King Bartholomeo turned around and made his way back to his kingdom."Please follow my father," Prince Arthur asked King Malik and King Baron politely.Inside the castle, there are numerous warriors on both sides of the hallway to ensure the safety of their visitors.King Bartholomeo sat on his throne, and three warrior servants brought three additional chairs for Prince Arthur and their two king guests. King Bartholomeo began their open conversation as soon as they were all seated face-to-face."I am glad that two of my dear friends from other planets have visited my kingdom," said King Bartholomeo, "though I do not believe you wanted to visit me."Prince Arthur looked at his father seriously and did not want to speak, as he hesitated to address their visitors.King Malik smiled and replied promptly. "Thank you very much for your invitation, King Bartholomeo. We are honored to be here in your kingdom before its 40th anniversary.""You are most welcome, King Malik, but please know tha
Outside the Kingdom of Alabama, many warriors were scattered around, and they bowed their heads upon seeing their visitors. Something that made King Baron and King Malik amazed."I feel so secure in this place, Prince Arthur. Maybe we should get back here next time," said King Baron.Prince Arthur paled. "Of course, this only happens once a year, so we are doing our best in order to make it better.""So what part of Alabama do you want to take us first?" asked Kig Malik."To the frozen cave stream, which is located at the back of the kingdom. That is the place where I practiced along with my twelve zodiac warriors.""You seemed to be proud of them, Prince Arthur!" said King Baron."Indeed, I am. They are not only warriors, but they are my friends as well."When they reached the frozen cave stream, Prince Arthur waved his Tizona sword again to remove the thick fog in the area. King Baron's eyes widened in shock. He was amazed that such a place existed in Alabama. "This place is well-h
In Elshor Island, Ammon finds that Charlotte is barking wood. He could see how much she struggled in what she was doing. He drew his feet closer to Charlotte, and she immediately turned to face him upon hearing his foot steps. Charlotte put her katana back in her scabbard and smiled at Ammon."Sorry, how long have you been there before? Sorry if I am doing this, I just don't want to be a burden to you!""You don't have to do that, Charlotte. You're my visitor, so you shouldn't be working. Besides, I don't cook that often, so we'll just be fine without cutting woods.""But, I wouldn't be considered as your visitor anymore. I'm not doing anything right now, that's why I'm cutting this woods.""Please don't think you're a burden, Charlotte. But if you're not preoccupied, I'll help you practice today!""But you're tired from your training, aren't you?""Yes, I am tired, but I will make an exception this time. I want to teach you how to use a sword so you can protect yourself from any dang
"Then I will not force you, but we have to attend the 40th anniversary of Alabama. That very special occasion is something we all eagerly anticipate celebrating, and guess what? Based on what I remembered from what Prince Arthur said, guests from other planets are also arriving. "No, I am not coming, Ammon!" Charlotte refused."And why is that? This occasion is meant to be celebrated in the Alabama Kingdom and not in this house!""I am well aware of that, but I have anxiety in crowded places, so I won't go there!""How about those idiots who are chasing you? What if they come here to harm you?""That's the main reason why I wanted to get stronger. If they wanted to attack me during the 40th anniversary in this house, at least I know how to defend myself.""No, maybe there is more to that explanation. Why do I feel you are hiding something from me, Charlotte? You have been acting so strange since I've come here. I can't fully trust someone even if they look so innocent in my eyes.""A
Ammon walked away from Charlotte to distance himself. "Sorry, I am a real man, but taking your dignity is not my intention. If you truly like me, then we should get to know each other more. I honestly dislike women who take the initiative to have a sexual experience with a man. Sorry, I'm a real man, but taking your dignity is not my intention.""Okay, that is fine by me. At least you have proven yourself worthy of becoming my lover. You have a point. I shouldn't have tried seducing you in the first place, and maybe I shouldn't have given up my dignity to someone I am not married to yet. Thank you for reminding me of that.""No big deal. I respect every woman I encounter, and you are no exception to that. However, I think it's best if we keep a long distance from each other to avoid any unnecessary things from happening. Wouldn't you agree?"Charlotte grinned. "Sure, I will just stay here and wait for your return."Ammon swam the river, and Charlotte was once again impressed by him. "
King Baron continued, "You should be proud of your Majesty for giving his best to train you hard. In fact, this is an amazing opportunity to see all of you in action."Balthazar fixed his gaze on Arthur. "I'm sorry, Prince Arthur, but I'm not understanding what's going on. Could you please elaborate?"Loke asked, "Neither do I. What is going on, Prince Arthur?"Prince Arthur replied, "Zodiac warriors, they are here to witness our final training, so give your best and don't let me down.""There is nothing to worry about, Prince Arthur. We will never let you down," Loke uttered."We are much stronger than before. As a matter of fact, you can summon the dark Phoenix again," bragged Odyseus. "We may not be able to defeat it before. However, it's a different story now!"King Malik put his mouth in King Baron's ear and whispered. "I like the attitude of this Zodiac warrior. He reminds me of my younger self, full of confidence and courage. Perhaps he is the strongest of all of them. What do
For the benefit of his warriors, Prince Arthur persisted in being obstinate and rude. "Father, not unless they fight, we won't know for sure.""Your son is right, King Bartholome. We're not going to do it if I did not see the potential of these Zodiac warriors. Here is my deal: once they defeat my 12 soldiers, I promise to give each one of them 1 ton of gold as a reward. Whichever team loses will face a consequence like executing them here and now!"King Bartholomeo smiled. "Then we have a deal! To be fair, I'm also awarding your soldiers with tons of gold once they win against the Zodiac warriors. Not only that, I'm also permitting them to kill their enemies.""Father that is beyond me. My Zodiac warriors have the right to choose whether they want to fight or not.""We are ready to fight until our last breath. That is our duty," said Alexander. "Although I don't think I am ready to die yet. My future wife and our baby need me, so rest assured that I will show no mercy to my opponents
King Abaddon took the Tizona sword in the hands of Prince Arthur. "This sword has been the scariest thing that happened in my life. Therefore I need to get rid of this as early as possible."King Malik and King Baron tried to land an attack at King Abaddon. However, he vanished along with Elizer.Prince Arthur rose to his feet while his father almost cried and went down on his knees. He was still shocked with what just happened. "I can't believe it. I let my guard down? I am the most powerful in this nation, yet I could not even defend myself."King Baron went down and rubbed the back of King Bartholomeo. "This is not your fault, I now realized that King Abaddon is way stronger than any of us. What are you going to do now?"King Malik raised his voice in anger. "That was actually the first time someone lay a hand on me. How annoying!"King Baron looked King Malik in the eye. "You're right, I couldn't even imagine what was happening because everything happened so quickly."King Barthol
