The love between a humans and Witch Princesses

Chapter 26

Captains' meeting

If only I could skip a meeting, but it would be out of character, I decided to show up. Besides, this meeting could be about what happened.

Everyone's awake including me, but I feel like I missed something. Judging by how Sukehiro is acting, something big happened while I was asleep.

"Hey, Yami-kun~" I called him as cute as possible.

He turns to me. "Huh? What do you want pointy hat?"

He hadn't changed. I thought with a forced irritating smile. 

"Say, what were the events that I missed? You know? When I was still possessed or asleep?"

He shrugged. "Mm, nothing much, I guess..."

"Well, I assumed that Fueguleon's awakening isn't the only one that happened, am I right?"

He sighed as he looked at me. "Well, I guess so." He shrugs as he shines his katana.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, as rumors said-"

Sukehiro was cut off when the Wizard King came.

"A thousand apologies for making everyone wait." He said as cheerful as he can.

"Well, about time! What the hell have you been, old man?!" Sukehiro was about to attack him but someone stopped him.

"I guess, I have been too considerate of you, Yami Sukehiro of the Hino." Someone is breaking his arm. "And the next time I see or hear any of you disrespecting the Wizard, I will break every bones you have." She said.

"Hai!" 

She may sound and look threatening but I know her from the bottom of my heart. 

"Rafaela..." I said quietly. 

The Wizard King chuckled awkwardly. "Sorry about that. As you may know, General Rafaela is a silent type but it seems she's scarier when she speaks." 

"Sit down and get to the point, kid."

I wanted to laugh at the Wizard King, but due to respect, I stopped myself. 

Man, he was cute when he was being shut up. I thought. 

He cleared his throat. "As for what this meeting was all about, I want every magic knight in your squad to have a patrol in any province. According to her," He gestured to the Master. "there were some people there who were affected during the war. Do your best to help them out, and if you have to pretend to be a normal civilian, please do so. Any further questions?"

Nozel raised his hand. "I do."

"Yes, Nozel?"

"Why do my squad members have to pretend to be normal civilians? Doesn't that mean they would disrespect you, as the Wizard King?"

He sighs as he glances at the Master. "I believe she has the information you want to hear." He gestures towards the Master. "Lady Lyzille?"

We all turn to her, and I was hoping she wouldn't say those things I have in mind, right now. I thought. 

"As the Wizard King stated, many provinces were affected during the attack." She shows us an image to visualize everything. "These provinces include the Forsaken Realms and the Common Realms. Many were injured, and a few died. On the other hand, in the Noble Realm, a lot of noble families survived, only a few were injured." She explained.

"I'm confused." 

"Well, what my sister is trying to say is that we don't want the Forsaken and the Common Realms to be forgotten. Meaning, that we don't want them to think that we have forgotten them because they are low and that they don't deserve to be helped." She continued. "Like what the Wizard King said, let us do our best to help them out in any way possible."
