The Castaline Kingdom? A very well-known name in the entire Western Continent.
It was said that the first king built a nation of prosperity, power, justice, truth, and pride. The First King was able to draw humans to one nation and as the First King who ruled, this nation of pride has become a legendary nation of not just prosperity but also gifted with many talents of warriors and knights.
The First King's development of his military power was so much that, when war broke, he always won, thus his people trusted him with their life. His soldiers and his people respected him until his final rest.
To we're the crown was worn by his daughter, the First Queen who developed the Kingdoms Economy, building and agriculture thus the First Queen was named 'Mother of the Nation' she, however, continued the legacy of her father and continued managing the military power even so she's busy with her economy works as a Queen.
The Castaline Kingdom grew much stronger because of the Kings and Queens. Unlike other kingdoms, Castaline does not disallow Females to rule, as the Castaline Kingdom is an equal nation of both men and women even in the authority of the Knight.
The Castaline Kingdom has a history produced and honored by the Goddess, the Castaline Kingdom was a place of Dignity and Respect, Justice and Pride... It is the pride of the Human Race...
They are a living legend since the First King 900 years ago, it was a long legacy but that was also the long legacy of peace, between the Castaline Kingdom and the stone hearts of the slain demon.
However, war and bandit raids can't be avoided. Conquers of another kingdom can't be stopped, bandits' manifestation can't be delayed, thus there's never been peace, to begin with.
War is intended, for necessary affairs for one desire and other’s intentions. As war didn't stop, others were jealous of Castaline's Power... They want those powers for themselves...
That is why Esmia cannot let her nation fall, whatever the cause, she will fly to the frontline and fight. That was her as a Queen of a high-status kingdom, to ensure no harm in the peace treaty and that she will provide necessary back-up if the contractors of that treaty needed an assistant but if the treaty is broken, the kingdoms will fall into a war, a world phenomenon war.
Esmia sighs closing the book she always reads when she's uncertain of something. From her desk, she stood up and turned against her balcony to view the wonderful kingdom of her family.
"I was just like her when my father became corrupted to power, I must say, she's interesting as a child... Where did she come from? "
She thought, within the murmuring beautiful winds coming through her face.
She gasped for air and made a sigh before she returned to her seat ready to take care of the pile of paperwork that she was dealing with.
While Esmia continued her works, Yubin was entertained by the King, who's supposed to be working his paper works but since Yubin was introduced to him that day, he clings like a father to the Lady of a Slave.
Louise Edre Sevelen, his former last name. Born in the Sevelen Family, a marquis under the reign of Esmia's Father the former king, he was acknowledged by Esmia's father, both because of his control over his ability and because of his unique master swordsman skills.
Louise has the ability to control over a light-type divine attribution, melting into a white-type shadow that only its level we're most priests should be able to reach first. However, due to the abilities rarely appearing, only a few were able to join the church but because Louise did not join, he was used in war by Esmia's father and we're both Esmia and he fought alongside each other.
Louise was a proud man so when he had discovered the truth behind the mask of Esmia's father, he stopped obeying because he can't be honorable to a man with a disgusting personality... He tried escaping with Esmia to form a rebellion, but Esmia took the first step before he could.
That lady who fought alongside him did not hesitate to kill his own blooded father to bring the dignity of the Castaline Kingdom, to inform a new treaty in the Castaline's Flag.
Esmia reigns to the throne, and she becomes a Queen... As Louise was about to take his oath, Esmia bowed to him confessing a feeling she had to hide because of the situation.
Little did Louise know, he had fallen deeply in love with that woman. He didn't just know what the comforts of the woman were, so he laughed as he remembered the time he had with her and told her his foolishness.
He knew he loved her, but because he doesn't know how to court a lady, he decided to stay silent and made his feelings his stronger companion and he didn't stop from there, he told her that he was so foolish to make an oath even so he has the craving feelings for Esmia's attention.
He pronounced Love as a difficult understanding, he always thought about these feelings not until his companions made fun of him being a bump thus he finally understood such eminence emotions.
Esmia was so shocked that she can't tell if she was focused or not, she couldn't flicker as Louise continued the speech of his past. She didn't know it was like that, she didn't know that time that he was avoiding her not because he hates her but because this man is like a thick shell who does not understand his own feelings.
Louise gave him a smile and he began to propose. He didn't want to make Esmia the one to propose first so he did it so Esmia won't take the first step again.
Esmia, of course, did not reject and accepted with her full heart, she knew that this man is better than anyone else. She loves him and he loves her more, so Esmia made her vow that time.
Louise's last name becomes his 2 names, for the Castaline Kingdom must use the Castaline as the last name if they become the King of which the Queen becomes the Ruler.
That is a rather complicated rule but it was made to make the Castaline a proud border so that they must never forget the name Castaline that was imprinted as their blooded mark.
So Louise Edre Sevelen Castaline becomes the King, making the Sevelen ranking into a Duke.
"Hmph, it's really hard when you don't have a name to call you... Hmm, how about I call you Phine? " Louise said to Yubin when she looked at him thinking if naming a slave even important... She thought that maybe he wasLouise’s comforting her because Yubin was a slave.
She didn't want to say that her name was Sapphire Phoebe Militia Ardilara... So she thought that maybe the name he wanted to call her wasn't bad either.
She softly nods, unable to speak, because she's unable to say anything. They of course let her stay in the palace until the Queen decided her to leave or the Queen decided to accept her as a servant...
So Yubin has become a free soul thanks to the Queen's kindness of will. She was thinking that if they offer her to become a servant she'll just do it to survive but if she were to be ordered to leave she will leave even though she doesn't know where to live.
If that was the Queen's choice, she won't reject them because she owes her thy life. Yubin started smiling as she remembered the kindness the King and the Queen showed her... She badly wanted to talk and say her thanks to them, so Yubin decided to talk to them at breakfast.
"Uhm, His Majesty, is the Queen always that busy? " She asked...
Lately, Yubin noticed that the Queen can't join her and her husband to lunch and dinner. She can only join in breakfast but that's all when she's around, lately, she's never been found so she was quite curious about the Queen.
"I supposed you can call that busy, we might be the most powerful kingdom, but our lack of talents within the Palace Office is quite low at the moment so the Queen has to do her part and I am doing mine but the Queen usually insisted on handling half of the paper works while I do the 4th and the nobles will do their part." His answer made Yubin think about this world's lackings of office workers, so she thought that they lack assistance on how do they manage to find people with talents? Or thus the Queen cannot trust people that easily.
"Aha, so that was why." She hesitantly smiled before she looked at the sky.
"His Majesty, we need your assistance!" When the awkwardness fell unto both of them, a Knight wearing the emblem of the Castaline dashed his way through the garden that was restricted for Yubin's picnic.
"What is it?" Louise asked his knight, then he started moving his body, turning his attention to the Knight who dashes his way through without thinking about the restrictions.
"A Marquis Son and A Count Son had a ruckus fight at the Knights Headquarters, they made a huge commotion and they destroyed 1/4 of the palace property, they were also both injured with severe wounds so we request your assistance in this matter, his majesty!" The Knight didn't hesitate to answer his majesty's question, with the tune of concern and exhaustion... He immediately bowed to ask his assistance, before the mention of trouble makers would destroy every property of the palace.
"Lead the way! Uhm, Phine wait here for a mo--" Yubin snatched Louise hands as she shakes her head telling him that she wanted to join them, but because Louise can't reject the cuteness of Yubin, it ended up as he nodded and took Yubin in his arm lifting her like a bag of suck.
While the Knight in front of them was left with jow drop seeing their King with a kid they remember as the slave... However, with the situation that was happening, the Knight didn't bother noticing it and instead, he led his king to the location of the ruckus.
While Louise was coming, the lad at the Knight's Headquarters continued watching both of a 15-year-old kid fighting and destroying the properties of the Palace.
"Stop it!" Even so with the Female Knights stopping them, the two brats can't stop and they can't be stopped, they continued fighting and fighting until both took several injuries.
From afar, Louise noticed the long crowds given the fact that the two troublemakers have done it again for 50 times they bump into each other, both of them fighting like headstrong idiots.
When they arrived, Louise let go of Yubin as he held her hands so she wouldn't be left behind. They entered the scene where we're until now, the two of them are fighting.
"What happened?" Louise asked the Knight that got him here.
"His Highness, Lord Wilhelm arrived an hour ago in an attempt on joining the squad that will participate in training the wannabe Knights, however, Lord Finn was chosen as a candidate for the squad that will partake, so Lord Wilhelm wasn't able to control his anger when Lord Finn insulted him..." He discussed, Louise nodded after his discussion as he thought what would be a way to stop them, I can't have Esmia to take care of two brats, should we ban them or should I punish them, he thought.
However, the method of punishing them became his weakest point when he thought that the family of these two would complain non-stop.
So his mind wasn't able to find a method to stop them but Yubin didn't bother thinking, instead, he took her chance, and when she was in front of them, she gave her best to remember the Novels authority or how Sapphire did her move.
When she remembers the mechanics, her body moved in disappearance with the wind blowing high against her move, she controlled her ability in shape so that she could teleport without a problem.
She stabilized herself and the teleportation ability worked, she immediately disappeared once more and the last thing they saw was her face, filled with vivid limitations.
She lifts her hands and when she appears again, it was unexpected because the timing was so perfect when Yubin slapped the face of these two problem child, their face was so painful that they stopped fighting.
When their senses went back to normal they immediately looked at the girl who slapped them, "who are you to slap me!? " Found in total confusion, both spoke the same question...
She gives a quick cough, they complain so she slapped them again, this time the two were so angry that they wished to hurt Yubin but she immediately slapped them again and again until their faces were swollen.
They thought to stop complaining because her slap was so unbelievably strong, her slap was too painful for them to bear, that is the reason both of them tried stopping their cries.

[Goddess Slap level 5]
She wanted to laugh in her mind, so even a slap can damage someone? She asked herself unable to think of the situation while the people were looking at them, Yubin was looking at the board fonts written in the mid-air.
The hell? Just for a slap?
She started looking at her hands... Those crazy gods, bestowing me such OP abilities...
She clenched her teeth and decided to look at those two that she slapped so many times.
"I didn't mean to hurt you both, haha, but you two must not do any more damage to the palace property! If you do, the Queen will be a lot busier and if that happens, I won't see her tomorrow's breakfast so behave yourselves!"
She pointed at the two of them, she knew that her slap was painful so she tried making an excuse. Besides she's a slave, slapping two noble's, she's going to die if she continues this however her mind does not approve, because they are troubling the Queens piled of works.
"Y-you! How dare you? " She noticed the other boy that was sobbing holding his face so tightly, she didn't want to make them cry either but they've done it.
She gave a quick sigh before she pulled the two boys' heads and quickly hugged them both. She patted them on the head hoping to stop their sobbing like a baby.
"Fighting doesn't solve everything, so if you two can't get along well, please be my friend and start getting along other than messing with this place, damaging the palace property, and destroying your family's name..."
