CHAPTER 60: ARTIFICIAL UMBRALITH ORES
“You’ve exceeded my expectations this time, Lady Sarah Topwell. In just a span of a few months, the Applied Magics & Science Research & Development already made batches of artificial Umbralith ore. And it’s obvious that the artificial Umbralith here… are no different from the raw, pure and natural Umbralith. I’m impressed. “Third Prince Cain Vailtair Thaloria says as he examines the fresh batch of Umbralith Ore created in absolutely secrecy, in a top secret research facility underneath the Gloomwood Bastion, the territory of House Timber guard, a vassal House of House Frostmark, directly under control of Third Prince Cain, 10 or more meters deep under the ground. The artificial Umbralith Ores glow with unnatural power, and whereas the natural Umbralith ore is black, the artificial Umbralith ore is a dark grey. “ The colors are a bit different though, as you can obviously see, Your Highness. “Lady Sarah Topwell says, gesturing to the artificial Umbralith Ore. “ What do we care abo
CHAPTER 59: LORD GIDEON STORM'S PERSPECTIVE
“ It's been a year since you left us, Father. I hope you're happy now, wherever you might be, in heaven or hell. I’ll always treasure your lessons. “Lord Gideon Storm looks out of his private solar tower in the Storm Citadel, located right in the heart of Storm City, and says the words to the strong winds outside. Thanks to the blessed tree saplings that King Alaric sent to Storm Province to plant across the Bay of Sirens as a windbreaker, the crops don't suffer damage anymore. Oh, and the lumber industry is still as lucrative as ever, due to the high demand from the Maritime Compact, the slaver lords, the wealthy nobles, wealthy commoners, & middle class commoners from Blackmoor Province. Their appetite for high-class, study lumber from Storm Province knows no bounds. The same goes for the preserved wild beast meat, wild beast sausages, wild beast hams, wild beast chorizos, wild beast longganisas, and wild beast bacons from the dangerous beasts that prowl all over Storm Province. T
CHAPTER 58: HOUSE CHAMBERLAIN'S RISE
Right after the abrupt elimination of the entire House of Jeffries, the rival of House of Chamberlain, which is also another prominent House in the Free City State of Aethelgard, to whom the Archon confides in,is nothing short of remarkable. The current Lady Protectress of House Chamberlain, Lady Lorelei Chamberlain, young, no older than 18, and full of ambitions, quickly takes advantage of the gap left by the elimination of House Jeffries. Discreetly funded by Third Prince Cain Vailtair Thaloria, who considers the dissolution of the merchant empire of House Jeffries a waste, House Chamberlain, which used to be a considered a sidelined minor House in Aethelgard, with small mercantile capacity, suddenly has the means to buy the entire merchant empire of House Jeffries, and buy out the merchant empire it did. And the results are nothing short of astounding. In the span of just a few weeks, the wealth, voting power in The Aethelgard Council, and purchasing power of House Chamberlain
CHAPTER 57: PRINCE ALARIC'S COUNTERMEASURES
Crown Prince Alaric Vaelen Blackmoor-Thaloria, who now styled himself King Alaric Thaloria 1, sits inside the throne room of Thaloria City, listening to the suggestions put forth by his council. “ Your Majesty, the Krakenfells grow overbold lately. I hear they plan to sell off their Kraken Fleet, and upgrade their fleets into what they called solar frigates, bristling with those strange, deadly guns and missile launchers. I suggest we answer this threat, and make the most of it to our advantage. “ Lady Leonora Blackmoor says, looking at her son straight in the eyes with a steely look that will have caused any other man, or woman, who doesn't have the will of iron to wilt like a plant starved of water. “ Don’t worry, mother. They grow overbold indeed, and their monstrous sea beasts started attacking our supply lines, and merchant ships that trade in the waters of Thaloria City, Blackmoor Province, & Storm Province. But I already set up countermeasures. We have a refilled royal t
CHAPTER 56: BAPTISM BY FIRE
“ This is your first test mission for today, ladies & gentlemen. You are all tasked to eliminate the remnants of House Jeffries on Aethelgard. “ General Belinda Malone, dressed in sharp,tactical combat clothes, addresses a group of former hedge dames & hedge knights, no more than 100, who survived the grueling Frostmark Black Forces Training out of the thousands who joined initially, in the briefing room. “ Albert Brentwood here is your acting commander for this mission. Remember, this is not a drill or a simulation. This is real life warfare, and you may lose your life out there. You’ll be up against medieval hostiles. You have a few minutes to prepare your weapons and your other necessary supplies. Drop off is in 0800 hours, whilst the enemy is still eating breakfast. “At exactly 7:55 am in the morning, Albert Brentwood and his team are dropped off near the newly reconstructed House Jeffries fortress, which used to be manse. A former hedge dame named Dame Gabrielle Bentley, no
CHAPTER 55: FROSTMARK SPACE AGENCY
A few days upon Third Prince Cain Vailtair Thaloria’s return to Frostmark Province, he gets annoyed when an Astromancer named Cecille Becket from Starhaven Kingdom who moved to Frostmark Province, and recommended to him by Lord Regent Zachary Starhaven, of House Starhaven, has the gall to say “Planet Ares has omens of war, Your Highness. Mayhaps we need to make sacrifices, and do certain rituals to avert this calamity. “ “ What's your name, good mage? “ “ I’m Cecille Becket, an Astromancer, and it's an honor to meet you in person, Your Highness. “ “Do tell me, Cecille, since you look like you’ve done astrology before, have you ever done actual, useful science, and found practical magical uses for your craft? Or do you just spout meaningless fantasies from staring at the stars until your eyes go numb? “ Third Prince Cain snorts in amusement, and laughed drily, his laughter rich yet mocking, and cut sharp as a blade.“Your Highness, astrology is a revered profession. I advise you n
