Chapter XCVII
“Wouldn’t taking back the capital gives us an advantage, my lady?” Kirei asks, thinking about what the Count had said before.
Karilaya let out a deep sigh remembering the issue at hand. “Let’s say we manage to get the capital back, how long do you think will it take for the empire to lay siege on it again? If we weren’t able to protect it with our full force before, how will we protect it with our meager numbers now? The only reason why we are alive, free, and striving today is all because the imperial soldiers don’t know where we are and have no way to traverse through the jungle because of the changing weather.” It was one of the few things that had kept them safe through all these years.“That’s the reason why you are taking your time fixing the mana pools,” Soraya quickly voiced out her thoughts, realizing what their lady had been doing all this time.“Yes, If it wasn&rRelated chapters

The imperial caravan this time was longer than the previous ones, it boasted almost a hundred carts pulled by horses, carrying different types of wares, weapons, and foods from the empire. Marching on each side of the carts was the usual number of guards. Seeing this just made it much more enticing for the shadows that were lurking within the forest.A lot of them had anticipated the said cargo months ago, after being able to come across some news that came from the empire.All of the people who were hiding began to emerge from the shadows. One by one they began taking place atop the trees, some near the bushes to the road, and others even moving closer“Do you see all that food,” Giro a thirteen-year-old boy felt his mouth water while crawling out of the bushes to take a better look at the cargo that was coming their way.“I bet we could feed all the villages for weeks,” His brother Cicero states as he too

“It’s a trap!” The men kept shouting as one by one their comrades were falling in battle.Black knights continued to come out of the carriages, even the merchants that were driving them were soldiers in disguise. One by one people were getting caught, getting knocked out, or worst, killed.“Everyone, retreat, retreat at once,” the Count ordered.The ones who were trained under the said lord were able to make their way out of the smog, allowing them to escape. But it was different for the townsfolk that came along. Having not much coordination, knowledge of how to fight, where to go, and what they should do. They were unable to properly make their way out, causing several of them to get caught by the enemy.“Giro, everyone’s running away!” Ryho was now panicking seeing several of the soldiers that they were with moving back into the forest.The three boys had just finished

As the smog started to finally disappear. The number of phantoms that were engaging the enemy kept on increasing. It was the only thing that Karilaya was able to think of to make sure that would keep the soldiers occupied while they escaped.So it was quite a surprise when all of a sudden, Count Sanse Lee appeared before them in his high horse. Smiling widely upon seeing the princess.“My lady, with our forces and your phantoms combined, we can still push them back and take spoils,” the man ushers with full confidence as he raises his sword upfront in a battle-like manner.Soraya quickly moves in front to stop the man from further approaching. “Fool, you think your weak, meager forces will be able to take on those imperial knights!” she points out, glaring at the count who was being overly confident.The man though appalled quickly shut his mouth, knowing what was good for him. Seeing the three women together. Princess

After they had made sure that everyone had managed to heal the injured, they had soldiers escort the villagers back to their respective villages, with a message to make sure that the others would know what had happened.“I would expect for this not to happen again, Count Lee,” Karilaya had this stone-cold look on her face, glaring at the man who was the sole reason why she was a force to partake in the battle.Count Lee swallowed hard, feeling that intense look on him. “Apologies, my lady. We were caught unaware of their tricks.” He bows his head even further while kneeling down. Feeling ashamed at the failure that they faced a while ago.“What did you expect after years of raiding,” Soraya ended up scolding the man, unable to hold her tongue since everyone knew they had it coming.“Now that they are on to us. It will only be a matter of time before they find the villages,” Kirei adde

A large crowd from all walks of life had gathered all around the whole palace. Several men and women were kneeling in front of the large chair that was set up for the emperor, just outside the castle. Each one had an ax-wielding soldier beside them. Tied and chained in place, the said people continued to weep and plea at the man who was sitting in boredom on his large, silvery throne.“Sire, please! Have mercy on us, we have children, our families need us,” A man in white robes cried out, hands raised in prayer while groveling.“My lord, we have served your forefathers for generations, this is unjust,” A woman wearing the same clothing wept as she knelt with her hands on the floor.“This is madness, your majesty,” Another man called out, trying to sound brave and wise, even though he was already turning pale.Their newly crowned emperor, Alexander Maxwell, just yawned, fanning his hand on his mou

“Giro! We’re going to get in trouble again,” Metikulo whispered. He quickly grabbed hold of his brothers who were now trying to crawl out of the bushes.They were all hiding near a cliff, watching the imperial caravan pass by on their guarded road. It had always been a little game to them, just looking from afar but after experiencing a raid for the first time. The three seemed to have found a new kind of entertainment. One that manages to wake their blood in thrill and excitement.“Not if ma, doesn’t find out,” Ceciro chuckled as they were dragging their youngest brother.The envy and praise of several of their friends prove very addictive to the three boys, along with the rush of battle, but what truly hooked them was the fact that they did not have to hold back when they fought against the knights. It was the first time that they had to use all their strength just so they could fend off several imper

“It is truly an honor to have you here, your majesty,” Headmaster Artheous had this shaky yet lively tone in his voice.Though it would not show on his face that was covered by his long beard and brows, the faint scent of fear could be noticed from him.“May I once again say my utmost gratitude for your forgiveness and kindness, your majesty. I cannot put into words my gratefulness for allowing us another chance to serve you. Even after what my niece has done,” mistress Moryana gave out a bow as she too was a bit shaky from the mans’ presence.Alexander just nodded, remaining quiet as he kept his eyes out the window. On the lookout for any sign or hint of his lady’s appearance.All three of them were currently sharing a carriage because of his request. He wanted to mask his presence by the use of the two most powerful beings that were there.“May we know what have we done to be given t

Alexander was certain that it was the middle of the night, and yet he could not shake off his agitation. His thoughts were now being clouded as rage was once again starting to take over his mind. A knock on the carriage door manages to remove those thoughts from him.“Your Majesty,” the man whispered.“What of it?” He took in a deep breath, holding on to his patience.“We’ve finished patrolling and have done what you’ve asked,” the soldier states.That woke his senses, making his blood surge. “And?” he was not starting to uncontrollably stomp his feet on the floor.“It seems they’re only here for those things, your majesty,” the soldier states.“Is that so.” That news irritated him.But it still managed to calm his nerves. Knowing that this whole travel was not going to be a waste.“What would you
