IDOLIZING CHAOS

Kono Bah Bah.... Mariah

You!... Do I look deaf? Or maybe dumb that I can't reply? Why do you think I'll be stationed here if that's the case... Eh? You Stinky wretch!" This loud sentence immediately attracted bystanders Who rushed happily at every chance to watch a good show.

"Oi bah bah [1]... Respect is reciprocal... Or so the elders say. I never for once mentioned the way your creator made you! Why can't you be normal and not raise someone's skirt [2] "

[1: Means granny or old woman]

[2: Idiom? Means not to poke nose, or basically mouth what the differences in others]

"What....... nonsense are you blabbering! So you want to see the boss eh? Do you think it's any random person that shows up here that Imperial Hall should know too? Don't get ahead of yourself! " The old woman, Mariah, responded with scorn.

' What wayward child! Can't even greet an elderly lady like me yet talking about respect. Uncultured kid'

"Sigh... Isn't it a rule laid by the Imperial House that a customer must not be driven or go unattended by any means necessary? Or are you saying you are bigger than the Emperor?" Aeries looked back at her and spoke.

The once-busy hall was immediately silenced... Forget little query, to anyone's ears, was like a strong slap to the Emperor's face... This case was literally a commoner trying to debunk the Emperor's verdict...... What could be worse... Even done openly!

"I... I never said anything as such. Please, everyone... I swear! Right Elsie you were near me, did I say anything? Elsie?"

Immediately a wide gap was made with her in the center. Which Fish would willingly swim out of the sea to land, which man wouldn't cherish his life, obviously you put yourself in this position, and you then want to beg me to testify against the Emperor... Go die!!

The sudden scorn and reproach of all her friends and colleagues left her in deep regret and fright. Causing them to immediately kneel and kow tow, singing praises for the faraway emperor while professing her deep loyalty... With words like

'This lowly servant bows towards you, the towering peak of all humans.... and This minuscule ant look up in trepidation and fear. '

"Ahem! Do you know what would be better? You getting the boss for me, it shows that you're attending to the customer... Me, and if anything happens I'll also stand as a witness. So... " Aeries immediately followed up and stopped her from spurting words that'll bring god-angered calamity unto her and the unknowing Emperor... 'What peak of all humans!!? Just another pipe full of dump!'

"Right! Thank you, good Young Master.. I'll immediately call The Man in charge of receiving Orders now, please sit and wait for 5 minutes. " Saying that she sped off to most definitely fetch the person in charge. Restoring the busty and noisy atmosphere almost immediately.

' He he he, This game of thrones is more intense than I thought... The hidden master-mind has already bribed his way pit-deep inside the Imperial Trade Hall, a place said to be impregnable and transparent... He's already swallowed most of the commoners and Joran Kingdom Soldiers working here... Ke ke ke. This man is good, it only remains the Empire's men and the hidden powerhouses. Although everyone would think it's impossible... Maybe only two of us know that nothing can't be bought... It's just if you're ready to pay the price... "

To any bystander watching the act of old lady vs Aeries 10/10 would see him as an obvious tyrant harassing old and young, male or female... A scourge to the earth. Only a few keen people would notice one or two flaws...

The first and most important is his status. With his background as the heir of the Krieger Family and his status as the number one slick pants, his name traveled throughout the whole Kingdom as a wayward and good-for-nothing kid... It's not a stretch to say every citizen who knows his stand has already heard and seen pictures of yours truly.

Another and most obvious reason was the Golden token representing the highest order a Family can reach in this Kingdom... In the eyes of the Imperial house. His jxkdioond should be unstoppable, even needing maids to serve at his feet, yet this 45-year-old pretended as if she never saw anything and wanted to harass him.

Next, even at that, the way she reacted was obviously like a jealous wife getting ready to put more pepper in her husband's food... He just said one or two sentences and she's already bringing up mathematical clauses and physics verbs...

Finally, the note was the rule set up by the empire house itself, something that a receptionist paid for this long should know.

It was just a pity she hadn't made any preparations of whether this Slick Pants would know the rules or not. She probably had been 100% certain he was a dumb asshole he was handsome.

"Aliya, if a kingdom is a kitchen then the Capital is most definitely a frying pan on the fire... Filled with slithering dragons and crunching tigers... Where brothers scheme and friends stab you from the back...

What an interesting Stage! "

........................... ...................... .....................

Inside a meeting room,

Aeries was deep in thought when the quiet lonely and isolated room was disturbed as the door opened, revealing Three people, Two men, and an aged woman... Unquestionably Mariah.

"It seems Young Aeries is truly doing well, Great men come out from Great homes like the entrance to the den of a lion tells us about the lion itself. And The Kriegars were truly lions amongst others, Filled with bones of enemies. Sigh! Truly a pity for such House to fall. If a man can be jealous then gods even more."

The first man and probably the head of the reception hall said wearily. He was a tall and slick Scholarly looking man with good looks coupled with tied pure milk hair. He walked forward with confidence and a faint smile of disdain on his still-smiling face... Beside him was the second man, a young man of about 23 with snarky Black hair and a straight nose, this one didn't even bother hiding his Scorn for 'Toads' snorted with each remark the first Man said.

"Sigh. Truly the Misfortune of my house, Because of the power struggle we're now refused beggars and housemaids, scorned by both gods and men. But I firmly believe it'll be just for the passing... What may I call this Sir? " Aeries said this while performing the proper textbook courtesy by bowing slightly like a deep nod with his legs straight... This was another privilege noble houses enjoyed. Never bow to anyone apart from the Emperor...

"Forgive me for not Introducing myself, what a ballast mistake on my part, My name is Krush. From the 8th Great house. House Neptune."

If main houses with titles and Dukedom in kingdoms were just called Houses alone, imagine the ones of the Empire Dubbed 'Great houses'

This Krush before him looked at age 35 but as harmless as a paper, yet Aeries felt an internal tension he had never felt before, Even when facing someone as strong as his father!

'One of the Imperial Powerhouses!'

"What pleasure Noble Krush. It's truly an honor to meet one of the 10 greats"

"Right? You better kneel now and beg for forgiveness... I've explained everything that happened to master Krush here, You even made me kneel and prove my Liegance to the Emperor when it was you being at fault!" The fearless Mariah shouted angrily from the back. '

Since Sir Sirloin Krush doesn't want to directly bring this up to not hurt this Young Slick Pants ego, I'll say it myself, then. Sir Krush would now help me seek vengeance after I do, if not it'll hurt his pride as someone from the Empire! '

Thinking till here she moved bravely towards Aeries and crossed her arms on her chest, leaving Aeries the more confused

All this while he had been silently watching the reaction of the Noble Krush, First his eyes showed anger and clear contempt when she spoke before going back to normal with even a hint of playfulness."

'Shit... They're all the same. Waiting to watch a good show. No one is straightforward on the capital or this world entirely!.' Seeing that nobody said anything even when old Mariah spurted out a series of nonsense,... What liegance. Not a word! And a Liege is the arm of the Emperor. Someone to always do his bidding. What has a commoner in the lowest-tier kingdom have to do with the Emperor

" Can you please leave and let me and Noble Sirloin Krush speak in private?.." Aeries questioned.

"What nonsense Young Master, basically a twerp without any upbringing... Krieger's are nothing much"

Aeries immediately crunched up his brow when he heard that because it didn't come from the woman, but instead from the 23-Year-old boyish man, who looked even angrier than Old Mariah.

'This... Could something be going on between these two? Why is one angrier than the person with the situation instead?'

"You are? You know it's not polite to talk spit at another 's ancestors without proclaiming your backing right?"

"How dare you!.. Do you dare talk rubbish against me? Let me show you the backing I have to talk trash to your a... Ancestors."

With that, Sudden pressure bore down on Aeries, and a sense of crisis that had always been in his mind manifested.
