Chapter 1768 King Of Bearling -Part 6

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Apologies for the interruption but an urgent letter." Puzzle, the Royal Attendant came in as the King who was about to sleep after a long day of 'ruling' the Empire had been disturbed.

"Can't this wait? How urgent can it be that you have to disturb my sleep for it? If it's some possible manner of war, can't you find the generals for it?" King Zagg said as he wanted to close the door on Puzzle but his royal attendant was adamant.

"No, Your Majesty. This is of utmost importance that you have to see it now."

"Why, what's the matter, Puzzle?" The Queen, Thessalia in her night gown had also asked what was it that the matter could not wait.

"The Ex interim leader of Daimon and Lord of Mount Sunn, Jin of the Grey Bears had issued a duel challenge to the Royals," Puzzle said as he knelt and presented the challenge letter to them.

"Hah! How is that an urgent thing? I know he had been becoming a thorn in our plans in recent days that even Rocketeer decided to lower the production of Dragon Mechanoids temporarily to avoid scrutiny. But issuing a duel? That is just ridiculous. He probably just wanted to make a name for himself and decided to create such a ruckus. Doesn't he know that you cannot challenge a Royal, especially the King himself with such a declaration?" King Zagg found the whole urgency a blatant waste of time and wished to close the door on Puzzle again.

However, the attendant refused to budge.

"Puzzle, what are you doing? Do you want the guards to kick you out?!" King Zagg said and Puzzle in a slow but stern voice said out the following.

"Your Majesty. You might find this ridiculous but please hear me out till the end. If you still find this not an urgent issue after listening to what I have to say, I will gladly be on my way to the guillotine."

"Zagg, let him speak," Thessalia replied and Zagg sighed. "Zagg might not know it but there is an ancient duel that allowed people to challenge the Royals as long as they fulfilled the conditions as stipulated by the Royals. I believed it was some fortress on an offshore island, correct? I had already an impossible fortress to build in my studies. In the fourth cabinet. Prepared it a long time ago for morons would think they can challenge the Royals easily."

"See? If that's the concern that you have, then it's all done and settle. Find that and get on with life." Zagg said but Thessalia gave a death stare at him which eventually allowed Puzzle to finish his sentence. "Fine, carry on."

"Thank you, your Majesty. Thank you, my Queen." Puzzle said before returning to what he wanted to say. "Your humble servant also knows about challenge but this is entirely different. That Jin had managed to obtain an authorisation letter from the Three Winged Angel Dungeon."

"Authorisation Letter?" King Zagg looked at his wife since he absolutely had no idea about it and he found her face turned utterly blank. She who was at the back of King Zagg when conversing with Puzzle, had decided to squeeze through and take the letter their attendant was holding to read.

"How…? How??! How did he manage to convince the Rulebreaker?" Queen Thessalia said as she tried to wreck the letter by tearing it but it healed back by itself while magically highlighting the bottom part of the letter for an acknowledgment of both the King and Queen.

"What is that about?" King Zagg asked and Thessalia looked at him angrily.

"You said that the dungeon was unbeatable. You knucklehead who was supposed to be the strongest within the Empire said that the dungeon was UNBEATABLE!" Thessalia shouted and even the guards who were guarding their room were shocked by her sudden change of attitude.

Puzzle, who had seen the Queen's anger knew that this would not end well.

"Yes, I tried the dungeon and even brought elites from the Royal Guards. Even Uncle Steele! And he is the commander of the Royal Guards. We could not even pass through the Stone Throne of Greedy Hands!"

"Then what is this? A fake? How did a nobody, an interim leader, a pathetic no name which we heard from Archduke Dyke just a few months ago to be promoted as a lord able to clear the Three Winged Angel Dungeon?"

"Mount Sunn, that is where Mechasmith Flammet stays. He was the last surviving member of the infamous guild that decided to fight against the Three Winged Angel. They incurred so much more losses than victory that he was the only one out. Perhaps, he gave advice on how to fight them?"

"Still?!! Does that mean this Jin is in the city?"

"No, our spies reported that he is taking a break in Mount Sunn, doing his Lord duties and overseeing the current constructions."

"What? Then when did he clear the Three Winged Angel Dungeon? He must have done it with a considerable amount of losses. Why did no one see him in the capital? Why there are no reports of mass purchase of Mechanoids?"

"I had already checked in advance and there were no mass purchases of Mechanoids at all and no, he had not been into the capital ever since we planted spies to monitor his movement."

"Well?! What are we looking for? Go and assassinate him already?!" Zagg said and the Queen slapped his head hard.

"And forfeit the challenge? Are you insane? His death before the challenge means the wrath of the Three Winged Angel would be upon us! you dumb—URGH!" Thessalia tried to calm down and read the details of the authorisation letter again.

No matter how many times they read it, Thessalia could not find a loophole from it. This Jin had been a sore to them again and again. The latest Mecha Fire Dragon incident nearly brought the Royals into the light but the Royal's media representative debunked all of those and assured the public as the people who were involved had been made sure that they would not emerge again by the Royal Assassin Guild.

"This…Jin will be the death of me!"
