Lahat ng Kabanata ng Emperor Shadow: Kabanata 541 - Kabanata 550

Shadow went out of the secret base. The secret base was actually situated on one of many available islands. The island was massive enough to accommodate two large villages sizes excluding the secret base. The secret base was the center of these three villages and the lord of three. Hence, the taxes were paid to them. She chose one of the villages that were only three kilometers away from the secret base entrance and stood on the high hill with her hands on her hips. “They keep the villagers' money in exchange for protection.” Shadow didn’t realize that Nathan was standing behind her despite his high height. His height was typically 2.20m. It made her look like his young daughter. “Protection against who?” She asked ironically. Nathan sat on the floor to match up their eyes' level. Shadow was too small for them to have a normal conversation. He needed to take such measures out of consideration. “Against them, ironically.” Nathan also thought it was a ridiculous setup. “Are they

Nathan opened his mouth only to close it yet again. To maintain his sanity, it’s better to not engage with anything political with this tiny human. She could be as vicious as a snake. He still wanted to live.“I still don’t understand why he needs to kill them all.” Nathan was still not clear about that.“That is because Bulteo always views themselves as superior. Bulteo only cares about Bulteo. They don’t care about others.” Shadow responded.“Rumors speak of a vow the marigold king has sworn, a promise born in his greed and his ambition, born out of the very sins definitely not befitting his devastating status…” Michael gathered his breath.Shadow’s lips were stretching unpleasantly to the side. There was something incredible foreboding about how Michael arranged his statement. “The psychotic king has sworn upon the sky to erase every race that ever exists in this world and to create their own unique race.” Michael breathed out with a pondering heart inside his chest. Shadow sighe

Another soldier also interjected his input regretfully.“We can’t get involved in this battle. It can only end with the will of one of the warriors. All we can do is watch this sacred ritual from the side.”Firash bit his lower lip. Why did they act as if this battle was some sort of offering? They were not offering or doing any ritual. It was simply a fight. He bet his chest in frustration that nowhere he spoke about.“You are strong, brother. But not more than I expected. You seem to neglect your training.”“I– I am not. Spit!”Aidan spit out some blood and scoffed. His face was full of disgust. It looked like he had realized how crazy Shadow was.Shadow looked at him with a smile still. But, Shadow was admiring Aidan’s tenacity so much. He would stand back up even after being beaten to a pulp repeatedly. He would never give up. He seemed like a character out of a children’s cartoon. The hero or whatever it was.‘That is why he is a crown prince. His endurance is on another level.

After safely getting the rat out of the ground hole under the tree, she sat down on the massive rocks near the river bank. The rat girl naturally kneeled in front of her. Although there was no need to do that, Shadow didn’t care and just went straight to the point.“Who are you?”“My name is Talia, from the rat tribe. I am coming from the western continent but was brought here by the marigold dragon.” Talia introduced herself.Shadow perked up and silently peeked at Midas and Malikul. Malikul was also interested in the rat girl.‘She is sensible.’Both of them had a similar thought.Talia knew exactly what she was after and delivered.“Your age?” Shadow asked, just for the spice.Talia flinched, her tight face was slightly trembled because of shock but quickly recovered.“My age is supposed to be a secret…” She was bashful, cheeks tinted with pink.‘She is fun too.’Both of them pumped up. She wasn’t as rigid as anyone who had ever seen them for the first time. Even when they emitted

“What are we doing here?”“I don’t know… we have this kind of place.”“Oh my god, mosquitos. It bites me.”“Green everywhere.”The two kings were whining and looking around while towing behind Shadow. Their voices were quite loud to the point it was echoing. Currently, they are inside the Dark Woodland third layer called the Black Forest. The place was like a maze. Everyone who entered the forest without permission would have a hard time dealing with the direction.And the people she planned to trick and invade this place were the people that she planned to use. For her own gain, of course.The sky was gloomy and the rain poured down like a waterfall. “Honey… Please stay under the umbrella.” Ibrahim wrinkled his forehead with worry when Shadow tried to escape from the umbrella he was holding. “Here, use your own umbrella, then.” He shoved the tiny umbrella that befitted her height when he had given up to make her stay still.“Why thank you.” She took it gratefully and started to lea
