Clank! Shling! In no time, the room was filled with the sounds of swords clashing and furniture breaking. "I could have killed you right away, but before that, I will like to taste you nicely, Prince of Griven," the general said while attacking and defending himself from Arlan's sword moves. Although he was older, it could be seen that his attacks were swift and ferocious. He did not even look intoxicated. Arlan was thinking about when did the Thevailes general realize his identity. Could it be…

Half an hour. Plenty could happen in half an hour. Inside Marquis Percy's castle, Drayce and his men searched where the Thevailes general took Prince Arlan. There were several guest rooms prepared for the general that was marked in the map given by the Abethan spy, as it seemed the general had the tendency to move about between the castle and the army barracks. One of their knights who managed to disguise himself as a servant came to them, and Slayer asked, "Where?" When they made their plans…

While the central region of the continent was embroiled in the flames of war, inside the Royal Palace of Abetha, there was someone who seemed to have grown white hair overnight. It was King Armen Ilven, who was not only worried for his only son, but also for his youngest daughter too. Ever since the black smoke incident in her tower, he had been terribly worried for Seren's wellbeing. He had asked his men to check what happened, but due to the magic spell put around the tower by Martha, no one could…

Arlan followed the drunk general and sat beside him while Drayce and his knights went out of the banquet before disappearing in one corner. Time was of the essence, and they needed to get Prince Cian as soon as possible. The map was fixed in Drayce's mind, and he knew the location was close by. As most of the guards were busy enjoying the drinks together with the soldiers and weren't paying much attention to anyone, it was easy for Drayce and the knights to move around without much disturbance.…
-
With each step the drunk general took towards Arlan, the prince's muscles could be seen tensing up. As the person closest to him, Drayce could clearly see his friend wavering. Although the banquet hall was noisy, Drayce spoke in a low voice, using a small western dialect in order to make sure nobody else but the Prince of Griven could understand his words, "Remember the plan. Talk straight, looking into his eyes that will show you are not scared of him. Play hard to get and show you anticipate more from…

When it was finally the turn of their cart to be checked upon reaching the gate, a guard moved the curtain of the cart aside and looked inside. Drayce spoke humbly as he lowered his gaze to hide his eyes, "For the Marquis's special guest." The guard immediately understood and closed the curtain right away, but his gaze made Arlan pale. When he glanced at Arlan, it was as if he's saying, 'so he is the one tonight'; however, as a mere guard, he dared not make that demonic special guest wait for his…

(Seren's POV) Standing by the window, my bored self continued to look at the darkening sky as the sun slowly disappeared behind the mountains. Until last night, my concern had been hunger, but now it changed to boredom. The latest batch of books had all been read during the day. I couldn't even go out now because Martha had warned me not to. Just then, I saw a shadow flying in the sky towards me. Even though it was still far, I understood who it was. "My dinner is here," I sighed, which was…

After a couple of hours of rest in the forest, the sun had already brightened up the clear sky. The elite rescue squad had a quick meal before they readied themselves to leave and reach the Hatha-Thevailes border. By late noon, they quietly crossed the majority of Hatha through its dangerous forests until they arrived in Niaris, the northernmost province of Hatha. Niaris was the territory of Marquis Godfrey Percy, who was also the general guarding the Barknor Fortress. Beyond its walls lay Thevailes.…

The entire night, Drayce and the combined troop of Abetha, Griven, and Megaris continued to move towards Hatha. From there, the battalion of soldiers were left to capture and reinforce Abetha's northern fortress. The elite squad sneaked past the battlefield and crossed Hatha's border at midnight as planned. Around dawn, they stopped and camped in the forest deep inside the Kingdom of Hatha as they needed to rest after riding for a whole night. "This forest is safe as they don't keep watch here due to…

Lord Darus visited the Queen's chamber as soon as the royal troops were confirmed to have left the capital of Abetha. "Your Majesty," the minister bowed as soon as the servants closed the door, leaving him alone with the Queen. Queen Niobe nodded slightly, accepting his bow while sitting in her chair. "The Crown Prince is in Thevailes," he informed. "Calm down, Your Majesty. We know they won't harm the Crown Prince." Queen Niobe was aware of it, but that did not mean she would take this…
