The air was thick with tension as a heavy silence engulfed the room. The man trembled in fear as the Charles's gaze fixated on him, his eyes now a bloody red, exuding an intimidating aura. Charles's voice was laced with anger as he demanded,

"Where did that damned king take all the life cores?" Every person in the room involuntarily dropped to their knees, their bodies bowing automatically in response to the Charles's powerful presence.

The guy hardly speaks feeling overwhelmed by charles he can feel his desire to kill him it difficult for him to speak. Fear coursed through his veins, but he knew he had no choice but to answer the prince's question.

"He took them to the human kingdom" as he says that the prince now becomes more furious and confused the guy take this chance to kill the prince focusing on his life core but his foolish mistake became evident as John swiftly reacted driving his sword straight into the man's life core with a single strike

The guy screamed loudly before his lifeless body fell to the ground, stripped of colour and life. "Your highness we need to finds the queen and the second prince Ivan!" The headmaster says

Charles clenched his fists in anger as he ordered the other "Eric, track down Han, Aria, dispose of the body, and John, organize some servants to locate the queen and the second prince body," he directed. The prince then turned his gaze towards the headmaster.

"And you, headmaster, I expect you to keep everyone's lips sealed. We don't need anyone causing a commotion.

If they find out consider yourself dead" he says as he give them cold and sharp gaze and his voice resonated with authority as he sought confirmation.

"Did I make myself clear?" The room was filled with affirmations as everyone bowed respectfully, their voices united in response. "Yes, your highness," they echoed in unison.

Han was sitting peacefully beside the pond, the cool air gently caressing his golden hair. He held a captivating red life core in his hand, entranced by its beauty as he lost himself in thought. With a warm smile, he spoke softly to the life core, reassuring it.

"No one's going to hurt you, your safe with me" Han murmured, his eyes fixed on the precious object in his palm.as he suddenly heard a footsteps walking towards him

He hides the life core before he get caught discreetly tucks it into his pocket, his light brown eyes shifting up to meet Eric's gaze "his highness want us!" Eric says with cold tone as he noticed that han hides something but it was his last thing to care of

Han nodded, as he stands to follow eric. As they walk han curiously asked "Why would the prince want me? I'm rarely summoned for serious matters" he can tell from eric expression that something was wrong

Eric looked at him as he start explaining everything to han as he listen with shock expression.

As Everyone gathered in the headquarters, the tension in the air palpable. The prince's voice was resolute as he proposed, "We must secure all the life cores from the humans"

"Let's declare war on those filthy humans and made them learn their lesson!" "I agree with him your highness" john says with anger as he looks at the prince while aria agreed with him with scary smile across her face

"W-wait we can't just declare war it dangerous and stupid move!!" Han says as he looks at john but he immediately looks down as john looks at him with sharp looks

"i agree with han you highness we can't lose people in stupid war when we don't even know where or why the king took all those life core" eric says calmly while he looks at Charles.

"Well i have plan" Charles says as he looks at them all.
