Chapter 32
" ugh, what the hell is this foul smell?" Lennox exclaimed in disgust.
Everly answered:" ah, it's the single-eyed Shols' rotten corpse".
Lennox frowned firmly, covering his nose he said:" ughhh, I feel like puking, oh no, I am dying. awww, damn it"
Everly scolded:" Hey!! my nose is way more sensitive than yours and I am not even frowning. So stop complaining and".
Everly was yet to demand Lennox to do his job quickly, when she began sniffing closer to the mist, with a troubled expression, she said:" there is also a faint scent of human corpses, seems like some people died here a while ago ".
Lennox fought the urge to throw up his dinner and said frustrated:" for fuck sake!!!! why do you know how dead bodies smells like?!!!".
Everly crossed her arms irritated: "I told you, I am a beast hunter ".
Lennox sneered:" I thought you were a knight ".
Everly responded naively:" I am a beast hunter knight".
" you are just a dumb zombie" Lennox commented.
By that time Kai and his group had closed the distance between them, only few meters left away. Sensing that they have arrived, Lennox straightened his torso and schooled his expression, even though the air suffocated him, he did not want to show a weak side of him to his fellow subordinates.
However, the smell was way too unbearable, and it might even get worse by time. nonchalantly, Lennox pulled Everly closer and unfastened her hair ribbon, letting her caramel hair spread over her slender shoulders.
Everly exclaimed:" what are you doing!! This is my ribbon!!".
" lend it to me for now," he said that while warping it around his face, covering both his nose and mouth.
The combination between his black hair and the red ribbon was unexpectedly stylish and pleasant, especially after taking in count his pale blueish skin as a background.
' he looks cool, I will keep it with him for a bit'
The moment Kai and the others stepped before Lennox, the latter showered them with commands.
Lennox: "you are here, good. We are splitting the team into three, Kai, the gay dude, this monkey and I will enter the city, since this one can't be broken from the outside forcefully".
Somehow, the reason to call Everly a monkey could be seen vividly, but why refraining to Sandro as {the gay dude}?
Without giving them the time to protest, Lennox continued:" the two lazy frogs will stay here in case of emergencies, lastly, the puffed uncle will return to Zahani to request for medical teams, since there are dead humans, surely there will be injured ones".
Sandro watered his heart with tears, he can not bark at Lennox, he is an imperial member, let alone a scary one.
formally, Sandro asked:" would your highness mind enlighten us about the way to break through the formation without being trapped?".
Lennox blankly said:" we will fly there".
Both Sandro and Kai blinked twice, speechless. How do he expect them to fly? Are they supposed to grow wings out of the blue?
With a pause, Lennox added:" I can only teleport within the range of my sight, so we will have to go up there then jump down inside the walls".
Jump?!!!
Isn't these walls at least fifty meters?!! Forget about surviving, they are more concerned if their corpses would be recognizable.
While the two men were sobbing for their lives, Everly who was carelessly stepping in and out of the mist, suddenly called:" or we can use this path".
" what path ?" Lennox asked.
" this here, I can smell the ocean-like scent coming from this part, it's the path the mother left for her children to use when they are ready to leave the nest".
With a conflicted expression, Lennox said bewildered:" did your brain got damaged so your olfactory system became such heavy-duty?".
Everly:" huh? What do you mean?".
Before they start fighting again, Kai quickly intruded:" does Milady know Where this path ends at?".
Everly:" where the eggs were laid mostly ".
Lennox indifferently said:" it will better if it was, we will have to destroy them anyway, but it can't be sure until we get there".
Kai agreed firmly, while Sandro was still confused.
' so first you said we suicide and jump off from more than fifty meters high but now you say we have to sniff our way through? Is there any logic left in this world?'
Since this crazy mess does not include them, the two lazy frogs, Ethan and Noah, were gazing at Sandro with pitty.
'Ah, the poor thing, they are taking him to die '
In the time Sandro was crying bitterly in his heart, Kai managed to persuade Lennox to enter through the path Everly found, at least their chances to survive were higher that way.
Yet before they stepped into the mist, Everly extended her arm and held Lennoxs' hand as if it was the most natural thing in the world. And while Lennox acted not bothered nor pleased but rather indifferent, the two knights walking behind them were about to mentally break down.
' What is that! When did the prince learn to be a good brother?!!! Wasn't he the one who always called Princess Annasophy, his older sister, a whore or a bitch?!! Did he fall for Everlys' cuteness?'
As she walked confidently, Everly gradually began turning to the right, and after twenty minutes of following her, they finally caught a glimpse of the city walls.
Faint glowing lights could be seen from the gigantic hole on that thick wall, after looking closer, the glowing lights were actually the reflection of the moon on the mirror-like eggshells.
Lennox stared at the eggs that were almost about thirty or forty in numbers, each one of them was as high as a grown adult. And with s solemn face he called:" oi, Everly ".
"Hn".
" are these eggs edible?".
In instant, Sandro and Kais' faces darkened.
'you really ain't picky your highness, you just eat everything in sight'
Despite Sandro and Kais' troubled reaction, Everly answered earnestly:" master said they aren't poisonous as long as they did not mature, however, I didn't try them so I don't know about the taste. Why are you asking?".
Lennox suppressed his smirk and said nonchalantly:" I thought it would be good to take one or two with us back to the palace, you know, as a souvenir".
Dazed by the horrible smell and Lennoxs' disgusting ideas, Kai kept surveying the surroundings while clenching his heart in pitty for the innocent Everly who seriously believed that make-believe crap.
