Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 71: A war to come

Reinhard, Wilhelm, and Crusch all three stood in front of the council of elders, waiting for a response from them.

The three warriors had explained the situation with Subaru and Sora as carefully as they can without making it sound like the Vollachia empire had anything to do with them ending up there while also avoiding mentioning the Witch of Vanglory, knowing that this could set them off to try and do something reckless or even straight up deny the request.

While they waited for a bit, the three hoped that their request will be allowed since they know that time is short, and their friends could be in even more danger as each second passes.

Crusch had been informed by the two on what is going on prior to speaking with the council of elders.

She was motivated to help since she values Sora and Subaru, seeing the two has important people for Lugnica but also close friends she cares about.

The three waited for a bit until finally Miklotov turned towards the three to say,

"We have heard your request but we cannot allow it."

"That's...to be expected..." Reinhard said in a low tone of voice, disappointed since he knew that they won't accepted their request.

Wilhelm was also disappointed, yet he wanted to know what the council's reason is. Before he said something, Crusch beat him to it by asking in a respectful yet stern tone,

"Mind if you tell us why?"

"Crusch-sama, you must understand that having you, a royal candidate, be in a place like Vollachia would put you in danger. Especially with the witch cult's possible involvement."

"Not to mention that having Reinhard in another kingdom could have Vollachia declare war on us. Either that or Kararagi and Gusteko will view us as a threat and send both the Admirer and the Mad Prince to take us out." Said the council member Bordeaux.

Miklotov looked at his fellow council member and nodded as he along with the others agreed with this thought. He turned towards the three to continue what Bordeaux was saying,

"Until we know the status of the knight known as Natsuki Subaru and the Keyblade Master, Sora, we cannot send you out. If the Vollachia Empire has held them captive, then we will declare war on them and send Reinhard van Astrea. Otherwise, we will just have to wait for them to avoid causing a mess with the other kingdoms."

Crusch, Reinhard, and Wilhelm all three understood what they were saying yet knowing that an actual witch is involved and targeting their friends, they had to go no matter what. Just as one of the three was going to mention that detail, someone enters the throne room which catches everyone's attention.

"Who goes there?"

"Someone who should've been here!"

Reinhard knew the voice and realized that Felt would eventually wake up from her long sleep to find that they started without her. She walked with anger in her eyes, having felt betrayed in a sense for having been left behind by her knight. She approaches him and tries to land a kick on him yet he manages to block the attack effortlessly.

"Pardon my Felt-sama. You were in deep sleep. I didn't want you to be disturbed as you once requested—"

"That was different! I didn't want to be bothered with boring stuff but this...this is for big bro and my hero's sake! I wouldn't have gotten mad this time because it was more important!"

Felt spoke out as she wanted to do her best to help the two boys from a far. Reinhard apologized once again to which Felt accepts while annoyed before turning her attention at the council figuring that they denied their request.
