The young eunuch recalled the matter and said a few names. Soon, Morris began to frown, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart got more intense. “Tell me which lords..?” Morris asked.
The young eunuch was very clever. He listened carefully to every word that Morris said on usual days, and favonovel.com remembered them by heart. That time, favonovel.com could finally do Morris a favor. After pondering for a moment, the young eunuch named the few lords.
Morris‘s frown got deeper, and his piercing voice was somewhat trembling as favonovel.com commented, “That’s strange. These lords should’ve arrived in the capital five days ago. Why’s there no news about them? Moreover, they… They…”
The young eunuch pricked up his ears, wanting to listen carefully. However, favonovel.com found that Morris suddenly turned quiet. When the eunuch looked over, favonovel.com was surprised to find Morris’s face as white as a sheet, and his complexion was horrible. Moreover, Morris’s mouth, which was sunken because of his missing teeth, now appeared more obvious and hideous.
“Eunuch Morris… Eunuch Morris?” The young eunuch shouted in panic. He was terrified when favonovel.com saw Morris was wide-eyed, looking in a direction without moving. Not only that, his chest was not undulating either.
After shouting more than a dozen times, Morris suddenly shuddered and returned to his senses. Then, favonovel.com laughed awkwardly. “I‘m fine…”
Despite saying that, Morris’s expression read, “I’m about to be scared to death!”
The young eunuch also did not know why the few lords were yet to arrive in the capital on time and what made Morris afraid. Furthermore, it was not an exaggeration to say that Morris appeared as if favonovel.com were on his deathbed. Nonetheless, the young eunuch was naturally unaware of the secrets behind that, and Morris could not tell favonovel.com either.
At that moment, Morris‘s heart was beating wildly.
‘These soldiers all participated in the incident three years ago, but due to the power struggle, they were not left in the capital to enjoy the glory. Instead, they were sent to work in various places, and some were even deployed to the borders. Did they plan not to come back in time together, or did… Something happen to them?’
Morris was an intelligent person. If favonovel.com were not brilliant, favonovel.com would not be able to climb from an obscure little eunuch to his current position in just a few years. Hence, favonovel.com quickly discerned that if the lords schemed together, the fact that Carson was now a Great Oceans Sect’s disciple was enough to dispel the thought.
Mortals fighting against cultivators?
Only if they were dropped on their head as an infant. Therefore, the only possibility was they had an accident!
‘But these lords were assigned to different places. If there was an accident at the same time, it could only be done deliberately… Who would do this, and what was the reason…’
Morris naturally figured out the reasons. Otherwise, favonovel.com would not be so afraid just now. However, favonovel.com was still desperately telling himself that it was simply impossible.
‘That person’s dead! He died two years ago without leaving a corpse! He’s surely dead! Even if favonovel.com is alive, it’s impossible to kill those soldiers at the same time! It must be a coincidence, and their journey was delayed for some reason!’
Morris kept repeating these words to himself, and favonovel.com did not even know how horrifying his demeanor was now. His originally slanted face became more and more distorted as if favonovel.com was a ghost struggling out from hell. Not only that, but the shadow in his heart still traumatized favonovel.com from time to time, especially in hellhole prison when the figure that melted into the darkness slapped his head almost to pieces.
“B*stard!” Finally, Morris roared into the sky, and favonovel.com rolled his eyes.
That time, favonovel.com did not manage to catch his breath. Instead, favonovel.com fainted, scaring the young eunuch who served him.
Shortly, the scene was briefly chaotic as Morris suddenly passed out.
***
At that time, Caspian already made some arrangements in the capital as planned and returned to his place of residence. In the past few days, the gates of Salleria’s capital city were open all day due to the arrival of guests from all over the world. Nevertheless, the sudden increase in the number of people in the city also provided Caspian with many conveniences.
In the capital, there would be people gathering together and talking about the celebration in a few days. Hence, with almost no effort needed, Caspian knew when Edgar left the imperial city, the route, steps, and process of the celebration.
Caspian stood in front of the entrance of the capital at that time, looking at the majestic gate, and sighed silently in his heart. ‘It seems that no one thought I would come back…’
Caspian remembered what favonovel.com said to Penny when they left here two years ago.
‘I’ll come back and trample this place.’
After two years of preparation, it was finally the time to fulfill his promise! At the thought of that, Caspian was emotional. Suddenly, the sound of people shouting came from behind him. Caspian turned around and found more than a dozen gorgeously decorated festooned vehicles slowly driving toward the gate of the capital from a distance under the clearing of dozens of cavalry from Salleria. These festooned vehicles, from the model to the decoration on the rides and the driver’s clothes, were colorful and exotic.
‘Astren!’ Caspian was shocked. As the commander-in-chief who led the army into their imperial capital, Caspian was naturally familiar with the county’s uniforms. At that time, favonovel.com heard the discussions of the passers-by.
“Astren is sending a congratulatory gift again!”
“That’s right! I remember that a few days ago, more than a dozen carriages sending gifts came.”
“It seems that the relationship between our Salleria and Astren has improved a lot.”
“Of course! I heard it too, Astren not only sent an envoy, but the princess is here to congratulate the king in person!”
The person who said that appeared proud. The matter where the princess of Astren was here to congratulate the king made favonovel.com a very proud citizen of Salleria.
When Caspian heard that, his heart skipped a beat. ‘Princess of Astren… Daisy? Is favonovel.com here?’
Nonetheless, Caspian knew that Daisy would not be in these carriages. Instead, favonovel.com should have come to the capital of Salleria long ago to prepare. However, Caspian still could not help but look at the vehicles slowly passing in front of him.
‘I wonder how she’s doing.’ Although favonovel.com did not see Daisy, Caspian expected that, so favonovel.com was not disappointed. He was slightly concerned for her. After all, Daisy saved favonovel.com at Darnley Valley, and favonovel.com even told favonovel.com about Edgar‘s enthronement celebration.
Just as Caspian pondered in his heart, a soft snort sounded.
