Chapter 151:
Kalia struggled to swallow her breath.
Had she ever broken out in such a cold sweat in her life?
Even when the two red lines appeared on the pregnancy test, the cold sweat that didnt come out then was now flowing down her smooth back.
There was only one reason for it.
It was because of Simon, who was looking out the window with a cold face.
Kalia, who had once shown hope as everyones hero, was now a sinner in front of just one person.
Simon, are you still angry?
In response to her question, Simon opened his eyes slightly and stared at her.
His gaze was icy cold.
Um, yes. Youre angry, right? Yes, I understand.
If you understand, then dont talk to me.
Oh no, he really seems very angry.
It was fine that he had made a grand exit from the conference hall, but since then, Simon had remained cold towards her.
It was fine until she angrily tore her hand with force due to her anger towards Buford, and even when she let the blood flow into her completely messed up hand.
The problem was that Simon was so upset about her hand, which was completely covered in flowing blood.
Who was it that promised not to be reckless with her own body?
Ah.
There was no need to pour out so much of the purifying power to that brat in the first place.
I was very angry
Yes, thats right.
I was very angry too.
After saying that, he turned around abruptly and left.
He didnt even bother to treat her hand, which was dripping with blood.
Of course, the next morning, when she woke up, the wounds had completely disappeared.
But she had spent several days in that state.
Because of the military preparations, Kalia was so busy that she had no time to reconcile.
Then, she finally had some time, and they spent an evening together, but even during the meal, Simon didnt give her a single glance.
He couldnt refuse her suggestion to have dinner together, but he went to great lengths to avoid looking at her, which seemed virtual.
I can see your eyelids twitch every time I move
Even after finishing the meal and heading to wash up, Kalia couldnt properly speak to Simon.
Well, I was in the wrong. I made that promise How should I reconcile?
As she pondered, she came up with a cute idea.
She quickly washed up and dashed into the study, not even properly tying her bathrobe.
And soon after, she rushed out again and hurried to their room.
Simon!
As Kalia swung the door open and rushed in, a faint blush appeared on Simons face.
Kalia, even though its our home
Under the loosely tied bathrobe, her slender legs were exposed.
Through the disheveled gap of the bathrobe, the shadow of her chest could be glimpsed.
Simon, who had kept a cold attitude and forgotten about it, quickly ran over and opened her robe.
Though the stubbornly sealed lips still exuded coldness.
Simon, are you still angry?
Simon, hmm? Look at me. Arent you going to look at me now?
When Kalia asked with an uncharacteristic hint, Simon hesitated for a moment and sighed.
Then he opened his eyes, gazing at her with his beautiful golden eyes, as if expressing his frustration.
How can I not look at you? Thats a loss for me.
Upon his gruff words, Kalia felt relieved.
Luckily, it seemed a bit looser than the first day.
If thats the case, now was the perfect timing.
Um Simon, my hand seems to hurt. Can you take a look?
What?
In response to her words, Simon quickly took her hand.
The alliance meeting of this year was different from the previous ones.
The discussions about economic agreements were overshadowed by war preparations.
Key decision-makers returned to their respective countries, and their subordinates and deputies stayed behind to conduct close consultations on their behalf.
There was no lack of fear, but still, they believed in those obvious words.
They desperately believed that darkness couldnt overcome the light.
That was the only way they could save the people and families caught in Akans grasp.
They had chosen war despite the threat to their safety, and now they had to prove that they were not wrong.
However, their faces were far from bright, overshadowed by deep-seated fear and worry.
If we do that, our military forces
Mainly focusing on the Red Lion Knights of Rojas and the mages of Mage Tower
The temple priests are insufficient The power to purify black magic
Ah, if thats the case, then theres something I just heard
The heavy meeting continued incessantly until it came to a halt with Louismonds final words.
Just now, what did you say
As if they had heard words they shouldnt have, their eyes blinked and they shook their heads, trying to wake themselves up. Louismond quietly smiled at their reaction.
In a calm voice, he repeated his words from earlier.
The fairies have agreed to help us.
!
The sound of breath being held, the sound of chairs being pushed back, the sound of searching for faith echoed disturbingly in the meeting room.
They took quick breaths, calculating the current situation as if they couldnt believe it.
Is, is that true?
How can you be so sure of the fairys cooperation, Your Highness?
In the world, how can we!
Louismond calmly extended to them a token given by the Fairy King, a small jewel containing the power of the fairies. It was nothing extraordinary, but it held the essence of fairy magic.
As he placed the stone on the table and murmured the fairy language taught by the Fairy King, a cluster of light emerged and the image of the Fairy King appeared, small but vivid.
Once again, the meeting room was filled with astonishment.
But before they could even sigh, the Fairy King spoke.
[I, the Fairy King, have decided to stand against the evil power of Akan alongside the young ruler of Rojas. Those who follow shall receive the blessings of the natural realm, and those who oppose shall be haunted by nightmares from the natural realm.]
With a brief message, the haze-like light disappeared, and a light spirit in the form of a small bird circled the meeting room once and vanished.
Oh, my goodness!
Oh, dear gods!
Hope flickered once again in their eyes.
Some couldnt contain their trembling hearts and clasped their hands tightly as if in prayer.
Louismond had anticipated their reaction.
Despite witnessing the terrifying power of Kalias purification, they couldnt fully let go of their doubts.
War was a battle against uncertainty.
Those who had faith in victory amidst that uncertainty had a greater chance of success.
Kalia knew how to inspire trust by demonstrating overwhelming power and strategy, leading them to victory. It was a method she excelled at.
Their eyes trembled as they looked at the trump card Louismond had laid down.
Even their gaze towards Louismond was filled with reverence.
Although its all thanks to Kalias cooperation with the fairies.
By some twist of fate, Louismond found himself riding on her success.
He had merely appointed Kalia as a long-time friend and servant, but thanks to her, many things had become easier for him.
If it werent for Kalia, would I still be here now?
He would have likely fallen off a cliff or been killed by pirates arrows.
He owed her a great deal of gratitude.
Kalia had said that there was no need to explicitly reveal that the Fairy Kings race was her family. She didnt want any unnecessary commotion.
Furthermore, now that not only Kalia but also Simon and Sasha had become members of the Fairy Kings family, they needed to exercise even greater caution.
While the time would come for their status to be revealed, now wasnt the chaotic moment for it, and Louismond fully respected Kalias opinion.
In that case, we need to reorganize our forces!
Should we inform the temple about this, Your Highness?
The atmosphere in the heavy meeting room brightened considerably.
With a hint of excitement, they continued the strategic meeting, unaware of the passing time.
Preparations proceeded steadily, and three weeks flew by quickly.
And during that time, strangely enough, the prince of Akan was nowhere to be seen.
