"Fulfilling the king's demand? I guess..."
Klaus acted absolutely clueless like some kid caught doing a wild act as he said those words with soft tone in his voice with complete 180° of his ice cold frosty personality that can freeze fire itself just a moment ago
"What kind of bullshit-!?"
"Ah... It's his blood angel phase I see"
"He is still going through puberty?"
The fairies just commented without any flinch while including Sol, all the beings who watched the scene and heard Klaus were left completely stunned and petrified over their spots and next moment Sol immediately rushed towards Klaus while shouting
"What kind of answer is that!? Why are you pounding the King like some sort of hooligan like this!? Please make distance!"
Klaus heard her and with disappointment stood up and left Leonidas alone while releasing a deep sigh and as he observed Sol again an amused smile flashed on his face
Sol seemed to be looking in complete panic with her facial expressions and seemed to be wearing white shirt to match her style, leather jeans that tightly grabbed her legs making it easier to make swift and faster movements and leather boots along with a long slim sword tied to her belt
'A sword huh, I had almost forgotten after spending so many years in the wild, in the novel despite coming from Walpurgis family, the family known in world for producing the top grade mages and negotiators for rulers
Sol Walpurgis was a bit of a unique character on her own, she couldn't use magic as others, at best the talent for magic was just average but on other hand she was top class talent for path of swords hence she persuaded that path
Although she is stuck at Tier 6 right now, she is still a top talent that can carry her own weight to reach even Tier 9 given her enough time and opportunity for it...'
Klaus smirked thinking all about his own fiance as Sol herself was continuously scolding him which was straight up getting completely ignored by Klaus without any second thought
"How can you act so irresponsible like this Duke! How do you plan to compensate for all damages that have fallen in here!? The condition of King Leonidas is really serious! What if they decide to declare war over the Empire for your actions!?"
Sol kept shouting over Klaus, she was straight up trying to scold himself in a very severe tone and with big words herself so that no other beastman will say any words to him in here right now or else the matter will be changed from damage to King to assault over the King and will stretch pretty far
"Sigh... I was only doing what King Leonidas has demanded and agreed upon, a man doesn't back off on his words so I don't think he will be planning any war against us, I apologise for informal acts of my future wife your majesty"
Klaus sighed as King Leonidas was seen slowly sitting back again on ground and returning to his human form after being healed up again by elixirs and Klaus's healing but he was flinching as his gaze met with Klaus's again
"Ha-hahaha! Indeed... It's as the Duke Brahm said, I demanded for this duel..."
He was clearly in low spirits and was still groaning a little because of sort of tension in his brain as unconsciously the memories of a few moments ago flashed through his mind
"He's pretty fucked up in mind..."
"Hella scared isn't he?"
"Wow, Klaus's evil points have increased~"
The fairies seen having with their commentaries as always while Sol watching the reaction seemed even more concerned for future ahead and gave one deep thunderous gaze over to Klaus, her red face was filled with rage marks as she did that changed her face towards the King Leonidas again
"Then as per our terms we will be having that upper hand over trade negotiations inside, we demand reduction over tax by 5% and exemption of government approved for local small adjustments that don't breach the laws and any sort of your national governance or judiciary"
Klaus demanded as he once again equipped that robe over his back again and with a smile stared at King Leonidas who was being supported by Prince Sinha to stand again with his subordinates circling around him
"Hey! This isn't the time fo-"
"The Beast Kingdom agrees to your demands"
Sol tried to interrupt Klaus's statement but King Leonidas accepted the terms without any second thoughts and sat back over his throne with a big smirk on his face
"It was a nice duel Duke, you did well helping me confirm my potential to grow my skills even further"
As King Leonidas said the words despite the pain the tone of dignity and charisma as a king was extremely clear in each shred and fiber of his existence
'Your majesty...'
'Father...'
'This is the King the beastmen admire'
'As expected... He is just built differently!!!'
The beings present over the hall were left stunned and charmed by such level of pride and charismatic presence as a king that Leonidas held at that exact moment, a normal person would still be crying in pain while holding on to his own body
But Leonidas didn't show even any sign of being hurt just a moment ago and instead showed an absolute calmness and that neutral royal dignity while acknowledging his words not being blinded in arrogance and respecting others too
"The Golden Turtle Organisation is grateful for those assuring words, we will send someone for documents later, then let's meet again as the next chapter unfolds..."
Klaus flipped his robe again with little smile at corners of his face and left followed by all others leaving the hall in state of absolute silence

"The Golden Turtle Organisation is grateful for those assuring words, we will send someone for documents later, then let's meet again as the next chapter unfolds..."
Klaus flipped his robe again with little smile at corners of his face and left followed by all others leaving the whole hall in state of absolute silence
"He is indeed an opponent beyond our capabilities and hold, let's try not to make such enemies in future..."
As Klaus left the place Leonidas finally said those words with a deep light of profoundness in his gaze as he touched and observed the permanent mark of injury left over the corners of his left eyes because of Klaus's fists
But as those words landed over ears of his subordinates there eyes completely widened in shock as the new realisation flashed in there faces
"Your majesty!?"
"You mean! You provoking the fight was just to check the strength of the current Hero!?"
"To think you will pull off such a move so that we can observe everything firsthand ourselves and not underestimate him!?"
"Such wisdom and skills... As expected it can only be a King who is willing to go so far, for his people!!!"
Leonidas heard the praises and scoffed as he muttered with a lost look in his eyes
"What's the use of all wisdom when you are trying to face that level of strength, you will forget all strategies and skills the moment that fist touches you..."
As Leonidas said the words the once again turned awkwardly silent with a sense of heaviness in room but just then Leonidas commented lightning up the mood again
"But it's a relief that it's the 'Saint' who wields that fist, it won't be turning against us anytime in future as long as we don't side with evil hahaha! A great relief that we have such a strong man defending us against evils
Dismiss for the day today! I need some rest!"
As Leonidas said that the place became considerably normal and light again as everyone except for Prince Sinha left the hall with smiles and look of little worry for their King
"Then rest well your majesty"
As last person left the room the doors of hall finally closed leaving the King Leonidas and Prince Sinha again in the room, the King Leonidas stayed calm and cool for next five seconds and suddenly just erupted like some balloon as he started grabbing his body and head feeling a deep sensation of pain throughout his body
"Fuck! Fuck! Fucccckkkkk!!! That was a horrifying experience!!! I don't want it again! What the heck is wrong with that human!? He clearly wanted me dead!!! He really doesn't give a single shit about the face or life of the Kingdom's ruler like me?!! If that woman hadn't arrived today! Tomorrow might have been my funeral!!!
Fuck! Fucccckkkkk!!! What kind of crazy drugs had I taken to pick a fight with him despite all my instincts fighting against such!!! Fucccckkkkk!!! How can someone so cruel be a Saint!? A Hero!? He is more evil than the devil itself!!! What kind of balance in the world is this! This is so traumatic!!!!"
King Leonidas had absolutely lost himself to a series of exploding emotions and couldn't help but to keep shouting and complaining over ground with some sort of signs of madness over his eyes
After living a life king with strength to rival or even overpower most beings, it was a real earth shaking realisation is reality to witness a young man less than half his age that can come and kill him anytime and he won't be able to even mutter a word or grieve in pain
This was peak level shame for traumatic experience for a warrior and ruler and shook Leonidas to his very cores and implanted itself as deepest traumatic memory for him
Meanwhile Sinha watching sudden change of behaviour of Leonidas was left absolutely shocked and surprised and with blank eyes and confusion he questioned with a lot uncertainties in his eyes
"Father... Was Duke really that-"
"He's not a human!!! Anything but a human!!! He is the one who has transcended the realm of peaks!!! Tier 9? Heh! He has far surpassed something like that! He is beyond this world! Beyond the time! Beyond the existence! One can escape a murder, escape massacre, escape a death itself but
Nobody can escape that man's wrath..."
Sinha took a huge gulp as he heard about Klaus from King himself in such a crazed state, he had been just hanging out with him just a moment ago and now he was listening to his father realising just what kind of galaxy destroy being he had been playing around with just a moment ago, laughing and sharing joy of duel with him
"The world is indeed huge..."
Sinha muttered that as an image of Klaus flashed in his consciousness meanwhile the centre of all the attention and craze himself was seen moving through carriage with Sol and fairies inside
"So, may I ask why you are here, Sol?"
