94. Never Back Down
It wasn't news of the war's defeat that left everyone stunned, but the information brought by the younger brother of Princess Vivian Scarez, the eldest daughter of the leader of the Eastar sorcerer clan who married King Pentapore’s son.
"Julius the witch's target is the Groendez family, a vendetta for the betrayal of the former King Groendez, which drove him to ruthlessly attack humans." Albertus, the leader of the Crescent Moon Unit, said.
All the kings involved in the post-war council remained silent, including King Groendez himself.
A slightly audible inhale sound came from King Pentapore, making everyone turn to him. "Regardless of the truth about the allegedly erased history, Julius the witch’s offer is clear. His target is only the Groendez Kingdom."

‘This time, I won't back down. I'm not afraid, even if I have to suffer—even if I have to die.’Grace held her throbbing head. She couldn't believe those words had come out of her mouth in front of the king and so many people. Yet, she didn't regret it; she was just surprised at how brave she had become.After the conflict in the throne room, the queen managed to calm the king and Adro, then ordered the guards to take Grace back to her room.It had been a long time since Grace had felt this way. In the past, whenever she was in deep distress but realized that Bella and Sarah were too busy, she always kept everything to herself. Just like now, she could only stare out the window and have one-sided conversations with her late parents.Suddenly, a knock sound came from the door, then it opened just as Grace finished wiping her tears and stood up from her chair."Y-Your Majesty," Grace bowed as the queen entered.Queen Groendez smiled at Grace—not the friendliest smile she had ever seen.

"That garden... didn't you create it for Princess Jocelyn?"Grace's soft question caught Adro off guard. "What?""You two have spent time together since childhood in that garden. You shared many beautiful memories," Grace continued. Then a wistful smile formed on her lips, and she rubbed her arms. "I feel guilty and terribly embarrassed for daring to be alone with you in that garden."Adro closed his eyes tightly. Of course. He was a natural idiot! How could he not think about the possibility of Grace hearing the story about the garden from the hundreds of servant mouths surrounding her? Or worse, hearing it directly from Jocelyn. He only made himself look like a shameless jerk."Adro." Grace snapped him out of his r

Adro took a deep breath and knocked on the door in front of him. Shortly after, the door opened, and Adro smiled gently."Sorry to disturb your rest,"Grace shook her head, though a surprised expression still lingered on her face. "It's… it's okay. But why are you here?""There's something important I need to talk to you about." Adro replied, pausing for a moment before continuing, "It'll be brief. After this, I won't bother you again and might go back to being busy with war meetings."Grace closed her eyes, shaking her head. She opened her bedroom door wider and shifted her body. "Apologies. Of course. Please come in."As Grace sat on the edge of her be

"Place the crystal on the floor, and it will move as the steps of its memory owner," Adro read the paper from Vizo."I hope he didn't have too many important places," Grace said as she placed the crystal ball on the floor. "It’s a bit embarrassing to ask this, but why were they only helping us halfway like this?""Because sorcerers are only assigned and allowed to use their magic for the kingdom's defense purposes. What they're doing for you would be considered a violation unless you manage to find the cave." Adro explained.Grace squinted her eyes. "Is your kingdom that harsh?"Adro pressed a smile. "Not everything is a happy ending tale in the fairyland, love."Suddenly, the Trace Reader Crystal shone and began to move."The crystal!" exclaimed Grace before the

"That bastard," Adro seethed."This will be the greatest war in history. Not a war to determine which kingdom will rule, but a war that will decide the future of humanity," declared King Pentapore.King Groendez took a deep breath. His hands intertwined and floated in front of his face. After nearly five minutes of contemplation amid the chaos of the kings in the meeting room, he spoke up;"We have no choice but to face that sorcerer. Julius has no code of war ethics. His goal is to destroy me, and he will justify any means to achieve it." Then he paused briefly before gazing at everyone present and continuing, "This war belongs to the Groendez family. I won't hold you back if you choose to leave us, but if you stay, you must participate in this war."All fell silent, exchanging glances. Then, King Volev asked, "What about the girl fr

Grace stared in surprise at Damian and Jocelyn standing before her."I'll try not to trouble you. It’s a promise." Jocelyn said."No… Please don't say that," Grace said.Adro took a deep breath. "It's not that we're worried about you, but your father. You didn't inform him about this—in other words, you're running away with Damian and Grace.""I promise to defend you with my life if my father gets angry at you two. Please, allow me to come," Jocelyn pleaded."I-I don't mind if Princess Jocelyn joins, but... they said the journey would be dangerous, so I'll leave the decision to Prince Damian instead." Grace looked at the man, who was folding his arms across his chest.Damian shrugged. "I’ve told Adro that I can protect both of you. Jocelyn is not as weak as you think. She has been practicing archery with me for quite some time."Jocelyn smiled gently. "Thank you, Damian."Damian winked. "That's the trut

The group entered the forest with minimal lighting to avoid attracting attention. Grace rode a horse alongside Damian.After ensuring they were far enough from the palace, Damian raised one hand, signaling the group to stop. "Open the baggage carriage!"Damian jumped off of his horse, followed by Grace. He climbed onto the small carriage and opened a food box placed on the top stack."Are you okay?" Damian asked while pulling out a girl dressed as a boy."Jocelyn, are you alright?" Grace joined.Catching her breath, Jocelyn nodded. "I'm fine. Thank you.""Princess Jocelyn? How did you end up in there?" A guard asked.Damian carried Joclyn down from the carriage. "Stretch your legs first. It must feel stiff after bending for so long." The

"Grace." Jocelyn gazed at her, pulling out her arrow with trembling hands."We need to run from here," Grace whispered, preparing her sword. "On the count of three, shoot the one blocking our way, and run."Jocelyn nodded; meanwhile, the snakes hissed louder and crawled closer."One.""Two."Grace tightened her grip on the sword, taking a deep breath. "Three!"Jocelyn's arrow flew, striking the snake standing in front of them right in the neck. This angered the other snakes to attack them.One of the nearest snakes moved to strike Grace, but she swung her sword as quickly as possible, injuring it. Before the other snakes could reach them, they ran as fast as they could."Oh... darn it..." Grace huffed in her run.Jocelyn looked back, only to find the snakes were almost catching up to them. At the same time, her untrained legs began to give in."Hold on!" Grace shouted, reading Jocelyn's condition.Seeing on
