IDOLIZING CHAOS

Off-site.

Bellows of wind appeared again over the once spotless skies. Far out, several kilometers from the spot of action, People gathered in groups with their hearts all palpitating.

"This is the fourth time the skies have been covered with such gloomy clouds. I'm afraid these all spell of bad omens happening!" One person spoke.

.

"True! Why isn't Earl Krieger here to save us!? My neighbors were all killed brutally on the streets! I don't know whatever happened to our goods at the market." Another, a woman of about 40 concurred.

"sigh* Their attack was obviously foreplanned. Did you see the Energy Crystals they brought? none of it was ordinary. Am telling you, even madam Krieger won't be able to stop them for long. Most residents have already left in a dash, only people with nowhere else to go remained behind." Next, a man with an aide uniform spoke while shaking his head. With him was an 11-year-old girl with ribboned pigtails.

.

"I heard the First Young Master came to resist them too, is this true?" She struggled to say.

"That trash? if he is needed to do something then there's no doubt about it, we're all doomed. Grandmaster Kyle, please forgive your host for not being able to be a proper entertainer for you. With my dear husband away, am afraid we have to leave immediately before we would be caught and used as slaves for those filthy vagabonds." A woman fitted at the most classic part of the open pavilion, adorned with precious metals she had people bring with her spoke out to an old man.

.

"I see, then Second Mistress might be in trouble, I really wonder who plotted such a hidden scheme. Could it be Althanos? or maybe from the Great houses. But why?" The latter part of the man's sentence was spoken in a whisper, but even then his eyes spun with unbelievable light.

No one knew, who the man was, except that the Third Madam called him Grandmaster, and he even had close ties with the Second Madam, obviously he should be some big shot.

If they had heard the last part of his remark their eyes would surely pop out of their heads, for the Name he so utterly spoke with any feeling attached was the name worshiped by every citizen of the Joran Kingdom. The Monarch King Althanos!

.

These people were currently separated into three groups which was either done purposely or unconsciously. The one's with brightly colored robes and seated on the finest spot were the High blood, either from minor Houses affiliated with the Krieger's, or others with their businesses set in the City's premises.

The second set was the mid-class people with straightened clothes and colored hats. Some of these individuals were traders, business gurus, and mercenaries.

Far back was the 'minority. Filled with just random commoners and Civil servants doing some grossed-out work.

"Right, that was true! He came in with a Ranked Flying Beast! can you imagine how costly it was? that made him looked cool!" Someone from the lowest tier got agitated and erroneously had his voice lifted enough to be heard by everyone.

.

"Who dares still speak unruly before this Queen. Come out now. Tell me exactly what you saw before you came here" The Woman with rings hooped around her wrist requested rudely, almost resembling a command.

"Y-yes your lady.

I saw the First Young Noble Master swooping down on his Ranked Flying Beast. His Hair flailing north and south to show his wisdom—"

.

"Get him out of here!" The woman screamed with a hysteria voice. If Aeries was here, no doubt he would crouch his face with disgust at this woman.

Earl Krieger's Third mistress, high lady Helen. Her eyes were always narrowed with suspicion and she never let another person be praised in front of her.

"Who's the next person, come up." She shouted.

The person previously in a dialogue with the first gleaned some info from the woman's behavior and nodded with a flash of brilliance. 'My turn to shine!'

" Your female majesty may reign supreme forever! may your children be delivered with such continuous flow that it would surprise even the gods. Your face be always stroke with fine power tagged with the face of the mermaids themselves, your bodily garment be taken from the finest sheep that have never made any smelly droppings on the g—"

"Stop! are you fawning over me or cursing me? What rubbish don't you dare recite from your filthy mouth?"

The man lowered his head with the same 'what do you want me to say? this is what you should expect from a farmer with no experience in butt smooching' He cried inwardly but his facial expression was that filled with a contagious smile.

"Forget it, Tell me everything you saw, especially about that boy!" she said unforgivably.

"Right. It was true he came with a Flying Demon Beast. and of high grade at that, he even seems to have grown more powerful than the last time we saw him. He waved his hands like this and a weapon obeyed his commands-"

"What! Impossible! what got into my dear husband to waste the family's hard-earned support money to buy such a treasure for a waste! I don't believe it! What next?"

"He had his flaming Axe as huge as 6 men, and every swipe created hurricanes. I saw with my own eyes as he stormed through the crowd of Bandits. Slashing them with that giant weapon." The man surmised.

.

"How could this be? I need to confirm your story myself!

Gauche!"

"Yes? my lady."

"Bravely go forth to the site of the battle, I want the latest news and fast. So hurry up, take 10 of my personal guards with you.!"

"R-right, am off my Lady..." ' female bastard!' Gauche cursed inwardly with tears 'that's sending me to my death!'

Gauche almost had the marbles to shout 'eff your nine generations of the graveyard ancestors' Thankfully his savior came up in time.

"Third Mistress, if I may. I would similarly love to see the so-called 'genius' that had the guts to rope in my daughter, if possible"

The woman, who everyone knew as Third Mistress Katherine, voiced out almost in a hurry "Is that so? Then I too would very much love to see what charm he has."

"Oho? Then what are we waiting for? Let us be out on our way then"

"N-now?" Kathleen had the sound of a woman in a rock and hard place.

'If not for you having such mighty background, would I have to fumble so?' She gritted her teeth.

"Of course, I and my granddaughter are both itching to see how this battle goes... Don't you think so, Sheena?"
