*Phew*… Finally, I was able to go through with the mass release. This month will become more and more hectic for me. And I will be in a half dead state in December (but there will be daily updates, don't worry).

Besides, we have 94 Golden Tickets now- which is quite surprising to me. But a promise is a promise. Another mass release coming in next week, and it will most probably be done in the earlier half of the week. Stay tuned!

"Fuck!"

*Smash!*

"Fuck!"

*Crash!*

"Fuck!"

*Bam!*

Leopold De Auras, the king of Aurgoth, was throwing stuff here and there. His eyes were bloodshot as he cursed his throat out.

"Adrian Darkheart!"

*Ding*

The closet made from pure gold fell on the crystalline floor of the room.

"You ruined everything!" He roared.

"Calm down, dear." A gorgeous woman who looked as if she were in her mid thirties walked up to the enraged king from behind and gently touched his shoulders.

The king turned around and raised his arm with the intent of slapping her in the face. But she did not flinch, even by a bit.

He heaved a long sigh as he took back his hand. "We are sorry, dear." He shook his head. The rage in his eyes calmed down, a bit of warmth took over. "Things are just… too messed up."

"It's okay." She smiled. "Sit down."

She pulled her to the only surviving furniture in the room, the bed made from Edgarwood tree- yes, the same Edgarwood tree that was exclusive to the Royal Family of Nemphis. But the kingdom did not get this exotic wood for free; they had to pay a hefty price.

Both of them sat down on the soft mattress. She took one of his hand and sandwiched it with those of her own, gently caressing it. "What's wrong?" She asked.

"Viper… he…" The king sighed. "He is dead."

"What?!" She knitted her brows. "How? He is… was… a peak level 8 circler. And his escaping skills were on par with level 9s."

"We are sure it was that bitch!" He clenched his other hand into a fist and slammed it on his own thigh. "Emilia!"

"Emilia?" Her brows furrowed further. "You are right. She is definitely able to kill Viper. But how are you so sure?"

"We were played!" He bellowed, rage enveloped her eyes and demeanour yet again. "That son of a bitch! Adrian Darkheart- it was his plan."

"The one that visited us a few days ago?" She shook her head. "You are overthinking. He-"

"He is only twenty?" He had a mocking smile on his face. "You have no idea. What we had to go through these last two years."

"Is he really that capable?" Her eyes were still frowned.

"Heh. We were too foolish. Firstly, he blackmailed us to promise him a large quantity of resources-large enough to negatively affect our operations. It prompted me to preemptively strike at him, killing him and destroying the contract. Moreover, we would be able to kill such a variable in our grand plans.

"But little did we know that it was all a part of his plan. Furthermore, he also took an unconventional route- through the Elesborg forest. The operation to kill him became much more easier. We became so much complacent that we forgot that this route was much closer to the Darkheart house than the highway.

"Adrian already had everything planned. He lured us to attack him in the forest. He had already requested her mother's presence before we even thought of attacking him. That brat… is too cunning… damn too dangerous."

The Queen opened her mouth. "If what you are saying is true, then the new Royal Advisor of Nemphis is indeed dangerous. What else did we lose? How much did it affect our plans?"

"We lost two more level 8s and we are also bound to lose a lot of resources. Thankfully, Umbra is still active. We just have to call her back from her duty in the Empire. She can easily fill in the gap Viper left. And with the resources we will have remaining, we can be barely ready in the next two years. But that is the least of our problems; the real trouble is-"

"That we have to answer for what happened at Elesborg forest."

"Yes. This case can bring our whole Kingdom to the ground." He sighed.

"Don't worry. My Recruz Kingdom will stay with you till the end." She smiled.

He smiled in return. "Yes, I trust you. Your niece, is she prepared?"

"Yes, she will graduate from the Academy next year and will be completely ready to be a bride of our family and the next Queen… or even more." She smirked.

"Yes… even more…" He sighed. "We just have to go through this ordeal."

"Just relax." She gripped his large hand harder. "Everything will be fine. Whatever happens, we will go through it together." She leaned her head on his shoulder.

*Knock. Knock.*

"Come in." He said.

The Queen did not bother to move her head away.

Two beautiful young ladies with identical faces came in.

"Greetings, Royal father, Royal mother." Both of them curtsied before sneakily scanning through the room.

"Hmm." The King nodded while the Queen showed a smile, her head was still on his shoulder.

"What brings you two here?" King Leopold looked at both of her beautiful daughters before fixing his eyes on the scroll on Resha's hand.

"Royal father." Resha stepped forward and brought forth the large scroll she had on her hands. "This was sent by the Royal family of Nemphis."

The Kings body grew stiff while the Queen sat upright. Their reactions caused the twins to furrow their brows.

He took the scroll from them and slowly opened it.

Both of the couple slowly read through the words one by one while the princesses stood still.

After a few seconds, all they could hear was their mother's gasp.

The King looked up at the ceiling and sighed.

"Adrian Darkheart, O Adrian Darkheart. What are you up to now?"
