Chapter 179 - Last Farewell

On the other side Zhao Li Xin arrived inside the mystique realm in his ring, Lory already lost his conscious with Girsha land smoothly beside her when Zhao Li Xin stunned when the girl in his arms looks very different although there similarity with Luo Ri Yi appearance but this face is too foreign for him, Girsha stare at him waiting for him to react.

But a man with red eyes and red fiery hair appear, he jolts when he met Girsha then he awkwardly smile "Ehm…how do you do?" he said with stiffed expression, Girsha rolls his eyes then he snorts with mockery before he flew away ignoring the magnificent red Dragon, Zhao Li Xin is too immersed in his thought to notice Huo Long strange behavior when Girsha left Huo Long sigh deeply then he shakes his head to calm himself.

Huo Long then crouch in front of Lory "Aahh….she's more beautiful than I imagine" he looks at her with awe.

"Is this my Lory real appearance?" Zhao Li Xin asks.

"Princess Lorient Jean frau Lucient" he smiles with an indescribable expression.

"What is that?" Zhao Li Xin frown.

"Your lover full name, stupid boy! Is she never told you?" he teased him.

Zhao Li Xin sulks without answering "How do you know so much about her?" he asked again while holding her in his embrace.

Huo Long let out a long heaved "I know someone who knows about her…."

"Who?" he persists to questioning him.

"Someday I will tell you everything about this pitiful princess and her tragic faith…" Huo Long expression turn solemn, he has seen many humans who become a victim of their owned cruel faith, in fact, Zhao Li Xin also one of them, people who have struggled from the young aged all of their lived they must experience all kinda loss and fall with tears and blood, but it's not a rare story.

But princess Lorient…she embraces her fated, she knew what ends waiting for her and still she accept it wholeheartedly even until the end she blames no one, her only regret is leaving all the people that she loved without a proper goodbye and that's what make her story tragic and heart wrenching even for a beast like him.

Zhao Li Xin pulls her closer to his chest "Is she hurt so much?" his word becomes deepen.

"More than you know, even for me I still don't know how she bears that kinda pained" when that woman show him what this Princess going through, his heart aching Huo Long didn't know he still could feel like that for other creature who didn't relate to him. Thing longevity live make his heart numb but his heartbreaking for this little Princess, what a cruel faith she had.

Zhao Li Xin caresses the foreign face in front of him "But she always smiles…" he murmured.

Huo Long stifles "She is, isn't she?"

_____L'Markieth after King Marcus Fallen____

Lory and Lucas managed to bring their people to L'markieth the massive underground city who is created secretly by King Marcus himself, a self sustain city who able accommodate two billion people, King Marcus ambitious project he even used his owned money to build this city at that time no one understands why the King build this place but the King ask them to believe him.

Thankfully Harland is not like any other Kingdom, the King's minister and his close confidant have strong believed to their King and so this project approved by the Prime minister, Minister of finance and Minister of Defence. This city needs fifteen years to build and when the money is not enough the King used his owned wealth to sustain this project maybe that's why Lory and Lucas live like a frugal for royalty standards.

Inside the conference room the Minister of Defense, the Generals, the Archknight, Lory, and Lucas was in the meeting room all of them sit in the round table after King Marcus is dead, the position automatically fall on Lucas but the problem is it's only been a year when Lucas send to gather the King's sword and he only got one sword and that's not enough but Harland crippled without their rightful King, so everyone is on dilemma.

"I object!" Lory said, "There is no point to stop Lucas to stop the 'King's Trial' halfway !"

"I agree with her highness" Fredhard adds in "The faster we gather the power of God's, the faster all this would end"

"But we need a King to lead us," said prime minister "Harland needs their King" he insists.

"But sadly, our young Prince is not ready, without the seven God's sword we can kill A**S HOLE not to mention to clear this DAMN dark sky!" Fargo shouted furiously.

"Language please" Fredhard reprimand him calmly, Fargo clicked his tongue angrily.

Fredhard takes a deep breath "Prince Lucas need to be prepared, we already lose one King we cannot lose another King" he said with a low voice, everyone looks down in sorrow, the death of King Marcus is a heavy blow for all of them.

The room becomes pin drop silence then Lucas start to talk "My opinion is I would be more beneficial if I go out there and continue 'The King's Trial' and end this….disaster once for all but if chose to stay I won't make too much different, we didn't have enough power to kill Nazareth or bring the Sun and the resource we have is not limitless, with Nazareth out there and the world engulf in darkness it's only a matter of time before we out of food, medicine and soon peoples" Lucas lean his back to his chair.

"But people of Harland wouldn't follow anyone except their King," said prime minister.

"What about Princess Lorient take a charge until Prince Lucas returned?" the Minister of defense suggests.

All eyes star on her, Lory straighten her back "I disagree" she said shortly "This is not a responsibility I can't take lightly, I lacked knowledge, experience, and wisdom, most of all I never been prepare for this situation unlike Lucas"

"But, Her highness…" one of the ministers speaks abruptly.

Lory raised her hand to stop him then she continues "I suggest we made a King commission, this commission would consist from several people who represent the important sector like welfare, health, and safety, excetera…. they would be running the Kingdom for the King's behalf and later they would need answer and responsibility everything they have done when the King's return"

"That can be tricky but this is a dire situation though" Fredhard rubs his chin in a deep thought then he clenched his hand together "But there still need to report the situation at least every week and for big matter that needs the King approval they have to report to Prince Lucas and approve by his highness," Fredhard said firmly.

Everyone nods their head simultaneously, they all agree not like other Kingdom in the world, Harland depends on Lucient power and wisdom so if Lucient is no longer on the throned then Harland would never be the same old Harland anymore.

"Jay, how is communication?" Fargo stares at Jay who his hand did not stop in typing the laptop.

Jay stop typing "Most satellite is useless because the black miasma in the sky that black things are blocked not just the Sun, but thankfully our 'Great King' build this new satellite just a few months ago before all this happened and is all good and running, so communication 'mostly' is not a problem" Jay used quotation mark is the 'Most' words.

"When it all becomes a problem?" Fargo squints his eyes in wary expression.

"When the miasma becomes thick or when the weather is exceptionally bad" Jay shrug his shoulder then he turns around and opens his backpack "But fret not, I prepare when those things happened, TADAAA!" he shows dozens of black walkie talkie.

"What the heck is that?" Lucas startled and so is Lory, the twins make the same shocked expression.

"Walkie talkie My Dear prince, this what we used to communicate in the old days, it cannot be to far of course and I also need to strengthen the signals too…..but it's for an emergency," said Jay with proud smiles.

Lucas scrutinize the ancient communication in his hand then he sighs "Make it work, I think 'emergency' would happen a lot and about this King commission I want Fred, Fargo, Prime Minister and….Minister of defense solve this and report for me afterward, you all got two days" Lucas knock the table.
