[Throne Room]

The tension inside the throne room is quite high as two surge of energies collide with each other, both countering the other

All of the nobles including the soldiers, the king, and the princess were flabbergasted as prince Johannes released such intense aura

All of them didn't think that prince Johannes has so much potential that he reached such high standards, most of them were proud for the prince that will soon to be a king will be such a strong person

But such aura was easily matched by an another intense aura that might surpass the prince aura by a huge margin at any moment

The worse is that this terrifying aura came from the person that the nobles discarded as shameless commoner

The king and the princess including the general was much more surprised that such talented individual is actually living in their country in which no one ever noticed it

While the king maybe surprised, the princess however was astonished as she saw such a person who dares to confront a royalty, not only does he have such arrogance but also he has the power to back it up

For the General he has never seen such a monstrous aura before and thought if somehow this person is in their army then they would have an easier time

Standing infront of Kaido the prince looked down on Kaido while clenching his sword as seems to strike at any moment

Seeing the prince agitation Kaido just gave a smirk as he blows away his aura and the prince aura with a single flick of his finger

Seeing his aura dispersed just like that the prince became fully aware that Kaido is not that simple as he thinks, I respect for the king he returned to his seat and observed Kaido while for the latter he returned to Reinbach's side and folded his arms as he listened to the meeting

"Ahem! Um! Let's start the discussions shall we?" Said the king

Immediately General Stone stepped forward to convey his observation

"The border of our kingdom in the east saw an army of demons approaching the kingdom ignoring the other villages near it! Which is quite suspicious!" Said General Stone

With this the nobles started to talked to each other as they heard the news after all the movements of the enemy is quite strange

"We believe that this army is not the main army of the enemy! It's more like a group of 5 platoons which consisted of 500 each which amounts to 2500 demons roaming about" added General Stone

"2500 demons? That is still many considering how powerful they've become after all these years of seclusion" said one of the nobles

"They may not be the main army but still they are a dangerous group" said the other noble

Hearing the number of demons the nobles finally understood why the demons charging shouldn't be neglected

"That's why I proposed that the nobles should work together to fight this enemy rather than call for help in other countries cause if we did we would only become a laughingstock" said the prince

"You are all gathered here because of the sole purpose of confronting the demon army in the east" said the king

"Does any of you have any complaints or whatsoever?" Asks General Stone

After a few moments of silence one of the nobles raised his hand so General Stone has to comply and directed his gaze at the noble

"This will be an important degree of operation of the kingdom so are you all sure that we can let a commoner hear this?" Said one of the noble

Hearing this all the nobles looked at this certain noble and thought "is this guy crazy? Didn't he feel that insurmountable power from that commoner?"

While for the others who are close to him they clearly understands why this noble is still ignorant cause after all he is not exposed to magic since he was little so it will be given that he does not recognize any insurmountable power from anyone

So to reply to him General Stone said

"Discrimination is out of the question! As long as he lives in this country he will be a citizen of this kingdom! Or do you wanna hogged all the hardships of a commoner? Us nobles will be assigned to guide the army but the commoners will be the ones fighting! Do you want to switch places with them and say who has contributed and sacrificed more?" Taunted General Stone

With the General Stone words the noble shut his mouth as he gritted his teeth, as for Kaido himself he took a glance of General Stone and smirk as if he saw someone interesting

"All right since there's no more complaints let's start the discussions of our strategy" said the king

***********
[2 Hours Later]

After two hours of discussions between nobles, all nobles one by one started to leave the throne room

As such princess Ingrid herself signaled General Stone and whispered

"Can you find out what that's commoners background is?" Asks princess Ingrid

"I'll do what I can!" Replied General Stone

[Outside the Castle]

As Reinbach and Kaido meets up.with the group they immediately headed for a luxurious inn in the capital

As Reinbach approached Kaido he said

"Kaido-dono! We should do you a suite for the party this evening!" Said Reinbach

"Party? You guys sure are a laid back people!" Said Kaido

"Hahaha! The party is for deepening our connections to the other nobles and gain trust and loyalty kaido-dono and since you volunteered to be my guard.then you should join the party!" Said Reinbach

"Are you serious?" Asks Kaido

As he said that Kaido glanced at the group but it looks like everyone have they're own reasons to reject him

"You can do it Kaido-sama!" Said Melfina

"Sorry Kaido-sama I'm not proficient to those kind of events" said Okou

"Don't look at me! You can do this!" Said Rebecca

"I'll prepare your beautification kaido-sama" said Zia

"Papa! If your not confident then Sui can go with you!" Said Sui

Hearing Sui's consideration Kaido shakes his head as he patted Sui's head and said

"This is adult matter! Don't worry I'm not afraid of anything so it's obvious I'm not afraid of any party" said Kaido

As he said that Kaido stood up and said to Reinbach

"Alright! Let's go to this party of yours in style!" Grinned kaido
