Beast Knights (KKM Fanfiction)

Introductions

If one would ask Yuri, he could say that Murata was right about seeing all four of Shori's friends gathered in that other world as something way too much to be a coincidence. It seemed to be something that was orchestrated beforehand. Much like how Shinou manipulated a lot of things as he watched over Shin Makoku despite being possessed by Soushu for a long time.

But then again, who would even orchestrate something like summoning Mari and her friends from Earth to become the new Beast Knights of Esovia? Yes, even Nobu and Chie were chosen by the Beast Spirits along with Mari and Rina to fulfill the roles of the four previous Beast Knights who died a long time ago, much to their surprise. As to what kind of Beast Knights the four chosen people were, it was still a mystery to them.

At the moment, their priority was to gain support and have the Beast Knights help them in solving their current predicament about the Phantasma. The Maoh could tell that it won't be an easy task, considering the authority that the leaders of the Five Aristocratic Families were exuding.

It didn't take long for all of them to reach the Roseberke Castle where the conference with regards to Shin Makoku's situation would be held. The leaders and the Beast Knights were all present and Lord Reinhardt ordered that it should only be them who were allowed inside at the moment. Of course, it only increased the tension that Yuri and the others were feeling.

But then...

"I don't think we have anything to worry about, Yuri," Conrad uttered all of a sudden which surprisingly dissipated the tension the Maoh was feeling even if it was only for a bit.

Yuri looked at the said soldier as they continued walking towards the castle. "What made you say that so confidently, Conrad?"

"The leaders may all look scary as if they don't know how to smile at all. But I think if it's for Shin Makoku, they would never hesitate to lend a hand to help their fellow Mazoku."

The Maoh was at a loss of words upon hearing that. But for some reason, it gave him quite a boost when it came to confidence with the way Conrad said them. Somehow, he wanted to believe that everything would work out just fine.

Not long after, they finally entered the grand castle and headed straight to the large conference room located on the first floor. The inside of the castle didn't look like it suffered intense damage from the war at all. Then again, the repair was probably done well for them to see something amazing and grand like this at the moment.

And yet, Yuri could sense something melancholic about the place. He couldn't quite place it, though.

The leaders, the Beast Knights, and the guests from Shin Makoku all took their seats as soon as they entered the conference room. The table there was circular, so there was no distinction on who among the aristocratic leaders was ruling the others. They knew, however, that Klaus was the leader of the Beast Knights.

"Before we start, I believe a proper introduction is to be done first for the sake of our important guests today who came from Shin Makoku. Especially since His Majesty, the Maoh, and even His Eminence, the Daikenja have graced us with their presence," Klaus started with such friendly but still a firm tone.

The other leaders and the Beast Knights agreed to it. And so the introduction was done this way.

Lord Klaus Elirch Amrein, the current Light Eagle Knight and also the leader of the House of Amrein, was the first to do so. And it was done without leaving a single important detail. Especially the fact that he was the eldest child of the last queen of Esovia and the older brother of the deceased princess and former Wind Tiger Knight, Lyall.
