Chapter 237 Your majesty?
Serena almost choked on her breath. She looked at the Royal envoy with a weird expression.
"You mean (SS)-Rank? Right?"
However, the Royal envoy's answer was the same as before.
"No, it's (SSS+)-Rank talent."A huge uproar erupted below the stage. Not just the participants even the nobles sitting at a distance were shocked. Now the questions about Kyle's identity increased. Just who the hell was this Kyle Ohan? How can they not know about him?
It's been a long time since someone from the Elf Kingdom awakened (SSS+)-Rank talent! This year the highest awakened talent was only (SS+)-Rank!
Regius exclaimed with a sour expression.
"Damn it! My talent is nothing in front of him! Now I know why he is so strong at a young age!"
A bitter smile appeared on his face. He awakened his talent before entering the academy. It was (SS-)-Rank. The highest among his whole class!
Sinon also shook his head. He was born as a special demi-human with wings but his talent wasn't high. Still, he knew having a high talent and achieving that talent were two vastly different things.
Yue gazed at Kyle back but after a second she looked away with a sigh. Her fingers traced the porcelain bracelet hanging on her left wrist.'He is strong and will stay strong. I wonder why he didn't fight back when I attacked him.'
On the other hand, Serena's eyelid was twitching due to bewilderment. She was shocked but more importantly, she knew another headache was coming her way with a fast speed.
That's why before the Royal envoy could say anything further she patted Kyle's shoulder.
"Let's leave. The King is waiting."
She wore a calm expression but inwardly she was cursing Han with all the swear words she could remember. Kyle gazed at the shocked Jolee and at the Royal envoy who seemed to be frowning and hurriedly sped up behind Serena.
They immediately left the hall through a small door present behind the stage, leaving behind the speechless crowd.
After Kyle and Serena were gone, the Royal envoy cleared his throat and gestured for Jolee to continue the second round.
Afterward, he secretly went to the side and took out a communication Crystal to inform the King about Kyle's talent test result.
....
Inside a Luxurious room, a small discussion was going on.
The room was large with many comfortable chairs placed around a huge table. However, only three of the chairs were occupied.
The head chair was occupied by a middle-aged elf who was wearing a loose golden shirt above black pants. His hair was completely black with a hint of white peeking out from a few corners. A pair of coral eyes looked at the beautiful elf woman sitting on his left side.
"My Queen, now what? It seems the kid is hiding too many secrets. Even his master is unaware of his true talent. Do you think we can trust him?"
The beautiful woman who was wearing a long peach color flowery dress sighed. A dazzling gold hairpin was shimmering between her long lavender hair.
"Don't ask me. You already gave me a headache with all your questions. Now handle it yourself."
She stood up with a serious expression and left the room.
The King massaged his temples. His long pointy ears twitched when he heard some footsteps approaching the room from the opposite direction.
"They are here."
He tapped the table and gazed at the middle-aged elf sitting opposite him.
"Aefel, you should leave."
Aefel gave him a nod and stood up. He was wearing a plain shirt and his amber eyes had a hint of coral in them. He was one of the King's closest aid and Yue's father Aefel WintCrest.
After Aefel left, a knock resounded in the room.
"Come in."
The door opposite the men was opened and two figures walked inside.
Serena showed a conflicted expression when she saw the King alone. She opened her mouth but the King raised his hand to shut her up.
He stared at Kyle with a serious expression and spoke in a serious tone.
"Serena, I want to talk with him alone. So, leave us for a while."
Serena was hesitant. She gazed at Kyle with a frown but after a few seconds, she nodded and left the room. It's not like she could do anything else. Instead of rebuking the King's words, it was better to find the Queen and ask for help if something happened.
After Serena left, there was silence in the room.
Kyle gazed at the handsome middle-aged elf sitting opposite him. A while ago when he left the hall, he passed through a long corridor. The corridor was designed with unique and expensive antiques.
Kyle quietly observed the room, it was also filled with many costly things. Especially the large burning circular stone floating behind the elf sitting in front of him.
'Is he the elven King?'
Kyle placed his fist on his chest with a thin smile.
"Your Majesty?"
He wasn't sure about how to greet Royals. The only Royal he was familiar with was Carcel but Carcel behaved just like everyone else. So, the only thing Kyle could do was to speak as politely as possible.
The King finally spoke but when his voice arrived Kyle felt pressure around his shoulders. However, the pressure vanished the next second.
"So you are Kyle. I have been hearing about you a lot for the past two months. Come sit no need to stand."
Kyle was hesitant at first but then just resigned to his fate and sat down opposite the King.
The King didn't beat around the bush and directly went to the point.
"I know you want to enter the Secret Realm through my Kingdom but why should I give you the precious spot that belongs to my people? Moreover, all this is only benefiting you, not me."
Kyle stayed silent for a few seconds and then he grasped the meaning behind the King's words.
'Ah...All this is only benefiting me. So he wants something in return.'
Kyle's brows knitted together. He was just a student what could he possibly offer the person who had a whole Kingdom under him? Alright, he accepted he was a rich student who had a lot of treasures waiting for him in another Kingdom but still, what could he possibly give the person sitting opposite him?
