I Just want a Peaceful life

“Hmm?? You are right. They look like Anna’s terrible drawings. Wait.. Angus!! There is a slight Anna’s presence in all of them.” exclaimed Jayna.

Since Anna likes to act like a child and get spoiled, Angus and Jayna often give her drawing tools to play with. Most of the time, the drawing is about animals, but it is terrible and ugly.

Angus even feels pity if such a creature exists since they are too bizarre and have miserable bodies. Now, they didn’t expect such a creature to live and become a monster in this unknown dungeon.

As they sense small Anna’s presence, the couple becomes more worried, but they also don’t stay idle. Following Angus’ command, they fight against the incoming bizarre monster strategically.

With their looted equipment, the knights could fight better than last time. Each of them gets their specialized weapon and works as a team efficiently.

During the fight, Angus and Jayna try hard to [Analyze] and find the connection between the monsters with Anna. Unfortunately, they didn’t find anything and lacked too much information. This only worries them and they decide to continue their search for Anna again.

In the meantime, a group of Red Guards outside the capital city still fight hard against Red Guard leader Alix. Unlike inside the dungeon, Alix still has his transform and regenerate ability. These abilities make him very hard to kill, even by more than fifty Red Guards.

Still, it also means he couldn’t kill everyone. It has become a battle of attrition. Whoever has more stamina will win the fight. Unfortunately, Alix is fighting more than fifty trained Altras alone.

It is already a miracle he didn’t collapse after fighting for hours. The Red Guard leader keeps stalling the battle by shapeshifting into many forms.

“Why don’t you give up and end your futile struggle?” said one of the Red Guards.

“Never!! I could do this all day, brats!!” said Alix while transforming into another shape.

The Red Guard could only shake their head and launch another attack without stopping Alix.

In the meantime, the young Red Guard Binn comes into a predicament. After receiving his leader Alix’s command, Binn shapeshifts himself and creates a large wing before moving as fast as possible to Ucha’s outskirts.

Using almost all his mana, Binn arrived at the Ucha outskirts in a few hours. However, his traveling method is too conspicuous and attracts others.

They thought Binn was trying to escape outside since the kingdom entrance was near Ucha’s outskirts. When they reached Ramuz’s humble residence, they didn’t expect to be subdued by an unknown black-clothed person out of nowhere.

They couldn’t even react before everything in their body suddenly disappeared and got chained, restricting their mana and shapeshift traits.

“Tch… Why are all of you so poor? Aren’t the Altras supposed to store their entire fortune in their storage tools?” grumbled the hideous man sitting on top of the chained Binn.

“Ragaz, what are you doing?” a hoarse voice heard nearby.

“Ahh… Ramuz, this is… totally not my fault. You know my condition. Besides, they tried to reach your place like getting chased by something. So, they must bring nothing but trouble.” explained Ragaz.

The small giant Ramuz didn’t reply and only released a huge sigh at his friend’s antics. He knows Ragaz’s condition and his [Greed]. It never occurred to him since Ramuz didn’t have anything valuable besides the double axe artifact on his back.𝔬𝑣𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t

However, this artifact is too powerful and already recognizes Ramuz as the master. Therefore, its value is almost non-exist in the eyes of Ragaz since he couldn’t possess it until Ramuz’s death.

Ignoring his greedy friend who is counting the Nir, “What brings all of you here?” asked Ramuz to the chained Altras on the ground.

“G-Giant Ramuz… We…” replied one of the Altras nervously.

“Rebellion!! The whole Nirvas is in a civil war!!” yelled Binn in a hurry before the others finished his sentence.

“Civil War?” asked Ramuz as he approached Binn and shook the whole area with each step.

“Y-Yeah…” replied Binn nervously.

“Tell me everything.” said Ramuz.

Meanwhile, inside the Heart Kingdom Royal Palace, King Leon sits on his chair while talking to his worn-out wrist bracelet.

“So, let’s get this straight. Everyone in the Redmore capital city is trapped inside a newly made dungeon and the Red Queen Nabe offers five inexperienced sixth-grade female Altras as compensation for all the trouble?” asked King Leon.

“Yeah. That’s the gist of it.” replied the Duchess from the other side.

“Haa… Why do those brats almost get into big trouble and somehow bring something after that? First, Master Benjamin, an ancient beast snake, and now this.” grumbled King Leon while massaging his head.

“Leon, what should we do?” asked Duchess Amberblaze.

“This is a difficult choice. If it was a few dozen years ago, I might easily accept such a term since, at that time, slavery was still normal things in the kingdom. Moreover, Altras slave is very valuable. Be it as a workforce, research materials, or others.” explained King Leon.

“Getting five of them is an excellent deal just for all this trouble. However, if we accept it now, it may allow others to start slavery again. Our hard work for years will be drowned in the drain just by this single action.” added King Leon.

“Then, should we decline the offer and ask for something else?” asked the Duchess.

“No. We can’t let those five female Altras go. Based on your story, the Red Queen seems too adamant about sending them to Firuman to experience things. The slavery contract may not be a good thing for them, but it also protects them.” said King Leon.

“Altras race is the only race with a very long lifespan. No one knows their real lifespan limit since they are very secluded.”

“As long as they aren’t killed, they will outlive human life. It means sooner or later, they will be free from us since we couldn’t intentionally kill them. The Red Queen will definitely sell them as a slave to other forces in Firuman if we decline them.” concluded King Leon.

“Although our law forbids this disgraceful act, we couldn’t let others get their hand on the Altras slave. Who knows if they can somehow replicate Altras’ undying regeneration ability.” added King Leon.

“So, what should we do?” asked the Duchess as she agreed with her lover’s conclusion.

“Offer different contract than slavery. Make it as human as possible, but also restrict them. Then, asked for more compensation for everyone who died or was injured in this incident. You also need…” said King Leon as he gave a series of commands to the Duchess.

The Duchess may be a wise and good leader but compared to King Leon, she is still far away in terms of negotiation and seeing the bigger picture.

After King Leon finished his explanation, “Duchess Amberblaze, after you get out from there with the kids, return as soon as possible. We will start our plan the moment you reach Windshire Fort.” ordered King Leon formally.

“Yes, My King.” said the Duchess respectfully.

“I will leave first, love. It seems the dungeon is starting to produce strange monsters.” said the Duchess as she beheaded a monster who suddenly appeared near her.

“Sure. Stay safe, my love.” replied King Leon before looking in a specific direction with a serious expression.

Then, he disappears from his working room and continuously blinks until he reaches a dozen kilometers outside the capital city.

*WHOOOSH* *BOOOOM* Not far from King Leon, a massive man with a lion head appeared after creating a sonic boom on his way.

“Warchief Might, I don’t remember inviting you to my kingdom.” said King Leon while taking out his sword.

“Cut the crap, Leon!! Where is that brat?” asked the strongest beastman.

(A.N. I will refer to the beast race (people) as Beastman to differentiate it from the beast race (creature).)

“Brat? Did you mean Angus Victory? Don’t tell me the strongest Beastman is going to avenge his daughter over a petty fight.” mocked King Leon.

“Shut up!! I don’t care if she is lost or dies in battle. But it is different if he wants to become my daughter’s husband. So, give me that brat!!” roared Warchief Might in anger.

“Husband?! Hold on a minute… Since when did that brat propose to your daughter?” asked King Leon in confusion.

‘Did Extalia forget to mention it since many things happened at that time? But, last time I heard, Warchief Might’s daughter almost died under Angus’ blade. How did it turn out like this?’ thought King Leon inwardly.

“Propose?? Like hell, he did that. If anyone dares propose to my daughter without informing me first, I will tear them to pieces.” roared Warchief Might.

‘I don’t know. The warmonger Might care so much about his daughter.’ thought King Leon inwardly.

“Alright, that’s enough chit-chat. Bring out that brat or I will search him on my own.” said Warchief Might as he released his wild mana.

“Warchief Might, don’t you think you are too overbearing. Besides, that brat is currently not here.” replied King Leon as he released his mana to fight back.
