“Your Majesty.”
Maxim called his liege, trying to get his attention.
The entire Black Dragon Empire was under a sudden lockdown. All access to the empire was prohibited. He knew the Emperor was under pressure, but this decision looked too drastic.
He was one of the most trusted advisors of Her Majesty, at least he once was. However, he lost his favour when he opposed the idea of a conspiracy against the Crimson Empress. He didn’t feel right about attacking her. After all, he knew Lady Helen for a long period of time. She was not someone who acted without thinking.
‘I was right.’
He was right, but being right didn’t bring any joy to him. Not when the Dragon Emperor himself looked like a madman.
“Lord Maxim… Lord Maxim.”“Huh?”He came out of his stopper with a violent shake.“What should we do?”“What can we do?”He questioned back. To him, there was no way left. If this wasn’t a dream, they were about to face real dragons. However, he got up from the floor. After all, he had some dignity left.“What about his majesty?”He asked the person who talked to him.Maxim saw the man nudging his head, and shaking his head in a dejected manner.He turned
“Father….” She knew it was bad. Most accurately, the situation was unstable within the Crimson Empire. The things suddenly escalated into a level they didn’t imagine. She knew the news Alex gave would make things terrible. Everyone gathered in the inner palace, including the officials and generals looked troubled. The army march was more than successful, but it was too successful. First, the nobles were not just intimidated. Instead, most were terrified by the last part of the march. On the other hand, the commoners were delighted by the power within their empire. However, without Elena, the officials also had a reason to worry. <
“My Lord, it is time.” “I see… Let’s go.” Maxim looked at the city he grew up in for the last time. The time given to them was coming to an end, and his life was also at its last few minutes. As for any thoughts on resisting, he had forgotten it for a while now. Last night, he saw the countless lights surrounding the Dragon’s Keep, and in the morning, he heard the loud roar of dragons. It was the time for them to face their judgement. He had no expectations for mercy. After all, His Majesty was in a cold coffin. Today, they had to arrange the largest banquet hall within the palace to accommodate the gathering. Because he had to gather all the nobles within the Dragon’s Keep. Not because they had something to do with the attack, but because of the instructions of the Church of Light. He didn’t know the reason for this, but no one disobeyed an order from the Church of Light. It was similar in the Holy Light Empire, too. He entered the hall with many men. Unlike yesterday,
“Father, here is the list of the killed nobles. Except for the nobles killed due to the attack, all these people had some dirt on their hands.”“I understand.”Maxim knew several of the killed nobles had dirt on their hands, but he didn’t know how that young man found them.‘Was there anyone giving him information?’“My Lord! Another family left.”“Sigh. They are making the right decision, I think.”He also didn’t have any idea about his next move.It was a sleepless night to the entire Dragon’s Keep just like the night before. However, tonight was all
“My Lord, this is master Maxim. He was a court advisor.”The one who introduced him was the old man in a black cloak; old Wu. He was the one that came to invite Maxim today.“My Lord!”Maxim gave a bow, paying respect to the young man.This lord still had his pitch-black armour on, and his face still had that messy tiredness. However, Maxim felt a tingle of respect for this young man.Instead of the throne room, they were in the war council room.‘I never thought I would be here like this.’Maxim was the advisor to the Dragon Emperor, and the reason he stayed within the Dragon&rsquo
‘So hungry.’It was dark. Everything around her was dark. She didn’t know how long she was looking into this darkness.‘Am I dead?’She had many regrets.‘But I protected my people, at least I did that.’She was happy to protect her people, but she regretted leaving them behind.‘Does he miss me?’“Look… Breathing….”She heard a voice in the dark. It was far from her.‘Who is talking?’She tr
‘This is tense.’Jane felt the pressure the moment Elena came to meet Adam. There was complete silence from the room for almost half an hour.‘Can’t we hear what they are talking about?’She didn’t know how this would turn out. There were two sides here. Even if both parties worked for Elena, these people were loyal to Adam. The atmosphere became awkward as they all waited to know what was happening. It was obvious everyone wanted to know what would happen between them.One was the Empress, and the other was undoubtedly the most dangerous and powerful man here. If they happened to fight, things would develop into another level.Jane knew people like Jackson, David, and Car
They travelled across several spans of mountain ranges and visited several villages before barely finding the direction they should go for.‘I never thought about coming back.’Adam remembered that he didn’t want to leave the village in the first place, but he didn’t argue with his mother. He wondered what would have happened if they didn’t leave.“Is this the place?”Adam felt them slowing down.He noticed the remnant of another village.Adam looked around at the mountain ranges in the surrounding area, but they didn’t look familiar to the place where he went to collect the herbs.Latest Chapter
