Ch. 38 'Under Attack (1)'

In the evening, the king and his wife ate together with their two children. Xiao Yue didn't like eating carrots at all, as she liked potatoes and meat. Therefore, every time she had a carrot menu, she always gave the carrot to her brother and took his brother's potatoes instead.

Coincidentally today's dinner menu had carrots. This time before Xiao Yue gave her brother the carrots, Xiao Yang had already taken her carrots first and gave all his potatoes and some meat to Xiao Yue. Yet her nosy brother left two pieces of carrots on her plate.

Xiao Yue took two carrots with her chopsticks to give them to her brother, but Xiao Yang immediately put away his plate.

"You have to eat it. Carrots are healthy for your body. You just got a bunny doll from father after all. The rabbit's favorite food is carrots."

"But..."

"No more but," Xiao Yang interrupted, "If you don't want to eat it, I will take your doll."

Xiao Yue looked at the carrot with resignation sighed, then put one piece of carrot into her mouth. Her body shuddered as soon as she tasted the carrot she chewed on.

Xiao Yang smiled while shaking his head, amusedly at his little sister's behavior. His father and mother also smiled.

While enjoying the meal, they also had a good time listening to his father's adventure in another country.

They laughed together and chatted happily. All of a sudden, for some reason, Prince Xiao Yang's body became tense and stiff. He stood up straight and walked towards the open window.

"What's wrong?" asked his father, who was surprised by the change in his son's attitude.

"Are you sick?" this time, his mother asked in a worried tone.

Whereas Xiao Yue completely clueless, felt confused, and could not feel the tension in the room at all.

Because they could not wait to get an answer from the crown prince, the king got up and walked over to his son.

"Yang'er, what exactly happened?"

Xiao Yang's shoulders, which always looked firm and full of confidence, answered his father with slump shoulders and closed eyes.

"My defense had been broken, and now our island is surrounded by dozens of ships."

"What?"

"They are all elementalists." The answer again caused the king to clench his hands.

"Father, we are under attack."

Hearing the last part of the crown prince's word, the queen stood up to her daughter and put her arm around her shoulders protectingly.

"What's wrong, mother?" Xiao Yue asked, confused in their family behavior.

The queen forced her smile so as not to frighten her daughter.

"Looks like we have a lot of guests. But don't worry, no matter what happens, we won't let them hurt you." The queen reassured her daughter while stroking her daughter's hair lovingly.

The king and Xiao Yang turned towards two of their loved ones, and Xiao Yang turned his shoulders upright again. His gaze now became the eyes of an Elementalist filled with faith and full of confidence.

"I don't know the purpose of them coming here, but I won't let them hurt my family." Said Xiao Yang and then moved to take his war robe and sword.

"Wait!" the king ordered. Xiao Yang stopped and turned to his father. "Your mother and I knew this would happen. The Knight of the Oracle had warned us decades ago before you were born. It's just that we didn't know that this would happen faster than we thought."

"What do you mean by that?"

"They want my power." answered the queen making Xiao Yang gasped.

Did they want the queen's power? How did they know about the existence of the Time Master?
