Chapter 219: chapter 219- Something Changes ll
"..."
Taufik could only remain silent as he passed through the hallway after exiting the room where he had regained consciousness earlier, he remained silent not because of the hallway, whether it was beautiful or not, nor because the Butlers and Maids who saw them immediately lowered their heads, but the paintings that were displayed on the walls of the hallway, because they were all portraits of himself and Gaia, some of them with Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka, but that was only a few.
And one thing that is similar about his self-portraits in all of these paintings is that he is depicted with his eyes closed, seeing this, Taufik suddenly got goosebumps.
"... Gaia, this?"
"Hm~ what's wrong, honey?"
"What is this all about?"
Said Taufik while looking at all the portraits on the wall.
"... This? It looks great, isn't it? Someone who drew this is also one of the Great people I want you to meet, he's so skillful"
"Yeah, it looks great, but-"
"C'mon, we don't have much time; you can ask any questions later after our date, okay? Everyone is waiting"
"... Okay"
Said Taufik, who could only follow what Gaia wanted, an-
"... Wait! What? Everyone is what? I thought we Were going on dates?"
"Hehe~ Changes of the plan; after all of the Important people in our kingdom heard a word about you waking up, they wanted to see you first; it won't take a "long time", after that, we're going as the original plan, okay?"
"*Sigh* Alright, but don't expect too much, I was Indeed from Royal lineage but I'm not used to the Formality"
"It's okay~ It's okay~ no need to act, just be yourself, I think they will prefer you to be like that... After all, before they come to this island they all are normal civilians"
"... It's so"
With that, Gaia continued to hold Taufik's hand while walking towards a hall, counting from how long they had been walking; Taufik felt that this place was very spacious.
'... They made all this, just in five years, really? With the technology that humans have in this era?'
"... We're here"
Said Gaia, which made Taufik come out of his thoughts. The two of them arrived at a large door with decorations that could be said to be quite luxurious, and on each side of the door, there was a guard, who, after seeing their arrival, suddenly knelt down towards the two of them.
"... We greet His Highness and Her Highness. Shall we announce your arrival, Your Highness?"
"Please do"
Replaid Gaia to the Two Guards who Immediately stood and approached the door. They held the doorknob at the same time; they both looked at each other and nodded and after that, they immediately pushed the door at the same time.
After the door was fully opened, the two guards each stood in front of the open door, taking a firm stance, and shouted loudly.
"His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen are entering the Hall!!"
The moment the scream was heard, the noise that had filled the hall immediately disappeared, and everyone's gazes were directed towards the open door.
---------------
- A few moments ago, Inside the Hall, before Taufik and Gaia make their appearance.
There were not many people in the hall, because those who gathered here were only important people for the nameless kingdom and had made great contributions as also some of their family members, but it did not match their current era, the clothes that these people wore looked modern, the men wore suits and the women wore beautiful dresses.
Some of these people formed small groups to talk about what was interesting to them, and the most striking was the group of people who were right in the middle of the hall, without having to be told, the people who saw the people in that group were important people, and the best in their fields.
"... After all these years, The King has finally woken up, so the time has come... You all know what to do, right?"
Said someone who looked like he was the oldest of the group because he indeed looked old, had a dignified face, neatly combed white hair, had a beard of the same color, was wearing a white suit, and had a sturdy body like a fighter.
"Hm~ you're right, Sir Axel, it's been four years since we came to this Island, We've built this barren land into what it is today, we can't stay in this state forever, we need a change"
Said a man who looked to be in his thirties, with long black hair that he tied into a low ponytail, and wearing glasses; he was wearing a dark blue blazer with a white inside, and his name was Danish.
"... Barren land, huh? I remember the day I was stranded here after my ship sank due to a beast attack, it was a great stroke of luck for me to be able to drift safely to this island, at that time there was nothing here, you know how shock Am I when the first time I saw Lord Lembuswana and Lord Nāgāntaka?
At first, I thought they were beasts at that time, Fortunately, The Queen was also there, if not, haha~ I don't know what I'd do"
"Now you mention it, sir Axel, I'm curious, is it the king already Unconscious the day you arrived here?"
Ask a woman wearing a black shift dress and holding a glass of wine in her hand; the woman has long blonde hair that she lets down and blue eyes.
"He is, Lord Lembuswana said that he was like that because fighting a strong enemy, which he won but exhausted his Mana in the process which led him to fall Unconsisous until today, he's also the one who found this Island, and he is also the one who drifts out all the beast in this Island along with Lord Lembuswana, all of us was here Thanks to The King, and We can develop this island into a kingdom that is more advanced than the kingdoms out there that have existed for hundreds of years, thanks to the guidance of the Queen and the knowledge of Lord Lembuswana, and thanks to the protection of Lord Nāgāntaka, everything can run smoothly"
"... Strong Enemy, huh?" Said the woman again.
"... Do you have something in mind, Briel?" Ask sir Axel.
"... Do you all remember the strange phenomenon that happened five years ago? Something that all of us who come from different Continents can witness with our own eyes"
"What with that, Briel?"
Ask another woman in the group; she is a young woman, maybe in her twenties; she has pale blonde hair, green eyes, also wears glasses, and wears a green full-skirt dress that is the same color as her eyes; the woman is Cassie.
"... I'm a Magician myself, and I'm sure what I saw that day Is Mana Partikel"
"... So?"
"Think about it, This is just my assumption, Both Guardians, such as Lord Lembuswana and Lord Nāgāntaka have the power to repel the Beasts with their mere existence, and both of those powerful beings regard our King as their Master, which indirectly implies that our King's power is not far or even stronger than the two of them, Five Years ago after that strange phenomenon occurred, the Cracks all over the world never happened again, five years ago also our King fought a "Strong" enemy do you think there is a connection between all of that?
Does our King have any connection to the cracks that never appeared again? If you think about it doesn't it make sense?"
Said Briel, which made the people around him suddenly fall silent, but the silence was broken by a short man with a long beard, and unlike the other guests who were wearing neat and elegant formal clothes, the person was wearing clothes like a workshop uniform and was holding a beer bottle in his hand, he is Farak Magmaar.
"Tch! You guys, Magicians always talk about useless things; this is a party, a place for fun; we should forget about anything serious and just enjoy ourselves... This way you guys always called party wreakers, it's because all that out from your mouth is always a serious thing"

"..."
Hearing this, some of them could only smile awkwardly because they knew what would happen after this.
"... What you know, you tiny old Man, we're not like you're kind who can live for a Thousand years"
"WHAT? OLD MAN? JUST YOU KNOW, I'M STILL YOUNG IN DWARF STANDARD, YOU KNOW, YOU OLD HAG!!"
"W-WHAT?!! OLD HAG? Y-YOU... I'LL BURN YOU ALIVE!!"
After that, Farak and Briel shouted at each other, which made everyone's attention turn to them, but no one stopped them, as if they were used to the sight.
"Here they are again, you don't want to stop them, sir Axel?" Ask Danish to Sir Axel.
"... They should just be honest with their feelings, but their ego holds them back from being honest with their feelings, what a hassle"
"... That will take a long time, I think, ahaha~," Said Cassie while giggling.
"... I should stop them; the King and Queen will arrive anytime soon; we can't give a first impression like this when faced with the King...
Said Sir Axel, who then approached Farak and Briel, who currently looked as if they wanted to strangle each other's necks.
... The two of you, Stop! Will yo- "
"His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen are entering the Hall!!"
"!!!"
Hearing the announcement, everyone in the hall immediately fell silent; even Farak and Briel were included; they all quickly tidied up their clothes and prepared to welcome the King and Queen.
"So, Sir Axel, who will do it?" Ask Danish.
"... I'll do it"
....
