Today is the first day of the Five Kingdoms Conference. The event will be held for three consecutive days at the castle of the Cirlus Kingdom. King Leonida had prepared a hall within the castle meant for the conference. The place was specially prepared and given a very tight layered security system.

The first layer was barrier magic formed by dozens of royal mages dan the second layer was the guarding of special soldiers with the strength level of Senior Knight, Sword Master, and Sword Grandmaster. They were powerful mages and soldiers led by a Sword King, Marius Eginhard.

Marius Eginhard is a general in the Aurelia Kingdom and King Leonida's right-hand man. They are old friends with a very strong relationship of trust because they have gone on adventures and fought together on the battlefield. Therefore King Leonida could entrust the safety of the Five Kingdoms Conference to his best friend.

The Five Kingdoms Conference will start after breakfast. Marius had mobilized the soldiers and mages to spread out to every corner of the castle. But most of them remained concentrated in the hall where the event was held.

While patrolling the castle corridor, Marius suddenly stopped his footsteps after seeing a golden-haired girl walking toward him. That girl was princess Freya, and she didn't walk alone. She was accompanied by Aryana and someone who wore a black robe covering all parts of her body.

"Uncle Marius! Are you on patrol?" Princess Freya smiled broadly and greeted him first. She looks close to him because she already considers Marius her uncle. Marius also already thinks of Princess Freya as his daughter. She was still unmarried until now, and only King Leonida knew the reason.

On the other hand, Aryana bowed her head to Marius because he was her superior. Marius smiled slightly and nodded in response.

"Freya? What are you doing in this place? Then, who is she?" Marius smiled when he saw Princess Freya but then narrowed his eyes when he saw the suspicious-looking black-robed person.

"Ah, she is my friend and teacher from the academy, Kalya Venetia. My father knew her too, and I had his permission to let her live in the castle. Right now, I'm taking her for a walk around the castle and then taking her to her room." Princess Freya answered honestly. She didn't need to hide Kalya's identity because her father had already given Kalya permission to stay in the castle.

Ziel came to the Elven Kingdom to pick up Kalya last night. He stayed there all night and returned at dawn with Kalya. At that time, they did not have time to say goodbye to the people in the Elven Kingdom, but Kalya had already written a letter in her room for them.

After Ziel returned to the castle of the Aurelia Kingdom, he secretly went to see Princess Freya and asked for her help so that Kalya could be allowed to stay in the castle. When she saw Ziel, Princess Freya was a little surprised because she didn't expect that Ziel would come to the Aurelia Kingdom with the entourage from the Neigal Kingdom. Princess Freya's expression became radiant after hearing Ziel's request. She felt very happy that Ziel was willing to depend on her, even if it was just a trivial matter.

Princess Freya quickly went to meet her father to talk about Kalya, who was currently on vacation in Oriana city, and asked his permission to let Kalya stay in the castle. Upon hearing his daughter's request, King Leonida immediately agreed without hesitation.

King Leonida quickly agreed because he knew Kalya and his daughter made the request directly. He believed his daughter would not bring strangers, let alone spies, into the castle during the Five Kingdoms Conference.

After getting permission from her father, Princess Freya rushed to pick up Kalya in Oriana city along with Aryana. It didn't take long for them to find Kalya's location and immediately take her to the castle.

"Hmm... Is that so? Can you take off your hood and let me see your face? I'm sorry, but I hope you understand because I have to maintain security at the Five Kingdoms Conference. Your father has given me full responsibility and authority in this matter." Marius looked at princess Freya and then turned his eyes to Kalya.

"That is…" Princess Freya looked to Kalya for her opinion. She cannot decide without Kalya's consent.

"No problem." Kalya nodded and opened her hood.

Aryana and Marius froze when they saw Kalya's face. They were both silent for different reasons. Aryana didn't expect the person in the black robe she picked up to be a girl with otherworldly beauty. She only knew that the person was Princess Freya's friend, but she didn't know what Kalya looked like and what gender she was.

On the other hand, Marius was also amazed by Kalya's beauty. But the thing that caught his attention more was her pointy ears. Marius could confirm that Kalya was a girl from the elf race.

"An elf race? Are you sure you got your father's permission to bring people of other races into the castle during the Five Kingdoms Conference?" Marius reconfirmed Princess Freya's words. He would have believed it if her friend was a fellow human. But if that person was from another race, he couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Of course. I can't lie about it. You can ask my father directly to be sure, uncle." Princess Freya smiled and said confidently. She wasn't angry at Marius' words because she knew that Marius was doing his job.

"I understand. I'll ask your father later." Marius nodded and didn't ask any further because he could see that Princess Freya had not lied to him. But he opened his mouth again after remembering something.

"If you're taking your friends around, please don't approach the hall that will be used for the Five Kingdoms Conference." Marius warned Princess Freya and left the place to continue his patrol.

After Marius disappeared from her sight, Princess Freya let out a sigh of relief. She knew how strict and disciplined Marius regarded his work and responsibilities. Then she looked at Kalya and said.

"I apologize for what Uncle Marius said earlier. Even though it sounds harsh but I can confirm that he doesn't mean any harm to you." Princess Freya smiled apologetically.

"I understand. You don't have to think about that. We'd rather not wander around the place as he had said. Then, can you take me directly to my room?" Kalya feels uncomfortable with people's attention to her when she takes off her hood.

Kalya got stares from the male soldiers and maidservants passing through the corridor. If only briefly without any specific intention, then Kalya will not care about it. But they looked at her for quite a while, and most of them gave her lewd looks. This makes Kalya upset and her mood worsens.

"Yeah, I don't think we need to continue touring the castle anymore." Princess Freya smiled bitterly and started to lead the way to the room reserved for Kalya.

"Is my room close to his?" Kalya put her hood back on and asked Princess Freya next to her.

"No. I know what you're thinking, but you shouldn't do that inside the castle because there are many important guests for the Five Kingdoms Conference right now." Princess Freya said with a blush on her face. Kalya gave a blank look to Princess Freya's words.

"Why? Is there something wrong with my words?" Princess Freya tilted her head cutely.

"You have too much imagination for a girl your age. I want my room close to him, so I can see him immediately when I'm bored. It doesn't mean I have to do that every time I'm with him." Kalya sighed and cleared up the misunderstanding in Princess Freya's mind.

"Eh? Is that so? Then I was the one who had thought too much. So please forgive me, sis Kalya." Princess Freya gave a playful smile. She knew Kalya would not be angry with her just because of what she said earlier. Kalya couldn't help but smile slightly and shook her head.

On the other hand, Aryana was confused by their conversation. Even so, she smiled warmly after seeing their exchange. Aryana was happy that Princess Freya had another close friend besides Princess Aishia, even though she knew they were far apart in age.

Time passed quickly, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The Five Kingdoms Conference had begun and was currently being temporarily suspended for a lunch break. The topics discussed at the meeting still revolved around trivial matters in each kingdom.

At the start of the conference, Princess Cordelia and Prince Fritz were much more active than the other Princes and Princesses. Meanwhile, the heroes listened intently to the contents of the nobles' discussion at the conference. Kyouka and Hikaru sometimes voiced their opinion even if it was insignificant.

King Leonida still hadn't stated his intention to ask King Gustave or the heroes for help. Yesterday, he couldn't do it because King Gustave and his entourage had just arrived at the Aurelia Kingdom and looked tired. He also couldn't say it right now because they were in the Five Kingdoms Conference, and he had to refrain from talking about his matters. Therefore, he was still waiting for the right time to discuss it with them.

The topic that attracted the most attention at the start of the conference was the introduction of the new stealth mode magic technology of the Rubelia Kingdom. It could disguise the magic train with the surrounding space and completely disappear from a mage's radar.

King Leonida frowned upon hearing the explanation about the magic technology. He understood why the Rubelia Kingdom's magic train was never seen crossing the border but suddenly appeared above the sky of the Aurelia Kingdom's capital. King Gustave purposely demonstrated the new magic technology to him and the other kings.

Such magic technology existed long ago but couldn't completely hide the magic train, and the engine's sound could still be heard. Magic technology from the Rubelia Kingdom is claimed to be able to disguise the magic carriage more perfectly and avoid detection from a Magic King.

The Rubelia Kingdom is willing to show their magic technology to other kingdoms because the situation on the Clorius continent is getting more and more unstable every day. Therefore, King Gustave hoped that the kingdoms in the human region could unite and work together to fight the incoming threat. Be it from outside or within the Clorius continent.

King Gustave intended to share magic technology from their kingdom with other kingdoms. But it's not free because they also use money and effort to develop it. The Rubelia Kingdom wanted to exchange their magic technology with other kingdoms, either already perfected and implemented or still in development.

All the participants of the Five Kingdoms Conference gathered in another hall for lunch and sat at the tables provided according to their positions. The kings sat at the most luxurious-looking tables in the place. The Dukes, Marquess, and Earls of each kingdom sat at the table of nobles not far from the king's table. Meanwhile, the Princes and Princesses sat together with the heroes because they weren't that far apart in age and also knew each other.

At the table of the kings, they continued the discussion about the new magic technology that King Gustave had introduced at the start of the conference. King Raghnall, King Jonathan, and King Elrick had agreed to exchange magic technology from their kingdoms. The three kings were interested in the magic technology of the Rubelia Kingdom because it would be very useful if they could apply it properly.

Only King Leonida didn't talk much among the five kings and seemed to be thinking about something. When the conversation of the kings stopped, King Leonida took the opportunity to speak to King Gustave.

"Gustave, can I have a few minutes of your time? I want to talk about a matter that has nothing to do with the Five Kingdoms Conference." King Leonida said in a hoarse voice.

After King Leonida spoke, the attention of the other kings at the table was focused on him. They didn't make a sound because they could feel the seriousness of King Leonida's voice.

"What's going on, Leo? You don't have to be so formal with me. What do you want to talk to me about?" King Gustave was surprised by King Leonida's sudden request. Even so, he still responded calmly.

"My wife has been suffering from a strange disease for years with no known cause. you know about it, don't you?" King Leonida asked. He felt he should explain the matter before asking King Gustave for help.

"Yes, I do. I think I'm not the only one who knows about it. Raghnall, Jonathan, and Elrick had known it too. I think it's no longer a secret to the public." King Gustave nodded in confirmation, and the other kings agreed with him. But King Gustave suddenly raised his eyebrows after thinking about something.

"Has something happened to your wife?" King Gustave suspected that Queen Helena's illness was getting worse. The other three kings also had the same thoughts as him.

"Ah, Helena's illness often recurs, but she's fine now. However, the frequency of the disease relapse becomes more frequent from time to time. The effect on his body also seemed to be getting worse. That's why I need your help." King Leonida stopped his explanation and drank the water before him to moisten his throat. Then he continued his speech.

"I want to ask your help to speak to…" King Leonida stopped his speech after hearing the ringing of the bell echo in the sky of Oriana city.
