19 Under the hood
There. An abundant scene of silence. A death of Fifth Class Knight and his bootlicker. A Death in battle is honourable. A Death in an attempt, is chivalrous. but dying in a beast mouth, is just cruel.
Shadow Mox just finished Byron. It didn't even spend a second to ignore the dead corps and turn to Alden submissively and walked to him with its four paws, crouched down and rested its head to the floor. With full eyes hallow wide to the others. Resembling a panther watching its pry's before jumping for them. Specifically the hooded person.
~now, on to the next agenda~ the humanoid shadow spoke while turning to the front. He did not seem to care for Lukas and the others. In fact, he was not worried even if the others decided to flee. A hunt is not hunt unless the prey decided to run.
In his eyes. Luckas, Gwen, and Watt are already on the chopping board. This matter would be settle now or latter.
But he decided to focus on the one who should not be here. Since Alden was the variable to Byron's plan, and now that Alden killed him. Alden too, felt that hooded person is a variable to his plan.
Tracking back to the night, before the deceased Alden died, he overheard Lukas and Gwen chatting about the meeting plan with Bryon. After Albert had beaten him till satisfactory, they all took him to his room to heal his wounds, face full of worries. But it was all sugar coated lies.
Little did they know. while they were in his room celebrating and confessing their sins aimlessly, the deceased Alden was on his metamorphosis stage, where only his body that stood still not his consciousness. Therefor the deceased Alden knew everything about tonight before he died.
[A blunt regret for those fools]
[A regret that he was not able to do anything about until today]
[system, show me the status of that hooded person] he thought

[This princess is dangerous but if can get my hands on that gem]
Trying to stop himself from excitement and break character, Alden focused.
[Wait Mabel? Where did I hear that name?]
[that's right, princess Mabel Ed Skylar, one of the seven. I read about her in the archives]
[what is she doing here in Summer city unannounced?] he thought
In the library at of the castle. where Alden spent his entire years inside escaping. He not only read about magic but also about this country political head counts.
In this country called Kingdom of Edan,
A vast country with a population of 24 million humans.
Bordered between a sea to the North, a wide river to the South, huge, open plains to the East and rich forests to the West, the country of Edan mainly lives off blacksmithing, cooking and farming, baking, trade, wood production. Off Course the one stands above dominance is Magic.
the country's landscape is enjoyable; relaxing hot springs, dramatic mountain views and pink blossom forests are just a sliver of the grace Edan has to offer, which is why the country is embraced among foreigners.
The people of Edan are charitable towards foreigners and tend to welcome them with a hearty meal. They feel foreigners could bolster the country's wellbeing. Edan has rigid laws and law enforcement, which is quite normal. The people are pacifistic due to a harmonious way of life, thanks to advanced techniques learned by passing travellers.
The country is mainly also controlled by the kingdom's ruler. The Ed Skylar family, a very old clan like family who would do anything to stay in control.
Lately, rumours heard that the political situation is spinning out of country due to the king old age. The king has 7 children from different women. 4 princes and 3 princesses. With how the political family are. The Seven have already started to fight for the throne before the king died.
