For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 28

Realizing that the wave of kisses suddenly stopped, the blonde woman opened her eyes to find her partner looking dumbfounded staring at a certain direction, she followed his gaze to meet eye on eye with the extremely shocked, disgusted, scared and confused Everly.

The woman instantly jolted up:" Everly!!".

Hearing her name being called by the same mouth that was making bizarre noises as if they were slurping on pumpkin juice, Everly couldn't endure it anymore and vomited all the food Jennings just fed her.

The man asked in shock:" you know her?".

" yeah, she is my sister..... probably ".

Seeing Annasophy walking towards her with a worried expression, Everly tried to escape, she really can't look at her in the eyes.

With an exhausted body, Everly dragged herself for a few steps before tripping on a little rock and fainting.

Annasophy:".......".

The other dude:"........, we should do something ".

Annasophy:" oh, yes....... We should ".

After dusk, Lennox lazily climbed out of his bed, and as usual, the first thing he will do was to head to the dining hall.

His stomach has the most property in life.

Unexpectedly the palace was in unnoticeable chaos, some were laughing, some were sighing, some looked depressed. Even though everyone's expressions and poses were schooled the moment he would appear in their sight, Lennox still could sense that something happened.

He quietly entered the hall to find another unexpected scene.

At the edge of the long luxurious table sat Jennings with awkward expression, behind him stood Carson looking pitiable, one of his eyes were swollen and his face was full of scratches and Bruising.

While on the far opposite edge, was Everly, she looked like as if one touch and she will cry, by her side Rachel softly trying to soothe her. Since Lennox was basically raised by Rachel, he clearly knew the reason for this suffocating atmosphere.

Rachel has entered the dangerous mama mood.

Which mean, something happened to Everly, and the culprits were Jennings and Carson, but since Jennings was the Emperor Rachel wouldn't do anything to him. Well, on the other hand, Carson wasn't untouchable and that explains his condition.

Lennox silently walked to the middle of the table, not close nor far of any sides. And while the dinner was being served to him, Jennings broke the long-lasted silence.

Jennings:" Son, I know you have just done one, but there is another task for you".

Lennox said irritated:" hey, I am not your errand boy".

Jennings:" yeah I know, but I still need you to be the one to handle it".

Since there was a lot of servants, Lennox tightened his heart and ate his food slowly and mannerly, looking all high and mighty, one would never guess how he acted when no one was looking. However, his tongue still stings either way.

Lennox nonchalantly asked:" do you have no shame? Letting your ten years old child do your duty!! And here I thought that this land was against child labour".

With a blank expression, Jennings said: "three thousand golds".

And an instant response came from Lennox:" deal. What do you want ".

Jennings took a sip of his wine then gestured to Carson. The later briefly explained: "at the southern border, there is a city called Yusfin, an A-class beast invaded it and cast a mist formation. As lady Everly said, the beast is a single-eyed Shol and it's unlikely to be alive ".

Lennox commented:" indeed, the single-eyed Shols are one of the few beasts who can cast a mist formation. And if it really was one, then I doubt that it is alive ".

He turned to the other side to praise Everly, however, she was already done drinking that soup she was struggling with and climbed on Rachels' arms sobbing. Seeing her distressing status Lennox subconsciously blurted:" just what the hell happened to her".

Rachel patted Everlys' back couple of times before answering in Incensed tone:" you see your highness, there were two empty-headed idiots who fed my little Everly, god knows how much until she fainted. The poor girl kept vomiting for an hour, even hallucinating about some demonic rituals at the yard".

Lennox stole a glance at the two idiots and both looked gloomy.

He didn't ask any further, and without saying anything else Rachel quietly left the hall with Everly.

After a while of awkward silence, Lennox said with a sincere tone:" you both are dumb as fuck".

Jennings sighed:" you don't have to tell me about it".

Lennox crossed his arms saying:" so what exactly do you want me to do? The beast is dead".

Carson:" as your highness said, the beast is dead but the palace magicians said that it will take them a few days to break the formation, and we are still not sure about the commoners' circumstances. Also, a certain gentleman has sent a considerable number of knights but none returned".

Lennox interrupted in outrage:" Is this a joke? 'Cause if it is, then that's not funny ".

Carson quickly explained apologetically:" my apologies your highness, but it is not. We are quite earnest in this matter ".

Lennox wore a very bewildered expression, unbelievably saying:" what kind of fuck-heads sends people into a mist formation? It's called mist formation because no one outside can get inside, and no one inside can go outside. Those who forcefully try to break it will end up running in circles, like a dog chasing its tail. Even dumbest magician knows that".

Jennings indifferently said:" it was Marquis Ruess".

Hearing that name, Lennox regained his composure and calmly said: "well, that actually makes sense ".

Jennings: "hn, indeed ".

Lennox: "so I guess I have to break the formation and make sure the people are alive ".

Jennings nodded:" it is as you said ".
