Chances to Another Life 51. Back To The Palace
"Your Grace, what are you doing here? Hurry back to the palace, the rebels are about to infiltrate!" the shouts of the other soldiers rang in my ears as they panicked at the sight of Adellia at the gate. This broke Sean's concentration until he unconsciously loosened his grip slightly. This must be one of the powers of the Swaltz clan, the ability to make living objects stand still at will. I could feel my heart beating faster and my thin breath getting warmer. If this was power, I wanted to try it again. I focused on the part of my neck where the man was still choking, as well as my arms and legs. As a result, a stream of heat pierced me from within, unlike the feeling of being burned. It was a soothing heat. Soon I was able to move my fingers and I elbowed Sean until the officer backed away. Then he rubbed his face roughly. "You ... how could you?" he muttered. I looked down at my hands. How stupid of me to realize this now! If I had realized it earlier, I definitely wouldn't h
Chances to Another Life 52. I Am With The Princess!
"Protect the Princess!" Jaden's senior officer shouted loudly. Dozens of frontliners had already arrived near the barrier and were preparing to attack. They formed a formation, and instantly the giants and beasts were sent flying by the bluish light emitted by the barrier. "Forward!" The soldiers pushed through the barrier and fought, I held my sword that I had brought from the cottage, preparing to eradicate the group of enemies. However, I was suddenly pulled from behind so roughly that I almost fell down. The culprit was Sean, who looked at me with a sharp gaze. "You seem to have forgotten your duty to take care of the Princess," he said sternly. Ah, that's right. There was already a frontliner squad in charge of fighting the enemy, I was the Princess' guard and had to make sure she was alright. I was too used to bleeding during my time as a soldier, so I felt I had to be directly involved this time. "You're right, Sean. Let's protect Adellia," I said. I heard Sean chuckle in
Chances to Another Life 53. This Is The King
"Mother and Father? Where are they now?" Adellia exclaimed hysterically as she approached Sean. "The message only arrived now, and that's because the teleported Swaltz Officer reported this, he's dying right now," Sean explained as he calmed Adellia down. "The officers are now heading for the outskirts of the city, where the king and queen were attacked. Senior Jaden is already in charge, don't worry Princess.""No, I'm going there too! What if something happens to them?" Adellia was about to leave the room, but Sean quickly stopped her. "This is dangerous, Princess. Reportedly, it was a defector from each noble clan who attacked. In fact, there are even more Velman clans that managed to awaken their power," Sean said. "Those troublemakers always do that! Why does the kingdom still allow them to live in the noble area anyway? The nobles who lost their powers should have become commoners, if left unchecked they'll end up like that, arrogant!" Bowie exclaimed in annoyance. I felt I
Chances to Another Life 54. The Dungeon and The Order
I descended the underground stairs carefully because of the dim lighting, despite the torches along the walls. Also, the staircase connecting the prison to the underground dungeon was so hidden that sunlight couldn't penetrate. I covered my nose as the musty, damp, and other unpleasant odors wafted into my nostrils. The boots I wore trampled through the stagnant water, which was even blacker in color. Turning once, I could already see the hundreds of iron bars of the dungeon inhabited by miserable stature. I tightened my fists and exhaled forcefully before being able to walk further. It had been several days since king Swindon had displayed his extraordinary power. The result, of course, was that the king single-handedly captured all the enemies, some of whom he killed on the spot, while others he took captive and put into this dungeon. At the sight of him, I could no longer face king Swindon as before. The other soldiers hadn't even spoken for the past few days because the atmosp
Chances to Another Life 55. The Biggest Decision
The King's words the other day were still ringing in my head, along with his seriousness about getting rid of Elliot if the man still insisted on having a relationship with Adellia. Now I was in the reading room, accompanying Adellia who had been working on something in her files for a while. I sat on the sill of the wide open window through which a breeze blew that somehow didn't feel fresh. I was too worried and scared about all of this. I had just finished my duty of feeding the prisoners, and the old woman who had spoken the prophecy was suddenly hissing and muttering in a language I didn't recognize. I was also worried that all the prisoners knew my identity as someone who wasn't from this world, and I really hoped that the cloths covering their heads weren't transparent so that they could see my face. "Adellia, will the execution take place tomorrow?" Elena, sitting on the sofa, asked her cousin. "Yes, these black magic practitioners have been in the dungeon too long. Tomorr
Chances to Another Life 56. At The Refugee Camp
I looked at Adellia, who was pulling on her gray cloak while talking to some soldiers. Her eyes looked very puffy, her expression was still one of total sadness, but she covered it with her usual wide smile. If a soldier asked her about her situation, Adellia would just smile politely and say that she was crying because she was sad about the conflict. Adellia cried all night, hugging the letter from Elliot, and I stayed with her until Elena and Bowie scolded me for thinking I was the cause of their princess's tears. I couldn't help but feel that my heart had been cut a little too, seeing Adellia like that. From other signs, I could tell that no one knew about this except me, not even Elena, Bowie, or Adellia's many servants. Adellia really kept it a secret from everyone and acted strong because of it. At that moment, I was lifting boxes of food to be distributed to the refugee camp. Even in her heartbroken state, Adellia was still sticking to the plan she made yesterday. "Honey,
Chances to Another Life 57. A New Task, Again.
"Adellia, are you crying again?" I said as I put my arm around her, also doing my best to prevent her from being seen by the refugees. She wiped away her tears and leaned against the stone wall. A gentle breeze played with her golden hair, and I leaned next to her as I looked at the castles in the noble district. "You haven't told your parents yet?" I asked Adellia quietly. "Not yet," she replied, her voice trembling with tears. "But, I can already guess Mother and Father's reaction. So, I don't want to face them while crying, they won't sympathize with that kind of thing," she continued. "It must have been really hard, huh? I feel guilty too. I'm sorry, Adellia," I said wholeheartedly. Adellia tightened her grip on her coat, to the point where I feared she might suddenly burst into hysterical tears. However, she then let out a strong sigh as she raised both hands into the air. "You don't need to apologize. It's me who should apologize to you, I was too selfish all this time. Jo
Chances to Another Life 58. Nothing Runs Smoothly!
I organized the supplies into bags while riding Peace to carry out the order to search for the missing military commander. It was already night and I had no idea where Cedric was, the king said, Cedric disappeared at the military headquarters three days ago and no one had seen him. Before actually leaving the palace, I took the time to look at the prison that connects to the dungeon. The execution ceremony will be held there, and only the royal family and the king's right-hand man are allowed to enter. I didn't know anything about this because I also didn't want to question Adellia, who had gone back to daydreaming after learning that Cedric was missing. Earlier, I saw her wearing a white robe while carrying a sword, entering the dungeon. I really hope nothing strange happens and I can find Cedric as soon as possible. The full moon hanging in the sky somehow didn't calm me down. "Don't look around too much, be alert and watchful." Sean admonished while riding his pegasus that flew
