It was two days after the duel between Rogen and Venjie. Rogen has fully recovered his strength, but he still has some bruises, left in his body especially in his head after receiving multiple headb.u.t.ts. He has still some bandages covering some parts of his body.Rogen was preparing for the meeting that will happen today, at the royal palace. He was wearing his clothes, he wore a well-tailored expensive suit. He looked at the mirror and saw his left cheek covered with a bandage. He said to himself, [ Well at least I couldn"t look worse.]
Rogen then was followed by Sgt. Paul, and Cpl. Vohein, as his escorts and bodyguards. The trio got in the humvee and went straight to the Palace. Alvarez, on the other hand, wrote his daily written report with his diary.
*****
At the Palace several carriages we"re entering the gate which was all accompanied by their knights. All the carriages we"re luxurious and had their own crest embedded in the doors and back.
King Danilo, Prime Minister, and Prince Eric were all waiting for the carriages pa.s.sengers to get out. They were also accompanied by maids while they were waiting.
The first carriage stops in front of them, a chubby man with curly blonde hair, with blonde mustache got out of the carriage. The man looks in his fifties, but you can see in his eyes that he still had a lot of energy.
Danilo immediately greeted, " Welcome Duke Rafael, I have been waiting for your arrival. I haven"t seen you since birthday last year."
Duke Rafel replied in a very jolly voice, " Well I have been quite busy this year, so I haven"t been able to visit you too much."
Danilo replied, "That"s ok my friend I"m sure you have done great things of you"ve been that active in your work. I"m glad that you came as we have a very important guest today."
Danilo called one of the maids and told her, " Please escort Duke Rafael to the meeting room immediately."
The second carriage stopped, and a man that has a height of 6 feet and 8 inches tall got out, the man had red hair and scars on his face. The man was also in his sixties, he had a quite scary looking face because of his scars.
Danilo greeted the man, " Welcome general Argus, thank you for showing up in this meeting."
General Argus spoke, " I heard that son of yours has done something stupid. I also heard he got defeated by a stick-wielding man. How shameful it is for the knight academy I as the headmaster of that school is very ashamed of Prince Venjie"s defeat. I accepted this to see the man who defeated the Venjie with a stick."
Another carriage arrived, and what got ou is a woman, who had light blue hair, sapphire eyes, and pale skin. The woman was quite beautiful she was in her thirties but look like in her twenties. Even with her beauty, she lacked a lot of a.s.sets you know what I mean.
King Danilo greeted again, "Welcome Duke Lyra, I have been expecting that you would arrive. How is your father duke Arno, is he still enjoying his retirement from his service?"
Lyra replied, " He is totally enjoying the freedom of having no worries about ruling a fiefdom, he is enjoying himself while I am reading various problems in the fief he enjoys traveling the entire continent. I haven"t been able to focus on my love life, as my former fiancee almost killed me."
King Danilo called a maid as he didn"t want to hear Lyra"s rantings about her life. King Danilo sighed in relief after Lyra disappeared.
He then continued to greet the coming higher-ups, all the higher-ups have arrived after one hour. King Danilo was only waiting for Rogen, after a few minutes Rogen arrived in a humvee.
King Danilo spoke, " Sir Rogen welcome back, all the most influential people in the kingdom are here. I have gathered them to see what are you and Eric"s proposal. If they approved of it the implementation of our plans will easier as no one will be a hindrance."
Rogen nodded and spoke, " Well, I think we should get going as we don"t want to prolong this meeting. I"m sure they"re getting bored from waiting, so let"s go."
They went to the meeting room where 15 people where seated. All of them had a weird look at Rogen. The reason his clothes, and his bruises and bandages which were visible.
King Danilo then gathered the attention of all the people who were in the room, he then spoke, " Well as today I have gathered you all here today, for a meeting. But it is not a meeting it"s a meeting of creating new possibilities for the future of our Kingdom."
"I would like to introduce you to our special guest today, Sir Rogen Adorna, he is a special guest brought my son Eric. You are now currently wondering why am I introducing you to this young man, who you have not seen or heard before. Well, I will tell you later after Rogen introduces himself."
Rogen was thinking what Dariel told him last night in their video chat, [ Rogen when you introduce yourself to the people, you may now introduce our country. Yes, you heard me right we have finally come to an agreement on what the country will be named. the name of our country will be, it is quite embarra.s.sing for me, the name is Dariel.]
[ Can you believe it Rogen it took them 3 days before they agreed to a name and the only name they agreed was my name. Well one of them argued that the country should be named after me, as I am the founding father of our country.]
Rogen introduces himself, " h.e.l.lo, I am Rogen Adorna a guest of Prince Eric. But I am not just a guest of the prince, but I am an envoy and a diplomat of the country of Dariel."
Everyone in the room was shocked to hear the country named Dariel. Everyone almost did not believe him as there is no history of any country named Dariel.
Eric then spoke breaking the noises of the people in the room into silence. "The country of Dariel does exist, as I have been there for the past month, and believe me or not the country is located, no! the country is the Island of no return itself.
The room became even noisier as they heard the Island of no return. Everyone thought that Prince Eric had become crazy after staying in that country for a month.
One of the officials spoke, " Well how much you tell us, prince, no one can survive the Island of no return as that place is only infested with cla.s.s B and above monsters, the weakest monster in that Island is the goblins, but with their number alone they are cla.s.sified as a Cla.s.s A threat."
Argus then spoke, " Young lad I"m not interested in the country where you came from, what I"m interested in is how you defeated the top swordsman of our academy using a stick."
Rogen spoke replying to Argus, " To tell you the truth sir, I did not only use a stick I used my knowledge of martial arts to defeat the prince."

Argus replied, " Well your martial arts is quite a deadly one targeting the eyes and throat of your opponents how disgusting. A Knight value for and fairness in combat, while yours relied on tricks.
Rogen replied in an angry voice, " well does a knight looks down on someone he just met. Does a knight does not respect a person lower than him? So you are saying a man like Venjie is a proper knight. To me sir you are only protecting your own pride and not the pride of a knight. "
General Argus ignored Rogen provocations, but he was still in a rage after he was told that he cares only about his pride and not the pride of the knights.
Lyra then spoke, "well gentlemen please let us act civilized we are the higher-ups of this country." This was supported by Rafael, " Lyra is right Argus you should calm down, and as for you young man you don"t need to reply to Argus as he is always grumpy."
Everyone was starting to be quiet after the two stopped the commotion of the two people.
