"So, what do you say? Is my offer generous enough?" He asked raising an eyebrow."Yes, your highness," Ajax responded."Give me a moment; let me talk this out with Hudson," Ajax said as he did a half bow and turned to look at Hudson."What do you think about his offer? Do you have up to 300,000 gold coins in the system’s vault as we speak? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we need this offer," Ajax said in a low tone, staring at Hudson."Yes, I do have that amount in the system’s vault, but don’t you think the amount of gold coins he is calling outrageous? This amount is almost all the money I have left in the system’s vault," Hudson replied softly.The king could barely hear what they were talking about, but he hoped that they would accept his offer. Brabus, on the other hand, was just standing behind them and watching as they discussed amongst themselves."Hudson, that doesn’t matter at the moment; what is the use of the coins if you won’t be able to spend them when

***Ajax and his men were running on a road path that was in between trees as they arrived in front of a wall that was made from huge stones. They halted as they looked around and saw a man and about six guards standing in front of the stones. The man was Athens. Athens was shocked by the number of men that were in front of him, and he told his guards to follow him as they walked closer to them. Ajax, on the other hand, recognized Athens swiftly as the king’s right-hand man.Ajax knew not to run, as Athens and his men were outnumbered. Also, there was no turning back for him at this point. Athens folded his arms as he arrived in front of Ajax. "Who are you all, and why are you all running through this path?" Athens asked curiously. He could see the Bristol lights clearly and knew that there was a high-ranking magician amongst them. Athens was looking at the dressing of one of the men; he was checking to know where they were coming from, as he knew all the styles people in the magical

It was only a long pair of trousers that he was wearing under the robe. Alexander had huge muscles with veins all over his body. Seeing his muscles, Ajax and Hudson's mouths opened wide in awe. They were shocked to see how huge the king was under the robe.Ajax gulped. ‘Holy Magnitoz, I never knew the king was this muscular under that robe; how do I fight against him now? He is like times two my size; I can’t back out of the combat either; I will have to fight him even with the possibility that he would beat me hands down and kill me in the process’ Ajax thought."Now, let’s begin the combat; the rest of you should move backwards for now," Alexander said in a rumbling tone. He could sense the fear that they had after seeing how he looked under his robe.Hudson and the guards move backward, creating space in the center of the chamber. Alexander and Ajax stood in the center of the chamber, both in a fighting stance. ‘This might be one of the toughest fights and probably the last fight o

Two days later, it was the day of Ajax's coronation to become king.They were hosting the ceremony in the open field of the palace. There were multiple chairs arranged across the field, with guests from all over the city. Dean Agatos, King Julius, Brabus, and a couple of other people in the city—both people that Hudson and Ajax have dealt with in the past—were all present.Hudson and Ajax were inside the king’s chambers. Hudson was helping Ajax get ready for the coronation. Hudson placed the large crown with diamonds encrusted in it on Ajax’s head. Ajax was wearing a robe that was made from lion skin. This was the way that the old sorcerer asked Ajax to dress for the ceremony. He is the one who is going to crown Ajax as the new king of the city."You are going to be officially crowned as the new king of Magnitoz City; how do you feel?" Hudson asked, staring at Ajax with a smile."I don’t know how to feel, but I know I feel happy," Ajax responded."I heard most of the citizens will be

"Me too; do you remember the first day we met?" Ajax inquired, raising an eyebrow."Of course, I don’t know if I remember all the details, but I do remember the encounter; you were the one that saved me from going into the academy when I didn’t have the academy seal on me," Hudson responded."Exactly. I remember telling you that I felt a strange connection between me and you, and now look at where we are today," Ajax said with a smile."We made history together and saved the city from the tyrant king; none of these would have been possible without you," Ajax added."Yeah," Hudson muttered as he placed his left hand on his missing eye. Ajax noticed the sad look on his face as he touched his eye. He could tell Hudson was hurt about losing his eye. "I am sorry you lost your eyes," Ajax said in a soft tone."No, it’s fine; you don’t have to say that; it was a small price to pay for our victory," Hudson replied as he removed his hand from the eye. Even though Hudson was hurt about losing a
