On an uninhabited island in the Circus Kingdom's territory, a woman sat on a rock while looking at the magic projection. The woman had shoulder-length whitish gold hair and had an oval face. She was wearing a white lab coat and glasses on his eyes.

The woman's face looked tense and frightened, looking at the image in the magic projection. An unknown man defeated the God Beast leviathan with ease. It was far beyond the woman's prediction.

The woman was named Oillet and partner of Fornius. Unlike the other major gods. Fornius' partner has no fighting skills at all. She only excelled in research than the other divine race people.

Oillet quickly contacted Fornius after seeing Leviathan, and the person who defeated it had disappeared from the magic projection. She had to pass that information on to Fornius because Leviathan was one of their most valuable research objects.

After a long wait, Fornius finally came to the place. He appeared with a gloomy face, and it scared Oillet.

"I'm sorry if I have bothered you, Lord Fornius. But I must report it to you immediately because it is crucial." Oillet lowered her head to Fornius. She was afraid that Fornius was angry with her.

"Don't think about it. Explain in more detail what you told me earlier. I've checked the last place Leviathan was seen, but I couldn't find the slightest trace of the monster's whereabouts." Fornius had gone to where Ziel and Leviathan were fighting before coming to the island to meet Oillet. He was surprised that he didn't find the slightest trace of Leviathan or the person who defeated it.

"Ah, that is..." Oillet begins to explain the chronology of the fight from the beginning of Ziel suddenly dropping a giant asteroid until he cuts Leviathan's body and disappears from the place without a trace. Oillet couldn't see Ziel's face clearly because his magic projection was shooting from a distance so the signal wouldn't be affected by their fight. She also didn't want Ziel to know that he was being watched. Unfortunately, she couldn't record the fight. Otherwise, she wouldn't need to explain it so hard.

Fornius was shocked after hearing Oillet's explanation. Although he sure can beat Leviathan, he can't beat that easily.

"I'm sorry, Lord Fornius. If only I could fight, I could at least help Leviathan fight that guy or see his face more clearly." Oillet was frightened because Fornius was silent and didn't answer right away. She lowered her head for fear of seeing Fornius' eyes directly.

"I don't blame you. In the first place, I chose you because of your expertise in research and not your fighting ability. If I want to pick a great person in combat, he should have research skills equal to or above yours. Leviathan is also one of the results of your research. So don't be discouraged. I might find something more interesting for your next research material." Fornius suddenly remembered Princess Irene's ability. He intended to take her with him as research material for Oillet.

"Is that true, Lord Fornius? Where is the research material? let me see it!" Oillet's attitude changed 180 degrees after hearing the research material. She was no longer afraid to look Fornius in the eye.

"I like your research spirit. But sadly, I don't have it at the moment. I will report all this matter to the temple first, then pick up the research object. You have to look after yourself while I'm gone." Fornius smiled and promised Oillet. After that, he left Oillet alone on the island without waiting for her answer.

Oillet sighed heavily and looked back at the magic projector before her eyes. What she saw right now was the collection of DNA from the magical beasts she had collected up until now.

"I will do my best to be of use to Lord Fornius!" Oillet became more excited after motivating herself. She focused on the magic projector in front of her and ignored everything around her.

Ziel quickly returned to the castle after he finished his business outside. He returned when it was evening, and soon it was dinner time. Ziel quietly entered his room. Coincidentally, Dalvin and James were sleeping. Because of that, he could return easily without getting any troublesome questions.

He returned to his room initially to rest for a while. But without him knowing, he fell asleep and was woken up by Dalvin and James. They were going to the hall where the people from the academy had dinner.

Ziel got up, cleaned himself up, and followed them into the hall. Along the way, Dalvin and James talked about Kyouka and the heroes who had returned this afternoon. Ziel only answered them with answers as needed.

Upon reaching the hall, Ziel was greeted by Clara, who waved her hand at him. Clara was with the girls she used to be with, except for Kalya. She and the other teachers sat down to have dinner with a girl with long blue hair. That girl is Princess Cordelia. She was not wearing her armor and was only wearing casual clothes. However, that doesn't detract from her beauty.

"Where have you been, Ken? Did you know that Kyouka and the other heroes have returned? Irene has also returned!" Clara spoke excitedly. She forgot that she was currently bringing her food.

"Clara, the food you brought might fall if you get too excited like that." Princess Iris smiled wryly and warned her.

"Oh, yes. Luckily you reminded me." Clara smiled shyly. After that, Clara and the other girls moved to the table they had ordered earlier. Ziel opened his voice first after they all sat down on their seats.

"I've heard of Dalvin and James. I'm sorry that I fell asleep in my room and just woke up." Ziel answered Clara's previous question calmly.

"He's right. He had slept very well earlier. We didn't have the heart to wake him up either. But he will miss his dinner if we let him continue sleeping." Dalvin added and strengthened Ziel's earlier words. Princess Freya raised her eyebrows after hearing that. She thought Ziel was exhausted from helping her find Prince Fritz this afternoon.

"If you are exhausted, you better rest early." Princess Freya said worriedly to Ziel.

"Freya is right. You can continue your rest and then eat after you wake up later. Or you can take your dinner back to your room. I'll have the maid do it." Princess Aishia also feels the same way with Princess Freya. She even went to the trouble of calling a servant for him.

The behavior of the two Princesses provoked the gazes of those around them, especially Dalvin, James, and Clara. They opened their mouths wide due to Princess Freya and Princess Aishia's excessive attention to Ziel.

On the other hand, Princess Iris pouted. She was envious of Princess Freya and Princess Aishia, who increasingly dared to show their concern for Ziel in public even though it was only in front of their group. She had realized how she felt for Ziel all along, but she still didn't want to admit it.

"I thank you for your concern. I'm sorry if I made you worry. I'll be taking a rest as soon as dinner is over." Ziel answered them politely. But his poker face softened upon hearing their attention to him.

Princess Freya and Princess Aishia pouted after getting a formal answer from Ziel. Unlike Kalya, they couldn't tell the change in his facial expression.

"I've been wondering since I walked into this hall, the beautiful girl sitting with the teachers, who is she?" Clara looked at Princess Cordelia, smiling while chatting with Kalya and the other teachers.

"Don't you know her, Clara? She is very famous in Cirlus Kingdom. No, she was even known to the entire human kingdom. She is one of the role models for girls throughout the human region, the young general of the Cirlus Kingdom, Cordelia Cirlus." Princess Aishia smiled and answered Clara's question. She used to hear her name too often and had seen her picture before. Princess Cordelia even earned praise from her father that she was one of the brightest young geniuses on the Clorius continent.

"I adore her too! At a very young age, she already has such great abilities. Besides that, she has a lovely face and a good temper. She even has a lot of nicknames out there. Her most famous nicknames are the Goddess of War from the Cirlus Kingdom, the incarnation of the Goddess of Water, and Sea Princess." Princess Freya answered excitedly.

"You are right. She does look gorgeous and amazing. Hmm...Cordelia Cirlus? Doesn't that mean she is...?" Clara looked at Princess Aishia and wanted to confirm what she was thinking right now.

"She is the older sister of Princess Rinne and the first Princess of the Cirlus Kingdom. I heard that she had received many wedding invitations inside and outside the Cirlus Kingdom. Prince Albert was one of the people who had proposed to Princess Cordelia but was rejected. Princess Cordelia reasoned that she didn't want to think about romance for the time being. but I don't know what about now." Princess Aishia gives an additional explanation about Princess Cordelia.

"Eh? I just found out that information. No wonder Prince Albert kept glancing at her ever since. I guess he was fascinated the first time he saw Princess Cordelia. It turns out that there is a past story like that between them." Princess Freya looked at Prince Albert, sitting with Hikaru and the other heroes.

"Okay. We're done with that chat. It's not good if you gossip about other people like that. We'd better finish our dinner soon." Princess Aishia warns Princess Freya. She didn't want their conversation to be overheard by the people of the Cirlus Kingdom.

"Oh, I see." Princess Freya quickly knew what Princess Aishia's words meant. She saw the servants prepared by the Cirlus Kingdom were serving in various places in the hall. She saw the servants of the Cirlus Kingdom serving in various locations in the hall. If any of the servants accidentally overheard Princess Freya and the others' conversation, they might get into trouble.

Ziel looked at Princess Cordelia. He didn't see her because she was pretty or curious after hearing the girls talk about her. But because Princess Cordelia emitted a strange aura that looked divine. Ziel quickly shifted his gaze from Princess Cordelia towards the hall entrance because he sensed that a guest had come to the place.

When the hall door opened, King Redis and his family entered the room. Unlike his usual self, the current King Redis wore a smiling face. He walked over to the table where King Raghnall and Merlick had dinner. Queen Triana and her sons and daughters followed behind King Redis.

"Look, Ken! It's Irene!" Clara said excitedly while pointing at Princess Irene. She forgot her table manners.

On the other hand, Ziel frowned upon seeing the appearance of King Redis and his family. He was not displeased with their appearance but because they carried the divine race mark within their bodies. Such a mark could only be bestowed by a True God. He knew the person who gave it might be the one who brought Leviathan to the Cirlus Kingdom, but he didn't know why the divine race gave its mark to King Redis and his family. For now, Ziel can only observe them while figuring out the purpose of the Divine Race.

"Please pay attention to your table manners, my lady." Ziel reminded Clara. Then he glanced at Lilith. She gave a slight nod to Ziel. It showed that the person who gave the mark to King Redis and his family was the main God of the 'God Domain' organization.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm too happy!" Clara smiled without any remorse. Ziel could only sigh in response.

"You can talk to her later, my lady. But you should finish your dinner first now." Ziel doesn't mind Clara's attitude. For now, Ziel should pay more attention to Clara and the girls around her when they are with Princess Irene. It was because the person who gave the mark could come at any time to King Redis and his family. After that person from the divine race appeared, it was possible that That person would injure Clara or the girls around her.

"Good evening, King Raghnall. I'm sorry that my appearance today interfered with your dinner time. I also apologize for forcing my way into this place." King Redis greeted King Raghnall with a big smile. There was no hint of arrogance on his face which he usually showed.

"What do you want by coming to this place?" King Raghnall replied in a relatively high tone. He seemed to be trying to suppress his anger from exploding.

"I just wanted to express my gratitude in person that my son and daughter have returned safely." King Redis still kept a big smile on his face. But that only made King Raghnall even more annoyed.

"Did you think I didn't know that you were the cause of the magical beast invasion of my kingdom!?" King Raghnall shouted angrily at king Redis and could no longer suppress his emotions.. His scream caught the attention of the people in the hall.
