Chapter 1190: Pull Out
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the report, everyone present showed a different reaction.
Kieran was as cold and calm as usual. Mary showed disgust while the Duke of Zilin showed contempt.
One needs to know that before the news got out, the old duke of Will sent an order officer to deliver a ssage to Mary, stating that the reinforcents he led were four days away from Riverdale, but two days after the victor was declared, the old duke was already 20 kiloters outside Riverdale.
“Traveling a four-day journey in two days, it seems like the old duke really knows how to lead his troops. His speed is very much “astonishing”,” said Mary with a heavy sneer.
Mary didn’t conceal her thoughts in front of Kieran, and as for the duke of Zilin beside her?
Well, whenever Mary saw Kieran, she automatically neglected everyone else’s existence.
“What are you going to do about it?” asked Kieran.
He didn’t plan to over-intervene in this matter because he was aware that Mary was the heir to Warren and, eventually, the queen of the land.
But Kieran?
It was impossible for him to stay at her side every single second.
“?” Mary slightly jolted. She instinctively wanted to hear advice from Kieran but the smart queen-to-be knew what was happening after a mont.
Kieran had been “away” twice before, and it was enough to beco a reminder for Mary.
Although she really wanted to travel with Kieran, her education and upbringing forbade her from abandoning her own duty.
Ambivalent, the young princess fell into deep thought, but soon enough, she discarded all those thoughts from her mind.
At least Kieran was in front of her, right?
So...
“I hope to et this old duke in person alone and reward him sohow,” said Mary. “Best to hold the eting in Riverdale,” she added after a slight pause.
Pak, Pak Pak.
Duke of Zilin clapped softly as his eyes on Mary showed admiration.
Splitting Old Duke Will and the 20,000 reinforcent troops in the na of reward to control both within her hands, it wasn’t really surprising for one to think of this approach, but considering Mary’s age, it was comndable.
“I’m quite looking forward to eting the old duke again. The last ti we t was like a few years ago,” the Duke of Zilin exclaid with a heavy sneer.
Since the start of the war, the young duke never worried about the old duke not showing up because...
Duke of Zilin looked at Kieran beside Mary and he suddenly felt sad for the old duke in his heart.
The old duke might be having a hard ti in choosing, right?
Would he allow soone beside him to control him? Or choose to confront a powerhouse that could rival an army?
It was a hard choice even for the young duke.
When the order officer carried the ssage back to the Old Duke of Will, a convoy slowly left Warren campsite.
The convoy consisted of the original Lightning Fortress’ guards as escorts while Kieran and the Duke of Zilin followed behind.
In the only wagon of the convoy, Jas VIII was lying down on a soft bed. His face was as pale as paper and turned even whiter under the sunlight.
Everyone could tell that the king was living on his last breath and might pass on any second now, but no one would voice out their concerns at the mont.
A grand victory was enough to cover many shortcomings.
Even though the king was once weak and an easy compromiser, all his flaws were covered by the glory of victory. At least he was still a king with rcy.
Mary was sitting in front of the soft bed, whispering and taking care of her father.
Kieran and Duke Zilin were riding beside the carriage.
“I hope to reach an agreent with you,” said Duke Zilin to Kieran as he seized the mont.
This ti, without Mary in the equation, the young duke spoke his mind.
“I hope to acquire the highest ultimate of Viper Sect. I know it’s a rude request but please believe , as I don’t an any harm. I just wish to borrow Viper Sect’s highest ultimate to succeed my family secret technique: snake ascending to dragon! This will be the only opportunity for to follow in my ancestors’ steps. Please agree to my request. In exchange, I will share all my family’s secret techniques and spells with you, and I can promise you three requests that won’t have dishonor House Zilin,” said the young duke with a sincere expression to Kieran.
Viper Sect’s highest ultimate?
Kieran jolted for a mont before he thought about the battle with the Prairies King. There, he had activated the attribute [Snake Molt] from [Ring of the Serpent King].
Without question, Duke Zilin seed to have had a misunderstanding at the scene, but Kieran wasn’t about to explain this to him.
Duke Zilin was just slightly better than a common stranger to Kieran, so he habitually reserved his opinion of the young duke, though he was quite interested in the secret techniques of House Zilin.
So, after so thought, Kieran said, “I need to think about it.”
“Of course! Think, think about it, important matters require more thinking!”
The young duke was overjoyed by the answer, for at least he wasn’t rejected right away.
The worst-case scenario didn’t happen, which ant that he had hope of fulfilling his wish as long as he presented sufficient sincerity!
The young duke then quietly made a decision in his heart when he got the answer.
Kieran didn’t care about Duke Zilin’s thoughts, but when Viper Sect was ntioned, Kieran thought about the escaped Viper Sect leader.
Through her, Kieran thought about the seven goatskin papers at the Prairies main camp.
Kieran was quite confident that she would not give up on the goatskin papers that easily, so, as long as they were used as bait, Perry Kaner would show.
Though, compared to bait and capture, Kieran had a better way.
Gawk!
When the order was sent out, Fire Raven, connected to Kieran through a special link, flew towards Riverdale like a bolt of lightning.
The Fire Raven may be magnificent, but it still couldn’t lock onto a target in a city with a hundred thousand population.
However, using Fire Raven the other way was completely viable. Fire Raven couldn’t lock onto a single target but soone would be able to lock onto Fire Raven instead, soone such as that person in Raven Sect!
The ambitious, yet lackluster, in terms of strength, Maxim would surely co to Kieran after he saw the Fire Raven. His character had already determined the outco.
Hence, it would be the perfect plan to use Maxim to search for Viper Sect.
Who else understood you more than your friend?
Your enemy!
Kieran didn’t believe that Raven Sect and Viper Sect, a pair of old rivals, didn’t watch each other’s movents from ti to ti.
The convoy safely arrived in Riverdale and entered the palace.
Likewise, a report ca into the palace just then.
“What did you say? The old duke of Will has been assassinated?”
Kieran raised a brow at the order officer before his eyes.
