After they had made sure that everyone had managed to heal the injured, they had soldiers escort the villagers back to their respective villages, with a message to make sure that the others would know what had happened.“I would expect for this not to happen again, Count Lee,” Karilaya had this stone-cold look on her face, glaring at the man who was the sole reason why she was a force to partake in the battle.Count Lee swallowed hard, feeling that intense look on him. “Apologies, my lady. We were caught unaware of their tricks.” He bows his head even further while kneeling down. Feeling ashamed at the failure that they faced a while ago.“What did you expect after years of raiding,” Soraya ended up scolding the man, unable to hold her tongue since everyone knew they had it coming.“Now that they are on to us. It will only be a matter of time before they find the villages,” Kirei adde

“Giro! We’re going to get in trouble again,” Metikulo whispered. He quickly grabbed hold of his brothers who were now trying to crawl out of the bushes.They were all hiding near a cliff, watching the imperial caravan pass by on their guarded road. It had always been a little game to them, just looking from afar but after experiencing a raid for the first time. The three seemed to have found a new kind of entertainment. One that manages to wake their blood in thrill and excitement.“Not if ma, doesn’t find out,” Ceciro chuckled as they were dragging their youngest brother.The envy and praise of several of their friends prove very addictive to the three boys, along with the rush of battle, but what truly hooked them was the fact that they did not have to hold back when they fought against the knights. It was the first time that they had to use all their strength just so they could fend off several imper

Alexander was certain that it was the middle of the night, and yet he could not shake off his agitation. His thoughts were now being clouded as rage was once again starting to take over his mind. A knock on the carriage door manages to remove those thoughts from him.“Your Majesty,” the man whispered.“What of it?” He took in a deep breath, holding on to his patience.“We’ve finished patrolling and have done what you’ve asked,” the soldier states.That woke his senses, making his blood surge. “And?” he was not starting to uncontrollably stomp his feet on the floor.“It seems they’re only here for those things, your majesty,” the soldier states.“Is that so.” That news irritated him.But it still managed to calm his nerves. Knowing that this whole travel was not going to be a waste.“What would you

“So you think I’m the weakest.” Metikulo suddenly stopped struggling, he was now breathing heavily, feeling an uncontrollable fire blaze inside of him upon hearing those words. Alexander’s grin slowly disappeared. When he felt the sudden surge of energy that appeared within the boy that he was holding. In a matter of moments, he was blown away by the said child. The boy did it without even invoking a spell or moving a muscle. He let out a low grunt, wincing when he felt the sting of the attack. His smug face completely faded when he saw what the three boys had now turned into. His eyes suddenly were filled with a sense of anxiety and excitement upon gazing at the familiar form the three had taken. “Well, well. Seems like I also need to take this seriously,” He says to himself, ripping the remaining clothing that was hanging on his shoulder in preparation for their next round. Giro, Cicero, and Metikulo had now broken their mother’s seal. Having re

“I was starting to think that you wouldn’t show up,” Alexander was unable to hide the joy in his face.His smile became sweeter, giving out that longing look. Once again after so long, he was able to gaze at his beloved lady. His legs moved on their own, walking towards the woman without thinking of the dangers that may come his way.“That’s as far as you’ll go, draconian.” Kaya’s quickly raised her spear, pointing it straight at the man’s neck. Stopping him before he was even able to get close to her.Alexander felt the cold, searing graze of the magical weapon on his skin. It merely touched him yet it was still able to cut through his skin. But that did not remove the wide smile on his. Relentless, even though the woman was outright hostile towards him.“Now, now, my lady. Let’s not be hasty here. I’ve come bearing a proposition for you.” He quickly mov
