Novel Full Chapter 745 The King Of The Luminous Kingdom
—–
In the capital of the Luminous Kingdom, the King sat down over his throne. The King of the Luminous Kingdom was a descendant of the Ancient Hero, and carried some of his traits, such as sharp blue skin, golden blonde hair, a tall, and imposing body, and a strong, powerful Aura.
However, his daily routine of drinking tea while looking at the newspaper was suddenly interrupted by David once more. Who had been pestering for the last months over making a Knight Squadron near the Commoners District, which he couldn’t care less about.
Because of how peaceful he heard his Kingdom’s Capital was, he thought that David’s words were mere exaggerations, and he even thought he might be looking to make some sort of underhanded profit out of this squadron he desperately wanted to create.
It wasn’t that he was… a bad person per say, he was simply a very ignorant man.
“My King, I’ve come to report you what has happened yesterday. I was told that you were sleeping already, so I decided to wait until this morning.” David bowed before the king.
He was a rather young king at the age of 32, still acting slightly spoiled due to his luxurious upbringing, and lacking the experience of the previous old king, that died only five years ago due to old age.
The young man sighed, glancing at David’s green eyes. He was only two years older than him yet acted like someone ten years younger sometimes, David was the one that needed to have patience with him.
“What is it, David? Don’t you see I am quite busy? Can’t I even enjoy my daily routine in peace?” He asked, glaring at him with a tired expression. “Speak! What is it?”
“The hideout of one of the cultists we’ve been looking for so long was found by a group of talented Players! Not only we’ve secured proof of their existence still within this city, but we also saw that they held… many victims, hundreds of commoners had been captured and killed, used as sacrifices for their evil black magic.” David sighed.
“W-What?!” The King was shocked that such a thing was the truth. “You’re telling me that the Cult is still… existing?! I thought that was just some rumors from the more paranoiac nobles! I-Is this the truth?”
“Yes, your majesty, I swear on my family’s name.” David lowered his head.
“Hahh…” The King sighed.
After so many years of a rather peaceful governance, something truly serious was finally coming. He had not trained enough for this, and naturally felt incredibly nervous.
“I wonder what father would do now…” He thought. “W-Well, bring my advisors and the court magician as well, and all papers and… whatever else you found there! Anything! Let’s have a conference to talk about this properly. I’ll call my wife too.”
“Ooh! Yes, your majesty! Immediately!” David felt surprised over the King’s rapid response to the whole situation, even though he had only said whatever came to his mind as he was panicking.
As David left the scene, the King quickly ran to look for his wife, finding her playing in the flower field with their only child. Her beautiful silvery-white hair and sharp red eyes made her stand out among the other women of the entire Kingdom.
She had pale, snow white skin, and a beautiful body, with voluptuous proportions yet a graceful appearance. She was happily playing with her child, the young fruit of the love between Queen Camila and King Luminous VII.
“Mommy, mommy, I found this! Look, a huge bug!”
“Uwaah! D-Don’t get it to closer to me, dear! Hahaha… but well done! I’m sure you will become a good hunter in the future!”
The boy was on his eight years of age, having been conceived a couple of years before Luminous became the King, and after his father’s death, as the oldest child, he immediately inherited the throne, making his wife the new Queen and his son a prince.
Honestly, he had to stop for a bit, looking at the two play around happily, he would love for this scene to last forever. He wanted and dreamed of a world where his family could be happy together.
And until a few minutes ago, he believed he was already living in such an easygoing world… But now, learning about the great darkness lurking in the shadows, he couldn’t stay calm.
“Camila.” He called her.
“Dear?” Camila quickly stood back up.
“Daddy!” Little Gustav, with his adorable face, long golden hair and cute red eyes ran towards his father, hugging his belly. “Look at this bug I got!”
“I-It is rather large, yes, I used to catch larger ones though!” His father laughed a bit. “Now leave the critter be, a prince shouldn’t be handling around creatures like this!”
“Okay…” Gustav nodded, letting the beetle free into the garden.
“What is it? Weren’t you busy reading the newspaper?” His wife asked him.
“Well, yes, until just now.” Luminous sighed. “David… Well, I’ll tell you once we’re there. Leave Gustav with your mother and the nannies for now.” 𝑜𝘷𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔
“O-Okay, alright.” Camila was surprised over her husband’s sudden change of aura; he had become nervous out of the sudden.
“We’ll come back for lunch later! Mother, take care of him, okay?” Camilla said.
“Sure dear…” Camilla’s mother looked into the distance as King and Queen walked away rapidly towards the Conference Room.
“I wonder what has gotten the two so hasty out of the sudden…” The lady wondered.
Her appearance was rather different than Camila, as Camila was an adopted girl, both weren’t related by blood, but the Queen considered the lady her true mother, and the King allowed her to live in the Castle, giving her a private room and all.
It was very useful when they were useful to leave little Gustav to her as well…
“Mom, dad…” Gustav wondered, with his shiny red eyes.
As the Conference started and information about everything that was found out was given to the King and the Queen, the name “Player Planta” was dropped.
“Planta?” Camila suddenly wondered, feeling surprised to have heard that name, but then, she smiled, her sharp crimson eyes glowing brightly. “Fufu… To think she’s here already, being a hero and all. I’m looking forward to her growth since our last meeting.”
