Pale was one of the generals under the rule of the Duke of Well kingdom. Although he was a general, his position was not the same as the great general in the capital. He was just a small general led by a god of war. To Pale Duke Court was a cool figure. He had accompanied the Duke several times to the battlefield and admired his strength when fighting the enemy. He also knew how sweet Duke was to treat his wife and child. The figure of the Duke was already a very valuable role model for him. She wants to be a successful person and then a beautiful wife. And he'll retire and live well with his family. It was a simple dream.
He also receives a mission to secure Duke's main residence because the man is busy in the capital. So he was very impressed. There were two junior generals under the Duke's command. Him and Armin. Armin is a man younger than him and talented. Actually he felt inferior to Armin's existence, but for the sake of his ideals, he would not give up. Everyone always compares their abilities.
But suddenly today he received shocking news. The news almost knocked him unconscious on the spot, but he managed to keep his consciousness. That the Duke teamed up with a dark wizard who became a royal spy. And at this time the Duke along with everyone in the capital were arrested. This news made everyone in the mansion panic.
Some of the soldiers began to doubt their leader. That their leader is a hidden villain who wants to destroy their kingdom. Some of them have families in the capital. So there's no way they're siding with criminals who want to destroy their kingdom. So they chose to leave, leaving the Duke's army. But there are some who still put their trust in Duke, that the news is not true. They split into two sides.
Armin is a small businessman who wants to raise his degree as an unknown noble. He thought that Duke was a very good stepping stone. But because of this incident, the assumption was wrong. The Duke only brought him into ruin. So he wants to be in the safe zone. He along with the other soldiers intend to head to the capital and declare that they are not involved with the Duke. And also claimed their contribution during the war. They want to leave Duke's army.
While Pale and the other soldiers were on opposite sides. They still believed in the Duke and their leader was not a bad person. Almost some of them also have no special ties with the kingdom of Well. They were completely pure at serving the Duke in awe of his strength and personality. Pale actually wanted to live quietly in this kingdom. But his instincts said not to leave Duke and he trusted him.
The duke summoned him with the last telepathic magic for the preparation of the war in the capital. Of course he went there. He also saw the group of Armin who decided to go to the capital. Pale was sure the telepathy also reached Armin's ears. That the Duke intended to wage war against the kingdom. Pale was confident that Armin would become a traitor and reported the Duke's plans to the other nobles. But he can't do anything about it. Because Pale couldn't hurt them. They were friends before. How can I be an enemy now?

The king rushed to Diana prison after he completed his interrogation mission at Duke prison. The king really hoped that the woman would cooperate with him. So he didn't have to bother to interrogate her in such a horrible way. Even if he works well together. The king could provide a good option for her to live with her husband. It all depends on how Diana gives every piece of information she gets as a spy.
When the King arrived, Diana was already conscious. The woman was weak in the panjara. Although his eyes were open, he did not look like a living person.His face looked very pale and his eyes were soft. Looks like a sick person trying to stay sober. The king was not even sure that Diana had the strength to make a sound out of her mouth. But the king doesn't care. He sent two bodyguards to drag Diana in front of his eyes.
"..." - ".Diana looked at the king with lethargic eyes and did not open her mouth at all.
"You can still talk, right? Anwser me. Or you know the consequences. Never try to lie to me" the King let out a threatening aura.
Diana slowly opened her mouth. "I have no purpose whatsoever." he replied in a small and weak voice.
The king frowned "Even if you make yourself like that, I won't feel sorry for you!" snapped it. "I just really didn't expect that the wife of my brother-in-law would be a spy. Makes me really have a headache"
"Last question" the King's eyes narrowed. "What's your aim? I hope you didn't waste my time and energy asking the same question"
"Nothing.." replied Diana weakly. His voice was weaker than the first sound.
Actually, the King wanted to torture him if he didn't want to confess. Diana was almost dead. If the King did that, Diana would die before the day of her execution and she would not get any information. So the King thought about something more effective than torturing this dark witch.
"You know your baby's in my hands, right? Do you really not care about him?"
DEG! Diana's eyes were shocked. Suddenly he moved his hand and looked at the King seriously. "Don't touch my baby!" diana said angrily with a hoarse voice. But still his voice sounded very weak.
"I won't touch it if you cooperate" said the King. In fact this old man actually acted quite cold and heartless as it involved an innocent baby in royal political affairs. He also felt guilty in his deepest heart. She as a parent knew what Diana was feeling. But he had to do it for the sake of the kingdom. And he still vividly remembered what marquis Zent had said about the baby.
'The baby was a dark witch when she was growing up'. Therefore the Marquis told the King not to give the position of nobility to him. King consented. Therefore, revoking the Duke's position as a high-ranking noble was in his plans. He would make the Duke and his family live quietly in a small territory, far away from the capital without any peerage.
