After a scrumptious meal finally everyone settled down to address the main issue they were summoned there for.
Before the King or his Generals could start, one of the guests there spoke up. " Your majesty. We are here to save the capital of Aroura Kingdom and its people from Mountain Trolls. It doesn't matter if you are a relative to an unknown King or you are an unknown King yourself. What matters the most is your capabilities."
An awkward and uneasy silence enveloped the room. Ben and Alan had an identical uplift of their mouth. " Fair enough. There is a sliver of wisdom in your words. Might we know what do we address you by. Sir?" Ben asked calmly.
With a sneer, the middle aged man spoke. " I am the greatest swordsman of Aroura Kingdom. I am also known as The Invincible Sword Emperor." And then the man let out his aura loose.
Instantly, the whole room felt like it was enveloped with a thick icy mist. Making it hard for the queen to breath. Just a couple of seconds later, the Queen felt as if she was pulled out of Icy waters. She looked around and saw Ben smiling warmly at her and in that instance , she knew that he was the one who had helped her out and gave him a slight nod and a sweet smile.
The man didn't even notice that Ben had subtly casted a mana barrier around the Queen. Who was not a mana user. After showing off his capability for a few more second the man exuding the strong aura stopped and looked like a proud peacock. Howerever, Sharon felt this show of strength like a mild breeze infront of the killing intent she felt that day from Alan.
Similarly one more who felt like left out had displayed his so called suffocating aura and announced his extraordinary name. He was known as the God of War.
However the third person smiled and introduced himself. " I am Gwalior. I am just a swordmaster. Not someone who can match these two seniors in their names. But, I can hold my sword well enough in though times and can provide some assistance if required."
For the first time, Alan and Ben felt a warrior worthy of their respect since they entered this Kingdom.
Everyone now turned towards the two young man. "I am Alan and this is my brother Benjamin. We are travellers from Phoenix Kingdom. We were fortunate enought to meet the Princess by chance and will try to provide assistance to the seniors here if the need."
It was a simple but an effective introduction. Making the two egoistic Middleaged men look more reputable than them satisfying their ego.
After a few more rounds of discussion, the Two, "Invincible Sword Emperor" and the "War God" took their leave claiming they need to get their well deserved rest after a long journey.
" Sword Master Gwalior, it's an honor to meet you today." Alan and Ben bowed their heads as Swordmaster Gwalior got up to leave after a few more minutes of discussion with the King and his Generals.
"It's my pleasure to meet such talanted young men. And young man, your shield is impressive. I wonder how much pressure can it withstand." Gwalior asked curiously.
Scratching his head, Ben smiled awkwardly. " It was never been breached Swordmaster Gwalior. Not even by this freek of nature." He gestured at Alan.
"Really !!" There was an amused smile on Gwalior's face. "If time allows let us cross our blades in the training arena tomorrow." He nodded his head at the two brothers. Bowed to the King and Queen and took his leave.
