"It seems that my mother has troubled you a lot."
Tales looked determined and determined to ask about the identity of his mysterious mother.
Licia chuckled disdainfully.
"Troubled?" The charming officiant walked up to him with a scary look in his eyes. "More than that."
"She's a nightmare."
Nightmare? Tales couldn't help but be startled when he thought of Kessel the Fifth's indifference and disregard for him.
"It's time for you to leave, blood of the kingdom." Licia looked down at Tales coldly. "I have already seen you, your mission is completed."
Tales came to his senses, gritted his teeth and took a step forward.
"Seranjelana."
Hearing this name, Licia suddenly paused, and the colors in his eyes changed.
Tales took a deep breath and continued, "This is my mother's name. I don't know what this name means to you - but no matter who she is, I need to know!"
Licia lowered his head slightly and narrowed his eyes.
In an instant, Tales was surprised to find that all the Eternal Lamp indoors became brighter and brighter, illuminating the dark stone house extremely brightly.
The originally quiet and gentle flame inside the lamp even began to crackle and pop!
Is this--Divine Art?
He squeezed his left hand.
Licia looked at Tales's gray eyes, his brows getting tighter and tighter.
Finally, she waved her sleeves in disgust.
"You are really a continuation of that nightmare."
"Here's a word of advice: Don't ask about everything about your damn mother - I won't tell you anything."
Tales looked at Licia blankly.
But he still suppressed his displeasure and said hurriedly:
"But you told me! You told a son that his mother was a nightmare!"
Tales raised his head and looked into Licia's cold black eyes without any sign of weakness.
"I'm very surprised. Whose nightmare is she? Her father's?" Tales gritted his teeth and asked, "Or is it your nightmare?"
Licia's eyes suddenly burst into sharp light.
Not a description, but a real golden light!
It's so bright that Tales can't open his eyes!
Tales took a step back in shock, raised his left hand to block his eyes, and touched JC Dagger with his right hand.
Under that golden light, he felt very uncomfortable.
Is this the power from that person, the so-called Sunset Goddess?
"Be careful, mortal." Licia, whose eyes were shining brightly and could not even see his pupils and eyes clearly, looked majestic at this moment, but said extremely calmly:
"No one in this world understands your mother's abomination better than me."
Tales looked at her blankly.
"She is a cold, cruel, cunning, cunning, crazy and paranoid bitch about power and strength."
"Every move she makes has an ugly purpose that cannot be revealed."
"Remember my words - forget her completely, otherwise you will regret it one day."
Tales walked up and down several flights of stairs absentmindedly, following Jinnie on the road that Revival Palace didn't know which floor it was on.
He couldn't let go of what Licia said just now.
Cold, cruel, insidious and cunning?
Crazy paranoid about power and strength?
Who is his mother?
Tales feels more and more that his life experience is full of doubts.
Especially, everything about myself... is abnormal.
Tales gritted his teeth.
Jinnie looked at Tales and shook his head slightly.
"Don't take it to heart," Jinnie curled his lips indifferently, "Licia doesn't like you, it's normal - that woman has always been stubborn and can't let go of anything."
Tales raised his head curiously and heard the palace Female Official say plainly, "Before she became the officiant, she had a marriage contract with your father."
Tales was shocked when he heard this.
"Engagement contract?"
"Yeah... for many reasons, they couldn't get married."
Jinnie snorted disdainfully:
"Licia--The woman who couldn't live without a man ran to Sunset Temple in anger and served the goddess for the rest of her life."
"So she doesn't like me either - the king's lover."
The boy who had just heard a big gossip opened his mouth in surprise.
"But so what," at that moment, Jinnie returned to his capable and shrewd look. The first class of the palace, Female Official, gently raised the corner of his mouth. "Why do you need to let other eyes determine your destiny."
"Even if it's Gods's gaze."
At this time, Jinnie stopped in front of the door of another larger stone house and gently opened the door.
"We're here, it's still the same. You can go in alone." Looking at this stone house, Jinnie's original capable and confident expression disappeared, and she sighed in frustration.
"Only you can go in here." Female Official said quietly.
"I--we?" Tales wondered.
He finally realized that something was not right with Jinnie standing in front of this door.
But Jinnie once again pushed him into the stone house without any explanation.
Everstar City, West Gate.
"Wait a minute! Is that the Karabian Family family's motorcade ahead? Is Karabian Count myself here? Uncle? Is that you, uncle?"
A group of Knights holding the Single Wing Crow flag rushed from the city gate in the dust and caught up with a carriage escorted by more than a dozen Knights. The door was engraved with the coat of arms of two towers and a long sword.
Among the Single Wing Crow flag Knight, the leader was a male aristocrat in his thirties. He accelerated his horse and came to the carriage, looking at a majestic old aristocrat with gray temples stepping down.
"Deler? It's you, the dignified Kloma Family, the young and promising Earl of Wing Fortress, actually riding here?" the old nobleman said gently.
The young Earl of Wing Fortress, Deler·Kloma smiled, "It will take at least two days and two nights to get here from Wing Castle by carriage, and there is no time. I simply came here on horseback."
"On the way here, I met the convoys of the Bozdov Family and Rasia Family. They should arrive in a while - in this way, all the people from the west side of Thirteen Noble Families will be here."
"Uncle, long time no see... How are cousin Kohn and aunt, as well as Kasha and Qina doing?"
"Kohn has been unable to sit still since he came back from the battlefield... I arranged for him to work at Royal Capital to do Alert Officer's work first... Sigh." Karabian Count sighed deeply when he thought of the small report written by his old classmate.
"As for your aunt, she is still like that. She is worried about Kohn's marriage every day - but she makes the little devils at home so happy that she urges their mother to hold a dance every day in the name of helping her brother find a wife." The old nobleman said lightly.
"What?" The young Kloma was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "My aunt has always been like this. When I became an adult, she almost didn't bring half of you Wola Territory girls here."
Kloma then took a step forward and whispered, "So, that thing is true - King Noon's only son died in the Star Kingdom?"
Wola Territory Count, Turami·Karabian looked at his wife-nephew and sighed softly, "It seems to be true. I just met Earl Zemuto under the Yalend Family. I heard that Exeter's messenger has already set off on the road - and their army is gathering."
"The ones who are most anxious now should be Duke of the North himself and his family."
Kloma sighed, leaned forward, and said solemnly, "Will there be a fight?"
Karabian Count glanced at his wife and nephew and said slowly, "If there is no miracle, you should ask: What will the fight be like?"
"Start stocking up on food and prepare to recruit soldiers in the territory."
As he spoke, he stepped off the carriage, opened his hands, and hugged West City Vigilance Hall, Lobik·Dila, who was coming to greet him.
"Long time no see, old classmate!"
"Haha, you have gained so much weight!"
"This is Earl of Wing Fortress, who is also my wife's nephew. Deler·Kloma is one of the nineteen territorial vassals qualified to accept His Majesty General Decree."
"It turns out to be the legendary Kloma, the 'one-winged savior' in Thirteen Noble Families!"
"You must be the 'Horse-Slaying' Lobik·Dila who became famous in 'Fortress of Sorrow' twelve years ago?"
"Oh, that damn battle..."
Karabian was Lobik and Kloma. After the introduction and greetings, a melodious bell suddenly sounded in the distance.
"Boom!"
The sound of the bell was heavy and long, and could be heard far away.
Earl of Wing Fortress, Kloma, who don't come to Royal Capital often, frowned. "If I remember correctly, this seems to be Star Bell? What big thing happened?"
Lobik, who has been with Royal Capital for many years, nodded strangely. "Yes, Star Bell is ringing, there is something important to be announced in the district center of each major district. Generally speaking, it is the wedding of the royal family or important people... But there has been nothing recently..."
At this time.
"Boom!"
The long bell rang for the second time.
Lobik's expression changed. "The bell rings for the second time!"
He solemnly said, "This means that within a few hours, His Majesty will hold National Affairs Conference at Hall of Stars in the Revival Palace."
"National Affairs Conference? National Affairs Conference, which claims to be open to all citizens, regardless of nobles or civilians?" Kloma looked pale. "But Exeter delegation was assassinated The news is still a secret and only circulates among the nobles. Star Kingdom High Council is also going to be held tonight, isn't it? Why is National Affairs Conference being held at this time?"
"Yes, National Affairs Conference's matters will be announced to the entire Star Gathering Plaza and the entire Star Kingdom - do you remember Desert War's declaration of war?" Director Lobik thought hard.
Deler·Kloma Count looked at the citizens of Royal Capital who were exchanging words with each other excitedly and hurried to Star Gathering Plaza, with ugly expressions on their faces. "His Majesty will never make the news public and declare war on Exeter in advance, right?"
"Who knows," Karabian Count's face darkened. "That's 'Iron Fist King'."
"It's not like he's never done anything like this before."
Thank you "Glory of the Iris Pattern" for the reward--Hey, why is it you again?
