For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Maria Green. A renowned gambling house in the capital. On the surface, it's a fancy place for rich people to spend their money recklessly. However, in reality, this house concealed many illegal activities hosted under the Green family's supervision. Aside from sleeves and treasures, Maria Green's goods were known for being of high quality. Tamed monsters, peerless pieces of equipment and black magic services. Might as well call it a magical supermarket.

Why they were not caught yet?

Naturally, because this gambling house belonged to the Green's pigeons Marchant guild, which is wholly supported by the crown prince. Now, who's going to tell the Emperor that his 10 years old son was secretly sponsoring criminals with his own money and right under his nose?!!

Obviously, it's not gonna be me. Maybe Everly?

Holding a sack that was wetted by a dark liquid from the bottom, Bun-Bun patiently waited for his liege's arrival. Oliver was also supposed to meet them here, at Maria Green, but seems like he will run late.

Bun-Bun waited for a while before someone approached him. A middle-aged man wearing flashy clothes stood in front of him with a polite smile on his face.

" oh my, aren't you his highness's assistant? "

" Greetings, Mister Green "

Bun-Bun nodded his head towards the man. Isaac Green, head of Green family, and the one who goes around spreading rumours, boasting about how the crown prince favoured him.

All the bullshit he said reached Lennox at some point. He really wanted to shove some dirt down this guy's throat.

Isaac kept talking and talking nonstop. Although it hasn't been too long, Bun-Bun felt that he already spoke ten thousand words. Just as he finished praying for his liege to quickly come to get him in his heart, Lennox appeared from thin air.

Upon seeing him, Bun-Bun's face instantly lit up. He was about to call for him when suddenly, a hard cold object landed at the Sky pillar between his legs. Bun-Bun's mind blacked out, he couldn't stand straight and fell on his knees. Bending his body forward and covering that sensitive area with both hands as he trembled in pain. By his side laid a very familiar Violette sword.

Isaac covered his mouth in shock. His brows knitted closely, looked very concerned about the poor guy. How could he not? Every man understood that pain very much. Issac turned at the person who created this tragic, saying with sympathy for his fellow man.

" ah your highness, compose your anger. We lowly ones might bear losing an arm or a leg, but a man's family sword is irreplaceable! "

With his usual emotionless face, Lennox responded mockingly.

" Then, if you don't learn to shut your mouth, mister Green. Yours will be next "

The threat received successfully. Issac closed his mouth shut and retreated few steps back. Seeing his reaction, Lennox withdrew his gaze from him and crouched down next to Bun-Bun.

" Why didn't you tell me that zombie girl's brother owns the league? "

" lord....didn't ask "

Hearing his subordinate's wavering voice, Lennox sighed. He patted Bun-Bun on the back a few times as he said gently.

" I think we already had this conversation. If there was any type of information that might concern me, you have to tell me immediately. Right? "

Surprisingly, every time Lennox's hand touched his back, Bun-Bun felt the pain in his lower part gradually decrease. And once Lennox was done speaking, the pain has already subsided as if it never existed.

Bun-Bun was yet to respond to Lennox when Everly suddenly exclaimed.

" Eww!! Why is this here "

She quickly let go of the sack that Bun-Bun was holding. It contained something circular and round, that it rolled on the ground before stopping in front of Isaac's feet.

Lennox raised a brow at him with a faint smile on his face. He seemed like a parent looking at his son who tried to make breakfast but ended up burning the whole kitchen.

" you seriously brought it? "

" Lord said he wanted it, so.... "

Lennox let out a short laugh. It sounded evil but in reality it was the complete opposite. He waved at Bun-Bun to get up as he yanked Everly, who was running like an idiot, from her collar.

" you did well. Now, kick your ass up, let's get going "

He turned to Isaac who picked the mysterious sack, saying:" and you. Go bury that thing in your hands "

" What is this? "

" Baron Zalthon's head "

"...!!!! "

*****

On Maria Green's third floor, at the chief's meeting room. Lennox sat at the head table with Everly sitting next to him on the same chair. The room was empty, yet she insisted on sticking to him.

At the moment, Bun-Bun left to lead the guests Lennox was waiting for, to this room, which means that they were alone. Everly pulled a small bag from her spatial bag, she pushed it towards him saying.

" Lennox, open it for me "

" you don't know? "

" no. Everly's hands can't open them "

' so your baby fingers can only beat people, huh? '

Obviously, she wasn't talking about the tie on the bag, but the pistachios inside it. Lennox sighed inwardly then began peeling the pistachio nuts and feeding her. It can't be helped, he had to endure, after all, this meeting was possible to hold because of her.

Why?

Loves are the most cherished creatures to god. Pleasing them means pleasing God themselves. Originally, Lennox was waiting for an opportunity to lure the power players of other nations, but things were peaceful and didn't have the perfect bait.

However, after a month of coaxing with Everly and fulfilling her needs, all opportunities appeared out of nowhere, like fishes jumping into his net. A drought hit Tatly kingdom, a duke from Mariand is suddenly lusting over the throne and someone wishes to avenge against the royalty of Castalon poped from thin air.

Loves really be unbelievably loved!

That's the reason why a honorable being was peeling some nuts to feed a sleepy cutie-pie. Not long has passed when Lennox heard a couple of knocks on the door, followed by his servant's voice.

" My lord, the guests had arrived "

" Come in "
