“Don’t move! Or the royal princess will die!” Threaten the traitor minister as he holds Charnia under his claws. One of his claw approach Charnia’s neck, showing that he is serious on killing her.

“Don’t even think of transforming into your owl form if you want the princess to survive!” Said the traitor minister.

“Minister Kalud! Do you know what you’re doing!?” The Galhala King question the traitor minister.

“I do! This is the reason why I’m here, after all!” Minister Kalud replied in a rather creepy way. His eyes wandered from right to left as his body begin to distort.

Not only him, but the other traitor ministers also have their huge owl body start to distort. Red scales together with terrifying red demonic mana start to appear from the traitor ministers.

“Y-You…” The Galhala King stared at their breathtaking demonification in shock.

“Kalud, is this truly your real intention? You used to adore the king so much and love his children as much as I am, tell me, which one is your true self?” The prime minister, Allomere, question minister Kalud with the same unwavering eyes and stance. The pair of eyes that had turn warmer when he saw Charnia and Claria coming had regained their coldness.

“I have no obligation to play in your mind games, prime minister, Allomere! Now, Galhala King!! If you value your daughter’s life more than yours!! Kill yourself with that sword!!” The minister Kalud that had transformed into a demonic form shouted towards the Galhala King.

His strength had indeed skyrocketed, even if the Galhala King or the prime minister, Allomere, could wound him in a short time, they still couldn’t kill him which will only threaten Charnia’s life even more.

“Reno!!!” The Galhala King called one of his most trusted aid, the captain of the royal guards, Reno.

“Y-Yes, your majesty,” replied the captain of the royal guards.

“Behead me!!!” Ordered the Galhala King firmly.

“B-But your majesty…” (Reno)

“Aren’t you my sword that will follow every order I give you!? Now, behead me!!!” Ordered the Galhala King with a firmer voice

The captain of the royal guards gripped his sword hardly as he approaches the Galhala King.

“Don’t even think of doing anything stupid, lowly guard! If I thought you’re planning something suspicious, the princess’ head will fly!” Threaten the demonized minister Kalud.

Cold sweats start to profusely run behind the backs of the prime minister, minister Kludd, the Galhala King, the Galhala Queen, and Claria.

“Dear…” (The Galhala Queen)

“It’s for our daughter, my love. Please continue watching over them, take over my position for a while before-” (The Galhala King)

Slash!

Suddenly the captain of the royal guards beheads the Galhala king’s head before he even finished his words. Looking at the sight, the demonized minister Kalud laughed heartfully, but the prime minister caught the small tear running under his and the other demonized ministers’ cheeks.

(Tears?) (Prime Minister, Allomere)

Slash!

Another sound of slash unexpectedly appeared, following the sound, countless pink flower petals suddenly appear from every part of the royal throne.

“I-Impossible…” (Minister Kalud)

“W-What is this?”

“What is happening!?”

The demonized ministers got flustered as the pink flower petals surrounded them like a typhoon, trapping them and restricting their movement.

“Flower magic: [Garden of Illusion]. And combined with [Flower Prison]. What a shame dear allies of demons, I have no intention on letting the one I saved die that easily, and of course, not his father too,” Druid Oz’s voice appear from behind the Galhala King that had his head beheaded by the captain of the royal guards before.

But unlike what they’ve seen, the Galhala King’s head is still intact!

Realizing the situation had turned in their favor, the prime minister, Allomere, immediately transformed into his owl form and dashed towards the demonized minister Kalud that is confined by the [Flower Prison].

He immediately beheads the demonized minister Kalud’s head as he shouted, “Arrest the others!”

His shout made the others regain their composure, the royal guards immediately transformed into their owl form, but before they could arrest the rest of the demonized ministers, the Galhala King and the captain of the royal guards had dashed towards the two demonized ministers first with their unbelievable speed.

The Galhala King beheaded the demonized minister in the same manner as the Prime Minister, Allomere. Since their body is confined inside the [Flower Prison], they could easily kill them since Druid Oz let the pink flower petals covered the demonized minister’s whole body except for their heads.

“Die, you bastards-” (Captain of the Royal Guards)

As the captain of the royal guards about to behead the last remaining demonized minister, his claws suddenly got entangled by hard vines.

“This is?” (Captain of the Royal Guards)

“We need one alive to interrogate, captain,” said Druid Oz.

“I-Indeed…” The captain of the royal guards regains his composure and suppresses his anger after he heard Druid Oz’s words.

“L-Lord Ren…” (Claria)

“R-Ren!!” Charnia shouted as she jumped towards Druid Oz’s arms.

(Um… Kid, this is not the best place to do this, you know?) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz could feel the gazes from the others, especially from the prime minister, Allomere, that is staring at him with his cold gaze.

“Lord Ren, you once again saved Charnia, no, you even saved me and my whole family this time! You have my utmost gratitude, I will definitely reward you handsomely for this,” said the Galhala King as he transformed back to his human form.

“It’s my honor, your majesty,” Answered Druid Oz.

“So you’re the one that his majesty mentioned,” The prime minister, Allomere, suddenly said.

“Y-Yes, it seems so, lord prime minister,” Replied Druid Oz politely.

(I wonder why but I couldn’t help but get pressured by this old man. Why does it feel like I’m stealing his granddaughter away from him!?) (Druid Oz)

“I see…” Muttered the prime minister, Allomere, as he sized Druid Oz up before staying silent once again, making the atmosphere awkward.

(Is that it!? Really!? Could you please say something else!? Anyone?!) (Druid Oz)

“Thank you, for saving us again, Lord Ren,” Thanked Claria as she approached Druid Oz.

(Thank you, Thank you, Claria!) (Druid Oz)

“It is my pleasure to be in your service, your highness,” (Druid Oz)

“You’re sure very humble, Lord Ren. I wonder if-” (Claria)

Whoosh!!!

Powerful winds together with a tremendous amount of demonic mana suddenly gushed out from the remaining demonized minister that got confined inside Druid Oz’s [Flower Prison] and form a demonic sphere around him, cutting Claria’s words. The red terrifying mana is so dense and filled with so much malice as it started to make Charnia feel suffocated. But before Druid Oz could chant a barrier for her, a grey barrier suddenly appeared, guarding Charnia against the intense demonic mana.

“Grandpa…” Muttered Charnia.

“It’s not time for you to shine yet, buttercup. Just rest there,” said the doting grandpa gently.

Unlike Charnia, everyone else inside the royal throne could bear with the intense demonic mana as they all have barriers. Druid Oz saw that some of the royal guards and ministers look struggling, while the prime minister, the Galhala King, and the Galhala Queen didn’t even flinch as they didn’t even chant a barrier to guard against the demonic mana.

Druid Oz looked at his side and saw that Claria is just a bit pressured by the amount of demonic mana since this might be her first time, but not only her, Druid Oz could see that the captain of the royal guards is a little bit struggling with it.

(So Claria has the same strength as the captain of the royal guards, huh… Not bad) (Druid Oz)

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The demonic mana typhoon suddenly shoots several shadows outside the royal throne room. The others though that it’s just shooting around randomly, but not Druid Oz.

(It is looking for people to hold captive!!!) (Druid Oz)

Tap!

Druid Oz tapped his wooden staff to the royal throne room’s ground, and ten beasts appeared from ten different magic circles.

“Chase them!” (Druid Oz)

Following Druid Oz’s command, they immediately dashed towards the shadows outside the royal throne room.

Looking at what Druid Oz just did, the Galhala King and the prime minister, Allomere, quickly understand the meaning of his actions.

“Quickly! Help the beasts chase over the shadows! Protect the citizens!!” (The Galhala King)

Wasting no time, as the only magician, Druid Oz ready his magic as he’s the only one who could attack the demonic sphere from the distance. Since the sphere looked like it’s still in the progress of forming something, Druid Oz chose to use a long spell that will annihilate it in one go.

But.

“You… The hero of cards… For you to interfere with my business again… How insolent… So this time you use flowers… Then let me use mine!!!!!!” A sinister voice filled with malice shouted from inside the demonic sphere.

A huge blackish-red flower appears under Druid Oz and Claria.

Druid Oz knew that he has no time to evade, but he could still save Claria. Druid Oz kicked Claria with a decent amount of power, enough to send her away from the demonic flower’s reach, and chant a single spell before finally captured by the demonic flower.
