Chapter 148 - Lady Scheherazade

___________________________

---Two days later---

Inside the hotel,

John, Morgiana, and Toto were now fixing themselves as they would about to leave Reim but John told them that he had to visit a certain place first before leaving.

"Master, what place do you want to visit this time?" Toto asked with curiosity as for the past week, she was sure that they already visited almost every shops and infrastructures in the city of Remano aside from some private places such as the Royal Palace.

"Hmmm, I need to collect some interest, you see." John said with a smile as this was really his purpose of coming here.

Morgiana heard what he said and knew what he was talking about after recalling what happened back in Artemyra.

"Ohhhh, what is it?" Toto asked as she thought that it must a shop or something after hearing that he wants to collect some interest.

"There no need to as they were already here to fetch me." John smiled which a sudden voice then could be heard outside the room.

"Good day, Mr. John. Sorry for disturbing you again but we really couldn't help it this time." The same beautiful woman who disturbed them before said which after that, three familiar faces then entered the room.

"It's nice to see you again, John, King of Artemyra." Muu Alexius greeted together with two other person with while looking at John with seriousness.

"Nice meeting you again, Alexius." John greeted which Toto immediately got surprised seeing one of the strongest person in Reim Empire entering the room but she was more surprised to hear that John was actually a King.

"Then, do you want fight again in this place or do you want me to follow you?" John amusingly asked thinking that they really picked this time to see him despite staying here for a week.

Upon hearing, Muu Alexius and the two other person with him got angry a little by his words and the way he said it but they could only swallow it in knowing that they really weren't his match.

"Sadly but we don't have the strength to confront the King." Muu Alexius replied while looking at John. He don't know what kind of power John had as they didn't really had a fight before but just by looking at Morgiana on his side already gave them a conclusion that they will badly loss again.

"But we would like to have your time if you have some." Muu Alexius respectfully said as this was their purpose of coming to this place.

"Hmmm, perfect then." John said which right after that, he then told the Morgiana and Toto to stay behind and wait for him which they could only reluctantly agreed.

John together with Muu Alexius his two other companion then leave the hotel heading towards the royal palace.

"Morgiana, is master really a King?" Toto suddenly asked wanting to confirm if it was really true.

"Yes, and in a beautiful country at that." Morgiana replied as Artemyra really was a very peaceful and beautiful place to live in.

"Hmmm, really?" Toto said while getting excited as this was the first she heard such thing.

"What do you think the Royal Palace wanted from master?" Toto asked while thinking why the captain of the Fanalis Corps wanted to take John to the palace while also feeling that he's afraid of something.

"It is because Reim tried to invade his country a few months ago." Morgiana replied before organising the things that she had.

"Heeeee, wait!! What??!!" Toto then just realized what Morgiana was trying to say before moving closer to her wanting to know if she's telling the truth.

Seeing Toto acting worriedly, Morgiana then told everything that happened that time which Toto listened carefully wanting to know all the details.

Reim Royal Palace,

A place which a word beautiful fitted perfectly seeing how grandiose and menacing it was but right now a heated atmosphere could be felt inside as a group of people could be seen sitting while staring at each other.

"Its nice to see you, John, King of Artemyra, welcome to Reim Empire." A lady with small stature greeted seeing John for the first time but she really couldn't tell if he's powerful or not as if something was blocking her from looking at him.

"Leave the pleasantries, Scheherazade, as I don't want to talk to someone who ordered to invade my country." John said while waving his hands not wanting to waste time and wanted to get her to the main point.

"Y-You, how can say that to Lady Scheherazade." One of the three person inside got furious seeing John was acting with disrespect but the other person beside him stopped him all at once.

"Don't butt to an adults conversation here, a King vessel who can't even Djinn Equip." John said with a mocking look seeing the person who just became furious as he knew who it was.

"Y-You." The man already wanted to kill John right now seeing him mocking him even without knowing where he heard and know that.

"Nerva." Lady Scheherazade called out his name which made the man immediately calm down seeing her opening her eyes while looking at John.

"Reim Empire were really quite amusing seeing a person who can't Djinn equip and finally a Magi who was about to die." John said as he switched his attention to Lady Scheherazade as he knew that her life was about to end sooner. She really wasn't a bad person in the series but after they tried to make some trouble on him, his mindset had change.

Upon hearing, the person who stopped the young man earlier already unsheathed his sword ready to attack after finally reaching his limit as John really had passed the boundary this time.

"Wait, Ignatius!!" Lady Scheherazade called trying to stop the man but it was already too late seeing him trying to pierce his trident but instead of worrying they were all surprise to see John stopped his sword attack with his bare hand.

"And also an old man who was using a Metal Vessel. Reim empire will likely start to fall later on if this will continue so how about letting your empire become part of my property." John directly and boldly said before holding the tip of trident tightly and waved it before the old man loosen his grip and was crashed towards the wall.

"Did you know that I just planned to live a peaceful life in my country but just because of the reason that you're being threatened you immediately wanted to invade or destroy it, Lady Scheherazade, I am hoping of a compensation this time." John said in very cold voice as he really wanted to released his anger for some quite time now.

"So, I came to think of it, how about I will make this empire my own. Doesn't that sounds good." John said with a smile while playing the Metal Vessel that Ignatius had in hands while looking at Lady Scheherazade wanting her to feel that her empire really was now being threatened.

"King John, refrain from you absurb action, remember that you're alone in this place." Muu Alexius said as he stood in front of Lady Scheherazade together with the other two ready to sacrifice their life if something ever happens.

"Oooohh, alone you say." John amusingly replied before several shadow soldiers came out from within him surrounding them all seeing some of them were big while some were small, these were some of the creatures that he killed on his journey while some from the creatures that he killed in the Colosseum.

"I'm not alone now." John said with a smile seeing all of them got shocked by this sudden turn of events.

The palace then turned to a great silence after what happened as they were too surprised to see what was happening especially Lady Scheherazade who didn't even knew where they came from and what kind of magic John used.

"Oyaaaa, I never thought that this place would become this lively." A man's voice then echoed inside the palace and interrupted then which several footsteps then sounded before seeing three people entering inside.

"Sinbad." Lady Scheherazade said upon seeing Sinbad surprisingly visited and thought if this would be an opportunity or not as she didn't knew why was he came here for.

"Lord John, No, No, It's more appropriate to call you King John, so we meet again." Sinbad greeted seeing John as he already knew his real identity but his focused wasn't on him but the shadowy figures scattered on the palace.

John looked at Sinbad while also being surprised to him as he also don't know why he's here but remembering what the people back in Qishan had told him, he could only guess that he might have use one of the ability of his Djinn.

"Sinbad, you really interrupted the final part, too shame." John greeted before recalling back the shadow soliders present inside as he looked at Lady Scheherazade seeing her also shocked upon the situation.

"I'll try to visit this place again sometime, Magi of Reim." John said before taking off his leave as he became uninterested all of the sudden.

"John, how about leaving that weapon." Sinbad said while looking at the Metal Vessel in John's hands as he knew that it wasn't his.

John looked at the Metal Vessel on his hand as he thought that he could take it out with him but thinking about what would happen in the future, he then just threw it back to its original owner.

"I'll be taking it sooner so keep it safe for me." John said before suddenly disappearing in the place by using Shadow Exchange.

"And one more thing, I'll be taking yours too, Sinbad. So until then." John's last words echoed before finally vanshing into nothingness.

Hearing John's words, Sinbad couldn't help but frowned before calming down as he looked towards Lady Scheherazade and the others.

Hotel,

Toto could be seen alone in the room lying on the bed while waiting for John to return as Morgiana was taking a bath.

"Master." Toto murmured but to her surprised a voice replied to her.

"Are you calling for me?" John asked after appearing directly inside the room that they were staying in.

"Master!, I thought you won't be back." Toto said as she jumped up and hugged John as she thought that a figh might probably broke out soon.1

"Hahaha, of course I will be back as I still didn't pop your cherry." John replied before pushing her towards the bed and pinned her down.

"Are you worried?"John asked seriously while looking at Toto's eyes.

"Mmmm." Toto shyly replied seeing John suddenly became serious.

"Thank you." John lovely said before blocking her lips and directly forced his tongue inside her mouth.

Feeling John's tongue wanted to open her mouth, Toto then immediately let him in which the two then started coiling their tongues inside wanting to dominate the other.

The two keep on having a passionate kiss while John's hands were already underneath Toto's clothes as he started squeezing her breasts directly.

After a while, seeing Toto already drown in lust, John then broke out from the kiss and stop kneading her breasts.

"J-John." Toto called out his name directly while looking at him with her lost eyes while thinking why he suddenly stop.

"Toto, I can't wait to break you completely but we have plenty of time to do it. For now, let's leave this place first." John said which he then picked her up and carried her towards the bathroom and joined Morgiana inside.

Reim Royal Palace,

A heated discussion was happening inside the palace after John left as Sinbad was the one who was now with them.

"Sinbad, I didn't have any notice that you would visit the Empire. What's the you purpose of coming here?" Lady Scheherazade asked looking at Sinbad seriously while her mind was still occupied by what happened earlier.

"Aside from that, why did John came here as it looks to me that something wasn't right." Sinbad said thinking about what connection does John have with Reim.

"Do you know him, Sinbad?" Lady Scen frowned while asked seeing Sinbad knew about John seeing that they greeted each other earlier.

"Yes." Sinbad replied but he only knew about a few and not totally who he really is.

"How much do you know about him." Lady Scheherazade asked looking at Sinbad as as far as she could guess they knew more about him than the others.

"Instead of that, why not answering my question first." Sinbad evaded the question as he doesn't want to share the information that he had as he was more concern on what John was doing in here.

Hearing Sinbad, Lady Scheherazade looked at at him with seriousness before finally telling him the truth which he then started talking about what really happened in the past months.
