119 Great Day (2/2)

The enchantment is to make a protective golem, which means that the golem has a link to the wizard who created it, so Angela can order it about who it allows passing through the area.

So Angela ordered the golem only to attack wild beasts and people who attack it first.

She was tired from expending her mana quickly to speed up the process of making the golem, just like Lucien told her to. Then she walked towards him.

Lucien walked over to Angela and hugged her. ”Very well done, mother-in-law. You worked really hard, so I'll help you recover your mana this time.”

Of course, Angela smiled when receiving praise from Lucien, but soon she was very embarrassed because she let him hug her so easily.

”Not here... The guards can see us and gossip later…” Angela wanted Lucien's kisses to recover her mana quickly... And because it felt so good.

Lucien gently lifted Angela's chin and made her look at his tender smile. ”Don't worry about the guards. They are too scared of me to look at us.”

Surely the guards were afraid. After the first castle guard lost his arm, everyone was terrified of the devil Lucien.

The man who lost his arm survived with the help of healers. But they were unable to reattach his arm, because they didn't have a skilled enough healer. The guard was grateful to be alive and warned everyone never to offend that devil.

The people were not stupid, and they understood that the mysterious husband of the second princess is the ally who Ron and the Queen talked about.

Everyone could see the good that was being done for the Kingdom, and nobody wanted to complain about the ally being a devil.

The people's thinking is simple: ”As long as it is good for us, everything is fine.” So nobody wanted to offend Lucien or his women.

When the guards saw Lucien hug Angela, everyone looked away. They wanted to forget that they saw them together.

Stories would be told about that day. The day that Queen Angela and several wizards made the powerful golems that will defend the western border for hundreds of years…

But as for the details and how the golems were made, everything would be very vague. The guards would always say things like ”Everything was done with a lot of respect,” leaving many people confused about what they were really talking about.

After all, who wanted to meddle in the affairs of the devil? It was not as if Queen Angela was suffering in his arms. On the contrary, the moans she made while kissing Lucien made the guards walk away.

--------------------------

While the exciting display of golems being made was taking place at the border of the forest, inside the situation was quite different.

In a small camp within the forest, several people were gathered. Everyone seemed to be very nervous, while gazing at a tall man in leather armor.

”Everyone stay calm! Let's return to the fortress quickly as we will be safe there.” The tall man tried to calm down his comrades.

A woman came out of the crowd looking more concerned than most there. ”Alden, we cannot abandon our people in the forest!! Many are on raids and hunting.”

Alden, the tall man, knew that, but he also knew the dangers they would be at if they didn't start running now.

”You know that this is the protocol decided by the leaders. There's an army going through the forest, so we have to hide in the fortress!!”

The woman could only make a face and try to argue. ”But this time is different! They're not just passing through the forest... They seem to be looking for someone. Maybe hunting us.”

Before Alden answered, another man spoke. ”This is crazy! Why would the soldiers of the Light Empire hunt mere bandits like us? You must be mistaken.”

Everyone looked confusedly at the woman, but then another woman stood beside her.

”I was with her, so I saw it too. The Light Empire soldiers divided their army into several troops and went in different directions, looking for something or someone.”

Alden is not the vice-leader of the bandits for no reason. He is a smart person and knows that even improbable things can happen.

”Okay, so what if they are hunting us? That is a great reason for us to return to the fortress right now.”

The woman closed her hands in fists by the anger. ”Fuck you, Alden!! Our people are out there in the forest, but you're only thinking about running? We have to warn everyone to go to the fortress.”

Alden was about to answer when a man ran out of the bushes. He is one of his scouts, and he seemed to have spent all his energy running.

It was evident that the scout had something to report, so Alden approached him. ”What did you see?!”

The scout was having trouble breathing but tried his best to report. ”People... Soldiers... Bluewind soldiers, I guess... On the eastern border. They seem to be doing something.”

Alden can't help but roll his eyes. ”Bluewind? Those hicks are no threat to us. We have bigger problems now.”

The scout was confused, but then Alden explained. ”A Light Empire army is passing through the forest, and they seem to be looking for something or someone.”

”Let's try to warn as many of our people as possible before we hide in the fortress.”

Alden gave the order, and half the people went to warn their comrades while the other half was very afraid and went to the fortress.

The scout understood the situation, but he had no way of explaining the bad feeling he had when he saw the people at the top of the hill, precisely the fear he felt when he looked at Lucien.

”Alden... About the people of Bluewind…” The scout tried to argue, but Alden made his order clear.

”Forget them! Go back to your partner and tell him to start to find our people and sending everyone to the fortress.”

The scout no longer argued and ran back to warn his partner of the problems with the Light Empire's soldiers.
