Meanwhile, as the battle outside the garden of the castle grounds was getting fiercer. And a little before the flash of light was fired towards the azure sky...

Back inside the royal palace, a heavy tension filled the air as the sound of constant explosion echoed, along with the cries of the civilians who were still resisting being slaughtered mercilessly by the invaders of the kingdom of Zestril could be heard from afar.

The maids were currently in low spirits as the threat of the kingdom of Zestril loomed over their heads, filling them with a heavy sense of dread.

With the current state of the capital, the personnel currently moving around the royal palace were few in numbers, and only a meagre amount of them had combat experience.

The current king of the Alberta kingdom, king Marcus along with his wife, queen Lisa currently sat down in the throne room with a conflicted expression on their faces.

The queens beautiful face contorted into a mix of both pain and worry as she played with a strand of her luscious silver hair.

"... Dear?"

Lisa's bright beautiful blue eyes gazed at the middle-aged brown-haired man dressed in a royal robe decorated with various embroidery, who sat beside her. With a worried look on her face. Her lips parted slightly as though she wanted to say something but stop midway, when she saw the seriousness in the expression on her husband's face.

"It's okay, you don't need to worry. If by some off chance the worst actually happens, I already have a plan for that."

"Eh, you have a plan?"

Lisa raised an eyebrow as she gazes at his face curiously. With the capital city currently being under the influence of the Zestril kingdom, along with the knights who had already fallen in battle, weakening their overall strength.

She couldn't see any way to overcome the current situation, even with the help of Matthew, who was currently on the battlefield.

After all, what could a single person do against the might of an entire nation?

Taking on an army alone was already considered a suicidal act, no matter where one looked at it.

That was because no matter how skilled a single individual was, in the face of multiple powerhouses they would inevitable be worn out in no time.

In the end, this was the only conclusion he could think of, as king, Marcus not only does he need to think of his family, but his people as well.

It was impossible for him to choose self-preservation under the current situation.

"As I said before, you need not worry. No matter what happens, I will send the hero along with Adrianna and you somewhere safe. I'm going to activate that thing."

He muttered calmly.

"What! You... You are actually going to sacrifice yourself to allow us to escape?!"

She exclaimed, as she jumped from her throne. Her bright blue eyes gazed deeply at her husband as though she wanted to see through all existing falsehood and see only the genuine truth.

However, Marcus eyes were as indifferent and calm as before as he responded.

"You don't need to look at me like that, even if I die you still have Ryan here as my heir."

(We are currently facing the biggest crisis we had ever faced before. I don't know what method that old bastard used to destroy the barrier, but I can assume it was probably the reason for his confidence.)

Marcus narrowed his eyes sharply.

(... The question is, how often can he use that weapon? Even if I die, it doesn't matter as to me as long as my kingdom survived in the end.)
