Rukle smirked. "Smart kid. That's why your mother has gone on a long expedition to other kingdoms,"
"To get allies!!!" Eru exclaimed.
"Yes, we are badly in need of allies, your mother's home kingdom is on our side but I'm not sure how long. As for Lafta, Lijin is already gone ballistic knowing that I'm keeping Deric alive. He will definitely won't accept our peace talks. As for the demons... they have already started infiltration many other kingdoms," Rukle sighed.
Eru sat up straight and peered into his father's worried eyes. "Isn't it risky to send mother alone?"
"It is. But she was willing to give it a chance to avoid war. Now our situation has progressed to a stage that war is inevitable." Rukle gently patted his back and let him sit straight on the sofa. "You don't have to worry so much. Mom and dad will take care of everything for you."
