In Estian Kingdom, on the chamber of the throne, the king just arrived there after he came from the library. Albert Althezar, leader of the Jimorians and Okjun Althezar brother of Albert which is also a Jimorian, are waiting for the king to come back.
"Right on time, Albert and Okjun come with me" the king saw Albert and Okjun on the chamber, he then immediately ordered the two to come with him, together with the other Jimorians who are escorting the king.
"We are looking for you my king" Albert said as they followed the king. They are now heading to the meeting hall. Where the Chief of the Armory Division and the Chief of the Tactics Division are there and having some conversation.
Chief Jericho and Chief Jeffrey are talking about the preparations for the war. Chief Jeffrey is a mid-tall man with a rectangular beard shape. He is a middle buff build man with a brown short hair.
*Doors opened*
"So Zern is already here?" Albert said as he is having a conversation with the king while they are walking towards the meeting hall.
"Yes, and we will talk about the mission of the Supreme Knight" the king replied.
The two chiefs turned their heads towards the door as the king comes in. both of them salute.
"My King!" both of the chiefs said this.
"At ease, all of you have a seat" the king said as the members of the Jimorians and the Chiefs have their seats.
"The Supreme Knight and the Bastions failed to capture any of the bandits" the king said as the individuals who are present in the room got surprised.
"Impossible, how could they can't deal with those criminals?" Okjun said this angrily.
"I can't believe this" Albert said.
"Even I at first can't believed on what happened"
"Where are they? this is a disgrace, How could they fail a simple mission. Those brats, I guess I was too soft when I trained them" Albert said as he is very upset and angry about the outcome of the mission. He is about to stand up when the king said;
"No, cool your self and listen, stay on your seat" the king said this. Albert then just stayed on his seat.
"Before you go and scolded them, listen first"
"They are now on the Astenbar, two of the Bastions where severely injured and one almost died" as the king said this words the people present in the room was very shocked.
"What?" Albert said.
"You heard it right. I can see how much angry Zern is, because of the lack of information they received when going on this mission"
"They didn't encounter the one who we told, instead they encountered a foe, which even us, all of us here, never encountered before"
"What do you mean my king?" Albert asked.
"They encountered a Celestial, and it is not the old man we told them. She is a Woman who wields the unknown Celestial Weapon" the king said this.
"What?" Albert and Okjun can't believed on what they are hearing.
"So it means that there are two Celestials on their side?" Chief Jericho asked.
"Yes" the king answered.
"How could this be?" Albert said.
"That old bastard criminal! How could he managed to have a subordinate that strong?" Okjun asked with confusion.
"My King..." Albert said, but before he could finish his sentence the king speak up;
"Albert, I want you to lead an Order, and I want you to capture those criminals"
"That is what I wanted to say" Albert smirked as he answers the king.
"I will come with you brother" Okjun said this to his brother Albert.
"It is time for me to take what he took away from me" Okjun with an angry facial expression said this.
"When will it be my king?" Albert asked.
"We are going to make a proper plan and prepare about it, and at the same time I want to make a move against the Maslih too" the king replied.
"We already have enough men ready for any orders my king" Chief Jeffrey said.
"Perfect, but for now we need to cool the things down first, Bandits are on a high alert now if I am not mistaken" the kind replied to Chief Jeffrey.
"Yes that is right, because they already know that we are hunting them down" Albert said this and continue to speak.
"The king is right, we need to plan it properly and prepare for it. And attack them on the least expected moment, where they will be caught off guard"
"And at the same time we will already make our move to slowly penetrate the territories of the Maslih"
"That is right Albert" The king then said.
"After this I'll be going to Astenbar, to see the Bastions, I need to talk to them. I guess they still got some information about the Celestial they encountered that we need to know" Albert then said.
The people present on the meeting hall continue to have their conversation.
On the same castle, in the Estian Kingdom.
"What!? are you serious Zern?"
"Yes, even me I got surprised too, when I faced her"
"Whooooah!? How does she look like? is she really that strong?"
"As what I have said earlier, she managed to took down John, Andrew and Chad by her self"
"Wooooah!! That is cool!"
"Cool? you are really a stupid prince, how could you said it when three of your men got beaten"
"Hahaha! I am just joking, you are always serious, Supreme Knight!"
"Don't mock me brat prince"
"Hahaha! Did I already get in to your nerves?
"Nope, I am already used to it"
"Hahaha!"
"We are here, finally you can already shut your mouth"
"So rude Supreme Knight, so rude* mockingly Vinz said.
"Cut it already and keep your mouth quiet"
"Yes, you know how much I respect your Father and your Mother. I am just like this when I am with the people I know I can put jokes on HAHAHA!" Vinz said this while laughing.
"Vinz,"
"Yeah yeah"
Zern and Vinz arrived at Edoh's room. There are two guards on duty who is guarding the room. They salute and pays respect to the Supreme Knight and to the Prince. Zern then opens the door after he knocks.
*sound of the door opening*
Zern and Vinz are already inside, and it is very quiet.
"I guess Uncle Edoh is not here" in a very low voice Vinz said. Zern then walked to near to a table when a familiar voice was heard.
"Are you looking for your father?" a voice of a woman spoke.
As Zern turns his head he saw his Mother.
"Mother!" Zern happily greeted her mother.
"Good day Aunt" Vinz also greeted his Aunt.
The Mother of Zern is yet to be revealed.
