From the mouth of the queen of the dragon centipede, a large red gemstone came out, twenty-four red gemstones pulled out by Jean excitedly.
"Aslan!! It looks like we will be going to sea soon." Jean said happily.
Aslan smiled happily as he approached the red gemstone. Cedwyn and the others were confused and just looked at each other. Seeing the others confused, Jean tried to explain.
“This item is highly valued in Eldeviean.” Jean explained.
“People there can extract gemstones into our equipment to increase strength.”
“I knew that, but do you believe in those things?” Rouvin asked.
“I don't quite believe it,” Jean answered.
“He just believed because it could make him a lot of gold.” Aslan chimed in.
“Well… If it were about money you'd sniff it," Aslan added.
Hearing that, the others laughed. Jean, laughing too while sharing the red gems to everyone.
When it's all done, they’re going back to the tower. Karn, Rouvin and Cedwyn along with their spiritual bears carry the carcass of the centipede dragon queen they just killed.

Time has passed, the sun is about to set. It rained quite heavily in the forest and surrounding area. They all gathered in the tower. Aslan, who was staying alone upstairs, was approached by Farramir.
"Aslan, it's a pleasure to fight by your side." Farramir said.
“Yeah, you did well too.” Aslan Answered.
"Anyway, I think we would make a good team here," Farramir said.
“Hmm, what if we create a Guild?"
"Guild? For what?" Aslan asked.
Farramir was silent, he was confused because he only wanted to use them for his plan.
“Actually… I…”
“If you want to leave that stupid guild. Just leave, don't go there anymore.” Aslan interrupts.
“Don't be afraid they will look for you. If I were you, I would fight them. But if you are afraid, you can run away to Eldeviean or wherever you want…”
“If I were young, I would help you fuck that damn guild. But now is not the time for me to deal with such things.”
Aslan saw Farramir confused and patted him on the shoulder.
“I've met a lot of people. After seeing you, that damned guild is not your place.” Aslan said as he went downstairs.
Farramir stayed on the tower's top floor and thought about what Aslan said.

The rain was getting bigger and the lightning continued to welcome the night. The figure of a soldier wearing a black coat entered the royal palace. The well-built soldier got off his horse and approached Lord Varys, the advisor to the Kingdom of Ironvale.
“Recently, there have been a lot of reports monsters appearing,” Raynard said
“What kind of monster? In the kingdom, there are many 'monsters'. ” Varys said.
“It's a real monster, did you know some big monsters have been destroying villages lately ?” Raynard said.
"Yes, of course I know.”
"The kingdom has also deployed troops to expel the monster from the kingdom's territory."
"So you guys just pushed it away?" Raynard asked.
“Have you guys tried catching him?”
"If there’s a chance, we would have caught him," Varys said.
Raynard stood up bravely and called his men to bring him the monster he had caught. He got it when he was resting in the forest near Oakvale. That’s a Dracos Arxvastator.
The monster was first discovered when destroying the western fortress of the Osmeria kingdom. Since then, this monster has been named Draco Arxvastator, which means Fort destroying wyvern. At this time Raynard and his men captured a small Dracos Arxvastator. A seven-foot-long Dracos Arxvastator was seen in the iron cage carried by Raynard.
“Use this for royal research,” Raynard said.
"Also Greetings to King Aesgir."
Varys didn't expect that now he immediately saw Dracos Arxvastator in front of him. He immediately opened the cloth covering the monster. The four-legged wyvern showed its claws and fangs when it saw Varys. You can see thick golden scales and a ivory carapace on its shoulders and back. The monster jumped at Varys. Its muscular hind legs and tail shook the cage holding it. Varys took a few steps back in shock.
“This damn dog…”
“Thank you, Raynard,” he said.
"My pleasure,"
The blonde knight immediately left Lord Varys' residence. During the Great War, Raynard became Lord Varys' bodyguard when he helped defend the Kingdom of Ironvale from the Avaloria kingdom's rebellion. Until now their relationship is getting closer because Raynard is married to Lord Varys' daughter.
The next day Lord Varys gave Draco Devastator to King Asgeir in the morning at the Royal Hall.
“My King, Raynard, caught this monster in the forest area near Oakvale.”
"I wish Your Majesty wouldn't have to worry about monsters appearing because our people can kill or catch them."
Varys also removed the cloth covering the iron cage.
“ROARRRRR!” Dracos Arxvastator roars quite loudly.
“This Wyvern is still young. If we could catch the big one. The skin and carapace can be made into armor by the royal blacksmith.”
Hearing this, the King was interested
"So, we can prepare special soldiers to hunt those monsters." Said the King while walking towards the Wyvern in front of him.
“This horned wyvern is like a dog with a larger size.” The king continued to watch carefully.
Suddenly a royal guard came to King Asgeir.
“My Lord, our Guardian in Sequoia forest sent a report to the kingdom two days ago.”
“They are chasing the Queen Dragon Centipede nesting in Sequoia Forest.” The guard explained the condition of Aslan and the others who had been preparing two days ago.

Birds chirping in the sequoia forest. Aslan, Jean, Rouvin, Ivan, and Karn prepare to go to Redwood Valley, their destination is Bougenville Tavern.
They wanted to take a break while waiting for Jean's Wagon to be returned by Cedwyn and Arianell. Cedwyn is getting ready to go to Oldgate to visit his sister and Gaenor. Farramir and Virgil followed Cedwyn into Oldgate.
By noon they all walked towards Oldgate. The distance between Oldgate and the Sequoia Forest guard tower is not too far. It took all of them half a day to reach Oldgate.
"It was a pleasure to fight with you, I hope we meet again," Farramir said.
“We will meet again!” Ivan answered happily after having an exciting experience.
Aslan, Jean, Rouvin, Ivan, and Karn continue their journey towards Redwood Valley.
They walked along the path towards the bougainvillea tavern. Golden sunlight filters through colorful leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The area was overgrown with fir, pine and birch trees.
Some time had passed, it was already evening. The sunlight couldn’t reach the ground. They were halfway to the Bougenville Tavern.
"It's getting quite dark, shall we take a break?" Jean asked everyone.
“I want to keep going, but we're with Noble's son.” Aslan answered.
“If he’s tired, we can find a place to rest around here.”
While Ivan was thinking about whether to rest or not, Karn looked back.
"Ahh, we can stop walking now!"
"You mean rest?" Ivan asked.
"No, we keep walking." Karn said firmly.
Hearing that, everyone was confused by Karn's words.
"Just look over there!"
From afar, a horse carriage was walking towards them.
"That's so far away, how did you know?" Rouvin asked in surprise.
"The horse is its prey, it's normal for the monster to sense its prey" Aslan said,
"Don't tell me you're going to kill it."
"No, I'm not going to kill anyone." Karn answered.
"I just want to hitch a ride so we can get there quickly."
"I told you, he's changed." Ivan replied.
"Get rid of your bad thoughts, old man," Ivan said while waving his hand at the person driving the carriage.
The horse carriage was approaching. An old man with long white hair was seen. Jean walked closer.
“Excuse me, old man. We are with the noble son of Redwood Valley, he is Ivan, the youngest son of the baron there." Jean said while pointing at Ivan.
“Look at that. He is the real merchant.” Aslan grumbled.
“Now, he’s selling your name.” Aslan added while he looked at Ivan
“Can we take a ride to the Bougenville Tavern?” Jean asking
“The tavern is located before Redwood Valley..
*Cough*
“Red… Redwood Valley?”
“Su…sure… get into the Wagon, Travelers. I will go to Redwood Valley too.” The old man answered.
“Why are you so grumpy Aslan?” Rouvin asked.
“Don’t mind it. You will be like that when you get old.” Jean replied as he got into the carriage.
They all got into the old man's carriage and started off towards the Bougenville Tavern.
image [https://i.imgur.com/9SjK5rk.png]
Meanwhile, on the other hand, hearing the story from the guard made everyone in the Royal Hall shocked.
“Oh! That's good news. By now Aslan must have killed the monster.” Lord Varys said.
The king agreed to that.
"Who is on duty there?" he asked.
“Virgil Standos my lord.” Said the royal guard while looking at the report.
“Give me the report. You guys call the person who hunted the Dragon Centipede Queen.” Said the King while taking the report.
"Yes, my lords." The royal guard answered and immediately went outside to call Aslan and the others.

The old man's wagon wheels stopped at a tavern. The autumn breeze brushed the leaves around the Horse that had just stopped.
*Cough*
“Adventurers... Your destination has arrived." The Old Man said while looking back.
Aslan and the others exited the wagon,
"Thank you, old man, this is for you." Rouvin took out twenty pieces of gold and gave them to the old man.
"Finally…" Aslan sighed, stretching his body when he saw the Bougenville tavern.
They entered the tavern.
"Well meet travelers." Madame Isabelle welcomed them as they entered her tavern.
"How's your journey?"
image [https://i.imgur.com/9SjK5rk.png]
In the Oldgate, there were lots of people passing by. Oak leaves fluttering in the wind indicate autumn is underway.

This village is covered with various trees because Oldgate village is closest to the Sequoia forest. The village is very lush, and the people here are no less numerous. This place has always been used as a stopover for adventurers because it is at the junction of the routes between Bellenoon, Redwood Valley, and the kingdom of Osmeria.
Virgil, Farramir, and Cedwyn stopped in front of a house with a wagon next to the house. It was Jean's wagon that Arianell had used to go there when they were still in the Sequoia forest.
“I think this is the house, you can go inside. Farramir and I will wait at the tavern.” Virgil told Cedwyn to enter Physician Feng's house while he and Farramir waited in a nearby tavern.
"Sigh... we finally got some rest." Virgil straightened his legs and leaned against the wall next to his table.
"Anyway, what's your idea to use them so you can get out of the thief's guild?"
“After thinking about it, I won't use them. I'll be gone for a while.” Farramir downed his drink and began telling his story.
"Maybe I'll go with Cedwyn and live in the forest for a while."
“Aslan was right, maybe they're just scaring me so I keep going back to that damn Thieve’s guild, I have to try it.”
image [https://i.imgur.com/9SjK5rk.png]
Cedwyn tried to knock on the door in front of him, but Arianell, who saw him first from inside the house, immediately opened the door.
"Brother! I know you can do it!” Arianell was happy to see her brother killing the monster.
“How did you know I killed that damn centipede?” Cedwyn smiled and asked while looking at the surroundings of Physician Feng's house.
"If you're here, that means you've already defeated him." Hearing that, Cedwyn just smiled and asked,
"Where is Gaenor?"
“He is currently undergoing treatment, he will recover in a few days,” Said physician Feng as he walked out from his room.
"Oh… Jean isn't coming here? I thought he would come here."
"Gaenor's injuries are quite serious, the monster tore his hip bone, and it's possible he won't be able to stand up again." He said.

Evenings at the Oldgate Tavern called the Hungry Hag are filled with visitors. Virgil decided to go to the barracks to rest, while Farramir stayed at the Tavern.
“The monster attacked us!! Luckily I was able to sneak away without being noticed by that damn monster.” Said someone who was telling a story at the table next to where Farramir was sitting.
"Yes! Two days ago I saw a huge centipede monster passing through a tree quickly.” Said another.
A muscular man with long hair and a thick beard came to their table,
"Here's your order." He is Sigbrand, owner of the Hungry Hag tavern.
“If you are a traveler, don't go alone. Monsters began to appear. We don't know where this monster came from.”
“I heard that one of the villages in Rouvenport was destroyed by that large centipede.” He said.
"The centipede was dead, my friends and I killed it." Farramir, who was eavesdropping, started talking.
Hearing that, everyone looked at Farramir. Knowing everyone was listening and looking at him, He showed the red gemstone which was shared by Jean.
While the others were confused by the gems he showed, Sigbrand put on a shocked expression. Farramir, who was aware of this, immediately focused on him.
“You know this?” Farramir asked while he brought the large gemstone closer to them.
“Where did you get this?”
"Of course I know, it's very expensive at my place, even though it's small." Sigbrand replied, shocked by what he saw.
This is the first time seeing a gem as big as his fist. This gem is perfectly round, there are no stains in it.
“This is what I got after killing Queen Dragon Centipede.”Farramir put the red gemstone on the table.
"The monster you mentioned is a Dragon centipede."
"You killed him?" Sigbrand asked.
"Of course," Farramir answered calmly
“Hmm… interesting.” Sigbrand held the red gem that Farramir had thrust onto the table.
“What if ten thousand gold pieces? ” Sigbrand intends to buy it.
"That's fine, but tell me first, what is this thing for." Farramir wondered why the person in front of him wanted to buy it.
“In my village, this gemstone was worn on clothes or robes.”
“If extracted, it makes clothes or robes reduce physical attack damage." Sigbrand explained.
The others listened to their conversation.
"Come with me down, Adventurer." Sigbrand put the gemstone away and walked downstairs to get the gold

‘Stab!’ The arrow stuck into the wood that Virgil had marked. The morning was slightly sunny with a cold, dry wind typical of autumn.
“You killed that monster?” A sturdy figure with long ears approached Virgil. The elf is the General of the barracks in the Oldgate.
“Sir Angreth…” Virgil bowed to him.
"Yes, I killed him. The dragon centipede queen is very big.”
"The people in the barracks were excited when they heard you defeated the monster." Sir Angreth saw an arrow that had stuck perfectly into the archery target.
"There is no need to doubt your abilities." Sir Angreth was very happy to have such talented soldiers in his barracks.
"Don't forget that I didn't defeat him alone, I was with Aslan and other friends," Virgil recalled the time he fought the dragon centipede queen.
"There were eight of us at that time, some of them protected me so I could attack freely."
“Aslan? That bastard was with you hunting those monsters?” Sir Angreth is curious about this, Aslan was his friend when he was young.
They went through a lot together, Aslan who had to stay in the kingdom, and Angreth who was assigned to the Oldgate barracks meant they rarely saw each other.
"You know him?" Virgil was curious about that.
"Of course," he answered.
"I know him well,hel..."
Someone came wearing heavy armor with a light blue robe, indicating that he was someone from the Ironvale kingdom.
"Angreth, your man named Virgil has been invited to the kingdom." Kasper walked over to report to Angreth.
“Congratulations to you Virgil.” Angreth turned to Virgil who was holding a bow.
"You're Virgil?" Kasper looked at Virgil
"You were invited to the kingdom with your seven friends who are hunting for the Dragon Centipede Queen."
“Then, I should tell my other friends now.” Virgil turned to Angreth to ask to be relieved of his duties in a few days.
"Go ahead, that's the royal call."
"Thank You." Virgil immediately rushed to pick up Farramir and Cedwyn to pick up the others.
Farramir, who was in physician Feng's manor, was eating his food together with Cedwyn and Arianell. The figure of a royal guard can be seen carrying the royal wagon. He stopped in front of Physician Feng's Manor.
Seeing the figure of a man with short hair and wearing royal armor who got out of the wagon made Farramir recognize him.
"What are you doing here?" Farramir was a little confused seeing Virgil who seemed to be in a hurry.
“We were invited by the kingdom of Ironvale.” Virgil moved closer to those who were having breakfast.
"We have to hurry to pick up Jean and the others."
Hearing this, they’re left, Cedwyn uses Jean's wagon with Farramir, and Virgil himself drives the royal wagon. Arianell stayed at Physician Feng's house looking after Gaenor.
On his way out Farramir saw Sigbrand walking and greeted Farramir.
In the afternoon they arrived at the Bougenville Tavern but the tavern was closed, Farramir looked at the building behind the tavern.
He saw Karn brandishing his Halberd...
"umm... Karn, what are you doing?" Farramir hesitated a little because he was a little scared to see Karn.
"Ah! You've arrived here to return the wagon," Karn immediately put down his halberd and walked inside to call Jean and the others.
Farramir looked at what he was doing, it turned out that Karn was cutting up the dragon centipede carcass with Bilji and Madam Isabelle.
Jean and the others came out of the tavern.
"Jean, we are all invited to the kingdom." Virgil came to Jean and the others.
"They appreciate that we have killed the dragon centipede queen, we have to hurry."
Jean saw Aslan and the others. They all seemed to agree to go there.
"Ok then, take me to the Kingdom now." Jean agreed then he prepared his things
"But, give me time to prepare."

Near the north wall of Oldgate, a figure with long hair walked into Baron Demetrius Hale's castle. When he wanted to go inside, he was greeted by a woman in a black coat.
The woman immediately led him to a room where Baron Demetrius Hale was already staying there. The Elf man with a beard and reddish-orange eyes immediately spoke to the muscular, long-haired man who was Sigbrand.
"What is it ?" Demetrius was a little confused by Sigbrand's arrival.
"You know this?" Sigbrand took out the Red gemstone he bought from Farramir. The red gemstone is the size of an adult's fist.
“That's so big! Where did you get it from?” Demetrius was shocked when he saw the red gemstone which was the size of his fist.
“Is this real?”
"Of course it's real," Sigbrand explained,
"I got this from someone who managed to kill the Queen Dragon Centipede."
“Queen Dragon Centipede? The monster that destroyed a village was killed?” Three times he was shocked by Sigbrand.
"Hmm interesting… This is very big. twenty-five thousand gold pieces?” Demetrius tried to bargain
“Ah! That's what I want to hear!” Sigbrand immediately gave it to Demetrius.

Several trips brought them closer. Rouvin increasingly believed that their meeting was fate. In the middle of the quiet night, Rouvin, who was still awake, chatted with Karn, who was on guard.
"I think we can continue this adventure for days to come." Rouvin sat facing the campfire.
"What are you going to do after this trip?"
"Nothing, I just don't want to look like usual, I don't want to be taken advantage of. Maybe I'll stay with Ivan." Karn answered coldly as usual.
"I agree." Farramir who heard that felt like a breath of fresh air
"I would be happy if that happened, if you want to create a guild or something I will join in."
"You're still a member of the Thieve's Guild, right? I also had time to think like that. But I'm confused about what we would do if we were together." Jean showed the gold pieces in his hand.
"My goal now is to find this piece by doing business."
Aslan, who woke up, tried to follow the topic of conversation.
"Jean, maybe now is the time." Aslan said while looking at Jean.
"Hoamm, I don't know... I just want to enjoy the moment with all of you." Jean said while lying down looking at the bright sea of stars.
Cedwyn eavesdropped on the conversation, it would be fun if that happened, but he had to rebuild his clan, he wanted to continue what his parents fought for.
image [https://i.imgur.com/9SjK5rk.png]
The two caravans had arrived at the royal castle in the afternoon, they were all greeted like heroes. Aslan missed the kingdom a little. He hasn't been here for a long time.
The Ironvale Kingdom has existed for hundreds of years under Emperor Magnus Ramishtek. Now it is the seventh descendant of Ramishtek.
This King is still very young, he is eighteen years old and this is his first year as King of Ironvale. King Asgeir has blonde hair and blue eyes. His handsome face always reminds him of his late father, Orvar Ramishtek.
He is the King of Asgeir. Everyone bowed when King Asgeir arrived with two royal guards and three advisors. Since King Orvar fell ill, he ordered every noble from each region to guard and guide Asgeir who would be his successor.
"Welcome to Ironvale." King Asgeir said.
"King Asgeir has prepared dinner and rest in his palace." Lord Conrad said.
"Thank you, my lord, it is an honor for us to receive this invitation," Virgil said on behalf of the others.
One of the advisors noticed Jean and the others. He counted the number of guests who came.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, allow me to ask something." Lord Conrad was curious so he asked permission from the king and asked.
“Virgil, from the report you sent to the kingdom, there are eight of you. But this is only seven people.”
"Karn is not one of us, he just happened to be there and offered help," Jean said.
Hearing that, Lord Conrad, who remained suspicious, wanted to confirm it with the royal officers who were on guard in front of the royal castle.
"Too bad! I want to see Karn, the living legend." He called his aide
"Ask the officers at the front, how many people came here?"
They all began to enter the royal palace. Agatha, the mother of King Asgeir welcomed them all to the royal hall and led them to the royal dining room.
"You can put your weapons here," Agatha said.
Jean and the others looked at each other. Virgil and Aslan immediately put down their weapons, as did the others except for Karn who had used stealth mode when entering the kingdom.
So Karn didn't go inside, he stayed around the kingdom watching everything. He was told by Jean to be on guard if something unexpected happened. This plan had been discussed by Aslan while they were on their way. Aslan knew the purpose of the kingdom in inviting them all to dinner. This is the royal way when you want to take advantage of something.
Asgeir walked into the room from another door followed by his three advisors Lord Varys, and Lord Kazamir.
"So, how did you find the dragon centipede?" King Asgeir asked.
"Starting from my village, Orchidvile was attacked by dragon centipedes," Rouvin explained the details.
"The dragon centipedes destroyed the village with great ferocity."
Jean looked around the room. There was only the King, his mother, and two advisors.
He realized that something was wrong, so he crossed his fork and knife and drank the wine until it was finished.
The king was a little surprised to see Jean's behavior.
"Oh, I'm sorry my king, the dishes here are so delicious, I can't control myself," Jean said very gently.
The king laughed after hearing that.
"Ha.. ha..ha… please go ahead, waiter! Get more wine for our guests." The waiter arrived and immediately served more wine on the table.
"Go on," Agatha said curiously.
"Yes, I was safe because I wasn't there, I was opening a stall at Revounport, sir," Rouvin explained.
"Then, when I came home, my village was covered in blood, many village people had died, so we decided to find out and start tracking him."
"After one day's exploring, I managed to track it. The monster was moving to Sequoia Forest." Rouvin explained while looking at Virgil indicating his gratitude.
"That night we didn't find anything, but on the second night we met Virgil who was on guard, and thanks to Virgil's help we found it."
"My lord, the royal guards cannot be underestimated. It hasn't been long since I left the kingdom but the progress of the royal soldiers is very good." Aslan praised.
Agatha just smiled when she heard Aslan's praise. She has always been happy with Aslan's abilities.
"You can return to the kingdom, Ironvale will always welcome you," She said.
Hearing that, royal advisor Kazamir and Varys looked at each other and smiled.
"Ah! Our soldiers' progress is not very fast, but you have been playing with this useless baron's son for too long." Asgeir said while glancing at Ivan arrogantly.
"You think we don't know that your father secretly has good relations with the kingdom of Tyrondale?"
Hearing King Asgeir's words, everything fell silent. Aslan, Jean, and the others looked at each other.
Tyrondale is a kingdom that controls the southern part of the Weznorands mainland. The kingdom allegedly wanted to conquer the Ironvale kingdom after Orvar's death.
"Sorry milord, but I didn't know that." Ivan answered coldly.
He didn't know that because he didn't care about royal political intrigue.
"Useless bastard! I can't understand why my father chose your family to be barons there." Asgeir said annoyed.
Hearing that,Agatha immediately held Asgeir's hand to calm him down.
"Now, I want you all to swear to serve me," Asgeir said firmly, getting up from his chair.
“You will be sent to conquer the Kingdoms and clans on this land that refuses to submit to me!” he said.
"Aslan and all of you will lead my troops!" he continued.
Hearing that, Aslan and the others remained calm, because this had been predicted by Aslan while still on the way.
When he learned the news about the Ironvale kingdom inviting them to dinner, Aslan already guessed where it would go, so while on the way Aslan and Jean had asked Rouvin to change a story about their encounter.
So, Jean's behavior of crossing the fork and knife and drinking the wine quickly was a sign that dinner had to be finished soon and the real story about their accidental meeting had to be hidden.
Rouvin, who saw this, immediately changed the story that they had all been on the same team for a long time.
"With all due respect, sir, I am happy to be able to serve the kingdom, but I'm just a trader. Aslan hasn't fought on the battlefield for a long time and we all know that he chose to leave the kingdom because he didn't want to do things like that." Rouvin said.
"Sir, honestly I am interested in your invitation, but give us time to convince Aslan to join because if he doesn't join, we’re here like ordinary soldiers who don't have any experience. Unlike Aslan who has a lot of experience." Jean added in a soft tone.
Hearing the response from the two made King Asgeir a little calmer. Turns out persuading them wasn't as difficult as he thought.
Lord Conrad entered and walked towards the king. He whispered something.
"Our observer soldier in the tower saw there were eight people. But when they entered the hall, there were only seven. I'm sure it was Karn.”
Jean, who heard because he had a sharp sense of hearing, signaled to the others that they knew Karn was with them.
"Where is he? Karn is with you, right?" Asgeir looked at Aslan and the others.
"Stop playing with me!"
“Ah! You think I'm just a little kid, eh?” Asgeir is getting annoyed
“Find that damn Karn now!”
“I want all of you along with Karn to serve me and I'll wait until tomorrow to swear to me.”
After those words were spoken, King Asgeir left the dining room with his mother. Lord Varys and Kazamir got up from their chairs and invited several soldiers to escort them all.
"Take them to the lower prison. Don't let them all interact with each other." Lord Conrad said as he moved closer to Aslan.
"Sorry, but this is an order."
Lord Varys and Lord Kazamir only glanced at each other. They walked to their respective places.
Only Conrad ensures that Aslan and the others enter the lower prison. Jean and his friends are still calm in this condition because Aslan's guess is correct and Karn can help him get out of prison easily.
Virgil was surprised, he thought Aslan was doing the right thing when he left the kingdom.
'This kingdom is full of people hungry for power. I thought indulging in other people's endless greed would be a waste.' Virgil muttered. Seeing all this, leaving the kingdom began to cross his mind.
Jean and the others began to enter their respective cells. Jean started to lie down. The others took a break. Without anyone knowing, Karn was sneaking towards the prison
