Chapter 288: Important Mission

"So… basically, what you're saying is that someone is impersonating the King of Arturo Kingdom. And you're sure that he's an impersonator, and not the real person, right?"

I asked Albert for confirmation. In my past life, I only remember about the war against the cult. But there's no rumor about a whole kingdom surrendered. Maybe I changed the present, or someone already impersonate that king without anyone noticing?

"Yes. About that…"

"Wait. There's a trouble coming this way."

I stopped Albert from continuing because I can see a horse carriage is coming here. No, it's two carriages. One of the carriages is carrying that person I knocked unconscious with air magic. He's actually coming here to cause trouble? Just what the hell is with the nobles in this kingdom?

"Roy, what's going on?" Albert asked.

"I put someone who wanted to cause trouble this morning in class to sleep, and now he's coming this way with presumably his parents, and another carriage. I don't know anyone in the other carriage.

"What kind of trouble?"

"Just someone who takes fancy on Kayla. He found out that I'm her boyfriend and tried to pick a fight. I put him to sleep before he did anything. Oh, wait. The other carriage has someone among the people he brought this morning. What a pain." I said.

Albert should have the usual reaction of letting me do whatever I want, but this time, he's really angry. I have never seen him like that before. Well, considering that what he's here to say is something related to our neighbor kingdom and might affect even the world, he is obviously angry seeing that the nobles of this kingdom acted like children and do as they please.

Seeing Albert look angry, it's Kayla who speak first.

"I'm sorry. I should have taken care of it myself." Kayla apologized.

"No need to apologize. Even if you try to do anything, this might still happen. We live surrounded by idiots. Albert, do you want to take care of this or you want me to do it myself?" I asked Albert.

"Let them come in. I'll make sure that once they leave this building, they get what they deserve." Albert said imposingly.

Sometimes, I forget about it since we're very close. But he's still a king after all. He's the wise king of Tatrama that I heard about a lot in my previous life.

"Then, Veronica, Celestine, Mustache and I will go bring them in. Let's take everyone including the carriage drivers as well." I said.

"Even the drivers?" Veronica asked.

"Whether they are innocent or not is Albert's decision. Anyway, why are they here? The nobles in this city should be tamed already, so I guess they should be from another city, right?" I asked Albert.

"You might not care, but I have placed a new person in charge of this city. They should be here to greet him. Then their son found out that you're not related to any nobles so he bravely, or idiotically, picked a fight." Albert explained.

"I see. Well, we're off!"

The four of us waited until the carriages stopped in front of the house. Not just the two students this morning, even their father and their bodyguards are looking at Veronica and Celestine. Despite their mother also in the carriages.

That Joe from this morning turned his eyes toward me and smiled evilly.

"I'm here to pay you back for what you did this morning." Joe said.

"I'm here because someone wanted to meet all of you. Bring them all in."

It's easy to fight weaklings. And since I brought only the strongest, except for Mustache whom I brought in case someone among them knows him and stopped being stupid, we easily outmatch them and force them to enter my house. Seems like no one knows about Mustache here.

"Who do you think you are!? Do you know who I am!?" Joe's father shouted.

We also don't care that we force his wife in as well. They have been doing whatever they want, and now they will face repercussion.  I dropped them in front of Albert and let them go.

"Then, do you know who I am?" Albert asked.

"Who the hell are… Your Majesty!?"

"Let me hear your excuses. I might spare you if you tell the truth." Albert said.

Noticing the person in front of them is the king, all of them are scared.

Joe's father just made some excuses saying that he's here to greet the teacher. Which is obviously a lie. That's just makes Albert angrier.

"That's a lie. I have heard the truth from Roy and Kayla when we noticed you're coming. We're in emergency state fighting against the unknown cult, and you're here because your son is being stupid!? Are you really a noble of this kingdom!? You're dismissed from your position. From now on you are no longer nobles of this kingdom." Albert said.

"What!? But… your majesty…" Not just Joe's father. But Joe's lackey's father who is also a noble was affected as well. I think he's just here to kiss Joe's father's ass.

"You can go back to your houses now. I will do the formality later. But know this! If you escape, you will be branded as criminals! If you want to keep a small amount of your wealth, you have to wait patiently until the decree is issued. If you escape, I have ways to track you down. Now, leave!"

They tried to plead, but we kicked them out of the house.

I sprinkled some of Sonia's soil to their bodies and carriages. Sonia can now stay invisible in front of others, so she will be perfect to watch over them. She will report to me or Albert if they tried to do anything. And once everything is over, she can teleport back here along with the soil.

"Roy, my mood is the worst right now so I'll give you your task. You will first go to the west, to Consenza Empire, and meet the Empress. Then go to the north, to Varadis Kingdom, and meet the king. I have told them a little about you, and they also have met Sonia. You can bring Sonia with you as a proof. Just introduce yourself so they know you. When you meet the Empress of Consenza, you must introduce yourself in front of her aide and bodyguard, Claudia. As for the King of Varadis, you need to tell him some medical knowledge. Especially about giving birth to twins with similar situation as Marie before."

Meeting the other king and empress, huh? I know that Albert will ask me to do it someday, but it's too soon. It must be because of the King of Arturo's impersonator.

Well, at least we have a way to go to another country now once I give them Blobbies.

"After that, I want you to see Arturo Kingdom. See if the real king is still alive or not. If he's still alive, give him this letter. He will be able to trust you then. As for your next move, once you meet him, we can discuss things easily either with Sonia as our messenger, or having us meet each other directly with your portals. If he's no longer alive, just return. Your mission is over."

Albert then gives me a letter.

"This… it's a love letter?"

"That's a love letter from King Harold, to Empress Lynn's aide, Claudia. Only us kings and empress know about his affection toward Claudia. That will be the proof that I am the one sending you and you can be trusted." Albert explained.

"Well, now everyone here knows about it though. You already gave the accessories to call Sonia to the other two, right?"

"Yes. I will tell Sonia to inform them of your arrival. Once you can transport them with your portal, we will have the advantage of information with how easy we can share with each other."

"So… my job is to travel the whole continent, huh? That might take a while." I said.

"It's fine. And once your mission is over, I hope that I can purge all the corrupt and evil nobles in this kingdom. Anyway, the reason why I want you to go to the west from the north is just in case someone in Arturo Kingdom notices you coming. They will think that you are from Varadis and not Tatrama. This might endanger old man Henry, but we agreed to do it." Albert said.

"Brother… how's the old man?" Shirley asked.

That Henry must be the King of Varadis and he's close enough to Albert and Shirley for them to call him old man.

"Well, he's fine. He seems lazy as usual, but I think he will continue to live long." Albert said with a smile. His mood seems to be better when he thinks of someone close to him.

"That's good. Then, what about the tournament? After the kingdom-wide tournament, we will hold the tournament between four countries, right?" Shirley asked.

"We will still hold the tournament a few months after our tournament is over. We need a location to be the venue of the tournament. Since we're the one proposing, we can't hold it in this kingdom. And since Arturo Kingdom is dangerous now, it will either be in the Consenza Empire or Varadis Kingdom." Albert explained.

I thought of creating the tournament so people can get motivated to get stronger. But who would have thought that we will face the cult in the tournament? I thought at least some people will sneak in, but not a whole country.

And the mission is just to meet the leader of each country. They will decide the next move after I meet the real King of Arturo, Harold. If he's still alive.

I think this should be easy.
