Tohrei was in the crystal for 5 months, the time Tohrei experienced was longer than others. Others were worried because of Tohrei's lack of time, but they were now able to breathe a sigh of relief because Tohrei had come out of the crystal.
Tohrei had absolutely no evolution in his magic. He only got a reply adding 7 levels to his status.
Like the previous material, the class is closed after the material has been completed. They were closed for a whole week.
Tohrei used that empty time to go to the imperial palace, to talk about something that had been his goal ever since he came to the Aelion empire.
The alliance between Ashfriet and the Aelion Empire. Tohrei went there alone.
Arriving at the outer gate of the palace, two spears blocked the gate, holding the two spears was the gatekeeper.
“Stop there son, what are you doing here? This isn't just any place you can pass by at will.” Say one of the guards out loud.
Each of the two guards was of a fairly high level, at least they had levels above 170.
“Sorry that this is going to be a rough way, I guess if I talk about it well it won't work out, so I guess I'll use it this way.” Tohrei activated his skill.
“, you, tell the empress that ashfriet lord will come to see her.” Tohrei pointed his index finger at the left guard.
The guard without saying anything else directly obeyed Tohrei's orders, because it had been mastered by the regnare skill.
“You? What did you do to him—?!”
“You stay here.” The right guard was instantly immobile, speechless and unable to act.
Not long ago the guard he had asked for had now returned. “Empress has approved ashfriet lord visit, I will guide ashfriet lord to noble place.”
“That's me.” Tohrei walked with the left guard.
“Oh yes, forget everything you remember about this yes.” Tohrei said to the left guard. He then followed back from the left guard to the place of the queen.
They went in, but their direction did not go into the palace, but toward the palace garden so wide.
‘What empress is here?’ Inner Tohrei when he realized the direction he was being led was not towards the palace.
“Yang Mulia Empress is there.” They stopped, not far from them sat a woman surrounded by flowering land and covered by a wooden roof.
“OK, you may return to your duties, forget what has happened now.” Tohrei's word to the guard, makes him return to the gate and regain his wits.
Tohrei walked slowly towards the woman. The woman stared at the flowers with a look of solitude.
“Have you been there, lord of ashfriet? Or can I call it Dik Rei?” He turned his head towards Tohrei, noticing the whereabouts of Tohrei heading towards him.
“Dik Rei...? Do you know that name from Eri?” Tohrei was a bit surprised when the Empress mentioned that name.
Mary Annaviel Aelion, emperor of the Aelion Empire. She is the only female emperor in the history of Aelion and apart from that, she is the mother of Eriana Viel Aelion, a childhood friend of Tohrei.
“Let me, guess, you're here to discuss the alliance, right? Then sit here.” Alleged Empress on the arrival of Tohrei.
“You're very right, your highness.” Tohrei sat on the chair as soon as asked.
“You don't need to be that formal, I know how difficult it is to set your sentences for a formal conversation.”
“All tricks will not escape my eyes, the mask you wear is useless.” Say Mary casually.
The Empress had known that the Ashfriet Lord was Tohrei ever since the letter was sent. Even before that he already knew Tohrei was a friend of Eriana.
It was because of his extremely rare skill, it was a skill that was obtained only on the blood of Aelion descendants. Yet only one in a few hundred years can have that ability.
“It was very awesome, Empress.” Tohrei could only faintly smile knowing his identity had already been discovered.
“Amazing? Then what about your ability to control those guards?” Ask Empress.
“Gh, you even realize that? Did you even realize my existence before I approached you?”
“Yah can be said so.” The Empress did not dodge Tohrei's words.
“Then it seems that it is time we talk about Ashfriet's alliance plan with Aelion.” Tohrei now goes to the core of the discussion.
“Yes, so..., what do you mean by this alliance?” Ask the Empress in a soft voice.
“Before, I wanted to ask, what is the status of monsters for Aelion Empire?” Tohrei asked before heading to the deal.
“Monster is an enemy to this empire because they are quite uncontrollable, for now only tamers can take care of the monsters.” Said the Empress answered briefly about the question expressed by Tohrei.
“This is one agreement in this cooperation, peace with monster.”
“Peace with monsters? Hearing you say that means you can sort of tame monsters? Or like a skill to communicate with them huh?” The Empress questioned this deal while surmising with a faint smile.
“Yah..., guess you are right, I have the skill to communicate with monsters. The language of monsters cannot be understood by humans, unless you have the language translation skill.” After saying that, Tohrei spoke again.
“But did you ever think that monsters could learn human language? I tried to do that.” Tohrei said it lightly, as if teaching someone was very easy.
“And did it work?” Ask the Empress curiously.
“Yes, it worked, but I only managed to teach some monsters with human-equivalent intelligence level anyway. Well, however not all monsters are evil, in my way it is not impossible for the Aelion empire to reconcile with monsters right?”
“Interesting, that way, it means the enemy can be reduced. It's a very big deal, what do you want in return for this?” Empress knew how powerful the monsters in Ashfriet forest were, so she certainly knew the advantage of making peace with the monsters there.
In fact, if he is hostile to the ruler of the forest, then it means the same as hostile to all the monsters in the forest.
“Turnload? Haha, of course you understand that.” Tohrei chuckled.
‘From that remark, what does it mean that he asks for equal great reciprocity?’ The Empress tried to think reciprocally what Tohrei would want.
“Actually the reciprocity I want is simple, I just want to be able to relate to Eriana peacefully.” Tohrei said softly and deeply.
The Empress paused for a moment, then said something. “Is there any hidden meaning to that sentence? Like a request for blessing to me?”
“Pffftt?!” Tohrei who had calmed down earlier, was suddenly shocked.
“What do you mean, Empress?!”
“Nothing...”
