Prince Victor said nothing as his younger sister led the young man beside her into the building. When Darrin stepped through the door, he saw a large room filled with dozens, maybe even hundreds of display cases, shelves and tables, all filled with various types of weapons. Without needing Helena to explain, he could tell by the quality that this was a collection of weapons, mostly from past kings.

They continued walking briskly. When they reached the second floor, a similar scene greeted them - hundreds of glass cases containing various types of armor, ranging from full steel sets to modern titanium. Darrin only glanced at them briefly, since that wasn't what he was looking for at the moment.

It was not until they reached the third floor that he saw stacks of books in one part of the room and various types of plants in another. The aroma on this floor was different, a potent mixture of books and medicinal herbs that permeated the air.

Princess Helena didn't stop at any of the cabinet

    "Your Highness, if you force me to taste it, the consequences will be severe. I cannot guarantee that this potion will still be effective."Darrin's expression was just as serious. He had run out of ways to convince the prince."Huh, you can't guarantee it? Or is it that what you're holding has no use at all? Or are you trying to poison my father with it?""Your Highness, forgive my impertinence, but I am a doctor. It is my duty to treat the sick." Darrin still couldn't comply with Hector's order."And I am a prince! My duty is to keep my father and my family safe. So why is it so hard for you to prove it's safe?"When it seemed there was no resolution to this dispute, someone from the crowd suddenly stepped forward and took the bowl from Darrin's hand."This drink... why not try a little?"It was Prince Arlington, growing impatient with the commotion. Without another word, he raised the bowl to his lips.Gulp!"Yuck! What is this? It tastes terrible! So strange!"Arlington immediatel

    Without the prince needing to clarify his intentions, Darrin already knew that if he failed to open the relic or heal the king, it would inevitably lead to death. But that didn't stop him from trying to unlock the ancient artifact.There was nothing else left to try. Since this was the last chance, why should he let it slip away?"I won't let you down, Your Highness. I'll do my best."Hector handed the object to Darrin, though his look carried a subtle threat. "If you try to take it from me, I'll end your life right here!"Darrin said nothing more, focusing his attention on the object in his palm."A dragon design surrounding it? Doesn't that mean it's a dragon egg?"In Arcadian mythology, the dragon was one of the most revered creatures. Its egg was said to have immense power, capable of granting any wish. It could even cure any illness."It is said that a dragon's egg can even bring the dead back to life!"With such magical properties, it should be more than enough to heal the king.

    King Victor casually stretched his body as he usually did upon waking. However, Hector, watching him, could no longer hold back the tears streaming from the corners of his eyes. "Father..."Meanwhile, the king furrowed his brow at his son's behavior. Although Hector was very strong, he also had a sensitive heart. If he was crying, something serious must be happening."Hector, what are you doing? Why are you crying?""Father, I don't even know where to start. But I am so happy."Then he explained how a week ago the king had suddenly fallen asleep at the dinner table. He had been sleeping ever since, and no doctor or healer had been able to determine the cause, let alone cure it.The king's expression immediately changed. He was shocked, completely shocked. He hadn't realized that what had happened to him was so dangerous, that it had brought him to the brink of meeting the king of the underworld."Luckily, Darrin was here, so your life was saved in time."When Hector mentioned Darrin,

    King Victor enjoyed everything on the table with great enthusiasm, as if he was tasting such delicious food for the first time."Darrin, how is it, is it tasty?" he asked as he chewed his food."It is truly amazing, Your Majesty," Darrin replied with a smile on his face.Even though he said that, for some reason, the worry that had been gnawing at his heart only grew stronger."Good! Very good! Here, you must try this!" King Victor picked up a hefty roasted lamb shank and placed it on Darrin's plate.He continued talking, mostly to Darrin, while enjoying everything in front of him.The banquet went on much longer than usual. Normally, the king would spend only thirty minutes at such events. But this time it went on for almost three hours.After the meal, King Victor led everyone into the main hall, where he spent most of his day. Normally, the king would use this hall to receive updates on all the affairs of the palace and allow the people to bring their complaints or problems directl

    If King Nicolaus brought such a large army, wouldn't it seem like he was heading to a battlefield?"I wouldn't dare say anything until I see it with my own eyes, Your Majesty," the guard said, keeping his head down.The guard's report immediately caused an uproar in the palace hall. Not only the high officials, but everyone present was shocked by the news."This is truly alarming!" one official said to another. "Why is King Nicolaus coming to Arcadia with such a large army? What is he really after?""It seems that the situation is more complicated than we thought. We need to prepare for all possibilities."The atmosphere in the hall, once festive and joyful, now became tense and pressurized. This tension wasn't because they feared the Kingdom of Heaven. That wasn't the reason.They had powerful cultivators like Prince Hector and Shadow, who could lead armies to face any attack, no matter how strong.However, Arcadia and the Kingdom of Heaven had never had any history of conflict. If s

    Several people in the row of seats stared back at Nicolaus. Among them were Darrin and Prince Hector.Especially for Darrin, many questions had filled his mind the moment he saw Nicolaus and his officials enter the hall. Now he understood why he had felt uneasy earlier. "Is it because of their arrival?"He also kept an eye on Theobaldus. "The old man who approached me in the starlight is someone close to the king?" From the way Theobaldus spoke and interacted with Nicolaus, Darrin could tell that the old man must be the second most important person on Green Island after the king.Then he looked at Nicolaus, who happened to be looking at him as well. "If this old man was the one who orchestrated all of this," the plan to make him the sole candidate for governor of Blissfeld and the plan to poison King Victor, "he must have done it with the king's approval, right?"It was impossible for Theobaldus to have planned all this without Nicolaus' knowledge. And if what he thought was true, thi

    One by one, these people expressed their admiration, causing the hall to fill with murmured whispers. However, hearing all these hopes and praises did not bring joy to Princess Helena. On the contrary, it only added to her burden, which was clearly reflected on her face.Seeing the princess's expression, Nicolaus said nothing further. He gently took her left hand and slipped the ring onto her ring finger."I don't want your answer now. But please don't make me suffer and die within a week without hearing it. But don't hesitate or be afraid to say what is really in your heart, because no matter what your answer is, I will be glad to hear it.""And please don't misunderstand me. I'm not doing this to impose my will on you," he continued as he carefully placed the ring on her finger. "I just want to show you how sincere my feelings for you are. You can return it if you find that you don't share the same feelings."Nicolaus' words left Helena speechless. In her many years on Green Island,

    King Victor was speechless when he heard the accusation that Nicolaus made against Darrin. "No, it can't be true, can it?" he thought in confusion. "Darrin could not have orchestrated such a heinous plan!"Though his heart wanted to deny it, like everyone else, his mind told him that the ruler of Green Island wouldn't make unfounded claims. If he was going to make an accusation, it would have to be after gathering all the necessary evidence.Besides, Nicolaus and Darrin came from different places, and there had been no previous animosity between them. So there was no reason to doubt that the first man's accusation was true.Still, for some reason, King Victor found it hard to accept that Darrin, the young man who had helped him, was the mastermind behind the whole scheme."Victor, I know that in your heart you will not justify an accusation without seeing the evidence for yourself. I won't blame you if you don't believe what I've said so far. But you must hear this man!"Nicholas turn

    Darrin nodded. "I understand, my queen."The way Darrin answered made Helena blush again. She was now confident that she could give the item to him.Once the earring was in his hand, Darrin removed the green gem that was its pendant and attached it to his Moreau necklace.Green and red light emanated from the necklaces, reaching as far as the clouds and piercing them.At that moment, a light appeared from behind the clouds. Moments later, a female figure, adorned in gold from head to toe, smiled at him. Darrin immediately knelt down, for the woman's features indicated that she was the Moon Goddess Fenrisar had described."Since you have completed your first trial, accept this as your reward." The goddess raised the golden staff in her hand, and a golden ray descended to the earth and merged with Darrin's body.The goddess then vanished. But Darrin felt something strange happening to his body.He raised his hand and saw it transform into water, fire, earth, air, and all the elements of

    "Why? Why are you doing this? No!"Splash!Darrin's scream faded as his body fell into the water. But the scream continued to echo in his heart even as his body began to sink to the bottom of the lake."Why did you sacrifice yourself for me? Why didn't you let me do it for you?"Darrin felt completely devastated. Not only because he had failed to protect the princess, but also because he had failed to protect his other loved ones before."Why does everyone close to me have to suffer such a tragic fate? Why can't I protect them?"The regret and grief grew stronger in his heart as his body sank deeper into the lake.At the same time, he felt his chest tighten and it became difficult to breathe. It seemed that Helena's plan to save Darrin would end in failure, as the young man's weakened body made it impossible for him to use any internal energy or technique to help him breathe.Darrin understood this, and it only deepened his regret."If only you had gone into the lake instead, perhaps

    "Greetings to you, Mother!" The Dark Knight could not contain the joy in his heart as he saw the young woman rise from the ground and look in his direction. "I-I know you may not have expected us to rouse you from your slumber. But..."The Dark Knight did not hesitate to reveal his intentions to the young woman who was, after all, his biological mother. "We've been going through a lot of trouble lately, and we need your help."The Dark Knight continued to pour his heart out. Although it had been a long time since he had last spoken to his mother, he was not embarrassed to say anything."Mother, there's one more thing I want to ask you. It's about the position of Prime Minister in the kingdom. Since I'm the one who woke you up, would you be willing to give me that position?"All this time, the Dark Knight had seemed obedient to Theobaldus, or even to his nephew Nicolaus. Yet deep in his heart, he held a grudge against them."But I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't want the title. I

    Spurt!At the edge of the lake, Darrin vomited large amounts of water from his mouth after Helena had pumped his chest several times. After that, it was clear that Darrin was gasping for air, as if he had run out of oxygen. But he still couldn't open his eyes."Darrin, wake up!""Wake up, Darrin!"He faintly heard a soft and melodious voice in his ear. At the same time, a gentle hand stroked his cheek.When Darrin finally managed to open his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure sitting right in front of him."Your Highness..."Helena was no longer wearing the leather mask that had sunk to the bottom of the lake. With her hair and clothes still wet, she looked exceptionally beautiful."Thank goodness you're awake!" Helena couldn't hide the happiness on her face as she saw the young man begin to open his eyes. Darrin might not be able to see it, but the feelings in the princess's heart for him had grown much deeper and stronger than before.Earlier, when Helena had seen Nicolaus about to hit

    When Hector left Arcadia, he probably never imagined that his plans would change so quickly. Originally, he intended to take the vial, give it to Darrin and leave. Unexpectedly, he lost Darrin sooner than he expected.And after seeing the cold form of Queen Marielle lying in the coffin, it was as if he could see the end of the world through her. This sight only strengthened his resolve."All right, one more time!" Hector had made up his mind to destroy the vial. No matter what he had to do, no matter how great the sacrifice, he would do it.Catching his breath and releasing his right hand that had been held by his left, Hector tried to rise from his sitting position, preparing for the next attack."Don't even think about trying that again, because I won't just stand by!" Nicolaus pointed his finger at Hector's face from the other end. Apparently, he was not ready to give up so easily either. "I will destroy you, or vice versa!"Both men had suffered severe injuries to their right hand

    The incident threw the top of the tower into chaos. The mages immediately rushed to the stairs and descended hastily. Meanwhile, the soldiers below stood on alert. They did not approach the top of the tower, nor did they dare do so without Nicolaus' orders. But they were ready at a moment's notice."Darrin!" Hector shouted, clenching both fists. He knew how devastating the strike of a cultivator at the peak of the King level could be when unleashed at full power. As he had just witnessed.On the other side, as if Hector's presence meant nothing to him, Nicolaus rose from his kneeling position, clutching the vial in his hand. His face was dark and expressionless. As he moved toward the coffin, he himself opened the grandmother's mouth."Nicolaus, I beg you, at least listen to my explanation!" Hector fought to control his anger, trying to speak to the ruler of Green Island with a cool head. "I don't want to force you to change your mind, but please listen to me."Nicolaus lifted his eye

    Nicolaus asked gently, a smile on his face. His demeanor naturally made Helena feel a little more at ease, allowing her to speak her heart without fear."Yes, Your Majesty. I am very worried that he won't be able to cure them without this medicine. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could spare a little for him."Helena spoke with bright eyes, as if she was doing something very important for herself. But at that moment, her face suddenly tensed. "Oh no, what did I just say?" she thought to herself. "I made a huge mistake!"And just as she had feared, Nicolaus' face turned red. Extremely red."My God, what will happen now?" As she thought this, Helena could see the change in the king's expression. It was clear that he was suppressing his anger."So it's true what I thought," Nicolaus said in a trembling and frightened tone. "The one in your heart is that bastard, not me! So why did you deceive me with your sweet words?"When Helena accepted Nicolaus' proposal and agreed to marr

    Nicolaus said nothing but lowered his head."Nico, tell me, is this girl the one you're looking for?" Theobaldus shouted, anger and frustration evident in his voice.On the one hand, they had lost the potion, and the position of the full moon in the sky had shifted. Even if they found the potion and revived the queen, it would still be a grave sin for them.On the other hand, he was furious with his nephew for being so blinded by love."You sacrificed the future of the kingdom for a girl? Since when did you become so weak?"His anger made him forget the rule of not speaking ill of anyone in this sacred place."Tell me, are you...""Yes, I am looking for her, uncle. I really am," Nicolaus shouted back.He hated himself for being weak because of his feelings for the girl. But deep in his heart he believed that Helena was really there."I didn't just hear her voice. I could smell her scent. I'm sure it's the same scent I smelled this morning!""What?"Suddenly, Theobaldus jumped. Not bec

    The chanting of the mages grew louder as the full moon crept a few degrees from its perfect alignment above the tower. They continued to recite a birthing spell, hoping for the best in the queen's resurrection.After nearly half an hour, the mages suddenly shouted in unison, "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will bless us forever!"Their chant echoed throughout the island. A second later, Nicolaus, Theobaldus, and all the soldiers guarding the area shouted the same mantra. "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will always bless us!"When the echo of the voices died down, the moon was directly above the tower, illuminating the face and body of Queen Marielle as she lay in the glass coffin.Nicolaus and Theobaldus rose from their positions on the floor and approached the coffin."Greetings to you, Mother. Queen, ruler of the universe, and grace to the world." As he spoke, Theobaldus kissed the queen on the cheek.At that moment, there was a stark contrast between Queen Marielle and Theoba
