Chapter 157 Requesting Friendly Help

"Edwin what are you doing, the city isn't under attack, yet you have it on the highest level of security, what is going on?" a relatively tall black-haired man dressed in black leather armor which covered only his upper body asked Edwin.

"This doesn't concern you, return to your place by the Princess Gastrol," Edwin said, looking up at the man who had hurriedly walked up in front of him as he moved to his office.

"I come on orders of the princess, is this what you will want me to tell her," Gastrol asked his eyes narrowing at Edwin.

Hearing Castrol's words, annoyance built up within Edwin, for all he knew Gastrol could be lying, but on the off chance he was speaking the truth, it would be a serious offense if were to just ignore the princess's questions.

"We'll talk in my office," Edwin said as he continued in his strides, Gastrol nodding his head and moving with him.

Monwac city was ruled by a lord, and Edwin just happened to also be the lord of this city, the city's administrative and military auxiliary headquarters, just happened to be his mansion.

Edwin's mansion was a huge building with four towers around it that looked down on the whole city, its white painted walls made for a clear landmark for those who looked at Monwac city from afar.

It took some minutes for Edwin and Gastrol to be done with the long hallway and finally step into a room located on the highest floor of the mansion.

Edwin took a seat behind his desk and pulled out a sheet of paper that had a golden tint and twinkle to it, but just as he lifted up his pen to write on it, he hesitated and brought down the pen, his mind sinking into contemplation, but unfortunately for him, Gastrol wasn't patient enough to allow him to think.

"What is going on?" Gastrol spoke, pulling Edwin out of his mind, the man letting out a sigh as he decided to deal with Gastrol so he could focus on his work.

Edwin opened his mouth to begin talking, but before he could let out a sound, the door to the office was pushed open, both men immediately turning around in shock, swords appearing in their hands as they turned to face the enemy that managed to reach the door without alerting them.

"Princess" both Edwin and Gastrol said at almost the same time, lightly bowing when they saw who it was at the door.

A light red hair woman dressed in an embroiled white robes who had her hair woven together as it lay on her back, the jewelry adorning her ears, and wrist would make any man look twice, but her fair face and sharp jaw would have any man look at her five times.

"Ella what are your doing here, what if someone had seen you," Gastrol said, hurriedly closing the door after she entered and standing by the princess's side.

"It's alright Gastrol, I had Minuha bring me," Ella said, Gastrol's body just slightly tensing up at her words, while Edwin couldn't help throwing his eyes around, seemingly searching for something.

"I apologize for my unannounced entry Lord Allof, staying in my chamber all through got a little too boring, and when I heard of the weird situation going on within the city, I couldn't resist the curiosity," Ella said a smile on her face as she walked towards Edwin.

"It's alright princess, please have a seat, I was just about to explain to Gastrol about the situation, "Edwin said, throwing Gastrol a glare as the princess exposed his lie.

With the princess seated, Edwin went on to speak.

"There is currently a dangerously powerful man loose in the city," Edwin said, going straight to the point.

"A powerful man, is it Zuroc," She asked sitting up and lightly biting her lips.

"No," Edwin said," It's an invader, a very strange one".

"Earlier, I went off to face against a group of invaders, and during our battle, I came across this man, and this man despite dressing like an invader and perfectly speaking their language fought against the other invaders and killed them.

After killing them, the man moved to enter the city, but I intercepted him, he fled from me, and then somehow managed to infiltrate the city" Edwin explained, conveniently editing complex events that he thought shouldn't be said.

"One man, does one man truly require such active mobilization of the whole city" Ella softly asked.

"Ha, ha, ha, yes Edwin, tell us, have you gotten so weak that you couldn't stop a single man and now you're panicking just because of his presence, I thought Monwac city was the kingdom's impenetrable southern defense" Gastrol jeered, his word almost growing a vein on Edwin's head but he calmed himself down and replied.

"Yes he is a dangerous and powerful man who deserves such attention and more," Edwin said, "I am currently writing to the capital to request any information they might have on him, and ask for help".

"Don't forget to ask for an immortal" Gastrol jabbed with a smirk

"Yes am considering it" Edwin seriously said, his words wiping the smirk off Gastrol's face and making the room just a little bit colder.

"Is it that bad" a feminine voice sounded, its origin untraceable but none of the room's occupants were surprised by it.

"Our plan is to get the princess out of the city tonight, but if this man is after her, then our only option is to request the capital send an immortal because all of us combined won't be able to stop him".

"Do it" Gastrol solemnly said, all semblance of playfulness wiped off his face as he realized the severity of the situation, but just as Edwin's trembling hand moved the pen towards the paper, there was a knock on his door.

"It's an emergency my lord a voice sounded from behind the door".

"Come in," Edwin said, and when the soldier dressed in plain clothes bearing an eagle walked in, he ordered him to speak.

On entering, the man could only see Edwin, and not wasting a moment he began talking

"Captain Dilise just captured an invader and discreetly brought him over, she currently seeks your immediate presence," he said.

.....lots of minutes before.....

At this time, Seth was now walking in a street carrying a few litters and cracked ground.

From the time he had heard the bell sound which was a few minutes ago till now, Seth hadn't come across anybody, but just as he took a turn he come face to face with a group of soldiers.
