When Garon went to White Phoenix Forest Academy and didn't find his cousin, he knew that something was wrong. It was very likely that they were planning to leave the Kingdom with the fleeing group.
He didn't want to interfere with his cousin's life too much because he wanted them to live peacefully. He tried his best to fade out of their sight and not let the people around him find out about his relationship with them. After all, he had a bad reputation as the Black Fire Palace Master, it wasn't a good thing to be associated with him.
Although he couldn't hide it from the powers that really wanted to, it was better than being completely open about it.
But he didn't expect that the result would be his cousin's misunderstanding of his strength, to the extent that she didn't listen to his opinion and went to White Phoenix Forest Academy which didn't look like much but actually had a strong background. Instead, she was persuaded by Sylvia to evacuate with her distant family.
When Garon realized this, he immediately rushed to the evacuation point, the lake behind the Secret Service, and set up a checkpoint at the only entrance. Everyone who wanted to go in had to go through his inspection.
After blocking a few groups of people, he finally managed to stop his cousin and the rest. After some persuasion, Hathaway and Dani left the group together.
Garon casually killed a few people in that group and they left with their tails between their legs.
Carrying little Dani, Garon rushed to the Kingdom's Royal Hospital. Most of the doctors chose to leave with the nobles, only a few old doctors didn't leave. It seemed that they were old and were more open-minded about some things.
Inside the clean white ward.
A white-robed old doctor took the thermometer out of little Dani's mouth and checked her eyelids and mouth. He asked Hathaway who was anxiously waiting at the side for some details.
"She must have been shocked, her heart was overloaded for a short period of time. She'll be fine after resting for a night. "The old doctor finally concluded.
"Sorry to trouble you, Doctor Hurley." Hathaway quickly thanked him.
Garon also thanked him at the side.
Hurley nodded lightly.
"I still have other patients, I'll leave first."
"May I ask, are there a lot of patients in the Kingdom now?" Garon suddenly asked.
Hurley glanced at Garon, he knew this Black Fire Palace Master. Not only did he know him, he was very familiar with him. Because the Royal Hospital had dealt with too many people who had been executed by him.
Although this person possessed a high status and authority, Hurley did not like him.
"Why should I answer you?" he said stiffly.
Garon was slightly stunned. When he saw the old man running over in a hurry, he thought that his reputation had scared the old man. He didn't expect the old man to be so stubborn.
A young green-haired noble on the side was furious.
"You are courting death! How dare you speak to the Palace Master like that!? "
Clang!
The man drew his rapier from his waist and stepped forward, ready to attack.
Garon raised his hand to stop him. He carefully sized up the cold old man in front of him.
"Interesting. It's rare for someone to know my identity and not be afraid of me."
"I'm about to die anyway. Why should I be afraid of you?" the old man replied stiffly. "Enough people have died in the Imperial Capital. It doesn't matter if I die or not."
He glanced at Hathaway.
"Well, since it's not a serious injury, I'll leave first. There are still many patients I need to deal with."
"Thank you, doctor." Hathaway thanked him again.
She watched as the old man left.
Garon didn't get angry. It was rare to meet a normal person who didn't have any power but wasn't afraid of death.
"Right, cousin, where's your colleague?" He suddenly realized that the woman was nowhere to be seen.
"She didn't follow." Hathaway shook her head. Indeed, no matter how overboard her family was, they did intend to take them with them. Without knowing Garon's identity, they were willing to give the three of them a chance to live. But once Garon arrived and killed several people with his bare hands, the relationship changed.
No matter what, Sylvia couldn't leave with them. She was still a member of the family. There were family members she cared about, and family members who cared about her.
"Next, cousin, you should go to White Phoenix Forest. I've already made arrangements there." Garon said with a frown. "Prynne, Andrea, and Marlene are all there. They are all people you know. You don't have to worry about not seeing anyone. "
"Okay …"
Hathaway was like a child who did something wrong. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look into Garon's eyes.
She felt that the situation had been reversed. She used to stand in this angle and scold Garon, but now it was the other way around.
Garon was already half a head taller than her. She wanted to muster up her courage to retort, but when she thought of their awkward identities, the courage in her heart disappeared.
"Okay, okay." Garon gently pulled Hathaway into his arms. He patted her back. "It's okay, it's okay. If anything happens, I'm here. I'll take care of you. "
Cousin's soft body was a little stiff. Leaning into Garon's arms, she felt that their chests were pressed together. A strong sense of security unknowingly filled her heart.
"I'm sorry … I shouldn't have disobeyed you." Hathaway bit her lips and said softly.
"You used to take care of me. Now it's my turn to take care of you." Garon let go of her. Although he didn't have as deep feelings for this cousin as he did for Acacia, he could feel that she treated him well from the bottom of her heart.
If others treated him with sincerity, he wouldn't treat them with hypocrisy.
"Okay, after Dani has rested, I'll get someone to send you to White Phoenix Forest Academy." Garon said softly.
Suddenly, the door to the ward was pushed open.
Bam!
A young man in a white slim-fit suit rushed through the door.
"Garon, is Dani okay?!"
"Prynne?" Garon recognized him immediately.
"I've looked everywhere in the city! I just couldn't find Sister Sophie and the rest! I didn't expect you to be so bold and domineering. You blocked the exit and didn't let anyone leave until you found them! You're amazing! "Prynne saw that Hathaway and the rest were there. He let out a sigh of relief and gave Garon a thumbs up.
Behind him was a girl with a purple-red ponytail.
The girl had delicate features and a tall figure. Like Prynne, she was wearing a white dress with a tight waist.
"Marin! You're here too? "Hathaway recognized her as well.
"Sister Sophie, where did you run off to? Prynne and I sent people everywhere but couldn't find you! "Marin complained as soon as she entered the room.
"It's my fault …" Hathaway smiled bitterly. Suddenly, she seemed to realize that she was a little too close to Garon. She blushed and quietly distanced herself from him.
Then, another girl squeezed through the door. She had flaxen shoulder-length hair and purple-red eyes that were as beautiful as amber.
"Sister Sophie!" She jumped into Hathaway's arms.
"Andel!" Hathaway didn't know what to do. She was most familiar with Andel. When they left Vanderman Manor, they were the ones who kept each other company.
"I'm so glad you're okay!" Andel hugged Hathaway with reddened eyes.
Suddenly, she realized that Hathaway and Garon were standing a little too close to each other. She was confused.
Bai Lan also noticed this at this time, and immediately revealed a look of understanding.
"Okay, okay, the girls should go back to their rooms and catch up. Garon, let's go out for a chat? "
He led the way out of the ward.
Garon signaled for the two Black Fire Guards to follow him out.
Outside the ward was a clean and tidy corridor. The two Black Fire Guards and the green-haired noble who wanted to flatter Garon had already chased away all the other patients. The surrounding rooms were quiet.
Prynne and Garon left a few totem user guards to ensure the safety of the girls. Then, they walked to an empty ward on the left.
Garon noticed that there was a short, fat man with a strong aura following beside Prynne.
Judging by this aura, this guy was at least form three or above.
They entered the ward and closed the door. Garon turned around and glanced at the fat man's direction.
"Not bad, you're doing well! A form three totem user as a guard, how extravagant! "
There were only the two of them in the ward. Garon let go and didn't maintain his image like he did in front of outsiders.
"Still can't compare to you." Prynne suddenly smiled wretchedly. He leaned over and whispered. "Hehe, Hathaway's boobs feel good, don't they?"
Garen was stumped for a moment.
"I think Hathaway's butt is very perky, there's no gap between her long legs. Looks like you haven't really tasted her yet." Prynne changed his aura of a nobleman and had a lascivious smile on his face.
"So you're saying you ate Marlene?" Garon squeezed out a sentence after a long while.
"Of course, who do you think I am?" Prynne pulled at the hair on his forehead coolly, as if he was very handsome. "But Marlene still can't compare to your cousin. Tsk tsk, that small waist, those long legs, don't even mention her breasts. She's even a lieutenant in the royal guards. She's not like those totem users who don't train all day and have no strength at all. Their bodies are badly out of shape. With cousin's body, if she were to be clamped on … tsk tsk … "Prynne was obviously starting to fantasize.
Garen gave him a hard kick on the calf.
"How dare you fantasize about my, Garon's fiancée. You don't want to live anymore!" He scolded jokingly.
"Ouch!" Prynne cried out in pain. "I was just fantasizing, I didn't lose anything! I'm telling you, back then I wanted to pursue sister Sophie. If it weren't for the fact that you suddenly had a fiancée, I'd probably have attacked her fiercely long ago! "
"Then what about Marlene?"
"Of course we'll sleep together! We'll all share a bed, two beauties serving me together, naked in bed … "Prynne was obviously starting to fantasize again.
"You've been having a good time recently." Garon pointed out.
"Of course." Prynne laughed. "Why don't you hang out with me for a few days?"
"I'm busy with work. You think everyone is as free as you, with a grandfather supporting you?" Garon couldn't help but kick him again. This guy used to be a decent person, but he was obviously getting more and more flirtatious recently.
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business!" Prynne was done fooling around, and stopped smiling. "This time, I've brought my grandfather's orders. After His Majesty passed away, the situation in the Kingdom has changed. Since you don't plan to leave, you must know about the secrets deep in the palace. Am I right? "
Prynne's grandfather, Benoc, was one of the top fighters in the Empire, unlike Garen, who had risen to power in a short period of time. Benoc had countless trump cards behind his back, so naturally, he knew a lot of secrets.
"What does your grandfather mean?"
"Our family supports the First Princess. Duke Cody also intends to fight for that position. They're supporting the Fourth Prince, and are probably planning to use him as a puppet. Right now, the ones who can really decide the situation in the Kingdom are four forces. "Prynne said seriously.
"Which four?"
"My grandfather Grand Duke Benoc and the First Princess are one, Grand Duke Cody and the Fourth Prince are another, and there's also Minister Veska's support. Then there's the Silver Palace Master Sir Edin and the remaining forces in the palace that you control, and the last little alliance. "
"Little alliance?" Garon was curious. "What little alliance?"
"The War Guild, the Dark Night Guild, the Mercenary Luminarist Guild, the Kovitan Merchant Guild, and the Forger Guild. The little alliance formed by these five organizations has been formed for a long time, but it hasn't been exposed to the public. They represent most of the middle and lower class forces in the country, and have many trump cards that can't be ignored. Although there aren't many top fighters, there are many high-level totem users who dare to risk their lives. Don't underestimate them. This is what my grandfather wanted me to tell you directly. Don't underestimate them. "
"Oh?" Garon naturally wouldn't underestimate this little alliance. It was a little alliance, but he wasn't too sure about the strength of these five guilds. However, he was a member of the War Guild himself, and knew a little about the inside story. They weren't very strong, but they weren't weak either.
The other four were on par, so they obviously wouldn't be too weak.
"My grandfather and the others call this little alliance the Five Colors, the Five Color Alliance, because their public alliance flag is a mixture of the five colors." Prynne told Garon about the overall situation in the Kingdom.
"Now the entire Kingdom has been divided into four parts by these four forces. Of the three main districts in the city, the Palace District is occupied by you and the Silver Palace Master. The Cloud Light District is occupied by Grand Duke Cody. The Trade District is occupied by the Five Color Alliance and my grandfather, since the Trade District is the largest.
"Then what about the outer districts outside the city?"
"They've all given up." Prynne shrugged. "Too many nobles have escaped, and their tenants and laborers, as well as many guards have rushed into the Kingdom. It's too late to maintain order now. Hearing that the monsters are attacking, who still dares to go out of the city to die? "
Garon nodded.
"What about the three departments? No one stayed? "
