With Azumi knocking the door to the King's office, a familiar fatherly voice can be heard to let them know that they are permitted to went inside. King Edward know that the one knocking in the door is Azumi due to the unique way that's agreed upon beforehand. 

"We are entering" [Alfin]

Alfin and Azumi enter the office and see that King Edward in the middle of a tea break. He is currently alone in his office with multiple paperwork in his desk. A usual scene for the two of them

"Welcome back the two of you" [King Edward]

With a broad gentle smile, King Edward greet them. The two smile seeing that the king is currently healthy.

"What are the commotion outside just now?" [King Edward]

"Let just say Kniaz being Kniaz" [Azumi]

"And you being you I suppose?" [King Edward]

"Partially correct this time around?" [Azumi]

"?" [King Edward]

"Basically the same thing happen every time they met, Kniaz get mad but this time around instead of Azumi, there are other person that stop Kniaz" [Alfin]

"And they are...?" [King Edward]

Alfin and Azumi look at eachother for a brief period of time, both of them nodded simultaneously before calling forth Aqua and Fizumi and explaining to King Edward about the two highest ethos

"I see now, Aqua and Fizumi I believe, I am Edward Rose, the current king of Kingdom of Raflesia, nice to meet you" [King Edward]

"Same here, nice to meet you" [Aqua]

"You are also master important person, so it's nice to meet you" [Fizumi]

"So can the both of you tell me what happen in Mesembryanthemum?" [King Edward]

"That's the plan" [Azumi]

"It's a long story" [Alfin]

The two of them begin their report. Alfin start off with how they confronted Zlatan slave merchant group on their way to Mesembryanthemum, how they met Ray and Mile, how she managed to find out about the slave merchant connection with the noble and also the church, how Ray and Mile being adopted into the family in addition to Mile and Lady Grais Bangkit, about the cleansing operation, about the branch school and lastly about how they managed to come to the conclusion of a group known as ADA. As for Azumi, he just tell about Mahsuri and also about the god, spirit, ethos and the holy hero and how He, Alfin and Aurora being acknowledge by Mahsuri and finally about Aurora decision.

"To think that many things happen in a span of few weeks" [King Edward]

"I know, it's quite unbelievable when we think about it" [Alfin]

"Nevertheless, that's how it is" [Azumi]

"True" [Alfin]

"And I suppose both of you will try and get the blessings of the other spirit" [King Edward]

"Naturally" [Azumi]

"In that regard father, is there any rumour about our action in Mesembryanthemum floating around?" [Alfin]

"I believe there are quite a few. First about how you are the reason why Duke Hiaccio family took Ray and Mile for adoption" [King Edward]

"And what are your opinion about it your highness?" [Azumi]

"After hearing it from you, I believe that would be the correct course of action" [King Edward]

"I also agree on that one" [Azumi]

"Second about how the church and the holy kingdom of Aster have been protesting to us about their knight, Glimary being captured in our land. I did receive your bird wind golem the day after the incident happened but now I have a more clearer picture about it" [King Edward]

"This will cause a serious strain between the two countries" [Alfin]

"Naturally, but I won't blame you, it's obvious from your story that they try to bribe our noble to pledge loyalty to them, thus plotting something behind us" [King Edward]

"Yeah, but I still haven't received any report from him" [Azumi]

"Same here, but next time Either of us meet him, we can just exchange this information" [King Edward]

"Should I travel to Kingdom of Aster and see what's happening there right now?" [Azumi]

"I'll let you know later, as usual, it's depending on the situation" [King Edward]

"Understood" [Azumi]

(Both of them really doesn't want to leak this person identity, now I am even more curious) [Alfin]

"When the time come, we will tell you more about this person, so don't worry too much about it Alfin" [Azumi]

"!" [Alfin]

"Moving on, I believe as of now, it's best to leave this matter to the Prime minister, of course I would also personally involved in this matter. Just keep in mind that I would request the both of you to also participate whenever needed" [King Edward]

""Understood"" [Alfin, Azumi]

"And lastly, there have been rumoured here and there regarding your meeting with Mahsuri, well most of them are only vague rumour and they can't ascertain about this rumour, much less about the two of you being the candidate for the holy hero" [King Edward]

"I see, and how did they react?" [Alfin]

"Mostly in disbelief" [King Edward]

"That's good" [Azumi]

"But what more important is how the church react to this one" [Alfin]

"They are not very happy about it, as they believe matter regarding spirit should be left in their hand" [King Edward]

"So moving forward, both of us should anticipate even more resistance from them especially when getting the spirit's blessings" [Alfin]

"That's correct" [King Edward]

"Is there any other significant rumour?" [Alfin]

"Not much" [King Edward]

"Should I send a bird wind golem to the Kingdom of Ledang?" [Azumi]

"I will write an official letter first, and once done I would leave it to you" [King Edward]

"As you wish" [Azumi]

"Before the both of you leave, may I know what's your plan moving forward?" [King Edward]

"We are thinking of searching the whereabouts of the other spirit first" [Alfin]

"I see, then I wish the both of you goodluck. Just rest first for today" [King Edward]

"We will, thank you father" [Alfin]

King Edward response with a smile
