The Throne Of Valor
Captain Lucius

The sky was blue, the sun was rising, and Princess Gwen's journey was now accompanied by the expanse of wheat fields belonging to the Kingdom of Hirendel.

Princess Gwen chose to walk, as Princess Gwen gave her chariot to her exhausted or sick soldiers.

While stepping her feet through the grass on the path, Princess Gwen turned her gaze upwards while thinking about Prince Edward.

In his mind, Princess Gwen said,

We will live each of our lives, then,

Putting on a white sheet with no shadow of you or me,

Live the story with a smile,

Even if the smile is fake.

It's not about how you feel, though,

It's not about how you get what you want,

But about how happy is painted on the blue of the universe.

You and I .. will never merge.

Princess Gwen took a deep breath, and smilingly stared at the surroundings.

Captain Jones, who knows Princess Gwen well, realizes that Princess Gwen is suffering.

It was painted from his pure smile that hid a universe filled with sadness.

Slowly, Captain Jones approached Princess Gwen and asked her, “Princess, look up.”

A bright blue stretch of sky was completely above their heads.

“What does the Princess see up there?” captain Jones asked as he watched Princess Gwen raise her eyes to the blue sky.

“A sky.”

“Not just the sky, up there are billions of stars and beautiful planets that are currently invisible because of the sunlight. That means that behind everything we see, all the problems that are in front of us, there is something beautiful waiting behind it. Princess just need to be patient.”

“Jones, you're right. Thank you.”

Captain Jones saw Princess Gwen start running around while stretching out her arms.

Princess Gwen also took the time to check the condition of her ailing soldiers, in her carriage.

The beauty, elegance, and sincerity of all that Princess Gwen has made the people around her love Princess Gwen.

The whole of the Kingdom of Victoria loved Princess Gwen very much.

…

The night before, in the Empress Kingdom, Saint’s Haven City.

*rek!

A dagger from the assassins now stuck in Edward's chest, and penetrated into Edward's lungs.

After being hit by an attack right into his lungs, Edward felt that his breathing was slowly becoming irregular.

In that gripping state, suddenly Queen Aerin and Penny appeared from the front of the alley while carrying their groceries.

“Hold it, Queen. Let me take care of.” Penny gives her groceries to Queen Aerin and runs through the dark alley there.

*wush

Penny leaped agilely towards the origin of the voice that was moving on top of her as Penny entered into the darkness.

*bruk!

Penny's right hand managed to hit the face of someone who was lurking above.

*bruk!

Again, Penny's right leg kicked her body until the assassins were thrown in front of the alley, just below the feet of Queen Aerin.

Queen Aerin raised her ring up, and a blue light illuminated the dark alley.

There were dozens of assassins lying around, and someone who fell down held his chest.

“Edward!” queen Aerin shouted and ran over to Edward who was still holding his chest.

There was a lot of blood pouring out of Edward's fingers.

Queen Aerin immediately hugged Edward and tried to heal the wide open wound on Edward's chest.

Queen Aerin's healing is only for the living, Queen Aerin can't bring the dead to life.

Queen Aerin felt the dagger piercing Edward's lungs until Edward's lungs became leaky.

“Wire! Hope you still have time!” murmured Queen Aerin with full concentration concentrating her healing magic onto Edward's body.

Although chatty and silly, Queen Aerin is not a whiny or timid figure.

Even when he saw that Edward did not have much time, Queen Aerin could still calm down and control his emotions so that the healing process was faster.

Suddenly, while trying to heal Edward, another group of assassins reappeared from the front of the alley.

“Queen, focus on healing Edward. I'll face them all!” penny looked at Queen Aerin and prepared to move forward.

“Be careful, they total 50 people!” reply Queen Aerin after feeling from her sensory magic.

“Even 1000 people is not a problem for me!”

*wush

At full speed, Penny lunged forward without the slightest sense of fear.

“Let's see your greatness!” penny muttered while swinging her hand towards the faces of those assassins.

*bruk!

One assassin was hit by a Penny's hand, causing him to bounce several meters.

A sharp dagger was pointing towards Penny's neck from behind him.

*bruk!

“Retreat all of you!” shouted one of the large-bodied assassins emerging from behind the line.

“She's mine!” he continued, clenching his hands towards Penny.

“Whispering!” muttered Penny while jumping up with her hand that was heading towards the burly man's face.

*Bruk!!!

*wush!

Penny's right-handed punch landed right on the man's face, yet the man did not bounce or falter at all.

The wind Penny generated when landing her punch on the man's face blew fiercely.

“What?!” penny thought in her mind when she saw the punch of her full strength did not shake the man at all.

*Tap

The man catches Penny's neck and lifts her up.

“Your punch is very painful! This is the first time I have received a blow this strong! But what a pity, you are nothing to me!” the man shouted looking at Penny with anger.

*bruk!

*wush!

Penny kicked the man in the face so that Penny's body slipped out of his grasp.

*Tap

Penny now landed on the ground and tried to find a gap to subvert this burly man.

Before Penny finished her analysis, the man ran towards her as fast as the wind blew.

*wush

A punch with tremendous damage power managed Penny avoid by sideways.

*Out!

The gust of wind produced the man's blow shattered the stone wall behind Penny.

“If his whole body is as strong as iron, then there are only 1 secret weakness of all men in this world,” Penny murmured in his heart after successfully dodging.

*wush

Again the man jumped at Penny.

*shelf!

Suddenly the hand punch that had the tremendous destructive power of the man was fended off by someone.

“Penny, step back and protect Queen Aerin who is healing Edward. Execute, this is an order!”

Penny sees a man who is actually a woman fending off the deadly attack with just one hand, giving her orders.

“Alright, Captain Lucius!” Penny runs to the back and tries to protect Queen Aerin.

While Penny was fighting with the ordinary assassins at the back, Captain Lucius clasped the man's hand firmly.

“Your strength can too. I'm flattered,” said Captain Lucius with a smile looking at the burly man.

All of the assassins and the man were shocked to see how the power that Captain Lucius had that deflected easily his attacks.

“I give you 1 more chance to swing your punch at me,” said Captain Lucius after removing his grip from the man's hand.

The man took a few steps back and prepared his punch again.

*Wush!!!

A strong wind followed the swing of the man's hand towards Captain Lucius' face.

*wush

Captain Lucius dodged leisurely while swinging one ‘small’ strike towards the man's iron-hard stomach.

*Bruk!!!

*Wush!!!

Captain Lucius' ‘small’ kick landed right in the burly man's stomach, and made him bounce far back.

“Weak.” Captain Lucius smiled and walked leisurely to help Penny fight.

But unfortunately, the assassins were suddenly frightened and retreated after seeing Captain Lucius knocking out their leader with just one casual punch.

Meanwhile, Queen Aerin slowly senses that Edward's lungs are recovering normally after Queen Aerin heals him.

But because treating the internal organs required a lot of energy, Queen Aerin slowly fainted shortly after Edward recovered.

*hap

Edward grabs Queen Aerin's body gently in his arms.

Smiling at his wife, Edward whispered in Queen Aerin's ear saying, “thank you. I love you, Aerin.”

Queen Aerin, who was about to faint, suddenly regained consciousness after hearing vaguely what Edward had said to her.

“What ... what did you say just now, Edward?” asked Queen Aerin with flushed cheeks looking at Edward who was holding her.

“Nothing. Ah, I just remembered that I bought you a gift,” replied Edward trying to evade.

“Hua! Edward you're kidding me again! Then I'll just faint again! Bye!” Queen Aerin fainted in Edward's arms.

Queen Aerin completely fainted from exhaustion to heal Edward's internal organs.
