Chapter 23: Rage

A couple of days had passed.

Belle and the others finally reached Yorkshire city. The first thing that they did after arriving was to come to the manor of Earl Garen.

Belle was feeling down these past couple of days because she had no information or whatsoever regardings his father, her only friend, Kraftvoll, and her seishin beast partner, Azari.

Even so, as the daughter of House Schild, she must be resolute regardless of the situation. She still continued his journey to the Earl Garen's manor despite her worries to the people close to her.

After a few minutes, they had arrived at their destination. "His Ladyship, Lady Belle von Schild is here!" the guard from the gate announced to the manor.

After a few seconds, Earl Garen came outside to greet Belle. "What brings you here little Belle?" Earl Garen asked.

"Earl Garen, the town and my father.." even without finishing, Garen interrupted her. "Did something happened to brother Blaire!?" Earl Garen anxiously asked.

A pale color can be seen in Belle's face as she continues, "The Schild city has been attacked, Earl Garen!"

Her hands were shaking as Belle spoke these words unto Earl Blaire. Like Kraftvoll, she, too, was just a child.

"Little Belle, tell me everything, I'll help your father in any way that I can."

Belle told the Earl of Yorkshire City the whole situation. And hearing this, he was enraged of what he had heard, "SO THEY HAD STARTED MOVING, HUH!? AND THEY ACTUALLY DARED TO DO THAT TO MY BROTHER AND HIS TERRITORY!?" Earl Garen furiously said while slamming the table in front of him.

A soldier came and said something to the Earl. "Let them in!" Earl Garen said to his guards. After saying that, "It seems like your prodigy friend survived. He's down there." said Earl Garen to Belle.

After hearing this, a beautiful smile can be seen in Belle's face. "Can you excuse me for a moment, Earl Garen?" Belle excitedly inquired to Earl Garen.

"Sure," Earl Garen gladly replied.

After hearing the Earl's reply, Belle quickly ran toward the manor's gate. When she reached them, she saw Kraftvoll with the two dragons.

Most of her worries faded out as soon as she saw the two. "Kraftvoll! Thank you! You brought Azari safely here!" She ran toward Azari and she hugged him. "I'm glad you're safe Azari!"

After hugging Azari, she turned to Kraftvoll and asked, "What happened to father?" Belle worriedly asked.

"Let's talk about this with Earl Garen."

The two of them went inside the earl's manor quickly. They knocked on the Earl's office door.

"Come in," Earl Garen said in response to their knocks. As soon as they entered the room, Kraftvoll greeted the Earl, "Greetings, Your Lordship!"

"Sit down, you two. Servants, leave us for now." After saying that, Kraftvoll and Belle sat as he commanded while the servants inside the Earl's office gave them privacy.

"Report the situation of Schild City, kid." Earl Garen said with full seriousness in his face.

"Your Lordship, according to the soldier that came here with me, the Dark Alliance suddenly attacked the city. Also, they thought that this was a planned attack because they were able to bring seishin practitioner powerhouses." Kraftvoll explained in accordance with what he had heard from the soldier that escorted him.

"What happened to brother Blaire?" Earl Garen worriedly asked.

"His Lordship, Earl Blaire was battling two lower seishin overlords which is why he was unable to completely defend the city by himself. He commanded us to go to you for reinforcements and afterward to the royal capital, Stolz City to notify His Majesty, the King."

Earl Garen finally understood the situation.

He started to make a move. "Servants! Call the commander of our army at once!"

"You two better go to the capital now. I'll call my younger brother to escort you two safely to the royal capital." Earl Garen stated.

"Thank you, Your Lordship!" Kraftvoll and Belle replied.
