Chapitre 32: Finding Enemies
"You are forgetting there is one more enemy that we have," Don gave a hint, glancing at him from the side-eye.
"One more? ...you mean those Dwarfs of the east?" Zivan lifted one of his eyebrows.
"We will find that out soon," Don said and they entered the king's quarters.
"Good morning, mother, father," both of them greeted one after another.
Zachary was sipping on his early morning tea with his queen Abrielle on the open terrace.
The scenery that this place offered was amazing.
From afar they could see a small mountain standing proudly in the east direction. While the sun was rising slowly from the wast. As the morning sun fell on it the fresh greenery and flowers started to shimmer.
Soft rays of the sun were falling on the terrace as well and they could see the whole castle from here.
"Good morning," A small smile spread on Abrielle's face. Zivan walked ahead and planted a small kiss on her forehead.
Both the brothers took a seat on the chair in front of their parents and the maid served them tea.
"Where is Genie?" Zivan asked not to find her sister around. Usually, she always spend her time with her parents in the morning.
"She is with her governess, taking her classes," Abrielle replied. Yesterday when she heard about the dragon attack Abrielle quickly sent Genevieve to the house of her governess before any foul news reached her ears. To Abrielle her daughter was the most precious thing, and little Genie was so naive and sweet that she could easily bring out a protective side from others for herself.
If Abrielle could, she would keep Genie in front of her eyes all the time.
"You are turning her into a weak child like this," complained King Zachary.
"She is too young to understand and handle this," Abrielle was quick to argue. She has all the three princes just like her husband. Cold and manipulative. Apart from Zivan, all two were just like soldiers. Now she didn't want her daughter to turn out to be the same.
"Do you also want her to be cold-hearted like these three brats?" Abrielle glared at him.
King Zachary pursed his lips and shook his head. He didn't want to start an argument which he cannot win. And thinking carefully he also didn't want his little girl to be involved in things like this. She was so innocent and he didn't want anything or anyone to corrupt that goodness in her.
And he was sure that it would remain the same. With four men of the Regalhelm family protecting and dotting on their dear Genie nothing can happen to her.
"Ahem... so, did you find anything?" Zachary asked after some time looking at his eldest son.
"No clue yet. But it's not hard to guess. What we need is just the first clue of the chain." Donovan said, drinking his tea.
"Witches? Because I doubt that old goblin would try to pull this trick." Zachary said with a grim face.
"They are two sides of one coin. One can always borrow another hand to attack." Donovan had a cold glint in his eyes as he said that.
Zachary nodded his head.
"Find the clues as soon as possible. We will act on it as soon as your marriage is over." Zachary bangs his hand on the armrest of the chair. Hearing about marriage Donovan's face fell.
"With this attack, we have to make the securities tighter. Two Nobel ladies has already attacked and almost lost their lives as soon as they entered the capital. There are more coming and we can not let anything bad happened to them." Abrielle's forehead was a creased and small frown on her face.
"Don't worry, I will look into everything personally," Donovan reassured her. After the attack from Dinnar he has thought that they will take a break from those sneak attacks but yesterday's event proved him wrong.
But thinking about the attack once more the Hazel eyes started to surface in the back of his head.
He shook his head and again concentrated on the present. They started to discuss some things before both the prince left.
"Do you think this event will go as planned? I'm worried about him," Abrielle looked at the back of eldest son and asked her husband.
"He will be fine, don't worry," Zachary smirked on his lips.
"I don't think marrying Don with Astraxia's princess will ensure our safety if these sneak attacks go on." Abrielle put her opinion in front of her husband.
Till now their small vessel countries which are situated in the southern border were being targeted but this time they played their trick in their capital while using their own North soldiers.
They had seen enough war over the years and another war would only weaken them. So it wasn't an option.
Before this when his husband presented the idea of marrying the eldest son she had also given her agreement but now she didn't think that small Astraxia which was already part of them could do much in this situation.
"Who said anything about marrying him with the princess of Astraxia?" Zachary looked at his wife, a small sly smirk lingering on his lips.
Abrielle was very good at reading his each and every thought. She had already suspected that something was wrong when Jade Gracia from Astraxia came and he didn't react much. When they had proposed this idea of bride choosing ceremony she was the best choice he had said. And has also put great importance on her but since he returned he has not talked even a word about it.
Her husband was cooking something and she has a very bad feeling about that.
"What do you mean?" She looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"I had thought about it very hard and at the end decided that we should let Donovan choose his wife on his own. If we force our choices on him then there is no meaning to this whole ceremony." Zachary waved his hand in the air and shrugged his shoulders.
Abrielle's eyes narrowed further.
Like hell, she will believe him.
She knew him better than anyone else did. And there was no way he became that generous and started to think about their children more than his kingdom and people.
She lifted one of her eyebrows and looked at him with an expression which said 'I'm not buying it,"
Seeing the look on her face Zachary cleared his throat.
"Ahem...What? Don't you believe me?" Well, he didn't have to ask that as it was clear as water. Abrielle shook her head.
"Tell me clearly Zach, what are you planning this time?" She looked at him and Zachary knew he couldn't fool her.

Ahem.... So now you guys have noticed that one more part of this universe is introduced.
Eastern empire of Dwarfs ( Goblins)
So I have tried to create a map according to my imagination but with my limited skill it didn't turn out well. And I'm broke to spend money on artists. So here is a simple way for you guys to understand.
I have a very bad sense of direction and that's why I have kept this world-building simple.
In East - kingdom of Dwarfs.
In West - Atlanea ocean and in middle of the sea small island, Atlanea. Human land.
In North - Northern empire ruled by Dragons.
In South - Southern kingdom of Witches...
I hope it is now clear enough. More information will come as the story goes on.
Hmm, I should make one axillary chap for this information, what do you guys think?
And one more thing. All the comments and reviews you sent on the book. I will select some funny or one that I like and feature them on Instagram and our discord server. So please join there.
