Queen's Palace~~
Estira's room is currently in a state of turmoil. Estira was hysterical with a frightened expression. His face was deathly pale with his entire body shaking violently.
"QUICK TAKE THAT OUT..!! " strangled Estira to her loyal servant, Erlhite.
He pointed to the piece of human head that was on his bed and complete with a bouquet of red roses.
Erlhite immediately came out calling the bodyguards to get rid of the head. While that happened to Estira, she could not move from there.
His feet were limp, unable to move. His pupils trembled with fear that was beginning to overwhelm him. Seeing that, Estira is haunted by a nightmare that is welcoming her. But of course in another sense.
"T-no...!! There's no way that little bitch killed Ryco..!! Although the rumor said that the boy had already killed 2 Rank A soldiers, it was not true..!!" estira's monologue with a mind that's starting to go awry.
"A-or was this the Emperor? A-is he angry if I touch that damn brat?!" estira continued, hugging herself with growing fear.
He felt like he was getting smaller, small enough to open his eyes. And Estira slowly began to lose consciousness and fell on the floor with her head hitting the floor.
*Brukk.the head of Estira bled when the head began to hit the floor hard.
Not long time passed, finally Erlhite came with 2 soldiers in a hurry. Their faces panicked as they began to open the door of Estira's room.
" !! " erlhite's eyes bulged when she saw the Queen had lost consciousness. He quickly came to Estira while kneeling.
"Queen, what happened to you..!!" panic Erlhite worried.
"You two, quickly get that damn thing out of here..!! " strictly Erlhite so that the 2 soldiers immediately moved to get rid of the head from the top of Estira's mattress.
Erlhite refocused on Estira. He took out a handkerchief and wiped Estira's sweat using the blue handkerchief. While continuing to think, Erlhite said..
"Who dares to do this to the Queen..!! I will return 100 times to him..!!" erlhite growled tightly at the handkerchief.
...****************...
After that shocking incident, the day went by quickly. Until it is not felt that come the days that everyone and Rivera have been waiting for.
The state of the empire was crowded at this time, filled with workers or servants who were decorating the empire. This time, the holy event will be held in the main palace grounds or often referred to as the official palace.
That's where the sacred event of the lunar eclipse will take place. Given if the field in the official palace has a large size to accommodate at least 500 people who join.
Of course, the ordinary people, also feel the spirit of welcoming the sacred event. Moreover, at the holy event it would be attended by the imperial family which they very rarely saw.
Even once they see at least they can only see their back or from the side. Therefore, they did not want to pass the opportunity for auspicious sacred event.
Currently in the main palace, where Alexander usually performed his duties as emperor, is being fulfilled by various envoys from other kingdoms under the Obelion empire.
Alexander was sitting on his throne while looking lazily towards the front. He folded his legs with his left hand propping up his chin.
"What kingdom are you from..?" coldly Alexander asked a young man who was with his subordinates, carrying a chest containing pearls.
The young man gulped with sweat that began to drench his face. He looked at Alexander tensely as if he was being confronted by a kind of beetle that had just woken up from his sleep.
"My respect to the imperial sun Obelion..!! I am the crown prince of the kingdom of Berly, my name is Ferdes Sermon. My arrival here is as an emissary from our kingdom in order to participate in the sacred event of the lunar eclipse," Ferdes explained bowing slightly with his respect.
"Ouhh, you're from the Berly kingdom. I heard that your kingdom is the largest pearl-producing kingdom, right?" alexander asked but felt a little lazy to just wait for an answer.
"True, your highness the emperor.Berly kingdom is the largest pearl-producing kingdom. Since we have obtained this precious opportunity, we do not want to miss the opportunity of bringing our best pearls as a gift, your majesty the emperor," Ferdes humbly replied.
It is true that the kingdom of Berly is the largest pearl-producing kingdom. Even the price of pearls is the same as the price of a human head. No wonder pearls have a very expensive price, because pearls can be used for jewelry, amulets, artifacts, medicine and cosmetics.
Although Berly kingdom was not a kingdom of power users, but the small kingdom was quite prosperous with abundant treasures.
Everyone in the room was also envious because Alexander got 1 pearl chest with very high quality. Alexander could only make a smile as he said..
"I will receive this gift. As a thank you for giving this precious item, I will give you a gift. I will send it later," Alexander said with a lazy expression.
"Thank you for your generosity, your highness the emperor," countered Ferdes bowing back and then starting to leave from before Alexander.
"It's boring..!!" alexander's mind grew tired of having to greet the remaining guests.
For a second, Alexander's eyes suddenly turned toward the magic tower messenger who was sitting quietly with their bodies wrapped in large robes.
At once Alexander's eyes sharpened as he felt a suspicious feeling at their attitude.
"What else will the old man do..!!" alexander's Mind.
Because there were still so many messengers that he had to take care of, Alexander chose to dismiss all those bad thoughts. He continued to greet all the messengers so that he could quickly leave from there.
In short, the moon also came to replace the role of the sun. The days that had been awaited finally came, welcoming the enthusiasm of the people of the Obelion empire and other kingdoms.
Note: The Empire is 1 level above the kingdom.
While everyone greeted the sacred event with their enthusiasm, Rivera just fell silent with a flat expression as if not to assume if an event like this is important to follow.
Rivera continued to watch around with a cautious attitude. Even he had deployed all the Holy Sword Knights around the event field.
"So soon this place will be destroyed." Rivera thought.
