[I am now the best customer at that internet cafe...so please comment and give me power stones! May this waste of money not be in vain!]
Immediately when Ariel's name left my lips, the atmosphere in the room became tense. The eyes of the king and Prince Gravel were completely fixed on me. Darius, likewise, stared at me, then closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.
Gravel was the first to break the ice, and after coughing awkwardly, he offered me a fake smile without taking his eyes off me.
"Yes... indeed, my sister Princess Ariel has returned to the castle... we couldn't be happier about her return... but may I ask why you are interested in my sister?" he asked, as if trying to assess me.
At this, I couldn't help but smile back and take a sip of the wine they had served me.
"Well, I'm just a little curious. After all, they say Princess Ariel has been studying abroad for about five years, right?" I muttered, looking at him out of the corner of my eye. He narrowed his eyes as he stared at me.
"Haha... indeed, my little sister has been studying abroad all these years, but... how do you know that?" he asked, his tone slightly hostile. He was already realizing what was going on.
"Well, isn't that common knowledge? Besides, it seems the princess knows how to move the masses among the commoners," I said, and immediately my ring lit up slightly, and I smiled slightly.
Gravel didn't understand why I was smiling, so he just looked at me as if I was crazy.
The king remained silent the whole time, just sipping his tea and staring at me, trying to evaluate me without success.
Darius, on the other hand, kept his head down with an "I'm cooked" expression.
He had already realized what was going on, if he could. Guess.
"I see, that's the case then," Gravel muttered to himself and glanced at Darius out of the corner of his eye.
But quickly, a slight commotion could be heard from outside the kitchen.
"Hey! Lower your weapon!"
"Stop right there! You have no right to barge into the Silver Palace!"
"It's the black wolf!"
The guards' shouts from outside startled the king, but I could only smile.
Using my Superd eye, I could sense a total of six presences approaching us from the other side of the door.
Ariel, Luke, Elmore, Derrick, Sylphie, and Ghislaine.
The five walked slowly through the hallways, with Ghislaine slashing at anyone who got in her way with her sword. She hadn't forbidden the use of force; after all, my way to take the throne would be a little more... violent, so to speak.
"W-what? The black wolf?!... Ghislaine Dedoldia?!" Gravel exclaimed in complete shock, but I shook my head slightly.
"It's actually Ghislaine Greyrath," I said mockingly.
Immediately, Gravel fixed his gaze on me, and it only took him five seconds to figure out what I meant.
"You... you're allied with my sister?!" He yelled as he backed away from me. "And take over the Boreas faction?!"
"Uh, it was just my father-in-law's whim. I have a bigger prize in mind," I said, then stared at the king.
The man immediately shuddered, then his eyes widened.
"Y-you?...You?" The king exclaimed, completely frightened, before the door was smashed to pieces.
*krooom!*
The door shattered in a second due to a sonic boom from Sylphie, revealing the six people behind it.
"W-what?!...Guards! Arrest them!" The king yelled in panic at the sight of Ariel and his entourage behind Ghislaine.
With this, there was no doubt about what they wanted to do, but to my surprise, Darius watched everything with an impassive expression, almost as if he had already accepted this.
"What the hell are you waiting for? Attack them, arrest them! Kill them if necessary!" the guard shouted when he saw that his guards didn't dare attack Ghislaine. It seemed they had realized who she was.
And again, seeing this, the king paled completely, jumped up from his chair, and fell to the floor, almost crawling.
"Darius, do something!" he shouted, looking at the fat minister who had simply retreated to a corner.
But immediately, a presence made me stand on guard.
It moved at great speed across the palace roofs and arrived here quickly.
*krooom!!*
With a deafening crash, one of the enormous chandeliers fell right on top of the table, and on top of it was Reida, staring at Ariel, not with good intentions.
Ghislaine, seeing this, immediately tensed, but I, for one, wasn't worried.
Ghislaine is much stronger than she'd ever been. Reida, for her part, was already at the end of her tether. I could say she's at the peak of emperor level, but nowhere near god level.
The fight was already decided, so it was my time to stand up and get in Reida's way.
She frowned as she looked me up and down. A large drop of sweat fell from her forehead, and she clicked her tongue in annoyance.
"So you're with the princess? What a shame, someone so young... Kid, I'll tell you something, don't get in the way and I'll let you live. You still have Darius's support for some reason, so I'm giving you this chance," she murmured as she slowly drew her sword without taking her gaze off Ariel.
"So be smart and appreciate your life," she continued, jumping off the table. But when she saw that I wasn't moving, she simply sighed and pointed her sword at me.
"Well... I wasn't planning on killing innocents, but you're leaving me no choice, hmm!" With these words, Reida lunged at me at an impressive speed for her age, aiming directly for my neck.
"How ruthless!" I couldn't help but think in my mind.
But unfortunately for Reida, I could see her movement as if it were in slow motion.
I didn't even have a sword with me; I didn't need one after all. Simply relying on my dragon aura, Reida's sword bounced off my hand and was deflected with extreme ease.
Reida's eyes widened, completely stupefied by what she had just witnessed.
"Tch... I see," was all she said before shifting her stance.
"Apparently this kid is just like him... I see why Darius was so afraid of him," she muttered in her mind before lunging at me again, but this time it was different.
As if it were an illusion, Reida's image split into ten identical copies, each attacking me in unison at a speed impossible for the normal human eye to follow.
But I was anything but normal.
To counter her technique, I simply activated my mana eye and immediately saw the real Reida. Once again, her sword was repelled by my bare hands.
A blow to the neck was repelled, a blow to the shoulder was repelled, a blow to the hip was repelled, a blow to the throat was repelled.
One by one, Reida's attacks were repelled by me, while desperation grew in the old woman's heart.
In less than five seconds, she realized she was no match for me, so she took a huge leap and moved about ten meters away from me.
"Haaaa...haaaa...haaaa..." she panted heavily, half-kneeling on the floor and sweating profusely.
She had been completely exhausted by this simple blow, which only made me feel sorry for her.
But immediately, an idea invaded my mind like the devil whispering in my ear.
I appeared in front of her in a split second.
She couldn't even react until I appeared in front of her.
I could see her expression go completely pale before she laughed bitterly, looking down at the ground.
"Haha... I see, so you were just messing with me, weren't you?" she muttered.
The girls in Ariel's group all looked at me with lustful gazes, while Gravel, Darius, and the king stared at me as if I were the devil himself.
Although, well, that wasn't so far from reality.
After all, it's not every day you see your best soldier defeated in less than ten seconds.
"Come on, what are you waiting for? This old woman has lived long enough," Reida said suddenly, not daring to look up from the ground.
"Nah, I have the best one to do," I said, immediately looking at the system,
specifically the Skills section.

specifically take the rejuvenation ability and focus it entirely on Reida.
I opened my eyes wide in complete surprise. The mana cost was immense, much more than using Rinne Tensei, but I still continued.
If my memory serves me correctly, Reida is currently 67 years old...
To get Reida to her prime, I'd have to leave her at least when she was about eighteen, but I quickly realized the mana drain.
For every year I made Reida rejuvenate, it cost me one percent of my mana.
So to rejuvenate her completely, I'd have to spend almost 50% of all my mana.
But that didn't matter to me, and I did it anyway.
"W-what the fuck?" Darius exclaimed in complete shock at what he was witnessing.
Quickly, the older Reida began to rejuvenate in every possible way, even the way she stood, the shape of her face, her hair, and most importantly, her tits...
Everything became younger as she stared at me.
"Haaaa..." I let out a sigh as I finished applying my mana to it.
Reida froze, feeling the new vitality in her body. She clenched the sword in her hands and, without asking anything, lunged at me at terrifying speed.
She had regained the strength she had lost over the years and was now a true combat beast.
But that didn't make much of a difference.
She was about twenty times faster and stronger than before, but she was still completely defenseless after about ten seconds.
"Haaa...haaaa...haaa...not even like that..." she muttered to herself.
She looked at her face in the reflection of her sword and couldn't help but laugh again, this time without knowing what to do.
This entire exchange hadn't lasted even a minute.
Reida had been defeated by me twice in less than twenty seconds, and Darius and Gravel's hope had been completely annihilated.
"Now you can't make excuses now that I've defeated you, right?" I asked her and she just looked at the floor again, falling to her knees.
"Heh, so you want to be the new King of Asura, right?" She asked and I nodded.
"What?!!!" The king shouted with visible anger staring at me. "Who do you think you are, Rudeus Boreas Greyrat? Who gave you the right to break into my castle to seize power?!" His eyes were red with anger and his chest was rising and falling heavily.
Gravel at his side just stared at me with his face completely pale.
He had already realized that resistance was futile, but to my surprise Darius had already fled upon seeing the confusion.
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly and with a signal to Sylphie she went after the fat Darius.
"No, I will not be King or well yes, but I will be the wife of Queen Ariel Anemoy Asura" I told the king.
He immediately clenched his fists in anger, staring at me.
Then his gaze fell on Ariel who looked at him with an impassive smile and this infuriated the king even more.
"Ariel! You spoiled bastard! Do you think you can take the throne just like that? Who gives you the right?!"
"that would be me!"
A thick voice echoed through the halls and a white-haired man in beautiful white armor emerged from the halls.
The king and Gravel were completely shocked to see this person.
He didn't need an introduction after all.
Behind him, eleven spirits of Light walked in a row making him look even more imposing.
"L-Lord Perugius!" The king screamed, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Yes, that's me, the next Queen of Ariel has to be none other than Ariel Anemoy Asura!" The words of my bootlickers...I mean Perugius, resonated throughout the room.
The king turned completely pale, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"B-but Lord Perugius! Why? Why ally with the enemy? They clearly want to destroy Asura!" Gravel shouted in hopes of changing Perugius's mind, but he simply shook his head.
"You can't tell me anything! Clearly, Ariel is the most suitable to rule than you two together! Besides, she not only has my support, but also that of Rudeus the Dragon God himself!" Perugius exclaimed as he stared at me.
By this point Gravel and the king were in critical condition not knowing what to do.
"Haaa!! Put me down! Let me go you damn shitty elf!!!" Darius's screams continued until Sylphie returned to the room with Darius behind her.
Although I realized that she was using gravity magic to transport him since she didn't want to touch him at all.
Yet Darius's cries were ignored by Gravel and the king who looked at Perugius with resentment and anger.
"Come on, your majesty, brother, accept reality, you have lost," Ariel said with a flirtatious smile and Gravel looked like he was going to vomit blood from anger like the Chinese villains.
"You damn brat you-!"
"Haaa...we're not getting anywhere with this," I said out loud, looking at everyone around me.
"hmmp!" I reached my hands up to the sky and the roof above us was completely pulverized leaving the sky visible.
I focused the mana in my eyes and they quickly changed from their usual green to a dark purple with circular black lines.
"What are you trying to do, bastard!" Gravel roared, but I didn't pay attention.
"hmmp!" I clasped my hands together as if praying and focused the rest of my mana on the sky.
Immediately an immense shadow covered the entire city and its surroundings.
In the city, people were completely petrified, some fainted, and others tried to escape this imminent death.
"W-what is this?!" Darius screamed at the top of his lungs as he looked at what was creating the huge shadow in the sky.
Out of nowhere a mega meteorite had appeared in the sky without warning!!.
