The Minister of the Left shook his head. "Your Majesty, there is no proof that it was done by someone else. Also, no one dares to approach, much less enter that cursed tower. Not only was it your royal decree, but also no one wanted to die in the hands of the witch." "Similarly, there is no proof that the killing was done by the Third Princess," the King responded. "She is just a seventeen-year-old girl, not yet even an adult, who has always been alone in her residence. How can such a weak body…

"The Third Princess," King Armen corrected. He didn't like his daughter being called a 'witch', and one needed to give respect to the Third Princess of Abetha. Lord Eudes stepped forward with an amiable expression. "Minister of the Left, do be careful of your words, lest the royal court misunderstands you that you are blatantly showing disrespect to the royal family and your entire family earns the ire of the crown." "Apologies, Your Majesty! That is not my intention." The old minister lowered his…

An entire night passed by, but Seren didn't come out of the tower. King Armen continued to kneel in the rain at the same place outside the tower's main entrance like a sinner was asking for forgiveness. Beside him, Lord Eudes had done his best to make the King as comfortable as possible and had ordered the knights to fetch their king a thick hooded cloak, as he continued to accompany him silently till morning. Outside the Third Princess's residence, the chaos had subsided, yet a heavy tension enveloped…

"Are you fine, dear?" Queen Niobe asked. "Yes, Mother. If I were in my room, I would have been hurt by now," Miera replied as she pointedly looked around the empty room, which had no glass or porcelain things around. "Mother, you knew this would happen; that's why you brought me here, right?" Queen Niobe nodded. "How?" Miera asked. "You don't need to know, dear. Once your room is clean, you can go back. Make sure to put on some bandages here and there," the Queen instructed before standing up…

The entire Royal Palace of Abetha was thrown into disarray, filling people's hearts with terror and dread. Although it was in the middle of the night, whether it be the royals, their designated knights, the guards on duty, and even the servants, people of all walks of life inside the palace were all woken by the horrifying scream of a woman. The powerful scream that caused every item made of glass, porcelain, and other fragile minerals to shatter into pieces. Nothing remained intact, from the huge…

"Is it blood? Are you hurt?" I asked as I got closer to him. Though the sun was setting, the lights from the lamps in my room allowed me to see his body clearly. Though wary, the eagle did not fly when I approached. Just as I was about to reach out to him, he took small steps back but hesitantly stayed still when my finger touched his feathers. When I was sure he would not fly away, my hand lowered, and I observed that there was a tiny wound on his leg, at the outside of his claw fold. "I have a…

More than a day had passed since Drayce, and his troop left Barknor Fortress. A messenger arrived at the Royal Palace of Abetha and went to urgently report to the King. "Your Majesty," Lord Eudes bowed as he entered the King's study together with the messenger. "We have received a message from our spies in Hatha." "What's the news?" King Armen asked worriedly. The messenger kneeled in front of him. "Reporting to His Majesty, the Crown Prince has been successfully rescued, and the troop left…

Not only for military purposes, but the smart prince had always been interested in travel and exploration. If he weren't the Crown Prince of Abetha and bogged down by responsibilities, he would have surely traveled to all the known kingdoms within the continent. In fact, before he joined the military, he enjoyed traveling to other kingdoms together with the envoys for diplomatic purposes. He even had made his own maps for some of those interesting places, which were mostly coded, and only he could…

The changes were inevitable on a battlefield, and in war, one could never be faulted for being too careful. When Drayce and the others talked about their return trip, they knew that their initial plan would not work anymore. With their small number, to escape the full brunt of the joined forces of Hatha and Thevailes would require changes to their previous escape plan that was formed inside King Armen's study. In the initial plan several days ago, Drayce had pointed out the difficulty of returning to…

Just as the battalion reached the royal troop, a number of men soon came out behind the rows of huge rocks. They were wearing black military clothes, which was the uniform of the Megaris army, unlike those knights from the royal troop, who were still wearing the same clothes that they used to disguise when they sneaked inside the Barknor Fortress. The battalion under the colonel had a thousand soldiers, while the soldiers from Megaris were only in the hundreds, meaning Thevailes had an advantage when it…
