Chapter 26:

The Royal Gathering (Part 4)

World Quest: Escape To Reality


(With no more distractions or drama to the party, everyone within was free to conversate amongst each other once again with the Tregonwells gone as Yinlong was the center of attention, watched upon by many princes and princesses of his age as he ate alongside the Veixmares, Kyilei and Kalmina both entranced at Yinlong's fighting while he feels a little uncomfortable, he refuses to make a complaint about it.)

"Yinlong: Emperor Alenoid, this meal is delicious!"
"Alenoid: GGGRAAAHAHAHAH!! I'm glad our food is able to nourish you, my boy!"
"Kyilei: Yinlong if I can ask, how come you used that three star sword?"
"Yinlong: Judging on the stance Mr. Tregonwell held, he was obviously an offensive focused fighter. He never cared about defense if it mean he could defeat his enemies quickly."
"Kalmina: Oo..."
"Yinlong: As long as I protected my vital organs, he never stood a chance on defending himself. And the sword I used holds a locked attribute when landing ten successful parries in a row."
"Kyilei: Oohh! So what would this attribute be if unlocked?"
"Yinlong: ..I'd rather surprise you all, if the time comes."

(With the rest of the party finished their meals, Alenoid showcases his gluttony with more and more plates of food being cleaned out in mere seconds, Yinlong impressed at his appetite as he then lays down a challenge.)

"Yinlong: You're quite the eater, Emperor. How about a little eat-off, you and me?!"
"Alenoid: GGGRRRRAAAHAHAHAH!! BRING IT ON, ME LAD!"

(With Alenoid ringing the bell, multiple butlers would bring forth five carts of foods with a mixed variety as Yinlong and Alenoid then begins to pat his gut, prepared to eat endless plates of foods.)

"Kalmina: Father, are you ready?!"
"Alenoid: Of course!"
"Kalmina: Yinlong?~"
"Yinlong: Ready!"
"Kalmina: The rules are as always, the first one to collapse, losses! GO!"

(With the ring of a bell, Alenoid and Yinlong begins chowing down on plate after plate, most of the spectators would cheer for either side as Kyilei then cheered for Yinlong whom was head to head with Alenoid for most plates eaten in seconds. With four carts cleaned out within five minutes, Yinlong was straining to finish as Alenoid would then finish down to the final cart, Yinlong realizing he was five plates behind as Alenoid then finished first, Yinlong with one plate left halted as the contest ended.)

"Kalmina: Winner!"
"Alenoid: GRRAAAHAHAH!! You're a pretty quick eater, my boy! I'm gonna have to train you myself to eat faster!"
"Forsiel: Goodness, father... You've gotten your new tuxedo ruined again!"
"Alenoid: Oh don't be such a worrywart, Forsiel! I have endless tuxedos!! Speaking of Yinlong, yours has been ruined ever since Wulf doused you with his drink, why don't you freshen up?"
"Yinlong: Are you positive in entrusting someone like me with your toiletries?"
"Alenoid: Why should I not?! You're now family to me and the Veixmares! While we're at it, we can give you one new tuxedo, on the house!"
"Yinlong: B-But sir, that's far too generous of you!"
"Alenoid: Nothing but the best for me family, GRRRAAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!"

(With a few moments then passing by, the party was reaching it's hour for dancing as Yinlong was upstairs in the quarters of the Veixmares as Forsiel himself volunteered to clean Yinlong's tuxedo as Yinlong took time to think about his priorities and especially, what to do when this party ends.)

"Yinlong: ...Now that I actually have time to myself, I need to think. The hell can I do...? Wait."

(Yinlong then reaches to the corner of the shower, grabbing the Amulet of Blood to speak to his familiar and long time friend, Nerata.)

"Yinlong: Hey, Nerata. You busy?"

(With the amulet then being answered, a shade of red glows in Yinlong's face as she picked up.)

"Nerata: Hey Yinlong! Not at the moment but I can talk, what's up?"
"Yinlong: Well, a lot of stuff happened ever since the last time we talked but I'm just gonna come out with it. I don't know what to do next."
"Nerata: What do you mean?"
"Yinlong: Well, what happened was..."

(With Yinlong then explaining everything that has transpired from the disbanding of the Umeni's, the destruction of the Commoner Fields, Rosemary looking for Yinlong and three of his former clan members, The Chosen Sins has reunited as he also mentions Hellaux and Dakakos attempting to kill him as Qi wishes for a second chance as his lover and lastly, the mentioning of him wanting to go to Worldly Conquest Academy.)

"Yinlong: ...So, that's basically everything."
"Nerata: ...W-Wait. Hold up, I need to process everything for a moment..."

(With Yinlong being given the time to continuing washing himself then drying himself off eventually, he would then receive a call back from Nerata as she then gave Yinlong a rundown on what to do.)

"Nerata: Alright. After some time to think, here's what you should do..."
"Yinlong: ..."
"Nerata: Yinlong, go to school."
"Yinlong: You sure?"
"Nerata: Its not good for someone like you who wants to advance in their education to focus on a potential war and die..! You're strong Yinlong, but you need more time to unrust before you even fight those two or Rose!"
"Yinlong: Nerata, but they're very tempted on looking for me."
"Nerata: Actually Yinlong, the Worldly Conquest Academy holds a rule engraved in stone by the Counsel of Origin. Any players applying for the academy and is accepted, can't be challenged for Player Vs. Player combat unless agreeing to a contract."
"Yinlong: ...Hm. I guess I have my decision. Thanks Nerata, I'll talk to you soon."
"Nerata: You too Yinlong, take care!"

(As their conversation then ended, Yinlong was drying off and redressing himself as Kalmina and Kyilei was talking amongst themselves.)

"Kalmina: God, I can't stop thinking about how Yinlong schooled Wulf."
"Kyilei: Yinlong is fascinating."
"Kalmina: Fascinating, yes... But I'd do anything to have a man like him in my life more..."
"Kyilei: Ahaha, that man will come eventually, who knows?!"
"Kalmina: Well... What if I told you that I want that person to be Yinlong?"
"Kyilei: ...I'd uh... Be surprised...!"

(Kyilei was then tightening her left hand into a fist out of jealousy as the two then realized an unfamiliar presence arriving the palace.)

"Kyilei: ...You feel that?"
"Kalmina: ...It's the Militia! FATHER!"

(As the party was once again halted abruptly, the ceiling of the palace was busted through as a count of ten Militia Agents were invading the party and the trio of Solar Magician and the second high ranking Militia as Zollos arrived to the party with the necessary warrant for Yinlong's arrest.)

"Zollos: Alenoid Veixmare."
"Alenoid: ...Zollos."
"Forsiel: ..Hmph! Emperor Zollos, why pray tell are you here?!"
"Kalmina: If you're interested in an ass-kicking, we'll gladly give you one!"
"Solar Magician: Actually, we're not here for any of you. We've received an anonymous tip that Yinlong was found at this very palace. We know he is here, so may as well bring him out!"
"Kyilei: ?!! (Thinking): If they get to Yinlong first, he'll be tortured in those prison cells...! I need to find him first and get him to safety..!"
"Alenoid: Like HELL I'd let either of you Militia dogs lay a single paw on my new son!"
"Zollos: I'm afraid you'll have to let us. Refusal of our work will only place you and the entire Veixmare Empire under Militia Jurisdiction indefinitely! Now bring forth Yinlong or things will get-"
"Yinlong: Get what? Ugly?"

(As the partygoers then sees Yinlong in his newly made tuxedo which was waiting for him, Yinlong would draw the exact three star sword he used in his fight against Wulf as he examines the situation but realizes Solar Magician is with the Militia, allowing him an advantage in killing one of his former clan members in which has and primarily will remain his number one goal.)

"Yinlong: I'm not sure why the Militia wants me, but I'll make this clear. Any of these lovely Royals are hurt tonight and I'll make sure all of you die beneath my feet."
"Solar Magician (Thinking): I remember him now! He's the one who attempted to kill me back at the Tower of Combat. If I bring him in, I'll be able to interrogate who he is and who he works for!"
"Zollos: Men! At any costs, arrest Yinlong! But avoid the Royals!"
"Yinlong: BRING IT ON!!!"

(With Yinlong then in a fighting stance, he'd then activate his Human race's 2nd Awakening, prepared to fight as the Veixmares and Kyilei were out of harm's way to avoid the incoming fight.)
