At the entry post of the Blue Isle city, An beautifully adorned carriage that was being pulled by two Magical Beasts arrived escorted by 80 horsemen, another similarly prestigious carriage, and a few other warriors who seemed to be the high-ranked bodyguards.

The Magical Beasts had a build similar to a lion but they were broad and had sharp and very long fangs that even extended outside of their mouths. The beast's faces looked ferocious with long whiskers dangling from their mouth toward the chin beside the fangs.

The creatures had brownish-red and dense fur which covered their entire bodies. The beasts had sturdy and strong legs with metallic-looking claws, even some muscles were visible which made it obvious that the beasts could pull the carriage effortlessly and for extensive periods without any bother. They also had small, pointy, and angular horns on their heads.

The city guards who were at the entry post gasped in astonishment seeing the convoy. Some passersby even passed out in fear.

"Holy shit! What kind of magical beast is that?" A soldier said opening his mouth in an 'O' shape while his eyes were opened wide as he stared at the beasts.

"It's a Magical Beast captured from the infinite Forest. I have seen its picture in a book when I was in the academy. It's called Lamnsheff, I have heard it has the strength equal to a Rank 3 warrior." A superior ranked officer who wore a dark blue cloak with the standard armor said while stroking his chin.

"Rank 3rd!" The soldiers cried out in surprise. Some looked at the magical beasts with envy.

The soldiers at the entry post were either normal humans or Ranked 1 warriors. Although this world had fantastical powers like Magic And Aura, normal humans were just as important. A warrior or a mage wouldn't be able to survive an ambush from hundreds and thousands of people with weaponry like crossbows and cannons no matter how strong they are unless they are Gods or Demi-Gods.

The armies in this world consisted of normal humans who were trained thoroughly and had excellent magical equipment and were Ranked 1-3 Elite warriors or mages.

It was very hard to become a warrior or mage in the first place, and even after becoming one it was hard to increase the rank without any resources and that's why not many warriors or mages hoped to go beyond the 4th rank.

Seeing that a magical beast had as much power as a 3rd Ranked warrior made the soldiers envious as they were still either ranked 1st or rank 3rd themselves.

"Hey! Look at that!" A soldier who had long black hair, a thin figure, and tanned skin suddenly exclaimed as if he found something stunning.

"What is it?" The officer asked as he looked in the direction the soldier was pointing at.

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

The officer was taken aback for a second after seeing this but regained his calm soon after.

A few soldiers didn't know what was the fuss, and one of them asked.

"What is it, Breck?

"The insignia on the carriage seems to be of House Carlstine," Breck answered knitting his brows in dissatisfaction.

"Enough! The Lord has instructed us to welcome the Duke respectfully. Behave yourselves and don't cause trouble." The officer with the blue cape said with a frown. It seemed as if he was somewhat unwilling as well.

The story of Marquis Miller and The Duke's conflict had spread far wide so it was natural for Marquis Miller's soldiers to feel unhappy.

Duke Carlstine's carriage ignored the queue as if it was the most natural thing to do and yet no one raised any objections.

The soldiers and officials of the Miller Family came forward to welcome the Duke.

A young man got off his horse elegantly and walked over to the Entry Post. His Black, frizzy hair almost fully covered his chiseled, charming face. Darting blue eyes set concealed within their sockets. A longsword was behind his back in a pitch-black sheath.

The man had an aura of superiority and haughtiness around him as he walked toward the guard post in a prideful and domineering manner stretching his shoulders wide and striding with wide steps.

He extended his hand which was rigid and full of small-large scars, a documentation scroll appeared on his hand from the spatial ring which was on his ring finger.

The soldiers and even the superior officer looked at the ring in awe.

The man saw their reaction and a slight smile appeared on his face, he simply could not hide his pride in himself.

Just as the officer was about to take the scroll, suddenly someone shouted,

"Wait!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice thinking who had the gall to have enough courage to stop the Duke himself.

The haughty man frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.

The voice had come from the long queue of carriages. Second in line, there was a carriage with the insignia of a shield and dragon-like creatures around it. The man then saw a blond young man with a muscular build, tall height, and green and big eyes looking at him with a frown on his face.

Upon seeing this insignia, the man's fierce gaze turned softer.

"I am Knight Brycen Eustice of the House Carlstine. Name yourself!"

"I am Wayne Burgasse of the house Shaw." The blond man said while glaring at Brycen.

"Well? What is it?" Brycen said in a domineering manner.

"Does Lord Duke not even have the decency to

get in the queue?" Wayne said mockingly as a wide grin appeared on his face.

"Hmph! My Lord is an esteemed guest of Marquis Miller and therefore does not need such trivialities." Brycen said puffing his chest out. A domineering aura gushed out of his body giving everyone in the surroundings shivers in their spine.

"Heh, what a joke!" Wayne said in a condescending tone as he too manifested his aura relieving the suffocating pressure.

The officers and soldiers of the Miller Family had cold sweat on their faces.

'What the fuck? Why must you nobles start a fight on the gate? What a headache!" The officer with a blue cape thought rubbing his forehead as he frowned in worry.

Both Wayne and Brycen had their hands on their sword hilt, ready to draw their swords at any moment. Their masters ignored this little fiasco completely and watched the drama unfold in silence.

Just as the atmosphere was getting even more intense by the combined killing intent of the house's soldiers and knights, The sound of horses echoed in the distance as two carriages being escorted by high-ranked warriors and mages appeared to be heading towards the Blue Isle City's entry gate.
