The meadow shook as if it had been shaken by a large-scale earthquake. I hugged Peace's neck, who was feeling better and was whinnying frantically as the ground began to crack. In the midst of it all, Willem was concentrating on creating a fairly deep hole in an attempt for me to contact Sonya. As the soil and rocks began to fall and cause a landslide, a two-meter wide hole opened up. Delilah next to me held on tightly to me, while Sean watched from a distance because he didn't want to fall in. I managed to convince him to go along with my plan, after a bit of arguing and him calling me stupid. The ground fell further and further making me retreat slightly, Willem then turned around with a pale look and total exhaustion. "Is this enough? I don't think I can go any deeper due to lack of energy," he said while panting. "Okay!" I then took out the supplies from the bag, it was actually my supplies for the week, but I wanted to give it to my two skinny friends. The dragon scales were

"Don't step on me!" Sean exclaimed right in my ear causing me to wince in surprise. I then elbowed him in annoyance. Did he think he was the only one who had to duck and weave with four other humans and two pegasus? We were now underground and were walking through the holes made by Willem and Sonya. Willem used his earth power, and an elongated earth tunnel was instantly created along with the rumbling of the falling earth. Sonya, on the other hand, was simply ordering the young man around while holding a shovel that she seemed to have brought along just as a prop to decorate this trip. She walked leisurely behind Willem while humming, her fingernails and palms black, probably from clawing the ground when she met me earlier. She was holding Peace who thankfully didn't make a fuss. Behind Peace was Sean's pegasus who was calm unlike his owner. In the third row was Delilah, then me, and finally Sean who kept whining and cursing about his foot being stepped on, even though I didn't fe

I munch on the round chocolate candies with my eyes glued to the jars. Across from me, Delilah has monopolized another chocolate for herself, whereas only a few minutes ago she was shy when Alice told us to taste this treat. Willem is no different, he even seems to be eating like he hasn't eaten in a week. Perhaps the use of his power was so great that he needed energy from sweets. Only Sean retained the fierce image of a soldier, he sat contemplating while holding his chest, refusing all the snacks offered to him. Ever since Alice revealed her prediction, we were at a loss for words. If that was true, then Cedric was indeed waiting for his and Adellia's wedding rings. However, at the same time, he has not forgotten his duty as a military commander to put down the rebels. It was just a pity that he didn't inform the others and the situation became chaotic. "I think I'll follow Cedric to the foothills," said Sean. The man rarely spoke, but once he did it was bound to surprise peopl

My tongue was dry to answer Cedric's question, let alone to inform him that his presence had been eagerly awaited by the king. For a few moments, none of the four of us responded. I had never fought alongside Cedric, and I was grateful for it. Otherwise, I wouldn't stand a chance, as he turned out to be extremely brutal and fierce. Yet here he stood before us, hands covered in fresh, dripping blood."How dare you come here, so close to the foot of the hill where rebels roam, and this forest is frequented by enemies. Are you tired of living?" Cedric asked again. He looked so intimidating that I feared I might tremble.If that happened, where would I put my face? In truth, I pitied myself for being unable to retort, especially given the fact that Cedric was younger than me!"Cedric, we were instructed by the king to find you," Sean answered. From the corner of my eye, I saw the young man, not much different from me, standing stiffly.Cedric then put his hands on his hips, and only then

I have been on guard all night in a room that directly overlooks the ballroom, where the wedding is taking place. All the invited guests have arrived and have been thoroughly checked by the royal officials. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers have been stationed around the palace to ensure that the event runs smoothly without any hindrance.I long to see Adellia in the wedding gown that Queen Azura had prepared well in advance. I hope the makeup artist can hide Adellia's puffy eyes from crying almost all night.In the room where I am stationed, there are five soldiers on duty with me, and fortunately, there have been no problems so far. I heard there was a fight behind the palace between an officer and a rebel, but it was successfully contained before the wedding began.Then, the trumpet sounded three times, and when the ballroom door opened, Cedric appeared in his military uniform, displaying his prestigious pins and medals. He smiled brightly, clearly happy, with Sean by his side as h
