I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 617 The War End

The Eternal Kingdom is unlike the other kingdom. They could survive through the passage of time just by relying on their vast and deep foundation. It is also why they dare antagonize everyone without fear of repercussion.

Still, this deep heritage and foundation have limits. Fortunately, Mira is waking up from slumber now. Otherwise, their kingdom will crumble in less than a hundred years.

This is something that neither Vlad nor Darren want to see. The Eternal Kingdom is not only their home but also their master castle and palace. Unfortunately, Vlad and Darren have their lives bound to Mira.

When Mira goes into a deep slumber Vlad and Darren also slowly weaken. In the end, they are also forced to make a deep slumber like Mira.

Therefore, they couldn't pay attention to the Eternal kingdom all the time. They must leave this job to their descendant or the next Vampire King.

After talking to Angus and the others, Darren cut his finger slightly and let a drop of blood touch the ground. Suddenly, a complex magic diagram appeared and made bright light [5th Circle - Forced Summoning].

A moment later, a black-haired girl wearing a gothic-styled dress appeared from the magic circle. Finding that everyone was focusing on her, the black-haired girl couldn't help but step back nervously.

"Alright, this is Lenora. One of our Pureblood Vampires. Although timid and inexperienced, she is the only one worthy to serve Lady Mira, though it is barely." Darren introduced the black-haired woman.

"N-Nice to meet you. M-My name is Lenora Dracule." greeted Lenora shyly.

"Young Baron Angus, besides taking care of Master, you could also take care of her during my absence. As long as you didn't kill or prevent her from doing her job in serving Master, you could do anything to her." said Darren.

"Really?" asked Angus in surprise.

"*Sigh*… Honestly, I am quite disappointed with the current Pureblood generation. Lenora is the only one with good talent. Still, she is too timid. I hope you give her some real-world experience." said Darren with a smile.

Lenora, who heard this, couldn't help but tense and shuddered slightly. If it is not because of her heritage as Pureblood Vampire, she may try to run as far as possible from here.

"Sure. I will see what I can do. Lately, I seem to get a bunch of women under training. One more person is nothing." said Angus.

"Don't worry, she could take care of herself. I will also give appropriate rewards for this." said Darren.

After giving a few more words to Lenora and Angus, Darren disappears from his spot. Then, Angus and the others join Anna and Mira, who have already broken into the dining room.

While they have lunch, Jade orders his troops back to the fortress in a systematic manner. The first reason they are camping in Humnia Grassland this time is to divert King Andvari's attention and give Nergals another considerable blow.

Since these two targets have already been achieved, they no longer have any reason to stay in the Humnia Grassland. Although they win the battle, the soldiers are unsatisfied with their victory.

They know they only win this battle because of outsiders' interference. Moreover, Jade's sudden order to stop pursuing Nergal's remaining army left many dissatisfied among the troops.

They all stay and prepare in the Humnia Grassland for a long time. Yet, they couldn't give a significant blow to the Nergal with their own hand. They feel like all their effort is a waste of time and resources. Still, nobody dared to question Jade's order.

In fact, their feelings are not far from the truth. In this battle and war, the Heart Kingdom paid enormous amounts of money to increase their soldiers' combat capability. In return, they got no valuable resources but only significant losses and casualties from the battle.

Even the loot from the Udrary Kingdom could not cover their spending in their current military movement. It could be said King Leon indeed wasted his money in this battle without anything to gain.

Although the Heart will still get compensation from Nergal later, they know it cannot cover the loss. However, no one realizes this movement also dramatically impacts the Humane Region.

No one dares to mess up the Heart Kingdom and try to buy the Heart Kingdom's favor in the next few years. Compared to this, their slight loss is nothing.

Besides, the current Heart Kingdom has a bottomless pocket from the sale of Miasma Antidote, which is still in high demand. It's been years since Miasma Antidote entered the global market. Yet, the price kept increasing and showed no sign of going down.

Instead, the price is increasing at an alarming rate. At first, it will cost around 100 gold for a bottle of Miasma Antidote. Now, a single bottle will cost about a thousand gold. It will reach more than a few thousand gold coins when sold through the black market.

Compared with the production cost, which is less than a dozen gold coins, the Heart Kingdom indeed raked in a lot of money just from this sale.

Unfortunately, not everyone could realize this. Some people think this war and military movement is a waste of resources. Most of these people are greedy aristocrats that often stay deep in their territory.

These greedy nobles start to band together and plan to put some pressure on King Leon later. Unbeknown to them, King Leon had already predicted their movement and had a way to deal with it.

Currently, he is still inside the Jaagarmouth Stronghold and reads the current report from Jade's battle.

"I see… I guess this is for the best. We don't know what Andvari will do if we push him further." muttered King Leon.

King Leon knows King Andvari's current situation and feelings as he often felt them a dozen years ago. Compared to a dozen years ago, the present Heart Kingdom was like Heaven and Earth.

King Leon needs to be completely ready to sacrifice his life anytime just to give deterrence to other forces. Since no one ever wants to fight and provoke desperate seventh grade, they usually leave the Heart Kingdom alone.

This is also why a kingdom with a seventh-grade powerhouse only gets destroyed if its seventh-grade combatant dies.

While reading the report, King Leon notices two small black-haired girls peeking from the edge of his desk. The two girls stare at Leon intensely and give an eerie feeling.

"Hmm… I think we should go back to the capital now. Otherwise, this place will soon be full of bird shit." said King Leon.

During his stay at the Jaagarmouth Stronghold, the whole stronghold often gets pooped by birds in the sky. Many of King Leon's adjutants and Royal Knights suddenly slipped on the floor numerous times.

Many people in the stronghold also get minor accidents like hitting their toes on the furniture's legs or accidentally getting splatted by dirty water or poop.

When all these minor accidents happen, some high-grade people could notice small girls laughing or find the two creepy small girls staring at them.

Despite this, none of them could do anything to the twin girls since more misfortune and accidents happened whenever they tried to catch them.

The worst accident happened when a giant bird poop suddenly hit a knight from above. Not only does it injure the knight, but it also makes the knight's body stink. Even now, the stink is not gone despite already being bathed with perfume and soap.

Since then, no one dared to catch the two mischievous girls anymore. Moreover, they know the two girls come with King Leon and often stay on his shoulders.

After giving some instructions and orders, King Leon steps into the teleportation room and orders the staff to connect it with the capital city. Hearing this, the whole stronghold suddenly cheered loudly.

They even look happier than their complete victory against the Udrary kingdom. Some knights even cried on the spot and prayed to their gods.

Noticing all this behavior, King Leon could only glance at the two silent girls on his shoulders. In return, the two girls only tilted their heads in confusion at everyone's weird reaction.

Fortunately, they couldn't make any more mischievous accidental pranks since the teleportation platform was ready to use. King Leon didn't waste any time before stepping into the teleportation and disappearing along with the two girls on his shoulders.

Just a moment after King Leon and the twin girls go, the Jaagarmouth Stronghold is suddenly struck by a strange phenomenon. The whole fortress gets rained down by thousands of bird poop of various kinds. Later, the stronghold got another nickname Shitty Hold.

Meanwhile, Angus and the others can also return from the Windshire Fort. Unfortunately, their group contains one of the most dangerous beings in The Duchess Amberblaze still needs to accompany them through their journey back while Jade will take care of the border.

Unfortunately, many things still need to be done for the Duchess before she can return. Therefore, Angus' return is delayed once again.

A few days passed by since the end of the war. During this time, Angus and the others go through their routine without further accidents. The only notable event is when they discover Lenora's vampiric side when she drinks blood for nourishment.
