In the Royal City of the Kingdom of Vriweth, there were three main authorities, nine divisions, and 24 bureaus. The core institutions among them were the three main agencies—the Regency, the Cabinet, and the General's mansion.The Regency was responsible for overseeing all officials throughout the countries. The Cabinet handled both major and minor government affairs of the kingdom. The General's mansion managed all military forces and directed the planning and execution of military operations.The Kingdom of Vriweth was a military-focused kingdom where stronger individuals held higher positions. However, the five ministers in the Cabinet were all civil officials.Eldorado appeared somewhat languid, reclining partially on the nine-dragon chair. His eyelids drooped as if he were asleep.Footsteps sounded outside the door. Soon, Clyfford, dressed in a purple-red robe, slowly entered along with an elderly man who was hunched over and walking with difficulty."Greetings, Your Majesty!
His eldest daughter had always been well-behaved, sensible, and polite since childhood. Eldorado felt genuinely happy.Remembering something, he frowned and asked, "I heard you went to Otto Mountain a while ago and got injured. Are you feeling better now?""I'm fine now. But I was unable to bring back the purple lotus root and even encountered that bear demon beast," Skylar said softly, feeling somewhat guilty.Eldorado sighed. "Out of all my children, you're the only one willing to risk your life to go to Otto Mountain to find medicine for me.""Father, do you know how I managed to survive and return to you?" Skylar suddenly looked up at Eldorado."Oh? Wasn't Leander risking his life to save you from Otto Mountain?"Skylar gently shook her head. "We were rescued by someone. It seems like he even knows the ninth-ranked fox demon beast from Otto Mountain.""Oh? Who is it? Tell me, I'll surely reward him with land and a noble title!" Eldorado was surprised.It was rare to find so
The Kingdom of Northwing was the Kingdom of Vriweth's vassal state.To show their loyalty, the Kingdom of Northwing sent countless treasures to the Royal City every year and even married a princess to a prince of the Kingdom of Vriweth.After lying dormant for over a decade, the Kingdom of Easteria was making a comeback with plans to annex the Kingdom of Northwing. By doing so, they would be able to advance into the territory of the Kingdom of Vriweth.Six months ago, Eldorado sent his commander, Zeno Schmidt, to lead the war in the Kingdom of Northwing. Unexpectedly, even Zeno faced consecutive defeats and was now even besieged.Zeno and the 300 thousand heavy cavalry were important, but even more crucial was the Kingdom of Northwing.At this moment, Clyfford spoke up, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with Isaac? I suggest putting him to some use.""Go ahead.""Isaac has committed a grave crime, but his abilities are strong. We can send him to the northern part of the Bla
"If I had to choose again, I would still kill Kingsford." Isaac's hoarse voice came through.Skylar suddenly stepped forward. Grabbing one end of the spiritual energy-suppressing net, she tried to untie its knot."What are you doing?" Isaac's expression changed."I'll let you go," she said seriously.Right then, a deep voice echoed from the sky, "Your Highness, don't approach this villain!"A dagger shrouded in black spiritual energy descended like lightning, directly piercing the ankle bone of Isaac's right foot.He shuddered in pain, groaned, and looked upwards.Clyfford swiftly descended from the sky, followed closely by two subordinates from the Guardian Division.Skylar quickly stepped back, surprised to see Clyfford suddenly appearing in her yard.Upon seeing the dagger stabbed into Isaac's ankle, she frowned and turned to look at Clyfford, asking, "Lord Regent, what brings you here?""Greetings, Your Highness." Clyfford didn't see what Skylar had just done, but he felt
"Leander, go fetch the imperial doctor now." Skylar immediately stepped forward to support Isaac and turned to shout toward the room behind them.After Isaac was helped into a room, the imperial doctor examined his injuries, applied medicine, and then left.When Skylar entered the room with a set of new clothes, she saw that Isaac had already fallen into a deep sleep on the bed.Seeing his stubble-covered face and his frown in his sleep, Skylar couldn't help but stare at him in a daze. She wondered how many troubles he had gone through.Isaac woke up at midnight and felt much better. When he turned around, he saw new clothes placed on the table and two maids standing quietly by the door with their heads lowered.Seeing him wake up, two maids immediately stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Mr. Garten. Her Highness has instructed us to wait for you to wake up and assist you with bathing and dressing.""No need. I can do it myself." Isaac limped out of bed and walked over to the l
He saw Lucifer's name.Isaac abruptly squinted. Was it Lucifer he knew, or someone else with the same name?However, he didn't think too much about it. Everything would only be clear once he was on the battlefield. After putting the name list away, he turned around and lay down on the bed.The next morning, as Isaac was meditating cross-legged, he heard Hallie's cries outside."Mr. Garten..." Hallie stumbled in while crying.With his clothes in tatters and covered in bloodstains, he knelt disheveled before Isaac. Afterward, Skylar followed and entered the room.Isaac felt desperate when he saw Hallie's condition.Yesterday, Clyfford whispered that Raelynn was already in his hands. Isaac had some doubts about that. That was why he requested Skylar to bring Hallie over. It seemed like what Clyfford said was true."How is my mother? Is she alright?" Isaac immediately helped Hallie up and asked anxiously."Your mother is fine, but Mr. Alcott and I were tortured," Hallie said, his
As a vassal state of the Kingdom of Vriweth, the people of the Kingdom of Northwing were taller. It had a different climate, environment, and food culture.However, the language and currency were the same as in the Kingdom of Vriweth.The attendant was completely stunned when he saw Isaac casually put down 100 taels.The economy of the Kingdom of Northwing was much weaker compared to the Kingdom of Vriweth. So, 100 taels of silver would take an attendant roughly two years to earn."Gentlemen, please follow me," the attendant said as he quickly headed toward the stairs.He brought Isaac and Hallie straight to the top floor of the tavern.As the snow fell heavily, the attendant came to the edge of the balcony, pointed to the right, and said loudly, "Gentlemen, just head in that direction. If you ride the Snow Beast, you'll reach the palace in less than half a day."But who are you looking for in the palace? I can inform you which division you should go to.""We're looking for you
In less than half an hour, the bearded man walked in and said, "His Majesty has agreed to see you both. Please follow me."Isaac and Hallie got up and walked outside. Then, they saw a sleigh carriage parked in the yard. The two animals in front of the carriage looked like camels but were completely white.They then got into the carriage, and the bearded man followed them in. The carriage then started moving quickly away.Isaac looked through the small windows on the sides of the carriage and saw that they had entered the royal palace. After winding through for about half an hour, they finally came to a halt.The three of them entered a grand palace. When they reached the main gate, the bearded man made a gesture inviting them to proceed inside, while he stayed outside.Isaac and Hallie walked inside. In the hall on the right, a gray-haired elderly man in a white robe was sitting in front of a desk reading a book."Greetings, Your Majesty. I'm Isaac Garten," Isaac said softly with
