It was not long until the people of Irelia heard about the news that the King had brought what is called "peace" to Mongolia during Queen Tanne's absence. Just the thought of summoning people from a different dimension was never an idea in the first place. No one from the other kingdoms has heard of such power. Elderon now has a trial of whether he lives or dies. He has betrayed his country, his kingdom, his family. He deserves to die.

We were all then set on a colosseum where Queen Tanne sits on his throne. His head was placed on a gallows depending on his fate. It was obvious that his face showed shame, embarrassment, and regret.

"Clover," Queen Tanne says.

"Yes, your highness?" I answer.

"I want you to choose for me what Elderon's fate should be whether it should be life or death."

"You know what my answer is, your majesty, but it's too much of a risk."

"Agreed, his connections to the other kingdoms are too strong and I don't want another war. Fine then, it is decided."

Queen Tanne soon stands up and the crowd is going wild. It seemed like the people of Irelia loved her.

"People of Irelia, as you see before you, this traitor of a King has done awful matters to this kingdom. I can see just from the sight of all of you and it disgusts me to see many of you suffering. In order for this public meeting, the fate of Elderon is chosen."

The crowd goes wild once more as Queen Tanne puts her thumb facing the middle. There was silence and a look of the crowd and she put her thumbs up and the crowd was confused.

"People of Irelia you must understand. The only "good" that Elderon did is make bonds with other kingdoms stronger and the army much tougher. I hope you understand, but he will have personnel under his watch 24/7 under my army."

As the night fell, a big festival was held in the dining hall. Everyone was eating, even the Gargolas SF was there. It was fun, to be honest. Soon I started to feel a slight pain in my stomach and headed towards the restroom. As I wash my face after throwing up, I look at the mirror to see the demon I killed at the first labyrinth.

"Clover, I need to tell you something."

"You! What's the matter?"

"I have an idea for you to come back home."

Slightly interested in his idea, I answered, "Go on."

"You have to become a demon king."

"So I have to be the enemy to beat this world?"

"Indeed."

I sigh, "So what do I need to do?"

"Kill."

"That's it?"

"Indeed. You are already close to becoming demon Lord rank. Just 3 thousand more kills under your name."

"I see," I hear footsteps. "I have to go."

As I walk out of the restrooms, the thought of becoming a Demon King fills my mind. As I walk towards my room, Rebekka stops me.

"Hey Clover, can I talk to you for a second?"

"What's the matter?"

"I want to join your team if you don't mind. I know I might be just some random girl joining you, but it's more than that. I know your fighting strength and I appreciate that and I want to work with that."

She started getting closer to me, but I backed up. "Please, I want to be with you."

Saying that made my heart pump even more as I bumped into the back of a wall. "Will you accept my request?"

"F-Fine, just back off real quick or someone will get the wrong idea."

"Clover!?" I hear a voice say.

"Rii, hey there...It's good to see you."

"What are you doing to Rebekka?"

"Nothing really..."

"I have joined your team Rii."

"I-."

Rii laughs, "Well you could've just said that."

Wow, what a mood change. I bet I'm going to have a talk about this later tonight... I thought. "Hey, get ready gals, we're leaving tomorrow."

"Fine."

"And Rebekka, you better catch up to our speed."

Rebekka smiles, "I should be saying that."

We both smile and walk back to our rooms.
