Chapter 305: She Started With It

All of them were staring blankly at the two people in front of them.

Each as disbelief in their faces.

At the same time there was fear.

'Lily!!'

Saphira called out Lily inside her.

'Calm down Saphira, there's no trace of darkness, they have the right number of negative emotions as humans. These two aren't the people you think they are,' Lily explained.

The others turned to Saphira, having the same thought as her and receiving the answer from Lily, she sighed in relief.

She shook her head giving them the answer they needed.

A laugh came about as they remained silent.

"You must be shock right? We have heard that these two looked like two of your elite squads that have died and is now our enemies."

They turned to the general of the knights of this kingdom.

Capelia Kingdom.

After everything that went on in the last kingdom, they have decided to go farther this time, farther from the empire.

And Capelia Kingdom is the farthest from Qillian Empire.

They wanted to check the condition of this place since it was far from them.

If it is still safe or if it is already conquered.

Some lands they passed through had fallen but this one was still fine and a few others surrounding it.

This basically showed that the dark lord does not follow any type of sequence in his attacks. They attack simply when they like it.

Yet it seems that their emotions are being attacked even by fate.

Because right at this moment, they are facing two young adults, older than they are. And these two looked exactly like Ardel and Raynisha.

The reason why she panicked inwardly and asked Lily to see the darkness in them.

Lily, of course, checked thoroughly as she was also shocked at this moment. The darkness was gone, not completely gone because that will cause more suspicion but instead, they had the darkness of the humans.

Ardel had silver hair with a darker shade of silver for his eye while this person had black hair and blue eyes.

Raynisha had red hair and eyes but this person has golden hair and green eyes.

They are older than when they died and Lily has no recollection that the dark lord has this ability.

An ability to change appearances.

Because all this time, the one they are fighting have actually retained their youthful look, the young teens at the age of eighteen.

And even though Lily has no recollection of the predecessor of Saphira, she has recollection of the capability of the dark lord.

They are all what he had shown them so far, if not they were stronger instead.

"But well, these kids grew up in this kingdom, we watched them become teenagers, so you don't have to worry, they are our people," the man continued explaining.

"We apologize for our reactions just now," Saphira smiled towards the two people in front of them.

They were also knights of this kingdom, and they were among the strong ones, the two of them worked hard just so they could improve and be of help to their kingdom.

The young lady smiled back while shaking her head, "It is fine. We were already expecting it when we found out that we actually looked like those two."

"What is your name?" Saphira asked gently.

Seeing this look that is a little bit mature to what they remembered, both she and Drake are feeling emotional.

If those two grew up normally then they will have this face.

"I am Kara while he is Hans," the young lady introduced before pointing at the young man.

He smiled and nodded at them.

Saphira took a deep breath, she was still shaken, that is the truth.

Seeing such familiar faces when they are on guard to such people as well, is too much for her whose emotions had been heightened ever since she met the dark lord during their battle with Flora.

"We want to discuss how things are going on now, can we do that?" Hunter stepped up and spoke for her.

"Oh yes, shall we?" the general said.

Kara and Hans are both captains that they joined them back to the castle.

"As you can see, it wasn't chaotic but it was not so peaceful either. We have to battle against demonic beasts that kept getting stronger and dark forces that kept increasing in number."

The king started telling them how things are going on.

"Then we will start with the barrier," Saphira spoke after everything was said to them.

The others glanced at her, she usually starts with the barrier when they were able to minimize the number of enemies within the land.

But this time, she actually started with it.

The king obviously didn't reject, this will allow them to be isolated from the darkness outside.

But they were unaware of one thing.

Just as darkness could not enter unless they are the dark lord, those within the barrier that has large amount of darkness could not go out either.

Even though Saphira accepted the fact that Kara and Hans were not the same people, she still chose to have a bit more of precaution on other things.

Her friends understood her and no one objected her.

At this moment, them following her without her leaving an explanation was the complete contrast of how they were when they just started.

They trusted her more than they did even when they were still kids.

Because time and time again, Saphira has proven that everything she had been doing has their best interest in mind.

And if it is not to their best interest, it only meant that she was protecting herself.

And they don't blame her, because it meant that she would surely be in so much pain.

"Prepare this instant," she faced the rest with a serious look.

She didn't want to stay here for as long as they have in the past lands they were.
