A Familiar Face.

(While half a week has gone by, the Royal Capital begins to prepare for the arrival of the Emperor of Elements as the Royal Knights was preparing decorations as Aoki, Reika and Vuella was helping out in the process.)
"Aoki: Whew.. This is going to be some event!"
"Vuella: I can't wait!~"
"Arthur: This is a very important event, even the family of the Elemental Region plans to attend this event as well."
"Aoki: Then we can't afford this to be ruined!"
"Roselyn: Everyone!"
(As Roselyn walked towards the hard-working party, she then had an announcement.)
"Aoki: Princess, is something the matter?"
"Roselyn: Well... Its about Aoki's "daughter."
"Aoki: Is she alright?!"
"Roselyn: Well.. She passed all tests but regardless, she's from the dungeons. So she'll have to be under strict surveillance. She can be trusted in your care, right Aoki?"
"Aoki: Of course she can..!"
"Roselyn: Very well... Do understand the major consequences that awaits you if you intend to break your word?"
"Aoki: I can assure you, nothing will go wrong."
"Reika: Princess, I have faith in the human. He won't break your word."
"Roselyn: In that case, good!"
(Another Royal Guard then approaches the party to inform Roselyn of a major announcement.)
"Prescott Hal (Royal Knight): Lady Musili! An urgent message has been sent to the royal family!"
"Roselyn: What's the message?"

"Prescott: The message states and I quote...: "To the Musili family, this letter is in regards to all nine uninvolved nations of Aiperontia. As all nine states are aware of the peace treaty signing between both the Region of Magic and Region of Elements, all nine nations has agreed to witness the peace treaty signing to see the long-awaited unionizing between two of the three powerful regions in all of Aiperontia. See you until then, -Empress of Spirits, Eterne."

"Arthur: The Spirit Empress and the rest of the eight nations are showing up? At this point, we'll have to raise the restrictions, just a smart suggestion."
"Roselyn: Good point. Sir Hal, thank you dearly for the message. Inform my parents that we must have rules and restrictions for the upcoming event."
"Prescott: Of course, princess!"
(As Prescott then leaves to put in the request, Roselyn then realized an even bigger problem has approached the Royal Family.)
"Roselyn: So.. Aoki, about that, we're gonna have to make sure she's locked away until the event ends. Is that... okay with you?"
"Aoki: ...I really don't have a choice, don't I?"
"Arthur: No you do not."
"Aoki: Then why should I decline?"
"Roselyn: Very well... Then we are in agreement."
"Vuella: I just noticed something... How exactly did the Empress of Spirits know about every nation joining this event..?"
(Everyone then realized something which was inevitably true.)
"Roselyn: ...I... don't know..!"
"Reika: Relax... If every nation is coming that means Lady Eterne's assistant, I can bet you money Rothor is coming as well."
"Vuella: Ugh, I hate that guy..."
"Aoki: Who's Rothor?"
"Reika: Rothor is known in the Realm of Gods as the God of Balanced Justice, he's a huge pain in the ass with that smug look on his face every time he wins a case."
"Vuella: Not to mention, he's the reason Reika no longer is a higher ranking deity."
"Aoki: Wait, what?!"
"Reika: ...Yes, I may be a destroyer goddess. But there are hundreds of gods, that ranks higher than me now. Because of Rothor, I'm considered a middle class god."
(Roselyn then began to feel bad for Reika.)

"Roselyn: I'm sorry that happened, but you're very strong to us!"
"Reika: Hmph..."
(Reika then hides her blush as she felt better after hearing it from Roselyn.)
"If the princess thinks so, then I'm pretty strong I guess."
(Everyone else chuckled as they continued to prepare for the upcoming event. As the final preparations has been set, the Royal Knights were given the last two days to relax as Arthur was then relaxing at the tavern as two low-ranked knights confronted Arthur.)
"???: Arthur!"
"Arthur: Hm? Can I help you two?"
"Goderfy Tybaut (Low-Class Royal Knight): We were given the order to accompany you into Khotgow City to collect a bouquet of fruits for the peace treaty!"
"Arthur: Is this an order from the Royal Family?"
"Jessmond Alinora (Middle-Class Royal Knight): Yes, we have the official order from King Musili and we do not have to worry about payment for it has been settled."
"Arthur: Then lets go get that fruit bouquet."
(As the three then ventures to Khotgow City to collect the order, Arthur was enjoying the scenery of the outskirts outside of the Royal Capital.)
"Ahh... I miss these county-like areas. The villages, the horse carriages and the sweet smell of freshly baked foods prepared for the families to enjoy."

(As the three enjoyed the scenery and memories of the outskirts, they'd then enter Khotgow City which was more crowded than usual as they then arrived at the busy shop and picked up the bouquet of fruit and was preparing to head back but then noticed a stampeding horse carriage storm towards the Royal Capital which gave Arthur a strange feeling of a familiar source of magical energy which triggered him to transport the two knights along with himself back to the capital to inform the king and queen immediately.)

"Jessmond: Is something wrong Arthur?"
"Arthur: Did you two not sense that magical energy just now?"
(They suddenly sense it from the distance as the king and queen was leaving their thrones and walked outside to greet the returning knight.)
"Ophiel: Arthur, thank goodness you've arrived back in time!"
"Arthur: What's the situation?"
"Venali: Situation? There's no situation, this is one of the elite Royal Knights who departed from the Royal Capital to live in the Nation of Spirits, before you joined this individual is actually a veteran to the Royal Knights from the 3rd Generation!"
"Arthur: So he's that much of a legend?"
"Venali: No no Arthur... She!"

(Horses were heard neighing in the distance the carriage was arriving even closer to the Royal Capital as the royal family and the Royal Knights including Reika and Aoki were ready to greet the knight for their return. As the carriage comes to a stop, the doors then opened as a 6'2 tall muscular female wearing a golden encrusted chestplate while revealing part of her abs with a sigil of the royal knights engraved onto her arm as a tattoo and long, enchanting blonde hair and wearing a cursed eyepatch catches the attention of the new generation Royal Knights except for stern faced knights. As the lady royal knight then stands firm, front and center, she then is welcomed back with an in unison welcome.)

"All: Welcome home to the Royal Capital, Champion Emmeline Arlette!"
(She then smiles at every royal knights as they all formed a line as Emmeline then walked up the stairs and stares down the elite royal knights along with Reika and Aoki.)
"Emmeline: I appreciate the welcome home everyone, I would like to speak with you all if that's okay, Lady and Sir Musili."
"Venali: Of course! You all are dismissed, be sure to arrive Thursday!"
(As the Royal Knights were dismissed, time has passed as Emmeline got to meet Reika, Vuella, Arthur and Aoki all at the same time but one by one.)
"Emmeline: So... Vuella, I hear you're a goddess with Reika?"
"Vuella: That's right! Me and Reika have heard all about your work during the Age of Violence."
(Aoki was suddenly confused on what the Age of Violence was as Emmeline walked towards Arthur and was impressed at what she was looking at.)
"Emmeline: Well well..~ Color me impressed Mr. Holy Knight! Seems like you actually are strong and good looking."
"Arthur: W-Well.. Its just a simple routine to keep good shape!"
"Emmeline: Whatever you're doing, it's working... I'd kill to have killer biceps like those...~"
(She then walked to Aoki and pondered about his appearance and magical power level as Aoki was suddenly nervous as he was sweating for a moment but notices that Emmeline's facial reaction changed to surprised.)
"Wait... Is that you... Aoki Toshiharu?"
"Aoki: ...How do you know my full name..?!"
(Reika suddenly was silent as she did not say anything but had something to do with a connection between Aoki and Emmeline.)
"Emmeline: You're so cruel.. You forgot...?"
(Aoki suddenly had a memory of a young-aged roleplaying girl who'd always play with him which then triggered the name he remembered.)
"Aoki: WAIT A SECOND, Is that you Mieko?!"
"Emmeline: Finally remembered your ex huh?"
(As everyone was confused, Emmeline took time to explain everything on how Aoki and her were related as Reika still refuses to say anything on her end in which no one has realized.)

"Roselyn: So before Aoki, you was transported here from Earth in your sleep and somehow, you managed to maintain your memories after transporting to this world?"
"Emmeline: That's right! I don't know who brought me to Aiperontia but I honestly am grateful. Now that I know Aoki's here, I want to take the chance to reconnect with him!"
(Aoki was suddenly embarrassed as he remembered why they broke up.)
"Reika: So... human... How long have you and Emmeline met?"
"Emmeline: Oh please, its okay to call me Mieko, Miss Reika!"
"Reika: Uh... Mieko. I meant."
"Aoki: Well... Me and Mieko met for about eight years."
"Arthur: When you mention "ex", you two dated? Tell me, did you two exchange bodily fluids?"
"Aoki: UMM... U-UH...!"
"Emmeline: We did kiss before but I never had interest in having naked relations with him."
(Aoki was suddenly silent as he was then embarrassed.)
"Aoki: She actually uh.. left me for someone else before that day would come."
"Vuella: Sorry to hear that.."
(Arthur begins to sob dramatically on purpose as he felt shame for Aoki while staring at the ceiling for a few seconds then stands on his two feet and acts dramatically.)
"Arthur: HOW COULD YOU BREAK UP WITH MY DISICPLE..?! MY.. POOR... VIRGIN... DISCIPLE?!!!"
(Emmeline then laughed at Arthur's act as she fell for it.)
"Emmeline: In truth... Aoki and I didn't see eye to eye anymore, so I left him for someone better. But... At the same time, I regret it."
"Aoki: Oh do you now?"
"Emmeline: It was a very ass move of me, I get that. But I really didn't have the guts to tell you I wanted to stop being with you."
"Aoki: Excuses."
"Emmeline: Excuse me?"
"Aoki: You're making excuses again, Mieko..."
(She was suddenly irritated as their expressions towards each other changed.)

"Emmeline: I'm making excuses? Very hypocritical from the guy who cancelled our fifth date over a fake sickness?"
"Aoki: THAT WAS REAL!"
"Emmeline: Liar liar, pants on fire! I eavesdropped you while you was at a seafood restaurant, eating like a damn hog!"
"Aoki: A HOG??! YOU SPEND OVER TWO THOUSAND YEN ON MAKEUP, JEWLERY AND HAIR ACCESSORIES!"
"Emmeline: Woman care is just as important as man care!"
(As they both argued, they then scoffed at each other and turned around which their arguing was another reason why they broke up.)
"Arthur: So is this arguing why you two truly broke up?"
"Emmeline: Aoki isn't interesting, he'll be fun for a while but he's just like any other guy and always tries to rush things."
"Aoki: YOU ARE A LIAR!"
"Reika: HUMAN!"
(As Reika's eyes glowed black and yellow, the entire Royal Capital began to shake as Aoki then kept his anger under control as Reika's impending anger was what forced Aoki to back down.)
"Arthur: Might wanna watch it there, you're yelling at a girl after all."
"Aoki: Oh that's bullshit. If it was anyone else, they'd get a slide but when I yell at a girl, I'm the enemy here?"
"Roselyn: Honestly... Its because you have an easy temper now Aoki. Plus, think about it. You and Banri made a contract but you'll never know if he could snap control of you quickly with your anger released like that."
"Aoki: ... That's a load of crap."
(Roselyn was suddenly hurt by his reaction as Arthur felt immediately offended.)
"Arthur: Apologize to Roselyn, now."
"Aoki: If I don't, then what?..."

(As moments passed while Royal Knights were discussing plans for their day off as an explosion occurs inside the Royal Capital which was revealed a rocketing Aoki flipping in midair until colliding onto a created platform from Arthur to save any areas of the capital becoming collateral damage. Civilians along with the royal knights then noticed Arthur walking towards the hurt Aoki with his sword drawn as Arthur's mind was clouded with punishments for Aoki.)

"Arthur: Its a damn shame it had to come to this, disciple. You still think high and mighty when you can't even hold a candle to me, the knights or even your Reika, Vuella or your ex."
"Aoki: SHUT UP!"
(Aoki exhales a storm of flames as Arthur then swings his sword once which created a gust of wind powerful enough to send the inferno away which Aoki then rushes to Arthur to battle him in sword combat but Arthur then kicks the sword out of his hand then grips Aoki's shirt to make him stare at Arthur's pissed off expression on his face.)
"Arthur: Apologize. To. Princess. Musili. Now."
"Aoki: I will prove... I'M STRONGER!"
"Arthur: ... Sigh.. I really wish I didn't want to have to do this... But to make the stubborn understand, they must learn the word discipline."
(Arthur's entire body begins to glow a golden color as Roselyn was suddenly worried that Arthur might go too far and tries to stop him but was halted by Reika and the others.)
"Reika: Princess, it would be wise for you to let Arthur handle this. The teacher has to discipline a misbehaving student after all."
"Roselyn: I-I know but.. the capital!!"
(As Aoki quickly backed away, he realized he was screwed as Arthur then revealed a golden halo on his head, representing his "Angel" race then takes one step on the air and flash steps at the speed of light and knocks out Aoki with one devastating chop to the back of the neck which blasts him through the midair platform and implant him on the ground inside the capital.)
"Arthur: Aoki. I gave you a chance to let bygones be bygones... But now, I can't consider you worthy of my teaching if this is how you've decided to act while learning my training."
(Arthur then strips Aoki of his disciple title as Reika was very upset with Aoki's actions. As the fighting stopped, several low-class Royal Knights arrived at the crater where Aoki was knocked unconscious as Arthur powered down to give a further instruction.)
"Tie Aoki's hands and take him to the throne room, Princess Roselyn and her parents along with Lord Fenius will decide the best punishment for him."
(As they did so, Aoki was then tied by the royal knights and taken to the royal family's throne room for further judgement.)
