Emperor's Castle, Imperial Capital Beastman Marhamzan.
Afternoon.
Laciel was walking back from the underground library after getting information about the Eastern Castle as well as the founder of the Great Imperial Zaenia and Emperor Continent. Many things had happened, and so had the information received by his brain.
Moreover, all of that information was the only way to get the answer he wanted.
“If this is the Eastern Castle, then, doesn't that mean there are still other castles like this in other parts of the world?” laciel asked while he was still inside the underground library.
“Yes, Your Honor. There are four other castles that are the same as this one. Of the five, only four remain in the present day. One of them has become a ruin, namely Central Castle,” he replied.
“This is East Castle. The castle guarded by the Beastman Emperor. Then there was the Southern Castle which was utilized by the Kavizen Theocratic Empire. The Western Castle by the Demon Great King. And the Northern Castle is still under the rule of the Great Empire of Zaenia,” he explained.
“This is a library, ‘kan? Digital anyway. Is there a way to find something with ... you know? Posts?”
“Here, Your Highness.” The beastman walked to one side of the library.
On the other side there is a part that looks not symmetrical with the other part. There was a tablet with a keyboard like a computer after the Guide did something. Activated it.
Afterwards, Laciel typed up quickly. The first keyword he was looking for was “Laciel Lucifer”.
“Puft! Of course there won't be, ‘kan?” laciel exclaimed when he saw that the answer he was looking for did not exist. ‘I am a newcomer in this world. So surely there will be no trace before.’
He also tried to find one-on-one. The result is the same. The beastman behind him only watched in silence.
Then, Laciel searched with another keyword. “Game Zaenia V”.
The outcome?
[Wanted Data Not Found]
There is no data at all that stores or mentions information about the Zaenia V Game. What is shown below are results from similar searches. From the keyword “game” appeared many children and adults games from recorded history thousands of years ago to the latest today.
Laciel was in shock. He thought he would get the answer soon.
‘The name of the game I played and the name of the Empire are the same name. Is it just an accident or is there something to hide?!’
“It looks like what I'm looking for isn't here,” he said in a lethargic tone. ‘Padal has come so far. I finally found modern technology, but I did not find the answer.’
[Frank!]
A sound he used to hear sounded. It was a typical notification sound from the Zaenia game.
As he looked back, he saw a blue digital screen floating in front of the face of the Goat Beastman.
“What is it?” ask Laciel.
“Oh, this? Can you see it?” ask the Beastman.
Laciel nodded in response.
“This is the given screen of the system built by Zen I. The same system with the system that Emperor Leo wanted to destroy,” he explained.
“System?” Laciel did not understand.
“This is a system that can be used by anyone who adheres to the belief of Zainism, a belief that is widespread throughout the continent of Zaenia, in particular, of course, the Great Empire of Zaenia. And to break away from this system, he just needs to change his trust. However, once he was entangled into this system, he would fall asleep and not want to change his confidence.
“By the way, I got word that a Board Meeting was being held. Would you like to attend?”
There's a lot he receives. However, it seemed that it was better if he were to talk about this matter together with the others. And so, Laciel walked out to attend the meeting.
...*****...
Laciel walked around daydreaming and only came to his senses when Hazura greeted him at the place where they had split up.
“Is something wrong, Your Majesty?” hazura asked jerking at Laciel's consciousness.
“Ah .. no, nothing. Everything is fine,” Laciel replied.
“Your Majesty, he said that you were invited to the Council Meeting. Would you like to come?” Hazura pointed at a Beastman warrior.
“Your Majesty! You were invited by the Beastman Kings to attend the meeting.” He unintentionally raised his voice in nervousness.
“I'll come along. Show me the way,” Laciel said he paid no attention to the strange behavior of the soldier. He was more immersed into his thoughts for now.

May 11, 1163 Zaenium.
Royal Palace, Capital of Zamara, Duchy Royal Capital, Zamara Kingdom.
Afternoon.
There were many nobles present at the meeting today. Their wives and children held play, tea, and so on. Men are gathering to discuss what the kingdom will do next.
“Ehem!” A Noble sitting near the King cleared his throat loudly. Make the whole room now pay attention to him. “Let's start our meeting this time by discussing a few things. The first was the impact of the attack from the Demon Kingdom of Lucifer.”
Hearing that discussion, most nobles silent a thousand languages while looking down. Some put on angry faces. And others hide the smile of victory. Who else if not the southern nobles who still hold grudges.
“It has been over a month over a week since the incident, and we are still not fully healed, either economically, militarily, or otherwise. We will become easy prey for the Empire,” he continued.
One of the nobles raised a hand.
“Please, Mr. Marquis Harbisium.” He gave permission.
“Thank you, Archduke Damyar. My proposal is, we should recover our military strength as soon as possible. Many merchants are leaving because monsters are more and more wandering, while the number of Adventurers and our soldiers is very little at this time,” said Marquis Harbisium.
The approving murmur also sounded simple. Many nobles also supported him because his troops led by his subordinates were able to survive the Devil's ambush. You could say, his political and military power is in the top position and can get an increase in the position of Duke.
The other nobles raised their hands and spoke after being allowed to. He was the Duke of Varvarus de Canaria. The leader of the southern noble group who was unhappy with the King's leadership was now.
“I agree to Mr. Marquis Harbisium's proposal. We need the military to sustain the economy, and we also need the economy to sustain the military. So, we have to move fast. It was already pointless crying over those who had died,” he said as he glanced towards Duke Zerestia who had lost many subordinates.
“By the way, I just got word if the Beastman Marhamzan Empire is going through an internal conflict right now. Isn't this a good time to attack?” his proposal.
The nobles also talked about the news. They had indeed heard the widespread news. There was chaos and conflict within the Beastman Marhamzan Empire. They will be easy prey for a while.
“Good idea, Duke Varvarus!” said someone similar to the younger version of the King. Prince Zed vin Zamara III. The first and only son. “They should be hunted like animals!”
