?Inside the Dwarf kingdom’s Royal Castle, Royal Court…
Gwan, The King of Dwarfs is sitting on the throne with a very serious expression and around him are sitting his 9 Royal Ministers.
“This is a very serious situation, Sir.” A Royal Minister spoke.
“I say, We should assemble all the Guards we have right now and Launch an attack on the Human kingdom.” Another minister spoke.
“That’s stupid… We should Deal with the bigger threat for now.”
“We should ask him what he wants and negotiate.”
“No negotiations will be done with a human in this kingdom. He has to die…”
All 8 ministers gave their opinion on th current situation except one.
This minister was none other than, the same dwarf who saw Anon’s fight with the Eclipsewhisperer in the stormborn sea.
He holded a bottle of alcohol in his hands and looked at his legs while taking sips out of it.
“4 ministers are on the side of Negotiating with Anon and 4 ministers are against it.
Minister Noma, What do you say about this ? Your opinion will decide our decision.” Gwan spoke with a serious expression as he looked at Noma.
Noma looked at the king and smiled.
“Why are you smiling, Minister Noma ? Do you think it’s something funny going on here ?” Gwan asked with a serious expression.
“No, Your majesty… I am looking at these fools. Playing the game of politics in this safe space.” Noma spoke with a smile as he placed his bottle aside and stood up from his Chair.
“What do you mean, Minister Noma ?” Gwan asked with a Confused expression.
“21 days ago… I received a piece of information. It was about a battle… The battle that was going to be conducted between Anon Agreil and An Eclipsewhisperer, In the middle of the Stormborn Sea.” Noma.
“You believe that ? It was all made up lie… No one has ever seen a real Eclipsewhisperer. Anon gave people money to talk about this story. So, he can get more famous.” A minister spoke with an ignorant smile.
“That’s your problem, Right there… Your Majesty. Guys like them are the main problem of this kingdom. He heard the news and immediately called it fake.
Neither did he made an effort to find out more about this scenario, nor did he go there.
But, I did and I saw it all with my own eyes.” Noma spoke with a serious and confident expression.
“That’s bullshit… You are saying that you saw an Eclipsewhisperer ? A living one with your own eyes ?” Other minister asked.
“Give us some proof… You should’ve recorded their fight right ?” Another minister asked.
“How can you record anything if you are trapped inside a mana sealed barrier ?” Noma asked with a serious expression.
“Fine, I believe it… You saw Anon fighting with an Eclipsewhisperer. What then ?” Gwan asked with a serious expression.
“I have seen Anon fight… When he enters into the battlefield, he becomes a maniac. The one who cares about no one and nothing except his own Victory.
He overwhelmed an Eclipsewhisperer by using only a part of his total strength and received the Eclipsewhisperer’s strength in return too. That means he is even stronger now…” Noam spoke but before he could’ve completed his sentence, He was interrupted by gwan mid-way.
“Minister, Noma… Clear it out in two sentences to me, I don’t want to wastey time listening to Anon’s legends. What is this guy exactly and How strong is he ?” Gwan asked.
“Two sentences huh… Fine. Your majesty, Anon is an Avatar of a Demonic Goddess…” Noma spoke with a smile.
“A Demonic Goddess…?”
“Who forms a contract with them..?”
“But, it can be possible… Maybe that’s why he is so strong.”
“Yeah… That can be the reason.”
….
All the ministers started talking to each other about this matter.
“A Demonic Goddess…? Which one ?” Gwan asked with a curious expression.
“Harmony has shaken hands with Anon.” Noma spoke with a serious expression.
Suddenly, Everyone went silent as soon as they heard this.
“H-Harmony… As in ‘The Goddess Of Anger and Vengeance ?’, Noma ?” A minister asked with a stammering voice.
“Yes, also known as ‘The Rising Star Of Destruction.’ ” Noma replied.
“That’s not possible… That goddess has zero followers and she cannot have an Avatar… Until-” A minister stood up from his chair and started speaking but suddenly stopped.
“Yes, Until he formed an exchange contract with her.” Noma replied.
“That’s an urban legend as well… You can’t form exchange contracts with dead gods and goddesses.”
“My lord… This guy is drunk and telling misleading stories here in your Royal Court.” A minister shouted with an irritated expression.
“Sit down…” Gwan spoke with a serious expression.
“B-But… My lord.”
“Don’t you heard me ?”
“Y-Yes, Sir.” .
“You have one more sentence left… Noma.” Gwan spoke with a serious expression as he looked at Noma.
Noma looked directly into Gwan’s eyes and spoke with a smile, “My lord, If Anon has said that he will sit on your Throne by the midnight, Then… Not even our whole armies combined can stop him.”
“Dared to talk like that in our Royal Court… My lord, he should be sentenced to death by the laws of this court.”
“Shall I execute this bastard, right here… My lord ?” Another minister stood up from his chair and unsheathed his sword.
“According to the laws of this court… You can keep me in the prison under treason charges and can only execute me on the next morning once the sun rises.
I don’t think, you guys can survive until the morning. Bye fellas… Have a good night.” Noma spoke as he picked up his bottle of alcohol from his chair and started walking towards the exit gate of the Royal Court.
But, suddenly… He stopped and turned around. He looked at Gwan and raised his bottle up…
“Cheers, Mate..” Noma spoke as he smiled and turned around again.
“Are you really going to leave your friend like that, Noma ? In a Death situation ?” Gwan asked as he stood up from his throne.
Noma suddenly halted his steps and turned around.
“You have one favour left… Don’t waste it on something, I can’t do.” Noma spoke with a serious expression.
300 years ago, Dwarf kingdom…
Noma and Gwan worked in the army of the kingdom and they were best friends.
The weapons they made were priceless and the art of fighting was something they both Learned from Noma’s father… Who was a great warrior of his time.
They fought many battles together, sworn each other as blood brothers at one point and when that time came, Noma spoke something he wasn’t supposed to say.
“Brother, I give you three favours…”
“Three favours ?” Gwan asked.
“Yes, Just ask anything… I will give it to you or die trying.” Noma replied.
“Anything ?”
“Yes, Anything…”
“Haa… Then make me the king of this kingdom. Haha… I am just kiddin-”
“Fine, If that’s what you want…” Noma spoke with a very serious expression.
Gwan saw faith and Confidence in Noma’s eyes that day.
Noma murdered the king and thousands of guards in one night and brought the crown for his friend.
That’s when he realised, that the things he has done… were unforgivable. Noma tried to leave Gwan’s side immediately but, that’s when Gwan spoke up.
“Are you really going to leave friend like that ? How will I rule this kingdom all alone ?”
“I can’t stay… Gwan.” Noma spoke with a sad voice.
“I want to ask my second favour then… I want you to stay by my side as my Royal minister until I rule this kingdom.” Gwan spoke.
A favour was a favour and that’s how Noma was forced to become Gwan’s Royal Minister.
Present time…
“Gwan… Ask your favour wisely.” Noma spoke with a serious expression.
“One last fight… My friend.” Gwan replied with a smile.
“FUCKKKKKKKK….”
*Crash*
Noma shouted as he threw the bottle of alcohol on the ground and broke it into several pieces.
“What is happening here ?” A minister asked.
“I don’t have any fucking idea…”
“Do you ?” He asked as he turned to another minister.
“Nope.”
…
All the ministers were confused to see this view.
Noma looked at Gwan with a very angry expression.
“I am going to Prepare my weapons…” Noma spoke as he immediately left the court.
*Sit*
Gwan sat back down and placed his hand over his forehead.
‘What is happening to my kingdom ?’ He thought.
“My lord, Should we-”
“This court is adjourned… Go back to your houses, Except the finance minister and army captain.” Gwan spoke with a serious expression.
“Y-Yes, My lord.”
All of them left and only two ministers were now standing inside the Royal Court.
*Knock-Knock*
Suddenly, A knock was heard on the court door.
“Come in…” Gwan spoke.
A knight came running into the court with a very Scared expression on his face.
He immediately went down on his knees and looked at Gwan.
“S-S-Sir… O-Our Teams and Commander Supreme, Have been wiped out.” The knight informed.
“WHAT !?”
