Chapter 104: Academy Prepare(4)

Sanders is delighted to hear this. " Previously, forgive my weak intentions, your majesty. " Sanders sighed and stood staring at Edward. " According to a report from Master Witch Noel, the Rank A beast race - Sky Hunter was no longer visible at the borders of the kingdom. Some witnesses say that the SkyHunter is hunting a pair of the couple back into their territory. "

Sanders paused to take another breath. "According to witnesses, the couple was Master Witch Leona and Dual-Class soldier Bastian; they were said to be responsible before Noel came and took control of the order." Sanders stopped talking, waiting for the king's decision.

Edward was pensive when he heard this. He sighed. This vacant position would be bad for the kingdom, besides that the missing person was the one chosen by the master ...

Edward looked at Sanders as he considered the decision he made. "Tell me, Prime Minister Sanders, is there a solution you can come up with?"

Sanders was surprised; it was rare for King Edward to ask his prime minister, even King Edward was known for his intelligent decision-making. Is this a test for me?

Sanders replied hastily, "I think we can take advantage of SkyHunter's momentum to focus on protecting the small villages that are close to the territory of the beasts." He then stopped and looked at Edward one more time.

Sanders saw Edward agreeing to continue. " The loss of a Witch Master and a Dual-Class was unfortunate, but they had made a decision which meant they were ready to accept the consequences.

"Therefore, we can give them a little help by watching every corner of the border between the kingdom and beast territory." Sanders sighed very hard, his chest rising and falling; he then smiled with satisfaction while still waiting for further orders.

Meanwhile, Holmes, who was on the other side, was gritting his teeth; he was very jealous of Sanders. He stared at Sanders without blinking, ready to interrupt if Sanders said anything wrong.

On the other hand, Edward pondered Sanders' answer. Judging from the consequences taken and the calculated risks, he felt Sanders' suggestion was reasonable and full of consideration. However, it still seemed like there was something lacked.

After a few minutes of silence, Edward opened his mouth, " Let's take Sanders' advice but to prevent the worst situation, discuss it with my friend Vesta."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will give your orders soon," Sanders answered him while lowering his head, seen his eyes have blinked several times due to lack of sleep.

Edward added, "Ah, one more thing, tell the Master Witch family of this news." After that, he looked at Holmes, "Do you have an objection?" He felt Holmes's gaze upon Sanders, which made him ask.

Sanders saluted the king and returned to his place. After that, he staring at Holmes, who looked nervous.

"Pardon me, your majesty, I have no objection," answered Holmes and realized that his behavior had offended the king.

Edward nodded, "Good, then we'll end this sudden meeting."

After that, Edward got off the throne and opened the door to the throne room.

Outside the room, Edward saw his daughter sitting in the garden looking up at the night sky lit by the moon. "My little princess, why do you still wake up so late at night like this?" Edward asked softly as he sat beside his daughter.

"AH!" Elizabeth was surprised to see her father, who suddenly was beside, "Father, you surprise me." She looked at her father for a while before looking back at the moon, "Father, can I ask something?"

"Oh? No problem, my little princess. " Seeing his dreamy daughter like this made Edward curious.

"If someone's hand is cut off, can someday after I become like father heal him?" Elizabeth's tone was mixed with doubt and worry.

"Of course, my little princess, if you have reached the position of mine, there is a time spell which can only be used by people like me," Edward replied with a frown.

Edward knows that his daughter is perfect in society's eyes, but actually, it is just acting; she only acted like that because she is a royal family. And this is the first time Edward also saw his daughter in this state.

"Mmm," Elizabeth nodded when she heard this. She knows that her father can do everything; she asked just to make sure. "Emm, so father can ask for something?" Elizabeth looked at her father hopefully.

Edward's face tightened; he answered reluctantly, "Of course, my little princess, tell me what can I do for you?" Edward forced a sweet smile on his little daughter.

"So I have a friend who lost his right hand. Can you help me to recover it?" Elizabeth asked happily.

Do you think your father is a freelance healer? I am a king of the North Kingdom! Edward thought he smiled wryly at his daughter, "I'm sorry, my little princess, but I'm in a little bit busy with royal affairs right now. But if you take your friend to the palace, maybe I can help him," Edward answered fondly.

"Okay," Elizabeth replied in a low voice and looked back at the night sky. Her cheeks have become bloated like a pufferfish and as if she doesn't want to talk to her father.

Seeing his daughter's expression, Edward shook his head. He was a king after all! He must maintain his pride. "Almost forgot, my little princess, what about the academy you want to join?"

"I've decided to learn in the academy; I've already promise with Clark." Elizabeth's mood seemed to cheer up again when she mentioned the name of her childhood friend.

That kid again? Edward becomes annoyed when his daughter calls him; a son of a former noble. Edward hates nobles very much because of their arbitrary actions; therefore, he tries very hard to be fair as a king.

"I see, can't you think about it one more time, my little princess? A home study is more comfortable and safer. I can hire a skilled teacher and a wizard to teach you," Edward said hopefully.

He did not want to trust his beloved daughter's life in others, even if it was his own teacher. What if his daughter is later bullied by her generation? Not to mention that the king's authority could not interfere with the academy matters.

"No, father, if I'm at home, then I can't keep my promise. Father once said that we as a royal family must fulfill a promise, but if that promise harms others, we can cancel it.

But I think the promise I made with Clark didn't hurt anyone; it benefited the people looking for money." Elizabeth denied. With her being the king's daughter, from childhood, she had also studied kingdom laws.

Edward sighed, "Well if that's your final decision, I will accept that. But let uncle Vesta escort you to get to the academy, "Edward replied seriously; he did not want strange things to happen to his daughter on the way.

"Thank you, father!" Elizabeth hugged her father while rubbing her cheek again his body and humming happily.

"Ah," Edward was caught off guard about his daughter's actions, but he also smiled happily and stroke her hair while replied, "You're welcome, sweety."

In a palace garden, a father and daughter can be seen enjoying their moments of family love under the moonlight.

Meanwhile, in another part of the palace.

In the middle of the night, all the rooms will usually turn off their candles to save the use of magic crystals, except one room.

* slip * * slip *

The sound of parchments repeatedly sounded, like someone was reading a book. A middle-aged man looking at a report about villages asking for protection at a table.

In this room, there were lots of bookshelves, there was also a board containing a map of the entire territory of the North Kingdom. On the maps, several regions had circled in various colors.

Meanwhile, after the middle-aged man finished flipping through the reports, he headed for the board and circled the village close to beast territory.

After circling the village, the middle-aged man sat back down and read the report in his hand." Several beasts were found in the forest near the village of Mirefield, people said they saw a giant wolf… wolf…. Giant…." While remembering the type of beast, the middle-aged man took one of the books on the shelf.

"Black…. And it's twice as big as an ordinary wolf… Living in groups just like an ordinary wolf…" The middle-aged man was flipping through the pages of the book he was holding while standing reading it.

"The wolf…moves at night and daytime…. Has no mark on its body… Ah," After finding a suitable description, the middle-aged man checked the reports on the table in a hurry.

"E Rank - Dire Wolf…" The middle-aged man muttered while looking at the number of wolves that had been reported. "Luckily, it hasn't spread that far…" Even though he said that the expression on his face was troubled. "Guard!"

*slam*

The guard outside the middle-aged man's room immediately opens the door when he heard the call, "Yes, Prime Minister Sanders." The guard didn't say in loud, afraid to wake everyone up, but he replied excitedly.
