Overgeared

Grid destroyed the Eternal Kingdom and seized this chance to build a new kingdom. Emperor Juander of the Saharan Empire had already seen reports of this, but didn’t respond. It was an attitude of not being interested in such a trivial matter.

Grid inherited the power of a legend and was steadily expanding his reputation throughout the continent. But so what? There were countless talents in the empire that were comparable or better than Grid. He didn’t have time to care about a person who would soon self-destruct.

“That’s what His Majesty said.”

1st Prince Roland smiled. 2nd Prince Dulandal confirmed that his teacup was empty, signalled to the maid and asked.

“Brother, what do you think? Can we leave Grid unattended?”

Roland lifted the cup that the maid had replenished and nodded.

"I also know that the force of a legend transcends the human category. But in the end, that’s the power of an individual. He can’t afford to go against Saharan, our great empire which dominates the continent.”

“There are many people in the empire that transcend the category of a human.”

“That isn’t all. In the first place, Grid is a traitor. The royal families of other nations can’t tolerate his existence, since he won the throne through resisting the royal family.”

"Acknowledging Grid will have an adverse effect on the people. Other kingdoms will hope for Grid’s destruction.”

"That's right. They will constantly oppress him and keep him in check. Grid and the kingdom he builds will self-destruct.”

1st Prince Roland and 2nd Prince Dulandal. They were the children of Empress Aria, who left the world six years ago. They were highly likely to be crowned as the heir due to their abilities and adaptability However, their positions had greatly reduced in recent years.

It was because the emperor’s favorite, Empress Marie, politically isolated them. The trend in recent years was 4th Prince Edan. There was much talk that Empress Marie’s son would be become the crown prince.

After Eternal’s royal family had been destroyed. Apart from the Saharan Empire, the royal families of the 15 nations gathered together. The place of the meeting was in the Gauss Kingdom, located close to the Eternal Kingdom. The king of the Gauss Kingdom, Cactus, opened his mouth.

"I’m thankful that the princes of the prestigious nations are gathered here.”

"It’s an honour to meet King Cactus.”

"My father asked me to apologize for not being able to attend personally.”

The atmosphere of the meeting place was cheerful because they were in accord. The reason for gathering was to discuss the Overgeared Kingdom which would soon be established.

"There must not be peace for a kingdom that a rebel has established.”

“That’s right. There’s no glory for rebellion. We need to ensure that our people know this.”

"The Overgeared Kingdom must be destroyed quickly.”

"Thus, we should put pressure on it.”

"Of course. We won’t be establishing diplomacy with Overgeared.”

"That's right, that's right. We have to isolate the Overgeared Kingdom and make them self-destruct.”

The princes of the kingdoms spoke. There was a smile on the face of King Cactus, who looked at them as if they were cute. It was a smile that fit well with the appearance of a toad.
