Mio went to the royal capital alongside Cremonia and the other knights. Elena and Carmelia did not follow and stayed in the city of Nigur. Elena was just going to start coaching Dalia and Eldriana again while Carmelia was going to make a name in this city of explorers by taking care of several ruins alone. Elena wanted to keep Carmelia and Mio here in this world as her representative as she had already decided to guide this world and these two would be given some of the administration authorities.
...
Mio went to the capital by using a secret teleportation magic formation. Only a few cities of this nation had these teleportation magic formations drawn. The king himself had poured an insane amount of money and manpower to connect his whole kingdom through these formations. It was mainly done to send armies to any part of the nation as soon as possible in an era when this nation was fighting against an enemy nation.
After that battle came to an end, the king hid the location and information about this teleportation magic formation from the common population and made it an exclusive property of the royal family. Even the high ranking nobles of this kingdom needed the permission of the king or had to accompany a member of the royal family to use them.
So, by giving Mio the permission to use it, the king showed how seriously he was taking this situation and how badly he wanted to punish her to maintain the dignity of the royal family. The main reason why he was so fearless in calling Mio, a level 700 plus powerhouse to the capital was because he was not aware of her true power level.
The king got the information about Mio from the captured soldiers and from some of the spies of the king who were around the area. In that information he heard that Mio had an intense battle with his brother Kolhdre and she was barely able to win. Those spies were not able to judge how much that formation had increased Kolhdre's powers as he did not get a chance to make a move.
For that reason, the king was made to believe that Mio was just slightly stronger than his brother and in that case she was absolutely nothing in front of him. With his own high power level above 700, he was very confident of dealing with anything that this Mio person would create.
He was only really too fond of his little brother, but king Saleman was someone who believed that his high elvin bloodline was very noble. For that reason, he could never accept the fact that a person of his own bloodline was defeated and killed. According to his views, only another royal had the authority to judge another royal. That was the reason why he was planning to punish or even kill Mio to get rid of this stain from his bloodline.
And the reason why he did not harshly punish his sons was also similar. King Saleman found it unacceptable that a royal could be punished for seeing the general population as his plaything. In the king's eyes, they were actually playthings so he was obviously not going to fault his sons for thinking the same. The only reason why he even gave them any punishment was because those two sons fought with their sisters.
...
When Mio reached the capital, only the captain of the royal knight order was there to welcome her. At first the second princess was also going to come, but after knowing that her father was plotting against her, she decided to create some distance between her and Mio. She actually tried to warn her father that this girl might be stronger than even him as she had seen her level to be 737. But obviously the king did not take her seriously and believed in the words of his spies more for obvious reasons.
Even though the second princess Iris did not come to receive her because she did not want to anger her father, she still sent a letter to Mio explaining the current inner situation and telling her that she would do her best to support Mio from the shadows. Iris was an intelligent person so she knew that becoming enemies with Mio was not a good news. So even though she obeyed her father's instructions on outside, actually she was giving her full support to Mio from the shadows.
On the same day, Mio was scheduled to meet with the king in an official setting. So she got dressed up and followed behind a minister who was there to guide her to the royal throne room. He had continuously nagged her by telling her about etiquette and manners again and again. So much so that even Elena was getting a bit irritated even though it was only her clone who was going through the actual situation.
But Mio was able to control her temper and soon she was in front of the door of the royal throne room. An announcer then told everyone her name and asked her to come in. This door was a magical device and it opened at that exact time. Mio entered the and went before the throne of the king.
The minister had told Elena any time to kneel before the king after entering the room but obviously Elena did not do that and instead, she activated her summoning magic. As soon as the royal guards saw this they tried to move in order to stop her, but they were too slow and Mio was finished with the casting of the spell before they were able to take even a step.
Several weapons appeared and styled themselves in such a way that it created a tall platform and a throne on top of it. Several spears, swords and other weapons gathered together to create this structure. Then Mio floated up and sat on the throne and was at the same height as the king. Only then she spoke for the first time.
"I'm Mio, an explorer from a different far away land. I would like to know why his majesty King Saleman Elviana Featrees had called me here."
All the nobles and ministers present inside the throne room started to chatter among themselves about how disrespectful she was. But the king himself did not show any sign of getting angry. Instead his eye brows were furrowed a little bit. When Mio used her summoning technique, the power he sensed from her was very close to his own level of power. So this girl was definitely a level 700 plus being. This made things very difficult for him.
Before Mio's entrance, the king had told all the people present here that he was going to punish this girl to maintain the dignity of the royal bloodline. But now that she turned out to be at the same level as him, it became difficult to be too forceful with her. But he was also unable to go back on his word and disgrace himself. So he decided to just go with his initial plan and would change it depending on the situation.
Everything was getting very interesting.
