While Alex was going to his lands with the three girls, another carriage was travelling in the opposite direction.

Inside of it, Marquess Seth Perry was biting the fingernail of his right thumb while Baron Rowan Harvey was seated in front of him, nervously waiting. On his left, Earl Marley Barker, a long-time friend of Marquess Seth Perry, was fiddling with his fingers, thinking about what happened inside the Chamber of Lords.

    As soon as Alex’s carriage left the main dusty road and approached the paved road that led to his estate, a group of fifteen riders approached, wearing uniforms in light grey and with a coat of arms with a cursive ‘A’ stitched on the left side, above the heart. The driver stopped the carriage, and one rider, an older man with a thin scar on his left cheek that went from his mouth to his ear, stood next to the window and made a slight bow with his head. “Welcome back, Earl Alex. Miss Olive sent a message early this morning that you would arrive by this hour. The maids were also warned, and lunch will wait for you and your guests in the Castle. Do you mind if we escort you there? Our patrol shift had just ended, and we were about to re

    Alex had a puzzled look and was staring at the two that were still holding each other’s hands. Viscount Finley quickly explained, “I already knew Anika, because... well... I am still the partner of her mother... I lived with them for a few years in my youth, before the war.” “But... she called you father! I don’t understand...”

    Alex turned bright red at the confession of the three women in front of the man he always considered his uncle, and who always mocked him for not choosing a bride. He glanced at him and saw the old Dog-kind doing his best not to burst into laughter. He was prevented from mocking Alex by the opening of the doors, and the group of Minstrels entered the room, followed by five women dressed in tiny fabrics that didn’t give much to the imagination. They all made a deep bow, and one Minstrel approached the table and spoke, “Good day, Earl Alex Brim! Good day as well, Miladies and Viscount! Please allow us to feast your ears with our music and your eyes with our dance!”

    They all followed the smiling Viscount, with Pearl taking the last gulp of her cup and rushing after the others. As they were walking along the main corridor, Alex asked, “Uncle, what happened to those Nobles that tried to come here? And what did they want?” “They said in the Chamber of Lords that they only wanted to recover their commoners, but many knew that they also wanted to spy. Two of those Nobles were condemned to high treason because they were the instigators, and they convinced the other three to join them against the laws of the Chamber by trying to invade the lands of another Noble without being approved by a majority vote. Those two lost all their lands, which are now being taken care of by the Chamber of Lords. Their fam

    Pearl gulped while staring at the Magical Orb in her hands. A Wyvern, a flying nightmare with wings six metres wide, five times bigger than a person, no matter the species. A big mouth full of strong, sharp teeth, a tail that ends on a spike made of bone, and claws as big as short swords that could pierce armour or turn a City wall into rubble. Pearl couldn’t stop thinking about the absurd amount of Magic such Orb had, and Alex noticed her eagerness. “The way you are looking at it, it seems you like it. You want to have it, don’t you?” “Yeah… All this Magic would give me a tremendous

    As soon as they reached the top of the stairs, Viscount Finley greeted them with a big smile. “Hello again. Had a nice walk, daughter of mine?” Anika held the arm of the old Dog-kind, making the guards on both sides of the stairs wonder why the Viscount said that. Alex got near him with Pearl and Wenammy, and the Viscount winked while walking. “Did you scare them enough, Alex? Or now it’s even worse because they saw all the money you have in there, and they are thinking about all the jewellery and clothes they could get from you?”

    Alex watched as the new soldiers followed one of the Captains, and he then returned to the top of the stairs that led to the front door with the Viscount, who spoke in a low voice when they were again near the girls, “I don’t know how he could infiltrate! I got a detailed file of the new soldiers, and they all seemed trustworthy! Maybe it’s like Shinatobe said, I am getting lazy with old age. In your father’s time, Shinatobe was in charge of following a recruit for one entire week before he could set foot in this Castle. She was correct; I need to make a few changes, and perhaps ask one of our Mage Summoners to send his Spirit after each recruit to see if everything in his file matches. She… will come after me to smack my head, I bet…”

    Anika kept on looking around, admiring the way every soldier was perfectly aligned and in their pristine uniforms. A group of five Royal Guards entered through the main gate, mounted on white horses that had their manes and tails intricately braided. They stopped near the stairs and took a look around, immediately followed by the Royal Carriage with its gold-coloured engravings and decorations. Two of the stable boys approached the horses, and the page jumped to the floor, quickly opened the door of the carriage, and made a deep bow. The King exited first, and Alex and everyone else made a deep bow to him. <

To his surprise, a group of four men ran to them as soon as they recognised the Princess, and one of them shouted to Sakamo, “Let her go! Why are you holding her hand like that? Why did you kidnap her?” Sakamo felt Hiko trembling as she hid behind him, and he whispered, “What do these guys want? Are they friends of those guys this morning?”
