For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 27

After the portals that connect the realms dried out of mana due to the black snow accident, many creatures of different races that were originally visiting the human realm had no way out to their realms. Although, a divine being is able to open a temporary gate to travel between the realms, without the portals the human world was isolated.

As a result, the nonhumans had to adjust and keep their bloodline, thus they kept a low profile and stayed far away from humans. However, the beast types need to feed on something, preys that are weaker than them, and what can be easier than hunting the defenceless humans.

That goes for the lower class beasts, but the higher cones mostly are intelligent and capable of using magic, therefore they knew that there is nothing good comes from hocking up with the humans. Hence, the higher class beasts decided to settle by hunting the lower beasts.

However, some beasts with one life cycle die after laying their eggs and the newborns will have to hunt their own preys to live, but with their lack of experience they might run into a difficult enemy and end up defeated. So the mother invades other low-class beast's nest and cast a formation to surround and trap the preys, and once the eggs hatch the newborns will find easy targets to feed on.

As one of example, the single-eyed Shol.

Jennings and Carson quickly regained their composure and hid their embarrassment under a cough.

Carson stepped forward with a fake calm expression, he said solemnly:" my apologies for our lady's indecent words, it seems that she had been accompanying the crown prince for much of time that she caught some of his attitude. If the Marquis would have some kindness to let this one slide, we will appreciate it".

Kindness my ass

Whenever Lennox name was brought in front of the aristocrats they would get the cold sweat. And Carson pretty much knew how to use this point for his good.

That was an obvious threat, everyone understood the meaning behind his words: ( she is someone favoured by the crown prince, make her cry and I shall call the prince over)

By hearing Lennox title, Baxter Ruess's face who was originally reddened to its maximum suddenly paled to white sheet.

Nope

He is not messing with anything related to Lennox.

A cold sweat dropped in his forehead, Baxter Ruess said with an awkward smile:" do not worry about this, children are ignorant, they shall learn in the future. For now, we still have a significant matter in our hands".

Seeing that Everly was about to say something, Jennings quickly covered her mouth with his hand. Instead, Carson spoke, explaining:" mentioning that, his majesty and I pretty much trust the lady Everlys' words, if the Shol is dead then there is a possibility that the inhabitants are safe. So, for the time being, we will focus on breaking the mist formation then immediately sending rescue squads".

The knights and nobles who were pretending to be empty airs Suddenly exploded in whisperers.

Jennings watered his heart with tears, he knew that after those folks leave the hall, another pack of strange rumours will appear. He already gave up on fixing the imperial family's reputation, form the moment Lennox was born, rumours never stopped swinging to a bizarre path.

He threw some pretty words and shooed those people away and exited the throne hall.

Jennings sighed:" let's go have something to eat, these guys worked my brains out for a dead beast".

Everly:" huh? But I just ate my breakfast ".

Carson who was walking behind them said:" my lady, it's already past lunchtime. How is it that you just had your breakfast?".

Everly exclaimed:" ah, yesterday I stayed all night playing with Lennox. So I woke up late ".

Jennings:" yeah I heard about you hiding in Lennoxs' room because you didn't want to sleep".

Everly said pouting:" but you didn't hear about Rachel scolding me for thirty-two minutes ".

Jennings:" hahaha, she did?".

Carson thought ' and I am still speechless on how good you are at math'

Everly who was walking side by side with Jennings jumped in front of him. She winked after saying:" well, I don't want to eat so I will go to play with the horses bye-bye ".

She turned to leave and was about to take a step forward when Jennings suddenly grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her up, suspending her in air.

Jennings scolded:" where do you think you are going? Whether you wanted or not, I got to feed you until you are fat enough. Look at you, almost ten, but I still grab you like five years old baby".

Everly said while straggling:" but I just ate".

Jennings sat her on his arm, walking toward the dining hall:" I never expected I would ever say such a thing, but you should learn from Lennox, he eats limitless amount of food ".

Carson thought 'please don't, there is not a single good thing you could learn from the prince '

******

After being fed fully to the point that she can't even walk straight, Everly decided to go to her room and crawl back into Rachels' arms.

Usually, Everly would jump from a window to another or run on the roof, and today was the first time she walked through the corridors back to her room.

And as expected, she got lost.

It was still early for the dusk, thus there weren't any patrolling guards at the yard, Everly walked astray in hope to find anyone who would guide her in this vast palace.

Luckily, she heard the sounds of soft laughters coming from behind the bushes, feeling delighted, Everly somehow dragged her full stomach and went to see those happily laughing people.

Since she was shorter than the bushes, Everly had to push the leaves aside, but the scene behind wasn't expected.

The long golden wavy hair spread over the fresh green grass, a fairy white hand was tangled with another slightly bigger and rougher hand, eyes closed and lips sealed by each other.

There were shameless people, shamelessly doing shameless acts.

But wait!!

That face wasn't new for Everly.
