Chapter 1131 - They're Back!
~Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap~
Andrew, Lucia, Javis and their men dashed through the secret passage, jogging as fast as they could for a bit before slowing down their pace once more.
They left as early as 5 A.M and had been moving till now.
It was only about 10:46 A.M when they finally arrived at the hidden city, a little tired but ecstatic.
The guards heard footsteps and quickly tensed up in a panic, preparing to launch a series of attacks.
But when they saw Princess Lucia’s figure and ecstatic behaviour, they couldn’t help crying as they knew that they had finally been saved.
"Princess Lucia is back!"
"Prince Javis is back!"
"Prince Andrew is back!"
Instantly, everyone was shocked silly as they froze in place.
What?
They were back?
The barefooted children and females washing the clothes along the streams, slowly got up amd dumped their belongings in joy.
But because they had been long used to living in silence, they didn’t dare to make any noise even when celebrating.
They just hugged each other and smiled nonstop.
That’s right.
For over a year, they had been either whispering or not talking at all.
They had also developed their own sign language too.
Who knew that a year and something in pure silence could stimulate the human mind to find ways of communicating out of the norm.
They made a rule that whispering and talking could only be done between 6~8 A.M.
After that, they just lived in silence, either talking with their hands or writing things down on the ground or on paper.
When one’s life depended on it, they would be surprised just how much they could learn... especially in an era as chaotic as this one.
People learnt languages and things to survive!
Very quickly, she dashed through the palace speedily, leaving the dazed Uther behind.
He couldn’t hell looking up to the heavens with reddish eyes as well.
His children were alright.
He looked at the fading silhouette of his wife and laughed loudly like a fool before speeding up too.
Today was the happiest day of his life!
Like so, he stepped out, joining countless elders and others who dashed out as well with tears in their eyes.
They were saved!
Their beloved Zalipnia was saved!
At the same time, seeing the massive crowd in tears, Licia and the rest also broke down as well.
"Mother! Father! Uncles! Aunts! Everyone!
We are back!"
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
The crowd went wild!
And very soon, Andrew addressed them all, briefly highlighting the most important thing of all.
That’s right.
The Saviour was here, and he had successfully driven the enemy to suicide!
.
Everyone’s heart drummed uncontrollably as they quickly packed their things and headed down the hidden route with several emotions welled up within them.
They took one more look at the hidden city as if saying thanks to the Gods for protecting them.
Of course, they also made an oath never to mention this place, no matter what.
They respected and owed their lives to the Gods, and unlike other unbelievers in this world, their oaths were actually taken seriously by the heavens.
And they, more than anyone else, knew the consequences of going against such oaths.
Because just as the Gods could bless one, they could also curse one as well.
Everyone bowed in thanks to the Gods and calmly left the Holy city for good.
Finally, it was time to head back home.
