Age of Heroes (Age of Heroes Chronicles)

Chapter 182: The march has begun (1)

ARRANDY, ACRO

'Escort him' Arial said to his officers as he looks at the back of that Eastian person

He gestures to the officers to give Liao Bao a horse. Arial guards quickly hand him their horse.  Arial look at Liao Boa and the man understand Arial. Arial wanted Liao Bao to follow him

'Follow me to the castle.' Arial ordered

'Yes, milord' Liao Bao says and he mount the horse. Liao Bao seems to have noticed the tense atmosphere, and find it in his best interest to obey.

This man, Liao Bao is of Eastian descent. Which means he come from Vern. His story has some credibility. Arial is thinking about a lot of things right now

Arianna letters. This never...happen before in his previous life. Why now? That is the question he is asking himself. Why now of all times?

What happen here? What happen here? He asks himself these question countless time, almost beating his own head out of frustration, not understanding what is happening right now.

Doubt fester inside his heart. Is this true? Thousands of questions are in his head right now. Is there something he didn't take into account?

He has been taking it easy because he believes the Invasion is still two years away.

Arianna is supposed to die two years from now. That is how it supposed to be. That is history. That is the impetus and the fire that spark the war.

'Letter from Arianna' Arial muttered under his breath, his eyes unfocused as he tries to think of his past memories.

In his timeline, Arianna were assassinated just as she was pregnant which enraged Azrael and started the Great War.

But here is something different. Very different. And he doesn't know if that is a good thing or not. Good news is: Arianna is alive and well.

Bad news, it seems the Demon King has known about her kidnappings and begun moving. Now, Arial could see more and knows more.

This is the beginning of the war. This is how it started. The only different thing was that at the time, he was a normal peasant son.

Liao Bao might also play a part in his previous lives. Only at that time, he probably would not have encountered Arial since there is no reason for him to meet him

He might send the letter to the Demon King and it was that letter that started the war.

Or maybe, he did not manage to send the letter and Arianna got assassinated in the imperial palace and when the Demon King knows about it, he went into a rampage.

Whatever the case, a lot of things had changed from his previous life.

'This is troublesome. But also an opportunity for me to prevent this war. Now that I know the story' Arial thought to himself.

Oliver report about the movement of the Dark Lands enters his head again.

What if King Azrael believes his betrothed is murdered? Won't he make the same decision? Won't he march to Human Continent?

Arial doesn't know much about him but in his timeline he is quite the cruel conqueror.

'Hmm' before he could ponder any longer, the feeling of Helia grabbing his hips jolts him back to his reality.

Helia rides behind him as she grabbed his waist tightly blushing on her cheek.  Firebringer galloped hard and fast, the leather rein which he just replaces last week is working perfectly.

His hand holds the reins tightly. This is the famous red steed of Arial the Dragon. Every time he rides fast Arial will gently rub his neck and he would understand that Arial want to slow down.

But right now Arial want to return to his castle as fast as possible and discuss what this new revelation might offer to his plan.

'There is a need to change some of my plans' Arial thought to himself.

He shifted his weight to his outside hip and dug his heel into his right side, he picked up the lead in perfect rhythm, tucking his head in and bounding towards the road.

Firebringer speed is like always is terrifying. It is almost like Firebringer sensed his unease and speedily he galloped to the castle.

This must be discussed at the castle, free from prying eyes. There is too much people, too many eyes and ears in the middle of the street and many know the name of Arianna the famed beauty that lives in the Dark Lands.

After a while they arrived at the castle. Arial quickly dismount his horse and walk towards the castle. Liao Bao follows him from behind not missing a step.

Helia was confused with this Arial she saw. The Arial she always knew was always calm and collected.

But from the moment Arial heard the name Arianna, he had become anxious and restless so unlike himself.

Arial did not know how alarmed his friend and fianc was when he shows such a side to them

And at this time, he is too engrossed in his own mind to care about them

They reached a spiral staircase. Arial walked swiftly, impatient and dazed with this new information, but his steps are resolute.

Kyle walks behind him looking at Liao Bao with amazement. Kyle never sees an Eastian before or speaks with them unless he patrols the city port.

Eastian mostly live in Vern and nowhere else. Though someone said, there is a continent somewhere in the world where there is a lot of people like the Eastian race.

From what he heard the sailors said, the people of that continent worships thousands of gods.

Arial is still leading the group. Helia on the other hand is behind him, striking up conversation with Kyle, exchanging stories, probably.

On Arial mind right now is only Liao Bao and the news he brought him

'Escort him to my council' Arial ordered Kyle

Kyle nodded. And he gestured to Liao Bao to follow him maybe to give him a change of clothes. They immediately went away. Arial is rubbing his chin and Helia noticed this as she slowly approaches him.

Arial could see that Helia is worried about him. But he could not really explain this matter to Helia.

'Helia' he suddenly called her name

'Yes, dear.' Arial could not help but smile.

'Rest yourselves and clean yourselves. I have some matters to discuss with that man' She nodded but she could clearly see something in his expression.

Uncertainty. And that is something he rarely sees from him. She sighed and hold his hand and ask him

"Is everything alright?" Arial sighed

'Don't worry. Everything is fine' But he knew it wasn't. Something, something has gone wrong. Terribly wrong.

She rushed to Liao Bao, give her thanks, shake his hands, flash a smile and excuse herself. Like always, she is charming.

The title sound ominous doesnt it? Anyway, hope you like the story and leave some comments. See you all tomorrow and don't forget to vote.

I am tired you guys. I found out that there is a lot of misleading information on my review pages. These are the same people that harassed me back in the day. 

Anyway, no matter hwo many times I said it is not NTR and there is no NTR they keep smearing the story so I am done you guys.

I did not want to expand on the matter because it might reveals some of the plost in the future and that is why I reamin silent. But these people keep smeairng my books without even reading it

Read it until the end and then judge it for yourself. Read through the words and dont skip chapters so you woudl understand the motivations that underpinned the characters emotiosn and decison and then decide for yourself whether what they say was right or is it me who writes the story

I dont know how easy it was to destroy one story. Just by relying on their words, people believe in them instead of asking me.

I could not reply to every question in the review because I am writing.A nd then when I check it I was dissapointed.

I would see how the statistic for this month for this stories, and if not good maybe I would just scrap the book.

I have no inetetion of writing something that would stress me out. So, yes, I think I am giving up. So, yay, go celebrate yourself and be proud of yourself for your hurtful words.

I write so I know that there is power in words. And trust me, your words have pierced my heart and made it bleed with pain.

Though, I think I woudl wait until the end of the month and see how it goes and whether my mood woudl improve by then. because right now, I am incensed

I have no words to say right now...so just hope you enjoy the story.
