The Golden Throne - Chapter 131

“Hehehe”, Liu Feng scratched the back of his head as he smiled nervously.

“What? Did I say anything wrong?”, Amelia asked Liu Feng.

“No. You said nothing wrong at all. You are absolutely right. Well, the ancients were very advanced.”, Liu Feng put his hands up and did not say anything else in response.

“Then why is everything you say so sarcastic? It’s as if you are the person who created everything, and you just gave this laurel to that master of the mage tower.”, she said.

Shock filled Liu Feng’s eyes, but he quickly hid it. Looking at her, he smiled faintly and said, “Now, we have to move quickly. I want to speak with the king of the forest by the end of the day so that we will be able to sleep peacefully.”

“What do you mean?”, Amelia asked apprehensively.

“If the negotiations go well, then we will be safe till we leave, because he is the king of the forest, and all of the magical beasts are considered his subordinates.”, Liu Feng explained.

“And what is they don’t?”, caution filled Amelia’s voice.

“Well, if they don’t, they don’t. We just have to hope that he doesn’t kill us or something.”, Liu Feng shrugged his head.

“Kill us? Why the hell did you even come here then? To die? Negotiations without any guarantee of protection? Without a doubt, this is the most reckless thing that I have taken a part in.”, Amelia raged.

“Careful now.”, Liu Feng stabilized the car because Amelia shook the car itself in her fit of rage with gusts of winds. “And why do you even care? I am the one in deep trouble if the negotiations go even a little wrong and if the king is completely hot headed.”, Liu Feng sighed.

“You are the one in trouble? How so?”, Amelia asked.

“How so? You are a contractor of Eurus, the queen of the wing spirits. The king of the magical forest even had a child with Eurus according to sources, which I cannot even fathom, I mean, can you even visualize that? Anyway, why would he kill you? If anything, he would kill me in a fit of anger. I am human, and to him, I am basically that person who does not even have a contract. I basically fit his MO of people he wants to kill.”, Liu Feng said as he hit the frame of the car with a hint of frustration.

“MO? What’s that?”, Amelia asked.

“Oh right, I forgot. It is something referring to how he operated. Nothing you should be concerned about. Fine then, let us get going. We are falling behind, and the day is catching up to us.”, Liu Feng said as he pressed on a pedal, presumably the mana pedal (a substitution to the gas pedal), and accelerated considerably.

They kept driving until they reached the magical academy. Reaching the sign of the magic academy, he looked inside. There was not a lot of people inside, but there were clearly people. It seemed like the kings of the countries had not ordered their returns as of yet.

“Why did we come here? Shouldn’t we have gone to the magical forest?”, Amelia asked curiously.

“Well, I do have a few announcements to make here, and the entrance of the magical forest is very near.”

“Announcements? What announcements?”

“You idiot.”, he tapped on Amelia’s head. “Isn’t there a war about to go on? What will happen if there is a goddamn academy in between with the students still there in between the border of the countries who are going to war?”, Liu Feng asked Amelia.

“They will get killed first by whoever arrives first. You are right! We have to evacuate all the students fast!”, Amelia realized.

Liu Feng went in on foot after asking Amelia to stay in the car. He went to the dorms and to his room. Alderan was inside, just sitting there blank faced.

“Why so dull? You should take a look at your appearance in the mirror.”

Alderan looked up to see Liu Feng.

“You are back, finally!”, he leapt up.

“Yup, I am back.”, Liu Feng said.

“Is my sister safe? You were gone for a whole day!”, Alderan asked.

“She is. Don’t worry about her. On another note, I have some very, very important things for you to do.”

“Me? What?”, Alderan was apprehensive.

“You should take all the students of Elvan and Aegon to Dilheim. A series of trains will be coming to pick you guys up. Please be quick. We don’t have much time. We will be declaring war on Glade very soon.”

“War? What about the students of Darv? The king of Darv also came for the meeting, right?”

“Well, we had a disagreement regarding how to proceed, so the king of Darv decided that he would not help out with the war.”

“Disagreed about how to proceed? And they just quit the war? They are not humans! They should know the degree of importance this war holds for the continent, for our survival.”

“I will explain it to you in detail later, maybe. First, get all the students out. They could be valuable in the war, and if they stay here, another attack by the demons would wipe them all out.”, Liu Feng said again.

Alderan nodded, and he got up. “When are the trains arriving?”

“Soon. By the way, does the whole school know about the fights that went on?”

“Yes. Why do you think I know about my sister’s abduction by the one who destroyed the Glade club? Everyone is saying that you kidnapped my sister.”

Liu Feng threw a gold medallion towards Alderan. “This will help with commanding the people from Aegon. Tell them that if they wish to survive, then they should go to Dilehim. Also announce very clearly that people from Darv and Glade are not allowed inside Dilheim for the next few months.”

“The students are not going to be very happy.”

“This is not the time to be caring about a few idiotic children who do nothing but use their father’s power to show off and use it to bully the weak. Don’t forget, even you are one of them. I am only saving all of you because Aegon and Elvan are allies. Now, I don’t want the trains to get hold up. Take care, I’m leaving.”

“Leaving? I have to do this on my own?”

“You are going to be the king of Elvan. Do you not think that you can do at least this?”

Liu Feng left the room and went back to the car.

“Announcements done already?”

“Well, I delegated responsibility to your brother. See, look how much trust I put in him. I am already forgiving all his actions.”

Amelia just stuck her tongue out and turned the other way. They slowly entered the forest. The road was a little bumpy, but the car was an all terrain vehicle, so the passage was smoother than expected. They went along the same road that they went through when they first came here. It was considerably faster because they were in a car though. They went into the forest, and arrived at the gathering that caused the massacre.
