Chapter 211: In Cahoots...
I was about to ensconed my self, when Flamear emerged out of nowhere.
"What impeded your arrival for so long?"
I asked as I scanned his physique trying to look for any laceration on his skin, but when I didn’t see anything. I meet his eyes directly waiting for his response.
"There are a myriad of monstrosities congregate are disperesed haphzardly there."
He said and I nodded to his response as.
"What do you mean?"
Zerth asked as he looked perplexed at what Flamear said.
"Shouldn’t they be gone since the empire was now illuminated by the sun’s light?"
Zerth said as he looked at me as if he was waiting for me to replied to his question towards Flamear.
"There are still some monstrosities that were immuned towards the light, especially when they feel like they had a prey in that specific place and it was unguarder."
I said as I clarified some thing to him.
"Does it mean that people are still unsafe?"
"Precisely."
I said as I cofirmed what he said.
"That’s why we need to devise away to make the people safe first before, we orchestrate another plan against them."
I let a loose a weary expiration as I looked at them with tiredness in my eyes.
Ever since I woke up awhile I go, I never had a rest and started to talk to them and apprise them on what danger we were facing right now.
There are plenty things we need contemplate before doing any move.
Any wrong move we will make will endanger people, that’s why we need to evacuate them to the safety areas to avoid any casualties like what happened in the past.
"Zerth, How was the knights doing in our duchy?"
I asked as I was looking at the map in front of me again, as my mind can’t be ease as the time was ticking and every seconds we waste is like we are wasting our own life time.
"Some of them are fine, some are gone, and some were suffering from injuries while they were fighting the monsters that keeps on lurking to the people."
Zerth said as he met my eye directly, and I nodded to acknowledged what he said.
I looked again at them and saw that the emperor was just listening to us or may be he was orhcestrating another plan or any back plan.
"What about the palace knights, Your Highness?"
I asked as I looked at him and it seems like his cue as he meet my gaze and sighed.
"The palace knights aren’t doing good."
He said which made me and Hellion frowned at what he replied.
"What do you mean?"
I asked as I looked at everyone who seems to be quiet to when the emperor answered.
"Ever since at the hunting and you were unconscious, the palace has been in constant attacked by monsters. The knights most of them were injured and the royal physicians can’t handled them all."
It was Hernand who answered me as he looked at me apologetically.
"The knights in our empire has been disperesed in different places as the monsters keeps on launching at the same time in different are like it was plan to lure you out."
Father answered as he looked at me with sadness in his eyes.
"We kept on holding them up to this moment, but there were many casualties and deaths, some of our magicians also were taken as a hostage by Tenebrisay who keeps on attacking places to places to look for their emperor."
Jarnus said and when I looked at him, he also looks the same as the others in the room.
They all looked like hadn’t have enough sleep that below of their eyes have some black because of their lack of sleep.
"How about the emperor?"
I asked pertraining to the emperor of Tenebrisayan as I was worried that he might escape, because unlike Eiranish, I forgot to double the lock on his cell as it was father who brought him there.
"Sullaivan was still there, I checked on him this morning before I went straight here." Erkin said as he look at my while giving me those assuring words.
"What about yours knights Lord Rigas? Lord Dorkinya? Lord Roys?, Lord Nuchi?"
I asked the other and they all had the same answers that made me sighed.
How far did Cataina went when I was unconscious?
I looked at the balcony and saw that it was already afternoon, and I don’t feel good about it.
I could hear the sounds of the monsters who were just nearby and was wating for their next pray to come out.
And some were wating for the night to swallow the sun.
----------------------
"Hernand."
I said as he was still here in the Klartis along with the other people who were here in this afternoon as they all decided that it was dangerous to travel.
"What was it, Your Highness?"
He asked as he looked tired.
"Who was now looking at the Royal infirmary?"
I asked as I looked at him, I had a bad feeling that some people might had already penetrated the palace, or someone betrayed the empire already.
"It was one of my pupil, Sherama."
He said as he looked confused as to why asked him this question.
"Is she the only one who was looking there?"
I asked as I looked at him as he still looked buffled at my words.
"She was with others, but she was the one who mostly take good care of the patients and on healing them whenever I was out helping people from outside." He replied and I raised my brows at what he said.
"Can you come with me?"
I said as Hellion wasn’t with me at the moment as I told him to get some sleep, just like the others as we cannot go to a war against our enemies without sleeping.
"To where Your Highness?"
He asked, but I didn’t replied instead, I teleported us to infirmary and I see many people who seems to busy with things and some are with their family, but no one notice us.
"Hellion, will surely kill me."
Hernand whispered as I pulled him towards to the door, where I remembered he said was where he made his medicine to heal people.
He was about to open the door when I stopped him.
"Are you sure no one will noticed what you did?"
Acantha and Hernand looked at each other when they heard someone are talking inside the room.
"Yes, I did what you told me to do."
The woman answered and Acantha saw Hernand’s eyes widened as he seems to know who it was.
"But what if he finds out?"
The woman asked nervously to someone she was talking with.
"That man? He won’t find out, after all he was too busy helping outside to pay attention in here."
The man said as he even chuckled at what he said.
"But I don’t want to betray my empire."
The woman said as she sobbed.
"You already betrayed your empire, and besides you were not even from Luminasiarian, so stop wailing like you didn’t want to help our own empire."
The man said and it seems like the woman stopped from sobbing.
"You are right, after all Luminsiarian killed my parents when they attacked the Tenebrisaya."
She said and I saw Hernand clenching his hand into fist and was trying his urged to open the door and confront her.
"That’s right, you should avenge your parents as I will avenged what happened to me and my family because of that woman."
He said angrily.
I didn’t wait for the woman to answer as I opened the door and I used my power to fettered them.
The man was wearing cloak as he was cursing at the surprised attack that I did.
"You stupid banshee!"
The man cursed as he was struggling to free himself from being fettered.
"You can try, but you can’t undo or removed them."
I said as I walked towards him as his voice seems to be familiar to me.
Where did I heard that voice again?
When I was in front of him, I took off his cloak and glared at him.
"So, it was really you?"
I said as I looked at him with a dull face.
Didn’t I made this man poor?
How come he can come here and try to threaten someone?
Or should I say to command someone.
"You should die you, viper! You took my status and wealth, do you think, I will just let you be?"
He said as his eyes are burning in anger towards me.
"I took everything from you as you were rotten to the core like your whole family."
I said to Virgel Krazer who looks older than he was now.
"M-master..."
I looked at the woman who looks dumbfunded when she saw Hernand behind me and her eyes widened so big in shock.
"What did you do Sherama?"
Acantha heard Hernand asked his pupil as his hand was still clenching in anger.
"Hahaha, You are fool for trusting this banshee here!"
Virgel said as he was laughing at Hernand and before he could even speak another word a fist meet his mouth and-
