Chapter 389 Offering Life
"I have already done enough for you!! So, just leave me alone!!" said Extalia.
Hearing this, King Leon gritted his teeth for a moment.
"Li.. I mean.. Duchess Amberblaze, could you just forget our differences and focus on our current situation. Now, we are at war. Our soldiers are fighting for their life while we talk." said King Leon trying to change the topic.
"You soldiers.. Not ours." replied Extalia shortly.
Hearing this, King Leon released another long sigh. He knows how stubborn the woman on the other side is. Although he is the King of the Heart Kingdom and could easily order her around, he will never use his authority over this woman.
Then, the two of them stay silent as Extalia doesn't want to talk anymore and King Leon thinks hard to persuade Extalia. After King Leon feels like being tortured in silence moment for eternity, Extalia finally talks again and throws a ray of hope at him.
"Why now? Why me?" asked Extalia shortly.
King Leon could hear a subtle wavering tone in her voice. Logically, he should reply that it is an urgent time, she is the only one available, or something similar. However, he knows the woman is not asking about these things.
"Haa… This is really killing me. As much as I hate to admit it, it is because of my youngest daughter." said King Leon.
*BAMM* King Leon suddenly heard a large breaking sound from the other side.
"I don't fucking care about your family!!" said Extalia angrily.
Before Extalia could continue, "She survived from that dimension." said King Leon.
"So?? If you want to flaunt and make me angry, you have already done an outstanding job. Speak carefully, Leon. Before I go over there and kill you even if it costs my life." said Extalia coldly.
Hearing Extalia's tone, King Leon knows the woman will really be able to do it. Not only does she have the power to hurt him, but she is also the only person King Leon will gladly offer his life.

Extalia stayed silent and didn't give any reply, signing him to continue.
"Because of some unfortunate matters, those kids fought me last month. Actually, I just wanted to give them a lesson at that time. But, they are the ones that give me important lessons. They… I would be lying to myself if they didn't make me remember you and our time." said King Leon.
"Haa.. I guess I'm terrible at explaining this. Don't worry about my request, I will find another way. I am sorry to disturb…" added King Leon as he had already given up on persuading Extalia.
Before King Leon finishes his sentence, "I will take care of it." cut Extalia.
"Huh??" replied King Leon in confusion.
"I said I will take care of Thornbridge. Just send me the information before I depart and.. Leon… this is your final chance." said Extalia in a sad tone at the end of her sentence.
Hearing this, King Leon unconsciously releases his mana and shakes the whole royal palace. Even the capital city could feel the shake. Some animals even instantly die while all the people are frozen up on the spot.
Fortunately, King Leon immediately calmed himself and did not let his emotions cloud his mind. He knows now is not the time to get emotional.
"I will send all the information about Traynia and their military force. One more thing, Lia.. you don't have to claim my life because I will gladly give it to you." said King Leon resolutely.
Extalia didn't respond for a moment before cutting off their communication. Knowing this, King Leon puts the bracelet in his pocket before disappearing from his working room and arriving at the central command room.
"Did you get any information about Traynia's military?" said King Leon with a stoic and loud voice.
"Y-Yes, sir. Here is all the information about it." said the nearby nervous staff.
Although King Leon didn't release some kind of aura or pressure on these people, everyone in the room knew that he was in a bad mood, especially after the mana pressure they experienced a moment ago.
Reading the report briefly, "Hmm.. Duke Farrowlight and 1000 soldiers. Alright, send this to Duchess Amberblaze." commanded King Leon.
"Yes, my lord. Huh?! Pardon me, my king. Did you just say to send it towards Duchess Amberblaze?" asked the staff as he thought he misheard his king.
At the same time, everyone in the room couldn't help but stop working when they heard the Duchess's name.
"Yes, it is. Why? Is something wrong?!" said King Leon while glaring at them.
"N-No, my king. It will be done right away." replied the staff in a hurry while everyone also returned to work to avoid their king's glare.
The last thing they want is to make their king angry while he is in a bad mood. They could die or completely disappear before they even know it.
At the same time, inside the Amber palace where the Amberblaze family resides, a red-haired woman swung a big greatsword a few times before looking at the Flash squad, who was gathering in front of her. Then, a woman in full-metal armor approaches the woman.
"My lady, this is from the capital." said the woman while giving out some papers.
"Thanks, Adeline." thanked the Duchess shortly before reading the intelligence report.
A moment later, "Hoo… They are trying to destroy the cannon. Interesting… As expected of the people who previously lived in that dimension." said Duchess Amberblaze before burning the report.
"Alright, everyone. We will go to Thornbridge Hold and help them defend against Traynia's army. As usual, the last one will treat everyone's meal." said Duchess Amberblaze before disappearing, leaving only crimson light.
The Flash squad also didn't lack behind and followed their leader at full speed. *Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh* In a few seconds, they are already leaving the Amber Palace and moving towards Thornbridge Hold by running.
A few days passed since the attack from three different kingdoms. During these few days, the entire Heart Kingdom is in an emergency state, especially in the major cities and borders.
Among the three attacked borders, only Thornbridge Hold received massive damage. However, they were also the only ones who managed to capture their enemy's commanders and dozens of fourth-grade soldiers.
In the meantime, Angus is still holed up inside his tent with Jayna. Kissing and moaning sounds could be heard occasionally inside the tent. During the past few days, Angus and Jayna didn't do anything except make love and caress each other while drowning in pleasure.
"Urmm.. Angus, is this alright?" asked Jayna as Angus kissed her smooth neck.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"About what?" asked Angus shortly as trailing his lips towards Jayna's ear.
Hearing Angus's deep voice right beside her ear made her shiver in excitement and blushed. She could feel her lower part heating up again, anticipating another session.
"Urg.. I mean, we didn't do anything besides make love. You didn't even leave me alone when I was in the bathroom." said Jayna trying to suppress her lust.
"And whose fault is that? You are the one that wants to touch my soul despite my warning. I just couldn't leave you alone after making you experience that." replied Angus while looking at Jayna's clear blue eyes.
"Umm.. I thought we could do it like Fire Phoenix and that Forgotten King." replied Jayna timidly.
"Jayna.." said Angus with a soft tone.
"I know.. I know.. We should take it slowly. Love couldn't be forced but built slowly and I already told you I am fine." replied Jayna while giving a cheek pout.
"Fine like really fine or fine to not make me worry?" asked Angus.
"I am really fine. I wasn't affected much by your soul." said Jayna, like suggesting herself.
"*Sigh* Jayna, you should never treat fear lightly. If you have been alone without me for the last few days, a nightmare is the least thing you want to experience. Why did you think Millie avoided me for months after seeing my soul?" said Angus.
"Urmm.. I am sorry. I shouldn't rush this." said Jayna while looking down.
Then, Angus touches Jayna's forehead with his.
"Jayna… Actually, I am relieved and glad you want to touch my soul despite hearing about my warning. Moreover, you still keep loving me despite experiencing that. I couldn't have asked more than this." said Angus while caressing Jayna's cheek.
"Umm.. How could you say something like that bluntly?" replied Jayna embarrassedly.
Just as they want to make another love session, a clicking sound is heard from the nearby communication device.
*Click* *Click* *Click* Then, some papers appear on the top of the communication device. Hearing this, Angus reluctantly leaves Jayna on the bed and picks up the papers.
"Is that the thing you requested from the research center a few days ago?" asked Jayna curiously.
"Nahh.. That thing is too important to be sent through teleportation magic. They decide to send someone from the capital with it. So, I think it will take some time. They will probably arrive in a few more days." said Angus while reading the paper.
