Chương 31: Battle (2)

"Rose?!"

King Lucas was surprised when he heard the familiar voice of his daughter. He turns his head and saw a beautiful young lady running towards him.

"It's really you!"

Tightly embracing his daughter, King Lucas already forget that he was in a battle just now. Rose with her head in his chest was crying like a little girl. The pitiful appearance of his little daughter makes his heart feels pain.

After a couple of minutes, Rose finally stopped crying and wipe her tear stain face. She looks at her father and said like a spoil little kid, "Father you didn't know how worried I was when brother told me that you are poisoned and unconscious. I couldn't even sleep properly thinking about what I can do"

King Lucas rub his daughter's head and said warmly, "I know, father makes you worry this time. But I'm already alright as I have Elder Fynas to help remove the poison in my body"

"Aunty Selena" Rose walks in front of Selena and greeted her respectfully. Since she was young, she was very close to Selena. Her mother has a very good relationship with Selena and the two treated each other as sisters. They are often together drinking tea and tending the gardens in the palace.

"Look at you, I didn't notice that the spoil little kid has grown up this big already" Selena pulls Rose into her embrace tightly.

However, while they were busy in their heartwarming reunion. Fynas eyes didn't was focused on Swain who was just standing several feet away from them. He could feel that this man is not ordinary. From the air coming from his body, he knew that the man was definitely a powerful expert.

'Even the aura coming out from his body is not weaker than the headmaster. Who is this man and why is he here?' Fynas thought inside his mind.

King Lucas noticed something, and that is that the barbarians were not attacking them. His eyes then turned to the man with gray hair and just like Fynas, he had felt a powerful aura coming out from him.

"Rose, these barbarians, why are you with them?" King Lucas whispered to his daughter confused about why would his daughter appear with them.

Rose felt his father acting funny because of how he lowered his voice let out a short giggle before saying, "Father don't worry, they are my brother's subordinates. The barbarians were defeated by brother and his servant and they are now under the control of the slave contract. They are all very strong especially Swain, he was the Grand General who serves brother"

"You say what?!" it is not Fynas nor King Lucas who speak this time. It was Selena who steps forward and stares at Rose. She seems to not believe what she just heard.

Rose smiles understanding her shock, so she repeats again, "Aunt, they are big brother Lori's subordinates. They all listen to his words and they are all very powerful"

"Is what she said true? Then where is Lori, let me see him I want to ask him" Selena said.

At this time, Swain walks forward and said, "My name is Swain and I follow young master Lori's orders. And about what Rose just said, all of that is true"

Boom!

In a building, several guards slammed to the wall heavily turning them to meat paste. This place is where the criminals of the capital were held captive. This is the only prison n this kingdom, and now, it was being attacked by three individuals.

The three were, of course, Lori and his two summon. Since he heard that his second mother Mill was being imprisoned here, he wanted to take her away.

"Young man you attack the guards in this prison means that you are here for something or someone. Why don't you free us all and maybe we can be useful to you" a man behind a cell said.

"Right, right, if you take us with you. We can help you with what you wanted to do"

The voices of the prisoners imprisoned sounded in the dark path. They all tried to urge Lori in freeing them all. Some of them were here for years, their desire to get out of this place is very high so they offer Lori their help in exchange for being free.

But Lori ignores them all, he didn't even bother to take a single glance at them as he continues to walk forward. He continues to walk until he noticed a well-lit area at the end. HE walks towards it and just as he expected, his second mother Mill was there sitting with a depressed expression in her face.

"The second mother, I'm here to take you away" Lori called out.

Mill who was sitting with her head down felt a tremble in her body when she heard the voice talking to her. In the whole capital, there is only one person who calls her second mother. And that is Lori who was sent to the Mountain Cloud City.

That's why when she looked up, she was stunned to see Lori standing on the other side of the small room with a warm smile on his face. She immediately stands up and quickly walks towards Lori.

"Lori, is that really you? How can you suddenly appear here? What if the guards see you, they will take you and bring you to that villainous queen. Quickly leave second mother and escape the capital. Your mother told me in the past that your grandfather is an elder in the Bright Summer Academy. You go there and ask for help to save your mother and father. I will be safe here as that queen won't do anything to me because of my eldest daughter" Mill said quickly as her eyes look at the area where Lori comes from. She was worried that guards would suddenly appear and see Lori in this place. When that happens, even she wouldn't be able to help Lori escape.

Lori felt warm in his heart when he saw how worried she was about him. But this only intensifies his anger towards the queen and everyone who follows her. "Second mother don't worry about me. Didn't you notice that there is no one coming in this place? That is because all the guards were already defeated. We can now go out of this place safely"

Mill also felt weird about how Lori could come into this place without getting caught. It seems that the guards were already defeated so he can go in freely. Lori already opens the steel door and help her went out.

"Alright, the second mother will listen to you. But if the guards find us outside, you must promise me you will escape quickly" Mill said with a worried expression on her face.

"I will listen to send mother" Lori decided to just agree with her. He knew the personality of her second mother, although she was shy and introverted most of the time. If she decided on one thing, even his father couldn't change her mind.

"That's good"

Outside the prison, Crocodile and Katakuri were already waiting for him. When Lori was talking with his second mother, the two went out as they felt something happening outside the prison. When they came out, they were surrounded by several soldiers of the capital. And a fight broke out ending with the guards being easily defeated.

After that, Lori escorted Mill to a safe location and let her rest in a room.

"System I want to take my reward for my mission"

A light figure appeared in front of him lighting the whole place. Several seconds later, a slender and very youthful woman with blue eyes and black hair appeared in front of him. Her hair is long is worn as a large braid down the front of her body.
