Robert Ludwig invited Tobias to talk about it in his study, which was located on the fourth floor, just one floor below the upper floor, where Robert used to host rooftop parties.
The burly middle-aged man appeared to be walking with his wife while his two children didn't follow their parents. When Tobias was walking with them, he was surprised by the arrival of another man, five years older than him, and Tobias was sure Giselle was still young compared to him.
He was a handsome, dark-haired man dressed in simple clothes, a tight white long-sleeved T-shirt, and black trousers. Even more surprising to Tobias was Robert's gesture to the man, seemingly bowing, saluting.
"I see you have an important guest, Sir Robert," the man said, giving Tobias a sharp, arrogant look.
"That's right, Your Highness the Prince. He is Tobias Archibald, third son of Thompson Archibald," Robert said, introducing Tobias to the man who was none other than the Royal Prince of Equest
Together with Robert's wife, Tobias walked in with limping steps. The wound on his shoulder had yet to heal, as well as the injury from the hard kick from Thomas. Several servants began to help carry Tobias to the nearest room."Get the medical kit," Robert's wife ordered, the maid nodding obediently.The room door opened, and the servant used this room to rest, but she didn't mind Tobias being treated in the room. The man sat on a chair, clutching the cloth covering the wound on his shoulder."You need to undress first," Robert's wife said, appearing to wash her hands from Tobias' blood.Tobias complied and began to unbutton his shirt and remove it slowly with his right hand, while his left was quite painful to move due to the wound he had received.Tobias' athletic body was exposed to Robert's wife's eyes, occasionally stealing glances at Tobias' abs and chest muscles. However, she looked away as soon as Tobias noticed.The servant came in. She carried a white box filled with a medi
Once the deal was agreed upon, Robert took Tobias out for lunch. Selena had instructed her servants to serve the best food, not only for Tobias but also for Thomas.Tobias didn't refuse Robert's offerings. In fact, he was enthusiastic about coming along to find out what Western food was like. The banquet hall itself was on the second floor, which meant Tobias and Robert had to take the stairs to get there.A banquet hall was clearly displayed before Tobias. Great food was served on the table, with six plates served. Robert's two children came down from the third floor to join the lunch.Robert sat in a separate chair, in the center, between the right and left rows of chairs at the table. Tobias took the chair on the right while Robert's two children were seated on the left."Is Edgar not here?" Robert asked, confirming with his two children.They shook heads, unaware of Edgar's whereabouts since he had left earlier. Robert simply nodded with a sigh, lamenting his firstborn's brat-like
***The next day.Tobias wrote a letter filled with yesterday's information addressed to Elisa. The man had no idea when this letter would arrive, but as promised, he would send it to Elisa when he reached Westwind.The location of Fiona's Inn was the entertainment district, where people spent time fulfilling their lustful desires. Tobias could see from the window of his room on the third floor that the people's activity had been unstoppable since last night."Does Edgar often visit that place too?" asked Tobias, curious.He put the letter he had written into an envelope; Tobias had gotten it from the receptionist. The man began to walk away, approaching the room door to make his way to the nearest post office.Some people in the lobby turned their heads, staring at Tobias, who looked charming in his noble suit. Many of the female guests from the business aristocracy were interested in talking to Tobias.Tobias' steps stopped at the i
Unwilling to waste any time, Thomas and Edgar got back into the carriage. The two left Tobias, who was still outside the bakery. Several people began to pay attention to Tobias, especially when they knew he was an Archibald. The bakery was located not far from the post office. The crowd in that place caught Henry's attention on the second floor of the post office. Henry's eyes were fixed on Tobias with a cynical expression. His mind was raging, a grudge was rising in Henry's heart since Tobias had canceled the agreement between them. Henry was fully aware of the fatal mistake caused by Jeanne, but Tobias was also at fault for deciding something without discussing it with Henry. "What are you looking at?" asked an old man, walking up to Henry. Henry turned his head slowly, smiling and shaking his head. This morning, he was planning to cooperate with one of the businessmen nobles in Westwind. "Nothing, just a chance to express my anger," Henry Ingfried replied. "It's scary. Is ther
"Are you out of your mind?" asked Tobias, shocked with a beating heart.Selena's proposal was absurd, mad and could lead Tobias into something even more dangerous. The woman also didn't want to make that suggestion, but she had no choice. Her mind was completely stuck."I don't know what I can offer you," Selena replied."You didn't say whether you agreed with my words or not. That's all," Tobias interrupted.The man was already in a white nobleman's suit with gold ornaments, which fit comfortably on Tobias' body. He approached the nightstand near the bed, picking up his dark blue sword."I'm actually confused with you, too. You begged and even offered your body to me as if you didn't believe in Edgar's abilities," Tobias said, attaching his sword to his left waist."He does have talent in magic; I don't deny it. However, your ability to overwhelm Thomas is also a consideration for me," Selena replied."Battles between sword and magic
Edgar began to stand, pushing himself to fight despite his wounded and bleeding condition. Everyone sympathized and continued to cheer for Edgar and Henry, which naturally put Tobias on the spot, but he didn't flinch.[Magic Skill: Fire Sword Thrust][Magic Skill: Strong Wind Strikes]Henry and Edgar reached their right hands forward, creating two different types of magic that rushed out of the magic circle created. Both of Tobias' hands were tightly gripping the handle of his dark blue sword, standing in a medium stance and preparing to deflect the attacks from the two.[Sacred Sword Skill: 24-Rib Piercing]Tobias pointed the sword tip forward, stabbing toward the dozens of fire and hurricane sword strikes rushing toward him. His movements grew increasingly faster, successfully neutralizing Henry and Edgar's magic.Again they gasped in shock, not expecting Tobias to be able to defeat magic with swords. From a distance, Tobias saw Edgar's ra
"As I requested? You almost killed him," Selena said, her anger starting to rise at the sight of Edgar, who looked covered in wounds all over his body.Tobias turned his head, looking at the condition behind Selena's back. It was clearly visible Edgar was being treated by medics due to the wounds given by Tobias. It was natural for Tobias to see Selena furious with him."That's normal in a fight," Tobias replied, taking Edgar's injuries lightly, as they were nothing compared to his."Normal? There's something wrong with your head, Tobias," Selena explained, pointing roughly at Tobias' head."Then what do you want me to give up? Let my body be injured by Edgar's attacks that could kill me?" Tobias asked.Selena was silent. She didn't know how, but she didn't really like it right now. However, even though Edgar was injured, some people greeted him as a winner. The man also didn't seem to mind being called a winner by the people."Unlike you, t
Midnight."Looks like they've stopped," Tobias said, opening the curtains and watching as the people who kept booing him began to leave, returning to their homes to rest.Things were as quiet as last night, a perfect time for Tobias to leave. Unlike Robert and Selena, who had said goodbye earlier, Fiona was the only one in the inn.The preparations to leave had been made, even three hours before midnight came. Tobias walked out of the room wearing a white-and-gold suit and his black furry coat. His right hand seemed to be carrying his bags of belongings on Tobias' back.Not only the people before the inn but also the visitors had already fallen into a peaceful sleep. When Tobias reached the lobby, he was moved to see a sleeping Fiona sitting on the sofa."Mrs. Fiona, Lord Tobias has-"Tobias raised one finger to his mouth, indicating he didn't want the receptionist to wake Fiona."Let her rest. It's been a tiring day for her," Tobias

Tobias looked faintly behind him, seeing thousands of human troops trying to chase Renna, who flew quickly to the east, back to the border area between the Forbidden Territory and the Human Territory.Tobias' right hand could be seen tightly grasped by Renna's left hand, while Aurora could be seen carried by the right. The two people left the place at high speed."I did exactly what you wanted. What's next?" asked Renna, curious.Renna continued flying with the help of her two black wings. Directed forward with the condition that she had left the troops of mankind.While flying freely, Renna occasionally glanced back, trying to ascertain Tobias' next plan.However, Tobias did not show any response, still silent, with both eyes directed forward to the rocky mountains rather than Renna's sights.As Renna flew over the rocky mountains, the lush green countryside with trees was clearly visible in Tobias' eyes. It indicated that Tobias was now in human territory."Where are you taking me,
Aerith did not hesitate to attack Tobias with all the power she had, with the mana capacity the woman had not so much anymore, the impact of the previous use of the palace's protective magic."Akihiko! Listen to me," Tobias insisted, asking Aerith to talk to him."You killed my husband! I won't forgive you," Aerith cried.With two magic circles appearing in front of Aerith's palms, dark black magic balls with a reddish-black color rushed towards Tobias' body.Tobias was able to deflect them easily, using his katana sword as if he was playing a game of baseball with Aerith. The magic balls flew in random directions, then exploded with a significant blast.Aurora looked terrified, taking cover behind Aerith's back with both Aurora's eyes closed. Tobias occasionally looked at Aurora, the little girl shouldn't be in a place like this."You shouldn't let Aurora see this fight," Tobias pleaded.Aerith stopped her attack on Tobias, looked back and saw Aurora who was trembling in fear with bo
"So, you want to get in my way?" asked Tobias, pointing his sword forward."No one is allowed to come near our King and Queen!" groaned one of the werewolves.It leapt powerfully forward, both hands and feet full of claws. Tobias parried each of the werewolf's claws with his katana, the monster's attacks were powerful enough, but not enough to defeat Tobias.Not only by itself, but the werewolf seemed to be assisted by several people, two representatives of the superior races in the Mythological Kingdom. A centaur walked over with his right hand pulling out a large sword, swinging at Tobias' head.Tobias was pushed back, the blade of his katana was blocking the attack of the monster's claws before him, so he had nothing to do but put his faith in the golden armor he wore. Tobias spun around, seemingly turning his back to the werewolf without changing the grip of the sword in his right hand. Tobias' left hand stretched out to the side, blocking the centaur's sword strike with the fing
Tobias was still seated on his horse, focusing both eyes forward to the Mythology Kingdom palace where Aerith and the other officials were taking refuge.Liam was now near Tobias, focusing equally on the palace. Liam's eyes narrowed, never before had he seen people from different races in the Forbidden Territory come together to fight humanity."Are we going to fight them all?" Liam asked."If we don't want the chain of hatred between the two sides to grow again, then we must fight them," Tobias said firmly.He dismounted, stepping closer to the palace gates that seemed to be protected by something. The people inside the palace were on alert, especially after seeing the man in golden armor walking closer.Tobias' hand stretched forward, trying to touch the magic barrier. Just as his fingers made contact, a spark of electricity and fire was created that startled Tobias.Tobias' eyes squinted hard, seeing the white smoke from his finger's contact with the magic wall."Are you okay?" ask
Hearing Tobias' impassioned cry made all the soldiers flare up with excitement. They shouted loudly, raising their swords, bows and spears in the hope that the war would end in this battle.Gunnar led the troops that would attack at the center gate. Their main goal was not to penetrate that place, but rather to distract the Mythology Kingdom's troops from the north gate.Just as Edgar led the troops to attack the southern gate. In this battle, three armies of humanity will besiege the capital from three entry points: north, center, and south.Gunnar led the army with Adrian and Karin, while Edgar was alone with Laura. However, Tobias had asked Laura to use her illusion magic. He wanted the mythology troops to know that Tobias was in the troops attacking the southern gate.The focus of the Mythology Kingdom troops will be on Tobias, because only he can determine the course of this war. If Laura managed to display Tobias' projection at the southern gate, then it was certain that the Myt
Seeing that the banyan tree territory was completely controlled by the dwarves made Tobias' heart happy. The dwarves shouted with joy, some cried with emotion while hugging each other.One of the lead dwarves walked up to Tobias. He raised a hat similar to a magic cone and lowered it while bowing his head.Not only did he do this, but the other dwarves did the same. They paid their highest respects to Tobias, who was a human, in his attempt to reclaim the sacred place for them."Thank you, Mr. Tobias. We dwarves will always be indebted to humans," the dwarf replied.Tobias, who was still sitting upright on his mount, dismounted, stepped up to the dwarf and reached forward, asking both parties to shake hands."Welcome to your true home. Keep your promise not to participate in this war," Tobias said.The dwarf cast both eyes downward, looking at Tobias' right hand that was pointed forward. The dwarf in front of Tobias smiled widely with a nod of his head, shaking Tobias with both hands.
In the end, Tobias agreed with the dwarves on a plan of attack. However, the dwarves wanted to give a special condition. They wanted when the attack on the Mythological Kingdom Capital happened, he wanted all the dwarves to have left their city.In short, they wanted Tobias to liberate the promised area immediately. Once the area was free of wild elves, then Tobias could freely attack the capital.Gunnar, who happened to still be beside Tobias, spontaneously asked about the requirement. Tobias turned his face to the side, staring intently at the man."We'll carry out the terms well," Tobias said."But with whom? It will take about half a day to mobilize the troops there," Gunnar replied.Tobias shook his head as his eyes star
Tobias' head kept moving to the right and left, seeing how many Mythology troops were guarding the gate of the capital connected to the city of the dwarves.Not so much; there were probably only about 1000 people, in contrast to the gate in the center where there were probably about 5000 to 10,000 mythological troop soldiers.Liam and Gunnar did the same, looking around the surrounding area as Tobias had done. However, they were not paying attention to the soldiers above the gate but to the dwarves in that place."If the dwarves fight too, then we'll have a hard time," Liam replied softly."You're right. The dwarves are good at using magic. Their abilities are almost comparable to the elves," Renna added, turning her head to the side to look at Tobias.
