Chapter 33 Royal family of Atlantia 1 (1/2)

”You know that the only one who can use the forbidden magic is a descendant of the royal family of Atlantia.” Leon said.

”I am afraid someone from the royal family survived the purge.” Robert said. ”And he is out for revenge.”

”The royal family of Atlantia, they are a frightening enemy. They don't only have the talent of high magical arts but they also have a talent in physical aspects. It could be the art of sword or hand to hand combat. They are fearsome opponents in the battlefield.”

”I have known that based on experience.” Robert said. ”They are fearsome indeed. If it wasn't for the common folks of Atlantia's help we couldn't have won the war. They also saw the craziness of the mad king in using the forbidden magic.”

”But they weren't able to save their country in the end and it sank in the vast ocean.” Leon interjected.

Robert sighed. ”That forbidden magic is really a frightening power.”

”Well it won't be called 'forbidden' for nothing, right?” Leon said sarcastically.

”We have to stop them from acquiring this fearsome magic.” Robert said.

”Even if it is your son-in-law, your king?” Leon asked.

He looked at the old general seriously, trying to read his reaction. Robert made a serious face and looked at Leon.

”Even if it is my own king, I will not let that fearsome magic ever surface again.” Robert said with conviction. ”I saw how that magic erased a country from this continent. Million's of lives perished with it. I don't want to see that happening ever again.”

Leon smiled. He knows that this old general is more loyal to his oath to the country and people rather than to a person called a 'king'.
