Chapter 236: Lonyth's Aftermath

Lonyth

Duke Moller was shaking in anger as he threw his glass of wine against the wall. He let out a few curses before he poured himself another glass of the beverage.

"You must come up with another plan," a woman's voice interrupted the silence inside the room. This was the same woman wearing a hood that the Duke had been talking to.

"What plan? What else do you want me to do!? The Prince died and the King"

"The King needs to die."

"He disappeared! Where do you want me to find him!?"

"Her Blessedness will"

"Oh please! Do you think I fear her now? The Duke is alive! Whatever happened in that plaza whatever it was means that he has a way to fight against the darkness! He how could you lot defeat him! You and your people promised me that you would be able to do something about him. You told me" the Duke finished his wine, his breathing sparse as he tried to calm himself.

Not being able to have a good night's sleep for a few days was already taking a toll, not just on his health, but also on his mental strength. He is on the verge of breaking down.

And he can only blame Duke Lucas Rothley!

"You assured me that it would work," he uttered. These people told him that everything would be fine. That they would be able to take care of the Duke of Wugari and bring down Lonyth. They promised him that he would soon rule this place!

All of the promises vanished when Lucas prevented the explosive from harming anyone else aside from the prince who was standing right on top of it!

The man saved the humans that were gathering in the plaza. He even managed to make himself a hero in the process!

"Her Blessedness will surely hear about this," the woman said before she disappeared. Seeing her gone, he let out a sigh of relief as he sat on his chair. Fear was starting to overpower every inch of his being.

"Your Grace!" He looked at the door just as his assistant barged in. "We have a problem."

"What is it?"

"The King of Wugari sent his people to Siluria to help out. They are no longer letting any officials leave. There There"

"Speak!" Duke Moller yelled. "What is it!?"

"There is a contract written and signed by the previous King of Lonyth stating that in a state of emergency, the King of Wugari can easily take over everything until peace can be achieved."

Duke Moller's body felt cold. He was certain that he closed all of the windows inside his office, yet for some unknown reason, he had started to feel cold.

"Tell everyone to leave. We are leaving for the South!" Duke Moller said.

"Yes, Your Grace. Ah what about the young master?"

"Isn't he already on his way to Lucas?" Duke Moller asked.

"Yes."

"Then, we cannot do anything about him anymore. Once we reach the South, I can just marry another woman and have her give birth to another son! Take the essentials. We have no time to spare!"

"Yes, Your Grace!"

Siluria, Capital of Lonyth

The King's Room, Main Palace

On the large King size bed was the body of none other than the King of Lonyth, who was still unconscious from the curse. Despite this, the King was dressed in a white sleeping gown. His cheeks, although a bit pale, were already looking better than it was the other day.

"He is going to live," a man with long black hair that reached almost to his knees spoke. "Is there a need for you to come here despite your current state?"

"I know he is going to live," Lucas replied. He was standing next to the man, wrapped in a large robe that covered every inch of his body. "He must live or I will drag his soul out of the underworld and burn it."

"It seems that your cruelty has not changed. Not even a bit."

"Is there any reason for it to change?" Lucas rebutted.

"I heard about what happened."

"Those were mere rumors."

"You know that darkness could kill you."

"I can handle this much," Lucas walked towards the window.

"I did not see you as someone who would save thousands of people." The man followed. "Why did you do that?"

"Do I need to explain myself to you?"

"Ah" the man chuckled, his handsome countenance becoming obvious as they approached the light that seeped from the window. "How annoying."

Lucas said nothing. So, the man continued. "I heard there was a woman."

"That is none of your business."

"I heard you saved her time and time again."

Lucas looked at him.

"You have killed the others," the man said. "The fact that this woman is still alive must mean she is someone important."

"Important or not, I do not see any reason why you would ask me about it. My affairs do not concern you at all."

"I was simply asking questions. Life has been a bit of a bore over the past few hundred years. Guarding the gates can be very tedious and bland."

"Then asked me to end your life. I would do it in a heartbeat," Lucas answered.

"My. You speak as if we have not known each other for centuries."

Lucas said nothing this time.

"I heard that the Seven Families are trying to create some chaos. Is it that time again?"

Lucas nodded in response.

"How troublesome."

"Let me deal with them," Lucas said.

"How? You hated being away from the North."

"I can deal with them even when I'm staying in the North."

"Very well. I will wait for some promising news."

Lucas nodded and for a few seconds, the man said nothing.

"She would be disappointed to know that you have replaced her after only a thousand years," the man chuckled. "Do not fret. I am keeping this a secret. No one else will know."

With that, the man disappeared from the room. Not long after, Lucas removed his hood, showing a face full of dark veins. He stared at the King before he vanished as if he was never there in the first place.
