MERCIA
88. Big News.

The light that came out of the bracelet was very bright.What made him surprised was that he felt only he saw the bracelet shining.he saw his surroundings.time suddenly felt stopped, time suddenly felt stopped, he watched the servant, his eyes unblinking, and then observed that two people not far behind Zelda looked as if they had each a sword tucked under his cloak, he also saw a man sitting in a corner dipping his hand into a soup cup on his desk.

'What's going on?'

August looked at Zelda and he was completely dumbfounded, his hands black with their nails pointed out from inside the soup bowl in front of Zelda and clutching her neck.

Seeing the danger threatening Zelda August took the steak-cutting knife in the servant's tray and swung the black hand.

wuuttt's. craatt..

the black hand was cut off, with August running out of energy again, his dark eyes fell unconscious, but at first glance he saw someone sitting in the corner screaming in pain.

**

Innodale.

"Nefia.. Have we arrived yet?"

"you see there are some cities under the foot of the golden mountain look for a city that has three gates and also a black castle, my energy is drained open a portal, I can't see far."

"I found it, well you restore your strength I'll find water and food.

Innodale's activity remains crowded, but now there is a contrast, very different when August visited it, the city looks friendly to every visitor from the outside.

In the hall of the black castle appears to be gathered Helena, Freya and Minerva as well as several other witches. Their conversation came to a halt when they saw a middle-aged man walking over to them.

"What's Oswyn?" ask Helena.

"Sorry Miss Helena outside there are two big guests who want to see you."

"Great guest? who?"

"two leaders of Armeda, chief of Myla and chief of Nephia."

"you said both?" ask Freya.

The three of them looked at each other.

"Right Miss, I was also surprised to see her."

"Do they want to demand a response from me?" ask Minerva.

"Calm down, brother, I will defend you by explaining everything" Freya said.

"Let them in, we won't know until we ask."

Oswyn bowed and left.

Shortly after, Oswyn returned to deliver the two and left again.

"We didn't expect the arrival of the two famous Armeda chiefs" Freya said.

"You're too complimentary, we're not the head of Armeda anymore" said Nefia.

"Our arrival..."

"Wait.. What do you mean by saying not the chairman anymore? is there a change of leadership? what's the name of the two people who replaced you?" ask Helena.

"We'll explain it, but before that comes we want to meet someone named Helena, we come as messengers" Myla said.

"Thousand?"

"Do you want to avenge what I did to Aruna?"

"Minerva calm down" said Helena.

"Before Aruna was my subordinate, I don't know what you've done to her, if I know our arrival has nothing to do with it, it's all the past, there's more to it than you think now" said Nefia.

"All hold yourselves now, I am Helena, now can you explain what happened and what you came to mean?"

"Miss Helena and all, we are no longer the head of Armeda, Aruna, he is our new leader" Myla said.

"Who's the other one?" ask Helena.

"No, he's the sole leader."

"What..? so you mean..."

"really.., Armeda was united under the leadership of Aruna two days ago."

Helena and the others were shocked to hear it.

"United armeda? that's big news" Freya said.

"Miss Helena.."

"Call me Helena."

"Well, some time ago the kingdom of Galan was attacked by a demon army that resulted in the killing of the king of Valon. they want to make the place the strength of their troops to conquer other kingdoms, they want to make the place the power base of their troops to conquer other kingdoms, but we all managed to beat them."

"Really.."

"I don't understand, you said Armeda was united two days ago, then how did you two get there before? why should Armeda be involved with that little kingdom" asked Helena.

"It was not only the two of us, but the daughter of king Thurinor of Enigma, Nasyra and his army were also there."

"The elf? they there?"

"Rightly one of the reasons why we all helped Galan was also the same as the reason we met you" Nefia said.

"what's that?" ask Helena.

"Mercia."

Helena and the others were shocked to hear the name.

"Mercia?"

Among others, only Helena was so emotional hearing the name, she recalled her brief but meaningful encounter.

"Helena, we've been sent by Mercia to see you for your help" Myla said.

"Say what can I help you with?"

"Mercia thought, the attack on Galan kingdom is only a beginning, they will definitely attack again, but we don't know their next target yet."

"Continue."

"Galan had formed the Alliance under the instruction of Mercia, but those who joined were only small kingdoms, Mercia wanted to form an Alliance with great powers.he wanted the kingdom of Gavaria to merge."

"Gavaria? it's a big kingdom, they can't possibly have the desire to join" Minerva said.

"Everybody thinks that, but not Mercia" said Nefia.

"Minerva I did meet Mercia for a while, but in that short time I saw something that even I myself almost refused to believe. I don't know what's in her head but I'm sure she knows something has a good reason" Helena said.

"Helena, you're right. Mercia knew something about Gavaria, and she was very sure the great kingdom would join her, which is why we've come to you to pick you up to go to the kingdom of Gavaria."

"Whatchu mean? you want me to ask them to join Galan?"

"Mercia, who once saved queen Janessa, also knew her two sons and daughters Drake and Jasmine. Gavaria was desperate to ally with Innodale, which is why Mercia needed your help" Myla said.

"If Mercia knows them, why do they she still needs your help Helena?" ask Freya.

"I don't know." replied Helena.

reposeful.

"I think that even if he knew the three of them it was just a personal relationship, whereas getting them to join was a big decision, Mercia had to convince them" Nephia said.

"it makes sense" said Minerva.

"how's Helena are you willing to help?" ask Myla.

"of course I'm willing, I've promised her I'll stand by her when the battle against the demon army begins."

Nefia and Myla looked at each other.

"But I can't go with you two, I'm not the right person."

"Then..?" Myla was a little confused.

"Minerva you went with the two of them" said Helena.

"Huh.me?"

"Yes, you've been known as the ruler of Innodale."

"But you are our leader now."

"They don't know me, but they know you, Mercia needs us to convince Gavaria, if it's me or Freya who's gone they'll hesitate, but if you go they'll listen, they'll listen, they must have been surprised to see the two leaders of Armeda and the ruler of Innodale come to their kingdom."

Myla and Nefia glanced at each other with smiles.

"All right, I'll go."

"Don't feel compelled to Minerva, just think of it as your redeemer for Aruna who is now the leader of Armeda" Freya said.

"I don't feel compelled, I haven't left Innodale in a long time, what I've done in the past, there will be a lot of people after me."

"We'll both protect you, we'll take care of each other" Myla said.

"No. You guys don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun, give me time to prepare for everything."

"You are weird, hahaha."
