The Ruler of the Two Continents
CHAPTER 29 - MEETING WITH THE QUEEN AGAIN

The Drake Fort

Arriving at the village, the General introduces his new troops to his friends there. Some who know their old friends embrace each other.

From a distance Merlin looked bright and spirit welcomed their arrival. Various foods are available.

Everyone gathered in the fortress. They are very happy with the arrival of new troops.

Merlin approached the general who was opening his fur coat and leather vest. He looked at the tired-looking General's face. In the hands of Merlin is available warm drink concoction itself.

“ Drink sir.this can relieve your fatigue. I also made it for others”

“ Ah, yes thank you Merlin” General took it and drank it.

“Let me bring your coat” Merlin's hand tries to take the coat in the General's hand.

“ No, no need.let me just bring your own” refute General without a smile.

Merlin sees something unusual about the General, but thinks the General may be just exhausted.

When Merlin got a little away from the General, he accidentally saw Oris take the mantle from the hand of the man he admired.

Oris immediately took it even though it seemed that the General also refused to be brought along, then Oris brought the general's coat, smiled and passed.

Merlin who saw that was just staring at the bediri, as if he wanted to know what happened to them on the trip yesterday.

They finally enjoyed a busy night. Many of them are still awake when the night is high.

Accompanied by Eldr who wandered in the air at night above the surrounding fortress.

The new troops were shocked to see the sight, but some men explained about the Eldr.

...**********...

A week passed,

The general and some of his friends were in the city center attending a jewelry auction attended by many nobles from several kingdoms.

The event was crowded, many nobles were bidding high prices for one pink diamond belonging to Drake's castle.

The general only observed from a distance, because he felt that he was not good at auctions.

The gallant man stood at the very back row of the auctioneer, he folded his hands on his chest.

Suddenly from the back of his head came the voice of a woman.

“ Long time no see guard Lui.” The general suddenly widened his eyes and immediately turned to look at the familiar voice for him.

Well, she is the Queen of East Gozan.

“ Queen Gozan? “ General staring at Queen's face.

“ It turns out that you have been lying to me all this time..General Luzen.” The queen who stood without looking at the General looked up a little bit of her head.

“ Ah, sorry.but I have reason to do that noble Queen “

“ Hm, yeah.it turns out to be true to my guess, you're no ordinary man. Do you have a kingdom? “

“ Alright, you must have allowed me to pay a visit to your fortress right?” The Queen turned to the General with a smile at the corner of her lips.

“ Looks like my small and not as luxurious as the kingdom is not worth to you to visit the glorious Queen “

“ I am not a person who likes to picky places.I will pay a visit to your castle today “ Queen as if forcing.

“ Ohya, pink diamonds of yours I have bought two pieces, they are very beautiful, according to the price I spent,.” The queen then passed forward, to the seat reserved for the nobles.

The general sighed, as if there would be more trouble dealing with the Gozan Queen.

Afternoon approaching,

All those present at the auction had returned to the fortress, bringing satisfactory results.

They can collect coins many times more than usual just by auctioning some pink diamonds and some other diamonds.

As promised by Queen Gozan, it turns out that he came on that day with some royal soldiers.

In front of the gate was a woman in royal clothes descending from her luxurious horse carriage.

Well, sure enough the General's guess, they are the entourage of Queen Gozan.

The general was reluctant to accept it in the fortress, but he could not possibly refuse the arrival of a Queen.

Finally the Queen went to the General and the others. After the Queen took a look around her, she sat on one of the chairs in the castle hall.

“ May I speak with you four eyes, General?” The queen asked while folding her right foot over her left foot.

The general ordered all his troops to leave the room.

The general sat facing the Queen in the middle of a large and long table.

“ Alright General, I'm straight to the point. My arrival here is to offer cooperation with you.

“ Meaning Her Majesty the Queen? “ General does not understand.

“ Um like this, I will buy all the diamond mining areas in your village.

I will pay whatever you ask, and I will help you build your village, I can also help you build facilities for your fortress, the residents of your fortress who work for me will also pay, how? Fair enough not my offer?.” The queen explained her point.

“ Sorry noble Queen, the mine we have is the biggest asset for our village. Right now we have a lot of troops and citizens that we have to guarantee their welfare, if you take over the mines then everything will fall apart.

Sorry once again, Majesty the Queen, after all we have no intention to sell the mining area belonging to our village, sorry to upset you again.

“ Hmm, I see..., well General Luzen, I am still kind to you, I offer you two offers, first, you sell your mining area to my kingdom, or you come with me and become my personal bodyguard.., hows it? Which one did you choose?…”

The general paused for a moment then stared intently at the Queen in front of him.

“ Is there a third option?” The general is starting to look tough.

“ Hmm, Yes, there is,.The third option is we will smash your fortress and village to pieces”

“ Alright, I choose the choice to three..” The general looked at the Queen with a sharp look.
