Begriazar Kingdom

The Begriazar Kingdom is a kingdom with a huge territory located on the east side of the Ablux continent that consists of wonderous beastmen from several races. Because of the tight security and the hostility between the Begriazar kingdom and other human kingdoms, there is not much information that existed in the records.

The Begriazar kingdom, or the kingdom of beastmen, is ruled by a lion race beastmen royal family that had been sitting on the sit of the beast kingdom for hundreds of years.

At the battle with the demon emperor, the king of the Begriazar kingdom that famous for hating humans joined the battle for the sake of the world, and to protect his family. With his powerful strength, he greatly contributed to the sealing of the demon emperor.

******************************

“Hey, I heard that her highness the princess and the other heroes of the kingdom are going to join the Holy empire’s party of heroes to a quest,”

“I heard that too. Is that true?”

“Yes, that’s true. Isn’t that a great deal! It means that our kingdom’s heroes are actually world-class level heroes, right!”

“But even so… Doesn’t it worrying…?”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that our kingdom’s guardian will be away from the kingdom, right? Even if we just won the recent war and the new king had brilliantly made the country regain its stability, doesn’t it will be very dangerous if we suddenly got attacked when the heroes are away?”

“True, true. It will be definitely reassuring if at least the princess stays. It’ll give us old guys more motivation to work as well if we could see such beautiful princess every day,”

“You old perverts should just shut your mouths. But you’re right… It’s worrying…”

“No, no, no! Why should we? We now have the heavenly knights that saved us from the recent demonic attack stationed in the kingdom, right? The Tarot empire’s knights!”

“Ah! You’re true!”

“But wait, doesn’t the Holy empire believe in human supremacy? What if they have a dispute with the heavenly knights from the Tarot empire?”

“No matter what happened, the heavenly knights of the Tarot empire saved us from the demonic attack. And their ambassador, I mean ex-ambassador is the one who helped King Chris take over the throne, right?”

“You’re right. even if it’s the holy church itself, I’ll take the Tarot empire’s side if they get into a dispute with the holy empire. I believe we won’t be standing here without their help both at the demonic attack and the war against the Potterland kingdom, after all,”

“But well, there must be a reason why our new competent king agreed to let our heroes join with the Holy Empire’s party of heroes. And it is also said that the king was supposed to be joining them as well, but he refused. He must be staying behind because he’s worried for us!”

“I see… That competent king must have some other plans. But a journey towards the beast kingdom, huh… I hope that the princess and her comrades will be able to return harmlessly…”

The people of the Grandaria kingdom are currently livelier than usual. Most of them get out of their house to hear more news about the rumor that had been circulating nationally. At the time when the holy empire’s party of heroes entered the city, they’re pleasantly surprised because such famous people are entering the kingdom, but after quite a while, they couldn’t help but get worried.

The Holy Empire’s absolute principle is human supremacy. Demihumans and other races other than humans could only be considered slaves or livestock in their eyes. Those beliefs of the holy empire are spread all over the holy church that exists in almost all human countries in the continent.

At the time Peter announced the decision of the royal court in cutting off the ties between the kingdom and the church, the people is slightly surprised, but they’re also relieved as well. It’s not uncommon for the officials of the church to do unreasonable things towards the people. The healing service the priests offer has a rip-off price, the holy knights love to extort the people, and the bishops love to poke their noses into the political affairs of the kingdom.

And since the people of the Grandaria kingdom have their own heroes for them to worship, and with the arrival of the heavenly knights of the Tarot empire that saved them from the demonic attack, the citizens of the Grandaria kingdom couldn’t help but hold a bad image of the holy church and the holy empire because of the contrast between the holy empire’s holy church and the Tarot empire’s heavenly knights.

“Does the reaction of the citizens are within your expectation as well, Ren?” Peter stared deep right into Slime Tarot’s eyes. There is no murderous intent on it, but there’s a hint of complicated emotion inside it.

In response to the Grandarian king’s question, Slime Tarot just give off a smile that made Peter even more difficult to read what he’s thinking. 

“Of course not, even I’m not capable to achieve things to such extent,” (Slime)

“Hmph!” Peter snorted. Staring at the Slime’s unfathomable eyes that deepness couldn’t be measured, Peter got even more sure.

(As expected. This feeling of frustration because of looking at someone that I could never imagine surpassing. No wonder he gives off a nostalgic presence. They turn out to be the same person, after all… Well, it’s not like the thought never crossed my mind before…) (Peter)

“So you really are Ren, huh…” Peter let out a heavy sigh as he closed his eyes.

“I am. Sorry for keeping you guys in the dark, I understand how much I have made all of you worried…” said Slime with an apologetic smile.

“It’s fine,” Answered Peter as he gives off a smile. He had decided to accept the fact that the Slime Tarot from the Tarot empire before him is his best friend that disappeared several years ago, Ren Arken.

At this time, Sera and the others had agreed to go towards the beast kingdom. The result of the negotiation between the Grandaria kingdom side and the party of heroes of the Holy Empire is for the heroes of Grandaria Kingdom to follow the party of heroes towards beast kingdom according to the guidance of the prophecy except for Peter that decided to stay for a while at the Grandaria kingdom to ensure the stability of the kingdom and to give the ministers his guidance and plan for the future so that the country could still develop without his presence.

As Peter went to the king’s study to make up some plans and to take care of his load of paper works, it turns out that there’s a faint presence of someone inside of the study.

“But I’m glad that you finally tell me. But I need to admit that it’s kind of nerve-wracking to think that there is someone bold enough to enter the king’s study without getting noticed by my royal guards. There are even two royal guards that abilities I trust stationed right in front of the king’s study. You really ruin my confidence in them…” said Peter with a wry smile imprinted on his face. Even though he believes that it’s normal since it’s his friend, Ren that did that, he still couldn’t help but show his bitterness on how his trusted subordinates’ abilities turned out couldn’t be that helpful in front of this friend of his.

“You should just train them even harder. Other than you, I’ve only told Alfred,” (Slime)

“I see… That Alfred, his way too unexpected that I couldn’t even notice his strange behaviors towards you… To think that such things happened to you, I’ll try my best on my end together with the magician guild to research that condition of yours, Ren. But it’s still unknown whether they could find anything from it, I’m sorry,” (Peter)

Slime had already told Peter everything about what happened after Oz’s solo battle against the army of demons and the state of his real body currently in. He originally thought that Peter’s reaction will be as huge as Alfred’s, but it turns out that he didn’t do anything as such.

(He truly has obtained the demeanor of the great king, huh…) (Slime)

“It’s fine. I’m the one who should apologize. I hid all of these towards all of you for so long,” (Slime)

“Your reason is clear, and despite hiding your identity, you still show yourself and helped us countless times. You even fulfill your promise of helping me become the king, after all,” (Peter)

“Well, I know you must be tired of waiting anyway,” (Slime)

“True. But Ren,” Peter walked around the room and stopped in front of the window as he stared into the scenery outside.

“What is it?” (Slime)

“I know you might have realized. But I believe that both Edreale and Sera already have suspicions about the identity of Slime Tarot…” (Peter)

“….I know,” (Slime)

“Then. I believe that you should tell them in the near future. Before they do anything rash. But well, anyway, let’s get into the main point, shall we? So what is the plan?” said Peter as the complicated feelings inside his eyes dissipated.

“As expected of the brilliant king, you noticed my intentions clearly,” (Slime)
