Heavenly Saga

Chapter 26: Hertfordshire City

The battle continued until the escorts of Kraftvoll and Belle were able to overcome their enemies in terms of power.

They tried to kill all of the enemies but someone escaped their grasps.

Only 25 percent of the soldiers, who were assigned as escorts to Kraftvoll, were left alive after the ambush attack by the enemy.

The first sneak attack cost the soldier escorts half of their forces, while the remainder of the battle cost them half of the remaining soldiers.

This situation made them want to haste more to the next city, Hertfordshire, which is governed by another Early of the Walkiria Kingdom known as Earl Alard le Bourbon.

Although this Earl didn't have any special to neither Earl Blaire nor Earl Garen, they were certain that they will be able to receive his assistance, after all, Kraftvoll was the only student taken by the king of the Kingdom.

"Are you two okay?" Ross inquired to the kids.

"Yes, we're grateful to you, sir Ross," Belle replied.

While the other two were talking, Kraftvoll was spacing out because of what he had just realized. 'So I am the reason that they attacked.' this thought repeated in his mind. "Hey, Kraftvoll!" Belle shouted to Kraftvoll, "Sir Ross just saved us, you will not say anything?"

After hearing Belle, Kraftvoll snapped out of his deep thoughts and said, "Thank you for saving us, sir Ross."

"It is my duty to do so. By the way, we're going to depart immediately. We never know when the next attack will happen." said Ross. The two kids nodded in agreement.

The Earl's younger brother, Ross, sent some of his soldiers to bring the bodies of the dead to their family and immediately departed in haste.

A day had passed since the attack, they finally got out of the Valkyrie forest.

As soon as they entered the territory of Hertfordshire city, they hasten their way to the manor of the territory's Earl to ask for assistance.

After a couple of hours, they finally reached their destination in the city.

"Please tell the Earl that the second brother of the Earl of Yorkshire City is asking for an audience."

After a few minutes, the guard finally got the approval of the Earl to let them in. "The Earl has approved of your request for an audience. You may come in." After the guard said that, they opened the gate.

After getting off the carriage, the butler of House Bourbon greeted them, "Greetings! His Lordship, the Earl, is in this way. Please follow me."

They followed the butler to the Earl's office. When they were at its door, the butler said, "Your Lordship, your visitors are here."

"Let them in." Earl Alard commanded.

"Greetings, Your Lordship!" Kraftvoll and the others greeted.

"So what brings you all here?" asked the Earl of Hertfordshire.

Ross explained everything that happened to Earl Alard.

"I see, I understand your current situation but I don't have enough men to spare to assist you in your journey."

"Your Lordship, this is very important. If this Kid were ever kidnapped or killed, all of our heads will be flying because of His Majesty's wrath," said Ross in his attempt to urge the Earl in helping.

This made the Earl shocked. 'So this is that rumored kid, huh.' he thought to himself.

"Very well, I think I can spare some few men to aide you on your journey. Also, I'll send my younger brother to assist you." said the Earl.

"Thank you, Your Lordship!" Kraftvoll and the others responded in response to the benevolence of the Earl.

"According to what you have said earlier, you better leave immediately. I'll immediately order my men to prepare. I wish you good luck on your journey."

As the Earl said earlier, he ordered his men to also escort Kraftvoll and Belle with the remaining soldiers of Yorkshire City and Ross to the royal capital.

After resting for a little bit, they immediately continued their journey.
