Chapter - 107 [ Beginning Of The Hunting! ]

After recovering from the sudden attack of the innocent Bella, Rastus and the others wiped the blood off their face.

"Haah... Whatever! Since you said so, I will believe in your words of not being our enemy!"

Rastus said out loudly. The others also nodded. Whatever they want to say and do, it would be more beneficial for them, if they were in a friendly relationship with Adam. This will keep the kingdom and its people safe from anything.

"We all, the council of Grania kingdom supports your decision. I order in my name, that from now on, whenever someone offends Adam and his family, they will be disowned by the Kingdom!"

Everyone else nodded giving their approval. Though it may become a suspicious act against the Aldians, that is when the time comes.

"There's no need to publicize it. Those who are present here need to remember it. Not everyone knows about me or my strength. It's not like I will destroy this kingdom of someone else tried to harm my family. But anyone related to it will be held accountable."

They all nodded. Then smiling, Adam said,

"Forget about the needless stuff. Let's talk about what to do with that group."

'You are only one who thinks that it was needless knowledge!' Everyone other than Bella thought inwardly.

"Truth Sanctuary. They are an unknown group of people. We do not know how deep their strength is. At the very least, we have to think that they have the least number, which is one demi-god in their group. They must be either the leader or a trusted aide. What we currently know is that, they are planning something. At first, they massacred a village for the sake of something."

'That time, the shadow who ordered him wanted the souls of the dead. I don't know what they are planning to use it for though.' Adam remembered.

"The second time, they attacked our country. But strangely enough, they weren't planning to kill anyone. With this action, we are confused about what they are planning. And....?"

Sudden Adam stopped talking as he saw Celeste acting a little wierd. As if she's done, Celeste nodded her head and turned towards Adam and said,

"Adam, One of the spirits that I asked to lookout for these guys actually found them. They appeared in Brine after their attack here. But, like here, they disappeared after fighting them for a while."

Everyone in the room stood after hearing the report.

"Again huh.... They already attacked Grania and Brine... If that's the case, their next destination would be either Aragon or the elf kingdom.... Hmm... I guess I'll do it."

Hearing him murmuring, the entire room fell silent. After thinking for a while, Adam answered,

"I will go warn Ace and My grandfather of this.. If the elven country is about to be attacked, then, grandfather alone cannot hold against them. As for Ace, it'll be fine. But... Anyway! I will be leaving for now, Rastus. If you have any other updates about them, just tell Damon about it. He can contact me."

After saying so, Adam opened a gate and left together with Celeste and Bella. His leave left the room silent. Thus, Rastus asked,

"Can I explain about you, Damon?"

Damon nodded. And another bomb was about to drop to their heads.

Outside the Royal Castle of Grania, Adam stood there with Bella and Celeste. Next second, he opened another gate and from within, the girls came.

"Adriel, I have some things for you to do. Go and inform your father of this incident and warn him that not just Grania, but Brine was also attacked. So there is a chance for Aragon to be attacked also."

He said as he opened the gate to Aragon imperial castle. Obeying him, Adriel, and as her rival, friend, and now sister wife, Ruby went through the gate. Next, he turned towards Xesteria and Ellie.

"Xe's and Ellie. This is something that related to you as well."

They two being intelligent ladies, understood the meaning behind his words.

"Elves may also get targeted huh.."

"There's a chance for them to attack the Malevier house again that time..."

The two muttered. Adam nodded.

"As their group have some strong members, just grandfather is not enough to stop them. That's why we will also go to Maleviers. As for the others, I'd like to ask you girls to be on alert, because there is a chance they may attack here once again."

The girls nodded. Besides them, Beta is also with them. So he wasn't worried.

Opening the gate to Malevier house, Adam, Ellie, Xe's and Bella passed through it. The girls left to protect the academy and it's students.

Inside the Malevier mansion, Asil who was tired after the sudden attack done by an unknown group was startled by the sound of knocking.

"Enter." He said. Obeying him, a maid entered the room.

"Master, young lady Xesteria, Elven princess Elbereth as well as Young master Adam came. They requested for your presence."

Hearing the familiar names, Asil nodded before following the maid. After walking to the guest room, he was unsurprised to find his wife and son along with the guests.

Standing up at his entrance, Xesteria ran towards her grandfather and asked,

"Are you okay, grandfather..?!"

Asil who was happy to see his granddaughter smiled like a silly guy and said,

"What are you saying Xe's? Your grandpa is super strong, you know..?!"

As the stupid parent he is, nobody payed him any attention.

As it was an emergency, Adam stood before asking,

"It's an emergency grandpa Asil. She too have heard about the attack. I know you are thinking she doesn't have to know about such things. But she feels guilty whenever she thinks about you protecting her with your life. And you know that I won't allow any danger to even gaze upon her. Just trust your granddaughter a little. She's too working hard, you know? So, just forget about your pride and tell us what happened. You have protected not just her, but us as well as this kingdom till now. It's now our turn to protect you all."

Asil who heard his grandson wasn't angry at him. Instead he was happy. He knows how strong Adam is, so he won't deny his request. Besides that, he guaranteed their abilities. So he have a little more faith in their involvement.

As a final pursuit, Xe's asked,

"We are getting stronger, grandfather! Just like wanting to protect you, we want to protect and help Adam. So this much is nothing! But it seems that to realise that dream, we need to wait for a long time though."

She puffed out her chest and later giggled at her own boasting. Ellie also stepped forward to say,

"Lord Asil... No. As you are related to me as well, I'd like to call you grandfather as well if you don't mind. Grandfather, like Xe's Is saying, we have even bigger goal. And it is harder than the current situation. If we were to give up now, how can we hope for that future..? So, allow us to be of help. In the future, my elven people and the Malevier house will be relatives. Although we do hate humans, with your presence, we understood that not every humans are evil. In fact, I very much like the people I met at the academy. Although they do not know of my identity, they do accept me. That made me happy. Also, even if the whole world hates me, or throw me away, I am sure Adam, Xe's and my other sisters as well as my family will not abondon me. Of course that family includes you all. That is why, let us protect the happiness of this family."

"..."

Asil who heard her long speech only stood there silently. Adam was feeling proud of her as she was very good at words. As expected of a princess.

"Fine. I give up..."

Sighing in defeat, Asil give his approval.

"But..."

He said stopping midway, making the girls nervous.

"But, you have to be with someone who can protect you. I won't allow it if not!"

Of course he allowed his granddaughter to enroll in the academy since he knows that Adam will protect her at all cost. But, that is not how it is now. The enemies are all strong.

"Ah, you don't have to worry about that. I will be going with them. Also, we came here to warn the elven people. Although they already attacked the Malevier house, to decrease any chances of failure, they might attack here again till they fulfill their aim from the elven people."

Adam said why they were here. Asil who heard this nodded unsurprisingly. He guessed that is the case.

"We can take care of the Malevier house. Just go and help the elven people."

Adam nodded. After standing up, he healed everyone around the mansion within his domain. Then he ordered Bella.

"Bella."

As always eager to serve him, Bella responded with a bow and,

"Your Order, Master."

Though the residents of Maleviers were confused and curious about the maid, none asked anything.

"I will be leaving with the girls to protect them. While I am away, help them protect this place. If you can, capture them alive. Also, use this against each one of them as soon as you knock them out."

He said as he passed her more than a hundred enchanted magic stones. He enchanted it with illusion spell and as well as anti-curse spell. Upon its use, the illusion spell will fool the owner of the curse and the anti-curse spell will destroy it freeing them from the suicidal action.

"There is a chance that they may try to commit suicide. Stop them at all cost. Also, this may not be a needed concern. But if someone who you can't handle comes, call me immediately without trying to fight."

"As you wish."

She would obey him without even asking back. That was her determination.

Though she was confident, that wasn't the same for the people inside the room. Seeing their doubt, Adam said,

"Do not underestimate her, just because she's a maid. She's stronger than all of you here together."

Hearing him, Asil asked,

"Are you saying that she's a Magic King..?"

Adam nodded and Asil's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it. He turned towards his granddaughter only to see she agreeing.

"We will explain it later. For now, let's take care of what's infront of us. Well, then, we will be leaving. I will leave them in your care, Bella."

"Yes, Master."

She said as she bowed respectfully. Then not giving the others any time to ask anything else, he opened a gate and the trio left to their next destination.....
