Duke Lancia is getting bored today. His plan to quarantine the patients from Cadia's Kingdom didn't find any obstacle.
The Emperor, Arthur William Alexander IV, gladly agreed on it. Because this idea didn't need so much energy or money to buy weapons, hire spies, or paying the knight's salary.
The thing they have to prepare is to build the hospitals on the border of Atrazal and Cadia, Blackthorn Town, which have beautiful scenery and hires several medical teams.
With a bit help from Armano, Mr Hambbel successfully found the antidote for the pandemic.
If everything works according to the plan, The Cadia's citizen will refuse to go back to their homeland.
The people who got quarantined in the Atrazal Empire will get emperor's protection. Which means, they will get a stable job, better income and better environment than Cardia.
And this is actually the main objection o
The South Island is as good as shethought.Ceciliagladbecause she waswearingher summer dress. Because theclimateis sohot. Unlike the Capital, this island has tropical climate. Which mean they only have two seasons. Dryandrain. She was greeted by Baron Howard Ambrose and his daughter, who called Havana, in the city hall. That is the biggest building in this island. Baron look disappointed when he knows that the Duke doesn't come.How come I had to work with this child? He asked to himself. My daughter is a year older than her. "Then, lets go take a look, Baron Ambrose." Cecilia said while her knights are moving her stuff. "Young Lady, please take a rest. You just already arrived." "No, no. I'm okay. It's still morning anyway. We can come b
Just as Cecilia's instruction, every adults woman in South Island gathers on the city hall's kitchen.Halves of them were cook and the other prepares the ingredients.All of the man prepares the tables and stages on the town squares. They look so happy because it's been a long time since they never celebrate anything.It's so sad to know that they stopped having any festivals. Their life was full with bustle, work and labor.The kids were playing around and everyone seem enjoy the moment.Meanwhile, Cecilia talk to the carpenters for make a stable for the horse and the farmers to gathers weeds or grass.She bought all of the fruits, vegetables, meats and seeds from the merchant on the market without even bargain it.But all of the merchants was surprised when that noble lady asking about the rotten fruit and willing to pay five bronze coins for eve
Cecilia crossed her arms, "Why are you here? You are spying on me, aren't you?"Max smiled. It's hardly to see his expression behind his crow mask, "Of course, no. I am working, right now."Cecilia's brows raised and suddenly she has a bad feeling, "Don't tell me..,""Yes, Duke Lancia hired me as your guards. Be happy, Young Lady. I was the best one for this matter."It's was a half truth. Surely, Duke Lancia hire a member from his guild.Max was the one who chose Hugo as the guard on the South Island. But, he change his mind after their fateful meeting. Especially since Grant 'kidnapped' her, Max chooses to follow her around. Of course as a client. Nothing more or less. Or so he thought."Do you mean by stalking someone?" Cecilia didn't know why did she always being cynical to him.Max holds his chest with a fake painful expression, "Ouch! You hurt me, My Lady
"Wow! This is amazing!" Cecilia's jaw dropped when she saw a beautiful lake which surrounded with pines trees. And it just a few yards from the city hall.The moon isn't visible tonight. But stars was shining so brightly and the surface of this lake was perfectly reflected it. The sound of cicadas makes everything in harmony."Please, sit here." Max said after he put his handkerchief on the ground."Thank you. I bring no handkerchief, now. I will wash yours later.""No need, Chili. You can keep it. I have so many of it."Cecilia giggled, "Of course, you must be doing this a lot, right?"Max smiles and choose to not say anything. Since Cecilia thought that he is a big flirter, he has to maintain his pride. Even though Max never dated any girl before.However, he was unsure about who flirt who. Because, his heart feel a bit weird today. Maybe, I'm ju
"Why you look so sad, Chili?" "No reason. I'm just thinking." "Like I said before, just do what you think is right. You can't control their reaction toward yours. But, you can control your reaction toward their action." Cecilia stares at his interlocutor, "How old are you, Max?" But he shook his head, "It is not wise to asking someone ages. But, since you are the exception, I will tell you. It's nineteen next year." "Oh, you're matured well! I thought you were in mid twenties." Max smirked and Cecilia wonders what kind of face which hidden under his mask. "Let's just say I handle so many things in the guild." "What is the strangest thing you ever face at your guild?" Max tilted his head, "I got a request to take a stone from a dragon who stays deep in the cave." "A stone from a dragon?" Cecilia gasped an
"Thanks, Gale."Ceciliastillsaid it even when the bartender has left. She took a sip of her glass. The sweetness with a bit dry sensation were tickling her throat. She likes it and emptiedtheglass in one big gulp. "Isitfitsyourliking, My Lady?" Hugo asked when he saw her
Three years ago,Max doesn't like this quietness in this cave. The atmosphere were strange and peculiar."You look uncomfortable." Grant Lancia aka Marquess Hagrav smirked on him.Max nodded and have no intention of having a chat on this place. He doesn't want to get too attached with this man.As a brother of Duke Lancia, Grant has a bit arrogance and strong headed personality.But he pays well for this journey. Grant want to find a dragon stone which hidden deep in this cave.Since it was located in the Forbidden Forest, where all the dangerous creatures lived, Grant asked Max's to be his guardian. He just need one person who was the best on this kind of the quest.For Max, it just an easy task. Forbidden Forest is just like a playground to him. He knew every little thing on that forest because he was practiced his ability in this forest si
Before Hark can react, Max jump as high as he can. All the dragon has one weakness. It is the head. Middle area of it's horn which saving it energy stone. Hark's tail quickly whip him, but Max was faster. He finally land a blow to the head. Nothing happened. Hark didn't even move for an inch. But Grant stop screaming and the fire on his body was gone. It is strange since Grant's body look fine even after burned alive. His clothes look unscratched, and he just looks like the same as before. "Sir, are you okay?" Max shouted while he still on Hark's head. Grant hold his head. His body feeling cold and everything feel like a dream. A bad one. That's why all he managed to say was,"Oh… god." Max then jump to the ground and checking it out. The dragon isn't dead yet. He can feel it heart beat somehow. Hark's eyes was wide opened and glued to every
