Lilia and Catherine were trapped in a crowd of pilgrims who had just exited the Temple of Light. The horse-drawn carriage that carried them had to stop speeding.
Lilia shifted the black glass of the Horse Train carriage because she heard the laughter of Sarah, the little girl she met at breakfast at the Restaurant.
Lilia saw Sarah being carried by the man who was most likely her father. Sarah kept laughing at the guy.
“Eh, That guy?” Lilia felt very familiar with that man. She is very similar to Alex and Lilia suddenly remembered the incident four years ago; it was rumored that Alex died trying to protect the baby from his marriage to the Crown Princess of the Eternal Forest Kingdom.
“What's up, Mom?” catherine asked in surprise to see her mother shed tears.
Lilia immediately got off the Horse Train and Catherine immediately followed him while guessing what happened there was her mother.
Lilia could no longer see where Sarah and the man were going. Sarah's laughter was not heard anymore either.
“Mother ...” Catherine held Lilia's hand. “What's up?” inquiringly.
“Mommy saw a figure similar to Alex!” sahut Lilia while wiping her tears. “Your brother is still alive and he is the father of the little girl we met at the Restaurant this morning.”
Lilia was very happy, it turned out that the aura that woke her up yesterday really belonged to Alex.
“Oh, yes... Sarah says they live in the City of Peace. I must go there immediately to persuade Alex to return to the Imperial Palace,” said Lilia excitedly and impatiently to meet her youngest son.
However, Catherine shook her head and said, “Don't do that, Mom!”
Lilia was astonished at why Catherine had forbidden her to meet Alex.
“The other two brothers will definitely think that you are favoritism if you go to see the Third Prince,” Catherine said again. “The Second Prince did not want to see Mom after she reappeared and instead went to the Everlasting Forest to have a political marriage with Helena.”
Lilia is further confused, as Helena is Alex's wife. If Lycus marries Helena then Alex will be angry and his two children may be fighting or the hostility between the two is increasing and culminating in death in one of them.
Catherine brought Lilia back into the Horse Train carriage and said, “Mother take it easy. I will secretly go to Peace City and persuade the Third Prince to see mother soon.”
Lilia nodded her head in agreement with Catherine's words. She stared blankly at the crowd of pilgrims from the window of the Horse Train carriage and sighed deeply, she felt she had failed to be a good mother because she could not put down her Third Son's infighting.

“Dad... Sarah wants it!” the word Sarah points to a wheelbarrow that sells Wyvern Monster Eggs that are similar to Dragons, but do not have intelligence like the Dragon Race or can change their form like Humans.
“Sarah is still not full?” Alex was surprised, even though Sarah had bought various types of snacks Ella City.
Sarah smiled widely and said, “I just want to taste a little and Dad will spend the rest.”
“Ehhhhhh? Sarah cheated!” Alex tickled Sarah so much that Sarah chuckled. “Yes, for the sake of this beautiful father's daughter, then Dad will help you clean up all the rest of your snacks,” he said again with a long sigh.
“Your daughter is beautiful once, sir!” the seller said the Egg Monster Wyvern to Alex who was walking towards his cart.
The Wyvern Monster Egg Seller frowned at Alex's reply. “There can I help you with, sir?” he said he immediately switched the topic of their conversation.
“Telur boiled one, Uncle!” sahut Sarah as she handed Twenty Silver Coins.
The Wyvern Monster Egg Seller nodded slowly and kept the Silver Coins Sarah had given her. Then he retrieved One Wyvern Monster Egg from the big Pot and peeled off the Wyvern Monster Egg shell.
Sarah's eyes twinkled at the Wyvern Monster Egg and gulped repeatedly because she could not wait to taste the Wyvern Monster Egg.
The Monster Egg Vendor Wyvern placed the three-fist Egg of the Adult Man on a banana leaf and handed it to Sarah. “Be careful it's still hot!”
“Thanks Uncle!” sarah immediately bit the Wyvern Monster Egg. “Ummm, so good!”
Alex just smiled, because all the food that goes into the mouth of his daughter was sure he said good even though it tastes mediocre according to the standard of the tongue Alex.
It was natural because Sarah used to only eat Dry Bread every day and only occasionally eat food that is quite tasty given by Master Isabella.
After spending half of the Wyvern Monster Egg, Sarah gives the rest to Alex. He then pointed towards the restaurant that was quite crowded with pilgrims.
Alex certainly obeyed Sarah's wishes and immediately headed to the restaurant while spending the Egg Monster Wyvern which turned out to taste quite salty.

On the Island captured from the Demon Kingdom, the First Prince read the message sent by his subordinates from Ella City. He didn't expect Alex to be alive and killed many Level 10 Swordsmen last night.
The corner of the First Prince's lips emitted a thin grin. “The most annoying competitors are back. However, this will be interesting because the fool Lycus will provoke the anger of Alex,” murmured.
“I did not expect the Emperor would say that the incident happened because Alex took revenge on the Swordsmen who ambushed him four years ago, and making sure Alex will not attack the residents who were not involved with the event,” said the General sitting next to the First Prince.
“That's natural,” sahut First Prince. “Emperor knows the residents idolize Alex. To appease them, then he said it because the minds of ordinary people were very simple and easily manipulated.”
Not only ordinary people, the First Prince also managed to have a strong influence in the military because he imaged himself as a firm and courageous figure, so the military felt that the First Prince was suitable to lead the Hazel Empire.
The general sitting next to the First Prince finally understood why the Emperor did not hunt down Alex after Alex made a melee in Ella City.
“Are we going to invade Red Skull Island?” ask the General.
The First Prince shook his head and said, “Emperor told me to return to the Imperial Palace. I don't know what he was about to say, most likely the War against the Demon Kingdom will be postponed because the Emperor prefers to conquer the Orc Kingdom first.”
The general thought for a moment and said, “I will have the best level 10 Swordsman escort the First Prince's journey towards Ella City.”
He was worried that the Demon Kingdom ambushed the First Prince while sailing to the Hazel Empire, let alone the Devils were more in control of the terrain in the ocean than the Hazel Empire military forces used to fight on land.
