True King's Ecstasy

"Tsk, to think you're the one who took the opportunity," Looking at the old man in front of Velian, he said with a dissatisfied voice.

"What can I say? I guess I'm opportunistic," Shrugging his shoulders while gulping the drink Elda provided, Ivan smiled while looking at Velian.

*Sigh

"Well, since our mission is over, you're free so what does the adventure guild has to say about us?" Hoping to hear a piece of good news, Velian questioned.

He knew conflict is inevitable but at least one party becoming friends with them felt like such a convenient thing for them.

"Well, higher-ups are not comfortable with how you do things, I don't think we will be able to support you or come to an agreement," Ivam said with his same calm voice, which actually bothered everyone in the room except Velian.

"So will you fight with me then?"

"No, higher-ups decided to go into a neutral relationship, until now we didn't have any clash except my foolish one, so unless you do something which might affect them, we won't probably have to fight,"

Ivan's words would have been intimidating for anyone if that person wasn't Velian in this position because everyone knew the adventure guild is not a simple organisation that controls adventures.

They had so many things in their organisation such as resource control and information control, even though they didn't influence a kingdom, their versatility was even greater than a kingdom.

"Ivan, where are your headquarters? And do you think those higher-ups can beat me?" Getting rather comfortable in his seat, Velian wanted to know why and how these people can control their authority, even though they don't have a specific bloodline like royalty.

"Want to fight?"

"Well, even I don't know, I haven't seen guild master in my whole life, and our headquarters doesn't exist, we get our orders from the branches," Ivan said with his fingers tapping his head trying to remember every single detail.

According to him, one of the branches around the land is the headquarter, but until now it was never revealed which one it is.

"Your organization is picking my interest more and more," Velian wanted to see this mysterious guild master, but he knew right now he had many other things to worry about.

"So what are you going to do? Going to stay here or return back, I'm going to establish an adventure guild but I won't take outsiders to control it," Velian knew he could survive without the help of an organisation.

Daphnia also modded her head, since having other parties inside the kingdom that strive for influence is just inviting more conflicts.

"I'm going back, this old man is assigned to a new guild, it was fun looking at you fight but I still don't understand the source of your power, so It's useless wasting my time on you,"

Ivan was a little disappointed but, he knew there are people like Velian that cannot be explained by logic.

"I'm leaving, don't go too crazy with your stunts, I would like to see your future, young boy," Keeping the metal cup on the table, Ivan got up from his seat and got ready to leave the capital with his adventure group.

"You too, old man, Don't die because of sugar,"

Daphnia wanted to pinch Velian and say not to be too rude but, Ivan just laughed at his words and said farewell to them.

"Mother, let's get ready for the banquet," Right after, they left Velian asked everyone to come with him.

Everyone got relevant tasks and sections to look after. Daphnia, Lyra and Sariya took the management while Delviny and Naomi took the protection of the castle.

Juno decided to protect the outer circle of the capital.

"Elda, can you handle the food with other girls? I will teach you some new recipes," Slowly caressing the shoulder Elda, Velian requested because he knew her culinary skills were even better than his.

"Easy! I will make everyone in the banquet, go crazy with my food," Sariya felt relieved to see her daughter acting like a proper lady.

She felt tears welling up in her eyes seeing her becoming a grown woman.

"Good! You can take any help you want, this will be the official first banquet of our new kingdom, so it should be grand, I will announce our kingdom name on that day,"

Velian couldn't even finish his words, because he heard the familiar voice of two teenagers outside the gate with his extraordinary senses.

"Why don't you believe us? He's our big brother, we came here from the alliance," The boy with black hair shouted at the guard hoping, they would open the gate.

"Nice try boy, do you know how many people give that same excuse, come back later when you have something to prove that you're telling the truth," It wasn't a mocking voice or insulting one, but he was honest with his work as he didn't want to get fired from this amazing workplace.

"Sister, tell him something. Don't you want to see big brother?" Looking at the girl beside him, who had the same black hair but a beautiful face, which could be even said to have some sort of coldness to it, the boy muttered with dissatisfaction.

"We don't have to Akiyo, he will come searching for us, big brother Velian will feel my love from here," Her voice had next to no emotion, even though her words were like some sort of dramatic lines.

"Cut your bullshit sister, he didn't even start dating you yet, but you're already talking like he's your husband, besides he has more amazing girls with him-" He couldn't even finish his words, as he felt his pinky finger getting crushed by the girls boot.

"Did you say something?"

Even the guard, who was looking at these kids felt bad for the boy. But they couldn't keep making trouble like this because everyone heard the familiar but handsome voice of Velian, with him leaving the main door of the castle, which looked thrice as big as him.

'Hehe~ I knew it, he felt my love without even me talking in a loud voice, my beloved Velian'
