Aster also evaluated Orson, he had brown hair and brown eyes, he was using a blue coat adorned with some gold decorations, a pair of gray pants and boots and finally a red cape, unlike what one would expect of a king he wasn''t using a crown, maybe because he was asleep until a few moments ago when Ss sent him a message.
Aster nodded before presenting himself along with Alice.
"My name is Aster Drage, and she is my sister Alice Drage, it''s a pleasure".
Orson sat back on the chair and continued the conversation he was having with Ss.
"Uncle, you told me we were in danger of being invaded by the Riga''s, but I have been checking on the border guards regrly like you instructed me and there haven''t been any signs of them for a long time".
Ss sighed.
"Apparently this time they used a honey trap instead of their usual shady maniptions… Robert has sided with them which will exin why the border guards haven''t given the capital any reports regarding all this".
Orson''s eyes widened, on his message Ss didn''t mention anything like this, if his cousin was involved then things were worse than what he thought.
"T-then we must apprehend him, although he doesn''t have the master key to the spirit formations around the border, he has influence over the guards of many cities".
Aster was confused by Orson''s words so he interrupted.
"I though he was the one in charge of the border, howe he doesn''t have control over the spirit formations?".
Ss smiled.
"Because he is the one in charge only in the surface, the guardian of the borders is none other than me, the reason is quite simple I''m one of the only five peak stage star vertex realm cultivators in Luonto, and the only survivor from the generals that participated in the previous war where the former king and the archduke passed away", he exined.
Orson clenched his teeth, his parents and Robert parents fought and died repelling the Riga continent and right now one of their descendants was likely to be a traitor.
"I want to hear what he has to say…".
Ss shook his head.
"Idiot, do you think they came alone, if the woman that is with him is from the Riga continent, considering they are staying in the capital they are for sure inpany of a ck general… in other words a peak star vertex cultivator like me".
"You will stay in the castle where your ass is protected by a ton of spirit formations, instead call the captain of the royal guard and things will be even, I will face whoever old monster that came, the captain will fight against the woman and Sarina will take care of Robert".
Orson nodded but then he noticed that Aster and Alice were not mentioned which did make sense since they were probably at most core array cultivators, but he felt curious as to why his uncle brought them to the castle if that was the case.
"Okay, just a question how are they going to participate, do you want me to assign them a vice captain just in case?", he said while pointing at Aster and Alice.
Sarina answered this time.
"They will help us if it is need it, besides that Kana will be in charge of them, because I''m 100% sure I can trust them".
Orson felt a bit insulted.
"I know right now it might not be the best moment to mention it, but although I''m a Millefiore like him, I would die before betraying thend for which my father bleed, sister in… Sarina".
Orson was going to call Sarina "sister-inw", out of reflect but he felt her gaze piercing him like a spear which made him call her by her name instead.
Ss smiled, "I''m sorry my old friend, this time I won''t impose anything on my daughter", he thought referring to Robert''s father which was the only reason as to why he married her with him.
Orson took out hismunication talisman and send a message to the captain of the royal guards.
"Bring the crown defending squad with you to the pce immediately".
Every kingdom had its elite soldiers, a team which loyalty was absolute, in Riga''s case it was the assassin''s team to which Lynn belonged to, for Luonto, it was an aggrupation of royal guards which were under a sever soul oath, in total they were 100 soldiers in the star axys realm and the captain which was in the early stage of the star tribtion realm.
After a couple of minutes, they left the room and were received by a group of soldiers wearing green armors, when they saw their king, they immediately bowed.
"We greet the king!!!".
While most of them kneeled down, the captain left the formation an approached Orson and Ss.
"The royal guard''s captain, Karl Cuoriole greets the king and the guardian of the border", said the man.<sub> </sub>
Ss smiled.
"It''s been a long time since I saw you kid, but now is not time to catch up, dispatch half of the soldiers around the capital and tell the other half to surround Archduke''s Robert mansion, the enemies are spies from the Riga continent so take that into consideration, until further notice they are allowed to capture or neutralize any suspicious person, noble ormoner understood?".
Karl nodded; the soldiers divided into ten teams of ten people each one leaded by a peak star axys cultivator before they left the pce to fulfill their orders.
Ss patted Orson''s shoulder.
"Stay here and wait for our good news", he said before all of them left the throne room, since they first needed to confirm what was happening the soldiers will remain hidden to give the enemy a false sensation of security.
Before they reached Robert''s mansion Ss patted Kana''s head.
"No matter what happenster, remember your mother and me will always be your family… also you are probably getting new people you can trust", he said while stealing some nces at Aster.
Aster had a serious expression on his face, before they left the space ship Ss asked him to please take Kana and Sarina and leave this ce in case everything went to hell.
The captain of the royal guards took off his armor and put on some casual clothes to not stand out, in the way they saw people living their lives normally without knowing the storm that was about to affect them, unfortunately they couldn''t inform the public about it to not alert the spies.
Ss suddenly stopped walking, a couple of meters away from them there was a big mansion, most of the lights were turned off and there were some guards patrolling to show that no one has noticed them.
"I will go first; Karl and Sarina wait for them to reveal before acting, ok?".
They nodded and Ss disappeared with a sh, a couple of secondster a loud voice echoed through the whole city.
"ROBERT, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE IMMEDIATELY!!!".
A huge amount of spirit pressure fell all over the mansion and some of the defensive spirit formations activated but they started failing not too long after.
Asterughed.
"This old man is quite something", he said.
All the presents with the exception of Kana were able to see that Robert left his mansion almost immediately, his clothes and hair were a mess but he still had that "upright" expression on his face, he floated in the air a couple of meters in front of Ss.
"Senior Ss, why are you causing such amotion thiste in the night?".
Ss shook his head, this time he didn''t scream but his voice still reached all the capital city.
"I can feel one of those poisonous old monsters close to you so stop pretending, and you two pieces of shit from the Riga continente out and have a "nice chat" with this old man".
Robert''s expression finally changed, next to him two figures appeared, one was a ck-haired woman using revealing clothes and the other one was an old man wearing a ck robe which covered his whole body leaving just a part of his face visible.
The woman who was using arge pipe to smoke, took the initiative to speak.
"I wonder how the rumored "Luonto''s sword", suddenly appeared here to interrupt my night fun, when you are supposed to be in your own city?".
He didn''t answer, instead he extended his hand and a strong gust of wind swept away the smoke from the pipe, which made the woman put on a disgusted expression.
Ss showed disdain towards the woman, he directly saw the old man wearing the robe before saying.
"Witch, I was already old when you were born so you can forget about using those little tricks in front of me".
The old man in the robe smiled showing his yellow teeth, his body started letting out some kind of ck mist.
"Lyre, start the operation, I will deal with this muscle head", he said before flying upwards disappearing in the clouds followed by Ss.
The woman took out a talisman but before she could say anything a fire arrow passed a few centimeters away from her body destroying the talisman in the process.
Robert''s face became ugly, he saw the captain of the royal guard flying at them and he wasn''t alone… Sarina was alsoing.
"What the hell happened in Oak Heart city", he thought.
