Proposal

"Excuse me, which one is the portal to Deylan?"

"It's this one. Go through this portal. Before you guys enter, please show me your IDs."

"Here."

After checking their IDs the guard lets them enter the portal.

*Swoosh*

The trio, Shira and Akira come out of the portal in Deylan's capital 'Jouran'.

After following Akira and walking through Jouran for a few minutes, they reach a gate. Beyond the gate is a castle.

"Whoa!" The trio's reaction is the same after seeing the castle in front of them.

"Let's go inside." Akira says

Everyone follows behind him. After walking for another few minutes they come in front of a door.

*Knock* *Knock*

Akira knocks on the door.

"Come in!" A young man says

*Creak*

Akira pushes the door open.

When the door opens, they see a young man with very pale skin and sharp, reddish-brown eyes with long lashes and very bright red hair. Dressed in simple, yet elegant clothes of aristocratic style.

Sanji is also there, sitting on his desk, doing some paperwork.

"Welcome!" The young man says.

"Ahh… yes thank you." Akira and Shira Bows a little while entering the room.

The group stops in front of Sanji and kneels.

"We are here, your Majesty." Akira speaks.

"Stand up." Sanji says

The group then stands up.

"I came here, as you asked." Shira says politely.

"Looks like you have fully recovered from that incident" Sanji

"Yes…" Shira

"Shira, I have a proposal for you." Sanji.

"Ask away, Your Majesty."

"I want you, to train under me." Sanji says

"HUH?!?" Everyone's reaction is the same.

"Your Majesty, I'm grateful for your proposal. But may I ask why do you want me to train under you?" Shira asks

"You see, your power is terrifying. If you lose control of that power, 'the whole world' would be in danger. As the Supreme King, I can't let that happen and counter it before it happens."

"Shira's power can put the whole world in danger? Just how terrifying is that power?" Renjii mumbles

"Uhh…I think you are exaggerating a little, father." The young man speaks up.

"Don't get me wrong, Jin. He is very powerful. If he can control his power he can easily become 'Divine Commander'!" Sanji says

Jin Akanishi is the youngest son of the Supreme King.

"D-Divine Commander?!" Everyone says

Hearing about Shira's dangerous power, the trio is silent. Sweats are coming down from their forehead.

"I see. But I'm afraid I have to decline that proposal." Shira.

"Huh?" Everyone's reaction is the same again. Who in their right mind would decline a proposal from THE Supreme King?!

"Are you serious, Shira?" Akira asks

"What is the reason for your rejection?" Sanji asks

"You see, I am currently in charge of these 3 idiots." Shira says

"h-Huh?"

"Since I'm in charge of them, I can't abandon them. As their guardian, I need to protect and train them until they become strong." Shira says

Hearing Shira's reason for refusal, the trio blushes.

"Hearing this from an old man makes me feel weird." Mio says

The Supreme King is surprised. His eyes are widened while hearing Shira's reason.

"I see… That's too bad." Sanji says while shaking his head

"Umm your majesty, I would like to talk about something with you, if you don't mind." Shira asks Sanji

"Sure." Sanji replies

"It's kinda personal, so…" Shira says

"Okay." Sanji replies and looks towards everyone in the room.

Taking the hint everyone leaves the room.

"So, I really want to become stronger. To be honest, I don't want to miss this opportunity, so I would like to train under you. But as you know I also need to take care of a team."

"Hmm…" Sanji expresses

"So, give me a few days. I will teach them some things which will help them for now." Shira says.

"Okay, I have no problem with that." Sanji replies with a smile.

"Thank you very much, your majesty!" Shira says
