Chapter 918 Two Kingdom at Peace
"Well, it's not as if this is the first time you have done such a thing, after all, you did show yourself to the entire troop after evolving and becoming Tier I back then," Aethion said teasingly while laughing at Reign and the embarrassing situation he found himself in.
"I was not aware that such a situation existed, Aethion, is master perhaps an exhibit-"
'I'm not, I wasn't aware I was naked!' Reign shouted in his head while his face reddened from shame.
"Uh, well, this is awkward," Reign muttered, hastily grabbing a nearby blanket to cover himself. Mia's face turned an even deeper shade of red as she struggled to maintain her calm and continued staring to the side.
"Sorry about that," Reign apologized, trying to hide his embarrassment. "Guess I got a bit too excited about feeling better."
"Well, you certainly did seem excited!" Aethion shouted before laughing again, this time barely keeping himself together from falling down and rolling on the ground.
Reign's face only reddened more thanks to his comment, the only saving grace being the fact only he was able to hear Aethion.
Mia, attempting to ease the awkwardness, finally spoke up, her voice a bit shaky. "I'll get you some clothes. Just wait here."
As Mia hastily left the room, Reign couldn't help but feel a mix of embarrassment and shame at the situation. Meanwhile, Aethion continued to chuckle in his mind, thoroughly entertained by the unexpected turn of events.
When Mia returned with a set of clothes, she handed them to Reign, avoiding eye contact. Reign put them on, only to quickly find out the clothes were two sizes bigger than his own.
"Oh, I didn't expect that, I thought they were placed there for you," Mia said as Reign scratched the back of his head and chuckled before suddenly realizing something.
"I have clothes in my inventory." Reign said as he blinked twice quickly, as did Mia.
She turned around as Reign used the system to store the clothes that were on him before equipping some he had in the inventory. The clothes immediately appeared on him, and he was finally dressed.
He then took out the clothes that Mia had given him from the inventory and placed them on a nearby chair.
"We should probably put these where they were before."
"Yeah, I'll do that," Mia said as she nodded her head before taking the clothes and walking to the door.
"Mia?" Reign spoke behind her while smiling embarrassedly.
"Let's forget that ever happened," Reign suggested with a sheepish grin.
Mia nodded, still avoiding eye contact but managing a small smile. "Sure, let's just focus on your recovery."
"Nah, I'm already fine, Aethion and Jared made sure of that."
"Oh, is that why you woke up so much sooner than the doctors expected?"
"Yeah."
As Reign and Mia continued their conversation, the atmosphere lightened, and the awkward incident seemed to fade into the background. Mia updated Reign on the events that had unfolded in the past few days, including the reactions of the two kingdoms to the clash of powerful forces in the mountainous region of the borderlands.
Reign learned that both the Irason and Elais Kingdoms had gotten relieved after hearing that Avargan was gone, as were all of his children, well, except for Aragos.
The two kingdoms were at peace, but it was not as if troubles were not present.
There were attempts to start a new war between the two kingdoms. Some people were not happy that they were now in peace, they had lost their loved ones in the war, and wished for nothing else but the destruction of the other kingdom.
There were attempts to take over strongholds, smaller towns, and even assassination attempts at certain figures, not even the royal family had been spread of such a thing.
Almost all of those things failed, with only some groups being able to kill some notable characters or take over some insignificant strongholds and towns.
They were all quickly dealt with.
The royal family would not allow such people to continue existing in their kingdoms, and they swiftly took them down by using all the power they had.
The royal guards were dispatched as well, and in a short period of time, everything was settled.
Some strongholds were completely eradicated as well and the royal guards considered it too tiresome to try and take them back from the rebels without damaging them. As there were no civilians inside, there was no need for them to be careful, so they just razed it to the ground, without a care in the world.
"They really don't joke around, huh?" Reign asked with a smirk as he drank some water while Mia nodded her head.
"You can say that again, they went all out, completely decimating those that tried to rebel, and currently, no such people dare show themselves, of course, most are dead as well."
"Things should start looking up for both kingdoms, let's just hope the people from both sides learn how to put the past behind them and live in harmony."
"Aragos will be important for that I take it?"
"Yes, as the grandson of the king of Elais and the nephew of the king of Irason, he is one who can be a bridge between the two kingdoms."
"He was the reason the war started, and he might very well be the reason why peace was finally present, a bit ironic, wouldn't you say?" Mia asked Reign who nodded his head.
"I truly feel for that guy, I mean, his very birth was such a significant event in this region, and he had grown up with a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, not to mention his mother who was left in a dire state after she was attacked."
"Oh, I heard she is actually better now." Mia suddenly said as Reign glanced at her with slight confusion.
"Yeah, after hearing of how Avargan was dead, they said she actually smiled for the very first time in 20 years, and later that day, some people found her walking in the royal garden, looking better than ever."
"It's as if a curse had been broken for her, I mean, she still isn't completely fine, but it seems her mental and physical state is getting better."
"I see, it was probably the hardest for her when I think of it again." Reign said with a somewhat sad smile.
"She was suddenly assaulted at night, and then given a drug that sped up the pregnancy so quickly she gave birth in only a day or two, leaving her almost dead."
"Her physical and mental state deteriorated immensely, and she barely remembered a thing."
"And even then, she knew enough to say the one person that attacked her looked like the king of Irason, but wasn't him, and she was not believed by anybody except for Iscandar, and later Aragos as well."
"It must feel good to learn that people finally realized you were speaking the truth for so long, and that things were finally good."
"I can understand why she is better than ever right now, for her, it probably does feel like a curse has been broken."
Mia glanced at Reign with a smile before nodding her head.
"Yeah, I guess she does feel like that."
"I can't even begin to imagine how she must have felt for all these years, it was probably as if she was stuck in a nightmare," Mia added with a sad smile before getting up.
"Since you're feeling fine, we should probably go to the king, he wants to see you, of course, I can tell him you are still not fine if you don't want to."
"No, I want to, let's go."
"Oh, by the way, what happened to the others?" Reign asked Mia who shook her head.
"Half died during that battle, as for the rest, well, all of them, just like me, have evolved already."
"Some went back home, and some stayed back, they wanted to see you and say goodbye, Theron is still here, as are Seraphina and Nayle."
"I see, I guess I should probably go talk to them and then go evolve as well." Reign said with a smile as he walked out of his room with Mia before making his way to the throne room.
The guards who saw him and Mia along the way were shocked and quickly saluted the two while staring at Reign, They recognized him, they just didn't expect to see him that soon.
Some of the doctors who have been treating him came across him during his walk and were shocked at his condition. Some quickly shouted at him, telling him to rest as he was not well, while others seemed to almost faint upon seeing the patient they said would be unconscious for two weeks walking and looking perfectly fine after only 3 days.
And, before long, the two arrived in front of the throne room and entered it. The king was there, as were some ministers and other notable characters of the kingdom.
