The Goddess of Revenge
Caught

Krystal wakes up from a deep sleep and finds a letter left by Julian on her desk.

“Sorry, I have to go and don't look for me for a while.”

A piece of paper containing a sentence that made Krystal shocked, the sound of a bad feeling approaching his feelings. There was a glimpse of the shadow that Julian was in a painful condition, and he immediately went out of the room to tell Julian the blur. The sound of Krystal's footsteps running along the hallway made the inhabitants of Primrose Palace wake up, especially the concubines who had not slept in the least to make plans.

“Your Majesty, what happened? Where are you going to wear those pajamas?” tanya Ash ran over to Krystal.

“Jeez, why are you guys in the same room? Ahh it's not important! I was gonna ask, do you guys know where Julian went? She left this letter in my room,” Krystal panicked and gave her letter to Ash.

Together they read a letter from Julian, indeed since yesterday they felt there was something strange about Julian's actions. Even Krystal felt the same way, during the last few days Julian's strange behavior was increasingly visible to the eye. Krystal and the concubines asked Julian, but he always replied that he was fine. However, from this letter, Krystal was increasingly convinced that something bad had happened to Julian.

“I'll go look for Julian.” Without a second thought, Krystal set her foot on the road to find where Julian was. However, Lucio blocked Krystal's path from going any further.

“You mustn't be rash, Your Majesty, we must find out where Julian must be. We do not know what kind of danger will hinder, so please calm your mind and we find a solution together,” said Lucio.

“Your enemies are everywhere, you should know best about it, we don't want you to get hurt or get caught in the trap of the enemy,” Austin added.

“You must rely on us often and do not make yourself act alone, it will be very dangerous if you go alone. When something bad happens to you, we will not be able to do anything,” Ash timpal said.

Krystal relaxed for a moment her raging thoughts, what the three of them said was indeed true. Right now outside the palace, there were hundreds of enemies waiting for Krystal, no one knew what kind of enemy would stand in his way later. Almost drowning himself in carelessness, fortunately the concubines were there to help clear his mind.

“Then what should we do now? My head is full and cannot be invited to think.” Clearly visible traces of worry on Krystal's face, her dim mimic hints that she is currently at the most tired point of all life's problems that never find the perfect ending.

“Your Highness, relax for a moment the veins of your mind, we are here to help you through all the problems that exist. Please depend on us, so let's think together,” Shion said embracing Krystal's shoulder.

Krystal let out a long sigh, and they made haste to hold a meeting together to discuss Julian's matter. At the end of the table Krystal stood with a very serious face, Vicenzo at the door glancing left right making sure no traitors were wandering there. Heros installed soundproof magic and the safeguards were strong enough for the room they were in, he did not want their conversation to leak out.

“Cleon where? We should just take him,”, Krystal said suddenly.

“No need, Cleon seems a bit busy lately, we better handle this problem,” the pretext of Heros.

“Oh okay, alright.”

They began a very serious conversation, for now no one knows where Julian is.

“Can Julian go back to Midland? But, he left without saying goodbye, meaning something happened to him but he couldn't tell us,” Austin said.

Krystal thought for a moment of turning her memory to a few days before, “I sensed there was a strange flow of magic in Julian's body, a kind of forbidden spell, but I didn't know for sure what kind of spell it was. However, I suggested Julian left because of the spell, it is likely that Julian would return to Midland,”.

“Mantra banned? Is there someone who put the spell on Julian's body? What was the purpose of casting the forbidden spell? To curb Julian or how?” heros wondered.

Krystal's eyes are perfectly rounded, “I know! Looks like the spell was installed by his own family.”

“What is Julian's relationship with his family not good?” ask Vincenzo in wonder.

Shion replied, “Yes, I've heard rumors that the birth of the third Prince is wreaking havoc for the Midland Empire, because it all started there. Since Julian's birth, Midland has suffered a great decline, talented people have mysteriously disappeared, and the nobles have begun to casually appeal to the little people. Now the only ones who live there are nobility, while the small people live to suffer every day.”

“It is likely that the talented people did not disappear, but were hidden because there were insiders who did not like his Emperor's rule so that they would create a conflict that triggered a split in the imperial territory. One way is to divert all those problems to the newborn Julian,” Ash added.

“We'll think about that later, so now the main goal is to Midland, right? Then we start from there,” said Austin embraced by others.

...***...

Right now in the middle of a lush forest, more precisely the forest that Krystal had been through when she had gone to Archer before, Cherry and Bleas slipped into the hiding place of the group of white robed people. They were on a secret mission from Krystalia's mother with the aim of destroying the magic stones that gather human spirit energy. Carefully they try not to be caught by others.

“Cherry, we must quickly complete this task. This spirit energy gathering magic stone will be a great threat to His Majesty in the future, we must not let His Majesty trouble alone,” Bleas whispered.

“Yes, I know that, we have to destroy it, but don't you think the atmosphere of this place is too calm?”

Both of them felt an unnatural calmness, but soon they ignored that indistinctness. They flew slowly towards where the spirit energy gathering magic stone was located, the originally clear magic stone, was now filled with pitch-black spirit energy. As they know, it was used to increase strength unnaturally.

“I guessed it, you two weren't on our side in the first place, and now you mean to destroy that magic stone?”

Cherry and Bleas are shocked, they turn their bodies back and find Olin with Cleon watching the two.

“We got caught, but it doesn't matter, because we don't work for you. We just pretended to be spies to see who the real enemy was,” Bleas retorted.

“Not a problem, we were already on guard from the beginning if you guys didn't really betray that woman. Starting from here, we will not let you run away just like that, this place will be a graveyard for you.”
