Chapter 34: Arrival
Chapter 34: Arrival
The day of the Holy Alliance meeting had arrived. All the vital members of the Stolz royal family were ready for this event.
Feuersturm Castle was elegantly designed by the Kingdom's finest designer. This was because they don't want the Walkiria Kingdom's reputation to be tarnished in front of their sworn allies. The other two Kingdoms' representatives were coming so they don't want them to see the Walkiria Kingdom as a laughingstock.
Feuersturm Castle was heavily guarded for the Holy Alliance meeting that was going to occur this day. The Walkiria Kingdom recalled some of its troops from the frontline to guard this important event.
Even though the people who will attend this meeting were powerful powerhouses of the Holy Alliance, the enemy alliance might plan something like what happened in Schild City so they couldn't afford to let their guard down in the slightest way.
Schild City's powerful soldiers were all sent to the frontline. That was why the surprise attack of the Dark Alliance in Schild City two months ago easily succeeded.
All of a sudden, the soldiers were all commanded to go to their position.
A moment later the High King of the elven race and his delegates had arrived. The Stolz royal family positioned themselves in a welcoming way.
"His High Kingship, High King Sythaeryn of the Elven race has arrived!"
"His High Lordship, High Lord Althidon of the Elven race has arrived!"
All the soldiers saluted as the High King of the elves and his delegates walked straight to the Walkiria Kingdom's Royal family.
"Greetings, High King Sythaeryn. And greetings to you, also, High Lord Althidon. Where's High Lord Sylvir?" King Arthur said to the High King of the elven race.
High Lord Althidon also greeted King Arthur out of courtesy. "Greeting to you too, King Arthur. I asked High Lord Sylvir to guard the Fhinnuisce Kingdom on my behalf so only I and High Lord Althidon are able to attend the meeting this time." High King Sythaeryn replied.
"I see. Please go to the conference room. We will start when Great Chieftain Thangrorlun arrives."
After hearing what the King of Walkiria had said, he entered the conference room ahead to wait for the Great Chieftain of Dwarven race to arrive.
After a while, the dwarves had arrived. "His Excellency, the Great Chieftain of Dwarven race, Great Chieftain Thangrorlun El Weise has arrived!"
"His Excellency, Vice Great Chieftain Groosonlir El Matador has arrived!"
All the soldiers saluted to the arrival of the Great Chieftain of the Dwarven race.
"Sorry, fer bein' late. I guess High King Sythaeryn was already here, eh?" said Great Chieftain.
"Don't worry about it. The High King is already here. He and High Lord Althidon are already waiting inside."
King Arthur turned his gaze to the person with the Dwarven King. "Greetings, Great Vice-Chieftain Groosonlir. If you're here, who's protecting the Riese Kingdom?"
"There's no need fer a guardian in our Kingdom. I'm sure that yer two kingdoms can handle protecting us from harm." The vice great chieftain laughed a little.
"His Grace, Duke Gawain von Pendragon has arrived!" The soldier announced the arrival of the duke.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Great Chieftain, and Great Vice-Chieftain. Forgive me for my tardiness." said the Duke.
"We just arrived just this moment ourselves! Har har har. What about ol' Duke Drake?" Great Chieftain Thangrorlun asked.
"I asked Duke Drake to protect the kingdom's borders so that he can prevent any attacks that might happen while we are in this meeting." King Arthur replied.
"I see. Let's go inside together then," Great Chieftain Thangrorlun said.
The King and the others went inside the conference room while the members of the royal family went on their assigned duties.
The families that came with the representatives of the other kingdoms that were in Holy Alliance had to be attended and that was the Stolz royal family's members' role.
Inside the conference room, all the Holy Alliance representatives were seated. Six of eight seats were occupied.
These eight seats represent the Holy Alliance's Eight Pillars. These eight pillars represented the eight supreme seishin practitioners of the Holy Alliance. They were among the Nidriege Welt continent's top 20 supreme seishin practitioners.
The overbearing aura inside the room was felt even outside the conference room.
The soldiers at the Higher Seishin Overlord cultivation, who were guarding the door outside the conference room, were barely standing because of the immense aura that was coming from the inside.
Now that all of the people who were invited had come, the Holy Alliance meeting had officially started!
