Hello, it's Aidka!
Firstly, I want to apologize for the long hiatus. A lot of stuff happened in my life, some of which were pretty bad, that I don't want to talk about. Due to it, I lost my motivation to write.
In fact, I was planning to drop the novels, but when I remembered that Fourth Prince was about to end, and when I saw so many patreons that still supported me even when I had almost two months without writing, I decided to persevere.
This past month was a kind of trial to see if I could get used to writing again. Fortunately, it seems like I managed to regain my motivation, so let's hope we can continue this long journey.
About my plans for the future. Firstly, the schedule will be according to the goals of patreon (right now it's eight chapters per week). I won't increase it unless the goals of patreon are achieved.
Secondly, Fourth Prince is about to end. There are only two big arcs left before the novel ends and I should finish writing them after two or three months. Science/Magic, on the other hand, still has a long way to go.
Thirdly, I had been writing a new series for a while now. I continued writing it even when I was on hiatus (maybe because I did not feel pressured to post it, I could relax while writing it). Right now, I had written about 300 pages, which is almost 100 chapters! A lot!
I plan to start posting it this week, I had not decided on the schedule yet. If I'm free tomorrow, maybe I'll post the synopsis and a few chapters on Patreon.
The name of the new series is [Hey, Why Are my Skills so Weird!?]. It's a modern fantasy with skills, dungeons, and a bit of R-Rated content. I enjoy writing it a lot, although I had not finished mapping the entire novel in my head yet.
Lastly, thank you for supporting me all this while. Truly, I would have stop writing if I don't see how many people encouraged me on Patreon. It helped me a lot.
With love, Aidka~

"Who dares to kill my brother with me here!"
Eres's voice was filled with power, and the aura exuding from her body was so overwhelming that the air around her was trembling.
Bloed was surprised to see it. Right now, Eres's aura was no inferior to a demigod!
It was even stronger than some of the demigods Bloed had met until now.
"… Eres," Bloed murmured, causing Eres to look at him briefly with a concerned look.
But one instant later, she glared in front of her again.
In the direction of the three hidden demigods.
"King's Shadows! How do you dare to try to kill my brother!" She snarled angrily.
However, the demigods did not reply, as though they did not hear Eres's words.
Eres became even angrier seeing that.
"Do you think you can't pretend you are not them by keeping silent!? I can recognize your nefarious mana from kilometers of distance! Tell me, was it my father who sent you!?"
The hidden demigods still did not reply.
"… I see, so it was him, huh." Eres gritted her teeth in anger.
Bloed frowned, and an expression of realization appeared on his face.
King's Shadows was the secret organization serving the Kingdom of Alterna's Royal Family. They only followed orders from the king, and sometimes, from the queen or the princes.
This time, though, it seemed that they were here following the king's orders.
'… So he still wants to kill me, huh.' Bloed smiled wryly to himself. For some reason, though, he did not find it surprising.
After all, that man was the one that ordered his exile, despite Bloed being his own flesh and blood.
"… That bastard." Eres gripped her sword so hard that it was trembling. "He dares to try to kill Glenn… Was exiling him not enough!?" Eres asked with extreme anger in her voice.
But when she saw that the three hidden demigods did not plan to reply, her mana became violent!
"Answer me!" She shouted, and her sword was swung.
[Skysword]!
Everything two hundred meters in front of Eres was cut into two, including space itself!
The power of the publicly acknowledged as the strongest sword technique in the world was revealed by the black-haired princess!
In front of such a sword, the hidden demigods were forced to reveal themselves to avoid it!
However, their expressions soon changed. Because they realized that Eres had appeared in front of them with her sword clad in transparent flames!
"Die!" She said as her sword descended towards one of the demigods!
The demigod hurriedly used a dagger to stop Eres's attack, only to realize that the flames on Eres's sword became bigger, devouring his dagger instantly and surging towards him!
[Skyflames]!
The expression of the demigod changed. He hurriedly created a barrier of mana to stop the flames but it was consumed instantly.
"No!" The demigod screamed, his expression distorted in fear. And in the next second, he was consumed by the flames.
However, Eres did not stop there. As soon as she killed one of them, she kicked the air and rushed towards the remaining two.
The two remaining assassins looked at each other with terror in their eyes. And in the next instant, they made the same choice.
Instead of confronting Eres, they rushed towards Bloed!
They did not dare to harm Eres, the beloved daughter of their master. And at the same time, they did not dare to leave without accomplishing their mission. Thus, they could only kill Bloed as quickly as possible.
As long as they killed Bloed, they could run away from the terrifying witch of flames.
"You dare!" Eres's expression turned extremely cold. Killing intent filled her black eyes, and her anger reached a new height.
However, the two assassins ignored it and charged towards Bloed in a pincer attack.
Unfortunately for them, killing Bloed was not easy.
Before their daggers could reach him, Regina summoned two energy blades, stopping the two of them in their tracks!
She had been protecting Bloed while Eres attacked the demigods, in case that one of them attempted to attack him. Thus, as soon as the two assassins showed the intention to attack Bloed, she moved.
Her golden eyes glowed faintly as her psychic energy surged outwards, turning into countless swords.
Then, the swords flew towards the two demigods!
The demigods hurriedly avoided the swords and jumped backward. However, Regina chased after them, wielding the two energy blades on her hands skillfully, as energy swords rained on them.
Fortunately for the two demigods, Regina was wary of the two demigods of the Church of Slaughter who had not moved yet; thus, she reserved a bit of her strength.
But even so, the Valkyrie was slowly cornering them.
With each slash of her energy blades, Regina cornered them more and more. Even when she was fighting two against one, and even though she was injured, she was showing clear superiority.
The power of the Valkyrie was so overwhelming that the two demigods found themselves hard-pressed to cope with her attacks.
Right then, Eres also arrived and attacked the two demigods from behind.
"If you won't talk, then die!"
The expressions of the two demigods changed.
They barely managed to avoid Eres's attack; but facing a powerful enemy in front of them and a powerful enemy behind them, they soon started to panic.
"Dammit! Saint of Slaughter! How long do you plan to watch! Remember our promise!"
"I know, I know." The Saint of the Church of Slaughter, who had been observing the battle with an expression of interest, smiled gently. "I help you to kill the boy and you help me to get the heart. I remember our promise."
Three powerful monsters appeared from his shadows. The first was a wolf, the second a tiger, and the third a dragon.
At the same time, the demigod beside him raised his sword, filling it with mana.
But when Bloed thought that they were going to attack them and was about to activate [Overdrive], the Saint of the Church of Slaughter giggled.
"But you see, I don't need your help anymore. Why should I care if you live or die?"
Then, his three monsters attacked.
But instead of attacking Bloed, they attacked the place where Liu Ying and the girls were.
To get Princess Elwha's Heart of the Forest.
