"I can give you my whole body! I can give birth to a child, I'm not infiltrated but she is! I cannot live in a world without you! " She become crazy and her tears fell from her eyes so much that it feels like a river, Louise who was watching didn't look at her.

"My wife is infiltrated, maybe, but even though she is, I don't think that's enough reason for me to leave her behind, I love my wife more than anyone, I can endure your torture but I can't endure a life without her, " he said but the words that came from his mouth pierced her so much and so painful that she look at him with those eyes.

"How could you do this to me? " she was crazy enough to assume something, he wonders how she be become like this, or how did she lost her mind so much from desperation to even pursuit her to take over a kingdom.

"I thought when I take a name as a queen, you and I will match together, I thought I can beat her even a little bit, so I used the lost instrument to summon the undefeated sea creature, and take the crown as a queen with the help of this beggar pirates, but everything is futile, " she said looking at the ground, when Louise was going to talk to her while she regrets everything, Shevery look at him.

"My I'm foolish enough to throw ny future away for man who can't love her, " she said but those words had a meaning, even though he was struggling, he didn't expect the next thing she would even dare to do.

Esmia lost her grip when the mysterious woman suddenly kissed her husband so passionately within this mere second, she lost her mind and fell on her knee as if she felt so betrayed. Louise didn't take anymore chances and pulled her away with him stepping back.

"Are you crazy!? " he said frustratingly.

"Maybe, I will now surrender in your hands, I am no longer have the will to fight, my journey of this despicable desperation has ended using a kiss as a farewell."

The shadow guards unmuted the ball when he notice that Esmia, the queen disconnected, then he confronted his master and freed him from his chains. Long before that, a big bang took them by surprise when the big door to the throne room was shutter in pieces.

Knights of the Ethereal Army killed the last pirate who went to notify the queen. Clodina and her men entered the room to surround Shevery who was seating on the floor as if she had been defeated.

"You majesty? " Frez following immediately came closer to the king.

"Arrest her! Queen Shevery, who did not process the law of proclamation in title is sentence to a crime of killing and murdering the former king and half of the citizens, she is not but the cause of our suffering, however, we must follow the etiquette of the court, I, Princess Clodina is witness of her defeat! " Clodina proudly said to his knignts, they all cheered so peacefully but Louise's eye was flatten into shock.

Not even Frez was able to pulled him off. "Our king, are you okey? " even Hector join to bring him back but they seem to have not successfully prevail.

"This is bad, even he was shocked, " said Hector, making Frez look at him in confusion.

"Pardon? " he asked.

"That was so unexpected, the king had a desperate admirer and was the cause of this madness, the queen witness every last details of this confession that she was so shocked to disconnect our communication, " he explained.

"I see, what about the king? " he looked at Louise and he clicked his tongue.

"He was kissed by the pirate girl after she surrendered, he was also shocked that he seem about to cry, " he nodded understanding the situation.

Hector shrugged his head and pushed his majesty, the king shoulder shaking him so damn hard to force him back, unfortunately that works and now Louise was looking at them confused.

"Your majesty, the whole event earlier had been witnessed by her majesty, I'm afraid it caused her much gre---- "

"Prepare the army to leave right away! " he commanded surprising everyone in the throne room.

"Your majesty! We cannot decided that so easily, you must think about the consequences! Our army had been exhausted from the force preparation to a war, we need a rest and even you nee--- "

"NOT NOW FREZ! My wife needs me, even if I had to travel alone forcing a damn horse to take me back, I'll do it! I'll f*cking do it! " His words was so cold the Frez was taken aback, he then turn back but was stopped by Elifis who blocked the door to the outside.

The face written on Louise's face is a like a tyrant running loose, he was angered and frustrated both with mix sadness and disappointment, he can't do anything precisely that way. Elifis was worried that he was going to kill his man just to go back soon as possible, the look on his face was so determined to stress his men even a horse in a journey that would transport him by week.

Elifis shrugged. "You must calm down, you cannot kill your men because of a reason, this is not you. " Louise looked at him but he only flinched and he went pushing Elifis away.

"Don't try to stop me! I'll travel a journey even if I to stumble upon every land to reach Castaline by tomorrow! Now step back, Elifis! " Louise commanded making everyone including Clodina who was worried of what happened before their arrival.

Shevery was taken by the knight so she can't ask her.

"Your--- no, Louise, this is an absurd actions! You cannot do this in any circumstances, this will taint your reputation, we can leave tomorrow as soon as dawn is set, okey? " he tried pursuing him even though he seem determined, Elifis is worried that he might have fallen in rage.

"I... " he looked at him and finally let his guard off. "My wife must have heard everything, I need to clear up the misunderstanding, " had not for the thought he was crazy, Elifis might have punch him back to his senses but it seem he was just worried.

"Listen here, I know its hard but you must contain yourself for the better, if you act out of courtesy, you will make her mad even more, let Frez and Conrad rest for the entire night and tomorrow, you can leave at full speed, we will follow after you when everyone had been fully rested, don't worry and rest for tonight. " In the end he nodded even though he knew it was impossible from the beginning to travel back using a horse in a mere days, it will take them a week to reach the Castaline Boarders.

However Elifis knew he had the ability to do so, maybe not exactly from the boarder but at least close to it, because his ability has its own limit.

After the ruckus that Louise had put, Clodina commanded to build a tent outside the garden for his majesty, the palace is at chaotic place right now cause the pirates left so much mess at every room of the palace, including the kings bedroom and Clodina's chambers.

The knights of the Castaline was given a feast from the smallest they can savage from the remaining of their food supplies, some even went hunting for animals to feed the exhausted knights who helped the Ethereal back to their feet, most was worried of their king but others enjoy the meals and went to their designated tents to sleep.

Louise was force to sleep early from the shocked he had suffer, while Clodina, Elifis, Sadina, Cortez and Gardon went to the secret war room only Clodina knew off, they gathered in the tables seating in a chair while Clodina lit up the entire room to brigjten up the entire place.

"This hasn't been found by the pirates because I had it hidden, it can only be unlocked by the royal families blood, we hid also what remains of our wealth in here, " said Clodina and she seated beside them.

"Shevery had confessed that the East is behind her madness for King Louise's affection, she cooperated well enough to tell us everything, " Elifis already doubt that, he remember that Louise said something similar, he doubt even Esmia knew it happens that way.

"That trickery! Just to reduce our force and they will take a lead!? Many people died, those little scumbags! " Sadina said frustratedly, she can't contain her anger because if they are normal and wants a normal convenient war, they will fight fair and square.

"They targeted the most weakest point of the west, thought Arcada has a weakest military power, they are far at west in the deserted island which surrounded with nothing but dead sand, Adilara is the same, they are the nearest to Castaline beside those scums had broke the treaty, " said Conrad and they all nodded before Clodina sighs in disappointment.

"I'm a well educated but my knowledge or managing this place is yet polished and lacking, building an army before the due will bankrupt our kingdom, why does is have to be this era? " Its true that managing the welfare of a kingdom is not easy, hence having another problem to speed up the process is impossible.

There is one way to eradicate this plan though, with the unification-- but that is not the solution, it maybe one of the solution they can think off, Clodina sighs and she looked at the empty ceiling.

"If I may, your highness, " said Gardon, he then raise his hands making Clodina nodded and fixed her posture.

"You might know about this, but I'm sure Louise is aware of this, before reducing his military militia (the former king) he had left every peny and weapons (armors) and others in a secter bunker where only few had knew about it, he said that those aren't necessary anymore but I think your father is wrong, although he said those, he doubt that one day, you may need them so he hide those things which contains to rebuild our kingdom, only I can open the door of the bigger bunker that resides at the deepest of the royal castle. "

He (the former king) has always thought that the peace will forever remains to them forever, but a peace without fighting over it is just but a make believe only an ideal of those that fools and naive who thinks that way, the former king believe in make believe that one of those days, all continents will become one as a human being without violence and chaos.

So be believe that reducing the military power can help his ideal of no violence, he was never been a man who likes war, battles and violence, he is but a peaceful lord. When he decided to throw those unnecessary equipments that the Ethereal had, he thought once more, what if one day when my daughter rules, chaos evolve? He thought about that before he finally realize that throwing them won't help, instead he ordered few (retiring knights) to put everything in the banker deep with the palace castle, where no one bothers to come, even his wealth was stored there and other sentimental and important treasures, after locking the whole, he order Gardon to lock the banker with his magic mana so he is the only person that can open it.

Clodina was so shocked by the revelation, Gardon had told her, everything shook from her head and she finally broke from her over thinking.

"So you mean, father hide those beneath? " she asked and he nodded making her smile.

"Father did that? No---- I mean, with the help of the wealth her left, and combining the wealth we hide here, we can revive the kingdom, we can rebuild our nation once again! " She said happily so did the others.

"I didn't think he would even predict something like this would happen, it was good he thought about this not just about peace, he might be called coward but he was the bravest amongst us his brothers, " said Elifis.

"Pardon? What do you mean brothers? Are you my uncle? " She asked making Elifis lough.

"I would say that but yes also maybe, your father rule at the age of 21, his parents resigned and died afterwards, also (he has no biological brothers) he is the only child, we call him and Louise brothers because we tree are the trio students of Sir Gardon back then, we are like brothers who didn't share the same blood, " he said but Gardon loughed.

"Three troublemakers, you mean? " Elifis looked at him with unpleasantly and he sighs.

"Yes, about that, we are just a adventurer lads back then, trouble is our portray, " he proudly said to himself making Gardon look at him in irritation.

"Bastard, trouble is your portray yet you make me clean up your mess? Come on, I work so hard to teach you lads and you go messing around wherever you go? " Elifis nodded and he whispers (because you love us) with a tickling tease of his former teacher.

Gardon left out sighing and nodded. "That's right, I love you three and now one of you had passed away, it feels really strange that one of my students had left us, Clodina after this, honor your father by building him a tomb on the palace cemetery. "
