“Your Highness, what are we going to do?”
“I… I don’t know.”
Jane felt lost.
She was happy because Elena was better, at least she had no more physical injuries. She looked as if she was sound asleep.
Jane eyed the people gathering around them. Some looked at Elena with respectful eyes. Many people already knew Elena saved them from death. If she didn’t protect them, many of them would have died. There were a few wounded people, and some people were attending to them.
Others, however, had different reactions.
Some people knelt on the ground, looking at them. The others looked at the changed land with great respect. &
“Adam!” “Hm…?” He heard a faint calling sound. ‘Princess Jane.’ He knew who was talking, yet he didn’t have a mind to take his eyes off the Empress. Her hand still felt warm, yet she was not talking. Her face looked peaceful as ever, yet she didn’t look at him. He wanted to hear her talk, see her smile, and be with her, but she wasn’t awake. Adam felt guilty, and he felt afraid. He was alone, and he almost lost her. If he was there, this wouldn’t have happened. He knew she was fine, but she was asleep. Even if her body recovered, her mind needed time to regain its
“Your Majesty! The Rondon family and the Colbar family have been attacked. All the elders and family heads are dead.”“What? Who is causing trouble within the kingdom?”The royal palace of the Blood Baron kingdom was already in disarray when this news came, and things suddenly became even more chaotic.“It… It is Lady Helen The prophet of the Black Dragon Empire,”Even the messenger feared to show any disrespect to that powerful woman.“She… Where is she?”The man on the throne looked powerless when he heard the identity of the attacker. This was a person they had no way of defending against.
“Commander, here is the final list.”“Thank you. Take the rest of the day off.”Frank took the list in his hand.“Commander?”“You will be in charge of the training until I come back.”“Yes, but….”“There is nothing much to do, anyway. Have a day off.”“Yes, sir.”“Go now.”He dismissed the soldier, looking at the numbers written on the parchment. The last batch of the dwarven weapons was delivered to the army before the war. These crafts
Sakura looked at all the different indicators in front of her.After using them and practising with them many times, she finally had the confidence to use them properly.She looked out of the crystal windows. Unlike the old ships, her new ship didn’t have a helm outside. It was a well-covered room with a secure door and crystal glasses all around. With the enchantment and the dwarven technology, this room at the top of the ship was more secure than any other place.She felt like standing on the ground. Master George applied new technology to these ships, creating weird hollow parts under the hull. Because of this, the ship didn't rock at all. If not for a heavy storm, the ship wouldn’t move much with its massive weight.Everything was new an
“Is there any news?”The Dragon’s keep was under heavy pressure because of the current events.The experts they hired were dead. The news came that one head is displayed in the Wind Pass city, and the other didn’t even have a head left.There was no reason for them to care about this, but what they wanted to know was the condition of their target.The only reliable news was that Elena Lionheart was hurt, but that was it. There was nothing beyond that. The Crimson Empire was yet to claim anything. However, there were no movements from the nobles of the Crimson Empire as well.If the Crimson Empress was dead, there would be a certain uprising. However, there was nothing until now.
“Your Highness!”Alex gave a slight bow to the Princess.He didn’t expect to see her here. She seemed to be waiting for something at the palace hall, but she was looking at the ground.“Huh? You are here? Oh… You all are here! That is a relief.”Alex saw Her Highness’s gloomy face light up when she saw him and the others.He was here for business, yet the others; Carl, Jackson, David and Lohar insisted on following him today. Apparently, their arrival was a good thing.None of them saw brother Adam since the day he disappeared from the valley, making a commotion. They had to repair his office building since dragon Mirak opened
“Sound the horns!”“Yes, My Lord!”“Sound the Horns!”“Hoot!”The horns sounded one after the other, filling the atmosphere with blood-boiling music.The troops started the march from the camp, moving toward the exit of the valley. The new recruits followed the marching soldiers. Some looked envious, and some looked to be in thought.A war might sound scary, but there were certain things these recruits had something to look up to. If the soldiers followed the orders and made a good contribution, they could receive promotions. Not only that, there were higher wages and many other opportunities waiting for them.
‘This is just the beginning.’ Jane watched the infantry follow the cavalry, coming into the city. Their destination was the palace grounds where Adam would join the army to lead them toward the north. This was a simple display of power. The existence of the mysterious valley became known as the wall became visible, yet no one knew what was behind them. Just by looking at the forces coming out from behind the wall, many nobles would think twice before sending anyone else to investigate. “There is more… More Cavalry?” “They are mounted archers.” Jane eyed Diana, who was supposed to explain the details to the others. However, Diana looked enchanted by the marching army. Jane focused back on the army. Compared to the intimidating Dark Knights, the mounted archers looked much more enchanting. The Unicorns naturally had a pure look with their perfect white fur. Coupled with the silver plate armour on their bodies, these animals caught everyone’s eyes. The riders wore green tunic
