As Harriet pulled out her loudspeaker, suddenly the night sky brightened with white light. A giant magic circle formed in the sky–
[People and Nobles of the Diamond Duchy]
Harriet started talking into the loudspeaker. Her white-clothed self stood out on the plateau, illuminated by the white light from the magic circle in the sky.
[I am Duchess Harriet Goldlane, and next to me is Prince Zaha Serpentes, the Army Leader of the Serpentes Kingdom who took over the Diamond Duchy Region and has controlled it during your wars here]
Harriet turned to Zaha for him to speak.
[I'm Zaha Serpentes. We have your families, your children, your women, and parents]
Zaha spoke in the Varanus language, and quickly, everyone who was fighting stopped for a moment. Their eyes widened in shock and their mouths opened wide.
[As you can hear from the
White light enveloped the sky. The magic circle shone brightly on the battlefield as if it was daytime, even though it was night. Heinrich finally finished casting his spell. [Lumine] The bright light from the sky began to quickly burn the Wyverns to ashes–and only the Wyverns! This was a complex spell with a selective and specific target. No humans were caught in the spell even if they were drowned and were dazzled by the spell's light. Immediately, the Wyverns fell to the ground, and their wings began to burn to ashes from the hot glow of Heinrich's spell. Liam quickly ran to Harriet and intended to take her to safety. WOOF! Harriet chuckled as Liam appeared and lowered his body before her. Zaha quickly helped her onto Liam's back, and Harriet then grabbed Zaha's hand to join her. Liam ran to take th
Harriet's words made the two imperial healers sob. They saw the Emperor coming carried by Liam and they watched as Ezra tried to heal him with her Holy Energy. It was a nightmare. “If the Emperor just needs to rest, I can look after him here. You guys go and help Her Highness Euclase,” said Harriet. The two healers looked at each other and looked doubtful. “Duchess, you should rest yourself. We hear your voice from here–you have done a lot to help us in this war…” Harriet shook her head. “I will stay here with the Emperor. I'll just sit and watch him. It counts as resting," Harriet insisted. The healers gave up trying to persuade Harriet to lie down in a more comfortable place. They brought out a soft mat for Harriet to sit on, then bowed their heads and resigned themselves. After the healers left to return to their duties to help treat the war vi
Ethan blocked the bright light from blinding his eyes with one hand. But then he realized that his Wyverns had begun to wobble because of burnt skin and wings.KIEEEEEEK!KIEEEEEEEEEEK!His Alpha Wyvern started to fall, and Ethan realized it was because its wings were starting to perforate from the heat of the magic light Heinrich had created.“So this is what they were planning?!” Ethan clicked his tongue. He manoeuvred so his Wyvern could land smoothly, and he quickly understood why Heinrich had used that spell.It didn't kill the Wyverns, but it rendered them unable to fly. Now, on land, they could be more easily attacked.But, as long as their Wyverns weren't dead, they could still attack!"I don't care how. Kill as many people as you can. Go!” he ordered the Wyverns.And the Wyvern's screams wer
October 24th, 157th of Euclase Imperial Year. The war between the rebel forces led by Ethan Diamond the Sorcerer against Euclase Imperial Supreme had ended. The one-day great war was won by the Army of the Euclase Empire, and every rebel had been captured and held as a prisoner of war. Evidence of Sorcery was found in the Diamond Castle and the Alchemist Tower in the Diamond Duchy, brought by Harriet and Liam. With this, the Diamond Duchy was officially deemed as perished and recorded in history as a cruel noble family who did not hesitate to use their power to commit crimes and forbidden art. However, Harriet, who realized one fact that was forgotten by everyone almost flipped the table in anger. “What do you mean Celine Diamond can't be found?!” The Emperor's aides flinched at Harriet's anger. They had never seen Harriet this angry–plus the fact that Harriet was pregn
While Ezra and Harriet were having a weird first meeting that oddly looked like a reunion, Ezekiel's presence in that place was forgotten. He was actually nervous about appearing before Harriet after not seeing each other for a long time–and after what had happened a few months ago. But he was a little relieved to see that Harriet was healthy and… felt complicated seeing her growing belly. “I came to report the injured victim. I'm here because it seems like the others would be able to deal with the less seriously injured without me. Also, that super duper cool doctor from the East Continent that you brought along, aaaaaaah!! He is so beautiful and talented!” Ezra spoke very quickly and cheerfully, making the atmosphere in the place so bright and breezy. “Mm, isn't he very reliable? You should talk to him sometime. Whenever we hear his story about the East Continent, the Duke and I get very engrossed… even though he
Harriet rode on Liam's back. Following them were the Amaryllis Pack and Heath who was leading them. They were at the very back of the Imperial Army's convoy that was on its way back to the Capital. After driving from morning until noon, Harriet began to feel sleepy. Moreover, on Liam's back, it felt like she was being gently rocked. Her husband's fur and body temperature were warm and soft, and she almost fell asleep. Not because she was tired, but because it felt so comfortable on Liam's back. Warf! Arf arf! Harriet was startled by Heath's deep barking behind her. She awoke for a moment from her drowsiness and looked back in surprise. A big question mark appeared on her face. But then all the Lycans stopped walking when Liam stopped and lowered his body. Harriet got down and looked confused because she was the only one who had absolutely no idea
Harriet finally breathed a sigh of relief after laughing. She rubbed her growing belly and smiled happily. She leaned against Liam's body which was leaning against a large tree. After eating a few pieces of beef jerky, Liam returned the bag of food to Harriet. And Harriet slowly picked up another piece to snack on. "Isn't it weird that sometimes I can't eat meat out of pity for the animals, and other times I feel really hungry and want meat?" asked Harriet with a deep breath. This time Harriet looked so serious and a little sad, but Liam's body was shaking from holding back laughter again at his wife's words. He didn't know why Harriet was suddenly joking around like this and had even complimented him casually. Usually, Liam was the one who joked and complimented Harriet shamelessly in order to tease her. Was Harriet in a good mood? But looking at
The night before, Harriet had been discussing what everyone should do once they got to the capital, including securing Ethan Diamond and deciding on his public execution. She talked to the Emperor's subordinates, Nobles, and the Emperor himself that they should give the Diamond area to someone strong enough to guard it at this time, as those who evacuated to the South and North would soon return to where they were before. Before that, they had to thoroughly cleanse Sorcery to the core by giving the former Diamond's territory to someone strong and trustworthy. Instantly, several names were mentioned. One of them was Ezekiel. After everyone realized that Axias and Ezekiel could die at any moment in a shocking event, they got anxious and suggested that the Empire take over the area themselves and expand their power. Thus giving Ezekiel a Grand Duke t
