Chapter 35 The Atlantian Prince (2/2)

”That was in the past young prince.” Hector smiled. His smile was chilling. The prince knew that this priest was spouting lies in his face.

”Do not worry. I don't have any plans taking revenge.” Gladiolus said. ”I just want to have a country to call home again. Where the other Atlantians who have survived the purge can call home. I saw their state in my travels. They are refugees that are treated poorly by the countries that took then in. What I don't like is how they treat them indifferently. They treat then like filth.”

”And the king of Alvannia promised you a country?” Hector asked.

”It is none of your business.” He said to Hector.

What Hector just asked was correct. King Edward of Alvannia promised him land, if they win the war they are planningagainst the country of Grandcrest. He just needs to find the scattered writings about the forbidden magic to have an edge for the war. As of now Grandcrest has the most powerful army with well trained soldiers.

”Don't worry young prince. I am here as an ally and not as an enemy. Here.” Hector took a piece of paper from his pocket and gave it to Gladiolus.

Gladiolus took it and looked at it curiously. He opened it and saw the stamp of King Edward of Alvannia. He read it's contents.

'Dear Prince Gladiolus,

I have made an allegiance with the country of Jennova. Someone from the country of Jennova is there to give you safe passage to their country. I know that Grandcrest soldiers might have known your existence now and being here in Alvannia can pose a risk to our plan. For now please go with the Jennovian representative.

King Edward'

Gladiolus crumpled the paper and it burned into ashes with flames.

”So I will be going with you.” Gladiolus said.

”Yes young prince. Let us wait for the cover of night. Your magic can help us to move undetected.” Hector said.

Gladiolus sighed. For his people, he is willing to do anything.
