Chapter 163 The Grand Parade 1 (2/2)

When I look at my side of the carriage, I see William riding on top of his gray horse. He was wearing his white knight's uniform.

”Greetings princess Alicia, prince Regaleon.” William greeted. Regaleon nodded as confirmation.

”You'll be riding near us?” I asked.

”Yes princess. As your knight, I am tasked to protect you so I must ride close.” William replied with a smile.

”That's good to hear.” I smiled back at him.

Not long I heard the blowing of the trumpets from the starting point of the parade. I felt our carriage started to move forward not long after. I take one last look at my family and waved them goodbye. When my eyes landed at my father I can see his mouth word to me a 'take care'.

At a distance, Gladiolus is seen taking cover under a huge tree inside the palace grounds. The parade line was just an eye shot away from him. He was looking at Alicia seating with prince Regaleon. Gladiolus was watching with an irritated face.

”Your highness.” One of Gladiolus' men just came.

”Report.” Gladiolus ordered.

”I am afraid the route was abruptly changed just this morning your highness.” The subordinate said with a nervous look.

Rage filled up inside of Gladoulus. He gripped the tree's trunk and dug his fingers unto it with irritation.

”That damn prince is really something.” Gladiolus seethed in his anger. He scoffed and started to laugh out loud. ”Haha…hahaha…”

”Y-Your highness?” The subordinate became more nervous as he looked at his master laughing out loud.

”He really is a worthy opponent.” Gladiolus looked at the direction of Alicia and Regaleon's carriage. ”Call the men back and trace their new route. I will be the one to personally lead the attack.”

”Yes your highness.” The subordinate bowed and dashed out with no time to lose.

”Be happy now prince Regaleon because it won't last long.” Gladiolus said. ”Alicia is mine and no one can take her away from me.”

Rage was filled in Gladiolus' eyes. The hand that was on the huge tree's trunk was gripped into fists and punched thru the tree's trunk. The huge tree shook violently with some of its leaves falling. A hole was left at the center of thick trunk.

”I will come for you Alicia. Wait for me.” Gladiolus' gaze was on Alicia's back that was fading away from his sight.
