Chapter 165
While Alex was overseeing the things in the prison showing the true meaning of benevolence.
The soldiers who had been designated to keep a watch on the walls were suddenly startled by seeing an unwanted visitor coming toward them.
The soldiers guarding the place frowned and their facial expressions changed suddenly.
One of the soldiers quickly screamed to notify General Mordek while they prepared for the fight and took their position.
Far away from the City wall, under the blue sky and shining rays of the sun, numerous elongated silver flags glistened.
The flags fluttered in the breeze with overwhelming Majesty and looked like a silverfish that was dancing crazily.
The ground started to shake violently and the earth started to rumble as numerous cavaliers appeared and the grooves of the horse hit the ground in a rhythmic motion.
The silver armoured cavalry charged towards the city wall like a tidal wave.
From what the soldiers could see there were around 1000 soldiers and around four hundred cavalrymen were maintaining the front of the formation guarding a carriage in the middle.
They were well trained to perfection and their marching was organised to perfection. It looked as if these thousand soldiers could take on five times the number of enemies alone.
The soldiers started to sweat as the city walls had already been broken which was quite disadvantageous from a defensive point of view..
Moreover, these people were able to pass through the borders and reach the capital without any news that horrified them.
Under the command of their superior, the archers drew their bows pointing at the oncoming waves of cavalry.
They were in confusion wondering what to do when a loud shout reached their ears.
“Fools!!”
“Drop your weapons!”
“Don’t attack them. Line up towards the front and salute them.”
Mordek appeared on the scene and screamed at the top of his lungs. His chest rose and fell as he started to curse.
“The flag belongs to the Empire of Kinley and they are the soldiers of Kinley. Any disrespect towards them means challenging the Empire’s authority in itself.”
Mordek’s works snapped them out of their thoughts and they dropped their weapons immediately with a frightened look.
Their hands trembled thinking about the scenario that would have happened if they had drawn their bows.
Mordek wiped off the sweat from his forehead and appeared at the front.
The cavalry stopped their marching and a man walked out from the group.
“Fear not, we are here not for war.”
“I am Josh, The Envoy sent by the Empire of Kinley.”
“I have brought the decree of the Empire,” Josh shouted
Mordek followed by the soldiers bowed their heads giving them a salute.
“Sir Josh, I am General Mordek. Nice to meet you.”
“Sir Josh, I will take you to the King. Please follow me.” Mordek spoke with respect.
Josh nodded and asked the people to follow him.
Mordek, who was going to lead them, looked back with a surprised expression.
A huge carriage was being pulled by five horses side by side, slowly pulled up and separated from the crowd. The carriage was giant and was as long as ten metres long and was supported by huge wooden wheels.
The carriage was decorated beautifully and various floral patterns were engraved on it giving it a girlish look. What was more surprising was the shiny armoured knight whose strength was quite fearsome.
The legendary rank guardian.
Mordek’s breathing stopped for a moment seeing it, and if his guess was correct then surely a member of upper-class society would present in it.
But the problem was that he didn’t know whether it was an enemy or friend which horrified him.
Just one wrong step and everything might come to an end.
Mordek didn’t stare too long or his head might be hanged somewhere and resume his march towards Amidon.
…
Inside the Royal Castle.
Alex’s mind was running in full gear as soon as he got the message that Envoys of the Empire had reached Amidon.
It would be okay if there was a small group that came here but what came here was an army which made him fear that they may come here and ask him to go back.
Alex even wondered whether it was the person who pulled the string from behind that made a move.
Alex, accompanied by his three wives stood before huge castle doors welcoming the Envoy.
Josh jumped from the horse and hadn’t even taken a step forward when his gaze fell on the man who was leading three women.
He knew very well about the three but seeing the boy he was stunned.
With an awkward expression, he spoke in a respectable tone.
“Greetings to Young Prince…Cough.Cough..”
“Greetings to the King of Nevan.”
Alex looked at the man who was feeling quite awkward while greeting him and thought that he looked like a good man.
“Sir Josh, Welcome to Amidon.”
“Although we still haven’t settled down here, we will try our best to attend to you.”
“May our hospitality be as per your liking,” Alex spoke while shaking my hand with Josh.
Josh reciprocated Alex’s greeting and gave a gentle nod to Catherine and Riya but frowned on seeing Christina.
“Lady Christina if we knew about your situation, I would make sure to bring a healer to treat you.”
“Thanks for your concern, Sir Josh, “Christina spoke in a polite tone.
Alex exchanged a few pleasantries and looked at the huge carriage stopping before the gates while wondering which nuisance was going to come out of it.
The door of the carriage opened.
The next moment, a weak and soft voice sounded which was filled with sweetness” Big Brother Alex!”
Alex looked at the petite figure of a girl who seemed to be a little younger than him and had golden hair with golden eyes and her facial features were quite similar to him.
While Alex was shocked to see her, Riya’s eyes brightened for some reason and she couldn’t help but speak in a soft tone.
“Princess Alice!”
“Big Sis Riya, how are you?” Alice spoke and hopped into Riya’s embrace leaving Alex’s jaw dropped on the ground.
‘What the hell is going on here?’
‘Someone please kindly tell me otherwise my brain is going to be short-circuited.’
