isn’t it’s more than enough to prove it? Or did both of you didn’t believe my daughter?” The Galhala King made a firm stance at his belief towards Druid Oz.

“I-It’s not that, your majesty…” (Minister Kludd)

“There is a possibility that the princess got brainwashed by magic, your majesty,” The prime minister continues to pester the validity of Charnia’s words.

(I see… He didn’t want the Galhala King to have a new unknown ally that he hasn’t even meet… The number of rewards that the Galhala King gives me showed how much trust the Galhala King holds towards me, it’s enough reason for him to be so wary about me…) (Druid Oz)

“You mean you didn’t believe with my daughter, Allomere!? As her father, I will be the first one to realize if she’s under a brainwashed spell! if I didn’t realize that she is brainwashed, let alone the others!!” The Galhala King once again roared.

“I see… You’re indeed right, your majesty… Forgive me for my unthoughtful words,” the Prime Minister, Allomere, finally apologized towards the Galhala King.

*Sigh*

The Galhala King let out another heavy sigh.

“I know how concerned the both of you are, but I’m willing to bet on my name for his credibility. That’s how much I trust him,” Answered the Galhala King firmly.

As they are having their conversation, Druid Oz had sent his summoned insects to get near the prime minister and the other ministers. Firstly, he uses the summoned mosquito to climb one of the ministers behind the prime minister and minister Kludd, ordering him to make a small magic circle.

Druid Oz could summon and grow plants within his spell list to wherever he or his mana could touch, he actually could summon plants by using his summon insects as a medium, but it’s difficult to maintain the precision of the summoning if he summoned it from the summoned insects, so he makes magic circles where he could give a precise amount of mana for the spell.

“Now, time to see which side this minister is on,” (Druid Oz)

With a single flick of fingers, a small Alianza flower grew inside the minister’s pocket. but surprisingly, the blue flower inside the minister’s pocket shined a blue color.

(So this one is a loyal one, huh… Then what about the prime minister…?) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz controlled his summoned mantis to the prime minister’s feet and made the same magic circle. After the magic circle is made, Druid Oz summoned an Alianza flower in the same manner as before.

But surprisingly.

The color of the flower isn’t the one he predicted it will be.

(It’s blue? Does the king throw the Alianza main flower away? No, I could sense it from inside his pocket, he hid it behind his mantle… So… Does it mean the villain is not the prime minister, Allomere?) (Druid Oz)

“If you’ve said so, then I have no other option but to trust him as well, your majesty. But if something happened to the princess Claria or princess Charnia…” (The prime minister, Allomere)

“It’s fine, Allomere. I saw the man with my own eyes. I trust him as well, Charnia and Claria will be fine,” The Galhala Queen suddenly join the conversation.

Unlike when the Galhala King tried to convince him, the Galhala Queen’s words seem to be more convincing for the prime ministers and the other ministers.

“I know your huge affection towards Charnia and Claria, but you don’t need to worry, Allomere. As their father, I will sacrifice everything to keep them safe,” (The Galhala King)

“If you say so, your majesty… I considered both of them as my own granddaughter… Please forgive my overprotective behavior…” The prime minister, Allomere, finally bowed towards the Galhala King.

(W-What is this… Isn’t he just a doting grandfather?) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz got shocked for a while but regained his senses not long after. He ordered his summoned insects to climb the rest of the ministers, and just like the prime minister, Allemore, minister Kludd also has a blue-colored Alianza flower.

(Another blue? Then do the enemies the Galhala King mean are the enemies outside the kingdom?) (Druid Oz)

Suddenly the throne room’s door got fiercely opened.

“Grandpa Allomere!” Charnia’s voice suddenly appeared after the throne room’s door got opened. She did not hide her angry face as she approaches the prime minister, Allomere.

“Why did you do that to Ren!? Where is Ren!? Why- Buhh!!” Claria blocked her little sister’s mouth as she started to angrily shout towards the prime minister, Allomere.

“Grandpa Allomere, where is lord Ren? He is the savior of Charnia, And I’ve confined him once before because of my short thinking, it will be too much to confine him again, grandpa, could you please let him out?” Claria tries to negotiate with the prime minister, Allomere.

“So the both of you also trusts him greatly, huh…” (Prime minister, Allomere)

“Bhwah!” Charnia finally gets free from Claria’s hands.

“Of course!! Ren saved my life from the demons and healed all of my scars, after all!!” (Charnia)

Druid Oz got slightly distracted, but when he regained his senses again, he realized that this is the best opportunity for his summoned insects to climb the rest of the ministers.

Druid Oz ordered his summoned spider, summoned mantis, summoned, mosquito, and summoned beetle to check on the rest of the ministers. Since their attention got stolen by Charnia and Claria, the ministers didn’t realize the summoned insects climbing their body despite the size of the summoned beetle and the summoned mantis are rather big.

The summoned insects quickly carve the magic circles on the ministers’ clothes, and quickly summoned the Alianza flowers. But the result shocked him.

One of them is light blue, but the rest of them…

(There are three traitors! Did the prime minister and the Galhala King know this? No, wait, what is happening?) (Druid Oz)

The blood-red Alianza flowers slowly burn, leaving a scent that Druid Oz will never ever able to forget.

“Demonic mana!” (Druid Oz)

Charnia and Claria approach the prime minister and minister Kludd, which automatically makes them approach the rest of the three traitor ministers too.

(Shit! I need to go before it’s too late!” (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz summoned his wooden staff from the ground and-

Boom!

The royal magic cell got smashed into bits. The royal guards that guard the royal prison immediately rushed, but they’re no match for Druid Oz. Druid Oz knocked them out before they could transform into their huge Owl form.

(Please make it…) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz transformed into his huge owl form and dashed towards the throne room at a high speed as he monitors the situation inside the throne room.

“Princess Charnia, you sure have beautiful hair,” said one of the traitor ministers as he approaches Charnia.

“Thank- Ugh!” (Charnia)

The traitor ministers suddenly transformed into huge owls, while one of the traitor ministers caught Charnia under his claws, and the other also tried to catch Claria, but her high agility helped her to evade it.

“Charnia!” (The Galhala King)

“Don’t move! Or the royal princess will die!”
