“Ehm.” Jane tried to gain the attention of the two people. She saw Adam immediately reacting to her, but Elena was different. She tightened her grip around Adam’s hand, preventing him from turning around. “Really, Elena?” Jane was reaching the limit of her patients these days. On the contrary, her sister was getting more and more carefree. She even dragged Adam away from work when she felt bored. Jane was busy beyond imagination. She felt like there was barely time for her to breathe. The Valley of Wonders was still in its growth period. Newly conquered cities needed attention, and then there was the new island. A base was being built in a hurry. This wasn’t all. The cities isolated between the Dragons Keep and the East Coast were the main problem. Those nobles were trying to negotiate endlessly while the refugees flooded the east coast. Adam’s men were actively seeking the villagers and other wanderers within the new land. Everything needed coins and a lot of attention.
“My Lord!”“Come in.”Adam didn’t want to lift his head, he knew who was talking. He knew Helen was snooping around to talk to him since morning. He just didn’t know the exact reason. Usually, this woman would find a way to avoid him as much as possible.It was another busy day for him. He was here in the Valley after a long time, and there were a thousand reports he needed to look at. The majority of decisions didn’t require his attention, but the Army, scouts, and the Churches needed his attention. Some of these parchments were just reports, but he knew none of these should be ignored. Some of them had new and intriguing ideas from various people. He never ignored positive changes and these things were important things to him.“Sit.”He felt the powerful woman was already near him, but he continued reading the document. It would be very difficult once he was back in the palace. The Empress had a thousand reasons to distract him, and Amy also needed his time. Basically, he had to c
Ken touched his daughter’s forehead, feeling the burning heat.His wife had tears in her eyes, and he felt helpless. They moved in with their son a couple of weeks ago. After that, His son moved to another place called Valley of Wonders to receive his training. He didn’t know where it was, but he knew it was beyond the High Pass Mountain. As for the way his son went there, he had a pretty good idea. Because it was the same way they came to Lishan city. They had to stand on a magical circle from the temporary army camp. After that, one soldier did something to make them covered in white light. When he opened his eyes again, he was looking at the tall walls of the city of Lishan city. The first day they came in, people asked for their details. After writing down their names and other things, he and his wife got a piece of wood with something written on them. He didn’t know any letters and he failed to know what it was, but he knew it was necessary. Because his son knew it was importa
“Commander.”“I… I can see.”Sakura was also stunned like the others. They finally saw the signs of another ship. Actually, it was a boat. The star charts were accurate enough. Because they were closer to the end of the marked route. Sakura thought it was much better. Since it was a boat, there was no way it was from the place they came from.The other party was yet to notice them, but they saw them on the horizon. Still, he knew the other party was just being careless. There was no way they should have missed their fleet.‘If they saw us, they should have reacted.’She didn’t believe whoever on the boat was not shaken by their fleet if they saw it. They had the Empire’s flag andHowever, to them, the horizon was just a few minutes away. It was better to learn about the other party before acting out. Since the advantage was theirs she decided to exploit it to the full.“Arm the cannons. Prepare the soldiers. Full speed ahead. Let’s catch up to that boat.”She could send the Wyverns
“Hoot!”“What is that horn?”Leon stood up from his seat. It was a loud horn that almost sounded like a warhorn from the barbarian kingdom to the far East. One of the farthest kingdoms from Markarth, and it was much more primitive compared to the others. A kingdom that bordered the uninhabited dangerous islands. The islands scattered across this area were too much for the collective populations of all the kingdoms. Most of the far east and southern islands were left to the animals and the wild. He always wanted to explore those lands, but he never had the luxury. Their kingdom was too poor, and he had to be there as the first prince. Despite that, Leon always had hope, but everything shattered about four months ago. He had to marry the princess of the Olmar kingdom as a political bargain. Of course, he knew this would have happened eventually, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon. He barely knew this princess from the several social gatherings they had previously, but that was it
"Greetings, Your Majesty. I am Sakura Steelbeard, commander of Her Majesty Elena Lionheart's fleet."Leon watched as the woman gave a slight bow to his father.He tried to see through this woman and the three men stood behind her, but he failed to detect anything. She was at the 7th tier while the people who carried the exquisite looking wooden boxes were around the 7th and the 8th tier.'They are not worried at all.'This woman led the group into their kingdom without any worry. Their little army seemed like nothing to them.‘They do have a big fleet, but aren't they afraid of their own lives? Or are these three males more than powerful enough to deal with us? But why can’t I feel their strength? How many soldiers are in those ships?’He had many unanswered questions, but he couldn’t ask them. Because this was a discussion between the king and the representative.“Welcome to the kingdom of Markarth, My Lady. I am King Dimano. I wonder what brought your majestic fleet to our humble ki
“This… This is the place.”Leon stuttered, looking at the old building in front of them.He had no idea how old it was, but almost no one came here anymore. As far as he remembered, this building was here for a very long time. “Let’s go.”He was about to take a step when the woman walked past him. The other followed her, ignoring his presence. For a moment, Leon didn’t know what he should do. He wanted to rush back, but he also wanted to see what these people were up to. They easily brought him out of the palace without any effort. He thought he would be held as a hostage, but they seemed to be uninterested in him.‘If they are truly that powerful, why do they even have to care?’He knew the threat was still there. If these people were actually 10th-tier magicians, the entire continent had no way to defend against them.‘Maybe… Central kingdoms might have a way. But….’He didn’t know what would happen when the news about these visitors circulated to the other kingdoms. He was sure t
“The Church of the Dawn? I never heard of it.” He doesn't remember hearing about a Church with such a name. Even during his time in the central academy, he never learned of such a name. “We thought so too, Your Highness. The Church of the Dawn had no known records about the Eastern islands. So it was kind of obvious.” Leon realised the man was still smiling. He seemed to be unbothered by the fact that his religion wasn’t in this place. “You are not unhappy about it? You can’t bring your Church’s authority here.” He couldn’t believe what he just witnessed. Even when he thought about it, Leon felt he could still hear the howling of the wolves. “Not really. Even if there was a church, we don’t know what exactly happened. No one knows where the lady of the Dawn is. It is not like the Church of Darkness.” “Ah, I understand.” He didn’t really understand what this elf was talking about. He had no idea if they could know if a god was alive or not. “Wait. What is the Church of Darkn
