Rudeus made no extra arrangements for this trip to Shirone.
--There is only one goal.
He took his younger sister and his adoptive mother Lilia, with him.
Let's go.
With Rudeus's command, the group soared into the sky aboard their giant flying swords.
The sword sliced through the clouds, and the wind whistled past their ears. At their current speed, it wouldn't take them long to travel from the south to the Shirone Kingdom.
In less than half a day.
The capital city of the Shirone Kingdom had already come into view.
The magnificent city walls, the dense streets, and the towering royal palace in the center gradually became clearer beneath the clouds.
The giant flying sword showed no sign of slowing down, passing directly over the city gate.
In an instant, the entire city seemed to be alarmed.
Pedestrians on the street all looked up.
The soldiers on the city wall instinctively gripped their weapons tighter.
"What is that?!"
"Someone is flying over the royal city!"
"Stop them!"
Several soldiers rushed to the edge of the city wall, and one of them mustered his courage and shouted to the sky:
"Who are you?! How dare you trespass into the royal city! Stop immediately!"
Rudeus didn't even turn around while aboard the flying sword.
My name is Rudeus.
The sound wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the city walls.
The next moment, the flying sword gradually descended in altitude.
As the group approached the city wall, the soldiers finally recognized the familiar face.
The initial surprise and doubt quickly turned into an overwhelming sense of shock.
"That... that is..."
"It really is Primordial God!"
"Quickly! Report to the palace immediately!"
"Report what?"
Rudeus glanced at them indifferently.
"I can go in by myself."
After saying that, he turned around and waved to Eris and the others.
"You all stay here and wait for me, I'll be right back."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Rudeus stomped his foot, and his entire body rose into the air.
Without the aid of any flying sword, he seemed to lose gravity and flew straight towards the palace.
The soldiers on the city wall looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one dared to stop them.
After all, the man before them was the legendary " Primordial God ".
If even he needs soldiers to stop him, then there are probably not many people in this world who are qualified to stop him.
Rudeus passed through the many palace walls and finally landed in the royal palace hall.
The guards inside the hall were already sweating profusely with tension, but none of them dared to draw their swords.
At that moment, King Shirone, who was on the throne, slowly stood up.
Their eyes met across the distance.
Rudeus neither bowed nor exchanged pleasantries.
He simply crossed his arms over his chest, his expression calm, yet exuding an undeniable sense of pressure.
"The King of Shirone."
"I've come today for only one thing."
"Take my sister and my foster mother away."
His voice was very soft.
But the air in the main hall seemed to freeze instantly.
"If I knew that they had suffered even the slightest injustice in the past year, not even a single frown..."
Rudeus narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Then, you, King of Shirone, have no need to continue sitting in this position."
A single sentence was uttered.
The hall was completely silent.
King Shirone broke out in a cold sweat.
He quickly waved his hand.
" Your Primordial God Impact, you're exaggerating."
"Your foster mother and sister are in the palace, and I have been providing them with the best food and drink ever since."
"Especially your sister. I try my best to fulfill almost any request she makes, as long as it's not too unreasonable."
"If you don't believe me, I will send someone to bring them here right now so you can see for yourself."
Rudeus did not answer.
Just wait quietly.
A moment later--
"Thump, thump, thump..."
The sound of crisp footsteps came from outside the main hall.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure rushed in.
"Oniisan~~!"
Aisha spotted Rudeus immediately.
Her composure vanished instantly, and she flew over like a bird returning to its nest, throwing herself into Rudeus's arms.
"Oh, Nii-san! You've finally arrived!"
Rudeus reached out and caught her, gently ruffling her hair.
" Aisha..."
At this moment, the coldness in his eyes completely disappeared, leaving only undisguised doting.
The brother and sister embraced for a moment before Rudeus asked in a low voice:
"Have you had a happy year here?"
Aisha raised her head, deliberately putting on a serious, thoughtful expression.
"Um..."
She drawled out the sound.
King Shirone on his throne was so nervous that he almost stopped breathing.
No~
Aisha suddenly laughed.
"The king here is very kind to me."
"I can get almost anything I want to eat, and books are delivered to my door whenever I want to read. Plus, nobody bullies me."
King Shirone visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"That's good."
Rudeus nodded slightly.
Just then, he noticed another figure appear at the entrance of the main hall.
That was someone I knew so well, I couldn't be more familiar with them.
"Aunt Lilia..."
Rudeus put Aisha down and quickly went to meet her.
The next second, he pulled Lilia into his arms.
" Rudeus..."
Lilia's voice was choked with emotion.
Rudeus closed his eyes and gently patted her back.
"Very good."
You're all alright.
Only at this moment did his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settle down.
Seeing this, King Shirone finally dared to speak again.
"Look, Primordial God Impact."
"Over the past year, we have indeed done our best to take care of your adoptive mother and sister."
"This requires a significant amount of manpower and resources. Moreover, with the current tense international situation, trade is affected, and food, medicine, and other resources are becoming increasingly scarce..."
"Alright."
Rudeus raised his hand, interrupting him.
"No explanation needed."
He looked at King Shirone, his tone becoming calm.
"I know what you've done to take care of my family."
"I'm not an unreasonable person."
"Therefore, I've decided to give Shirone a gift."
King Shirone was taken aback.
"Gift?"
"To be precise—it's a prophecy."
"Prophecy?"
Rudeus nodded.
"Send your seventh prince to study in the King Dragon Kingdom."
"Then send the third prince to Ranoa University of Magic for further studies."
King Shirone's expression gradually turned serious.
Rudeus continued:
"Just do these two things."
"The future of Shirone will give it the opportunity to become a truly powerful nation that dominates the region."
If Pax can be sent to the King Dragon Kingdom, then one day in the future he will become the ruler of Shirone again and establish the Shirone Republic, and Laplace will be resurrected because of this opportunity.
At that point, we can take advantage of Laplace's weakest moment and completely eliminate him. Then we can help the Dragon God gather the last piece of the secret treasure...
This was Rudeus's original plan.
However, he knew that things rarely turned out as smoothly as expected. Therefore, there was never just one path.
Even if you go the wrong way, you can just use a time-space teleportation array to start over.
However, the king still hesitated.
" Your Primordial God Impact, this..."
Rudeus looked at him calmly.
There are no "buts".
"My words are divine pronouncements."
"Besides, I'm not asking you to send them off to have fun."
His gaze sharpened.
"Your third prince and eighth prince are a good-for-nothing and a good-for-nothing."
"What can we do besides consuming the kingdom's resources if we stay in the palace?"
"Let them out."
"Go and see a bigger world."
Go and learn real knowledge.
"Go out and explore the systems, magic, and people outside of Shirone."
Rudeus paused.
"If they can return after completing their studies, they may become Shirone's most important asset in the future."
Silence fell once again in the hall.
King Shirone lowered his head and pondered for a long time.
Finally, he slowly raised his head.
"I see."
" Your Primordial God Impact, I will take care of it immediately."
Rudeus nodded slightly.
"Very good."
"Then I won't stay any longer."
He turned and took Aisha's hand, then gestured for Lilia to follow.
"My time is very precious."
Having said that, Rudeus led the two away from the hall.
Sunlight streamed in outside the palace.
Eris, Rujierd, and the others who had been waiting outside the city finally saw that familiar figure.
