Leon crushed the knife in his hand, his eyes glowing bluish as he rose from his seat.Swoosh*Another knife materialized from his side. He deftly avoided it and seized the hand of the person wielding the blade."Hmm... now they have the audacity to appear in front of me?"Leon was astonished. The realization hit him that the assassin was no longer sneaking but boldly confronting him."Who the hell sent you, I wonder," he mused aloud, not expecting much of an answer from the captive person.Ugghh*The guy struggled, extracting more hidden knives from his clothes and swung them at Leon.Leon's expression turned stoic. He crushed the assassin's hand and captured the other one.Arghh*The assassin's scream echoed in the park."You shouldn't swing these around. It could really hurt someone," Leon remarked nonchalantly. The assassin fell to their knees, groaning, while Leon still held their wrist."Ah, don't worry too much, sir. I won't kill you. But..."He grinned, locking eyes with the as

Leon couldn't recall any instances where he had caused such a mishap, except for the event in the forest. "I've made sure to keep my face unrecognizable to them, ensuring that my identity remains unknown." Even in the woods before this, he made it a daily routine to ensure no hostile forces were spying on him. "So, if I were to conclude that they aren't involved and consider the timing of my departure from the witch's forest..." The challenges he faced and the bounty on his head seem to coincide with the time spent in the witch's forest. "Before that, there was nothing noteworthy happening, except after I left the witch's forest." Therefore, the issues that arose in his path might be linked to "Could it be because of the matters I tried to resolve about her? If so, then my initial thoughts would likely be correct." 'Those' peoples might be the ones who sent people after him. "Haaa... really... I tried to maintain peace." However, someone's behavior had infuriated him. "They

Whispers spread throughout the surroundings as peoples attempted to approach the Prince's entourage. However, Luis' icy demeanor emitted a forbidding aura, deterring anyone from getting too close. Wearing a contented smile, the Prince remarked, "Luis, I'm delighted you're here." "You're merely employing me as a buffer against them," Luis retorted. "Exactly, and it's proven quite useful." "Shall we face the consequences together?" "No—why would you suggest that?" "You know what I'm about to do." The two locked eyes, each conveying their unwavering resolve. Luis desires to feign a friendly demeanor to draw others near, intending to irritate Zedd. Conversely, Zedd wishes for Luis to maintain a cold exterior to repel unwanted attention. Observing both of them, Joshua shook his head and remarked, "I believe it's time for both of you to cease this. His Majesty is about to arrive." The two sighed in agreement, quickly nodding at Joshua before turning their attention to the door. *

While the entire crowd buzzes with excitement at the arrival of the young king, the servants move busily, arranging seats for the royalties and the audience in preparation for the award ceremony. Once that done, the royal couple and Leon gracefully descend the staircase, taking their designated seats at the front. Even the prince took a seat beside Leon. Subsequently, the crowd finally parts and takes their places on the provided chairs. Only after this entire process is completed does the King finally steps forward to make his speech. With the music fades to avoid disrupting him, an orb-like sound amplifier is placed in his hand. With his mischievous demeanor now absent, he begins to speak. "To begin with, it's truly a blessing for all of us to gather at this ceremony today." The remainder of his speech revolves around expressions of gratitude and reflections on the war, among other topics. The speech is notably shorter than usual, possibly indicating an intention to be considerat

In the room just before entering the banquet, Leon made a striking entrance that left the royal couple utterly stunned. It was only when Leon stood before them that they finally snapped out of their daze."Ah, thank you for gracing us with your presence, Your Majesty, the King of the Cloud's Kingdom. I'm Alex Benjamin, the king of this Kingdom, and beside me is my wife, Queen Bilqis Benjamin."Alex extended his hand to the young king, while the queen nodded her head slightly. Leon took his hand and replied, "No, it's me who should be grateful that you both accepted my whimsical message and allowed me to come here, Your Majesty. It's nice to meet both of you. I'm Daniel Ermir, please call me Daniel."His head nodded in a bow towards the queen before Alex spoke, "No, it's okay, Daniel. In fact, we're grateful that you've reached out to us. It's truly nice to meet you here as well. Please have a seat. I think it's better for us to talk while sitting."The three of them shared warm smiles

Leon swiftly grew bored at the banquet. He wasn't the type to enjoy such gatherings, and the absence of his target only heightened his sense of ennui. 'Should I approach them?' he pondered. Contemplating being amicable with those connected to his target, he hesitated. However, the congregation of unsavory individuals in one place dissuaded him. 'Moreover, if I approach them, they'll likely conceal their nefarious side from me.' Opting for a different strategy, he heightened his auditory senses, focusing on their conversations. Many topics circulated within the group, but most seemed trivial to Leon. However, one snippet grabbed his attention: -"Our next meeting is at the usual place. Do not forget to come." -"Yes, sir." -"Yes." These words emanated from a member of the group with a noticeably higher status, capturing Leon's interest. 'One of the five dukedoms...' Sheryl Hillary, a formidable woman in her late 70s, had formerly served as a military strategist but retired due t

As Duke and Duchess Fronti settled into their seats, Leon studied their expressions. The air seemed charged with a mixture of tension and curiosity. Sensing the unspoken words hanging in the atmosphere, Leon decided to break the silence."I assume there's a reason for both of you seeking an audience with me," Leon said, his gaze shifting between the couple.The couples thought,'we just want to make sure who you are.'They both had somehow reach the same conclusion that perhaps the king before them are their son. However there's also a doubt.'My son disappeared before my eyes.''If we consider the circumstances, he should have died.'However, the young man in front of him definitely give off the same vibes as their son and this is really confusing them. 'At first, we didn't intend to confront him.'Believing that they could no longer play the role of eternal protectors for their son, they reluctantly accepted the situation and initially chose to let the matter go.However, a lingeri

Somewhere after the banquet concluded,A swift-moving shadow blended with the darkness. It was Gray, tasked by Leon to clandestinely observe someone.Infiltrating the mansion, he navigated cautiously, skillfully avoiding vigilant guards.Tch 'There are so many of them. Is it really possible for me to pull this off?'Gray harbored doubts about the feasibility of his mission, considering the heavily guarded nature of the location. Even gaining entry earlier had been a stroke of luck.'But I still need to try.'Driven by Leon's orders, he pressed on, acknowledging the challenge. He continued stealthily until he reached the target's bedroom, where he began searching for an optimal vantage point for espionage.However, due to the presence of surrounding guards, his attempt proved futile.'I should incapacitate one of them.'Consequently, he devised a plan to locate a lone guard and subdue them. However,'Not them.'The majority of guards appeared to operate in pairs, heightening the challe

The pair fell into a brief silence upon hearing Leon's words.Indeed, their visit here wasn't solely for this investigation.As narrated in the novel, at this point, the duo should have been progressing on their journey somewhere in the eastern lands. Upon discovering clues regarding the dragon's presence there, they set out to investigate.Yet, somehow, they find themselves here instead.This unforeseen circumstance likely stems from the butterfly effect of Leon's attendance at the banquet, causing the issue to escalate to a point where they couldn't ignore it.It's not that Leon failed to grasp their perspective; rather,'They ought not to divert their attention this way. They should continue their journey. Otherwise, the narrative would veer off course.'That's why Leon gently reminds them, despite the risk of raising suspicion."...It's true that we had other matters to attend to, but... how did you become aware of that, Your Majesty? I don't recall mentioning it, do you, Josh?""

Joshua and Luis exchanged glances. Having heard the recounted story, they now identified the culprit responsible for everything that had occurred. However, this revelation didn't automatically translate into complete trust in the witch's narrative, even considering her close association with the duchess and duke. They were well aware of the witches' notorious reputation. Furthermore, recognizing that only one side of the story didn't guarantee authenticity, Joshua stated, "We need to delve deeper into our investigation if we want to find the truth."Luis agreed, saying, "I agree. For now, let's return to your majesty and hear his side of the story before drawing any more conclusions." Subsequently, they expressed their gratitude and took their leave.Julia and the witches were once again left alone in the cabin. The place then lapsed into silence for a moment. Contemplating something, Julia finally made up her mind and spoke, "Ellen... could you assist me with something?""Me?"******

Meanwhile, in another cabin."I apologize, Juli. I couldn't arrange a better place for you in advance.""Hey, what are you saying? Don't act like I'm a stranger. We're friends.""Hahaha, right, we're friends. But still, you must be shocked to see me like this.""...I'm more surprised to see you suddenly change like that. Did the curse break?"Julia inquired, a bit curious after witnessing Ellen, the witch, transform her appearance into her past beautiful self right before her eyes."Ah, that... it's thanks to Daniel.""Hmm? Why thanks to him?""Well, I don't know yet, but you know about my weaknesses, right?""Your core, yes, I know. So?""I don't know why, but whenever that guy touches me or my core, my appearance reverts back to the old me. It's quite a miracle, though I still don't know why.""..."Julia fell into contemplation, absorbing her friend's words as her mind worked to pinpoint the truth. She spoke cautiously,"Ellen, who cursed you? My husband won't tell me much. Did you
Chapter 224 : Mother 3
The dragon known to Leon as Tania had a past when she was called Tania Ermir. This was the name she bore before marrying her late husband, Daniel Arwin. As an egg, she was discovered by the royalty of the Cloud's Kingdom, who took care of her since her mother passed away shortly after laying the egg. Despite their care, Tania had to fend for herself during the crucial moments of her egg's survival. After centuries in her egg form, Tania emerged as a beautiful snake dragon. The Cloud's Kingdom royalty treated her as their own, giving her the name Tania and adopting their family name, Ermir. However, driven by adult dragon instincts, Tania eventually left the kingdom to journey on her own, only to return and find her hometown no longer existing. 'She had a challenging journey,' Leon thought before continuing, "in any case, now you comprehend the ties I have to that forest and the clouds, and you've discovered my identity. Thus, that concludes the first question, doesn't it?" Luis no

Leon's eyes briefly swept across the three figures, offering them a slight bow before returning his attention to Ellen. He felt no compulsion to extend excessive greetings to them. His focus shifted, driven by a more pressing matter."Anyway, how did this happen?" His question aimed to unravel the current situation before him. Ellen had been in this condition for an extended period, making her sudden ability to contact her friends a dubious development.The notion of her meeting his mother seemed implausible, given the duchess's infrequent outings. As for forming acquaintanceship with the boys, especially Joshua, it appeared highly unlikely. Joshua, with his temperament, would unquestionably eliminate her, just as he had done to Tania. After all, the witch was notorious for her atrocities.And what about the duke, Carl? Carl possessed the ability to travel great distances, using methods unknown to Leon. If he intended to return home without utilizing his unique abilities, Leon was con

"Anyway, Gray... I'll be departing from this place tomorrow."CrackThe glass in Gray's hand cracked the moment Leon finished his sentence. Gray swiftly shifted his attention to Leon, his other hand still gripping a jug of water, as he inquired, "I will follow you, right? Your Majesty?""Hmm?" Leon took a bite of the bread he had soaked in mushroom soup."I will be leaving alone, though," he casually stated."What!? Then... then, what about me?""You'll stay here.""But why? Your Majesty... is there something you don't like about me? I'll fix it—""Fix your way of calling me first," Leon muttered sternly, though his demeanor remained casual."Alright... Milord. I will call you that... is that okay?""Hmm, much better. Even so, you won't follow me.""What? Why?"Gray's question made him look like an abandoned puppy, but Leon wasn't moved in the slightest."You still have things to do here for me. So, stay. I will go home alone."In the end, Gray had to give up."...Haa, I will do as yo
Chapter 221 : Gray 2
Anyway, that's what transpired. However, when it came to the conversation between Daniel and the cloud people, Gray remained unaware. He was preoccupied being given a tour by the Cloud's inhabitants.Upon leaving the location, Daniel handed him a piece of canvas and explained that he had used it to secure their entry to the palace.Confusion clouded Gray's mind about how it happened. Nevertheless, witnessing Daniel's familiarity with the cloud people and hearing them address him as "Milord," Gray had no doubt about the truth of his current master's words.Furthermore,'Even though he said he would just pretend to be the royalty of the Cloud's Kingdom... I'm pretty sure that this man— he was indeed the king of these people!'There was a misunderstanding in Gray's mind that Daniel was, in fact, a royal figure.From that moment onward, the way Gray treated Leon changed. Instead of addressing him as sir or milord, he now referred to him as his majesty, fitting of his lord's status. Althou
Chapter 220 : Canvas
Despite Gray's incredulity at what he was witnessing, both he and Leon found themselves on the cloud. People who appeared engrossed in their own activities halted their work and approached the duo, forming a crowd. Leading them was an elderly man who greeted Daniel as if they were familiar. "Milord, we have come as you called. Is there something the matter?" "Hey Anan, sorry to call you suddenly, but... I just wanted to ask you something. Can we talk for a moment?" "Sure. But that man..." "Ah, he's my servant. I'll leave him in the care of others for a moment. Can you guys show him around, perhaps?" "Sure, it's my joy to do so!" "We will do it for you, milord!" "Yeah, young man, please follow us!" While Gray was being led around by the cloud's inhabitants, Leon ventured to a secluded spot with Anan. "By the way, Anan... I don't recall you ever calling me 'milord' before. Why now?" "...That's right. At first, we didn't think we could use that title, as it's reserved for our ma

"Arghhh* RAN!!! Please help us!! De-demon!! A child watches as his village burns down. All around him, the air is filled with screams from the villagers. His hands clench tightly onto the body of his mother, who carries him while running. His father was left behind to protect them both. Although at first, his mother hesitated, for him, she ran. How long has it been? He didn't know. However, the only time his mother stops is when they no longer see the village in their sight. His mother leans down behind a tree, still tightly hugging him and patting him, telling him everything will be fine, that she will protect him. "Mother..." The small child utters those words unconsciously, trying to look up to see his mother's face. Thud* Suddenly, at that moment, his ears hear the sound of something falling near him. His eyes stop turning at his mother; instead, his head instinctively turns to look at what had fallen. 'What is that?' His head questions, looking at an unknown object l
