Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Lady Nada simply evaded my muttering astonished words, as she bowed her head in respect to this mysterious sound as she said:

"It's an honor to hear these praising words from you, esteemed guardian."

"No need for formalities. I will grant your requests now. per your request, the monster tide here isn't legal, and those who requested it would be punished…"

Just as that voice was speaking, stating the decision he had made, another sound erupted, out of nowhere, interrupting him, while saying:

"Esteemed guardian, pardon my intrusion like this."

I glanced at the newcomer, who was no one else but Ronde! I knew that player wasn't simple, as he even knew the guardian and dared to speak to him like this.

The issue was that Ronde wasn't alone, as he was standing on a white cloud, large enough to hold a town like mine! another colossal thing appeared here, coming from far, from the direction of the monsters.

Ronde stood there, side by side with three very mesmerizing females, who looked slightly older, with great figures, dressing in tight dresses revealing most of their bodies.

"What do you want?" the guardian tone came cold and harsh, giving no heed to him or the three ladies standing by their side.

"Esteemed guardian, our Ronde here wants to defend himself, a right that is given to anyone living under our mighty empire rule!" one of the three, the most beautiful and elegant of them said, waving a small, linen made, fan slowly as if she wasn't interested in facing the guardian.

"Do you dare to threaten me? a concubine yet to be a queen of the empire, a lady of a mere crown prince is trying to interfere and interrupt my judge?"

His introduction to this lady made me startled, she was then one my enemies, or perhaps the leader of them. I glanced, with utmost hatred and anger, towards her, hoping this b*tch could descend lower so I could hit her with my spears!

"No, it's not an offense, not intentionally of course, but I just wanted to remind you of our rules, f…" she was still arrogantly speaking, like she was the superior of this guardian. I already knew where this would end, and so that managed to slightly calm down my anger.

"Scram!"

One word, it only took one word from the guardian and the whole world trembled. All the monsters that were trying to kill me and invade the town were silently killed, simply like this. In the meantime, the guardian words came to add more insult to those standing over the cloud:

"I agree with the requests given by Nada, my ambassador, to remove this injustice monster tide. All personnel related to this issue will be punished, severely punished, and the one who was behind it, player Ronde, will be banished from this game, losing all his qualifications for the guild struggle, losing his right to take part in this game for fifty years."

His words just ended, and suddenly the whole cloud shock, as an invisible force repelled it, making it vanish in a few moments, with the long distances threatening words from that arrogant lady:

"I won't let this matter go simply like this, I promise to punish you properly, all of you!"

With banishing her, and her man like this, I suddenly felt like a heavy rock was removed from my heart. I glanced with much gratitude towards that mysterious guardian, who just harrumphed and then said:

"A mere worthless girl is trying to threaten me! damn that weak crown prince! If you acted sooner than you did, then your man would have been the crown prince instead of this clown!"

Lady Nada bowed her head again, while respectfully saying:

"It's my fault, great guardian, and I hope you won't tolerate this insult to you."

I inwardly smiled, as it seemed Lady Nada was more vengeful that I thought her to be. Using the guardian to attack that b*tch was the right choice to make, as this would keep her hands off me for a while, and might make her lose some in return.

"Sure, this matter won't go by like this. I declare an open investigation regarding this intrusion from the outside world to this game. this isn't the first time an intrusion like this occurs to this game world, and hereby I announce special laws on this world, no one is permitted to enter or exit without my consent first."

Just as his words ended, that great balloon vanished slowly, like it wasn't even there to begin with! In mere minutes, the sky returned pure again, while everything around me was calm and peaceful. Before I could speak, I heard a long horn sound coming from everywhere in the town.

A huge bubble of brown color material appeared surrounding the whole town, before a brown wave appeared starting from the town gate, heading straight towards the other end of the wall, crossing all places inside the walls, passing even me and Lady Nada in an instant.

I felt like my own soul was lashed by a strong massive painful whip that I could never resist. The next moment, I found everything calm again, without any pain or even discomfort.

"Don't worry, this is to replace the NPCs working here," Lady Nada smiled, as she came to stand by my side, looking with her calm face towards me. "Stirring the guardian wrath isn't a wise thing to do. That Britty has gone too far this time, so you can be relaxed for a bit, no one will come to harass you soon."

I blinked twice before asking with disbelief:

"Was the guardian the reinforcements you spoke of?"

"Yes, why do I feel you aren't that amazed seeing him?" she asked, as she felt it right.

"This isn't the first guardian I meet," I simply replied, without saying anything more.

"Oh, you met another one?" her eyes shone brightly as she understood my meaning, "we will have another time to chat about this. Now, let's go and secure our town. We have new NPCs joining us, and we need to greet them."

I nodded, while moving side by side with her, heading towards the nearby main square of the town. "The guardian said you are his representative, is that true?" I asked, as I had many questions to throw at her while we were walking, peacefully and calmly like now.

"Sure," she nodded, before explaining, "the guardian is the one responsible for maintaining this game. He is the one ruling over it, putting on the rules and enforcing them. as the game expanded, he needed some of the trusted ex-players, selected few of us who had this honor, to be selected as the guardian representatives."

"And what do you do, exactly?" I asked, trying to know what else this beautiful calm NPC hid from me.

"We are his eyes and ears here, monitoring the game worlds, and reporting any misbehavior or intrusion at any game world. I have already reported what happened by the witch grave incident, but your enemies defended by using the fact everything happened inside mystic land jurisdiction, not under the game controlled worlds."

She took a deep breath before adding, "and after the previous monster tide and that intrusion from the mystic lands again into the game, I reported this to him, but things developed faster than I initially thought, and then this incident appeared, which made everything in our favor, finally."

I smiled, as I didn't know such a hidden war was raging on behind my back. I started to wonder about other hidden battles I wasn't aware of yet, and their implication over my future and my goals.

"Don't give me this face, at least for now everything will be peaceful for a while, and you can develop easier than before for the next month at least," she added, when she noticed my grim looking worried face.

"Are they still coming after me in a month?" I asked.

"Sure, they are relentless, and wouldn't stop before killing and ruining you and everything you represent. Make sure to know this, they won't stop, and you won't stop, and the winner will only be determined by whose one of you will endure more, not the strongest out of you," she said, as her words carried strange wisdom, like she was able to see the future, and ascertain of yet to come events.

"Sigh, is that how Shin lost?" I asked, suddenly throwing Shin's name in the middle of the talk. Her face slightly changed, as she seemed a bit regretful. I knew from the guardian's words that she had been late on saving him, or helping him, and that might be something she didn't let go of yet.

"You know, Shin has passed his right for the throne to me," I simply said, trying to cheer her up. The moment I said my words, casually, I noticed a great change on her face, in a way that I never saw it before!

"What did you just say? What Shin did?" her tone was shaking, and I didn't know what was the big deal about this. I was the witch reincarnation, someone with a much harder path to cross than a mere competition between princes and princesses over a mere throne!

"He passed his right of the throne to me, that happened just before I headed to the mystic lands, didn't I tell you before about it?" I said, with a silly smile over my face as I felt the tension coming from her grew stronger.

"Are you sure?" she gritted her teeth and asked, with a very serious face that I had never seen like it before on her. "Yes, I'm," I replied, without adding any more words, as the atmosphere around me started to grow cold from tension.

"That bastard!!!" she suddenly said it, with a strange smile over her face, that turned into a very tense laugh, "good move, bastard, good move! So you didn't drop your grudge then! That's interesting, very interesting."

She kept speaking those strange words in a crazy manner while I just glanced towards her, not knowing what was going on here exactly!

"Are you ok?" I finally said it, as she seemed quite bizarre at this moment.
