Chapter 260: Eye of the midnight (2/2)

The useless prince grinned.

[Eye of the Midnight] was a mysterious item found inside the Margareth Ruins.

The Margareth Ruins could be found in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Amazon, northwest of the Encantasia empire.

This [Eye of the Midnight] contains a magical aura inside. If could be researched well, he might find good use of it.

And if he was right, the value of this item was so high in the market and even in the auction houses. Although none was able to prove a better use of it, the useless prince was so happy to get it for free. He must study this well. No, apparently, he already had an idea on how he used it. Actually, there were only 3 known [Eye of the Midnight] that were discovered in the Margareth Ruins. But only a few knew about it.

Gath felt uneasy about the item in the prince's hand.

The prince smiled from ear to ear. He needed to check if it was genuine.

Later on, a friendly connection between the useless prince and Chad was formed.

On the other hand, Scar, Fang, and Gath were able to avoid getting killed. The prince gave them another chance. But before that, they needed to gather more men.

No matter what, he needed to get the princess of Mangrove Kingdom.

Scar and the others were so happy when they left the palace. Then, without wasting time, they immediately went to a pub to recruit new members.

...

One day before Yman and Rea visit the Encantasia palace.

Empress Elleanna Encanta received a report from her spy. Stated in the report that he successfully invaded the enemy's territory. Then, about the situation in the Nara Kingdom. That it was in a mess. Not only that, in the letter, a warning was written in bold letters. It was a warning of another possible abduction attempt on Princess Merea Ella.

Then at the lower part of the letter, the name [Eye of the Midnight] was written in bold and italic letters.

The empress grimaced after seeing it. Currently, she was in her chamber, sitting on her personal chair. Around her, the Royal Knights were standing closely, lead by Royal Knight-Captain Borge Bergal.

The empress immediately took a blank parchment and a quill pen, then wrote hastily on it. A moment later, she rolled the parchment and tied it with a yellow ribbon before handing it to one of the royal knights.

”Pass this to the messenger,” said the empress.

”Yes, your majesty!” After the royal knight bowed, he went out to find their trusted messenger.

”No matter what… we needed to tighten our guard on the border,” said the empress in a tone full of worry.

”Uhm, your majesty, is something wrong?” The Royal Knight-Captain Borge Bergal asked the empress curiously.

The empress looked at the faraway distance. ”Sooner or later, the blood of the neighbors will flood in the backyard.”

”.....”

The Knight Captain fell silent but he got the gist of the empress' meaning.

”A war huh…”
