After Asahi left the room, only silence remained.

"I can't believe Asahi made two lovers at such a young age. On the other hand, I'm still single and am trying to court the woman I'm inlove with." Tadamori broke the silence as he said that with a strained smile.

"Whahaha! Even when I'm at his age, I was too shy to talk with girls!" Shigure added with a laugh.

"Fufufu, and here I thought that the cute little Asahi that I once played around with would be a late bloomer." Shimeshi said with a gentle smile, remembering the memories of when she was still babysitting Asahi.

"You're right. And based on the picture we saw earlier, those two cute girls were genuinely happy being with Asahi." Sakiyo added with a gentle expression.

"Hmm.. but I wonder where he took that picture? I didn't know he was going to any beaches." Shigure pondered.

"Maybe Asahi always sneaks around at night to meet his girls, hahaha!" Tadamori added with a laugh.

"Oh? If that's the case, maybe he asked me to allow him to travel on foot because he wanted to meet his girls on the way here?" Shigure asked no one in particular.

""Fufu..""

""Hahaha!""

After a moment of silence, everyone laughed qnd giggled. Except for one person, Kiryuin Hatsuki.

She frowned as she listen to them.

"Hm? What's wrong, Hatsuki?" Noticing Hatsuki, Tadamori asked.

"No, it's nothing, brother."

"Oh? Don't tell me that you're jealous? Asahi has not just a fiancee, but two lovers, after all!" Tadamori said with a grin, teasing Hatsuki.

"Wha!? No, ofcourse not!"

"Don't worry, Hatsuki. You're still 11 years old. You're still young. You can get a lover when you're older." Tadamori said, reassuring Hatsuki.

"Yeah, it just frustrates me that he's getting girls one after another, instead of helping our clan grow.." Hatsuki said as she frowned her brows.

"Don't worry about him, Hatsuki. I'm sure Asahi is helping our clan in his own ways too." Shigure said with a smile.

"Alright, father." Hatsuki replied.

Meanwhile, when Asahi arrived in his room, he sat down on his bed.

Suddenly, his ring glowed dimly. Asahi touched the ring gently and a hologram of Nemo and Chloe appeared.

"Good evening, both of you." A soft smile appeared on Asahi's face as he saw the both of them.

"Good evening, Asahi." Chloe and Nemo both said with a smile.

"How are the things over there? Is the Palace doing fine?" Asahi asked.

"Yup, we're doing pretty well. But Asahi, I forgot to ask this back then, but I have a question." Chloe said.

"What is it?"

"Why did you do an international trade for foods with the Ustrela Kingdom? Don't we have many trees with edible fruits on the island? And we can catch fish ourselves if we wanted to." Chloe asked.

"Well, everyone in the Creation Lord Palace are just children, you know. That includes me. Not a single one of us even reached the age of twenty yet. So some might get tired of eating the same fruit every day. And we're still inexperience too.

So I want to form a friendship with a kingdom in the mainland. Since the Coeus Intelligence Unit isn't active yet, we need the Ustrela Kingdom to inform us if anything occurs on the mainland. The trade for food is just a secondary matter." Asahi explained in a calm tone.

"Oh, speaking of information, we recieved a letter from King Ferdinand an hour after you left. Since you weren't around, we, the Vice Palace Masters, as well as the generals and their advisors were the one who read it." Nemo said.

"Hm? What was it?" Asahi asked out of curiosity.

"It was written that not long after king Ferdinand departed from Ustrela Kingdom to check our Palace back then, another fisherman from Ustrela reported that he saw a new island emerging in the northeastern part of the Ustrela sea. He asked if it's related to us. Ofcourse, we will reply no." Chloe explained.

"Oh? Interesting." Asahi said with a calm smile.

"It's also written on the letter that half an hour after King Ferdinand returned in Ustrela Kingdom after coming in our territory, a group of golden ships sailed in the ocean, heading towards the Ustrela Kingdom, and King Ferdinand welcomed them cautiously. He said that the golden ships came from the newly emerged island, and they proposed the Ustrela Kingdom an international trade. It's written that those group of golden ships called themselves as the 'Celestial Saint Holy Land'." Nemo added to the explanation, the look on her eyes were serious.

"And there's one more thing." Chloe added.

"What is it?"

"King Ferdinand says that the group also has a body of metal similar to ours. He even asked us if we know them. Their leader seems to be a female, and they call her as 'Holy Master'." Chloe explained.

Asahi's eyes narrowed as he listen to them.

"Now, things are getting serious."

"What should we do, Asahi." Nemo asked.

"Send a letter to King Ferdinand. Tell him to convey a message coming from me to the Celestial Saint Holy Land." Asahi said with a serious voice.

"What message?"

"Tell King Ferdinand to convey to them that we, the Creation Lord Palace, wants to meet the Celestial Saint Holy Land in Ustrela Kingdom 3 days from now." Asahi said.

"Got it." Nemo said with a smile.

After that, they chatted with each other for half an hour more with casual topics. Then, when it ended, Asahi said his goodbyes and goodnights to them and ended the call.

The wearer of the rings that Asahi made can call each other, after all.

After the call ended, Asahi lied down on the bed, trying to sleep.
