Jaus is currently waiting for the black knight... Their battle is going to be held in a small arena. About 10% of the size of the big one.

Jaus is already sitting down on his side of the arena... And the black knight soon walks in. Everybody shouts: "Go Black Knight! Kick his ass! We know you are holding back your strength! This Jaus fella ain't gonna be a problem!"

Jaus smirks at that.

A mere human against a divine beast? And they think that the human can beat him?

Jaus: "Hah. Ridicolous."

The announcer comes up and says the rules again... And then a horn is blown.

The black knight tries to move his finger but Jaus was already infront of him. He got up from his sitting position and basically teleported to the front of the black knight in a millisecond.

Jaus grabs the arms of the black knight and tightens the grip so hard the entire collouseum they are fighting in hears the breaking of bones.

Jaus then proceeds to hit the man in the stomach with an open palm, hitting him out of the arena and breaking all of his armor.

The audience is surprised that Jaus used that much power. They thought that Jaus would use a sliver of his strength underestimating the opponent and then being taken down.

But Jaus did use a sliver of his strength.

He then walks out afture being declared victor. One mage couldn't heal the black knight so they had to call in an entire squad to take care of him.

There were no fatal wounds. Just a lot of small ones and broken bones what could be healed.

The king made a decision.

With no other contestant being even close to the power Jaus has he is crowned victor but the 2nd place gets all the prizes what the first place has.

Jaus already had a deal with the king so he didn't care.

The female knight came up to him.

Yuir: "You are quite strong... My family has a policy to kiss men who are stronger than them in every way. Well the women at least. The men do the opposite."

Yuir then kisses the cheek of Jaus. His appearance was different from his usual appearance. His size was medium. He knew that he looked like a 14 year old.

Jaus: "Kiss? No idea what family has that tradition. Don't care. Have business to do. Have to go."

Yuir is impressed by Jaus's reaction. Usually men try to kiss her on the lips afture she has kissed them on the cheek. Mostly because the men are enchanted by her.

But Jaus just left her be.

Yuir: "Jaus... I will remember that name... You are a weird one... Usually my charm magic takes over the males libido and makes them in love with me in an instant... But you..."

Jaus already walked out the door and is heading towards the house he was staying at. He saw a royal carriage with the king's guards heading towards there too.

Jaus walked there for an hour and when he arrived the King was already there with the carriage he saw before.

Uic: "Jaus. It's time to go and meet my family. You also have the rank Knight now. To be more precise... The Knight of the White Fire. That is your official title. I decided that myself. Like it?"

Jaus: "Long... I like it but it's long..."

Uic: "People will still call you Knight though."

Jaus: "Then it's fine."

Uic: "Let's head out, Knight Jaus."

Jaus smirked.

Jaus: "Ok, King Uic."

Jaus got on the carriage with the King and they left for the Capital. The manor Jaus owned was just a day of riding a carriage away from the Capital. But they decided it was better to go meet the royal family because Jaus was a special case.

They rode for 5 days straight. Uic and Jaus spoke a lot to each other and got a mutual bond of trust between them. Upcourse Jaus was still a being of mystery. But Uic trusted him. Jaus decided to put some trust into him too but he won't do anything stupid for the King.

They arrive at the Capital and go straight to the Palace.

The Kings family is already there. They left before the King because they only went with him to see the Battle Royale. The queen and the princesses bowed. The princes didn't. They were arrogant and thought they shouldn't bow towards their father or the new knight just behind the knight.

Uic: "Sorry Jaus... My sons are quite arrogant."

Jaus: " 3 daughters... 2 sons... Oh, I forgive your sons. They don't know me but they should bow towards you. I can teach that arrogance out of them."

Uic: "Just ignore it for now..."

Jaus: "Ok. Which one is the eldest."

Uic: "The one closest to the queen is Jera."

Jaus heads over to Jera.

Jaus: "I bow to the Eldest Princess Jera."

Jera is surprised by the sudden action. She flusters and all the others start laughing. Even the king. Then Jera suddenly slaps Jaus for making her fluster.

Jaus: "I am very sorry Princess Jera."

Jaus then heads back over to the king.

Jaus: "Your daughter is very interesting. Quite tempremental indeed."

Uic: "That isn't even her worst! Hahahaha!"

Uic and the rest start laughing. Only Jaus and Jera aren't laughing. Jera is still embarrased and very mad at Jaus.

Uic: "Shall we go and have dinner? Jaus will you join us?"

Jaus: "If you say so. I don't have anything against it. Might get to know all of you better."

Uic: "I haven't asked you before... But will you get rid of that cloak and mask... We want to see you better. We can't tell your skin color and we can't see your face."

Jaus: "As you command."

Jaus takes off his mask and cloak revealing the face of an 14 year old and pure white skin. They also see some muscles underneath the white shirt. The entire royal family are taken aback from this sight.

It looks like Jaus has trained for his entire life.

Uic: "Well... Jaus... Let us go to the dining hall shall we..."

Jaus: "As you say."

They all head to the dining hall and Jaus waits until the royal family has sat down to sit down himself. He sits down to the place Uic has sent a new maid to.

Soon afture food is delivered to the table and everybody starts dining. In the middle of eating Uic stops and motions for something. Then some mead is delivered to everybody who is of age for drinking. (Just for note, the drinking age in that kingdom is 15.)

Uic: "Jaus. Are you of age for drinking?"

Jaus: "What is the proper drinking age?"

Uic: "15... You seem 14."

Jaus: "I am way over 14. My appearance is stuck like this for now. I can drink."

Uic: "This mead is from the Nordic Lands to the north. One of the best."

Jaus: "Then I will gladly accept a taste of this fine mead..."

They all drink a little bit of mead until they notice something. Jaus is already finished with all of his food and is waiting.

Uic: "Already done aye? You could score first place in the world's eating competition my friend!"

Jaus: "I've always eaten fast."

Uic: "Well... I'll have a maid escort you to the training grounds for now. I will come by when I am finished."

A maid comes next to Jaus and signals that it's time to go and Jaus rises and then bows to the family before leaving.

Uic: "A strange fellow... He is very trustworthy but mysterious. Something about him tells me that if we betray him... He will kill us and if we don't betray him he won't betray us..."

Jera: "Indeed father... Mysterious indeed. By the way about THAT subject... The white and black gorilla..."

The royal family talks about the dissapeared gorilla aka Jaus's real body. Jaus is heading over to the training ground when he sees a slave woman being treated badly by other slaves. He walks over to the boy slaves and looks at them. They don't notice him because Jaus concealed his presence and silently walked.

The maid starts laughing a little. The little girl starts smiling afture seeing what the maid is laughing at. Jaus is behind the boys and is looking down at them. But the boys don't notice it.

Boy #1: "Oi! What are you smiling at! And where is that laughing coming from!"

The boy looks behind him only to find Jaus looking at him. He then falls back seeing Jaus's face and the maid laughing.

The maid walks towards Jaus.

Maid: "I think that's enough Knight Jaus."

Jaus: "Slave girl. Come with me."

Jaus lends his hand to the slave girl and she accepts it immediatly. The boys are surprised by the thing the maid said. Knight Jaus.

Jaus: "Girl... What is your name."

Girl: "My name is Rui. What are you going to do to me..."

Jaus: "I didn't expect the King to have slaves."

Rui: "The King doesn't have slaves... I'm the slave of one of the royals who came here today... He treats me badly and i'm only there to fetch water and food."

Jaus: "Who is this royal?"

Rui: "Baron Amethius."

Jaus: "Come with me for now. If Amethius want to argue with me he will have to deal with a duel."

Rui: "Ok.. It feels safer with you. You have an aura of... Protection..."

Jaus: "Hmm... Do I?"

Jaus doesn't completely trust the slave or any human around him so he keeps an eye on all of his surroundings. He spots quite a few guards staring at him. He even sees an assasain in the corner of a building. Upcourse he kills the assassin using some fire magic.

Maid: "How did you see that assassin?"

Jaus: "I have keen senses."

Jaus then is taken to the training grounds where he sees a battalion of people training. The maid then approaches the guard who is training the others and tells him who Jaus is. The guard immediatly bows and the rest soon follow.

Guard: "Hello Knight of the White Fire Jaus. I am one of the King's royal guards. Tuir."

Jaus: "Hello Tuir. I wish to see what you all are doing. So keep training them."

Jaus keeps observing his surroundings and the training until the king comes along.

Uic: "Jaus. It's time to go and see your manor. The manor is also going to be home to Jera. Since you two are going to be living in the same manor i'm going to leave some guards and maids and butlers for you. Also guard her well. She is my daughter afture all."

Jaus: "I will. But why in the same manor?"

Uic: "It feels like she will be safer with you. I trust you Jaus. It's like if I don't betray you, you will never betray me."

Jaus: "Then let's keep it that way. I don't like betrayers. I want to kill betrayers."

Uic slightly flinches at hearing that from Jaus.

They then head towards the stable where a carriage was already prepeared and Jera is already in it. The king sits in first and then Jaus.

Jera: "Father... Why do I have to live with Jaus... I trust the royal guards a lot... I don't know about him though..."

Uic: "Trust this man. If he kills you I will hunt him down and make his life miserable. Also he is strong enough to take down my royal guard army alone probably."

Jera: "That... Strong... He is inhumane..."

Uic: "I know. There are only a handful of men who can take down my royal guard army alone. Only 5 of them including Jaus. And we don't know how much power Jaus has shown us."

Jera: "I'll trust him a little more then..."

Jera quickly looks at Jaus and then starts blushing. Uic notices this but doesn't  pay any attention to it.

They ride towards the manor where Jaus and Jera will live at.

What will happen to the life of Jaus now? We shall find out next time.
