Chapter 188 What It Means To Be A King After The Apocalypse[4]

?What It Means To Be A King After The Apocalypse[4]

[Third Person POV],

Seeing the two in front of him at a distance, the man in his late forties, who was apparently the king Caleb and his teammates addressed in the earth rats den, stopped eating and rested his back on the chair before turning to rest his hand on the arm of a chair and his same hand to support his chin as he looked at the two before speaking.

"Rise," the king said simply, but the speed with which the two raised their upper bodies indicated that they were attempting to prevent the king from speaking further.

This was not out of fear, but out of respect.

This was the respect that a king who was a high ranking human on the entire planet deserved, and if Ace was here in this room, he might have had a reaction because his assumption was correct.

The man addressed as King in the room is actually the Emperor of the Dawn Empire.

Andrew Dawn.

Adara Dawn's father and a human ranked eighth on the human powerhouse ranking leaderboard.

This is a man who is still king even after the apocalypse, and beside him is his wife, the Dawn Empire's queen.

Maybe it's just titles now that the old world they all knew has ended, but in the case of Andrew Dawn and his fellow rulers, even the apocalypse couldn't completely take their title. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

But, in comparison to the past, every ruler realized that it was only in this world that they and their kingdoms could achieve greater heights.

The power they could never have had in their lives, despite the level of technology attained, was easily obtained, and the thing was, this was only the beginning. 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦m

Although they had no idea what might happen in the future, they did know that it was full of possibilities.

Maybe they'll be successful and get what they want, or maybe they'll fail and be forgotten like the ants on the ground.

In any case, the moment each former leader decided to continue and establish a kingdom in this strange world, they were already in a race against each other, and only the strongest would emerge victorious.

But that was the situation of rulers and want tobe rulers in the true world.

Right now, after telling his subjects to raise their heads, King Andrew spoke as he turned to face Caleb.

"I remember you," he began his speech, adding, "but where are the others?"

Caleb calmed his volatile emotions when he heard this question from the one he calls king and replied with the same thing he told Miss Emilia before.

"They're all dead", Caleb said.

When Andrew Dawn heard this, he remained silent for a few moments while his wife stopped eating to listen.

After a while, he spoke again as he turned to his wife to give her an instruction.

"I see"

"Help with their families will you"

"Yes"

Following this brief conversation between the king and his queen, Andrew Dawn returned to Caleb and spoke slowly.

"So, where is the item?" he inquired.

Caleb knew the time had finally come when he heard this, so he came clean right away without going around in circles.

"We lost it," Caleb said, and just as he was about to explain how it happened, he collapsed to his knees, not from his own actions, but from the pressure that suddenly erupted from Andrew Dawn.

Only when he noticed that everyone in the room was affected in some way did he come to a halt and turn to look at Caleb, who was panting on the floor.

This scene continued for a few more seconds before Andrew Dawn sighed and spoke.

"Stand",

When this word reached Caleb's ear, he struggled to stand up, and no one rushed him when they saw this.

For one thing, they knew their king mood wasn't in the best shape right now, and for another, they didn't dare to speak at all.

Caleb turned to face his king with a slight fear written on his face after he was finally able to get back on his feet.

When Andrew Dawn saw this, he sighed again as he remembered the information of the item he gave Caleb and his team to get to the settlement.

....

[Epic Grade Dragon Heart],

If one fuses with it, one can change his race to that of the dragons.

This dragon heart can be swapped out.

(Bound to Andrew Dawn)

.....

This was the item he gave to the four to bring to the settlement, and it was obvious that such an item should not have been handled with such care, but what could he do when he was ambushed just as he was about to fuse with this treasure?

Andrew Dawn was eager to fuse with the dragon heart after learning from the primordial chronicle that if he fused with this reward he received from the high difficulty dungeon he cleared in the true world, he would still retain his human form.

And for a king like him who wanted to be at the top in a world where titles meant nothing and power and strength were what divided everyone, this treasure was very important to him, but he was ambushed.

And the only person who could ambush him was another king.

It hadn't even been a week in the true world when it began to fill up with gunpowder.

Fortunately, he had the burdens he had brought into the dungeon with him to assist him in delivering the dragon heart here.

He wasn't worried that the people would abandon the settlement, and the item could also be only used by him.

He would have given his treasure to his guard to bring here if he could, but he also needed them to defend against the king, who had brought his men with him.

It was clear from this that the four Ace trailed after were chosen by chance, but this was not a sufficient reason for them to lose such an important item.

Caleb realised this, so when Andrew Dawn asked him to explain what happened after they split up, he carefully selected the words in his head before speaking.
