“Greetings, King of the Potterland kingdom. Welcome to the great Tarot empire,” Greet Slime Oz.

“I-It’s an honor to be able to meet you, your imperial majesty. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Edrich Potterland, I’m the crown prince of the Potterland kingdom that will soon take over the place of my foolish father as a king,” Replied Edrich as he bowed. He’s still feeling nervous being surrounded by so many powerful figures, and despite his young looks, Slime Oz’s charisma made it felt natural for him to sit on the throne.

“The honor is mine, my name is Ren Arken, I am the emperor and the founder of the Tarot empire. Setting aside my identity, how is your journey towards here?” Asked Slime Oz.

“It’s wonderful, your imperial majesty. I keep on getting fascinated and amazed by the great Tarot empire’s beauty and greatness for every second,” Edrich answered honestly.

“Hahahaha! Really? I’m glad to hear that. By the way, it looks like you have a great comrade on your side, King Edrich,” Slime Oz suddenly mentions Lexus the captain of the Potterland kingdom’s royal guards.

“Y-Yes, he’s Lexus Lamber. He’s the captain of my royal guards, and is my proudest and most trusted comrade,” (Edrich)

“I see… He is indeed a good one… I could see his great loyalty towards you as he’s thinking about every possibility that might help you escape this place with his life as the cost if anything happens here, after all,” Slime Oz said as his eyes gaze sharply towards Lexus.

“W-Wha…” Lexus couldn’t help but shivers when he saw Slime Oz’s piercing gaze. It’s as if his eyes could see everything about him with a single glance.

“It’s a good trait and a wonderful job for a royal guard to do, but it is also to remember that in making an alliance, it is necessary to show the sign of trust towards the other party so that the alliance would be able to last long, Mr. Captain of the Royal Guards,” Advised Slime Oz.

“P-Please forgive him for his foolishness, your majesty. Lexus! Kneel!” Edrich instructed Lexus as he apologizes to Slime Oz.

“It’s fine, King Edrich. What he just did is something that praiseworthy. The fact that he’s ready to sacrifice himself for your safety is enough to win my favor and respect,” said Slime Oz with a gentle smile.

“I-It’s an honor to be praised by you, your imperial majesty.  But please let me apologize for showing such a rude attitude towards you,” Lexus apologized as he kneels.

“Apology accepted. If it was in normal circumstances, we would have you eat breakfast and serve you with our finest culinary and service first before starting the meeting. But since there are tons of things the Potterland kingdom need to do to rebalance its current state, I think it won’t be good if I make you stay too long here, so let’s go straight to the topic,” (Slime Oz)

“Yes, your imperial majesty,” (Edrich)

“Before that, let me introduce you to the other kings of the great Tarot empire. Starting from the one beside me, this is the great prime minister of the Tarot empire, Aegir Cobblestone. He used to be the king of the goblin kingdom, but that position is now taken over by his sister-in-law,” (Slime Oz)

“The next to him is Magra Doomhammer, the king of orcs. Firenze Darkworth, the king of centaurs. Razor Ravenclaw, the king of kobolds. Fedra, the imperial supreme general. Ibra, the imperial knights and guards supreme commander. The imperial magic guardian of the Tarot empire, Gurolf. And lastly, the king of beastmen, Talak Dragonborn,” Slime Oz introduces each one of them.

“It’s a great honor to be able to meet all of you,” Edrich bowed towards all of them.

“Nice to meet you too, young king,” (Aegir)

“Now, let’s officially start the meeting. Gurolf,” Slime Oz called Gurolf.

Tap!

With a single tap of Gurolf’s staff, blue particles slowly gather from the throne room’s ground and form a screen that showed the world map of the Ablux continent.

“Now, let’s officially start the meeting,” (Slime Oz)

**************************************

Inside the royal palace of the Elvenheim kingdom, Azaline slurped the royal tea in front of her as she’s reading a book with a serious expression.

“What? He’s not the king!? Whoa! That’s a good plot twist,” She suddenly exclaims in surprise which made the maids and her friend jumped in surprise.

“Your majesty, Forgive my rudeness, but his imperial majesty, the emperor is currently crossing over our kingdom together with the king of the Potterland kingdom. And you’re also invited into the imperial meeting, are you sure it’s fine for you two to stay here and read novels along the day?” A man’s voice appeared behind Azaline, he is the prime minister of the Elvenheim kingdom that handles most of the kingdom’s affairs.

“If you’re that worried, you can replace me and meet the emperor yourself, Reindell,” Azaline replied indifferently.

“Your majesty… Are you really sure you don’t want to meet him?” Reindell asked once more.

“……………” Azaline remain silent.

“She won’t,” Azaline’s friend that is sitting before her answered in her stead.

“I see… Then I’ll inform the messenger as so, are you going to attend the imperial meeting, Queen Geeta?” Reindell asked Geeta that is calmly drinking her royal tea before Azaline.

“I won’t be attending the meeting too, Reindell. Sorry,” said Geeta with an apologetic smile.

*Sigh*

“Fine, then let me excuse myself,” Reindell bowed and left.

“Whoa… You sure have it tough here, huh…” (Geeta)

“Yeah… He usually goes around saying I am the candidate of the empress and things about an elf’s dignity and stuff… Working together with a 1400 years old man sure is rough…” Azaline sighs.

“Luckily my prime minister gave up on asking me to meet clone Ren after a week. But it couldn’t be helped! It’s very painful to meet his clones! They’re not him!” said Geeta angrily.

“True… It’s not that my feelings have faded, but it’s just that something is lacking from his clones. Even if his slime clone resembles him that much, I still couldn’t sense his presence inside of him… Ugh… Talking this always makes me want to drink, sis…” (Azaline)

“Me too, sis… I wonder when will he wake up…” (Geeta)

*Sigh*

The both of them sigh together.

Losing Oz made the both of them even closer. There used to be an awkward atmosphere whenever they’re together, but now, their relationships are to the point where they tell each other’s problems and stories.

They used to be fine with interacting with just Slime’s clones, but as time flows, they couldn’t help but realize that it felt like they’re only interacting with Oz’s shadows. The fact that they couldn’t meet him directly and couldn’t help anything to make him wake up pains them.

“Gurolf said that he’s in a state where his soul got trapped in other dimensions. We’re either need to try using the hell’s gate and death’s gate or find someone who could use a spatial magic,” (Geeta)

“But we wouldn’t know when will we succeed. Ren, when will you go back…?” (Azaline)

*************************************

“World invasion!?” (Edrich)

“Yes, and not only ours, but they’re also trying to conquer the other worlds like the undead world. Not only your father but there are actually lots of other kingdoms that are also manipulated by the demons,” (Slime Oz)

“Eradicating the demons and those who helped them is our top priority. One of the reasons for this imperial meeting is to officially accept you as a part of the empire and to inform you about this,” (Slime Oz)

“The world is in great danger, I even couldn’t say that the Tarot empire is at a safe state, either. We’re constantly get attacked by demons at our southern territory where the undead kingdom exists,” (Slime Oz)

“And since you’re a human and you’re the only human king that kingdom had decided to join hands with us, there will be a lot of operations that will be based on your kingdom,” (Slime Oz)

“For becoming part of the empire, you only need to obey the imperial orders, pay a small tax, and exert your forces for the empire’s good. For now, we’ll give you our greatest support to make the Potterland kingdom regain its balance and even further improve your economy and military,” (Slime Oz)

“For starters, let’s remove the corrupt nobles and ministers of your kingdom first,” (Slime Oz)
