Evening.The dusk sky over the city of Carlisle slowly turns black with scattered white stars, numbering in the hundreds or even infinity. Right at the change of the hour, Carlisle began to show its beauty with lanterns, torches, and other trinkets decorating all city corners.At first glance, Tobias saw the peaceful and beautiful scene as if it were a hidden paradise in Equestria. The children were all dressed up; the women adorned themselves as beautifully as possible to please their husbands or loved ones.Tobias was one of those who had prepared. He didn't bring any fancy clothes, like the typical suits of the nobles.Leonora realized that, given that Tobias had been traveling as a traveler for the past few weeks, not living in a grand palace as a nobleman.Through the palace maid, she gave Tobias a suit of clothes that his father used to wear. The woman was sure that a fancy white shirt with matching pants would suit Tobias.The young m

***The next day."Are you leaving?" Leonora asked.She was worried about Tobias' safety. It wasn't without reason; the two were planning to get married in the near future, and she didn't want anything bad to happen to Tobias."Are you worried about our marriage plans?" asked James."Of course. I don't want you to leave me," Leonora replied.Tobias laughed slightly when he saw Leonora showing her pouty face, a sweet pout. Her pampered look had appeared since last night, precisely after the two arrived at the Emerald Palace of Carlisle.She was reluctant to let go of Tobias' hand, throwing teasing advances and even leaning on his shoulder when it was deserted.The maids at the Emerald Palace noticed Leonora's change in demeanor. However, they thought it was normal for a woman in puberty to do so. Leonora is 25 now, three years older than Tobias.The two were in the middle of a beautiful period of romance. No one dared to

Adrian hurriedly ordered his soldiers to rush in to secure Tobias from being caught by Equestria. Thousands of Jiyu soldiers dashed, passing through the west gate guarded by several hundred soldiers.Thomas was startled by a cry of pain from the west, finding Jiyu's flag inside the city with the soldiers' attention split between fighting Tobias and Jiyu's soldiers."ATTACK!" shouted Adrian.The soldiers' morale rose dramatically when they saw the shape of a giant knight created from golden light advancing towards Valestria's White Palace.Prince Thomas was bewildered, wondering how to respond to this two-pronged attack. Elena ordered all the palace officials to enter. She alone would protect the White Palace of Valestria from the attacks of Tobias and the Jiyu soldiers.She focused more on protecting the officials than letting Equestria's soldiers in. Instead, they fought an all-out battle; trying to hold off the Jiyu soldiers was more likely than fighting Tobias.The movement of the

***"Is that so?" asked Tobias.Leonora and Karin were still sitting to the right and left of Tobias lying on the bed. No one else was in the place except the three; Leonora had ordered her personal guard to wait outside Tobias' treatment room.The room's door opened, revealing a man in armor with a black cloak on the back of his armor. He came alone with nothing, just an important piece of information in his head.Adrian watched with wide eyes as Tobias regained consciousness, even though the man had been unconscious for a week due to excessive use of divine power."Y-You're awake? Well done, Karin," Adrian said."Actually, it wasn't me who cured him, but Lady Leonora," Karin replied.The woman stretched her right hand forward, pointing at Leonora. Adrian's attention was completely distracted, now staring at the Leader of the House of Adelard."Thank you very much. The Jiyu Kingdom is deeply indebted to you," Adrian said, knee

***A week later.Adrian had sent a message to Valcke and Norman. The contents of the letter explained that King Tobias Archibald had asked them to come, of course, to discuss matters related to a potential war against the Mythological Kingdom.The letter would arrive soon, given the long travel route and Tobias asking the kings to come to Valestria, not Stratham.While awaiting the arrival of the delegation of kings from neighboring kingdoms, Tobias worked together to restore the city. The sky has turned back to normal right from yesterday. The reddening of the sky only lasted for one day.Leonora said goodbye. She needed to discuss many things with the city representatives. After seeing that Equestria no longer had power, it was time for Leonora to convince the people there to come with her, joining the Jiyu Kingdom.Tobias himself was still focused on restoring the white palace that had been destroyed by the attack of his divine ability. Now, the soldiers shifted their work focus t
