CEO In A Fantasy World Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Returning

"Clak"

"General, we are about a days out from the kingdom"

"Good, let's move through the night and reach home faster"

"Yes sir"

The army marched through the night in relative peacefulness… The wind was chilly and the only sound the soldiers could hear was their own breathing.

--8 hours later--

The guards stationed at the kingdom gates saw a black spec moving under the horizon, suddenly more and more black specs came in to view. The guard kept squinting his eyes until he saw the recognizable flag and then yelled excitedly.

"T-There back!"

"Ring the bell"

"The knights are back!"

"Creak"

The castle gates were lifted up to allow pa.s.sage, soon word that the army was back spread through the entire kingdom like wildfire. All of the available civilians rushed over to see the returning men.

Soon word pa.s.sed to the king…

"Wonderful! We will hold a grand banquet tonight"

He turned to a nearby minister.

"Go invite all of the n.o.bles, we will be having a splendid celebration"

The crown prince soon stepped forward and looked towards the king.

"Father is it really the time for a banquet? the kingdoms towards the south are moving suspiciously"
"Yes, it is indeed the time" The king laughed and said.

Caesar and the army finally laid eyes upon the kingdom gates, relief and happiness shone on all of the knights… They could finally take a break and be with their families.

The knights felt their fatigue wash away and their vigor return… Caesar urged his horse to go a little faster, the knights followed.

Caesar and the army soon walked pa.s.sed the gates, the girls nearby were absolutely mesmerized in front of the army was an absolutely stunning man, white skin that had no blemish.. Long and beautiful white hair that reached the bottom of his back, seductive facial features like a fox and most of all those charming scarlet eyes.

"Ahhhhh"

The women started squealing at the sight of Caesar…

"Ahh my son is back!"

"Haha my friend jon lets go for a drink celebrating your return"

"Hehe are you finally going to marry me leo?"

The atmosphere was very merry as the soldiers returned… Soon the last line of soldiers walked through the gates while carrying quite a few stretchers, white cloth covered the bodies.

"Where is my son?" A middle aged woman started rummaging through the crowd

"Sam where are you!"

"SAM" the lady yelled

Soon she opened up the cloth on one of the bodies and started bursting out crying…

"Oh my Sam how could you have left me"

Similar things were happening all over the place, the merry atmosphere now turned into a depressing one.

Caesar turned to one of the captains near him and said in a serious tone…

"Make sure their families are compensated"

"Yes general!"

Caesar broke off from the knights and urged his horse towards his manor… He too had a family to greet, as Caesar strolled through the similar streets all of the civilians or guards he pa.s.sed bowed with respect.

Caesar soon pa.s.sed the manor gates and hopped off of his horse, he walked towards the doors and knocked.

"Knock"

Soon the door opened and Sebastian showed his face, once Sebastian recognized Caesar his face blossomed with a smile and said.

"Welcome back young master, I will go tell the lord you have returned"

Sebastian started walked back towards where Crowley was, Caesar smiled wryly and looked behind him, a small 12 year old girls head soon popped out.

"Uncle is this your home?"

"No, this is our home"

"Hehe, it's really big"

Caesar walked into the manor and entered the main hall, Elizabeth was looking at all of the expensive looking furniture with stars in her eyes.

"Step"

"Step"

"Son you have returned!"

"I promised you I would"

Crowley walked forward and hugged Caesar tightly.

"I was worried about you"

As crowley said this he opened his eyes and saw the little elizabeth jumping on the couch while giggling. Confusion filled his eyes as he ask Caesar.

"Who is this little girl?"

"This is my adopted daughter" Caesar said while smiling slyly

"Adopted daughter s-son you can't just adopt a daughter like that!" Crowley opened his mouth wide enough to place a goose egg inside of it.

"Haha, don't worry about the complicated stuff father, you can just say she is one of my illegitimate children"

Crowley looked as if his soul was taken out of him as he deflated and sat on the couch…

"Sebastian go bring me some wine" Crowley said

Elizabeth soon ran over to Crowley with clumsy steps than started observing his face close up

"What?" Crowley said surprised

"Are you my grandpa?" She smiled brightly

Crowley seemed to melt with that single sentence and started rubbing her hair with his hand

"Yes, yes, I am your grandfather from now on"

Caesar laughed inside, you truly are soft father!, Caesar looked towards his father and said

"I'm going to go rest in my room"

"Okay, the king is holding a banquet tonight, both of us are on the list so we are going"

"Sigh, okay" Caesar said he started walking up the stairs to his room.

"Creak"

"Slam"

Caesar opened and closed his door, he took off his outfit and put a robe on. After getting comfortable Caesar started thinking about his future plans while laying in bed. "According to the knowledge of the previous owner of this body. this is one of the smaller kingdoms in the continent called Rahvin located in the northern parts of the dragon continent" Caesar thought inwardly.

There were four main continents in the world Althoria, the dark continent where all of the monsters dwell, the dragon continent where humans and elves thrive, the heavenly cloud continent where the church rules and lastly the molten continent with dwarves and trolls.

Caesar wanted to find a way to gain authority in this vast world, the best way Caesar could think of was starting a business. He was a master at it in his previous life, on top of that, with his modern knowledge it should be a breeze.

Caesar soon fell asleep with a smile on his face.

"Knock"

"Knock"

The sound of knocking woke Caesar up from his slumber

"Yes?" Caesar asked still half asleep.

"Young master the banquet starts soon, you need to get ready"

"Yawn, i'll be right there" Caesar stretched his limbs and walked towards his closet, Caesar soon picked out a nice looking suit that had a pair of slim black jeans and a white b.u.t.toned up shirt that had a dark blue bow tie, a nice 4 b.u.t.ton vest went around the shirt and it looked overall very sophisticated. Caesar put on a pair of shoes and walked outside of the room.

"Ah Caesar! Quickly get into the carriage"

"Yea, yea. I'm coming" Caesar walked slowly towards the carriage and got on.

"Is sebastian not coming?" Caesar inquired from his father

"He is going to look after Elizabeth" Crowley simply stated

Sudden Crowley showed a shocked expression as he looked towards Caesar

"Your eyes? They changed colors"

"Ah yes, while in battle with an elf they suddenly changed colors"

"Is it a curse?" Crowley asked worriedly

"No, father…. I feel fine"

"Well, okay then. I hope you are not lying to me son" Suspicion filled Crowley's eyes

The carriage moved slowly through the dead of night and they soon arrived at the inner castle gates.

"Identification please"

Crowley showed him the badge and placed it back in his pocket

"Have a fantastic night Lord Crowley"

The carriage soon parked next to the others and they walked up the same stairs as last time. As They walked into the banquet… Last time no one noticed their presence but this time everyone turned their heads and looked at them.

Suddenly a loud voice echoed from the middle of the room.

"Ah Mephesto Pheles, the guest of honor. Come share a gla.s.s of wine with me" The king roared

Caesar smiled and walked over to the king gracefully…

"It would be my honor" Caesar said as he did a beautiful half bow

"Haha, no need to be courteous, because of your great merits in battle… Not to mention only losing 1/4th of your troops I have granted you the t.i.tle of Marshall. In the military you are second to none when it comes to authority haha"

The king laughed out as he said this, Caesar looked blankly at the king "Is it really okay to give me such an important role so quickly" Caesar asked

"Even though we are a somewhat strong kingdoms we have had no qualified n.o.bles capable of becoming generals since your grandfather pa.s.sed… so of course it is okay, who else would lead our men if not for you"

"I see, Thank you for your graciousness" Caesar said with a smile

"Haha, my minister will give you the imperial decree tonight."

Caesar nodded his head and sat down. He could see the angry expressions of the three princes… "which one is the mole? I wonder" Caesar thought to himself.

Everyone was having a great time drinking and laughing, suddenly the second prince sat down in front of Caesar and asked him question.
"So how did you get rid of the elves in the northern forest?""

"Ahem, through battle" Caesar couldn't help but laugh inside

A vein popped on the second princes forehead as he asked again.

"How did you defeat them in battle specifically?" the second prince asked again

"Superior tactics" Caesar said with a sly grin

"I heard that the forest is now burnt to a crisp this wouldn't be due to you right?" The second prince said in an irritated and fast tone

Caesar opened his mouth wide and made a surprised expression

"What!?!?1 how did that happen, who told you that the forest burned?"

"Hmph, I have my connections"

Caesar started smiling inside "This second prince is actually quite stupid"

"Ding"

"Ding"

The king started hitting the side of his gla.s.s cup with a spoon as he smiled towards everyone…

"I would like to introduce to you all two very special guests that are visiting all the way from the heavenly cloud continent their names are Anthony and Riza. They are two aspiring priest and priestess respectively in the church."

Two people walked in with white robes and were smiling to their ears, Riza had long sky blue hair that reached the middle of her back, she had delicate features and looked over all quite cute. Anthony had short dark blue hair slicked back and looked overall very honest.

They both walked towards the king and shook hands than sat next to Caesar, Riza looked towards Caesar smiled and offered to shake hands.

Caesar looked at her hand for a second but then his eyes turned cold "They reek of blood" He thought inwardly
