Hellbents
Chapter 90: The Enlightenment
Ellijah's big and long steps could barely be matched by the royal warriors chasing after him, the man furiously passed through the palace's dim alleys.
"Duke Frost! Master!" The poor soldier. "Master, wait a minute!"
Everyone knew that the Duke who ruled the northern region of Edodale had tremendous influence, whether it came from the raw strength of his window status, high level, high level, the down-and-down skill was obtained by members of Frost's maturity, or his strategy in combat and politics. But they also understand that Ellijah's temperament is easily ignited, she is just "benign" in front of her fiance, Princess Eve Weinhamer, who unfortunately is still angry with Duke Frost.
"Sorry, sir, please wait a moment!"
Only then did Ellijah stop her steps. The poor soldier was finally able to catch his breath for a moment, the floating palace they occupied of course had high altitut, which is why oxygen was also thin, somewhat difficult for ordinary people in the move. Three seconds into the group, the soldier conveyed the message he had left. "Greetings, Sir. Duke Frost, you were summoned directly by King-"
"Why?"
"Eh, sorry?"
"Why?!" The sudden outburst of anger made the poor soldier instantly fixated. Cold sweat immediately flowed from his temple. His entire body that was covered in light armor trembled in fear. Did he make a mistake? Is he acting disrespectful?
"Why don't you always listen to what I say?!" Ellijah's large hand was magically tucked between the protectors that the palace soldiers were wearing, strangling the insignificant character's neck. With all the effort, the poor soldier thrashed, but his efforts were not worth the anger that blinded the figure of the ruler of the northern region. He did not know what of his attitude made Duke Frost angry, the important thing now was to survive. He asked for mercy first. "Pardon me s-aya, T-lord!".
Unfortunately Ellijah could not see the misery of the poor soldier who almost fainted. "Why do you always interrupt my words?!"
"I'm-I'm sorry, sir." His consciousness barely escaped, his irises twirled backwards, his mouth foaming as well.
"You don't know how much I've suffered in these four months!"
Ellijah had grown accustomed to the passivity that Eve had shown in their decades-old engagement, but now that false rumors of her infidelity have spread in the kingdom, Eve has actively avoided it, even to escape from the palace. The royal family lightly regarded Eve's rebellious attitude as a temporary repression, as if they were confident that Eve would return soon. But Ellijah could not be as calm as them, so he desperately sought the whereabouts of the missing princess. But after being found and brought home to the palace, Duke Frost's intention to speed up their marriage process is still rejected.
"T-tu-" The body of the neck he was clutching was also squeezed. Ellijah clicked angrily, then dumped the corpse onto the floor.
In this engagement, Ellijah always felt like the wronged party.
But what power when his own feelings that dictate his obedience so far.
And still the problem he faced was still not resolved. He still had to make up with Eve, making the girl so as not to get angry anymore.
The jewels? A flower? No, Ellijah had sent out dozens of such objects but there was still no effect. Eve is very famous for her inheritance of the nature of the king, calculations. Then he must find a reward that benefits Eve's position in the kingdom or help research the alchemist woman.
From what he saw earlier this afternoon, his fiancee was researching the existence of the Game Master, a god.
... Hm.
Ellijah seems to know what Eve needs.
Unknowingly, a satisfied grin appeared in his cold face. He then glanced at the body at his feet.
Ah, right, he was called by the king.
Duke Frost turned around, leaving the passageway that the blue moon illuminated with a lighter heart.
