Deus: We are all Lords

After a few minutes of unnecessary procedures, Kingsley was finally allowed to come down. Though he felt the procedures unnecessary, he didn't stop it since they made him feel incredibly important.

"Shit!!" Kingsley shouted in shock when the feathered beings known as the Thrones appeared beside him

He knew they would teleport here from the city since they were too big for the K-4 to contain and he doubted they would want to stay in such an enclosed space especially considering that their wings were too big and broad to fit properly into the K-4s. As for why they didn't just fly beside him, it was because the other Monarchs as they are apparently called refused.

"What's wrong, your majesty" one of them asked

"Nothing... don't worry, you guys just lead the way" Kingsley said to the Archdemons who immediately began walking to take their positions to protect him.

Looking at the Elven guards who were all standing guard, Kingsley noticed that all of them were struggling to not bow to him. He couldn't blame them, his [Lord's Might] ability was passive though he could use it actively if he wanted. The ability ensured that he looked like a lord no matter where he went.

This meant that it basically portrays him as the most powerful in the room and at the moment, that room was filled with Monarchs so the pressure on them was immense. The High Elves too had the look of struggle on their faces since they were one of the newer races in the territory so they weren't that used to it.

Taking pity on them, Kingsley reduced the pressure they faced from him and from the Monarchs present. His purpose here wasn't to showcase his powers or his strength, he wasn't that shallow and also that part had already being shown when he conquered the territory without even doing anything.

As Kingsley stood and looked around his new environment, the ground suddenly opened as some wooden tendrils rose from the ground and on them, Kingsley could see a necklace made from flowers. Freezing the Thrones in place before they cut the tendrils, Kingsley bowed a bit as the tendrils placed the necklace on him.

"Thank you… I still haven't forgotten your first gift though, i will make it up to you" Kingsley said to the empty air but the smile on his face made it seem as though there was someone there.

The forest Elves present all had their mouths wide open as they watched the scene. From the fact that he had just stopped four monarchs in place to the fact that the World Tree had shown interest in him. They had lived in this nation for decades and never had they seen the World tree actively interact with anyone… not even the Queen.

Kingsley saw their shocked expressions and smiled since he knew he had fallen for the cliche main protagonist situation. He was interacting with a being they held in incredibly high regard and talking to it as though it were some friend, Kingsley didn't like it but it was what it was. He simply unfroze the Thrones and they all began walking down the purple carpet.

The group walked down the purple carpet until they reached a fence and beyond it, Kingsley could see the World Tree and the building that served as the castle. Under Viktor's lead, Kingsley entered through the small gate that sat at the end of the carpet. Now beyond the fence, Kingsley could see a group of people waiting to welcome him.

The group consisted of some people in high class armor that made it obvious they were high ranking members of the Euroan Society, a female that looked almost like Euroa but it wasn't her and a few other knights and servants who were simply standing and waiting. Kingsley looking at all of them smiled as he shook his head.

"You have no need to force a smile for my sake, one day you will regret why you weren't just honest with your feelings" Kingsley said as he walked towards them

He could tell easily that the smile on their faces wasn't genuine and he too didn't like it. He could feel the anger in their hearts especially the anger in the woman that looked like the Queen. She was probably Euroa's sister or daughter or something of that nature so her anger was understandable.

"Greetings your majesty" The lady said ignoring what he had said as she performed a graceful bow

"I'm assuming you're Euroa's daughter or something… can Monarchs even have children?" Kingsley asked

"Of course, your majesty, we are still living beings" The thrones answered

"My name is Euroa the second and on behalf of my mother, i was sent to welcome you to our lovely queendom" the lady said

"Euroa the second?... it's almost like the writers ran out of names" Kingsley muttered as he gave her a weird look

He just didn't understand what sort of lazy naming this was. These people had their own language and everything so they should have a wealth of names to choose from even if the queen was terrible at naming like he was. She was a Queen and had access to people that could help with names, he had himself alone to come up with the names.

"Well then Princess Euroa, thank you for receiving me… you all must be the Queendom's officials"

"Yes, your majesty" One of the answered as they all bowed

"Well then let's go in or is there some tradition that i am required to take part of before entering the building" Kingsley said as though he owned the place... well, he did but not the castle, he owned the land everything stood on.

Before any of them could process what, he said, Kingsley saw two of the thrones vanish from sight only to reappear in front of the Princess with their swords held high almost like an execution. Kingsley seeing it all, immediately rolled his eyes and yanked them back into position beside him.

"It is highly advised that you bottle up all ill thoughts against me when in my presence, it could lead to your death" Kingsley warned while looking at the Princess whose heart was beating so loud and fast that even Kingsley could hear it despite his dulled senses.

The fear on her face said it all but he didn't blame her for it. He just appeared from nowhere and took her mother's kingdom for no reason at all. He too would wish such a man death however; he had the beings known as the Thrones as bodyguards. They were incredibly sensitive to such things… a single intrusive thought could get you killed because you were close to a throne.

"Take a deep breath, let's go… in" Kingsley instructed to help the girl come out of her dazed state and she subconsciously did as he told her

As for the other officials, they were all frozen still in fear. Just the fact that two monarchs was about to attack them was more than enough to make them shit their pants though unlike the Princess, Kingsley didn't care much about them. They were just officials not the Queen's daughter.

"Excellent… now kindly lead the way and maybe try to restrain your thoughts next time" Kingsley said then turned to the Thrones who were now standing around them without a single care in the world

He couldn't blame them; he liked the fact that they were ready to kill if the other party's thoughts even went a little bit astray. Of course, since they were always around him, he could stop them but he felt the need to educate them on the mystical existence called intrusive thoughts.

*Huff Huff*

The girl breathed loudly as she tried to compose herself enough to lead her guest into the castle. To help her, several knights came from within the castle possibly under the command of the Queen whose gaze, he could feel. He didn't feel guilty about the event after all the princess was the one who was ungrateful, he didn't blame her for it but it was still her fault.

If he were some bloodthirsty lord then this entire area would have been reduced to nothing but dust and the World tree transported into the Fae realm where he would create another Forest Fae to take care of it. She and her mother, all her friends, everything she knew would be gone but here she was with everyone alive.

The knights helped her regain her bearing then proceeded to help the various officials. Understanding her situation, she quietly began to lead him into the castle, the Thrones following all the way. She led him through the halls carved into the roots of the tree until they were in front of a large door

"My mother awaits you beyond the door" The Princess said

"Thank you" Kingsley replied as he stepped through the large door which the guards opened for him

Entering the room behind the door, Kingsley was faced with a large room that was only identified as a throne room because of the wooden throne that sat at its center. The room was very big and filled with useless pillars that somehow added to the atmosphere in the room.
