Harald looked at Kyle, while Sebastian's seriousness crumbled as he tried not to laugh.
"Trying to make me laugh is not fair!" Sebastian transmitted to Kyle. "I was trying to be imposing here!"
"You saw the show?" Kyle asked with a chuckle.
"Who didn't?" Sebastian asked.
"What meaningless nonsense is this?" Harald asked Kyle.
"This is not the Winterfire Empire," Kyle answered. "You're not supposed to be here! Do you have a warrant?"
"A warrant?" Harald asked with furrowed brows, not recognizing the unfamiliar word.
The power of the monarchy in this world was so strong that their language didn't even have a word that described the government's permission to search a house.
If a guard wanted to search a house, they would just do it.
They didn't need permission.
"You are invading our Kingdom! This is an act of war!" Kyle shouted, dramatically pointing at Harald.
Harald slowly blinked, not impressed.
Then, he just sneered and swung his arm forward.
The next moment, a huge wave of water came from the sky, aiming for Kyle.
"Round two!" Kyle transmitted to Sebastian.
"Leave him to me!" Sebastian transmitted back as he readied his Spells.
BANG!
But then, the world distorted for just an instant.
The next moment, the huge wave of water collapsed and turned into individual raindrops, which harmlessly fell to the mountains below.
Everyone looked over and saw a person walking through the air.
It was Silvester, the former Champion of Skysand.
Harald narrowed his eyes but didn't prepare another attack.
"We had an agreement," Silvester spoke.
"These two are fugitives," Harald answered. "The Winterfire Empire demands their surrender."
Silvester's sword gleamed as he slowly moved it to the side.
"Your Emperor is waiting outside my Kingdom," Silvester said, slowly pointing his sword at Harald. "If he believes that he should follow the rules, and if you believe you don't have to, are you not saying you are more important than your Emperor?"
Harald narrowed his eyes. "I-"
"You have three seconds to leave," Silvester said.
Harald glared at Silvester.
"One," Silvester said.
"Fine, I will lea-"
"Two," Silvester said, interrupting Harald.
Harald looked at Silvester.
Silvester pulled his sword back.
BANG!
All the clouds vanished, and Harald immediately fled towards the south without speaking another word.
Silvester lowered his sword.
Meanwhile, Kyle and Sebastian snickered.
Then, Silvester looked at them. "Why are you here?" he asked neutrally.
"Asylum," Kyle answered.
"You have killed a Transcendent," Silvester spoke. "Asylum is for the helpless."
"Eh, then we want to join!" Kyle said. "I can be your representative."
"We do not accept new citizens at the moment," Silvester said.
Kyle blinked a couple of times.
"So, you're saying that I actually have to leave?" he asked.
"Yes," Silvester said.
"No hidden trick or loophole in the laws?" Kyle asked.
"If I find you or your friend within my territory after three days are up, I will kill you," Silvester said.
