General Theobarlt was having an evaluation to every knight unit at that time. He visited all units from across the Empire. What made his brows furrow was when he came to the Marshall Unit and the Captain was not present at that moment. He asked about Captain Marshall’s whereabouts and heard that he was called to the Imperial Palace and did not come back for two days.Upon hearing that, he just nodded and proceeded to watch their training. He had also pointed out mistakes of some knights and advised them to do something to improve themselves. He left the Marshall Unit during the sunset. Before he could leave the unit, he saw the Imperial Eagle flapping towards him. So he raised his hand to be landed by the eagle. He then took the letter that was on its feet.“This is Lavenorth, please come to see Her Majesty. She is not feeling well today.”After reading the letter, he immediately commanded his Vice General, Leon, to take care of everything before getting a stallion to go to the Imperi
Darya and Desmonde are both preparing themselves for their trip. Darya was being groomed by the maids while Desmonde was being assisted by the butlers. They were only wearing simple garments as the maids packed extra clothes and many kinds of food. When it was the time for Theobarlt to pick her up, as soon as their eyes met upon opening the door, they burst out laughing at each other’s dark circles under their eyes.“You look like an old man who’s stressed out for not winning a chess competition.” Darya laughed.Desmonde could not retaliate and just shook his head. He walked closer to her to wrap his arm around her waist.“But at least, this old man could not be beaten in swordsmanship.”Darya chuckled as they started walking to leave. “You are not old by the way. You are twenty five.”“Who said that I am an old man?”“Me,” Darya chuckled. “It is just because you bawled your eyes out last night that you look like an old man for a second.”He snickered, “Said by the one who had bigger
Duke Esteban arrived at the Imperial Palace just before the Emperor departed. When he received the Imperial letter about his summon, he immediately went to the Imperial palace. Seeing the few carriages lined up near the main gate, he got worried that it was so few that the Emperor might not be comfortable with her travel. However, as soon as he saw General Theobarlt standing beside her, not wearing a uniform, he sighed in relief thinking that he might be coming with her.He took off his carriage and immediately went out to greet the Emperor who’s waiting for his arrival. He took Darya’s hand and kissed the back of her palm. He then leaned close to kiss her lips. He was not intending to kiss her openly but he missed her so badly that he could not help but do it abruptly. The last time he saw her was when Lorenzo got betrothed to her and now that he saw her again, she is leaving for a few days.Meanwhile, Darya had an indifferent look when Duke Esteban did that. Although it was to be ex
A day passed since Emperor Darya left the Imperial Palace to Duke Esteban’s hands. Both Lorenzo and Reginald heard about this and only Reginald was able to face Duke Esteban first, in disguise of greeting the first consort.That time, Duke Esteban had just taken a meal for lunch when Reginald arrived at the Emperor’s office and greeted him. After greeting him, Reginald asked if he could help with the workload and of course, Duke Esteban would decline.“Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, Casmiri. However, the Emperor specifically lent me this responsibility alone.”Duke Esteban knows that Reginald is head over heels when it comes to drawing the Emperor’s attention and he must not let him take any workload on such important matters, especially that he is coming from an enemy kingdom. Who knows what Reginald is planning to do later if he found something he could use to his advantage? Darya specifically trusted him with the Empire so he must not disappoint her as well.Reginald sm
It took two days to arrive at the town of Alvellor. It was a town surrounded by massive trees and mountains, making it likely to become monsters’ nest. It was a dark forest before but people began to live there because of its high resources. There are rivers nearby and the massive trees can produce many different products. The town of Alvellor is the Empire’s greatest source of papers, wool, and furniture. Now that the town is almost wiped out by the monsters, they need a big renovation and rehabilitation of the area.After three years, the town was still in the state of rehabilitation and people could go back to their homes not until it was reported that there is an infectious disease that is caused by the monsters’ blood if the place would not be thoroughly sanitized. This is the reason why the place is under strict surveillance and people must not come as they please without proper implementation of safety precautions.When Emperor Darya arrived at the vicinity, she was immediately
Darya’s fate might be predicted according to her choice but it was an entirely different area. It was only about the love she was going to experience and not about how she had become an Emperor. There is no doubt that her future in this repeated timeline is unfixed and unwritten as the supposed fate had been crumbled since someone had turned the time back. Just like now, as soon as she was about to depart from Alvellor, she had received an unexpected news that shook her world.Since a carriage will take two days to arrive at the Imperial Palace, she had no choice but to take a personal horse along with General Theobarlt. They galloped their individual horses to the road and to any shortcuts just to come earlier in the Imperial Palace. The two days journey back to the Imperial Palace had become one day. It was dawn when she entered the Imperial Palace.Along her way, she saw a large unusual ship docked on the Hiague port causing horror to the town’s people. There were men scattered in
“The people named me as a son of god. They built a temple for me and the people keep coming to ask for their future. This way, I had become a well-known figure of the Huangyen Empire.”“But then… I gradually found out my real identity. I am a descendant of an apostle. The god named ‘Huno’ bestowed me with the power of a Herald because of the wish of his apostle’s descendant. Huno chose me. I am not a son of god. I am just a messenger to the apostles, not the people.”“I wanted to stop and travel around the world to find the apostles but the Empire reprimanded me for leaving the temple. I was heavily guarded. The eyes of the people become greedy, including my family. They made sure that I could not escape from the Empire, fearing that they would lose power. Until then… the Emperor personally asked me about his future and it was dreadful. I perceived that he will meet his death after three days. I do not want to talk about it but I had to and I should not lie when I speak. When I told t
Zale could not process everything that had been happening to him until now. First, he got married. Then he is treated to utmost care. No one is even letting him wear clothes on his own. They would ask him what he likes and when he told them that he likes books, after a few minutes, there are piles of different books delivered in his magnificent room.Until now, he could not get enough of his room. It was so spacious and well-decorated and designed. His bed is so big that he thinks it would accumulate five people. His bathroom was also big and wide. And when he stood on the balcony of his room, he could enjoy the view of the Imperial garden and the night sky.Back when he was living at the temple, he thought that he was living in luxury but now that he is living in an Imperial Palace of a foreign country, he began questioning if he is really a VIP figure in the Huangyen Empire.After being attended with butlers in the bathroom, he was then dressed. After that, the maids came inside his
