Chapter 293 Allen's Job Is To Use Others, Not The Other Way Around
One of the main reasons why he dressed up Distere was for him to know how useful his <Supreme Fashionista> and <Supreme Cosplayer> talents were. And Allen wasn't disappointed with the results since Distere looked completely different from his previous appearance.
With that in mind, Distere was confident in joining Alisceon as her bodyguard since the old man who was known as the king of Gaia wouldn't be able to know his true identity.
After walking for half a minute, they finally arrived at the door that led to the royal palace.
There were two 7th Star Knights that guarded the door of the royal palace but after seeing both the first princess and second prince at the doorstep, the two knights immediately opened the door and bowed to them.
After the entrance the royal palace was opened by the two 7th Star Knights, Alisceon and Reid entered the royal with their entourage.
What greeted their sight was a long hallway that was guarded by several 5th Star Knights and 6th Star Knights. It wasn't an exaggeration to claim that most of the military forces of the Gaia Kingdom were dispatched to oversee the security of the royal palace.
The few knights that didn't guard the royal palace were mostly assigned to patrol the kingdom so that there wouldn't be any crime committed while the majority of the powerful knights were at the royal palace.
Those knights below the 5th Star rank were assigned to patrol the kingdom so all of the knights that were at the royal palace were at least at the 5th Star rank.
After a stride in the royal hallway that lasted for half a minute, Alisceon and Reid finally arrived at the royal ballroom.
After they entered the royal ballroom, the doorman of the royal ballroom announced their arrival.
"The first princess Alisceon Gaia and the second prince Reid Vale Gaia have arrived!"
"The Supreme Mage Allen Walker and the Ultimate Knight Noel Varistor have arrived!"
Hearing the entrance of the first princess as well as the second prince, the royal siblings of Alisceon and Reid shifted their attention toward them.
Those royal siblings of them had arrived earlier than them. It was clear that Alisceon and Reid were the only ones who hadn't arrived until now.
Naturally, the royal siblings of Alisceon aside from Reid wouldn't bother about her but the current situation was now different than before. Unlike before, the first princess barely had any supporters. But now, Alisceon managed to win over the support of the Supreme Mage which caused the other royal siblings of Alisceon to look at her with envy.
All of them wanted to obtain the support of the Supreme Mage since doing so would increase their chances of winning the battle for the throne.
They weren't like the first prince and second prince who was fortunate enough to earn the support of the royal court mage and the Ultimate Knight by becoming their disciples.
They were well aware that they weren't as talented as the first prince and second prince when it came to magic and swordsmanship respectively. Of course, their talent wasn't bad and could be regarded as excellent, but compared to geniuses such as the first prince and the second prince, they paled in comparison.
But for them to have managed to win the support of other nobles while preventing those nobles from going to support the first prince or second prince, spoke of how formidable they were. After all, those royal siblings of Alisceon could only use their intelligence along with their status. They were the ones who instigated the death of Alisceon which was prevented by the Supreme Mage.
Thinking about that incident, those royal siblings of Alisceon who were the masterminds behind Alisceon's attempted assassination only gritted their teeth while thinking that Alisceon's luck surpassed theirs.
At that time, they came to an agreement that when it came to luck, Alisceon definitely surpassed them!
They didn't know Alisceon's talent in magic so they had thought that she was lucky enough to earn the support of the Supreme Mage through unknown means. But after observing Alisceon's cute appearance, they guessed that Alisceon must have seduced the Supreme Mage while playing as the damsel in distress during the time that the Supreme Mage saved her.
The female royal siblings of Alisceon thought of that possibility to quell their anger and jealousy towards Alisceon. They thought that if it was them in Alisceon's situation, they were confident that they could seduce Alisceon.
If Allen read about those thoughts of Alisceon's female royal siblings, he would laugh at their stupidity.
When Allen entered the royal ballroom as he followed Alisceon while staying at her side, he noticed that Alisceon's royal siblings as well as the nobles in the ballroom were staring at him as if they were looking at a fat sheep.
Noticing the greed hidden in their eyes while some didn't bother in hiding it, Allen ignored them since he could care less about the thoughts of those who were weaker than him. As long as they didn't bother offending him, then he would let them live.
After all, if he killed those who had evil intentions towards him, even Allen would be troubled by the greatly reduced population in the world. The great population reduction would cause an imbalance in the ecosystem of the world as well as the order of society.
It wasn't Allen being arrogant since he indeed had the power to make those who had evil intentions towards him die. He just didn't bother doing that since he would be no different from a psychopath. Even he had a bottom line.
Especially in his home world, there were far too many people who had evil intentions toward him. If he killed them, then it would at least be a hundred million.
Although Allen couldn't care less about what other people thought of him, he still didn't want to become someone who abused his power to kill someone just because he wanted to kill them.
If Allen knew about one thing from reading villain protagonist novels, then it was that either they survived or died miserably. Even those who had survived still suffered a lot of sacrifices just to survive.
Well, now that he remembered those novels he read, even the life of the protagonist of a novel that had a hero as a protagonist suffered as well.
It seemed that whatever he chose, life and reality wouldn't let someone enjoy living a peaceful reality that was free from troubles.
Thinking about that, Allen sighed in his mind. He was well aware that he wasn't powerful enough to transcend the concepts of life and reality, much less defeat and surpass them.
His fast way of becoming stronger was via the chat group and because of that, Allen took the completion of the Main Task seriously. If he didn't complete it seriously and doing so would lead to the Main Task's failure, even Allen would have some difficulty in accepting that.
Although he was confident that with the powers he had received from the chat group especially the <Supreme Order> talent and <[Absolute Order]> authority, he didn't have to rely on the chat group to become stronger.
But even his growth speed would be a lot slower than when he had the support of the chat group.
So for the sake of the completion of the Main Task, Allen dared not create a bad reputation for himself in this world. Because of that, he couldn't kill those he wanted to kill without providing any righteous reason or something like that.
The Heretic Gods wouldn't sit still if he ran rampant in this world. If he made an enemy towards everyone in this world, he would be labeled as either the demon king or an evil god.
With that outcome, those Heretic Gods wouldn't miss the opportunity to promote their religion by lending their aid in killing an evil god.
Allen could use others, but he wouldn't let others use him. Naturally, he wouldn't allow the Heretic Gods to use him.
As the Supreme Hidden Boss, it was his job to use others and treat them as his chess piece, not the other way around.
It wasn't within Allen's interest in killing the nobles and royalties in the Monthly Royal Gathering and causing a scene that would not only ruin his reputation but also make trouble for Alisceon.
Allen's love towards Alisceon ranked fourth in his heart. The first was without a doubt Iris which was followed by Asther.
As for the third one, it was Seref since he had met Seref earlier than Alisceon. Allen could discern from Seref's expressions that he truly treated him as his sworn brother. Because of that, he also regarded Seref as his sworn brother, which made Seref only rank below Asther in his heart of people he cared about.
Of course, sworn brother or his real brother, none of them mattered when it came to his lover, Iris Aria. She would always be the number 1 in his heart.
