BXBX NOVEL Chapter 201 Boredom
"Naomi, how did that happen? I\'m pretty sure, we completely surrounded their building,"
Delving questioned in a dissatisfied tone, hearing that the former prime minister escaped and kibosh in the spy unto knew about it.
"We did, we never left them alone, his whole family vanished with him, and we don\'t even know how," Naomi had a guilty face, but she quickly recovered as she had to answer Velian on behalf of her squad.
Delviny looked unconvinced, but Velian knew something was wrong with that man from the moment, he saw that familiar black smoke.
"Naomi, make three groups and search everywhere in the city," Velian ordered hoping that they weren\'t able to leave the kingdom because of the banquet.
"Yes, master," With a determined face, she left while Delviny looked at her brother with an unconvinced look.
"Brother, why won\'t you kill him if he\'s dangerous?" She wanted to know why this sudden change of heart.
"I want to see what he does, he has that strange power and I want to follow his trail to find where he got it," Velian said while looking at the dragon core, which was in his storage.
"Of course, if he tries something dangerous, we will quickly kill him, don\'t worry, let\'s get ready for the war, I got intel that the empire is getting ready for something big,"
Delviny\'s face got ugly hearing his words, she wanted to enjoy this peace but at the same time, she couldn\'t help but wish to crush those ugly faces of both the former emperor and queen.
"We need to focus on agriculture for a bit, I can\'t afford another food crisis, even if we are in the biggest war in this land, I don\'t want any food crisis,"
Velian knew those types of things aren\'t Delviny\'s speciality so, he decided to leave them to Lyra and Sariya.
"Veli, when are you going to take Juno\'s and Elda\'s first time? We need to hatch that heh right?" Confused about why her brother didn\'t make any move, Delviny questioned.
But he just smiled at her words while answering with a serious face.
"It\'s nothing serious, I just want to make it special for them, since the first time is the most important time,"
Delviny just shrugged her shoulder hearing his words.
"But we didn\'t do anything like that, you just pushed me," Without any shame, she said.
"You\'re already special to me, so why do we need to do special things?"
Velian was just trying to save his neck with those cheeky words, but Delviny really believed his words and looked at his fave from the corner of her eyes.
"Idiot brother!" She whispered and got ready to leave the room, but suddenly she turned around and said something rather surprising.
"Akiyo says he wants to serve in the town guarding corps for a few days, before going to the war, that kid was always about war, do you know why he changed his mind?"
Velian didn\'t feel surprised to hear about it, as he clearly saw a different Akiyo after that day.
He became more mature instead of always trying to talk about how he was going to kill enemies in the war.
"Maybe he found someone he needs to protect," Velian just shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
Delviny knew something was fishy but, she just left it there and went to train the newbies and look after all the military work.
It has been a few days since the banquet and Velian already got tons of paperwork and request from the other small organizations.
*Sigh
"It\'s not exhausting, but it\'s boring, girls are doing their own work and I\'m just here-"
He thought while looking at all the papers next to him.
After the carnival ended, people went back to their daily lives. Even though the effects of the previous administration still existed things started to get better slowly with new nobles carefully interacting with the commoners.
"These are for the tournament," He looked at the different piles of papers and carefully went through every single detail until he saw a familiar name in that.
"Blazing sun and their whole party is applying for the tournament, looks like they want a rematch with me," Velian guessed because they had no any other reason to fall under his control.
"This will be interesting, maybe I should use my clone to fight in this tournament," He could have easily changed his appearance and participated using his main body, but he knew even if he hold back from it, things will get ugly.
He decided to have some fun with the tournament, but before that, he had many things to improve.
Even though the Rapidclaw kingdom wasn\'t the biggest kingdom, with all the lands combined, It managed to be equal with Malfoy and Dukas nations.
"It would be hard to manage more people, so I\'ll just manage this land for the time being," Velian knew he truly underestimated the work of the kingdom administration, and he regretted not recruiting more people for tasks like this.
Since the empire took Malfoy\'s kingdom under their rule, Velian thought about attacking it but he didn\'t want any more people under his control, so he decided to wait until the empire attack them giving him more time to make things right in the Rapidclaw kingdom.
"I got to find more people, maybe Lyra can train them,"
After a few hours, he managed to finish the work but it was too late to do anything as the sun was already setting, so he just finished his uneventful day and decided to go back to meet his girls to complain about paperwork.
Only to see a feast waiting for him.
"Sariya, mother, did you two cook today?" He questioned seeing the food on the table.
Even though Daphnia sucked at cooking, she learned to cook either fast. Now she can easily recreate something Velian cooked without even trying.
"Hehe! It\'s embarrassing but we thought about doing something special for you," Both of them said, at the same time.
Velian realised how fast his boredom left his body seeing all this and he couldn\'t help but think how important these girls are to him.
"Thank you both so much, you really didn\'t have to do this," He said with a smile.
"But I appreciate it more than you know." Leaving those words he waited for others to return. And they all sat down to enjoy the delicious meal and the warmth of their family.
