'Ah...as expected...'Drip_ Drip_ Drip_Blood fell on the floor from Alden's lips.He was beating his lips very hard...He was on the verge of splitting his lips in two with his teeth.His whole body trembled as he glared at Aita.If not for the Emperor and Empress' presence, he would have ripped apart Aita's body.Never had he felt so humiliated in his life.It was true that he didn't find them in the forest but he wasn't picking flowers!He didn't even sleep as he searched for them day and night!So, when Aita said all these things plus, with what he said before, he eventually reached his limits."Your Majesty I-""Shut up. You didn't hear me ?"Aita cut off Alden coldly."Hey Aita-"As expected, even Selena found Aita very harsh towards Alden.Well, Alden acted like that first towards Aita, but still...But before she spoke, Aita removed the armband clasped on his left arm.All eyes opened wide upon seeing the object Aita raised with his hand."I'm not lying. That old man gave me

[Lunarstella Imperial Palace]Clank!Wooden doors slowly opened inside a fairly large room.From the door, a brown-haired man entered.He glanced inside the room.A large rectangular room was set in the middle of the room.Around the table, six people were seated."Sigh...I am the last."Isaac scratched his head awkwardly."Like always!"The blue-haired beauty, Lynda, replied to him angrily."Ah sorry! I slept late!"Saying this, he walked toward his seat."You should be more aware of your status, Isaac."A black-haired, middle-aged man shook his head."You shouldn't talk when you were late yesterday, Jerry."Another man wearing glasses mocked Jerry."Shut up Robert! The kiddy, Lord Commander, told me to bring him something to eat! That's why I-""Sigh...stop it you two..."A blond-haired woman intervened to stop their quarrel.She had a soothing atmosphere around her.The two calmed down after hearing the woman's voice."Zara."Suddenly, Alden called out to the woman."Yes, Vice-Comm

"And that person seemed to be in connivance with a high-ranking noble in Solaria.""W-What?!"Selena couldn't believe what her father said."It's the truth, Selena, that and the fact that the assassins knew exactly the road you would take in the Prosae forest."Selena lowered her head.Now that she thought about it, the assassins were too informed about them..."T-There is something I don't understand. The heroes of Solaria are famous for being strong and protected, right ? So how could a hero have been kidnapped and killed so easily ?"Selena asked, finding something strange."There is a reason for that. It seems that the Hero Orion didn't have any offensive attributes, so he was quickly shunned by his comrades and the nobles there. He did have a good relationship with the princess there but he gathered even more hostility because of that. He was harassed by both nobles and other heroes."Linus explained what he learned from one of their spies in Solaria."Then they let him be kidnap

Clip Clop! Clip Clop! Clip Clop!The sound of horses' hooves stamping on the ground echoed.The carriage driven by the horses attracted numerous stares, or rather it attracted everyone's gaze.The horses were white and looked very healthy.The carriage was in a beautiful silver color with the emblem of the Lunarstella Imperial family engraved on it.Inside the large carriage were two people.A beautiful blond-haired woman in her twenties was reading a file on one side.On the other side was a black-haired youth sleeping on the other bench.Zara, who was reading a file, glanced at the sleeping Aita.A smile emerged on her face upon seeing his innocent face.Since he was inside the carriage, he took off his mask, thus showing his face.He always looked on guard and wary of everyone awake that Zara found his current defenseless appearance adorable.'Theo…'Looking at Aita, she remembered her dead younger brother.He was her only family member and he died five years ago alone.At that tim

"I would not like to waste time any more, so hand me all the information about the issues in the Frozen forest."Zara palmed her face.The nobles around frowned at Aita's words.Though he was the Lord Commander of the Lunarstella Empire, he was still in front of a King.So he had to show some respect."My apologies, Your Majesty. Lord Aita is tired from the trip so-"Zara tried to give the same obvious excuse to justify Aita's humor, but before that Yvanick waved his hand."Don't worry about that, Zara."Yvanick smiled and continued."Linus has already briefed me about him.""I see."Zara sighed in relief, as the king didn't seem angry."You want to quickly finish your work here, right ?"Yvanick asked Aita."Yeah.""Then, Lord Commander, have dinner with us and I will explain to you what you have to do.""..."Aita looked at Yvanick and understood that he wouldn't budge in his decision."Whatever."Leaving those words, he walked off.Zara smiled awkwardly and followed Aita."He is qu
