For The Glory Of Sitia Empire - Chapter 109

Hiding behind the bushes, Edgar tightly covered Everly’s mouth while trying to calm his heart.

‘ We are doomed we are doomed we are doomed we are doomed we are doomed we are doomed we are doomed we are doomed!!! ‘

Beatrice Ve Gourchia, Queen of Mojin kingdom, as well as Lennox’s aunt. Although the two nations were in harmony, their rulers are not, Always fighting and bickering whenever they met. It got even worse after Lennox was born, as Beatrice isn’t able to have offspring, Mojin kingdom’s royal blood was carried on by her sister, which makes Lennox an heir of Mojin.

Would Jennings let his eldest prince be taken by another country? Oh, hell no!

A barbaric battle ignited between Jennings and Beatrice until Lennox reached seven and declared that he would rather inherit Sitia. The internal war ended but the hostility between the two rulers stayed the same or even worsened.

However, at the moment neither Jennings nor Bernard was in the palace, with Everly here as an irresistible eye candy, who can stop this woman from stealing her?

‘ We…we need to wake up the prince ‘

With his mind in a mess, Edgar seemed to have forgotten how strong Everly was, and carried her on his back. Since she barely weighed anything, Edgar was able to swiftly sneak into the Emperor’s palace building. Just as he reached the hallway leading to Lennox’s quarters, he saw Beatrice with two guards and other servants around her, standing at the other end of the hallway.

” There! Catch them ”

” AAAAAAHHHHHH! ”

Edgar instantly fled away while screaming internally like a coward. These two guards were undoubtedly top-notch trained guards, how can two children escape from them?!

‘ Why are we running? ‘

Everly was so confused by this sudden change of events. She turned her head and saw two figures in pitch black chasing them like grim reapers, and her face instantly paled. Nobody noticed a small flower pattern glowing on her index finger.

After taking a turn, Edgar quickly entered a random room to hide. Seeing that the two kids entered a room, the guards looked at each other and came to a mutual agreement. Without saying a word, one of them went to inform the Queen, while the other stood watch at the door. Both of them knew who Everly was, if the Queen wants to do something to the little girl then she should do it herself.

Emperor Sitia won’t spare them ba!

After entering the room, Edgar brought Everly behind the curtains and crouched there. Thinking that they have lost the two guards, Edgar decided to stay hidden until the guards search somewhere else.

” Why are the bad guys chasing us? “, Everly asked in a small voice.

” You saw that woman before, she is trying to steal you away. She wants to take you with her somewhere far away and you won’t be able to come back ”

He wasn’t lying to her on purpose, that’s what his brothers told him trying to scare him and he actually believed it. Both of them were frightened by their own imagination. Upon hearing the door open and a woman’s steps approaching them, the two instantly stiffened.

Beatrice excitedly walked to where the kids were obviously hiding. She had never seen such a beautiful child. Since Jennings wasn’t around and Lennox was asleep, might as well take her back to Mojin.

Nobody’s gonna know!

She stopped in front of the curtain, took a deep breath and pushed it aside. The moment the curtains were lifted, Everly’s cry exploded. Seeing the white-faced Edgar shielding the pitifully crying Everly, both trembling like frightened rabbits, the smile on Beatrice’s face froze.

‘ am I that scary….? ‘

She didn’t have times to react when suddenly all windows in the room were shut and curtains were drawn tight. Light stones gradually illuminated a figure entering the room.

Lennox had a cold face as pheromones were subconsciously leaking from his body. An uninvited guest, who obviously shouldn’t be here, was bullying his babies, made them cry and disturbed his sleep….Of course, he was pissed off, nobody touches his babies!

” What do you think you are doing, bothering my children? ”

Lennox passed by Beatrice and went to pick up The little girl. Everly buried her face in his shoulders, crying silently with occasional chokes.

With one hand carrying Everly and the other patting Edgar’s head, Lennox turned to Beatrice and said impatiently.

” What are you doing here? We are not expecting any envoys from Mojin ”

Beatrice spread her hands and playfully said:” Oh my, why are you always so tense, relax young man. I came to visit my relatives, is that not allowed? ”

Lennox had no patience to deal with her nonsense:” a ruler stepped into our Empire’s territory unannounced nor invited, sneaked into the imperial palace and attempted to harm an imperial guest. This political conflict could lead to war between the two nations if not explained thoroughly ”

” Tsk, you and your serious ass ”

Beatrice walked in a haughty manner and sat on the couch, like a kid throwing a tantrum. Lennox really wanted to beat this childish old woman but he has to keep it in for the sake of blood relations.

” there is something I need to discuss with you ”

Her tone was serious and a bit troubled. Lennox sighed, it seems she came here to weigh him with more things to do.

” I will send the children back ”

Lennox gestured to Edgar to follow him and exited the room. Once they were out, he cast a spell on Everly and she soon fell asleep. After he passed her to one of the servants waiting outside, Lennox turned to Edgar. He put his hand on the other’s shoulder and slightly curved his lips.

” You helped her when I wasn’t around, many thanks ”

Edgar was almost blinded by how radiant his idol was. This was the first time he has ever seen Lennox put on a normal smile, not the evil and mocking ones.

Lennox pretended not to notice the other’s shiny eyes and wide open jaw. He removed his hand and took a step to the side.

” tonight, call your sister-in-law and the two clowns over to have a late tea party. The little girl will start crying when she wakes up ”

Edgar stayed there in a daze for a long while before he came back to his sense.
