Hayden massaged his temple, then took a deep breath. “So far… I'm trying to solve it on my own. As the Crown Prince, I try not to make a lot of people panic. But,"The nobles listened to Hayden intently. Hayden looked sad and angry.“But I am very arrogant. Because it turns out that I need many people to help me.”Seeing Hayden looking so down, the nobles immediately sympathized with him who had just lost his father but was already carrying the burden of the kingdom alone. Not to mention the news that his mother also fell ill due to the death of the king.Of course, the part about the queen falling ill is just a rumor deliberately spread to get sympathy from many people.Hayden sat down, then motioned for the others to sit down as well.“Your Highness, what exactly has happened this time?” asked a noble carefully.“Before that, why is there an empty seat? Was anyone absent?" Ask Hayden to scrutinize the empty spot.He thought, which family would dare to be absent from the king's summo
-1 hour before the royal meeting-Laura's head peered through the large wooden door. She was inspecting the area around, which was fortunately deserted. The deserter the area around her, the more freely she can express herself.Laura closed the door carefully, then she turned around, and burst into tears. With a groan, she carried Pasha into her arms. She patted Pasha's softback with a careful touch.“BWA- WAAA- WAAA.” Pasha's cries were still booming. Especially now that it was closer to Laura's ear, so the sound was deafening.But that's no big deal.“Young master… sob, how did you get here? Oh lord, what did they do to you that you're so messy? They didn't hurt you did they?" Laura examined Pasha's body, and thankfully, there didn't seem to be any bruises or cuts.When her gaze landed on Pasha's messy hair, she frowned sadly. "That jerk! How could he pull out your hair like that?!”Laura stroked Pasha's head gently.The blood in her heart seemed to be squeezed out as she watched Ha
"Did you hear the birds chirping just now?""Hahahahaha." The army of the Luxor family tightened their laughter at the sarcastic joke said by their leader."That old woman!" A low curse was spoken from the royal army's side.It was not an offensive exclamation for Madame Luxor as she lives her whole life getting curses from her husband's family. The young man's curses even sounded refreshing to her ears.It was not easy for a man with high self-esteem to witness a woman riding a warhorse with a sword strapped to her waist, and even more to become the leader of an army. And of course, the sword wasn't just decoration.Madame Luxor had long kept her fangs carefully for the safety of her family. But now she dared to bite thanks to Fuschia being by her side. If there was no Fuschia, she would still have doubts. Now, she is ready to change the world with her.The commander of the Luxor family glared at the young soldier, then spoke, “Madame, should I give you his neck later?”“Pft! What's
“HOOONKKK!”The battle horn was blown loudly and the sounds shouted back and forth from one group to another in different locations.The sounds signaled something terrible to everyone within the palace. The majestic palace with the largest number of soldiers in the entire kingdom, which seemed to be invincible, that night was surrounded by the rebel army in an instant. The arrival of the rebels left no chance for anyone in the palace to prepare.The servants ran frantically with short breaths in search of a way out. Some ran in groups, some sneaked around like rats, and some chose to hide in places they thought were not visible.Whatever their decision, there was no way out as every existing gate had been surrounded by the invading army that had begun to enter the palace, even the doghole some servants made to sneak out. And they weren't so stupid as to sneak between the soldiers who were fighting.Tremendous confusion and fear washed over the faces of those who regretted having dedic
“Fuschia! Can't find them! Nowhere inside the palace! Both Tuyul or Pasha, oh, and Laura too! Can't find them! I- I try to go there, but can't, I can't it hurt."“Mbayul, whoa whoa calm down, okay? Are you okay?" Fuschia looked concerned at Mbayul who didn't look like Mbayul who was usually relaxed and chill.When someone behaves differently than usual, it's definitely a bad sign.Mbayul took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He was so relieved and panicked at the same time when he saw Fuschia on his way to see her, that he felt the need to get everything that was churning in his head quickly even if it sounded gibberish."So, you… can't find them?" Fuschia asked with a heavy breath.“Uh-huh, they're nowhere to be found inside the palace. I've been looking for them to nook and cranny. You know me right? I know many places in the palace, but still can't find them!”"You can't even feel Tuyul's presence?""Yeah." Mbayul drops his head. He looked so devastated.Fuschia swallowed dryly
"Kill that slave!" Hayden shouted while keeping his sword in his grip but did nothing in a war situation like this.The sword must be ashamed to have Hayden as its owner.Watching Raymon so desperate to fight the figure of a man who had just appeared with a monstrous aura that seep out of his body, which seemed to pounce on the soul of his opponent, the knight commander then took Hayden away."This way, Your Highness."Hayden held his feet on the ground. “Why am I running away?! He's just a slave, how dare he-"“Your Highness! You must save yourself first to save this kingdom!” The knight commander shouted at Hayden with a resentful expression as if he was nagging a child.The knight commander's expression was almost the same as that of his father, the late king, who scolded him for the Fuschia scandal.At that moment Hayden was reminded of his father's words to immediately kill the slave, or the slave would counterattack to take his place. And his father's words happened tonight. Whi
An old wooden door gently opened, but its creaking sound was still audible in the quiet surroundings.“Milady, this is weird. Even until my arrival this afternoon, this place is still bustling with priests' activities.” Laura whispered warily."I know."Fuschia, Laura, and Mbayul were sneaking into the temple building area. They always position themselves in the dark so that their movements are not detected unless their efforts seem futile as no one is there. There wasn't even the slightest shadow because of the dark atmosphere that enveloped them.Even though there was a war in the area of the royal palace which was not far from here, even the scene of chaos could be seen from this place. Still, this is too weird.Even though it's actually an alchemist's lair, isn't it too empty? Shouldn't they also be scared if the rebels turned this place upside down?Fuschia bit her inside flesh. At that time, she heard a low groan behind him.“Eugh, this... is my limit, I can't –buy, no more.”
Somewhere inside Drachentia's palace.The knight commander managed not only to save Hayden but also several other nobles who had been caught up in the battle. There was a count, baron, marquees, and even a few elders from the royal council.On the other hand, Hayden was frowning heavily as his body was forcibly dragged by the knight commander.It would be an exaggeration to say that the knight commander dragged him along when all he did was protect him from another surprise attack by other rebels when Raymon wasn't in a position to protect him.The knight commander and his subordinates led the high-ranking nobles into a room known as Hayden's study per Hayden's request.“What can we do now? We can't lose Drachentia's heart like this!”“How did this all happen? Even Haddad's royal army joined in!"“This is a catastrophe! Does this mean they passed through a forest full of monsters?! To attack us?”“What shall we do now, Your Highness?”The existing nobles thought, is it not that the ro
