Just as they were to exchange the rings, Commander Perseus entered the throne room, but it looked like he was sweating and had an anxious face.

King Feran was very happy after seeing Commander Perseus arriving, so he immediately said.

“Ah! Brother Perseus! I am happy that you arrived here to celebrate the ceremony wit..…….”

While King Feran was speaking, Commander Perseus ignored him but only yelled loudly.

“MY KING! THE HIGH ELVES ARE ATTACKING THE PALACE!”

Everyone in the room was terrified after they heard this. King Feran was so shocked by this news that he did not believe it first, so he replied calmly.

“No need to worry! Surely the Guardian Lares will protect………..”

The King was interrupted again. But this time by a soldier who shouted in the throne room with a horror look on his face.

“MY KING! THE GUARDIAN LARES HAVE JOINED THE HIGH ELVES!”

When King Feran heard this, It was like he had been stabbed by a godly dagger, which made him lose most of his hope.

“That can’t be! These Guardian Lares were made by Goddess Athena using the dark matter of Tartaros. She gifted them to her father, Zeus’s creation, to protect them in life and death situations. Athena is a light god. She can’t work with a dark race. Your eyes must have seen wrong.”

Tears were falling from the soldier’s eyes as he said the next words to make the King see the reality.

“My King! *drip* They are slaughtering my brothers-in-arms. *drop* Is there any way that I could see it false.”

“Your Majesty! You should see the truth. It seems like the light gods have abandoned us.”

King Feran knew that if he accepted this, that would mean all of their deaths. So he tried to use his power to show that Zeus had not forsaken them.

“See my powers. They are still worki……”

As King Feran was saying this, the ancient power started to fade away from his body. Now, after this, all hope of his was gone. So he fell silent because he was betrayed at the worst time possible.

Everyone in the room could see the reality now and the horror that was to come; they only had time as little as 30 minutes. Grand Duke Phiteus still had some hope because of something, so he asked Perseus.

“Brother! What about the Unbound races? Will they be arriving soon?”

But It was already too late. When Commander Perseus had entered, he did not close the door, which caused the spell on the door to break.

Because of this, anyone could enter, just like how the soldier freely entered without permission. Just as Phiteus finished asking his question, a storm of people entered the room.

All of them were servants and maids who served in the Palace. Right now, they came running into the throne room as they were running away from something and the looks on their faces told that they were terrified.

There were bloodstains on their clothes, and some of them had their arms and legs cut off. As they were rushing in, they were also pleading to the King.

“Milord! Please protect us.”

“My King! Our Guardians have betrayed us and slaughtered all the soldiers. You are our only hope.”

“Your Highness! We are your loyal servants, and we beg to you that you save us.”

Right now, in the throne room, King Feran could hear the sounds of crying and the shouts of terror. But the King was a soul who did not reply to them and only stood in front of them emotionless and expressionless.

This made the servents even more terrified of what was to come, so they started to beg their Queen.

“My Queen! Even the King has fallen silent. You are our only hope. Please, we beg of you.”

“Your Majesty! We beg of you.”

“Please Protect us, our Great and Wise Queen.”

They had placed all of their hopes on their Queen. But little did they know that she was even more terrified in this situation than the King. She was so terrified that she had pissed her pants. But no one else knew of this.

Right now, the only one who was thinking start was Grand Duke Phiteus. He already knew that his death was inevitable. All he could do was protect the future that was his daughter, son, and brother’s two children.

So, to protect them from their demise, he thought of a plan.

“Royal Magician Daedalus!”

When Daedalus heard this, he came in front of the Phiteus, taking a knee to show respect.

“What do you desire of me, Milord?”

Daedalus was a very cunning person who had also served King Winstone, the father of King Feran. He was almost 90 years old. It was a miracle that he was alive, considering that he was not a descendant of Odysseus, unlike them.

Even though he had lived that long, he could have escaped death that was coming to him right now, so he was already prepared to sacrifice his all to protect them.

So when Phieus called him, Daedalus was confused for a second, but when he looked at his eyes, he saw no fear and immediately knew that Grand Duke Phieus had thought of a plan.

Phieus calmly replied to him without any worry or fear.

“I need you to do something important for me.”

When Daedalus heard him say this, he immediately replied, showing no hesitation in his voice.

“I shall do whatever you wish of me, Your Grace.”

After Daedalus heard this, Phieus’s heart fell at ease, and he replied.

“I want you to transport the royal children to the Kingdom of Aethon.”

Daedalus immediately understood the reason for this and accepted it without any hesitation.

“Very well, Milord.”

The first child he was going to transport was the heir to the throne Prince Caius. When he was being transported by magic, he calmly said something to Adonis while smiling.

“I will see you on the other side, Brother.”

Before this, Adonis’s heart was pumping crazy because of the fear that was right now in his heart, but when he heard Caius say those words, it made him feel a little better.

“I will see you too soon.”

As Adonis was saying, this Caius had already faded away, and right now, it was his turn. When Caius was being transported away, Adonis could not hear the incantation by Daedalus.

But right now, it was his turn, and he could clearly hear the incantation being spoken by Daedalus.

“Living is lying, and Death is Deceit. Mortals are selfish, But Gods are more. Yet I beg as a Mortal To the Goddess of Magic. From the Forest of Galos! I beg you to heed my selfish prayer. Oh! Hecate, I beg of you to send this child to the Kingdom of Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”

As Daedalus was speaking the incantation, the High Elves had entered the Throne room. Daedalus was concentrating on his magic spell, so he did not know about their arrival and continued to speak the incantation.

When a high elf saw their magic incantation, he drew his bow and launched an arrow at Daedalus’s hand, which made him scream and ruined his incantation.

“Good Shot! Commander Falael.”

Commander Falael started laughing and said to his soldiers while making a perverted face.

“Soldiers, I order you to kill the men and capture the females as slaves.”

After this, they started to massacre the men in the throne room while some females who could not handle the humiliation that would come started sliting their throats.

All this was happening, yet the King and the Queen went to their thrones, and they fell silent. They watched as their people were being killed in front of them.

Grand Duke Phiteus and Commander Perseus saw their big brother acting like this, and right now, they were ashamed of him even to call him their brother.

So in their last hope for survival, they decided to push the high elves back out of the throne room and activate the seal spell on the door.

But, as they were successfully pushing the High Elves back, Commander Falael took it as a chance and stabbed Grand Duchess Circe in the heart.

Commander Falael now was going to kill their daughter, so she started crying. When Phiteus heard her cry and say his wife’s dead body, he immediately rushed back to save his daughter and take revenge from Faleal without caring about anything else.

But as Phiteus was going to strike Falael, Falael struck his sword at him first and chopped off his head.

This was happening all in front of Adonis. Yet, he could do nothing as he was stuck because the teleportation magic was still transporting him away. So at the moment, he saw his father’s head being chopped off, he shouted.

“Fatherrrr!!!”

In the next moment, Adonis was transported to an unfamiliar place. But he did not care to look around.

All in his mind was his father’s head flying off his body and his dead mother’s corpse while his little sister Amara was screaming in terror.

He was thinking of what was going to happen to his little sister and his fiancé.

Tears were falling from his eyes as he remembered the horror he had seen 8 years ago. At that time, it was his mother’s head that was chopped off.

He was in such misery that he started shouting and crying loudly.

“WHAT HAD I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?”

His loud voice was heard by the people outside.

“Did you hear something? I think I heard the voice of someone.”
