    Chapter 58: The Royal Ball Continues? by Harem-Fan

    Leonardo, seeing his rival arrive, just sighed in his heart...

    "Greetings Queen Argus, I hope you enjoy tonight''s Ball."

    "Greetings King Lucas, I am glad to take part in our gathering... It has been a few years."

    The two pale-blue eyed leaders of white hair and black hair, collided their gazes, and then smiled with their own thoughts...

    -

    Salem Argus, the Mage Queen''s twin Brother seeing this, only shook his head. His similar looks to his Queen Sister gives him a softer male appearance, of a weak man that has never lifted a finger for hard work in his life.

    Despite his frivolous appearance and tone, he is known by the West and Northern people as a kind and unfortunate man.

    Regardless of him being the first Male Caster in all of Human history, followed by the now dead father of the current King Windless, Salem has a poor status in the Southern Kingdom.

    Even being the Queen''s younger twin with Magic, he only has a noble rank of [Magician], a title only given to women in all three Kingdoms. And to make things worse, he is not allowed to take a wife, and instead has many Letters of Intention relationships with powerful Noble Magic using women, who sleep with him for children.

    This man, untainted by his Ice Element, is a closet romantic, and only wants to find love and marry. His position many men envy, he secretly hates. He only dreams of becoming a Strong Ice Knight, fighting on the front lines and having a loving Harem.

    Hearing about Sam Roland, he feels he has met a man who is living the dream he has longed for for over 500 years. Because of his curiosity of Sam, he begged and pleaded with his Sister to bring him along to this trip North. He is curious what his life could have been.

    -

    Salem, seeing the two Rulers have their typical attitudes, breaks the awkward scene by raising his wine glass and toasting Leonardo.

    "Hello again King Lucas, it has been a long time to meet you again. I want to toast you for the North''s current prosperity. On my trip, I have seen much development since the last time I came 61 years ago when Lady Velvet Gale came to become your Queen."

    Leonardo, who actually likes Salem Argus, raised his cup and said.

    "Thanks for your toast, and I invite you to come more often, we are family after all. I welcome you to visit every year in the future, and the North welcomes you."

    Salem, who is getting an annoyed glare from his Mage Queen sister, just smiled awkwardly as he downed his cup of wine.

    The sibling relationship between the two twins is actually good in private, but the status of men is very poor in the Southern Kingdom, and no male is allowed to hold important Government positions, and may only be Knights or Barons at best. Even the Highest Military ranks are held by Magic using women.

    After the two big-shots said their words, Vasco Nano felt his boot-licking time had come, so he raised his wine cup and toasted the Queen and Vera.

    "Auntie Gale, it is great to see you again. I wish you could come to meet Mother more often. I see you still look as young as ever. And Vera, I really missed you. It has been almost 4 years since we played. I toast you both."

    Queen Gale, very happy with the young Vasco who gave her respect, and said back.

    "Thank you little Vasco. I am also amazed you reached the 4th Circle, even before my Vera could reach the 4th Circle. This means reaching the peak of 9th Circle in your short term is almost guaranteed. Vera dear, what do you think of his rapid growth?"

    Vera, who looks down on a mere 4th Circle Knight, because Magic is harder to raise, said tactfully.

    "I believe being the Duchess'' Son, reaching your level is pretty good, but I believe it is just good. In ''our'' North, we have a young man who is both a 4th Circle Swift Knight and 4th Circle Summoner at the same time, so you are most definitely 2nd among first years. But I am impressed none-the-less, because I have yet to reach the level of 4th Circle, cheers."

    As Vera downed her red wine, the others had interesting expressions to her words...

    King Lucas and Salem both had amusement in their eyes.

    Queen Gale and Vasco looked insulted at her words.

    And Mage Queen Argus squinted her eyes, because she had not heard that Sam Roland had even reached 4th Circle Swift Knight. This must have been only possible with Leonardo''s secret help.

    -

    Queen Salinas Argus does not personally hate Sam Roland, but his abnormal Dual-Class of both Knight and Magician is a frightening existence that can destabilize the Southern Kingdom''s rule. Knights are suppressed to mere soldiers and low level officials, and male rebellions in the past have tried to happen, but fighting the might of Mages has led to utter defeat time and time again.

    The Mage Queen doesn''t necessarily hate men, but the upper nobility is controlled by a great number of upperclasswomen, who will never let their power be lost, so she cannot make huge changes without causing a civil war in her nation. Sёarch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    A Civil War would guarantee that the Undead Legion would score a crippling invasion victory if the Kingdom was fighting internally. So without defeating the Undead Lands severely, change in the South is near impossible in the short term.

    Salinas Argus has never told her Brother she hates prostituting him to the Nobles for children, but both siblings have responsibility for keeping their Kingdom safe from falling to the Undead, so they both sacrifice for the Human race in their own ways.

    She can only silently spoil him the best she can, but her cold-pride will not allow her to openly pamper her Brother, stirring up the political friction. Naturally, she knows the world sees her as a selfish, cold, and cruel woman. But as a ruler, she must shoulder this infamy for other people.

    -

    Salem, seeing the gloom in his sister''s and Queen Gale''s eyes at Vera''s words, changes the direction of the topic.

    "Oh, you must be talking about Sam Roland, who not only had Dual powers of Magic and Aura, but is also a Dual-Element... I believe he has surpassed myself and the past King Windless in fame. The former King Windless was a powerful Mage at the 8th Circle, but I am only a 5th Circle Healer with low talent, . Where is this young man, I really want to meet him?"

    [Headmistress Evil Loli must be getting ready and taking longer than expected, for Falbium has yet to descend.]

    A noble female voice with a bit of Elven accent was heard...

    ! And from a white pillar behind King Lucas, a very tall 6 foot 2 inch Vampire emerged, and with her high heels on, making quiet sounds, she is even taller.

    Kayo, wearing a long red shoulderless-kimono with cherry-blossom patterns over it, had her silver hair done up in a delicate bun, with her Queenly demeanor pouring through.

    "My Husband Sam wanted to be early to greet you all, but as the escort of his Master, Evil, he is helpless but to be late. Hello King Lucas, I think I arrived on time?"

    Everyone from the Southern Kingdom seeing the former Elf Queen, subordinate to the Demons, become a Vampire , part of the Undead Legion, appear so openly, causing their hearts to burn in anger.

    King Lucas waved to a saved seat at his table to his right, closer to the empty Desert Kingdom table, next to where Sam''s seat is reserved. He then said in a friendly tone.

    "You are right on time Lady Eon. And I know Evil Loli has an attendance issue, so even showing up is a miracle, ."

    But just as the South Table and Queen Gale were very unhappy with Kayo''s arrival, what she said suddenly hit them out of the blue... And Salem was the first to ask in shock.

    "Excuse me, Lady Eon... Did you say you are the wife of Sam Roland?!"

    Kayo lost her charming smile, and her cold yellow eyes, that recognize their hatred for her past two identities, said bluntly.

    "That is correct, and anyone who dares touch my Husband will make me their life long enemy, but I am comforted to know everyone here is a respectable and smart person. Sam Roland is the man I, Kayo Eon, have been waiting for over a thousand years to be born..."

    Vera, who has gotten to know Kayo, respects her very much, raised her wine glass and said to break the mood.

    "Teacher Eon, I want to raise this toast for your time teaching me well in Rosecrans Academy. With you here, our Northern Kingdom has gained a great and powerful ally."

    Kayo, who was looking at the Mage Queen, remembering their meeting 300 years ago, put on a smile hearing Vera''s move, and lifted her wine glass.

    "You are one of the most talented Magicians in my classes, so I thank Princess Vera, cheers..."

    As the two drank, and before anyone else could inquire, the door announcer was heard...

    [Dakar Windless, Western King of the Anubis Kingdom, and his party, have arrived!]

    At the entrance, a short man wearing rich looking clothing, swaggered in with a shifty-grin, like a rogue that will steal your wealth if you look away. Behind him are two lovely women wearing rich ballgowns, and then two younger students of Vera''s generation...

    The tanned skinned King with short dirty-blonde hair and brown eyes, saw he had arrived last, yelled in a proud tone...

    ", Sorry Leo, but the real Hero always shows last, I am sorry to be late!"

    His first wife, the Queen, is a Kingdom Toppling Beauty with red hair and brown eyes, and looks a bit ashamed at her Husband''s actions. Her pale yellow gown highlights her redheaded charm. With her high heels, she is now a few inches taller than her Husband, but still looks natural.

    Her Daughter, the 1st Princess, is known to a few students that encountered her and her party in the Beast Forest when the Academy started... She is none other than... Western Desert Kingdom of Anubis Representative, Daniella Windless...

    Like her Father, she stands at 5 feet 6 inches tall, and inherited his dirty-blonde hair and brown eyes. She is wearing a sand colored ball gown that is not very fancy looking, and instead looks rather plain, like she does not like fancy gems and decorations.

    When her sharp eyes passed over Kelly, Rando, Franklin, and Chuck, she had no real expression regarding them, as if she was looking for two other people in the crowd, and indeed, she was looking for Freya and Sam. Her eyes dimmed, and she followed her parents to the back...

    Now with all 3 Kingdom''s Rulers here, the party will officially start...
