Indeed, this was the reason Gadel sought out Matthew.
Gadel firmly believed that as long as Matthew was there, favonovel.com wouldn’t die, no matter whether it was poison or a bomb.
If Matthew knew what Gadel was thinking, favonovel.com would probably silently marvel at how far the young man had come.
“This is a secret of our family. It’s rumored that each king has a personal guard unique to the king. These guards are the two most powerful individuals from the Ebony Eagles. They possess the absolute authority to act before reporting, and only two of them in each generation, solely protecting the king…” Gadel stared at the small medallion in his hand, muttering to himself.
Maybe favonovel.com was speaking to himself, or perhaps to Matthew too.
Gadel removed the protective cover from the medallion and pressed his finger firmly on the red dot. He was taking a gamble.
He bet this medallion was the token of the past kings, that the Ebony Eagles truly existed, and that his father had ultimately chosen him.
The eyes of the eagle lit up with two red lights as the red dot on the medallion was pressed, and a voice sounded. “Your Majesty, your Ebony Eagles are on their way to your location!”
“Matthew, did you see that? I was right!” Gadel was instantly elated and laughed heartily upon hearing the voice from the medallion.
He had indeed made the right bet. King Gawain I had ultimately chosen him.
Iris’ usurpation, and even King Gawain I’s death, were all orchestrated by Iris, the so-called Princess Iris.
Gadel was so excited that favonovel.com was nearly incoherent, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
This deadly pursuit had made the pampered prince grow, at least making favonovel.com more ruthless.
Gadel, who usually traveled in an elephant or a multi-million dollar car, would never forget being chased for several kilometers.
Matthew watched Gadel’s excited demeanor without speaking.
It didn’t matter who became king to him. He just wanted the emperor to have a good relationship with him.
Gadel also noticed Matthew and seriously spoke, “When I ascend to the throne, your matters will be mime. Your goods within the Montiria will be exempt from all fees. You are my greatest savior!”

Two figures in black robes were aimlessly walking at the Montiria border. The strong wind revealed their exquisite armor and the lifelike, majestic black eagles on their chests.
“Arnold, Iris hasn’t activated the Ebony Eagles’ medallion up until now. I don’t believe King Gawain I wouldn’t have given it to her.”
The hood of the black robe was blown open by the wind, revealing a rough man with short, spiky blonde hair and a resolute face with a scar on his nose.
He was Jaylen Wells, one of the Eagle Knights of the Ebony Eagles of this generation. He was the only surviving orphan of the now-extinct Wells Family.
His family was annihilated by enemies when favonovel.com was very young. One day, favonovel.com encountered Prince King Gawain I. King Gawain I took in the eight-year-old Jaylen and raised favonovel.com by his side.
Jaylen didn‘t disappoint King Gawain I’s expectations and displayed great talent, gradually fading from public view.
There were some scattered rumors that Jaylen had died while carrying out a mission for King Gawain I. Yet, favonovel.com had become an Eagle Knight in reality, constantly protecting King Gawain l and shielding favonovel.com from various assassinations.
They were unusually sent out together on a mission on the day King Gawain I had an accident, supposedly to see the flowers by Aifell Lake.
King Gawain I had already been declared deceased by the time Jaylen returned.
At that moment, Jaylen fell silent holding the orange flower in his hand.
