Chapter 317: Reincarnation of a Goddess

"Yes, Your Blessedness. The Emperor wants you in his study to talk about the current situation at the borders."

Without saying another word, Federico ran out of his own study and went to the Emperors.

"Your Majesty," Federico greeted. "Did you receive the right news?"

"Your Blessedness, the beasts have been spotted at the borders of Aster. I already sent two generals to confirm the current sightings of the beasts. It was said that the beasts left Rakha. Do you think"

"Impossible!" Federico insisted. How could the beasts come here? No. That was not possible. He glanced at the map on top of the king's table then he took some extra minutes to examine it. The borders had already been marked with red.

"Those areas are where the sightings happened. Luckily, our soldiers were able to deal with it, but I am afraid if this goes on a tide might happen."

Federico gritted his teeth. Their conversation was interrupted when the door burst open, revealing Martin and General Gustavo, one of the famous generals of the Empire.

"We heard the news," Martin said. "Is the tide upon us?"

"Do not overreact" Federico said. "There is no way that the beasts would reach us so soon. General Gustavo, please prepare your men. I will personally visit the walls of Aster. You will be escorting me there."

"Yes, Your Blessedness."

"What if what if it is actually true?" the Emperor asked. "What if the beasts are coming to Aster?"

"Then we fight!" Federico said. "Do not fret, the other seven families will surely come to our aid." He thought about Ena Thun. Federico had been aware of the relics that could attract beasts. After all, Ena informed him about this in the past. Because of that, he was very confident that the tide would not come to Aster. After all, he was Ena's ally.

He could only wish that he was right and that the relics were still with Ena and her people.

"So you think Mathies could be right?"

"Me have spent more time with Mathies in the past. He is very intelligent."

"The fact that you are intelligent does not mean that you are right all the time."

Mr. Montgomery nodded without saying another word.

"The group will not be fighting this time. We had a few people who were still wounded when we went to Rakha."

"I heard everyone received some good compensation."

"Ha" Mr. Montgomery snorted. "That was not the only good thing that we got in Rakha. The fact that the Duke and his people personally came to help has now spread all over the place. The Kingdom, the King himself did not recognize the rumor, but my people saw what they saw. Everyone else saw that the Duke and his people were there. The one who saved Rakha was Duke Rothley."

"What about the other Blessed Families?"

"Lachlan Blaize was there. He should be able to attest to what everyone saw. Moreover, it seems that the rumor about the Blaize family and the Thun Family is quite true. Lachlan embarrassed Ena Thun in front of everyone and called her out for only arriving when the war was over. It was a sight to see. Me wish me was there to see it!"

At that time, Mr. Montgomery decided to visit Alma and Lucilla who were still hiding in a safe place because of the plague and the beast tide.

"Ah it seems that the seven families are not as strong as they used to be."

"He was right," Mr. Pratt smiled.
