"That should do it," said Julius as he looked at 9 people as he turned away from Marx as he was inspecting Gueldre Poizot. "Thank all of you for coming to this meeting. I will make sure that Gueldre will be sentenced to jail for betraying the Clover Kingdom and working with the Eye Of The Midnight Sun," Julius frowned at the mention of that. "So, I want to say, that you have a day off. Enjoy your evening." said Julius.
"Awesome! I can't wait to continue working on my magnum opus!" said Rill Boismortier as he turned to Asta, "Do you want to join with me as well?"
"Uh, sorry, but I gotta pass. Art is not really my thing, y'know? Thanks for the offer though." said Asta as Rill dropped his head.
"I understand." then he brought his head up as he began walking away, "Still! Have a good day!" yelled Rill as he walked out the room.
"I shall go as well, I am afraid on what Langris might do when I am not around." William Vengeance then began to think of the worst possible futures with Langris being left alone as then he walked away, "Good day to you all." William said as Dorothy Unsworth wordlessly walked away with him.
Before anyone else could say their goodbyes, a man looked at Julius. He is a middle aged man with eyes that spoke of that of a warrior, as he had short purple hair with piercing blue eyes as he had a purple coloured stubble. He wore a purple coloured cowboy hat as the rest of his attire consisted of long brown pants, black leather cowboy boots with wheels on them, with a black long sleeved shirt with a long purple coloured scarf that covered his shoulders with the ends being that of blood red. His name was Kenneth Dryll.
"Julius… how about I treat this disgrace to the Clover Kingdom to some just deserts?" asked the man with determined eyes as Gueldre widened his eyes.
"Oh, so you want to deal with him personally?" Julius asked as Kenneth nodded.
"That's right, and you know how I think about traitors of our Kingdom." said Kenneth as Asta looked at him like crazy, as the rest of them (Yami, Nozel, Charlotte and Jack) weren't bothered by this.
Julius began to think about this as Gueldre looked at the Wizard King with hopeful eyes, "Julius! You can not let this barbarian do whatever he wants! You of all people sh-"
"I will allow it."
"What?!" yelled Asta and Gueldre at the same time as Asta turned to his Captain, "Why aren't you shocked?! Is this normal for him?"
Yami thought about it and shrugged his shoulders, "Pretty much, yeah. There is a reason why a large number of traitors in the Magic Knights dropped ever since Goldie and mine's squads were made." He could still remember Kenneth basically torturing those of the Crimson Lion Kings and Silver Eagles when they betray the Magic Knights.
"O-oh."
"And that is why none of my squad have betrayed the Kingdom," Jack proudly proclaimed with a grin on his face.
"It is due to the fact that you are more of a barbarian than Kenneth to the point they know that getting murdered by you is a guarantee." said Charlotte as Jack rolled his eyes.
"Piss off."
"Julius, you can not be serious! This has to be a human rights violation!" yelled Gueldre as Marx walked a few steps away from the Former Purple Orca Captain. He knows what is going to happen.
"Shut it. You have no right to talk about the idea of human lives! Sharpshoot Creation Magic: Shepherd's Hunting Rifle!" as then Kenneth's right arm transformed that of a robotic arm as the palm had purple lines as it glew with energy. On his wrist was a barrel of a gun. In a blink of an eye he grabbed Gueldre by his throat and slammed it on a pillar knocking only Asta off his feet.
"Gueldre Poizot, Former Captain of The Purple Orca, your sins are innumerable! I will be the one that cleanses your soul of sin!" Kenneth then slammed Gueldre on a pillar. He heard Julius cough.
"Ken, you have one rule. Don't kill him, or else I shall step in. Understood?" asked Julius as Kenneth sighed.
"Understood." said Kenneth as he then heard Jack walk towards him.
"HEY! You can't just have fun with that prick over there all by yourself! At least share some with me!" yelled Jack as Kenneth then had a small smile.
"Sure." Gueldre nearly fainted as he knew what was going to happen. "Though, the same rule applies to you, understood?"
"Fine by me, Kenneth! Let's cut this shit heel!" yelled Jack as he equipped his Death Scythe onto him.
"There are times when I wonder who are the real evil people in this Kingdom. They don't have a shred of sanity." said Nozel as he began to walk away with Charlotte walking with him.
"Honestly."
"Oi Kenneth, get some licks in for me, ya understand?" Yami asked as he saw Kenneth nod, "Thanks." Yami then grabbed Asta by his robe as he began to walk away. "Anyways, I gotta take a dump. I gotta shit in me that will break my previous record." said Yami as Julius shook his head as he closed his eyes.
"Did not want to know that." said Julius as he saw Jack and Kenneth basically torturing Gueldre Poizot as he leaned on a wall as Marx looks at them with the most concerning look he could muster.
Meanwhile, Asta jumped off Yami's grip as he walked with his Captain, "Hey, Captain Yami, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, go ahead." said Yami as he continued to smoke a cigarette.
"Wh- Who was that guy?" asked Asta with a confused look on his face, "I haven't seen him up to now and I am very concerned for him."
"Oh, the man with the gun arm?" asked Yami as Asta nodded, "Oh, that is Kenneth Dryll. He is basically a guy that works for Julius and only him. He is a mixture of a bounty hunter and a Magic Knight, with the freedom of a bird. He hunts down every criminal he could find and does the mission only he could manage."
Yami took a long puff, "That is not even mentioning the fact that he is as strong as the rest of The Magic Knight Captains, maybe even stronger. I swear, he knows your weakness after only fighting you for 3 minutes, he is actually insane. The only ones that have a shot at beating him are me, Sisgoleon, Goldie and Sleeping Beauty." Yami could predict what he was going to say so he continued, "The one with the witch hat, not the one that is in a coma."
"Oh! Well he is… interesting." admitted Asta as Yami chuckled.
"That is putting it mildly," said Yami.
"So why don't you make fun of him?" Yami raised a brow at his question.
"Excuse me?"
"You always make fun of anyone you meet at anything. You make fun of someone's looks, how they fight, how they speak or even their names. I don't think you have called someone by their name except for the Wizard King." said Asta as he then turned to his Captain, "So, why haven't you made fun of him?"
Yami laughed loudly, "Quite the observant one, huh? If you want to know, to put it bluntly, I fucked around and I found out and not in the way that you would expect." said Yami as he remembered the last time he did that, "He could have beaten me up when I made fun of his name, but nope, he did something that is a shit ton more effective."
"How so?" Asked Asta.
"Blackmail. He will tell your deepest, darkest and embarrassing fact of your entire life to every Magic Knight that has ever walked the planet. The quickest way of that is that you call him anything other than his full name, every time. You shorten his name or give him a nickname and your name is not Julius? Blackmail, he will tell you and he doesn't even have to be in the same room." Yami talked about it like he had to experien- Wait, "That man basically has ear all over the Kingdom."
"You are kidding!"
"Nope and I wish I didn't." Yami replied with enough force to stop someone. "To make it worse? He knows everything about you before you even meet him. I don't even know how he does know, he just does."
"I- I guess that makes sense, I mean…"
"Don't…"
"Kenneth is kind of a…"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence."
"...silly name."
"I have an announcement to make," Kenneth's voice spoke around as Yami's Communication Device rang loudly throughout the Clover Kingdom, "Remember a couple of months ago when someone accidentally brought several racoons, badgers, skunks and foxes accidently to Clover Kingdom's most luxurious hot spring and forced it to shut down until it was repaired? The culprit is Asta from the Black Bulls, Junior Magic Knight. Goodbye."
"WAIT IT WAS THAT DUMBASS THAT SHUT IT DOWN?!" Jack's voice roared to the device, "THAT DUMBASS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHUTTING IT DOWN FOR 2 MONTHS AND MAKING MY SKIN LOOK LIKE SHIT?! OH WHEN I GET TO HIS ASS I AM GOING TO SLICE THAT LOSER INTO MILLIONS OF PIECES AND THEN PUT HIM BACK TOGETHER TO SLICE HIM UP AGAIN! AND THEN I WILL-"
The device was stopped shortly after as Yami raised his eyebrow.
"That was you?" asked Yami with a look of disappointment.
"It wasn't my fault! It was my first time at a hot spring outside of our base! What else was I supposed to do?!" Asta sighed as he face palmed himself, "How did he even do that!?"
"Don't care. I warned you, you fucked around and found out." said Yami that was the reason why Kenneth Dryll was one of the most feared people in the Clover Kingdom.
