Chapter 438 - 388 : Five Thousand (1/2)
”Dan hasn't come back yet?”
Although he became King, Isadore preferred his old office so he kept using it even after ascending to the throne. He just asked Christopher, the minister of finance and his long-time friend.
”No, Your Majesty.”
The fat minister shook his head while saying that.
”Oh come on, no need to be polite when we're alone.”
Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Christopher said
”N-no can do, Your Majesty. You're our king an-”
Isadore cut him off while retorting
”Before we're a 'king and his subjects', we are friends. It is for this reason that I only allow you to come here and speak of my secrets to you.”
The fatty scratched the back of his head while smiling
”I'm flattered, Your Majesty.”
Seeing the stubborn attitude of his friend, Isadore could only let out a helpless sigh. He glanced at the silent silver-haired woman sitting at the corner of the office before unfolding a small piece of paper he received a few minutes ago.
After carefully reading it, he sucked a deep breath and shifted his attention back to the busy Taliya.
”Taliya.”
Hearing him call her name, the new adviser put down the papers in her hand and walked to him. He handed her the piece of paper he just got and said
”What do you think?”
After she finished reading the contents of the paper, the demon frowned and replied
”Are you sure of their authenticity?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
She was talking about the content of the small paper.
”Surer than sure.”
Without realizing it, Taliya sat next to the king and started reading the small paper again and again.
”I, I don't think it's true. Arthur would never let Lucy go alone.”
She looked at him and asked
”What about you? What do you think happened to them.”
Isadore raised his hand innocently and retorted
”Hey, I'm not the one who's close to them. You should know them better than I do.”
After that, Taliya spent a long time pondering before speaking again.
”No, it's impossible. Arthur would rather die than separate from Lucy.”
Isadore creased his brows and asked
”To that extent?”
She nodded her head while confirming his suspicions
”More than you think. He would stop at nothing to guarantee her safety and it is for this reason that I think this information is either false or incomplete.”
Hearing this, Isadore burst out in laughter, startling the focused Taliya who looked at him with a strange gaze.
”I also think the probability of them separating is close to zero. You mentioned that he can freely change appearance? Perhaps he's following them? Then again, how come the Overgod hasn't noticed him? Moreover, how will he infiltrate that place, after all, it's not a second-rate clan.”
Taliya shook her head, indicating that she doesn't know what the hell was going on. With one finger unconsciously tapping the table, Isadore kept pondering
'Did he follow them or return to Astria? He isn't foolish enough to try and fight them alone but… who'll help him? The Kangs? Impossible, they aren't that deeply involved yet. Then why'd he let Lucy go back? Is it a trick? Did he send a clone? I need more information from Dan!'

Arthur accompanied the Whisperer King for a whole day before leaving the Ghost Nation. Time was running out and the Time Wraiths are becoming more and more numerous. He heard what he need to hear from the Whisperer King so he needs to complete the last task before succumbing to the Wraiths.
With a silver baby dragon in his arm, he teleported to a peaceful place devoid of any person. He rubbed the dragon's cute head while saying
”Never did I think I would spend my final days with you, Yamak.”
The dragon licked his face, covering it with saliva. Yamak was as energetic as ever, its growth speed is truly monstrous. In just a short period of time, his size almost doubled and his strength rose by leaps and bounds.
As he glanced around, Arthur let out a sigh and mumbled
”It shall end just like it began.”

A few hours after Lucy was 'guided' to this room, someone knocked three times on the door. Although Lucy completely ignored them, whoever was there refused to leave and patiently waited for her.
