Chapter 1059 Starting


    ??"Gah!" A man got knocked out from behind and fell to the ground, unconscious. The person who knocked him down was none other than Dimitri.


    "This makes it 52. To think there are so many spies in this city. If we open the main city, that number is going to surpass it easily. Even during the migration, we have to kill close to a hundred people." Dimitri muttered in a low voice as his shadow began to devour the body.


    "Dimitri. Another one for you." Harley walked from the opposite side, dragging another body. He tossed it into the shadow so that Dimitri could absorb him.


    "How many spies are there?"


    "I don''t know. Our job is to kill them so that there won''t be any chance of them ruining this ceremony." Harley shook his head. He had lost count of how many people he had eliminated as well.


    "Indeed." Dimitri nodded in agreement.


    "When is the train supposed toe?"


    "Tomorrow morning," Dimitri answered while ncing at the city road. There were a lot of decorations hanging on the building. The street had been cleaned up multiple times.


    They had truly rushed the reconstruction project for the sake of tomorrow. The train station was not a big deal, but fortunately, they managed to change the wall to create the fifth gate linking directly to the train station.


    "Anyway, I''m going to find another spy if there''s any. I''ll just tell you about this. Howard has set up all the soldiers at the key points. All the nobles have arrived, except for the royal family."


    "Those nobles don''t make trouble, right?" Dimitri asked with a grim expression as if he were nning to ''educate'' some nobles who couldn''t behave properly.


    "Right now, they''re under control. Howard is the one ensuring it. Luckily, our master''s name is also effective, since they don''t want to make us their enemy. In fact, I''ve received the news from several brothels located in those four nobles'' territories. They are on their wits end. While we''re happy here, they''re going to suffer."


    "I don''t care about what happens outside our territory right now." Dimitri paused for a moment. "After dealing with these spies, I''ll greet the Ezenholm family and other important guests."


    "Alright. I''ll have to go too."


    Both of them disappeared into the dark alley.


    As Harley said, Howard was taking care of their guests since there were a lot of VIPsing into this city.


    Even the inn''s staff had trouble dealing with them. Howard was there to ensure that the nobles didn''t do anything to the staff. He had permission to use Noel''s name to make them behave if necessary.


    There were also a lot of people trying to see the rune technology scattered around the city. All of them were guarded heavily, making sure no one came to destroy them.


    After taking care of the spies, Dimitri finally paid the VIPs a visit. Each of them had significant status in the kingdom or in Noel''s eyes.


    The first VIP was none other than the Ezenholm family. Raincart personally came together with his children and grandchildren. Even Dimitri felt pressured against him, considering his strength was simr to that of the Sword Arbiter. Raincart even made a fuss, telling him that anyone who dared to disturb this wedding would have to face his wrath.


    The second VIP came from the Stargaze family and Vivian''s family, the Allevion family. After meeting Noel and Anna, the Stargaze family headed to this city first to check on all their preparations. Kevin even offered to help with the security, which Dimitri politely refused.


    The third VIP was not losing to any of them. After all, he was themander of the Demon Banner Army, Oscar. For Dimitri, he was a former rival fighting for themander''s seat. But for Noel, he was formerly the suprememander of the unit he grew up with. Of course, Oscar brought along Milfa and the Demon Relief Squad''s zero squad, including ra.


    The fourth VIP were the respective representatives of the Zaecuria Kingdom and the Greenwood Kingdom.


    Last but not least, thest one was none other than Duke Lorelei, considering he had been helping with their security this whole time.


    There were still the royal family, the Water Lord, or some nobles that came to attend the wedding. However, it didn''t really matter for Dimitri. Noel also didn''t tell him to personally greet them.


    Though, there was still one more guest that Noel asked him to greet… A guest that no one would expect.


    …


    Finally, the next day had arrived. The promised day between Noel and Anna.


    In the demon territory, a muscr man walked into the room, finding Noel''s father, Luke, sitting weakly while looking at the clear blue sky.


    "Are you sure you''re not going, Master? The young master would be delighted to see you there." The muscr man asked.


    "I would be lying if I said I didn''t want to go, but it''s fine. Leysha is there, and Silvester follows her to make sure she doesn''t blow out her cover." Luke shook his head. "Both of us know that me being there will just cause future problems since I''m not powerful. Maybe everything will change if I be as strong as my brother, eh, Raven?"


    Raven didn''t reply to that question as he was unable to predict what would happen. Raven looked at his lord, who was extremely vulnerable today.


    His lord was always the mastermind of all kinds of schemes. He rarely showed his weakness, no, it was more urate to say that the time he showed his weakness was because he wanted people to know that weakness.


    However, today was different. This was the most important day in his son''s life. As a father, he would definitely love to attend. After all, he knew about Ardagan''s curse and the fact that Noel would only have a single wife. Unfortunately, the circumstances prevented him.


    "Enough about me. Why don''t you bring me some alcohol? The best one we have."


    Ravel closed his eyes after seeing that regret in his master''s eyes. He only lowered his head and prepared what he wanted without saying anything before leaving him alone.


    Luke raised his cup into the air and muttered, "Congrattions to you, my son. I hope that you''re able to tackle all the problems in your life and lead a good and happy family. Don''t be like me… a failure who is unable to attend my son''s wedding."


    …


    In the main city, Old Jade was standing on top of the city wall, facing south, as if he were looking at the city far on the horizon.


    "What are you doing here alone, Old Jade?" Roel climbed the wall while bringing some alcohol.


    "You''re going to drink this early?" Old Jade smiled, ncing at Roel.


    "This is a joyous asion. How about joining me?" Roel handed over a cup for him.


    "You''re making my old liver work hard, you know." Old Jade chuckled before grabbing the cup. "I''ll join you though."


    Roel poured him a drink while saying, "Thank you for remaining in this city."


    "What are you talking about? Even if I''m not here, that Pdin is still here." Old Jade chuckled. "While it''s a shame that I can''t see the young Lord today, I guess I should be happy that I''m trustworthy enough to hold the fort here."


    "Indeed. To think that the young man I met a few years ago would actually be the Lord I serve." Roel smiled.


    Among his retainers, there were four people he didn''t bring on this asion. Aside from Old Jade and Roel, Jasmine and Dous didn''t go to the ceremony.


    Charlotte was the one taking care of the entire process, so she would be there. Harley, Howard, Andreas, and Dimitri took care of the security. Livia and Tristan were there as his students, while Sandra served Noel as a personal maid and met up with Tristan from time to time.


    Felicia had be the symbol of the Rune Magician, so she and Grandell were the ones leading the parade. Khalid had to be there since there would be a lot of people who needed his ability. Of course, the priests from the Moon Temple would be helping him.


    Now that the train had gone for a while, it became a bit lonely.


    Old Jade looked at the distant while muttering, "May the Spirit God bless you with its presence."


    …


    The situation in the main city and Laivaen City was the exact opposite. There was only a festive mood inside as people excitedly waited for the arrival of their lord. This was the person who had changed the city and turned it into something that would only appear in their dreams.


    There was no way they would miss this event. The people were cramming into the street. A lot of people also came to the top of the city wall.


    The first ones who were able to see the iing train were the ones on the wall. As if greeting their arrival, they blew out the horns.


    The deep echo became the signal of the arrival of Noel and Anna. All the people burst into cheers.


    The trumpets started filling the entire city and the drumbeat matched the rising expectations of the people.


    The citizens were standing on both sides as the soldiers managed them so that they didn''t end up standing in the way.


    The people near the gate were trying to take a peek and saw the giant train gradually stopping right in front of the city.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The cheers became even bigger, especially once the trailer was opened.
