Chapter 17: Chapter 16- Trip to the Capital
After a not so hard time dealing with the knights, Kazuki and his team plan to continue their trip to the holy capital. On their departure, they were stopped by the paladins.
" Sir! Let us accompany you on your journey to the capital."one of the paladin said in a suggesting tone.
" No need. You need to return to Order. That's an order."(LoL)
" But we can't let our next king go by himself. What if something were to happen to you on the way?"
The paladins sometimes can be very persuasive and arrogant at times.
" I said it's fine. Besides, I have Maggie, Sakura, and Pegasus with me."Kazuki tried his best to come up with reasons but it seems the paladins are still willing to debate.
" We can't trust our king's safety to others. It would break the paladins' honor."
Finally, Kazuki gave up. There was no way he could talk back when they are talking about honor. Even the richest man would break into tears when his honor is ruined.
Kazuki thought, " If they want escorts, 2 paladins would do the job. Besides, I don't want to stand out." He could only imagine walking in the streets of the capital with a whole battalion of paladin behind him. They might think he's there to declare war on them.
" Fine you win. Just give me 2 paladins as an escort. The rest will return to Order and guard it."
" Your will!"All the paladins shouted in unison. For the first time, Kazuki felt like a boss which he enjoyed so much. He could only act bossy in video games in his past life and now, he can command an army of paladins to do his bidding.
Sakura on the side, noticed a creepy mile on Kazuki's face. From the moment she saw that smile, she knew he was up to no good.
" Kazuki! Dare to do anything stupid and your done for."
Sakura's threat sent chills into Kazuki's spine.
" W...w..what do y..y..you mean?"
" Don't give me that! Everything's displayed in your damn face."
Kazuki's plan got exposed. He could only reply " Yes ma'am!"
On the other hand, two paladin cavalries are getting ready to escort Kazuki to the Holy Capital.
" Kazuki! Sakura! Time to go." Maggie was calling out to them. They were so caught up in their argument that they forgot about departure.
(Note: Unlike a normal cavalry, paladin cavalries use silver wolves instead of horses. Silver wolves are the highest type of magical beast a person could tame. They could also use 2nd tier ice spells.)

Crux
The doors to the throne room opened and Magnus entered. When the king saw him, he stood up from his throne and knelt to show respect.
(Note: Unlike kingdoms in real life where the king has dominion over everything, supreme mages are the highest ranking people in the entire society. That rule is absolute except for the Dragon's Republic where they do not have a supreme mage thus, the guardian dragon is the highest ranking monarch.)
" It seem our knights failed Arthur."
" It seems so my lord. Don't worry I'll make sure that they undergo harsher training."
" Don't bother. With the dark territory on our side, we are sure to become the victors."
" Then what brings you here my lord?"
" Send a warning to the Holy Kingdom. Tell them that if they don't initiate surrender, we'll attack tomorrow."
" At once."
