Deus: We are all Lords

Chapter 132  Calm

Elsewhere, a young woman could be seen in her large mediaeval room, looking out of the stone window provided as she looked down to her territory.

    A few weeks had passed since then and looking at her territory now, she couldn't believe just how much more developed it was. It wasn't developed enough that it could be called a village or anything, but it now had all the basic amenities.

"I knew he wouldn't be calm about this, you… tell the others to get ready for a search and rescue mission" she said as she turned to the automaton standing just outside the room.

"Yes, Ma'am" the automaton answered as it immediately bowed and left.

      A few seconds later, a small army could be seen standing on the small patch of land just outside the little window. In the small group, several winged creatures could be seen floating and amongst them were the Automatons. Each one gave off auras that put off anyone who came near.

    The winged creatures though gave off a holy aura, their appearance offset it all and the Automatons gave off a cold and almost unholy aura that made even her, rethink ordering them at times.

"I don't exactly know how you will do it but i want you all to search for others of my race, if you do find one, you can confirm their physical condition and report back, do you all understand" She still dangerous" she said happily and feeling incredible proud of herself, she waved them off and went to sleep.

ordered.

"Yes, my lady

"Good though i want like half of you to remain behind, this place is still dangerous" she said happily and feeling incredible proud of herself, she waved them off and went to sleep.

    She didn't need to worry about the specifics of anything because the Automatons had always had it covered. Her angels on the other hand will provide all they can in the situation under the lead of the Automatons.

    As for the other lords, she was sending them after, she wasn't so sure if they would find any of them but hoping on her skill. She hoped they would at least come across one of them. She didn't need to waste her men on protecting another when she can simply give that information to someone who will surely safeguard the people within said territory.

    Just like she had hoped, a few seconds after she left, The Automatons immediately took charge as they quickly divided the work into two and assigned teams to help do it. Minutes later, half of the group was further divided into smaller groups that were immediately sent out of the territory.

    She may not exactly have much hope in finding them but she at least knew that her troops would survive whatever they saw out there.

"Come to think of it, if he can create SSS-rank Automatons then shouldn't he be able to create automatons that specialize in tracking only" she thought before shrugging it off as she focused on her sleep.

      Neither she nor her territory was part of the intended target and though a part of her was worried and thinking about the thousands of children and elderly that will die because of this but like many other lords in the region. She knew there was truly nothing she could do to help but provide information to the man that could actually do something.

    All over the region various lords mobilised their troops in accordance to Kingsley's request. Many did so using the excuse that Kingsley's request had being an order while others did it as a way to repay his kindness.

…

Deus Capital

      The early hours of the morning however the city was still as active as ever. Its streets filled with people both human and native alike. The lights shone brightly as they lit up the city.

      At the very centre of it all, was the castle which just like the rest of the city was active. Kingsley himself could even get a wink of sleep due to pure worry

      Though it had being established that none of his relatives were in the region with him but he still could help but worry. The current situation made things even worse than it already was.

      Previously he took comfort in the fact that the system was protecting his nieces and nephews and assumed that his other family members were smart and lucky enough to survive in their regions.

      However, now things were different. There was no more system protecting them and above all, he had no idea where they were, there was also no guarantee that they would be as lucky as him to room almost empty apart from the Thrones who stood guard all over the room to protect him from any attack.

receive a good ability or even good troops.

    Kingsley sat on his throne completely lost in thought, the throne room almost empty apart from the Thrones who stood guard all over the room to protect him from any attack.

"Your majesty?" a voice called out pulling Kingsley from his inner world

"Yes?" Kingsley answered as he turned to the source, only to see the lean but very pristine looking giant known as Viktor standing at the feet of his throne

Ï came to inform you that most of the governors have left the capital and the rest are assumed to do the same tomorrow"

"Good, what about the native governor?" Kingsley asked

"Sir Black Rock, Sir Teurn and Sir Ganur all left for their respective territories after your meeting with them however Lady Euroa remains in the capital" Viktor replied in his usual formal manner

Ï didn't expect that, did she say why she is still here?" Kingsley asked confused

He didn't understand why Euroa remained behind, He believed that the chance to get your wish granted by an almost omnipotent being is one to die for, but the lady was ignoring that.

"So far, she has yet to give us a real reason as to why she chooses to stay but she remains a guest and Official of Deus, so it is our duty to welcome her" Viktor reminded

"I know… i know, anyway i better get to bed, i am assuming you all have everything under control?" Kingsley asked

"Rest assured, your majesty, the city is in capable hands" A female voice said as Hestia appeared in the throne room

"I see" Kingsley replied with a smile

      Looking at their faces, he could easily tell what they were thinking. Viktor would normally not come back to report such an unimportant message personally, he would send any of his subordinates but it seems they were worried about him.

    Not like he could blame them; he too felt the event had completely impacted or changed his mood for the day. He had literally spent nearly the entire day imagine every worst-case scenario possible for his family members.

    With a soft nod of acknowledge to them, Kingsley stood up from the throne as he got ready for bed. Even though his worry would probably make it impossible for him to sleep, he still intended to go just to put them at peace.

    Kingsley walked to his chambers accompanied by his standard entourage of Thrones. Meanwhile somewhere in the capital, a lady could be seen sitting on top of a roof facing the capital.

"So, when do you plan on introducing yourself?" The lady suddenly spoke… to no one in sight

"Not now… at least not until i understand why you stayed behind" a familiar voice replied

     The voice sounded a bit high pitched and seemed to bring a smile to her face almost automatically however, at the moment, the voice sounded calm which was unnatural

"My intentions are simple, to understand how my new sovereign works"

"And how is that any different from spying on your king" The voice asked

"The difference, my sister, is that i a not watching him, i am watching the capital as a whole" The lady said as she turned back to see a woman in a weird clothing.

      She wore trousers that were held up by some rope or cloth, said cloth also covered up the shirt in which she wore inside, a golden one. Seeing her dressing, a noticeably clear look of confusion appeared on her face as she stared at the newcomer

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it soon" The newcomer replied already knowing what the Lady was thinking, even she knew how she was dressed and even amongst the citizens of the capital, these set of clothes were still weird for a being of her status.

       However, who could blame her, she was supposed to be home resting but turns out not all the governors intended to return and many of them had decided to even return to the capital overnight so here she was.

"You're a Fae…. how could they make you wear such degrading clothes?" the lady asked appalled by what she saw

       She may not understand this sort of concept of clothing, but she knew just from looking at it that it wasn't meant for someone of such authority and power.

"It is still of better quality than all of yours" The newcomer replied as she stood and watched the lady with a proud smile on her face

"That wasn't necessary" The lady said as she turned to the newcomer with a betrayed look on her face

"...."

"Okay, i do have a question though, what exactly was the purpose of today?" The lady asked as she stood up from the roof where she sat

"That… is not within my authority to answer, considering your status, you should be able to get that answer form the King himself"

"It is surprising that even a Fae isn't considered to be part of the higher ups of this nation" The lady said
