Chapter 4 Part 1 "Discussions with the Royal Rose Superiors "

Ace finally arrives to the Rose Kingdom along with Alice and Natasha.

They also headed to the adventurer Guild to see the condition of the Guild during its abandonment.

A little while later they reached the adventurer Guild and there they were greeted with great fanfare by the guild staff.

The guild staff even made a party to celebrate their return.

At first Alice who seriously refused the party but because of the persuasion from Ace finally Alice was forced to agree to the party.

They also had a party that day.

The next day, the situation in the guild returned as usual where the guild staff were doing their respective duties.

Including Ace, during Ace's long departure means his duties are also stacked.

Even now Ace was flabbergasted to see his tasks now that were already very much piling up.

During Ace's work assisted by Alice, he complained several times and tried to laze but Ace was always reprimanded by Alice to finish the task immediately.

On that day, Ace with a face full of compulsion did his job while constantly complaining.

A few days had passed, Ace then managed to stabilize his task like a regular portion.

Because his current task is not as much as a few days ago Ace then spent his rest time by going to meet Oriana who is currently staying at the palace for his security and all to discuss a matter of course problems with the King.

Ace then arrived in front of the palace gate and revealed his Identity card.

After seeing the card, the guard invited Ace to enter the palace.

Ace then entered the palace with two guards behind him.

Moments later Ace arrived in front of the throne room guarded by several knights.

Ace then entered the room with two guards behind him.

In the room there was the King of the Rose Kingdom sitting on his layover with the prime minister and military commander of the Rose Kingdom behind him.

The king then saw Ace and sent two guards behind Ace to leave the room.

The guard obeyed the order and died.

Shortly after the guard died the room.

Ace did not kneel before the King in any way unlike most people if he met the King.

Ace then said "Yo, long time no see, Arthur "In an informal tone at all.

The king said, "As usual, your attitude is very disrespectful at all, what if anyone saw this, they must be very annoyed with you, you know, "With a face full of hassles.

Ace then replied "It's okay, we'll know "Said with a foul tone of the King.

The king said " You did think of it like that but look at your appearance now you look like a man in his 20s for a while I look like an old man in his 40s you know what people look like against this situation "Fullly explained to Ace.

The king responded and said "Surely you will talk about the mess right? " .

Ace then replies "Right once " .

The king then said "Then we should go to a more closed room ".

They then went to a room where usually the King to do a secret meeting with someone.

Ace then told them the details of the mess.

Adam then responded to Ace's story by saying "So, what are we going to do next? " In a tone full of anxiety about it.

Ace then replied "We must further tighten our security because the Kingdom itself has been attacked several times by the organization "With a serious face.

The king then added "It's true, but you remember Ace we've done that too but it's still lacking to overcome the chaos of the witch's chaos right ".

Ace replied "It is true that it is still lacking that is why we must direct that army at every point in the Kingdom which is prone to chaos "By thinking of an army.

Alex then responded by saying "You know Ace the reason why the troops weren't assigned all this time "With his cynical gaze.

Ace responded by saying "Of course I know that but how else is it the only team we can count on against that organization " With forced face.

The king then began to consider it and finally decided.

The king then said "Adam, order the Black Rose army to move as soon as possible "In a firm tone.

Adam respectfully replied "Ready, Your Majesty ".

The meeting ended with that decision.

After that Ace then prepared to go to Oriana's place.

Little info about Black Rose's army.

The Black Rose army is one of the troops in the Rose Kingdom which is an army that is very secretive of its existence from people even there are only a few people who know of the existence of this army.

The Black Rose army is also the strongest army in the Rose Kingdom which is currently led by the former of one of the rose knights in the past and is also known as the strongest rose knight of its time.

Although it is the strongest team, though, black rose troops are very rarely assigned because this army when on duty does not care about anything other than its duties which consequently sometimes endanger the people and sometimes even destroy facilities to complete its mission.
