“I wonder where she is now. Can you tell me?”
For the next few seconds, neither of them spoke.
"I don't know where Harriet is. Just ask Heath directly," said Eoin flatly.
“Aish,” Eoin irritatedly placed his beer glass on the table. “If I ask my son, he won't answer. You know how much Heath loves his sister. And they both don't want to meet Helena."
Axias glared at Eoin and guessed right on target, “So Helena wants to meet Harriet?”
Eoin looked back at his brother and nodded while taking a deep breath. “Helena heard that Harriet was pregnant. She immediately wanted to meet her.”
The bustling atmosphere in the tavern began to feel muffled in Axias' ears. Anger began to appear on the middle-aged man's face. Helena… wanted to meet Harriet?
Nonsense. What does that crazy woman want f
Heath and Miriam had just returned from their meeting with Ezekiel and Ezra in the palace. They decided to take a little ride, but they didn't get out of the carriage.Heath told Miriam about the current state of affairs in the capital and Empire. A war would occur, and although it was not confirmed, it was already inevitable. He explained what happened to Ezekiel and Ezra at the garden party too.When Miriam heard that a Saintess was defending Sorcery, she felt furious. She remembered how her brother-in-law, Liam was in pain on the floor of the top room of the tower a few months ago. She also remembered how Harriet had suffered from it.“How can a Saintess defend Sorcery?! Is she crazy? She must be out of her mind, Heath!” said Miriam angrily. Her brows furrowed deeply and her hands clenched tightly. “W-what are we going to do now? If war really happened… then…”
After being satisfied riding through the capital and sightseeing the busy streets and buildings, Heath and Miriam returned to the hotel. As they entered the reception area, their personal concierge came forward to face them. “Young Lord, Young Madam, two gentlemen are waiting for you in the guest meeting room. Would you be willing to be escorted to meet them?” Hearing what the concierge said, Heath touched Miriam's right hand and held it gently. He then followed the boy into the guest meeting room with Miriam by his side. As the door opened, Heath was frozen to the spot. He saw Axias and Eoin sitting on the sofa waiting for them. Miriam who didn't know who they were looked at Heath in surprise. She had never met the Emperor, much less Eoin. But she widened her eyes when she saw Heath bowing respectfully and saying his greetings. “Heath Goldlane of
"No." Heath answered firmly. But he added. "Not for now. My sister is having a lot in mind and she is focused on something very important. When I feel the time is right, I will ask her. But not now,” Heath answered in an absolute voice. Eoin felt a little dissatisfied, but he knew that he couldn't force it. He muttered, "Hmm, you are stubborn, just like your grandfather." Axias smiled, and he agreed to Heath's decision. He also agreed about Heath's stubbornness which reminded him of his and Eoin's Father, the Second Emperor. Well, if Heath still won't tell his sister, Eoin would try to find the woman himself and ask her if she was willing to meet her mother or not. Of course, he wasn't going to let them meet right away. Harriet was an understanding child. Eoin only met the girl twice, but he felt it was enough to guess what
That afternoon, at the hotel, after Eoin left, Axias looked deeply at Heath. "Are you willing to help in this war?" asked Axias. "I do. I'll stay in the capital until it's over," Heath said. Then Heath asked his wife once more, "Would Miriam also want to help?" “Of course,” Miriam smiled gently. Heath and Axias smiled at each other. They then confirmed the amount of attack power the Amaryllis Clan could offer, and at the same time decided how to cover up their troop movement from the West. “This time, since we suspect there will be Sorcerer among our enemy, Lycan's participation will be more acceptable and ethical. Sorcery is more dangerous than any large army, so make sure you guys also be careful,” Axias said as he was about to say goodbye. Miriam and Heath returned to their room, feeling a little calmer. “We will send a l
ZZRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSHHHHHHHH The sound of rain hitting the roof and windows of a house in Obsidian Port City filled the house. RUMBLE RUMBLE ZZRRRSHHHHH TAK TAK TAK TAK TAK “Ah-chee!” Harriet wiped her nose after a sneeze. The cold and damp air attacked her when suddenly it rained. She sat by the window on the side of the house. She was reading the latest report she had received from Jake Scolecite about the current state of the Imperial Continent. Just as she was so into it that she didn't notice the sky had turned dark and the rain was pouring down heavily, a long blanket was suddenly draped over her shoulders. Harriet looked up and smiled at Liam who came over with a cup of hot tea. The man put the cup and saucer on the side table and lowered his head, kissing Harriet on the cheek. "It's getting worse,
“Sorcery, and now a fucking Wyvern–” The Emperor let out a sharp sigh. In front of him now, a line of ministers and the Imperial council had gathered. In the throne room that was filled with all the most important people in the Euclase Empire and all the invited guests who came to the wedding, Axias cursed. “Haven't the Wyverns been exterminated by His Grace the Old Duke and His Majesty, Emperor Soleil I? How can there still be–” "Sorcery," Ezra interrupted Ezekiel's question, then added, "And Necromancy." Ezra who was still wearing her wedding dress furrowed her brows in memory of the events in her previous life. Supposedly, the experiments that Ethan conducted to create a strong air force still have not yielded results for now. Did someone help him…? And… why in this life did Ethan dare to show his trump card right away? E
“How many Mages can you offer, Crown Prince Hyacinth?” The Emperor's question marked the confirmation of his agreement to ask Heinrich for help. Hearing this, Heinrich smiled happily. “One hundred,” replied Heinrich. “But they are all my personal troops that are only tied to me, not the Hyacinth Kingdom or anyone else. You can assume that I am helping on my own behalf, not my Kingdom.” A hundred Mages were already a great help. The Emperor hoped that there weren't too many Wyverns for the opponent to ride–because if there were more than a hundred, it meant that the Diamond Duchy had prepared all of this long ago and the Emperor didn't smell any suspicious scent from them at all. Ezra thought the same thing. All of this was too fast and too sudden. How could the Diamonds have managed to build the Wyvern Rider Squad so quickly? There was no way they
“They say Diamond Duchy owns a Wyvern.” "Are you kidding? Hey! Don't spread unnecessary rumours!" "I am not kidding! The news had already spread throughout the capital, and even the Emperor had an important meeting. About Wyverns!” “Alright, back to work, everyone,” said a voice interrupting the guards who were conversing with one another. They all bowed their heads and saluted with weapons in hand at the sight of two women who appeared in their knight uniforms. Arai Padparadscha and the Leader of the Dawn Knight Order, Dame Caitlyn Emerald, walked into the fort. After the two of them walked in and went up to the top of the fort, Dame Emerald turned to her right hand, Arai, who had followed her all the way up here. “So what everyone said about the Wyvern is true?” Arai asked her boss. Caitlyn nodded. “I was at the meeting to
