" It was a job well done ." The Duke Verdens smiled at the success .
"We never fail . I told you but you just wouldn't agree ." Duke Zaronark was getting annoyed as time passed .
"Where the hell is he ? We were supposed to meet an hour ago ." Duke Zaronark slammed his drink on the wooden table making all the stationed guards tensed .
"Calm down maybe he got caught up in something ." Duke Verdens was relatively calm but not to the point of relax.
"I apologise for the late . I was caught by this beautiful lady on the way here....Oh ! you both have arrived ." The voice said from the door behind them .
"Yes the time was an hour ago . We also have work to do and some lady is not important right now ." Duke Zaronark was more angry now after hearing the ridiculous reason for being late .
"Now I get to decide what is important for me . And Duke Zaronark you have no right to say where I shou
"Do you want to say something maybe captain ?"The captain of the imperial knights guard was bowing his head in shame before the emperor ."Forgive me your majesty , I'm still unable to find the culprit of the murders .""Then I think it's time you get serious and try finding them before I cut you off . " Anastus de Rohannas , the current emperor of the Virident Empire sat in his throne with a magnificent glow ."I will do my best your majesty ." The knight captain knew his fate if he was unable to do what was told ."You should work harder captain , I wish I don't lose a capable subordinate like you like this, don't you agree ?""Yes your majesty , I understand .""Good you may leave now ."The captain left the room without lifting his head up . The shame was much greater this time . The emperor also left the room after that .
As expected it took three hours for Seilin to get ready. Emily choose a white velvet dress with red embroidery and matching accessories to go with it . She was looking beautiful as always , no one would believe that she is already three months pregnant ."I wish you have a good time today my lady .""I will Emily. I will be back as soon as I can ."The carriage was waiting outside along with two knights with purple uniform of the Batternberg's."Was two needed ?" Seilin said as she took Benjamin's hand to ride the carriage ."Yes master it is needed for our image and your safety .""Alright then I will be back. ""Yes madam ."The carriage arrived at the palace an hour later. The queen's palace was far from the main palace so it took a bit much time . Upon arriving a maid was waiting for Seilin at the fron
Once again Seilin washed away all her worries and fatigue in the warm water of the bath prepared specially by Emily . She took a long bath as she didn't really have anything else to do with her time . After the bath Seilin sat in front of her desk staring at the blank page before writing a letter to Harren to let him know about today's meeting . It was the first time the queen approached her after arriving at the empire capital . She wouldn't have if it was not any thing important though . The pretty first impression of the queen to Seilin was completely ruined .The next morning Seilin woke up with a much fresh mind than last night . She ordered Emily to make a fresh set of tea for the morning curving . Emily carefully brewed a honey tea for her lady . It made Seilin's morning for the best , but it didn't last long enough ."My lady I have the reply from the Lord ." The knight in black armor said while gasping for air . He must have rus
The Virident Empire is the most important and beautiful in the whole continent . Travelers come from all over just to see the royal palace from the outside . Besides the emperor of the empire there are five major Nobel families who control and manage the empire . The house of Batternberg is one of them who currently is the most powerful . The other families are Verdens , Somali , Rechardiea and Zaronark .The Zaronark family is just the opposite of the Batternberg family . The Batternberg family support the emperor with their everything , even their own life! But the Zaronark family always oppose the emperor in any official meeting , no matter if its useful or not .The Verdens family is the oldest out of the five though . They were always the emperor's companions throughout the empire's history .But even with all the similarities within this loyal families of the empire , the Batternberg family is hated from with
' The new Duke of Batternberg is too young to control a duchy ' is what everyone said . But the duke single handedly killed a whole forest full of monsters at the competition between nobel families last year , which is held every year to decrease the number of monsters near the capital .This so called monsters are said be easy to defeat even for a newbie knight . But if you run into them in a group , you have to be a silver medal knight to return with your limbs attached . This monsters don't really have any kind of magic powers to be wary of , but their physical strength is enormous . When they are in a group they are very strong and dangerous .In the compitcompe held near the capital no one go without a knight squad accompanying them . But duke Harren Battenburg went to this hunt with only two footmen as his companions and returned victorious by defeating all the monsters in the forest with the shortest time in the empire's h
Harren came back to the bar the next day in the morning . His companions said that they don't remember much of the girl even though they were listening to her , but they only drank two glasses before that , so it's unlikely that they were drunk , but they still can't remember her singing clearly neither her face . Knights don't get drunk on two glasses of alcohol anyway .The bar owner was managing the counter when Harren arrived at the shop ealy in the morning , they were open at least."Excuse me" , Harren said with a little smile on his , which incidentally creeped out his knights companions ."Yes , how may I help you , sir?" Gordon was quite calm while replying ."Um. . can I ask about the girl that was singing here yesterday." With the hesitation in the question the knights really felt chill in their back . The duke never really hesitate in his speech even with the royal family . So this
"Ew , I didn't ask for a love from you Lord . I asked about the lady and if she is someone suspicious ." Mat shrugged ."Well I don't think you have to be concerned about her and her identity . " Harren was sad now that his friend don't really like his story . Although bit of it was fictional ."Really then how much do you know about her ?" Mat was excited now ." Well , she is an orphan . She came here almost three years ago . She is really good singer and kind to everyone ." Harren was happy to deliver the news to Mat ." But you still don't know if she...."" Oh..shu s up Mat , I will talk with her and then I will know how she is ." Harren left without saying anything more ."This guy! " Mat sat there thinking how he should start investigation .Harren asked some villagers about her and comes to know that her real name is Seilin
The place where they were talking was almost empty , so it was convenient to talk there ."That's not an answer to my question ."" I am not obligated to tell you everything now am I ? You didn't tell me everything about you too ." Harren smirked a little at his revenge from last time in the field ."Alright then tell me where you came from ." Seilin was a little irritated ." I came from the capital . ""Really? You are from the capital ! Did you see the emperor there ? ""I did ; why ?""WHAT ! You have ? Wow it's the emperor no one from around here saw a single royal member let alone the emperor .""I see . Well I can guarantee that he is not like the stories though . ""Whatever he still is the emperor of our land ."" I see ." Harren was quite sad by her interest th
