Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Wish fulfillment

The victory of Kyle Reinhart in the royal rumble match of the second stage became the topic of the Empire, the fact that every higher ranked in the Ritual were killed by him in a matter of seconds.

Kyle became the topic of controversies!

The last stage of the caravan ritual is scheduled in three days time, the winner of the second stage will be granted the opportunity to challenge anyone in the Empire, they must answer his challenge.

Just a day after the second stage ended, Kyle was summoned into the throne room of the Duke!

*******

Clang!

The metallic door opened, leading into the throne room, Kyle made his way into the throne room, he could feel the serenity of the environment, what he expected wasn’t what he got, the throne room is crowded.

Filled with elite knight captains and the flag bearers!

Senators of the Crossword Dukedom and the members of the Reinhart Family, nobles of the Dukedom were present as well, although the atmosphere became intimidating, Kyle wasn’t Intimidated.

His thoughts were placid.

He raised his head, his eyes met with that of his father, the almighty Sword of the Empire, Duke Erald Reinhart, a man whose strengths in amongst the top five in the Empire, the Head Butler Geran stood before him.

No one’s permitted to stand on the altar where the throne exist on!

Kyle arrived at the center of the throne room when he quickly halted, standing before the patriach, he bowed his head before his father, paying his greetings to the man who stands above this land.

" I greet the master of this land, great Lord of Crossword....your servant stands before thee " Kyle voiced out.

" Child.....do you know why you have been summoned before me? " Duke Erald questioned!

His voice echoed, striking fear in the hearts of many, not many could stand against a demigod of the Empire, one of the thirteen demigods in the Continent and an high ranker!

" Yes, last night.....I won the second stage of the Caravan Ritual, eliminating key players including my two brothers, I brought back honor to the Reinhart Family " Kyle answered calmly.

" That’s correct, not too long ago, you were regarded as the trash of the Reinhart Family, a defect amongst my children, It was quite a shame that you were a part of my semen but look at you..."

" The trash of the Reinhart Family took back his authority which was usurped from me, not only that, you wiped out an invasive northern normadic tribes on your own, created your own loyal private army "

" You also became the highest scorer of the first stage and won the second stage as well "

" Mastering all the five sword arts given to you in just a few hours, you have shown remarkable growth within a few period of time and I’m impressed " Duke Erald spoke out!

" It’s an honor to impress the mighty sword of the Empire " Kyle said with a smile on his face.

" Sure, I have a question to ask you boy, I do recall promising to answer any wish of yours if you won the second stage on your own, tell me.... what’s your wish? " Duke Erald questioned!

His words were laced with overwhelming authority, Kyle exasperated, slowly raising his head, their eyes met, the Duke was amazed by the fearless gaze of Kyle Reinhart, a child who once couldn’t dare stare at his father.

" Father.... although you granted me only a single wish but I have two wishes " Kyle answered.

" Oh? two wishes? then tell me what those two wishes of yours, I will decide if they can be granted to you " Duke Erald stated, Kyle scanned the vicinity, he could sense hatred from within the hearts of those present.

Those who hated him were evident, they showed no sign of hiding their hatred for him!

" Well my first wish is a mediocre one, I simply wish for my private army, the Black Corps to be enlisted as a special force, they are my knights and my soldiers and I plan on making good use of them " Kyle said.

He explained his first wish to the Duke.

" Your private army huh? Head Butler, you were in charge of accessing the private army right? are they worthy of being given that position? " Duke Erald questioned, all attention were fixed on the head butler.

" My liege, yes is the correct answer, the Black Corps were divided into two groups, a knight corp and military division, the head of the military division, his sword art is quite unique and he is a nexus being "

" The same goes to the head of the knight corp, Ser Tristan, a former knight of the Rutherford Barony who defected in other to serve the young master, back then....he was a mere personal guard "

" But he has also reached the stage of a nexus being "

" I also did examine the rest and they are quite strong in their own unique way so it wouldn’t be a bad idea for them to be enlisted as a special force " Head Butler Geran gave his honest answer to the Duke.

" Hmmm...then i have no reason to decline your wish, but that won’t be an official wish, consider it as my gift to you for bringing back the honor and now, tell me boy "

" What’s your official wish " Duke Erald asked!

" My official wish is quite a complex one, I wish for full immunity " Kyle answered, his words came as a shock to the people present in the throne room, they were expecting something that could involve wealth and power but they never expected Kyle to wish for full immunity, nobody has ever wished for that.

" Full immunity? In what expect exactly? " The Duke curiously asked.

" I wish for full immunity, no matter the crimes I’ll commit in the future, no matter what secrets that I’m in possession of, no matter what my actions may be, I seek full immunity that not even you will be able to kill me "

Kyle answered, his gaze remained sterned!

the tension in the throne room grew every second, Kyle’s heart raced faster, he came fully prepared, prepared to kill anyone who charges against him, he noticed the eyes of the Senator’s and Elders.

They were all filled with deep rooted hatred!

" What sort of foolish wish is that? are you trying to stand against the authority of the Duke that you would make such a wish? are you trying to commit treason? " Senator Larwin Von Reinhart voiced out.

His rampaging voice echoed!

He is the cousin of patriach and one of the big shots of the Senate, the chief commander of the Crossword Dukedom and a swordmaster, Kyle tilted his gaze, turning his attention towards the voice.

And he glanced at the Senator!

" Who knows, I may be planning something devilish and attrocious, I may be hiding a secret so bad and terrible that if known, I would lose my head or I’m just a boy who just want immunity cause it’s cool "

" I do not plan on revolting against the Duke or the Empire "

" But there are some scums I plan on purging " Kyle said, Duke Erald who kept a sterned expression suddenly smiled, amongst his children....only the first young master is this outspoken.

" Do you mind telling me those you intend to purge? " Duke Erald asked, for about a few minutes, silence reigned, Kyle knew not to speak too much, but he had to answer with nothing but the truth.

" Zudaism " He answered.

" Zudaism? and why is that? what have they do to you? " Duke Erald questioned, his legs remained crossed, resting his back on his throne, He’s enjoying the conversation he’s currently having.

" A month ago, I wiped out the Rav Tribe, those disgusting fucks who dared to take what’s rightfully mine but amongst them was a Zudaist, a worshipper of {Cancer}, I luckily killed her before she could cast a spell "

" But before that....Its commonly known as Demonic Worshipers are evil while Zudaists are the pinnacles of righteousness but that’s a fucking lie, Zudaists are just fuckers blessed with divine energy "

" And for humanity to thrive....we don’t need them at all, so I’ll purge them all, starting from the Zudaists who sneaked into our land " Kyle declared!

His words stunned the Duke, the first young master and the Head Butler, those who were aware that Zudaists had snuck into the Dukedom were shocked, It was kept a secret to avoid any unnecessary bloodshed.

" Very well then.....I’ll grant you your wish "

" And your private army will be enlisted as one of the three special forces of the Crossword Dukedom, but in exchange.....I want to see what you’re fully capable of doing, I have a mission for you "

Duke Erald spoke out, he slowly rose up from his throne.

" The Crossword Dukedom is intolerant to Zudaism as we maintain our neutralism, but there have been accounts of Zudaists killing the citizens of my land, I do not have enough evidence yet "

" I cannot kill servants of a Church without evidence, if I do that....I will be going to war against the Church, so I will leave it to you as a mission, starting from now until the end of the caravan ritual "

" I need you to Investigate into the Zudaists wandering around freely in my land, the Church of {Cancer}, present me an evidence of their criminal activties that I may judge them as I please, that’s the mission "

Duke Erald said.

Meanwhile Kyle couldn’t hide his overwhleming happiness, a darkened grin escaped his lips, and he placed his right hand on his chest, bowing his head before the Duke.

" Do not worry father, I will present you the evidence but I will also be the sword that punishes them, the one who eradicates those facinorous Zudaists will be me, I’m the punisher of evil "
