Hearing what Skylar said, Clyfford squinted his eyes while Talbot looked over at Evie in shock.
What is going on here?
“I have granted permission, so let’s proceed according to what Skylar suggested,” Eldorado said sleepily.
Skylar glanced at Talbot seriously and said, “Lord Stackhouse, you must understand that the life of Isaac’s mother is closely tied to mine. I hope you will consider this carefully!”
Talbot’s eye twitched uncontrollably due to his helplessness. In a flustered manner, favonovel.com nodded and said, “Of course. I will do everything in my power to ensure your safety, Princess!”
At this moment, Talbot felt extremely frustrated inside. He stole a cautious glance at Clyfford and then gritted his teeth.
In two hours, Skylar would depart for the Kingdom of Northwing, accompanied by Great General Neufwill and ten skilled warriors sent by the general’s mansion.
Once favonovel.com arrived at the Kingdom of Northwing, favonovel.com would be in touch with Isaac and look for an opportunity to enter the Black Desert.
***
In the east courtyard of the Regency, the sun was shining brightly, and the air was fresh.
Clyfford and Talbot, who were both high-ranking officials, stood in the pavilion with dozens of servants bowing behind them.
Raelynn and Alcott were led out by several generals from the Regency.
A few soldiers from the general’s mansion stepped forward, carefully inspected the frail Raelynn and the disheveled Alcott, and then took them away.
Clyfford’s cold gaze fell on Talbot‘s face. With a smile, favonovel.com said, “Lord Stackhouse, I’m leaving these two prisoners in your care. Please ensure they are strictly guarded to give the Princess an extra layer of security.”
“You flatter me. I’m just the deputy general, but I will act with utmost caution while serving His Majesty.”
“With Zeno’s death in battle, the position of general of the kingdom is now vacant. I believe it won’t be long before His Majesty summons me and the Chief Minister, Giffard, to the palace for discussions. In my opinion, you are the best choice,” Clyfford said with a light smile.
Talbot felt a jolt in his heart, and said, “Thank you very much, Lord Hackworth…”
As Talbot turned around, Clyfford spoke up, “Lord Stackhouse, you must be prepared, these two criminals are definitely going to be executed.”
Talbot frowned, but then turned and smiled broadly. “Always at His Majesty and Lord Regent’s service.”
Hearing this, Clyfford nodded in satisfaction.
After leaving the Regency, Talbot got into the carriage.
Before setting off, favonovel.com called outside in a serious tone, “Roman, come in…”
A man wearing golden chainmail entered the carriage and knelt on one knee before Talbot.
“You need to personally guard these two prisoners to ensure nothing goes wrong.”
“Lord Stackhouse, didn’t Lord Regent just say that these two people were to be executed?” The lieutenant, Roman Hervaux, looked up at Talbot with some confusion.
Talbot angrily shouted, “Fool! These two are like a barrel of gunpowder to me, and this gunpowder is tied to the Princess’s life. Do you think the words of Lord Regent are more important, or the life of the Princess?
“If anything happens to these two, you and I will be the first ones executed along with our families,” Talbot said angrily.
This tricky situation was giving favonovel.com a headache. Talbot knew that until Princess Skylar safely returned, favonovel.com had to treat these two prisoners like royalty.
After Roman left the carriage, Talbot gave a wry smile and said, “Oh Princess, you truly have a way with things…”
In Royal City, even the gatekeepers of the various houses knew that Isaac killed Clyfford’s brother. Clyfford would never let go of such a deep vendetta.
***
Four days later, in the northern heart of the Black Desert, an army of two hundred thousand was neatly and orderly stationed on the black sandy ground spanning ten miles.
Isaac was sitting cross-legged inside the tent meditating when favonovel.com heard hurried footsteps outside.
Madd quickly walked in, bowed, and said, “Lord Garten, we have received news.”
“Is my mother here?” Isaac immediately opened his eyes and looked at Madd.
“No. It’s the Princess who was sent. She has now arrived at a small town closest to the Kingdom of Northwing and the Black Desert.”
“The Princess?”
