Chapter 456 Unusual Morning

Chapter 456 Unusual Morning

The next morning, everyone woke up early and began doing various morning activities such as practicing with their weapons and magic. After witnessing Yuan and his wives' prowess, many felt ashamed for being weak and decided to train harder to get stronger.

Since one of Yuan's wives scolded them for being pathetic and weak, they were embarrassed and decided to change for the better.

However, since most of them were severely injured and couldn't move without support, only a few people practiced with their weapons. Even the mages were training their bodies to become physically stronger.

One of the greatest disadvantages for mages is that their bodies are usually weak, making close combat difficult. Most mages prefer using long-distance magic from a safe place. But after fighting against thousands of corrupted monsters that were threatening their lives, they realized that staying at a distance didn't necessarily keep them safe.

Due to their weak bodies, most of the mages got injured as they were unable to dodge attacks effectively. Although a few mages sustained life-threatening injuries, most had less severe wounds, with some suffering only superficial injuries.

Meanwhile, King Richard and Crown Prince Daniel were also training with their swords, engaging in a friendly duel to identify and improve each other's weaknesses.

While they were training, Archmage Isadora and Archmage Eldeick had not yet woken up and emerged from their personal tents. This was understandable since both had almost exhausted their mana maintaining the multi-layered defensive barrier.

After sparring with Daniel for a moment, King Richard smiled and asked, "What do you think about my sword technique, Prince Daniel?"

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I'm surprised. Your sword technique 'Bellowing Wind' is truly impressive, especially how swift and deadly it is," Daniel replied with a smile, looking genuinely surprised. He had never expected the king of such a small nation to possess such a fine sword technique.

Then he asked, "How about my Imperial sword technique? What do you think of it?"

King Richard looked at Daniel and showed a bitter smile. "The sword technique of the imperial family is unparalleled; I'm not worthy to judge it. However, as an experienced sword master, I can say for sure that you lack control over your technique."

"That's the same thing my aunt told me once..." Daniel laughed, remembering the intense training General Valeria put him through when he was younger.

"War General Valeria?" King Richard raised his brows, imagining the kind of training she could give someone.

"That's right," Daniel nodded with an awkward smile. "It was truly hellish training. I'll never forget it for my entire life. It's better to get beaten up by someone than to be trained by her. She is a monster without any sympathy when it comes to training."

"She took her training very seriously...even my royal father was afraid of her training." Daniel sighed, trying to forget that unpleasant time in his life that was filled with suffering.

"I understand your pain," King Richard responded with a solemn look on his face.

"Oh, King Richard and Crown Prince Daniel, you guys are already awake and have even begun training. I'm impressed."

Suddenly, a melodious voice resounded from behind, and when King Richard and Daniel turned around, they saw Archmage Isadora emerging from her tent.

"Miss Isadora, you woke up late today. I guess yesterday's battle really made you extremely tired." King Richard greeted her with a polite smile, surprised that she woke up before Archmage Eldrick, who wasn't as tired from the battle as Isadora.

After that, they changed their clothes and quickly got out of the tent as they heard a lot of noise from outside. They even heard the sound of metal clashing and various other noises.

Once outside, they were surprised to see many people training. Male or female, their bodies were covered in sweat as they trained together to improve their strength.

"I never thought after getting their asses beaten by the corrupted monsters, they would start training so seriously..." Yuan muttered with a strange smile on his face, seemingly surprised by the determined look on their faces.

Anna squinted her eyes at the people and muttered, "They must have felt really ashamed that they're so weak and incapable...now they all just want to wipe the shame away."

"Well, there is no denying that they're weak, very weak!" Lily spoke nonchalantly, looking at the people with a dissatisfied expression.

"Let's forget about them and wash our faces first. We also have to prepare our breakfast." Yuan then led them to wash their faces.

A few minutes later, Anna started a fire and began preparing breakfast for everyone in the family. Leah and Rose helped her prepare a few side dishes that would go well with the breakfast and not upset their stomachs.

It took almost twenty minutes to finish preparing breakfast for everyone. Emma quickly began serving breakfast to everyone, as well as for herself.

Once she finished serving the food, Emma took the empty seat beside Yuan and sat down with a joyful smile on her face. Just as they were about to take a bite of their breakfast, they heard a feminine voice from behind.

"Oh, you guys seem to have quite a variety of food for breakfast... and it looks quite delicious too."

"Oh, it's Miss Isadora. What brings you here?" Valeria asked as she saw Isadora staring at the platters of food with sparkling eyes.

"I happened to be taking a walk through the camp and smelled the delicious aroma in the air, which led me here to you guys," Isadora replied with a small smile, her face slightly blushing from embarrassment.

"Is that so?" Anna raised her brows slightly upon hearing this, and then she smiled. "Why don't you join us for breakfast? We have plenty of food here, so don't be shy about it."

"Then I won't hold back if you insist." Isadora smiled and took a seat beside Valeria. Emma quickly served her breakfast.

After taking a big bite, Isadora's expression suddenly changed as she felt an electrifying sensation run through her body from the explosion of flavors in her mouth.

"Wow! So delicious! I've never eaten something so good before, incredible!" She was amazed by the taste of the food prepared by Anna; even the top chefs she knew couldn't prepare something as good as this.

She quickly looked at Anna with sparkling eyes and said, "You're an amazing cook, Miss Anna. Your culinary skills are just amazing!"

"It's nothing. I just cook for the family, and there's nothing to boast about," Anna responded with a smile. "Why don't you try the vegetable salad I've prepared? It's very good for health and calms the mind."

"Sure. Why not? It looks very tempting." Isadora nodded and quickly tried the salad prepared by Anna. Once again, she was amazed by the flavor.
