Chapter 78

Time has passed by so swiftly that we were able to finish the water reservoir and even made some extensions to the households in some villages in the Ignis Hella. The Knights continued their training. Everyone had some peace in their living. However, we are all aware that the peace we are currently enjoying is temporary. In the coming war, no one is sure who will win. No one knows who will survive. 

And that war is today.

I stood alone in front of the Ignis castle two hundred meters away. I am watching the mighty castle my father reigns. The castle which will be mine to rule in the future, as my father prepared me. General Amber has positioned his army on the left, right, and back of the castle. My father is with Hunter. They are discussing something. It's only between the two of them.

I sensed someone getting near me. I know their smell. Very familiar. 

"Why are alone, Akira?" Prince Matias who is now was standing behind asked me.
