Divine Emperor of Death

Young Leader Barisʼs heart swelled in anger and jealousy before he calmed it down. However, he couldnʼt calm his lust.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down again when he suddenly remembered that he saw a marriage ceremony taking place nearby along with his group when they barged into the Royal Palace.

His lips curved into a grin as his mind thought of a ruthless yet sinister plan, ”Forget queens and princesses... What greater pleasure is there than stealing a woman from her man? Especially on the day of their wedding?”

”Shall I recall the group which went to have fun with the palace maids?” Kron spoke as he blinked his eye, not minding about the words Young Leader Baris spoke. It was as if he didnʼt care and would only work towards his master to satisfy their needs.

Young Leader Barisʼs brows narrowed as he thought for a moment before nodding his head in agreement, ”Call those bastards back! How daring of them to have fun when I donʼt have any!?”

Kron simply nodded his head and propelled away.

In the near distance, a person sensed it all with his Soul Sense, however, he looked at the beauties underneath him, each and one of them trying to please him through their own innocent ways while he pounded at them in twisted pleasure.

Nina saw Lucia and Glyn leaving the Inn as her eyes were filled with worry and anxiety. She couldnʼt help but pray to the heavens that they should remain safe in their effort to rescue Lucas, her lover.

”Iʼm useless...” She muttered, however, she subconsciously looked towards her stomach and was reminded of the baby that she is nurturing in her womb. She instantly held herself back from following them and obediently headed back to her room they had reserved on the top floor of the Inn.

She closed the door and sat towards the windows as she gazed outside as a feeling of anxiety enveloped her heart.

Her heart slowly turned heavy as time passed by...

ʼLucas...ʼ Nina couldnʼt help but think of the first time they met.

There was a person who was even younger than Lucas, he had saved them at that time, in the bandit cave of the Farz Mountains. She even felt that her fate would change from that time onwards while her heart skipped a beat.

Nevertheless, she didnʼt expect the person she would come to like be the person who was behind their benefactor at that time, viewing them with sympathetic and tender eyes.

After she had become a fugitive who killed one of her family members, she ran away and found Lucas and Lucia along with her little brother in the Cloud Spring Mercenaries. Their welcome was something she didnʼt expect, and ʼhisʼ welcome was something she certainly didnʼt expect.

The way they interacted slowly became ambiguous and once they realized it, they quickly became intimate. However, the separation she had to face after the fall of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries was something she didnʼt expect, not even in her dreams.

Even then, they met and regrouped from time to time, were intimate with each other in times of distress, slowly becoming a real couple, even having assurance in her body now.

She took a deep breath and exhaled her anxiousness as she smiled, however, she suddenly froze when she saw a group of people passing through the streets in royal clothes.

Her heartbeat turned erratic and she moved away from the windows as she tried to suppress her fear, ʼT-Theyʼre the Arc Song Mercenaries!ʼ

Outside the window, pompously walking on the road were a few people in royal clothes. Their way of walking was crude, however, the outfits they wore told the surrounding onlookers that they were an entourage of the royal family, strolling on the streets for sightseeing.

However, Lucia had recognized the highly infamous Kron and a few people but she couldnʼt tell who was in the lead. However, she could guess who led this group and that was undoubtedly Vass, who is assumed to be one of the important subordinates of Arc Song Mercenariesʼ Leader Jawan.

Rumor had it that he was being nurtured into the right hand of Leader Jawan.

ʼWhy are they dressed in royal clothes?ʼ

Nina turned suspicious, however, she couldnʼt find an answer but instantly arrived at a conclusion, ʼCould it be that Lucas is kept somewhere else?ʼ

She didnʼt know how she arrived at this conclusion but only felt it is the case when she saw heading somewhere with their disguise, acting like they were royals.

She instantly took a message talisman and was about to inform Lucia and Glyn, however, she froze as she swiftly stopped herself as a thought echoed in her mind.

ʼWhat if Lucas is really held in the prison near the Royal Palace? Wouldnʼt I be ruining their chance to rescue him?ʼ

She inclined her head and slightly stood up as she looked out of the window. She could see them advancing past the streets, away from her view.

Her eyes glinted in determination. With a dash, she quickly exited the room as she ran down and chased them to the streets.

However, she didnʼt get close but stayed at a certain distance where she would always be able to see them vaguely. She didnʼt use any skills and abilities to track but purely followed them with her eyesight.

She walked as if she was wandering the city, her gaze traversing from time to time while viewing the items and attractions placed on the shop stands.

ʼIn any case, they donʼt know my face or identity...ʼ

Even if they noticed her gaze, and looked at her, she assumed that they would just brush her off as another onlooker interested in the actions of the royal family.

Tens of kilometers away from the Royal Palace of the Loseris Kingdom.

There was a huge residence that covered a piece of land, measuring up to 5 square kilometers.

Although it was evening, the residence was lit up brightly, nearly and brilliantly colored with decorations and details entailing a festive mood.

People divulged and chatted as they entered the residence to enjoy the feast.

At the entrance of the huge residence, two people were standing and greeting the guests while having a smile plastered to their faces. They were smiling for a long time that their cheek muscles were now twitching.

”The bride and the groom will soon exchange vows.” One of the two men suddenly spoke.

The second man nodded his head and spoke in a worried tone, ”The Royal Loseris Family still isnʼt here...”

”Could it be that they have skipped and ignored the marriage invitation we sent?”

”Who knows? Normally, they would send a prince or a princessʼs subordinate as a proxy, or even a representative to show their blessings but it now seems no one in the Royal Loseris Family bothered to visit us to grace this marriage with their presence.”

The man who first spoke frowned. At the same time, he couldnʼt help but sigh.

He sent the other man a Soul Transmission.

”Do you think that they found out about the brideʼs situation?”

”Thatʼs not possible... We have done everything we can to keep it under wraps, for the honor of our family...”

”... If... If I s-say... What if a traitor appeared among our family members?”

Both suddenly went silent.

The man who asked the question went sullen before he was going to answer his own question, but suddenly his eyes lit up as he saw a man walking towards them with an entourage, dressed up in royal clothes.

The other man also turned excited as his voice echoed, ”The Royal Familyʼs representatives have come!”

The man in the front had short hair, smart eyes, and curled lips. His grin was as if he had something devious in mind.
