Albert took a deep breath and sip his coffee with a dreaded expression after hearing the truth about the king Arthazia dissapereance.
King Arthazia wasn't just powerful; he was a symbol of stability and security throughout the Solomon Kingdom. His strong presence alone was enough to scare any potential threats, for no one dared to provoke someone of his caliber.
"We're a common enemies with the neighborhood countries, Axis Holy Empire, Majiid Empire, Darwin Kingdom, Mermaid States, The Obsidian Order, Qin Dynasty and not to mentions of their vassal states."
"Those big countries, somehow all of them had a deep grudges towards us, and for God sake we were being surrounded by them."
"Yes that's right"
"His majesty the one they afraid of, somehow missing without a trace. If this news spreads, the whole world will trying to attack us and our kingdom will cease to exist"
"We're already sent people's to search my husband whereabouts, the seals on our people's who connected with the books was still there"
"But.. There is something wrong, Igor told me, the seals started to weakens little by little everyday,"
"If I want to protect our kingdom I should find my husband, but I i didn't even know where I should to find him"
Rose sit still thingking on how to solved these heavy issues. Her mind raced as she considered the path forward. There were two primary concerns weighing heavily on her mind. First and foremost, she needed to find a way to bring about peace in the face of the ongoing wars. Additionally, locating her missing husband was also important because he would be the key to protect the kingdom.
"Sir Albert, do you know what is the Alcatraz Token? "
Albert pondered for a moment, his brow fursting a little as he wracked his brain for an answer.
"The Alcatraz Token, you say? Let me think..." His eyes drifted upward as he searched the depths of his knowledge.
"I've heard rumours about it. If my memory serves me right, it's a symbol of total Loyalty. Or so the rumors say, at least."
" I want to find the Alcatraz Token bearer, but I don't know where I could find them, here.. Do you perhaps saw anyone who had this token marks anywhere?"
Rose carefully extended her open palm, a token that bore an intricate engraving of mystique patterns show itself in front of albert.
Seeing this Albert's eyes widened, contemplating the significance of the symbol. He paused for a moment, his attention fixed on the token.
"Wait.... I believe I have encountered someone house bearing this kind of marking."
Albert's mind raced as he tried to recall more details. "It was in the outskirts of Elder City. I don't know the exact location, but the house had a large tower at its center, adorned with the same mysterious markings as this token."
Elder City, located in the northern part of the Solomon Kingdom, fell under the governance of Duke Vladimir. It stood as a significant region, playing a pivotal role in the kingdom's affairs. The mention of this city immediately brought to light the fact that their quest would inevitably lead them directly to Duke Vladimir himself.
"So we have no choices to go there?" Rose said with a contemplated expression.
"Yes.."
"Igor told me, there is 2 active front line we should hold, first is the Duke Barbatos, and second the Duke Vladimir."
As Queen Rose considered her options, the possibilities began to appear in her mind.
First, summoning soldiers from the Royal Guards seemed like a viable course of action, a means to bolster her efforts in the search for her missing husband.
Second, even more importantly, she could reaching out to Duke Vladimir, in exchange he could offer invaluable insights on how to find her husband.
With determination and a flicker of hope, she declared, "As a queen, I can summon soldiers from the Royal Guards and more to support the dukes. And perhaps, just perhaps, I should seek audience with Duke Vladimir. He might hold the key to finding my beloved."
Albert nodded in agreement "Summoning the Royal Guards could provide us with additional resources and manpower. As for reaching out to Duke Vladimir, it's a good move. He may have information or connections that could lead us to finding his majesty."
"Then it's settled. I shall summon the Royal Guards and arrange a meeting with Duke Vladimir. We'll leave no stone unturned to uncover the truth."
"Yes your right your majesty. Then, let's prepared to go into the north"
