Chapter 3029 Common Enemy (Part 1)

"Do you need assistance?" The King asked. "If it's a political or diplomatic matter the Kingdom has your back. I can send you our minister for foreign affairs in a minute."

"Thanks, Your Majesty, but it won't be necessary." Lith gave the King a polite bow. "It's a private matter regarding the sighting of Meln Narchat in Jiera. Please, inform our troops to be on alert and keep Night's destruction spell at the ready."

He had no idea if the self-destruction spell would still work, but it could buy the people of the Kingdom precious time.

If Night made a move before her power core had the time to adjust to the changes, there was a good chance that the spell would still work or at least cause her serious damage.

'I wish I could tell Meron about Dusk and the powers that Night might gain after assimilating his crystal, but then it would become a political mess. The Kingdom would blame the Empire for aiding and abetting a Horseman.

'Even worse, the Crown might try to take Night's crystal for themselves or destroy it.'

Lith gave the King a doctored version of the story where Night had attacked one of the Empire's mining towns and killed its colonists.

"The Empress wants my advice on how to deal with Night since I'm one of the few people who has survived multiple confrontations with her."

"How do you know that if she doesn't even have your contact rune?" The story made sense but it didn't explain how Lith could know so much.

"Leegaain." Lith shrugged. "He passed the messages but he's tired of playing middleman."

"I see." Meron nodded. "Thank Lord Leegaain on my behalf for not Warping his disciple without my consent. The Kingdom appreciates the efforts of the Lord of Wisdom to keep the peace between our countries. Meron out."

"Damn if you are good at making up bullshot on the spot." Milea and Leegaain said in unison, neither needing the Guardian's auto-correct.

The Empress walked to Kelia and knelt in front of her. Much to Milea's surprise, instead of throwing her arms at her, crying, or having any emotional reaction, the young girl shied away.

Kelia made herself small and hid behind Elina.

"I'm sorry. Even with your warnings and teachings, I failed my missions." Kelia looked at the Empress and Lith, feeling like she had failed the former and betrayed the latter. "I let Meln take me by surprise. I let him take Dusk away from me.

"What's wrong, daughter?" Milea's voice was calm and soothing.

Kelia opened her mouth to speak, but she ended up crying. It took her a few minutes to compose herself enough to make sense.

"I'm sorry. Even with your warnings and teachings, I failed my missions." Kelia looked at the Empress and Lith, feeling like she had failed the former and betrayed the latter. "I let Meln take me by surprise. I let him take Dusk away from me.

"I'm useless to you now."

The Empress furrowed her brows in confusion for a second until the meaning of those words dawned on her.

"Do you really think that I'd throw you away just because you are not a Horseman anymore? That I'd disown you and make you an orphan again?"

Elina didn't know Kelia's story, but from that exchange, it was clear that the adoption was just on paper and there was no love between mother and daughter. It was a business deal that an adult in a position of authority had imposed on a child. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}
