Chapter 360 - Agatha (58) (2/2)

The royally dressed boy grinned in that direction before bolting away. ”Haha, no one can catch up to me! See you, everyone. I'll be back when I feel like it! Bye!”

Following the kid in secret was a female shadow warrior he once saw lingering around Agatha.

Surprise flashed across Jiang Li's eyes as he stared at the mischievous-looking boy who had probably wanted to have some fun by himself outside the palace and thought he had succeeded.

With amus.e.m.e.nt on Jiang Li's face, he mused, the boy must be the villainess' son. The age suggested so.

Margarette was definitely aware that her evil stepmother had finally achieved her real dream of conceiving a child for the king. She was probably resentful of him, right? Because they too could have one if he did not leave.

A man who could dress up in rags yet still appear noble could only be extraordinary. However, this same man had a wry smile on his face as he looked at the boy. He shook his head after and walked towards the palace. He did not stay long, only a minute or so, to check on Francis IV and Agatha.

Before leaving, upon seeing the two were doing okay, he grew annoyed.

'This irritating pair still has done so many bad things in their lives. The Queen at least, I'm sure, will love to see them suffering a bit.' With this in mind, the jealous guy impulsively hurled some spells on them.

A day after he left, the news about the two being frozen in ice amidst something passionately unspeakable for more than twelve hours spread in the palace. It was said the wonderful scene was seen by more than a dozen people.

After that, not mentioning the two middle-aged people, the youngest and most spoiled of the princes couldn't lift his head up for months before his brothers whenever this was mentioned by others.

The system too couldn't believe its host went to the palace just to do something like that. It thought: Ouch. My host is still unreasonable and malicious.

…

On that same day.

Few hours before midnight, before Margarette's date of birth for this year formally arrived.

Adam just saw a very bright blue light shooting towards the dark horizon. Everyone in the whole Holon Kingdom and some other neighboring states were roused from their sleep as it was accompanied by a loud sound that seemingly came from heaven. When everyone went out to check, they were dumbfounded by the sight that greeted them.

”L-look, dear! Over there!”

”Oh, my goddess! W-what is that?”

”Celestial bodies in the sky are exhibiting some strange movements? No, it's not from the sky... Weird...”

”This is a sign from the gods!”

”This is a miracle! Praise the Lords!”

The pillar of light that burst out at the border between the desert and the Holon Kingdom was just too dazzling that nobody could ignore it. Heavenly music even seemed to be playing in everyone's ears as they gazed at it.

For a while, nobody could close their mouths and they kept pinching themselves to see if they were not dreaming. Some even began to do or babble strange things, blurting out guesses about the mysterious phenomenon. The sober ones immediately pulled up several books from their collections to check whether this thing already happened before. Those ignorant and with no desire to overwork their brains simply assumed this was done by the divine.

From the various churches near the site, several tall statues of deities suddenly produced resplended glow before turning into real people with human-like bodies but god-like air and appearances.

Thousands of clergymen who witnessed the scene almost held their breath from shock until they almost forgot to breathe.

There was one only thing in their minds afterward.

'Kneel! The gods have descended!'
