“THANK YOU, WARRIOR! THANK YOU!” The Galhala King thanked Druid Oz with an unimaginable loud voice.

Druid Oz got off guarded and stumbled because of the sudden loud voice from the Galhala King, but the Galhala King caught his body and hug him with a greater force than the tap at his shoulder before.

“U-Ugh…” Druid Oz tried his best to not let his groan out as he continuously heals his body and cast a strengthen spell on it.

“Dear, stop it, you don’t want to kill our daughter’s life savior before we could even pay him back for his deeds, right?” The Galhala Queen called out towards the Galhala King. The Galhala Queen’s voice is elegant yet powerful. Powerful by means that people could sense her intelligence and charisma just by hearing her voice.

Hearing the Galhala Queen’s words, the Galhala King immediately stopped his actions and release Druid Oz.

“I-I apologize, forgive me, Mr. Ren. It’s a bad habit of mine,” Apologized the Galhala King as he returns to his throne.

“I-It’s fine, Your majesty,” (Druid Oz)

(You stupid king… You almost broke all of my bones!) (Druid Oz)

“Once again, I’m sorry for showing you such a disrespectful side of me, warrior. My name is Reanadra Galhala, what is yours, dear my daughter’s savior?” Asked the Galhala King.

“This one’s humble name is Ren Arken, your majesty,” Replied Druid Oz politely as he once again kneel before the throne.

“I heard that you’re a royal outcast, but it seems that you’ve good manners that even better than some of the nobles. I won’t ask any details about you being an outcast, since if you’re one of my enemies, you would not save Charnia, you will kill her and ask for reward from my enemies instead,” (Galhala King)

“I knew this day will happen, so I’ve assigned lots of guards to guard and follow her. It turns out that she’s smart enough to fool all of them, but stupid enough to get almost killed by the enemy,” (Galhala King)

“I’ve heard the full story from Charnia, she said that you defeated the demonized troops that chased after her, and even healed her that in the brink of death to the point that her scars could no longer be seen. Charnia won’t lie on this kind of thing, so it must be true, that’s why, Ren Arken,” The Galhala King once again rises from the throne.

“For healing, saving, and escorting my daughter safely back to this kingdom, and for defeating the demonized troops, you’ll be rewarded handsomely for this. Despite being an outcast, it seems that you have a decent amount of knowledge and manners, so there is no need for me to worry about granting you this,” (Galhala King)

“Ren Arken, as the king of the Galhala Kingdom. I, Reanadra Galhala, grant you the title of ‘Viscount’! I will definitely give you a huge land for the reward, but I will need to discuss it with my ministers first before granting it to you,” The Galhala King suddenly stated a surprising statement that left Druid Oz dumbfounded.

(V-V-Viscount!? This sudden!?) (Druid Oz)

“The title and the land are only for escorting my daughter back, for healing her and bringing her back from the brink of death, I will reward you with 400,000 Galhala gold, 5,000 Adamantite armors, and Adamantite weapons for your future army, and you may take any 2,000 royal soldiers from the Galhala Kingdom,” said the Galhala King.

Even though the Galhala Queen is wearing a mask, covering her face, Druid Oz could still feel that she’s rather surprised with the Galhala King’s words. Not to mention Charnia’s sister that is kneeling beside Druid Oz, she’s staring at his father with her mouth wide agape.

It’s normal for her to get surprised. The rewards the Galhala King just gave Druid Oz are far more than just ‘Rewarded Handsomely’. He usually just give a nobility title for a reward or maybe an enhanced magic weapon if it’s a great deed, but in Druid Oz’s case, he gives almost all the things needed to be a great noble of the kingdom.

“F-Father… The ministers will definitely complain when they heard this…” (Claria)

At the moment, Druid Oz didn’t simply get overjoyed for the reward he just gets from the Galhala King. The reason for his journey towards the Eastaria continent is not to become a noble at an Owlfolk kingdom, after all. And whenever there is a carrot provided, there must be a destination the Galhala King wants him to go.

(I see… The Galhala King is not just brawn, after all… If not, he won’t be emitting such great pressure and charisma indeed…) (Druid Oz)

!!??

(W-What is he doing!) (Claria)

Claria got flustered when she saw Druid Oz rise and stand straight, staring right into the Galhala King’s eyes.

“Such in-” One of the royal guards transformed into his owl form, but immediately stopped when he saw the Galhala King raised his hand.

Without paying them any heed, Druid Oz slowly shifted his gaze from the Galhala King. He observes the queen, the royal guards stationed inside the throne room, and lastly, towards Claria.

“What are you doing?” Whispered Claria towards Druid Oz, but Druid Oz remains indifferent.

Finished observing everyone, Druid Oz once again crossed his eyes with the Galhala King.

The eyes of the doting father had disappeared, only the eyes of a powerful king remained.

“It seems that your enemies are not present here, your majesty,” Druid Oz suddenly said a strange statement.

“Hm? And why did you say that?” Asked the Galhala King. Druid Oz could feel that the Galhala King is currently smiling as Druid Oz piqued his interest even further.

“None of them, give off the scent of being my enemy, after all. You see, this flower is called Alianza,” Druid Oz suddenly took a blue flower from out of nowhere.

“This flower has the ability to discern the enemies of those who hold the mother flower. Those who hold any negative emotions towards the mother flower will have the flower turn red when they touched it. But luckily, it seems that no one here has a negative emotion towards you, your majesty,” (Druid Oz)

“And how did you know that?” Asked the Galhala King.

“Ah! I’m sorry, I have the habit of giving flowers to those who I’ve met. I’ve put the mother flower at your pocket, your majesty, while I also put the other flowers at the others present in this room,” (Druid Oz)

All of them checked their pockets, and they realized that there is indeed a flower in their pockets. The queen and Claria found one inside their pocket, while the royal guards didn’t even realize that they’re holding the flower in their hands.

“What a magnificent skill you have, Ren Arken, no, Lord Ren. But what is your purpose for showing this to me?” Asked the Galhala King.

Everyone inside the throne room got cold sweat on their back. But it’s normal since they don’t even sense or perceive any movement of Druid Oz approaching them or when did he put the flowers on them. If he is a killer, they would now be lying on the ground, dead without having able to resist.

“I like generous kings and lords, but an extraordinary reward such as the reward you gave me is more like a trap. Normal people will get overjoyed without catching any ulterior motives, but not me,” Druid Oz confidently said.

“An ability to heal and the ability to defeat the demonized troops alone, I believe that is what you want, your majesty. But it’s still a possibility that the princess is just hallucinating and unconsciously exaggerate the story, and that’s why I show you this. I believe that you will send me in some expeditions and battles to prove it while rewarding me a territory will be the leash that you will put on my neck. Isn’t it true, your majesty?” (Druid Oz)

“I see… You’re very sharp indeed, Lord Ren,” the Galhala King continues to call Oz with the term ‘Lord’ to assume that he had officially become a noble of the kingdom.

“So does it mean, you refuse to serve under me?” The Galhala King asked Druid Oz, but this time, he used his enormous murderous intent to force the deal.

!!!!!!!?????

([King] ranked, huh…) (Druid Oz)

Druid Oz realized that Claria trembled slightly in face of her father’s powerful murderous intent, with a single flick of his fingers, a barrier covered her, protecting her from the murderous intent.

“It’s not that I’m defying or disrespecting you, your majesty. As this is the proof,” Druid Oz take another blue flower.

“The flower…” (Galhala King)

“Yes, I am not your enemy, your majesty. But I could help you take down your enemies,” (Druid Oz)
