Chapter 1067: Reporting To The King And The Queen
-----
Once we returned to the castle, we made our merry way inside the throne room. It seems the Queen had already told this to her husband, as Rose, or well, Camilla, was waiting for us with her husband in the throne room. I am still trying to understand how she ended getting romantically involved with a NPC, and a King no less.
I am not saying this as if it were a bad thing, but the constant need to log off as a Player would make it harder for the two, right? She also can't possibly just sleep with him in-game, it would be detrimental for her health, I think...
So how does she do it? I don't even remember her ever logging out. Is she really a Player or something else? Maybe, maybe I am overthinking it and I shouldn't meddle with other people's lives, I guess.
"Welcome back, everyone. My wife told me everything that happened, and about your secret mission," the King greeted us first, as I noticed my daughter, her friends, and Angelina's party right in front of us.
"Ah, yes, your majesty, we've come back with a large... amount of news, if I dare say myself," I sighed. "Like, too many things happened, but... yes, we got evidence, we saw everything. We even bought someone here that might be a living member of the cultists."
"What?! Really?!" the King wondered, his bright eyes shining even brightly.
"Is that true?" the Queen wondered. "It seems things went even better than I imagined! Please, show us the evidence! Also, feel free to send me the pictures and videos you got."
"Very well your majesty," I nodded, doing that while Rita expanded her shadows, Tomas suddenly appeared resting over the ground.
"It is a complicated question," the King said. "However, I cannot let those monsters roam freely in my country. Although Tomas here is a victim forced to become a cultist, I could confidently say all wizards are cultists, right?"
"I don't know, but at least those within that big group are," I nodded. "We could wait for Tomas to wake up first, I believe we could ask him these questions and he could help us make things clearer."
"We must prepare first, amass as many troops as possible before things become worse," Camilla said. "Based in what you said, Merlinus is most likely their leader, and incredibly powerful Magician of Level 400 and higher, his Magic Circle Tier is rumored to be eight or even worse, nine. And he apparently has an incredible affinity and talent over space magic, something we had no idea about!
He's immensely dangerous, and we must tread carefully."
"I agree, first let's get as many troops as possible. A potential invasion to the tower can't be done immediately right now. Merlinus might or might have suspicions of his own, but it's better to remain neutral and act like fools until our troops, tools, and plans are finally completely made," the King nodded.
"Merlinus is not a fool though," I said. "You really have to hurry; I don't think you could keep this up for more than a couple of days... I'm sorry that things came to be this way, but if you want a chance to defeat him, we must hurry. And don't just rely on your troops, your majesty. Our entire group is willing to help as much as we can. We could also recruit even more Players for the cause.
Right, Queen Camilla? I am sure you could bring a lot of them."
She smiled, giggling.
"Yes, indeed."
