Chapter 202 - The Atlantian Archeologist and Researcher (1/2)

(Regaleon's POV)

I have been cooped up inside my office for the past few days now. And so I thought to have a walk at the palace garden to get some fresh air.

These past few days have become hectic. The enemy's battle plans that Willam have sent from Jennova has been very helpful. Using them as a guide, my army had made preparations and precautions before the surprise attack starts.

I have been restless since Alicia's last letter. How many days have passed by and no new letters have come. I can't help but worry about her.

I look at the beautiful palace garden where the signature blue roses were planted. These blue roses are one of a kind and are only found inside the palace. The insignia of the royal family of Grandcrest bear the blue rose in it.

I heaved a deep sigh. I have hoped to lift up my spirits by looking at the beautiful scenery of the palace garden but all I can think about was my love.

”How I wish you are here my love.” I said to myself. ”I wanted to show this garden to you after we got engaged. I am sure you would have loved it.”

Remembering Alicia's beautiful face in my memories made my heart ache. The distance between us now is unbearable.

”How I wish I can fly there over to you and snatch you back to my side.” I looked at the clear blue sky above. I just wish for this war to end and for you to come back to my side where you should belong.

I see Tempest flying overhead, circling my position.

'You have a guest.' I hear Tempest's voice inside my head.

'Oh, who could that be?' I asked telepathically.

'The researcher you have ordered to be searched for, I helped find him.' Tempest replied nonchalantly while landing on my arm.

”Is that so?” I answered him out loud. ”Then I have to give you a reward then.” I smiled at him.

'Then prepare me a feast later.' Tempest spread his wide wings and prepares to take flight.

”Then I will prepare you some fat game later.” I replied.

Tempest flapped his wings and took off into the sky. What he asked for was a good game to hunt. He did not want food served for him, he wanted the challenge of hunting them. And because these past few days he was on a mission, he was unable to hunt good food that is why he was asking for a good game.

”I will tell Dimitri to prepare you a good catch later.” I said.

Not long I see Dimitri walking towards me with a middle aged man behind him. He has crimson hair like Jack but more on a darker tone with some white hair peeking out. He was wearing a solemn smile on his face.

”Your majesty.” Dimitri bowed before me. ”I have brought Mr. Gilbert Wilson here as you have ordered.”
