Grand Duchess Elpis puts sleep magic on Adonis and leaves the shed. She starts to distract the enemy soldiers while running away from the shed. The enemy soldiers nearby see her and start chasing her.

“There is the Grand Duchess! Soldiers Chase Her Down!”

“But What About The Heir?”

“We Will Catch Him Too. Hahahaha!!!”

Grand Duchess Elpis runs for sometime before being exhausted and captured.

“You Traitor Scumbags! Tell Me, who is the one who commands you?”

Then suddenly a mysterious man comes in front of them.

“Ah, Grand Duchess! We meet again.”

Grand Duchess Elpis becomes surprised as she sees the person who is the leader of the rebellion. It is a bald white man with a small beard in his fifties wearing a silver magic armor.

“You!!! You Disloyal Rat! General Lapetus, I made a mistake when I asked my Husband to make you the leader of the armies of the west.”

“Hahaha! Yes, It is a pleasure to see you again, too, Grand Duchess Elpis. Don’t worry about your Husband. I have already “took care” of him.”

Tears from the Grand Duchess Elpis’s eyes start falling as soon she hears this.

“You Shameless Bastard! After all, we have done for you, yet you betrayed us.”

“Grand Duchess Elpis! It is nothing personal it’s just that I had a deal with the High Elves, and They promised to make me King of Azlek if I help them get rid of the Grand Duke Family and The Royal Family.”

Hearing this, the Grand Duchess Elpis starts laughing very loud.

“You, Fools! Even an idiot would know that the High Elves are the sworn enemies of humans because we worship Zeus. Did you think for a second that they would do something that will help you, a human? Did you not realize that they had been using you to kill us because they know that the royal family will get rid of you after our death. I laugh at your stupidity.”

General Araki Noboru realizes that he has been used, but he decides to shun her remarks and slashes to behead the Grand Duchess.

He was thinking of ordering the heir’s search, but after a few bare moments, some of his soldiers came screaming to him.

“GENERAL! THE ROYAL FORCES ARE ATTACKING. WHAT SHOULD WE DO?”

General Araki knows that the royal forces will not take any prisoners, so he starts to think of a plan fast. But The royal army has already reached him then.

When He sees King Feran Winstone angry coming with the royal forces and destroying all of his troops in their path, the King had actually come from where they had killed the Grand Duke.

The General becomes so terrified that his legs gave out. So all he can do is wait for his ultimate demise.

As King Feran comes closer and sees the Grand Duchess beheaded. He is filled with wrath and remorse. He uses movement magic to move fast close to the General.

“HAVE YOU DONE THIS?????”

General Araki falls on his legs and begs.

“Please Don’t Kill Me, Your Highness! The High Elves used me!!! I did not know what great sin I was committing! Forgive me!”

This angers King Feran even more as he had regarded Grand Duchess Elpis as her sister.

“DIE YOU TRAITOR SCUM! THERE SHALL BE NO FORGIVENESS TO THOSE WHO BETRAY THE HOUSE OF ODYSSEUS AND ITS BRANCHES!”

King Feran chops off the General’s head in a single swing from his holy sword. He moves closer to the Grand Duchess dead body. King Feran Falls on his legs in front on

“Forgive Me, Ancestors! Today I have failed you all. I….. I could not protect what was guarded by me.”

King Feran, after some thinking, becomes calm as he cannot allow any panic, so he reaches a decision.

“Find if anyone from the House Drakos Survived!”

Some Royal Soldiers find the garden’s shed and enter it. They find a little boy sleeping sound in all of this chaos.

They try to get closer, but they are not allowed by the protection forcefield. So they return to the King and tell him about what they have found.

King Feran becomes anxious soon as he hears this, so he goes to the garden’s shed quickly to investigate.

He enters the shed and sees a baby boy protected by a protection forcefield spell. He tries to come closer to the child, and the magical Forcefield accepts him.

He senses that the Grand Duchess made the Forcefield, so he begins to understand it all. Tears start falling from King Feran’s eyes as he now knows that he has not failed the Drakos Family yet, and their blood will live on in their heir. The Forcefield withers away as soon as he reaches for Adonis.

King Feran exits the shed with the child in his arms. The soldiers see a child in the King’s arms, and they realize that it must be the heir to the House Drakos. Seeing this makes their wrathful selves calm.

The sudden light falls on Adonis’s face, which wakes him up. Adonis sees that he is in the arms of a muscular white man in his thirties with golden hair. King Feran glances at the child again and sees that he has wakened up.

When Adonis sees that his mother is not around him, he becomes confused and starts crying. King Feran sees the child crying and is looking for his mother. So He tries to make him stop crying.

“Nephew! Today, We have lost too much. But, We should not lose our hope. We should act happy so that your parents can rest in peace. They sacrificed their lives so that you can live. If they were alive, they would want you to be happy, not sad. I may know the pain that you have suffered today. You may not understand the words I am saying right now, but I, King Feran Winstone, Today before the gods of Heaven and Hell, make a vow to defend my Nephew until I am alive. If I may betray this vow, may the wrath of gods fall upon me and my kin.”
