"Well! If it isn't my old friend, Leshy""You're really itching to die today, aren't ya?!?"
Leshy yelled. King Zion, a lion woth a black mane and Glowing turquoise eyes that match his c-shaped Crown, approached Leshy. Despite his appearance, he walks with a cane but due to some "unforeseen Circumstances" he refuses to walk without it. Despite all of that, it sounds like he wishes to cause trouble."Of course, he comes now. Its one of HIS people being prosecuted!"
One of the lawyers said in disgust. King Zion had a bad reputation around the surrounding clans. He's known to pillage and clean out a clan if not strong enough, he has multiple wives, one from each clan that he pillages and he is on the hunt for a 6th one. And he keeps eyeing the women in the Faithful Cult.
"So, I heard you got a new member! Congratulations!"
"Save it! The hell are you doing here?!?"
"My! Is this how you treat an esteemed guest? Im here to make a deal with you"
It became clear that he wasn't here for his men, but needed an excuse to pester Leshy. Thankfully, this wasn't meant to last long as Heket and Fernilla had areived. And the first thing he did was set his sights on the bunny. He pushed out his chest and made himself look as big as possible to intimidate her.
"Well, look at the small fry, doesn't look that tough to take down a Demigod"
"Shut it, Lion! Why are you here?"
"My name is Zion, do you always have amnesia upon seeing me?"
"Why are you here? Answer me!"
She growled. He knows he isn't allowed behind their borders WITHOUT Gaia and Shamura's permission. He is already playing a dangerous game
"Just relax, I wish to speak to you on a once in a lifetime deal, It will be worth your while. It involves our new friend here"
None of them were happy ahout him being ere, but him having his eyes set on their newest member was problematic.
"To finally bind the Icy rift between our kingdoms, I wish to marry Fernilla and make her my 6th wife-"
CRASH!
"KING ZION!"
The man on trial said in fear! King Zion was sent through the wall, leaving a hole in the courtroom. Who unceremoniously sent him though the wall? Why, his old rival who decapitated HIS old master...Gaia
"You really don't know when to leave good alone, huh?"
"Gaia, my old rival! How has it been?"
Just like Fernilla before she became official, his crown wasn't fully white but not black. king Zion never killed a god and only inherited the crown after the death of the original crown user.
"Why aren't you dead?"
"Simple, I cannot die!"
"Funny, Your teacher said the exact same thing and yet he is dead. He did make a great gift to my now Partner so..."
He gritted his teeth but Gaia continued.
"Unless you want my partner to make your other leg disabled permanently, Leave and don't come back. Touch our land again, and we won't be so lenient."
At that time, Retired High Bishop Shamura came with a sole survivor and tossed him infront of Zion.
"Master! It was terrible, they slaughtered our army! They reclaimed the land and- Agh!"
The soldier said as Zion, without a hint ot remorse, cuts him down where he stood. Despite being used to the bloodshed, some flinched. Uncaring about subjects that sacrificed their lives to their God is what makes a Clan weak.
"Don't bring me trash that I have done away with....very well. I will leave but this! This is NOT the end of it!"
He said as he stormed off, leaving the body of the last of his men and the live one there. Shamura shakes their head
"You handled that as best as you could, Leshy. That man is a headache in its own..."
They said to Leshy. Gaia pets Shamura's hand
"He is disabled. His crown is grey, unless he can conquer another God, he will not be a threat until he gains a large enough following to rival ours"
She said. Shamura agreed. A mere pest.
"Well, I could have handled it better..."
Heket said but Leshy elbowed her to let It go.
"It ain't worth it, let It go, sis"
She grumbled, missing a chance to look cool in front of Fernilla
"How DARE he request Fernilla's hand in marriage!?! He had lost his damn mind."
Heket said. Then Leshy realized that the while family is here. To deal with Zion? Unnecessary.
"By the way, what brought you here?"
"Huh, oh! Kallamar ran a test on Noelle and he needs us to go and support her"
Gaia said. Heket and Fernilla were not even aware of this. They just saw her. Leshy springs up! He knows his love has been dealing with aches, pains, and nausea, so he was happy to hear that they found the source of his misery.
"Well! Let's go then!"
He teleported to the Green palace first. With that, leaving The four other Bishops to talk. Sounds like some are making predictions.
"Do you think-"
"Well...We have been...making predictions based off of her symptoms...I called for a head builder to be put in standby just in case."
Shamura said to Fernilla. It seems like everybody else had their assumptions, they just needed their Hypothesis to bear fruit. Literally.
