When General Rovira and Sir Gabriel returns to the banquet hall, they instantly heard someone shouting inside followed by a loud crashing sound."Assassins!"A male servant was stabbed by a woman dressed as a maid. Taking that as a signal, a magic circle suddenly appears on the floor and several men dressed in black appear in the banquet hall. All of them are holding different sharp weapons in their hands.Because of that, everyone inside the party hall panics for their lives. Loud screams can be heard everywhere. They are also scattered everywhere hoping to find a better place to hide. The knights inside the party hall quickly gather around Prince Marius who is standing next to the General Commander of the Solaris Knights. General Aster gives his knights an instruction to keep the Crown Prince safe. "Sir Gabriel, go back to the resting room and protect Princess Andrea at all costs!" The Vice General doesn't need to be told twice. After giving General Rovira a firm nod, he turns aro
Before General Commander Castella can say a word, the assassins did not wait anymore and quickly attacked them all at once.Most of the nobles left inside the party hall are all quivering in fear. This assassination attempt is really a surprise for all of them. They all expect a jovial and harmonious birthday party tonight. They even pay the best tailors and dressmakers in the kingdom to make their party clothes tonight.But all of it is useless to think of right now. They are now all afraid for their lives. Someone estimated that a hundred assassins were sent tonight to kill the Crown Prince. It is not hard to tell who is their target tonight. When Prince Marius is nowhere to be found inside the hall, the assassins start following him but was stopped by General Rovira. She already dealt with those assassins who dares to step out of this party hall. They were temporarily stuck from their mission because the female General is too strong and cannot be defeated by a few strokes of sword
Rovira has no time to think about it. She should attack these demonic creatures before investing in this incident. But first, she has to destroy the magic circle so that no more demonic creatures will appear inside the banquet hall. Avoiding the attacks coming from their opponents, Rovira jumps high and lands in front of the magic circle. Using her sword, the female General stabs the floor until she can make a huge crack and distort the magic circle drawn on it.The blinding light that is coming from it disappeared in an instant. Rovira is not too knowledgeable when it comes to magic. But the female General can tell that she succeeded in destroying the magic circle. Before she can try to destroy it further, a demonic creature is charging toward her at the back. "Be careful!"General Commander Castella blocks the demonic creature using his huge sword and kick it in its stomach. There are now standing back to back. General Aster asked if she gets injured but Rovira did not say anything
Rovira watches as Lady Rosalyn helps Roselyn to walk and follows her lead. Even in this kind of situation, she is still a gentle mother to her favorite daughter. Rovira can also see how Lady Rosalyn tries to coax her adopted daughter by saying comforting words in her ear and wrapping an arm around Roselyn's back. When the former Countess and her adopted daughter finally moved to a safer place, Rovira looks at the demonic creature in front of her. Both of her hands and wrists are injured and bleeding. But she cannot feel any pain from it. Ignoring her injuries, the female General moves her hand that is blocking the monster's mouth with a sword."Disgusting." Rovira said as she forcefully removes the sword from the monster's mouth.The demonic creature lets out a pained growl when its tongue gets torn after the female General pulls her sword that is stabbing it. But the monster is not the only one that gets hurt by it. When Rovira moves her hand, her wrist which is pierced by the monst
The General Commander of the Nocturnus Knights is now standing in the middle of the banquet hall. Her military uniform is now a bit messy due to the cuts, dirt, and bloodstains on its fabric. Next to her is the dead body of the demonic creature that she killed just now. While the nobles are thinking of celebrating now that the danger in their lives is no longer alive, the female General looks at her finger that is no longer wearing her ring."I guess it can't be helped, huh," Rovira murmured to herself.Before the nobles can approach her and give their gratitude, something is happening to the female General. As she closes her eyes, the chestnut color of her hair is slowly fading and turning into bluish-silver. Everyone inside the banquet hall is witnessing such a surprising scene. But they become more shocked the moment she opens her eyes and see her deep sapphire eyes."Wait. Isn't she the eldest daughter of Count Byron?" a noble who once saw Charlotte in the past asked."You're righ
Everywhere Charlotte goes, the people's attention is always on her. They can't stop themselves from talking about the revelation that the feracious female General Commander in their empire is the missing daughter of Count Byron White for fourteen years. Although an assassination attempt has happened at the banquet tonight, it is still not enough to cover up the truth that transpired right in front of them. Of course, Charlotte remains indifferent to the attention she's getting tonight. Instead, she continues to do her duty as a General Commander without any flaw. She orders the Nocturnus Knights to bring the assassins who are still alive inside the underground prison and prepare the things she will need for interrogation later. The truth about her identity is the least concern Charlotte has in her mind. What's important for her is to know if her speculation is right—whether the person who sent those monsters and assassins is the same person who is responsible for their kidnapping fou
Roselyn suddenly feels panicked after seeing a lot of nobles who are trying to scold her without holding back. Even if she tries to stop them, the nobles are all pushy and keep on finding a weakness to subdue her. Roselyn tries to ask for her mother's help but she is also helpless in that situation. While looking at the angry faces of these people, she is trying to understand why they suddenly become hostile towards her when she's only talking to Charlotte.Roselyn will never understand these things since she's still relatively new in a noble society. So far, the gatherings she attended before were just simply parties where small gossip is being exchanged. Those gatherings are something they did for fun and can never affect their political affairs.All these times, Roselyn believes that she already knows the ins and outs of their society. She purely believes soft images like hers can gather sympathy and make them believe in the words she says. What Roselyn did not know is that those n
The next day, everyone in the empire is shocked to know the truth about the real identity of General Commander Valentine. Many of them are surprised to know that she is the same daughter of Count White who went missing for fourteen years. But most of them are filled with a wild imagination and fill the missing gap of the story on their own. Some say maybe her kidnapping incident is just a smokescreen so that everyone will not know the truth that Charlotte White is a genius swordmaster. They even made their own story that says Charlotte White must be threatened because of her young age that's why she needed to hide the truth from everyone. In just a few hours, different versions of this story spread in their empire and become the hottest topic for everyone.While everyone is still in shock because of this revelation, the only one who is not affected by it is the main character of everyone's gossip.When Charlotte woke up early, she ate her breakfast in peace. The chef made her usual b
When someone finally removes the blindfold that is covering her eyes, Roselyn blinks several times until she can finally adjust her sight. She tries to scream but the cover on her lips is stopping her from doing it. All Roselyn can do is look around her surroundings while fear is surging in her heart.This should not be happening to her! Roselyn is supposed to visit Lady Silica's mansion today and have some fun when a group of masked men suddenly appear in front of her. She tried to avoid them but their movements were so quick that Roselyn found herself being thrown inside a wagon in just a blink of an eye. She saw her mother trying to help her but the kidnappers left as soon as possible.Roselyn tried to scream for help but it was all in vain. That's because someone covered her eyes before she felt pain in her nape. The next thing she knew, Roselyn is now in this dark and damp room.Although the room is dark, Roselyn can still recognize a few things inside. There were old chairs and t
When Charlotte returns to the Royal Palace, no one dares to talk to her. Everyone who can see the female General can tell that something is off about her today. But it is understandable since they just lost an important person in the worst possible way. If they feel bad about it, then General Commander Valentine must be feeling worse. The moment she enters her office, Charlotte frowns upon seeing a person waiting for her inside. It was General Commander Castella. But the first female General purses her lips and tries to ignore him. But her uninvited guest suddenly touches her arm and triggers the boiling anger that she is trying to hide.Without any hesitation, Charlotte put a hand on General Aster's neck and pushed him onto the wall. Her uninvited guest seems like he did not expect it to happen and he fails to react on time. When General Aster realized what happened, the female General started to squeeze his neck."Who told you to go to my office without any permission?" Charlotte a
"General Rovira, everything is now ready. We are just all waiting for your command.""I see."Kyle, one of the new knights of the Nocturnus Knights, can't help but lift his head and look at the female General who is now standing in front of a window. She is probably looking at the pleasant weather today. But no matter how nice the weather is, everyone can feel the dull and gloomy atmosphere that is covering the Royal Palace.Today, they are now holding the funeral of Sir Gabriel Nortus. Until now, they are still surprised that the brave Vice General of the Nocturnus Knights and the trusted subordinate of General Commander Rovira were found dead inside the royal library. The two deep wounds that pierced his heart were the cause of his death. Whoever killed Sir Gabriel is definitely not an ordinary person.Everyone thought they would hold a huge celebration to congratulate the knights who fought in battle. It was a clear victory for them. As for the Nocturnus Knights, they finished the
Three days had already passed since Charlotte and the Nocturnus Knights marched toward the war zone. The Royal Palace hasn't received letters or any messages from the female General yet. When Count Byron asked about it, Annie told him that it is sometimes happening. They must be busy setting up their camp or planning their strategy after seeing the place where they will face the enemies.While waiting for Charlotte's news, the royal twins are also doing their best to contribute to this war. The Crown Prince is doing well in his job as a temporary leader of their empire since Emperor Halil needs to rest more because of his now weak body. Everyone in the palace can see that Prince Marius is now ready to become the next person who will lead their empire once His Majesty steps down as their leader.Prince Marius is managing the political affairs inside the Royal Palace. With the help of their royal council and the cooperation of Saint Ingrid, the Crown Prince's work is getting smooth every
"Excuse me for being rude. But can Lady Rosalyn get straight to the point?" Charlotte asked as she put her teacup back on its saucer.Madam Rosalyn can't help but look at her biological daughter. She's been thinking for the past weeks, especially during the days she's been sick. The person in front of her seems like an unfamiliar person again. Lady Rosalyn is asking herself—Where did it go wrong?And she quickly found the answer to her question. It all started after she lost Charlotte fourteen years ago. Because of her carelessness, she lost her daughter and failed to find her for the past fourteen years. The former Countess even reached the point where she lose hope in finding her daughter again.For their distant and sour relationship, Lady Rosalyn can only blame herself. It was her fault all along. If only she tried her best to mend her relationship with Charlotte, maybe she will not treat her like a stranger now. She finally realized the importance of her former husband's words re
"General Commander, I received a report that the Solaris Knights successfully annihilate the demonic creatures' nest. General Commander Castella and his knights are now on their way to kill the babies so it will not cause any problems for us later.""Oh? Look at that. At least he still has another talent aside from irritating me all day.""General Rovira..."Charlotte ignores the troubled look on Sir Gabriel's face. Instead, she reads the report documents in her hands and checks the whole details about General Aster's work these past few days. In addition to what Sir Gabriel has said to her, the Solaris Knights also confirm that the demonic creatures in the illegal auction indeed come from the Ferzel Kingdom. It is said that General Aster found several receipts with dates written on them and they can use them as solid evidence to prove their crime later.It is also stated in the report that General Aster will return together with the Solaris Knights after they exterminate the hatchlin
Two days after the princess woke up from her coma, the Royal Palace triple its security. They also made sure that the maids and staffs that will serve the princess directly are all trustworthy. The food that is being served to Princess Andrea is now being watched by Butler Dennie. The wizards also made a device that can detect if something unusual is mixed with her foods and drinks. Princess Andrea is now doing fine. Saint Ingrid was almost finished with his task of stabilizing her mana and extracting the remaining poison from her body. His job becomes easier because the princess is now conscious. Her rosy complexion is also back and she does not look like a lifeless doll laying on her bed anymore. They all advised the princess to continue her rest and that she will have a full recovery soon.Although there were a few times when Princess Andrea made everyone worried about her because she would sleep longer than usual. It's because the princess's body cannot handle the fatigue she fel
It's been two days since Princess Andrea was poisoned. The poison was discovered inside the sugar cubes that were placed in the sugar bowl while she was drinking her tea. Every servant in the Royal Palace knows that only their princess is the one who puts sugar in her tea. The person who puts the poison means their target is Princess Andrea from the very start.The poison in her body was already extracted with the help of Saint Ingrid. He also studied the poison used on their princess. It was made from Letir, a plant that can be found in the Northern Empire. After drying it under the sun, they will remove the Letir seeds and pulverize them.Letir powder is odorless and tasteless. This is usually used to cure open wounds and stop their bleeding. But this medicine is also a poison for people who have small mana in their bodies. Although Princess Andrea is not a magician, there is still a small amount of mana in her body since she's a member of the Royal Family.Although they already rem
"One, two, three, four! One, two, three, four! And now spin!"With the lady's signal, Princess Andrea steps her right foot forward and follows the lead of her dance partner for today, Sir Gabriel. Their coordination this time is better compared to their previous lessons earlier. When the princess spins her body, the skirt of her dress which is made of expensive silk is gently following the direction of her body. After that, Princess Andrea makes two steps forward before she smoothly spins three consecutive times before ending their dance."Good job, Princess Andrea. You can now finally dance it without making a mistake." Lady Selina, the young lady who becomes the princess's friend, said. "You just need to practice a little to fix the few rough movements of your arms and hips."Today, Princess Andrea is practicing how to dance with Sir Gabriel as her partner. Unfortunately, the princess's instructor got sick and she cannot attend their lesson today. Luckily, Lady Selina is currently p
