The next day in the morning the scouts reported that the attacks were halted completely as the enemy troops were not moving any further for now.
Further, they reported that the enemy forces have taken many of their people as hostages for labour work. It seemed like they were taking only men into the forest. Most probably to the Etherblade. The scouts couldn't go any further and thus it was a mere estimation.
It was quite easy to understand the intentions of Etherblade kingdom by now, they were trying to use the situation in their favour as best as possible.
The southern territory was in chaos, even Jason's brother Anthony was facing many problems after their business and communication were cut off with other neighbouring nations.

In the morning the hall was locked up for anyone other than royal guests. "So basically this is the plan okay?" Athena said looking at everyone. "Nah! That's not going to work. Let's work this one again." Griffin replied with his cup of tea in his hand. Everyone was working on planning the journey to the north. There was no doubt that Theodore had to travel, but it was still a question of who will accompany him.

"What! You don't have any clue about her whereabouts? Why did you brag about her then?" Aeneas was getting scolded by Vivian after he said that he had no idea of Nuae's whereabouts. "Look, honestly I only heard about her being here and besides, they say there are many pretty girls… argh... strange people around here." Aeneas replied while averting eye contact.
