Arias was already gone, but what he did left the whole palace in a state of chaos. The damage he caused was worse than if a beast invaded the city. Aside from dozens of soldiers who had lost their lives, one of the Four Royal Sages--the main force of the kingdom--was also killed. And worse, the King of Tieros was also left severely injured by his attack.
Barton’s death and the king’s injury were completely hushed up. If this big news spread, the other kingdoms might seize the opportunity to attack their Kingdom.
“Why did Master Arias hurt Father?”
“Father, will you be alright?”
“Father, I’m sure your wound will heal after you take some rest.”
Out of concern, the princes and the princess had come to check on King Angelo. They never imagined that such an event would ever happen.
“I’ll be alright. There’s no need for you to worry. ...Don’t cry, Eneza. I’m the ruler of this kingdom. There’s no way a wound like this will kill me.”
