Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 462: Who are you?

The situation became palpably tense, as the hall suddenly became quiet.

Because of Emery's warning about possible threats earlier today, half a dozen Logress golden knights came fully ready with their weapons.

Some of the nobles panicked and tried to sneak towards the door, while the enemies of Logress merely watched, interested in the current development.

Still half-shocked from being mind controlled for a few seconds, Uther quickly said.

"Merlin… is she… Maeve? The witch?"

Emery shook his head again. How could he think Klea was her? She didn't even fit the description at all and hadn't Uther seen Maeve before, when he was young? It seemed that either the mind control terrified him greatly or this old king apparently was really too old already.

But, when he was about to clear things up, Klea responded faster than him.

She stares toward Uther in anger "Who did you call a witch, you old goat?!"

Klea immediately waved her hand and cast her enchantment spell towards the six golden knights, along with a dozen of knights around the front hall. Their eyes suddenly turned clouded and they all raised their sword towards Uther, shocking everyone in the hall.

The act quickly raised the tension even more.

Arthur jumped in front of his father and took a protective stance. "What is going on, Merlin?"

Klea shrugged, looked at Emery and talked casually "These 6 knights were quite strong, they were pretty hard to control and this young king surprisingly has a high spirit force, my spell was not effective on him."

Not wanting the commotion to continue further, Emery gently held Klea's hand and said. "Klea, stop it, calm down. This is enough."

Emery's gentle voice and touch made her happy beyond words. She quickly calmed down, dispel the enchantment, immediately letting them all go, and said.

"I am sorry, Emery, I just wanted to show you my new skill, that is all."

Klea lifted up her right hand and showed Emery several gold bracelets interlocked into one. Some carved patterns could be seen atop its surface, with some parts glowing whenever the light of the room hit it right.

[Bracelets of Anu]

[Artifact Tier: ???]

This was the artifact she found hidden inside one of Egypt's oldest pyramids. Klea explained that apparently, the bracelets were able to enhance her spirit control ability.

Seeing Emery's concern with the current situation, she said "No need to worry, Emery, I will fix this now."

Emery could sense that Klea concentrated her spirit energy onto her palm. It was then channeled into the bracelets before it sent a shockwave that froze the entire room. Everyone was still for a second, not even the movement of breathing could be seen.

Klea then casually speak out into the hall

"You all shall forget what you saw just now. I was never here and you should ignore us. Have a good time! The wine is great!"

Klea's voice echoed in the room and served as a cue for everything to return as before. With glazed eyes, everyone who was panicked suddenly calmed down. took a glass of wine and returned to talking with each other as if nothing happened. Even the golden knights sheathed their blade with empty eyes and walked back out, while Uther sat on his table eating, ignoring Klea who still stood in the middle.

"It's all done, Emery! Everyone will forget except you, the king, that old man standing in the corner since earlier, and the girl-"

Right as she said that, Klea's eyes narrowed and she realized Gwen's existence. Their eyes met and thanks to her superb spirit reading ability, she could quickly discern that the girl had something to do with Emery.

Klea approached her in a dominating manner and said sternly.

"Who are you?"

Gwen glanced at Emery for a moment and answered, not a hint of fear in her eyes. "My name is Gwenneth."

Klea rolls her eyes for a second "No! I am asking, who are you to my Emery?" Klea replied, putting a special emphasis on 'my'.

Gwen didn't need spirit reading talent to see what's going on and connect the dots. She gave Emery a look and said.

"I am Emery's women," Gwen answered with an unwavering gaze and courage.

Klea glanced at Emery and narrowed her eyes, making Emery feel as if the judgment of the heavens would crash on him at that very moment. Her glance towards Emery was also in purpose to find the answer and she found it right away that it's true.

Klea took a deep breath and sighed. It was abundantly clear if she let her rage take control here, it might end up badly for everyone. Quickly, she calmed herself down, stare back at the golden-haired girl and said.

"You dare to steal him from me?"

With an unwavering gaze and steady voice, Gwen replied.

"How could I steal him from you? It's impossible, we have like each other since we were kids."

Emery, who stood in the back to avoid the brunt of either woman's anger, could only stare helplessly at them. This problem was much harder to deal with compared to any he ever faced. Really, no matter whose side he took, he would be in trouble. Right now, he would rather face Killgragah losing control and wanting to eat him alive than whatever situation he managed to land himself into right now.

With her spirit reading, Klea was able to confirm the truth of her words. Previously her bubbly anger was threatening to spill but apparently hearing that they knew each other since kids calmed her down. She walked towards Emery and said.

"So, this is the Gwen you were always thinking about. I understand now."

Now that she calmed down, she was able to properly assess the situation and regain her usual calm attitude. She grabbed Emery by his arm, smiled sweetly and said in a relaxed tone.

"Emery, this place is too crowded. shall we leave? Be a gentleman and show me around will you? I want to see places you usually visit"

Emery unconsciously glanced at Gwen, who was looking back at him with mixed feelings.

Klea's insistent tug brought his focus back to her when He finally nodded and agreed.

They walked towards the door together and just before they left, the queen of Egypt gave a serious look towards Gwen and said.

"This is not over. We will talk later." she then turns her gaze to the hall and continues

"As for now.. enjoy the party everyone! Bye"
