A day passed peacefully in Moss Village.

None of the Elves dared to say a word about the Half-Elf who was currently living in Adeline's house.

They were afraid of offending the Dracolich that could kill them all with a sneeze.

Because of this, they tolerated Lux's existence.

Whatever they thought of him, they kept this inside their hearts and didn't say anything out in the open, knowing what could happen if they were overheard.

On the second day, Lux asked Adeline if she could accompany him to the Fynn Kingdom.

When the beautiful Elf heard about Lux's intention of visiting the Kingdom where she had many happy but also painful memories, she didn't know what to say.

Truth be told, she was afraid of returning since the current King might still want to capture her.

However, after Lux assured her that everything was going to be fine, Adeline decided to trust him.

She knew that the Half-Elf had the Dracolich with him, so their safety was assured. Of course, this was on the condition that there were only two Saints in the Fynn Kingdom.

It had been nearly twenty years since she had escaped from that place, and she hadn't heard any news about it since then.

Although she was still afraid, the hands holding her own gave her strength.

Lux's and Aurora's hands made her feel that, as long as she was with them, she would be able to face the fears that she had long buried inside her heart.

"Village Chief, we will be leaving now," Lux said with a smile. "I might visit this place in the future again, so make sure to treat me nicely when that happens."

"O-Of course!" Ammar replied. "You are welcome to visit us anytime."

The Village Head didn't really want to see Lux again, but what could he do?

He needed to part with him on good terms to ensure that he and the other villagers would be able to keep on living.

Adeline also bid her goodbye to the Village Head and then guided Lux and Aurora to the Teleportation Gate, which was located a kilometer away from Moss Village.

Since all of them were Rankers, it didn't even take them a minute to reach their destination.

The Half-Elf could sense that Adeline was feeling anxious as she started to set the coordinates of the Teleportation Gate.

It had been so long since she had gone to Elysium, and her hands were shaking as she adjusted the dials of the Teleportation Gate.

Lux sighed in his heart, but he didn't say anything. He wanted to help Adeline confront her heart demons by going to the Fynn Kingdom. Also, he wanted to see if a certain possibility existed.

"Are both of you ready?" Adeline asked.

"Yes," Lux replied.

Aurora nodded her head in affirmation.

Taking a deep breath, the beautiful Elf activated the Teleportation Gate, sending her and the two teenagers to Elysium.

When the three of them regained their vision, they found themselves in the plaza of a bustling town.

They were currently in the Capital City of the Fynn Kingdom, which went by the name Kral City.

"Lux, if possible, can you and Aurora please accompany me somewhere first?" Adeline asked. "There is a place that I want to visit."

"Of course," Lux replied. "Lead the way."

Adeline smiled. Then she led the two teenagers toward the West Gate of the city.

As the three of them walked side by side, the people on the street couldn't help but stare in their direction.

A Half-Elf and an Elf traveling in the Fynn Kingdom was a very rare occurrence.

In fact, the only Elves and Half-Elves in the city were slaves.

But, since the two of them weren't wearing any collars, everyone felt that they were merely ignorant tourists who unknowingly entered the Lion's Den.

Aside from the two of them, the people also noticed Aurora.

A beauty like her could bring the downfall of a nation, so almost all the men couldn't help but look at her as she walked by.

In short, the three of them were pure eye candy, and their arrival had already alerted the various Slave Traders inside the city who were always on the lookout for new products to sell.

These people also had connections to the High-Ranking nobles, serving as their protectors.

But, the Black Market, which hosted these underground auctions, had the King as their backer.

Although it had been nearly two decades since they had seen her, the Elders of the Black Market recognized Adeline.

They knew that the King had wanted her since he had first seen her, so they made sure to report their discovery right away.

"So, she has returned…," King Yvar muttered after hearing the Elder of the Black Market. "And, you are saying that there is another beautiful lady aside from her?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Elder reported. "Although I haven't personally seen her, my right-hand man attests that she is even more beautiful than Adeline. She seemed to be in her late teens as well. But, he also noticed something else."

"Hmm?" King Yvar arched an eyebrow. "What else did your subordinate notice?"

The Elder smiled. "These two beauties are being accompanied by a red-headed Half-Elf."

"A Half-Elf?" King Yvar narrowed his gaze. "So, are you telling me that Adeline and that girl are his lovers?"

"That possibility exists, but that is not the main concern, Your Majesty," the Elder replied. "He looks quite similar to your deceased brother, Vincent. If I have to make a bold guess… the Half-Elf might be his son with Adeline."

Yvar's face contorted with rage as he slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne.

"Guards, summon Lennox and Hassan," King Yvar ordered. "Tell them to come see me as soon as possible. Also, call forth Kajus as well. This is an order."

""Yes, Your Majesty!""

The two Royal Guards bowed their heads and left the throne room immediately.

"Where are they headed?" King Yvar asked the Elder of the Black Market in a cold tone. "I sure hope that you took the initiative to have your men follow them."

"I did, Your Majesty," the Elder replied. "They have exited the West Gate and seemed to be headed to Starfall Valley."

King Yvar smiled. "Good. She managed to escape once, but she will not be able to escape a second time."

The King of the Kingdom of Fynn sneered as he thought about the Half-Elf who was accompanying the two beauties.

'If you really are his son, then all I can say is that you are stupid for sending yourself here to my Kingdom,' King Yvar thought.

The King smiled evilly because he couldn't wait to get his hands on the beautiful Elf whom he wished to pin down on his bed ever since he had first laid his eyes on her.

'As for the other beauty, she could serve as the main course after I've had my fill of Adeline,' King Yvar mused. 'It seems that today is my lucky day.'

One of the shadows inside the throne room swayed a bit, but no one was paying attention to it.

At the same time, somewhere outside the city, the corner of the Half-Elf's face curled up into a smile.

'It's good to know that you're as bad as the reports say.' Lux sneered in his heart. 'I just hope that you don't break easily. It will be a shame if you didn't suffer enough after what Adeline and Vincent have been through because of you.'

The Half-Elf looked at the beautiful Elf in front of him, walking side by side with Aurora.

Both ladies were chatting happily as they took a stroll towards Starfall Valley.

The two beautiful ladies were unaware that the King of the Kingdom of Fynn had already summoned his three strongest subordinates in order to capture them.

But, even if they knew, they would simply think that the King was stupid for doing such a thing.

After all, why would they even step foot inside his Kingdom if they had no way to defend against his lustful intentions?

Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

Little did King Yvar know, he wasn't the only one mobilizing their subordinates right at this moment.

Asmodeus, who had stayed in the city to gather information about the King and his misdeeds, had already set things into motion.

His Master had come here for revenge, and he would serve that revenge on a cold platter, which would shake the entirety of the Fynn Kingdom to its very core.
