With no arms and a shattered knee gotten when he still kept trying to fight Seth, Edwin trying to move would only result in the man crawling after Seth in anguish, and this was something that everyone knew, so the only thing in question now was how cruel Seth was.
Edwin had no hope that Seth would allow him to be helped, his current worry was that Seth might lash out at Dilise and he didn't want that to happen, but just as he was about to force himself up and if necessary plead on Dilise's behalf, Seth answered.
"Sure, do what you want, just make sure to keep up," he said with a wave of his hand.
Seth's quick and uncaring answer surprised Edwin, but before he could begin pondering if Seth had some other motives for this mercy of his, Dilise hands wrapped around him and she lifted him up till he was standing on his one good leg, and then said
"Let's go".
Edwin couldn't blame Dilise for wanting to move quickly as one could never know if Seth would just turn around and kill them for being slow.
As they followed after Seth, their eyes were welcomed to the sight of blood on every corner of the corridor, soldiers who Edwin had passed by earlier were now dead, and as far as Edwin was concerned, it seemed there was not a single breathing soul left in the mansion.
As they moved, Edwin looked outside the windows, surprised at the silence that permeated the outside of the mansion considering the fighting that had been going on inside.
Edwin didn't know if he should be happy that the soldiers outside weren't rushing in here and getting themselves killed which would also put the city in a panic or if he should be fearful that the house of the cities leader had just been rampaged through but no one was the wiser, it was a fortunate thing that the mansion wasn't the cities home of central command.
It wasn't long before they stopped moving, Edwin surprised to see that their destination was actually the bar area, and then to his surprise Seth walked to a table and sat down, gesturing for them to sit on a nearby couch as he then proceeded to pick up a bottle which was on that table, open it and pour into a glass which also happened to be on that table, the only proper table in this area seeing as all the others were either upturned or destroyed.
"Imagine my surprise when I came across this baby during my earlier walk here," Seth said, lifting up the bottle in his hand, "the way you guys process your orange to wine yet still manage to keep its true magnificent taste is incredible," Seth said as he downed the contents of the glass in his hand.
Hearing Seth's words, Edwin who had been placed on the couch, and Dilise who was now attending to his wounds were stunned, Seth had dragged them all the way out here just so he could have a drink, and from his words, didn't he just imply that had actually been drinking after or while he carried out his wanton killing.
"What do you want Seth" Edwin finally asked with a defeated sigh, his pride all forgotten, if his obedience could keep Seth calm and hopefully get him out of this city, then he was more than ready to do so.
"Ahhhhh" Seth exclaimed after gulping down another glass, it had been some time since he last had a drink made from orange, and he was in no rush to answer Edwin.
Filling up his cup once more, Seth lifted it up and was just about to have another drink when his hand paused, his sense lightly tingling.
"Do you have any idea who just entered this room" Seth suddenly asked, keenly looking at Edwin, but to the man's credit he didn't lose his composure as he dumbly looked back at Seth.
"No, "Edwin said, innocently looking around and then turned to a confused Dilise and asked her,
"Did you see anyone?".
"No" Dilise honestly relied not understanding what was going on.
While his instincts weren't screaming out in alarm, Seth could still feel that he was being observed, but at the moment, none of his available senses could identify what was watching him.
Seeming to have written off whatever presence was watching him, Seth turned to Edwin and asked,
"what do you know about the soul fruits?".
Despite knowing that he was no longer in Ashad, Seth decided to see if the soul fruits perhaps existed in this world and that was why no one had been able to find them other than Alice's father.
...…Edwin's office….
A shadow stretched out from beneath the door of the office, entering the room, rising up, and turning into an almost completely naked woman, her pitch-black hair almost reaching to her hips while her private parts were covered by a few lingering shadows.
"I'm sorry your highness but I can't attack him," a gentle feminine voice said originating from the just appeared woman.
"What's the matter, did he find you?" Ella anxiously asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Perhaps, he is quite alert and was able to sense my presence immediately I arrived, but other than that he wasn't able to track my movements, I was three steps behind him yet he seemed to have no idea," she said," but just when I was about to make my move, every cell in my body screamed danger".
"Am sorry your Highness but I can't risk dying, keeping you safe is my first priority" she finished.
"Your Highness please forget about Monwac City and make the call," Gastrol said from just beside Ella, having already returned to the princess's side.
Hearing their words, Ella was left in a dilemma unsure of heat to do, before leaving, Edwin had left the paper with her to immediately make the request if things downstairs went wrong, and unfortunately, they had, and now it was time for Ella to make the call, but she just couldn't bear to do it knowing the consequences.
At this time, Monwac city wasn't just any normal city, it was one actively embroiled in war, the enemy stationed just kilometers away from it, and in this situation, it was under certain rules of war, one of them banning the appearance of an immortal anywhere near the city.
Sure they could ignore this rule and call over an immortal, but that would result in the enemy's immortal also making an appearance, and when the immortals fought, Ella could only shudder as she imagined the wasteland Monwac city would become.
