Chapter 237: [Bonus chapter] A Guardian’s Mission Part Two
Hearing what Akun said, Oliver felt a small chill run down his spine. He crankily turned around to gaze at Hestria as he mumbled, "You mean such a sweet-looking woman is secretly a psycho who enjoys carving monsters up?" Hesitation, a hint of disgust, and fear could be sensed in his voice.
Leona, noticing how he acted, couldn’t help but chuckle, prompting Oliver to redirect his gaze at her as he mumbled with a slightly irritated tone, "What’s so funny, huh?" He narrowed his gaze, sounding defensive as he asked Leona what was the cause of her sudden laughter, secretly knowing he was actually the cause.
Leona then turned to face him, excellently hiding her delighted face, wearing an expression of seriousness as she gazed at Oliver, saying, "Nothing." In actuality, she found Oliver’s sudden change in tone amusing.
For the past couple of days, he had been rather ’active,’ disturbing the female guardians with his rather charming approaches that were actually weird, and they had all been avoiding him ever since.
Seeing that he was the one to start avoiding a woman now was rather amusing, hence her chuckle.
Akun, while still seated in his throne, noticed Oliver and Leona’s friendly banter, but he knew that there was no time for it, so he called out to them to stop. "Leona, Oliver, as you can see, we are in the middle of a very important discussion, so I would prefer it if you both kept your exchanges for later."
Oliver and Leona, realizing that they were having fun in the presence of their liege during an important meeting, silently insulted his authority. Something both did not actually intend to do. Realizing this, they couldn’t help but apologize. Both instantly bowed their heads and then said, "We apologize, my liege. We won’t let such a thing happen again."
Unable to summon the courage, she simply gazed at the ground, feeling defeated.
Suddenly, Akun’s commanding voice echoed through the throne room, each word a weight on Hestria’s already heavy heart. His gaze bore into the downcast Hestria, and with a stern expression, he uttered, "In case you are unaware, I have just enslaved you.
If you ever try to betray me in the near future," Akun’s tone turned icy, "then your life will end then and there." The gravity of his words hung in the air, creating an atmosphere of palpable fear for Hestria.
Akun then added, his voice retaining a serious undertone as he narrowed his gaze, "Are we clear, Hestria?"
Upon hearing his words, Hestria, visibly trembling and defeated, couldn’t help but reply with a shaky voice, "W-well, crystal clear, sir." The weight of the threat lingered, leaving an indelible mark on the once-confident knight.
Akun’s voice echowed in the grandeur of the throne room, his words calm yet firm, "Good." With a gradual and imposing motion, he rose from his throne. The weight of his presence filled the air as he continued, "Now, I guess it’s time I see you all off."
As the imposing figure of Akun stepped out of the majestic castle, Leona, Hestria, and Oliver followed suit. The vastness of the skies awaited them, and together they ascended, all took to the skies, lifted by the powerful force of Akun’s aspect power.
