Michael panted as he burned Orcs alive. Anderson coughed up blood, panting. Samuel had a staff in his left hand, while sword in his right. He was trying hard, but exhaustion was catching up to him.
Anderson looked around and gritted his teeth. Soldiers were exhausted.
“Look from above Michael, how many are there?”; Anderson ordered, as he got up. His left arm being broken did not help with his magic exhaustion. Michael nodded at his father’s command.
“PHOENIX, CARRY ME!!”; Michael shouted. A blazing red phoenix came down. Michael mounted it and flew above. His eyes widened seeing the sheer numbers of the orcs. He could not see where their numbers end.
“HOW MUCH!!??”; Anderson shouted from the ground. Michael gulped and looked down at him and shook his head. Anderson’s face paled. He looked at his soldiers and his oldest son. All were giving their best, but were exhausted. It is only for a few more hours that they will keep going.
“AHHHHH”
Anderson looked as the orc captured a soldier. The orc held his head and ruptured it from the body with sheer force and started eating the soldier. Anderson gritted his teeth; as he saw another soldier killing orc soon enough.
He turned to Michael, who came down to support.
“Go.”; Anderson commanded. Michael looked at him in confusion.
“Inform Royal family about this. We cannot have them enter the fief.”; Anderson said. Michael’s eyes widened.
“No, NO I am not leaving you and brother here.”; Michael said.
“WE HAVE NO CHOICE!! BEFORE OUR LIVES WE HAVE TO SECURE FIEF!! YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN FLY. ONLY THEN WILL WE HAVE ANY CHANCE TO SURVIVE!!”; Anderson shouted.
Michael looked apprehensive but knew that his father was saying right. He nodded and took off. Anderson looked at his son flying away and turned to Samuel, who nodded at him. Anderson took his remaining of his mana and channel his power to create an illusion so massive that it would engulf an entire kingdom.

Ezekiel frowned and looked at the report. This is not okay. He thought he would have fun here but why did everything turned out like this. He needs to go back to the Empire.
“Pack up, Lewis. We are going back. We need to talk to the Pope.”; Ezekiel said. Lewis nodded and walked away without another word. Ezekiel frowned; he was looking forward to meeting the niece of Archduke. She seemed interesting to him. Sighing, he got up and walked out of the room to inform William about his departure.
Just as he was about to go, he heard a loud sound of crashing. He frowned and walked towards the main entrance. His eyes widened when he saw the second son of Archduke panting and covered in blood.
“King, I need to meet the King.”; Michael begged. Ezekiel raised his eyebrows in question. He saw butlers picking Michael up and supporting him to a room.
“CALL THE DOCTOR.”
Ezekiel heard a shout; he turned around and saw Augustus barking a command. The Crown Prince looked at him and bowed down his head before running to the room where Michael was led to. He frowned and looked around, seeing everyone running around. He saw a messenger going out; it must be to inform Archduchess. If that is so, won’t the niece come here too.
He smirked; seems like he will stay here for a day or two more.

Aahana looked at Rowan, who looked at her with a smirk. She raised her eyebrows in question. She has to go to the shop. It has been three days since she has started her job. She has been getting tips in gold coins from the customer which is great. But she cannot be late for her job just because some random dude stood in front of her. Maybe not random, taking in account that this man has seen her naked. But he does not remember it, so it does not matter.
“Do I know you?”; Aahana asked.
“No, I am Rowan.”; He introduced himself, giving her a hand to shake. She smiled and took his hand.
“Aahana.”; She said. Rowan smiled and looked at her in eyes.
‘Is she really the essence of Goddess?’; Rowan thought. Kez did tell him that she is the niece of Archduke but can his niece be the essence of the Goddess. He knows that Archduke told the King that he was with his niece and nephew when the power of the Goddess blasted off. Maybe the Goddess granted the girl some power. He looked at Aahana. He came out of his thoughts just to realise that she was no more in front of him. He looked around and saw her entering inside the shop.
He gritted his teeth. How dare a niece of Archduke insult the CROWN PRINCE? He is going to teach her a lesson that she won’t forgive in a lifetime. He was towards the shop. He was about to touch the handle when suddenly a lady in front of him and opened the door. She ignored him and entered the shop. He frowned; he could not see the lady’s face properly. All he could make out was that she was wearing a very expensive dress. He shook his head and was about to open the door, but he could not. He tried again, but the door won’t budge. THE DOOR WAS LOCKED!! WHAT THE HELL?
What the hell is going on? Rowan frowned. He sighed and walked away. He did not see the same lady looking at him from the window of the shop, smiling at his dejected self.
