All Chapters of Conquering the Duke: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

The knights followed Gia closely without missing a single move. They planned to step on the same path as her to not get lost in that man's illusion. However, if they get too close to her, she will discover them, and she will alert that man, so they had to be cautious and stay a few meters behind her. Even if that means getting there a few minutes later to capture them.Gia moved quickly towards the exit of the manor, and she jumped into a horse without getting caught. The road was very well known to her, as she had grown there and traveled around many times. She even knew where the traps were hidden. Therefore, she was sure that no one will have the ability to follow her. At least no one didn't know about the special land of the General.However, she never thought that the one following her would be the Duke's people. The special shadow knights.She thought that he was already preparing to take her with him. Her delusion made her believe that he was already head

"Did you hear?""What?""About the Duchess…"The rumors around the Capital and the towns of Avalor hadn't stopped for several days. The news about the wife of the Great Duke of Avalor and her scheme with the Crown Prince of Luriem, hadn't stopped spreading around.Now, not only the towns near the Capital had known about them, but the whole country knew about them."She is a traitor!""After the end of the war, how despicable!""But… are we going to war again?""I don't think so, the King of Luriem had already sent an official response that his son had acted on his own…""How can we believe that?"The fear of another war of hundreds of years had enveloped the hearts of the population. And so, the hatred for the Crown Prince and Emma grew to new heights among the commoners.On the other hand, the nobles and ministers knew that something else was happening. There were other rumors, more li

The journey was difficult, they couldn't use the space magic that much, so they chose to buy two horses and move slowly to the south."Who is that friend of yours, Master?" Emma's eyes were lifeless most of the time, her thoughts were still in the man that had already forgotten her. However, the old Master helped her fight the depressive mood from time to time with many teachings and training."He is an old monk of an ancient Temple," Master Jin smiled, "you will like him, he is… unique."Emma narrowed her eyes, 'that was some strange word to describe someone,' she thought. However, Master Jin had always been a very strange person.***"Have you gathered everyone?"The Duke was training in the secret base of the Royal Estate. It had been so long from the last time he came inside the base to train himself. However, this was a desperate situation and the opponent was formidable. It would be a mistake not to take him seriously."Y

"Hey, where did that stupid lad go?"The mercenaries moved around the road. "He went inside that house. Surround it, he is not an ordinary fighter."The lifeless bodies of at least five mercenaries were lying on the ground with cuts and blood coming out from them. However, that didn't mean anything to the others, they had gone through worse fights. Still, to be so easily overpowered by some young lad was an insult to their clan."Get him out of there!" the leader raised a hand, they lit their arrows to set fire to the little house.Emma tore one side of the house to let the people inside move out quickly. She gave them some money too, after all, they were innocent civilians, and if not for her and her master, they wouldn't have to suffer."Thank you," the old woman said, "come with us, they won't let you live.""It is okay, grandma," Emma smiled with her boy's disguise, "I am strong, they will be over after tonight. Go before they notice."

For the last two days, several groups of mercenaries and assassins had tried to stop their way, all of them from the same group as the first one. However, none of them could even land a hand on them. They will always end up injured or killed without mercy. Many corpses were left in their path to the temple in the Southern Mountains. "I am tired," Emma had taken a few times the essence in the Healing sphere but sometimes, she had to use her abilities to heal herself. After all, the essence was a precious gift, and it should be used only in emergencies."My dear," Master Jin took a sip of his aromatic tea, it was a delicacy they had stopped to buy, "if you want to become stronger, the battlefield is the best way to start.""Sigh... but it is tiring," she took a sip on the tea and relaxed a little. "I hope we can stay here for a bit longer.""You know we can't, my dear.""I know... I only wish..." she had in mind Liam's face, every single day he was stil
