“Please reconsider, Your Grace.”
Leshak’s words caused an opposition from the Guardian Knights.
Sidris stepped forward and said.
“Our forces need to rest, less than three hours have passed since a massive battle ended. This advance is unreasonable.”
Abadd and Veroz also helped him.
“And His Majesty should get some sleep as well. Haven’t you been continuously fighting hard since yesterday? For now, why not pass the dawn resting and consider the advancement after that?”
“That’s what I think too, Your Highness. I’m so tired that I could use a corpse as a bed.”
Normally, Leshak would have first asked about the amount of damage done to the troops, and the number of wounded.
Leshak casually ignored the eyes on him.
“Exclude those who are tired.”
“Your Majesty?”
The eyes surrounding him grew wide. Sidris asked again with a look of disbelief.
“Are you serious?”
Leshak’s greatest virtue was that his justice was not limited to just himself.
Leshak was a monarch who would look at the wounds suffered by even the lowest of the soldiers. He knew that pain, hunger, cold and fatigue were equal regardless of status.
That was the greatest strength Leshak’s Army had. Just as Leshak Caliph is the greatest power the Empire has.
“Don’t make me say it twice.”
Sidris’ expression facing Leshak, was distorted enough to be called rude.
“You want to divide the troops? Asilah Palace is a place called the Heavenly Fortress for a reason. Why are you turning a blind eye to the fact that, marching without rest carries a lot of risk?”
Leshak wasn’t the type of man who was indiscriminate.
Until yesterday.
But now…
Now, everyone facing Leshak realized that.
“Even those who do not want to go.”
“Majesty!”
Sidris spoke up.
“Rather, you should say something else!”
Sidris couldn’t believe that Leshak had changed because of just one man.
“Say now is our chance, let’s take the risk and end Kemened like this. Let’s move now before the other enemy can sniff out our intentions, or whatever! Then I will gladly follow!”
”…….”
Leshak’s gaze moved slightly. His eyes were different than they were yesterday.
“You don’t have to obey. Get out of my way.”
After he finished speaking, Leshak walked through the messy, broken battlefield.
The dawn, which had just begun, was entangled in blood, corpses, fishy smells, and pain that was soiling Leshak’s feet.
“… …”
Abadd, who had exchanged the conflict with silence, followed Leshak to see if he had come to a conclusion.
Sidris’s eyes widened as if in disbelief. It was a shock that no one else, even Abadd, had any objection to Leshak’s dogma.
With Abadd in the lead, other Guardian Knights also began to move.
“Everyone is crazy…… “
Tap-.
Someone tapped the shoulder of Sidris, who had been unable to move because of his disbelief.
It was Incris.
“Don’t stand there. Move it.”
“… …”
“If you stay like that, His Majesty might really leave you behind. I’m sorry, what you just said seems to be the truth.”
Sidris looked at Incris with confusion in his eyes.
“Can you believe it? His Majesty is just like…… ”
“He’s acting like someone who has been hollowed out?
”…. ….”
Sidris shut up and looked at Incris instead.
“The Bear Cub said, ‘Please keep an eye on His Majesty’. He seemed to have noticed something.”
“What?”
“He was mumbling, so maybe I heard it wrong……. But, The Bear Cub was pretty close to the unknown assassin. I think he may know more than we do. Bear Cub is slow but……No, he’s rather slow, so he is more reliable. That guy would never have opened his mouth if he didn’t know something. There is something there.”
Smack-.
Incris slapped Sidris on the shoulder again.
“So, let’s keep an eye on him. You can’t leave His Majesty alone now. As you said, His Majesty is not normal right now.”
“… …”
Then Incris ran away.
The last thing that remained with Sidris were the words the enemy uttered just before he died.
– The Blue Snake will kill Leshak Caliph. The snake will devour his heart.
Those words were exactly the same prophecies made by the Imperial Seer when Prince Leshak was born.
– His Royal Highness will die when a serpent bites his heart.
Now, Leshak was like a man whose heart had disappeared.

2It was midnight.
And the gates of Asilah’s Palace were open.
Leshak’s words, which foretold the end of Kemened, became a reality.
“This is the last moment.”
The Labyrinth’s Palace is done. The place where Leshak stopped was the King’s prayer room.
Huge doors made of brass and tin were gleaming luxuriously with delicate gilding.
And it was closed firmly like the last bastion. It must have been bolted with a bar from the inside.
“Open it.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
Abadd winked and the soldiers brought a giant ax.
Bang!-
Bang!-
The ax hit the door. As the ax blade was haggard, the gap in the door gradually widened.
“That’s enough.”
Then Abadd pushed his sword through the gap in the door.
When the handle was lifted up, the force pushed the bar up.
Creak!-
The door to the prayer room shook.
The god of Kemened, the Patron Saint of Dawn, was powerless.
No matter what the prayers of the Royal Family were, or who it was that was driven to the end, their gods did not have the power to listen.
Creak….. Reverberating Bang!-
Eventually the bar came all the way out. Leshak’s soldiers rushed in pushing the door all at once.
There were about 30 soldiers who came to the prayer room with Leshak, including the Guardian Knights. The rest were in the process of clearing Asilah Palace.
The victory of Leshak’s Army was grand, but the end of the Kemened Royal Family was simple.
There were no special troops in the capital except for the soldiers of the nobles. It was the same with Asilah Palace. With only four hundred members of the Royal Guard, they were no match for Leshak’s army. There was no time to think about the siege, all they could do was help the Royal Family who remained in the palace escape.
The last place the Royal Family who had fled went to, was the prayer room.
This was it!
The door to the prayer room were wide open.
Beneath the luxurious altar adorned with red velvet and silver candlesticks, the surviving Kemened Royals were trembling shoulder-to-shoulder.
Leshak laughed briefly. It was a smile that is unfamiliar to him.
“Is it over now?”
“…….”
Frightened eyes turned to him.
Leshak walked forward and pulled out a chair in front of the altar, and sat down.
“Take a headcount. Make sure you have all the royals, make sure they’re all in the palace.”
It was the end, and the beginning.
For Leshak, the end of the Kemened Royal Family was the first step toward getting the heart back that he had given to Radan.
“Bring the Blue Snake.”
Abadd shoulders stiffened.
“What…… are you trying to do, My Lord?”
He said,
“Bring him.”
Leshak didn’t listen to anything else.
His gaze was fixed in front of him, and his black eyes gleamed like the scales of a beast.
It was the eyes that seemed to reflect all light smoothly.
A faint smile settled on the lips which must have been painstakingly crafted by God.
Abadd clenched his jaw silently.
After having his heart bitten, Leshak became a different person, as though he had been cursed.
What moved Leshak right now was his anger, and wounds tied tightly in a place that no one could see or touch.
“Alright, Your Highness.”
Abadd bowed his head and backed away.
It was to bring Radan.
However, Sidris’ words that followed stopped Abadd in his tracks.
“Majesty. I don’t see the First Prince. None of them seem to be here.”
“What?”
Sidris carefully checked the trembling members of Kemened’s Royal Family.
The appearance of First Prince Razil was nowhere to be seen.
According to the information so far, it was said that he was left unattended in his room after he had his foot cut off by Leshak in battle four years ago.
So not being here meant that someone had taken him away.
It also meant that there was another passage in the Asilah Palace that Leshak did not know about.
“Find them.”
The escape of the First Prince who had the right to succession, meant an extension of the war.
Leshak had no intention of prolonging this war by even a single day.
“Yes, My Lord.”
Madness began again at Asilah Palace, which had lost countless lives and was like a tomb.

3“Hold your tongue, My Lord.”
The Grand Chamberlain of Asilah Palace threw a mixture of emotions at First Prince Razil, who was carried on the back of the Captain of the Royal Guard, as they went down to the basement. Inebriated on hashish, Prince Razil was unaware of what had now happened to the Palace of Asilah.
“Ah, what…… let this go. Where are you going to take me?……”
“The enemy could hear you, My Grace. If you keep doing this, you will have to be gagged.”
The surprise plan of the Second Prince, the current Regent, Prince Loud, was a failure.
The results were severe.
The Imperial Army marched straight to Asilah Palace, and the Royal Guard could only buy some time.
The Imperial Army, which opened the gates exactly three hours later, ravaged Asilah Palace to its heart’s content with bloody swords.
The only thing the vassal could do was use the dementia ridden King as bait, and in the meantime, help Prince Razil to escape.
Now that Prince Laud’s life or death is unclear, even Prince Razil had to live. The role of the Grand Chamberlain was to insure the continuation of the blood of the Royal Family.
“Uh, where…… Where is this….. oh, shit, put me down, I hate dark places.”
The Grand Chamberlain said this.
“Gag him.”
The Captain of the Royal Guard made an embarrassed face.
“Is that okay, Sir?”
“It is unavoidable”
Eventually Prince Razil’s mouth was shut. He resisted, shaking his head, which was no longer like his body, because it was now worn out by drugs.
Ignoring the refusal of the Prince Razil, the Chamberlain raised the candlestick and pointed to the end of the cellar.
“It’s over there.”
He was one of two people to know the secrets of Asilah Palace.
Of course they did not know every inch of this complex maze, like the People of Mjab. All he knew was that the end of this road reached outside the capital.
“Hurry up.”
The Chamberlain urged the Guard Commander.
There was only one entrance to the secret passage from the basement, but there were many ways from the ground to the basement.
Although the King and the rest of the Royal Family were thrown as bait, it was only a matter of time before Leshak Caliph noticed the absence of the First Prince.
The Chamberlain closed his eyes briefly and opened them again as he recalled the backs of the Royal Family as they headed to the Prayer Room, having believed the Chamberlain words, “The prayer room is the safest.”
“When the enemy hasn’t noticed yet, you have to serve your Lord……”
The Chamberlain’s words died down.
It was because of the sound of footsteps echoing through the basement wall.
“Oh God! Hurry up, come on!”
The Chamberlain raised his candlestick high and urged the Royal Guards. The Captain of the Guard handed Prince Razil, whom he was carrying, to another guard and drew his sword.
“You go first, Sir! I will follow behind you!”
“Ah…….”
The Chamberlain sighed.
But he couldn’t stop walking.
“Hurry! Come this way!”
“Watch your step, ….. Oh!”
Bang!-
After a few steps, the doorway on the opposite wall opened.
It was another door leading in from the King’s room. The door opened, revealing a great deal of enemies.
“… ..!”
Splat!-
The head of the guard was then cut off.
There was very little difference in the span of time, so it felt like it couldn’t be true. If it wasn’t for the sound of his dead body falling to the floor, one would have thought they had seen it wrong.
Prince Razil and his party froze without saying a word. There was nothing the rest could do. The swords that they had been holding firmly until recently, lost their angle and fell to the floor without them realizing it.
“It’s an underground passage. I guess it wasn’t called the Labyrinth’s Palace for nothing.”
The Grand Chamberlain recognized the face of the person who said this.
It was Leshak Caliph, the war god of Yveden.
“Take them away.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
“But, wait! The Second Prince is still alive! The Royal Family of Kemened will surrender in the name of the regent! I have the seal of the Regent! Uh, here…… !”
The Chamberlain looked around his waist and pulled out his seal.
It was the first and only thing he had packed with him as he tried to escape.
“Here……!”
Clink–
His trembling hand dropped the seal. At that moment the valet hurriedly bent over to pick up the seal.
“Ah……!”
Leshak stepped on the seal.
As though it were nothing, like stepping on fallen leaves that could not withstand the autumn wind.
“It’s of no use.”
“…. ….”
“Futile.”
They shouldn’t have sent the Blue Snake.
Kemened should have thought hard about what he could do after losing his heart.
Clink–
Leshak kicked the seal.
The seal which rolled carelessly, carelessly hit the basement wall, and broke the corner. The royal seal has now become nothing.
“Take him to the prayer room and search the underground. See where this road leads and see if there is a way out. If there is, there’s a possibility that the Second Prince will use it.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
“Hold on!”
The Grand Chamberlain shouted.
A dark despair swept through his mind. He was the Grand Chamberlain of the Royal Court. He protected the blood of the Royal Family, it was his destiny from the moment he was born.
“I know things,”
Just as he knew the secret passage underground, he knew a lot about the Kemened Royal Family.
One of the things he knew of, was of the People of Mjab.
And he knew of things even the Third Prince didn’t know about, even now.
“Of the fate of the First Prince of Ibeden and…… The Blue Snake of the Kemened Royal Family.”
Those words were enough to make Leshak stop.
His voice of despair was enough to make Leshak wheel around. The Chamberlain lifted his eyes and met Leshak’s gaze.
“I will tell you everything I know. In return, protect the blood of the Royal Family.”
”… …“
Leshak replied.
“I’ll listen first.”
A short smile that didn’t suit him at all, flashed across his face for a moment.
“I don’t know if it’s something worth listening to.”
Although the Chamberlain’s expression was distorted, he did not move his gaze.
The Blue Snake and the Crown Prince of the Yveden Empire were his last secrets. Even Leshak Caliph will not be able to refute this secret.
“I know …It will be something you’ve never heard before.”
“Please reconsider, Your Grace.”
Leshak’s words caused an opposition from the Guardian Knights.
Sidris stepped forward and said.
“Our forces need to rest, less than three hours have passed since a massive battle ended. This advance is unreasonable.”
Abadd and Veroz also helped him.
