Chapter 1878 Three Sides of the War (Part 2)

"Whenever you have to make a difficult decision, remember my words. Remember how much is at stake." Sylpha said.

Kamila's heels clicked as she gave the Queen the salute and walked out of the Throne Room.

'I remember the three years I spent with Lith very well, but I also remember his words in the barn. He said that he loved me, putting me in the past. Ever since his escape, he never tried to contact me.

'Jirni and her daughters receive regular updates through Faluel whereas I'm left out of the loop. I know what I have to do, yet I pray the gods will give me the strength to go through with it.' She thought.

The voice of the Queen still echoed through Kamila's head, making her clench her fists so hard that they bled.

Her family and her job were all her life. Protecting them was a mission that she needed no order to pursue at all costs.

Nestrar Region, a mana geyser near the south border, Golden Griffon Academy.

After finishing checking Lith's properties, Orpal went back to celebrate with the Mad Queen. He carried a bottle of expensive wine and a box full of sweets that he was certain she would enjoy.

'I may have not beaten Leech physically, but I've still driven him out of the Kingdom and destroyed his life. Now that I've proven my worth and cunning, Thrud must have changed her mind about me.' He thought, still believing to have a chance with her.

Thrud was the most beautiful woman the Dead King had ever seen and he considered himself the most perfect man on Mogar, making them a match made in heaven.

He had even brought Moonlight along, willing to allow her to spend a bit of time studying the tower if she agreed on spending as much time alone with him. Despite his repeated failures, Orpal was nothing if not tenacious.

Yet he found the main gate missing. The double doors of the academy seemed to have simply disappeared, replaced by a solid wall. Orpal circled the entire structure, finding no access or a way to communicate.

"I demand an audience with the Queen!" He snarled.

"The Golden Griffon is closed today, Dead King." The hologram of Headmaster Sevenus Hystar appeared in front of him. "The Queen is in the middle of an important experiment and can't be disturbed."

"What experiment?" For a moment, his curiosity surpassed his anger.

"I'm not at liberty to say." Hystar replied, vanishing as quickly as he had appeared.

"This is bullshit, we are equal allies! I demand-" A sudden Warp Gate led him to the middle of the ocean, where the shock of surprise and the weight of his armor made him plunge into the abyss.

Moonlight was still there so the Headmaster used all the spells at his disposal and conjured the best Forgemasters of Thrud's army to study the steed before its master recalled it.

Meanwhile, inside the Golden Griffon, Thrud, Linnea, and Jormun were working together, commenting on Orpal's performance.

"Gods, that guy is a creep. I don't want to meet him ever again." After Awakening, Anela Linnea had used Body Sculpting to return her body to the youthful appearance she had in her thirties, making her a target of the Dead King's unwanted attentions.
