"This is impossible."
The former king of Swift removed the collar of one of the empress's concubines. He slowly walked back. Who had given the order to them to kidnap the empress? Although Fred hated the empress very much, he was not a coward to do that.
"I have to go to the Mist Region now."
Fred ran to his room. He then straightened the clothes—a small sword in hand. There are carvings of two gold-plated horses.
It happened twenty years ago—the time when Fred was eight years old.
"Sebastian, why does your father always carry that sword?" Fred asked his teacher. Sebastian then smiled and answered the question.
"Because that little sword is the symbol of the Swift Kingdom. Only a king can have it. One day this sword will become a prince's sword. Whatever happens the prince must take good care of it."
"Well. I will always look after and take care of him."
Fred and Sebastian looked at each other and laughed happily.
"I never used to call you teacher. I should have done it."
The small sword was then tucked into his trouser pocket. Fred walked out. The concubines just stared at him. None of the concubines dared to ask. Fred immediately left the palace. On the way to the Mist region. Fred was trying to figure out who would dare to kidnap the empress bandit's leader long as he was the bandits' leader. Only Fred and his friend were of royal descent. Emmanuel visited one of the soldiers who served as the royal mail carrier.
"Please deliver this letter to the Southern Kingdom as soon as possible."
The soldier nodded his head after getting the order. The soldier immediately departed for the Southern kingdom.
Somewhere else. The Lion crown prince has now arrived at the borders of the Northern Kingdom. The white eagle's voice sounded obvious. The crown prince then raised his head. White eagles circled in the air around him. After a while of surrounding then the white eagle stopped at the tip of the index finger of the crown prince's right hand. A smile graced his face.
"Long time no see friend."
The white eagle nodded its head and spread its wings wide. It was as if he understood the meaning of the crown prince's words. A roll of paper is tied to the leg of a white eagle. The crown prince then turned his gaze to the scroll of paper. The white eagle then lifted its leg. He wanted the crown prince immediately to take the letter. Slowly the crown prince released the rope that tied the bird's leg. He then opened the letter. The letter was written in very concise language but explained the situation clearly. The contents of the letter read.
/Hurry up to the Mist region! The empress of the Northern kingdom is now in danger. A group of robbers has kidnapped the woman you love. It looks like the head of the robbers is one of the consorts of the empress, who is the king of the Swift kingdom named Fred. -
The crown prince then squeezed the letter. Close your eyes and take a deep breath. He then opened his eyes and pulled the reins of the horse, and walked back. The horse's speed is now increased in the crown prince's heart. There is no more time to linger. Soon should probably get there.
Karol is training his troops. He wanted to bring troops in large numbers. Emmanuel came to the warrior training ground. He was shot in a neat line, under Karol's orders. Soldiers seem to be training hard. Emmanuel then stood beside Karol.
"I have already sent an official letter to the Southern kingdom."
"Good then. We will be leaving for the Mist region tomorrow with a few troops of soldiers."
Emmanuel then looked at the soldier in front of him after Karol spoke. The number of troops he saw now numbered around a thousand. Emmanuel had an uncomfortable feeling. He had a hunch that Karol would take them.
"How many troops will be coming with us?"
"Just a few soldiers. Those in front of you will come with me."
"There is no way you will bring a thousand troops there."
"Right. You know what the Mist region is called. The Empress is now in danger."
Emmanuel covered his eyes with one of his palms. He knew that now the empress was in danger. But if you have to bring a thousand troops. Isn't this the same as we are going to war against one kingdom? Moments later, Emmanuel then coughed a little.
"The number of these troops is very large. They will surely be surprised if they find out later because they are afraid and feel their lives are in danger they could have killed the empress."
Karol held the tip of his chin. Emmanuel's words were also accurate. A person can do dangerous things if they feel they are in a state of urgency.
"Alright I'll only bring a hundred troops."
"That's still too much. Twenty troops is enough. We will do it in secret."
"What if their members number a lot?"
"Aren't you a leader of the army of the Northern kingdom? The term tyrant isn't just a figurative name, right?"
Karol finally realised that his whole life had been on the battlefield. Any number of enemies does not affect it. Suppose he was swinging a sword. Only kill or be killed was in his mind. For him, blood is flowing water. The body that was hit by scratches while on the battlefield was not felt. The stench of victims who died in battle is even commonplace.
"Yes, you are right. Even though you have never been on the battlefield, it was I who learned a valuable lesson from you."
Emmanuel laughed out loud, then looked at Karol's face full of mystery. Karol was stunned for a moment when he found out. It wasn't long before Karol smiled. For a moment, he thought Emmanuel was a very ruthless person. Karol then realised that it was just an illusion. Emmanuel was just a slave with no peerage and tragic life. Even though life is suffering, it is different from him. While on the side of Emmanuel's heart. He had experienced a very dark life. Both his parents were killed, and he saw him hiding in the basement. The blood of his parents, who were stabbed with swords by the rebels, flowed around him. An eight-year-old child must witness the death of both his parents and his brother. After they were all killed, the palace was burned as if it were an accident. Emmanuel went into hiding with his cousin, who is also the prime minister of the kingdom. The two people managed to survive and left the area, and became slaves. Ten years later, Emmanuel met a woman. She is a beautiful noblewoman. The woman then took Emmanuel to his palace and made him a concubine. His cousin is now the founder of an entertainer for men. Emmanuel and his cousin met several times. They also secretly gathered a select few from the place of their birth.
