A gigantic eagle landed slowly on the ground. Even with its wings folded, it stood over ten feet tall. Its yellowish eyes appeared sharp, most likely due to its owner's imposing presence on its back.Upon seeing the old man atop the eagle, the surrounding servants and guards were momentarily stunned before kneeling in unison and shouting, "Welcome home, my Lord!"Raelynn and Vince turned to see the old man. They promptly lowered their heads and called out, "Father."Nearby, the injured Max and Noel supported each other, approached, and called out, "Grandfather."The old man on the eagle's back looked over to the right, where Ebert lay on the ground, before turning his gaze to Isaac."You there. Why haven't you greeted me?" He pointed at Isaac.Raelynn immediately tugged at Isaac's sleeve and whispered, "Quick, call 'Grandfather'."Isaac felt a surge of pressure and his heart raced only from exchanging a glance with the old man. Under his mother's reminder, he called out in a low

As Rhett's voice fell, everyone turned to look at him, each with a trace of tension."First, stay in the west courtyard. You can't get out without my permission."Second, leave Starbloom City. I'll act as if I never knew you."If you choose the first option, you'll get everything Max possesses. When the time is right, I'll send you to the Royal City to work in the royal court." Vince and Wren widened their eyes, looking at Rhett in disbelief.Max was nearing the age of 25. Logically, he could go to the Royal City to serve in the royal court at any time. Nonetheless, Rhett never mentioned it.They never expected him to plan for Isaac to go to the Royal City. "Isaac, listen to your grandfather. Choose the first option, the first one!"Raelynn immediately grabbed Isaac and urgently persuaded him.Rhett's words were clear. As long as Isaac took the first option and stayed in the west courtyard, he would be safe. When the time came, Rhett would send him to the Royal City to serv

When Fabrice and his group arrived at the front yard, Rhett led Zaid and others to the steps."Greetings, Lord Zimmerman!" Fabrice greeted Rhett.Nearby, Zaid nodded at Fabrice. Although they were both generals and didn't communicate much, they were familiar with each other."Greetings, Uncle Rhett!" Kingsford also quickly greeted Rhett.Despite their high status, none of them dared show the slightest arrogance in front of Rhett."Heavenly Eagle City's general, what brought you here?" Rhett squinted and looked at the group below calmly.Fabrice glanced up and stated solemnly, "Lord Zimmerman, we've confirmed that the bandit who kidnapped the saintess from Heavenly Eagle City a few days ago is hiding in your mansion. His name is Isaac Garten. Do you know him?"Rhett frowned, while Zaid and Vince turned pale.The saintesses of the Kingdom of Vriweth possessed a unique position. They might not be powerful or have significant resources, but they were protected by the kingdom.They

It wasn't Queenie's arrival that made Isaac appear, but Kingsford's. He overheard Kingsford talk about marrying Raelynn.Isaac aggressively scanned the faces in front of him, finally settling on Kingsford."Do you think you're worthy to marry my mother?" He glared coldly at Kingsford.Kingsford was taken aback for a moment before laughing heartily. He pointed at Isaac and remarked, "You have a bit of your father's temper. Brat, just follow General Sabiston for now."You may rest assured. Since your mother will become my woman, I won't stand by. Of course, I'll treat her better than Gael Garten did back then."As he spoke, his smile deepened. His eyes gleamed with victory."You bastard!" Isaac suddenly roared. Holding the Skyrend Sword, he unleashed an explosive surge of spiritual energy straight toward Kingsford's chest."Seize him!" Fabrice commanded coldly.The three men behind him unleashed their spiritual energy simultaneously, charging at Isaac, who was rushing down the st

Fabrice paused for a moment before whispering to the butler, "Don't let anyone else know about this. You may go now."After speaking, he hurriedly walked toward the south courtyard.Kingsford was sitting in the pavilion, sipping warm tea leisurely and admiring the starry sky above."I just returned, Lord Hackworth. I didn't expect to be here already. You should have informed me earlier so that I could entertain you." Fabrice smiled as he walked briskly into the pavilion.Kingsford smiled back. "General Sabiston, according to the kingdom's laws, offenses involving the saintess are to be dealt with in the Royal City, right?"Fabrice was stunned, then nodded with a smile. "Yes, tomorrow morning, I'll personally send Isaac to the Royal City and hand him over to the Military Department.""With you in charge, there shouldn't be any issues. However, it's over a thousand miles from Heavenly Eagle City to Royal City. There might be some unexpected incidents along the way." Kingsford smirk
