Both Ka and I have been healed. And after she drunk some Mana Potions, we left the already empty Arena.


    People have left the Arena, but they are excitedly talking about the fight that just happen. And I can see not just Ang''s team who ended as the winner, but even Jewel and the others from Cassau were also being surrounded.


    "Seems like it will be difficult for you to walk home. Do you want me to use portal?" I asked Ka.


    "No. Carry me through the sky in your arms. There''s no need to hurry back to the hotel. It will be surrounded after all since both teams participating in the final stay there," Ka said.


    "Haha. You lost once so you want to be spoiled?" I asked.


    "If I want to be spoiled, you will spoil me anyway. Let''s treat this as a special event," Ka said.


    Just as she wished, I carried her in my arms as I used Air Steps to run in the air. There are no more people flying in the sky anymore. Those who were on the rooftop to watch the match for free already left.


    Spot is still with Albert as I''m worried if the cult will still try to do something again here. That''s why I can''t camouge myself. Though for those watching us from the ground, they will just think that I''m a wind mage taking Ka home.


    But… because of her poprity now, some people are looking at me angrily. She''s mine!


    Through the open window in the highest floor of the hotel, which is my room, we entered the hotel. We can see many people are down here congratting the champion and the runner-up as well. Some of them also here to see the top five from the poprity contest closely.


    They saw me carrying Ka, and Ka noticed as well. She just calmly waved her hand toward them, and they started screaming non-stop crazily.


    We entered my room and I rested Ka on the bed. I need to meet Albert tonight, but for now, I will take a rest.


    After I wake up, Ka is still there sleeping next to me. seems like Lina or someone enters my room to check on us, and then they left seeing us sleeping. There''s a message saying that I can go down to eat dinner quickly once I woke up.


    Seeing Ka is still sleeping, I left her be.


    As for the others who are injured, Sara, Jewel, Shirley, and Ang as well, someone else must have healed them. I can see that they are gathering in the dining hall just chatting. Luckily, there are no one else other than those who stay in the hotel. Seems like all the fans have left.


    Though I never expected that the twins, Steven and Dwight, are here.


    "What are you doing here?" I asked the two.


    "Oh, Boss! You woke up already!" Steven said.


    "Good to see you''re healthy, Boss," Dwight said.


    "What? Boss? Why are you calling me Boss?" I asked.


    "You''re our boss because you''re the one paying us sry for being thementators. And we''re grateful to you because thanks to you, we have be more popr. I thought we would end up as weakling hunters for life, but we can now be paid for advertising some merchants'' business product in the street. We can retire from being a hunter and focus on beingmentators now," Steven said.


    "But that will only happen if there are fights in the Arena, right? Has there someone who want to make another match already?" I asked.


    "Some merchants are discussing about it. They intend to monopolize the tournament, so it will take a while until they reached an agreement. But Boss, you never told us that the meal here is delicious. If I know about this, I would eat here every day," Dwight said.


    "It''s thanks to my maid. I don''t know about other cooks, but most of the meal here since I arrive were made by my maid. Once we leave the city, I don''t know if the food will taste as good or not,"


    We ate dinner together, and the twins left the hotel after they are full. Ka also has wake up and ate dinner together with us. seems like no one will have permanent injury despite their intense performance.


    But… why are they looking at me? By them I mean Ka, Ang, Shirley, Lina, Sophie, Jewel, Wendy, Fabio, Carmen, and even Hannah.


    "…what?" I asked.


    "You were gone just as the match started, and return while being injured to watch the match. What happened?" Sophie asked.


    "I will tell it to Albert after this. You all want toe?" I asked.


    Everyone nodded. I guess I''ll bring everyone together with me then.


    "What about the children?" Sophie asked.


    "Take them all with us. Have them stay over at his ce together with his children. Let''s go."


    I used portal to get all of us to the ce Albert is staying. And it seems like he''s already prepared for my arrival, together with Kron, Oleg, and Mustache who are waiting.


    "So, how was the capital?" Albert asked.


    I told everyone about everything that happened. And since Candy is at the capital, I asked Sonia if she can return now after telling everyone.


    I brought Candy here with portal and she informed us what happened after I left.


    "The Prime Minister said that he will take care of everything, and Veronica stays just in case there are any remains of the cult. Some parts of the capital were destroyed. Many people died. The guards were unable to react in time, and captured the Prime Minister in the pce. They somehow managed to enter the pce and kill some guards and servants and went toward the Prime Minister without destroying anything," Candy exined.


    "Though some parts of the pce were destroyed because of Veronica''s attack," I said.


    "Yes. The assants, which were ten expert level mages, are all died. They are too strong to be restrained. I''m sorry," Candy apologized.


    "No problem. There are some of them that Roy captured here today beforehand. I''ll ask them if they know anythingter," Albert said.


    "Thank you, your majesty. From our guess, we think that those ten mages were asked to capture the Prime Minister while you are here in Melk. Other than the Prime Minister, they are also going after the nobles in the capital. But some of them are evil bastards who enjoyed killing civilians just for fun," Candy said.


    "I killed two mages who killed civilians, and two other mages who were capturing the nobles. Though I didn''t look for those nobles," I said.


    "They are fine. Because the mages that captured them have been killed, the captured nobles are spared. They were just tied up and unable to ask for help," Candy exined.


    So, they are just like Hector, huh? But that''s weird. If they want to conquer the kingdom, wouldn''t it be best if they kill everyone instead of capturing them?


    "Roy, do you remember Old man Henry''s best friend?" Albert asked.


    Old man''s best friend? I think his name was Russell… that''s right!


    "Someone in the cult is a psychic element who can hypnotize people and manipte them," I said after thinking for a while.


    "That''s probably the case. And since they didn''t do it before, the cause might be because they only have the hypnotist only recently, or the mage can only be trusted only recently after raising them for a while. The cult might think that if Hector and the nobles were hypnotized, they can take control of the kingdom. Or even making them rebel against me. This is getting harder and harder. What a pain…" Albert sighed.


    Having someone who can manipte mind in the enemy''s side is just cheating! Howe I never knew about it? Did I change the future too much? Or the hypnotist in the cult was totally unknown even in my past life. That would be scarier.


    "At least we know one thing," Albert said.


    "What is it?" I asked.


    "The next time they will attack," Albert said with conviction.


    That''s right. If this attack is nned because Albert is away from the capital during the tournament, the next attack will be…


    "…it will happen during the next tournament between kingdoms," I said.


    "Roy, bring me to Varadis and Consenza to fetch those two. Then bring them all to Bernard''s mansion in Arturo where Harold is. Queen Carmen and Fabio wille as well. Let''s go,"


    "You''re not going back to the capital first?" I asked.


    "Bring me there tomorrow with Miguel to make everyone think he''s carrying me home with flying magic," Albert said.


    Before we leave, I returned the others back to the hotel and asked Sonia to greet the other kings before meeting them. Since Harold said it''s fine, I sent Fabio and Carmen first over there to exin what happened and what could possibly happen.


    As for Candy, I returned her back to the capital.


    Today as well, I used portals many times. After getting everyone to Bernard''s mansion, I quickly fall asleep in a room in his mansion without listening to their discussion.


    I only said that I will return them back after I wake up before I fall into slumber.
