“Should we wait?”
Jane looked at the crowded palace hall.
Since Elena showed herself again, the morning court became busier than ever. Most of these rare faces had one reason to be here, Adam. They all wanted to know what Adam was going to do in future, and where Elena stood.
She was sure some of them secretly hoped Elena and Adam would be on opposite sides. Most of those wanted to find a new ruler.
‘Idiots. Or are they? Today's news will not be something to take lightly.’
Even she was yet to believe the news. If not for it coming through the official administrative channels of Adam’s army, she wouldn’t believe it.
The Lishan c
“Lord David.”“Hm?”“There are no movements.”“Sigh. We don’t expect them to make a move, don’t we?”Carl and Jackson already moved to the front, but he decided to wait a bit more.The reason was the silence within the city.“What is going on in there?”He touched the communication stone, connecting to one of the scouts.There was only one 10th tier warrior within Roland city. This was supposed to be much easier than Carl’s siege. The only difference was the archers. The best archer unit of the B
“What kind of armour is that?”“Huff… Huff….”David didn’t have the strength to answer.His enemy was too nimble. Always running away from his range and shooting arrows at him. Most of all, he had to be careful. These onlookers still watched their battle hiding from the shadows.No arrow was sharp enough to go through his armour, but his body felt the impact on it. It wasn’t made of steel, and the hit on the impenetrable leather brought him enough pain. This was something the dwarven researchers reminded them of again and again. Even if the armour was made of Leviathan leather, they were not Leviathans.Every broken bone in his body reminded him of these word
“Who is that?”“It is an envoy, Lord Jackson.”“Hm? An Envoy? After all this?”He frowned when he looked at the horseman with one of his hands high up in the air. He clearly saw the scroll of parchment in that hand.Jackson grunted under his breath.He was the only one left.Even David, who started the assault after both he and Carl, had already taken the Glory city.“Hm? What are they planning?”The battle started half an hour ago, but he couldn’t let go of the feeling that all this was a probe. The reckless charge fro
“General!!!”“Sigh. What is it?”The man placed his palm on his forehead. Just by the tone of the soldier, he could tell it was another problem.There was no doubt it should be some issue. He was sure even if a soldier called him in an unhurried tone. East Coast city was a mess. He didn’t know how he should manage this any longer.Almost two-thirds of the commoners of the city were sent to the East Coast, and the city was less crowded for a while. However, things got out of hand about a week ago. After the death of the Dragon Emperor, the number of people coming to the city doubled. Many merchants and nobles were trying to find a ship to escape the Black Dragon Empire.‘Out of all the
“Sister. Aren’t you….” “No!” “Sigh. Alright.” Jane didn’t argue with Elena anymore. After all, this wasn’t a place for arguments. It was Elena’s birthday banquet. Also, the most colourful one in recent years; except for the girl with her birthday. Elena was gloomy while everything inside the palace looked colourful. ‘And too many people.’ She looked at Diana, who seemed to be having a headache with the number of people within the palace hall. Many nobles were in the palace because it was a day they could freely enter here. ‘But how many of you are here to wish well for Elena?’ Jane was sure many were here looking for information. There were nobles from the Holy Light Empire, several northern Kingdoms, and surprisingly, a few princes from the most wealthy families of the Southern Trade Unions. A group that never appeared here before. She admitted they had enough reasons to be here. The most appealing one would be the Valley of Wonders. Everyone who saw the place wanted t
“Sister.” “What?” “Are you alright?” “Of course. What do you think is wrong with me? I am fine. Why?” “Nothing.” Jane hid her smile, looking at Elena’s brightened face. Her sister again looked like the carefree girl who had nothing to worry about in this world. ‘Your face is like a blossoming flower right now.’ She could see the eyes on Elena. Even if Elena maintained her cold expression, it was difficult to hide her sparkling eyes. ‘You have what you want.’ Jane knew what Elena wanted the most. It was not the crown, nor was it the land conquered by Adam. She just wanted him to return on his own, and it finally happened. When he had the power to do anything he wanted, and when the entire world would kneel before him, he returned to Elena. The look Elena had when she saw him told everything they needed to know. She didn’t look like the Empress for a second. It was more like a love-struck teenage girl. ‘And look at these clowns.’ Suddenly, the atmosphere changed in the
“Brother Adam, do you think there are more sets of clothes like that?” Alex followed brother Adam, trying to figure out if it was these clothes. “I don’t know. But why am I in trouble?” “Trouble?” Alex looked around to find what could trouble a person like brother Adam. He suddenly felt cold, and he felt the sharp eyes on them. ‘Her Majesty? Why is she angry?’ He wanted to turn back and run to a safe place, looking at the cold eyes on them. ‘I am not the one in trouble, right? Wait… She didn’t summon me.’ He suddenly thought of sneaking away to somewhere safe. Her Majesty had a cold glimmer in her eyes. “Where do you think you are going?” “Huh? Ah… Nowhere, brother Adam.” Alex felt dejected by his good brother. He was too sharp. ‘Can't you just ignore me? Why drag me into trouble as well?’ He dragged his feet behind brother Adam, trying to find a way to escape. ‘Can’t you people look away? There is nothing to see.’ Everyone was looking at them. Only a few who were fami
‘Did I do the right thing?’Elena eyed Adam again.He still looked a bit confused. She knew she was hasty, but she just acted out of instinct. Elena didn’t like all those women coming closer to Adam, and she was just looking for a reason to get him away from them. When he showed her the necklace, for once in her life she wanted it. There were countless who wished to have her hand, but there was only one whom she wanted to give it to. The moment he showed it, she didn’t hesitate to take it. ‘Is he upset? Or angry? Doesn’t look like that… But….’Elena tried to read Adam’s mood. Amy wasn’t leaving them, and her servants and sister were there. The guards and the others were closer to them, too. She wanted to talk to him, but it wasn’t the time‘If I knew it… I might still do the same.’She felt a bit guilty about her own thoughts. Elena had no idea Adam still didn’t know what he was doing. However, she realised she would do the same if she knew that. Because this was what she wanted
