Chapter 315: Ena Thun's Arrival

Ena Thun smiled when she saw the brutal and chaotic spectacle that she expected to see. She held her hand up and raised her chin and a smug smirk appeared on her face. "Announce our arrival!" she spoke. The heroes have arrived.

The humans are currently fighting against beasts and—

"Her Blessedness! It seems that we are too late!" one of Ena's warriors interrupted her stupor.

Ena immediately frowned."What?"

"The war is over."

"What?" Ena looked at the chaos again and noticed that… "What are they doing?"

"They are helping the wounded and gathering the bodies of those who have fallen."

"Where did the beasts go?" Ena asked, confused. She recalled telling her spies to put the relic everywhere in the encampment. The timing of their arrival should have been perfect! Around this time, they should have… they should have almost lost the fight.

"Your Blessedness, I already informed the Prince of Rakha that we were here and he is on his way to welcome us."

"You—" Ena did not know what to say. "Was it the Duke?"

"Your Blessedness— "

"Your Blessedness Ena Thun!" Lachlan Blaize's voice interrupted her stupor. The latter welcomed her with a huge smile on his face. Next to him were Prince Lyssander and Princess Isadora of the Rakha Kingdom.

"Your Blessedness…" the prince and princess greeted.

"Your Highnesses…" she greeted back as she tried to stop herself from sending a bolt of lightning to Lachlan Blaize.

"What brings you here, Your Blessedness?" Lachlan asked, the same patronizing voice laced his tone. Ena always hated it. The Blaize family always saw themselves as more powerful than the rest because they could wield a strong element with very powerful attacking abilities.

Fire could easily kill beasts and this was the reason why the Blaize family always felt as if they were superior to everyone else. Because of this, the other families did not want to associate themselves with the likes of Lachlan Blaize. josei

"I came to help Rakha. Is there any other reason why I would visit this place?"

"I thought you came here to help our people heal the wounded and gather the dead? As you can see, the beasts are dead. When they saw that we were winning, they just had to run away. Or… are you perhaps here to collect the dead beasts? Ah, you really are someone who lacks proper decorum and propriety. How could someone be so shameless!?"

"You—" Ena Thun's face reddened. "How dare you utter such nonsense in front of me!? The Rakha Family sent letters to each of the Blessed families. Naturally, we came to answer those letters."

"Didn't they send the letters a week ago? Miss Thun's reasoning is not right. I cannot help but feel a deep sense of disappointment toward the other members of the Blessed Families for not coming to Rakha's aid. Tell me, was it because Rakha refused to give you what you need!?"

"Shut your mouth Blaize or I will shut it myself!"

"Oh? Are you challenging me to a duel? Come… I have not killed enough beasts! I want to use my abilities on someone who could at least avoid my sword. Come let us fight!"

"You lunatic!"

"Your Blessedness… please let us calm down." Prince Lyssander intervened after staying on his horse awkwardly. "Please, Your Blessedness Ena, please follow us to the camp. The damage this time was a lot. If the beasts would come again, we would have no way to fight against it. I would like to thank you for coming and helping us. Please follow me." Prince Lyssander bowed and led the group inside the encampment.

The moment Ena entered the encampment, she immediately felt that something was wrong. Everyone else seemed… happy. They were celebrating.

She expected to see corpses— piles of corpses on the ground yet from what she could see, there were only a few of them around.

Did something happen?

Was it the Duke?

"Your Highness… " General Darian greeted the prince. "We have about thirty- five wounded mercenaries and twenty wounded soldiers. There were only seven who are in critical condition, the rest are alive and well. Unfortunately, we have more than twenty deaths, most of them were mercenaries."

"Thank you General, make sure to compensate their families and give them the token for free healthcare and education for their families. As for the ones in critical condition, send them to the capital. Send a letter to father to prepare a warm welcome for everyone. We are going to get back after making sure that the beasts are never coming back."

"Of course, Your Highness." With that, Darian left.

"Everyone seems to be celebrating the fact that you won," Ena could not help but comment.

"We were hopeful that the beasts would not come back after they… ran away."

"Ran away?"

"Yes, Your Blessedness. When we killed the demonic beasts that came along with them, the beasts started running away. It seemed that we had killed the one who was leading them."

"Is that so?"

"You seemed disappointed, Thun," Lachlan snorted. "Was it because of the fact that now, no one would call you and your party the hero?"

"Shut your mouth."

"Why? Did the truth hurt? Hahahaha! You see? Miss Thun only arrived when the fight was over." Lachlan's voice was too loud, and it attracted the attention of everyone around them. "Do you think she is here to ask for some tribute from the Rakha Kingdom? Perhaps, she wanted to have some of the beast's parts. Hey, Thun are you that desperate for money? Why would you try to rob them from their beasts?"

"Shut your mouth Lachlan or I—"

"Oh? You are finally going to fight me? Hehehe… why don't we fight now and show everyone who is really stronger, huh?"

"You—"

"Your Blessedness Lachlan, please calm down. Her Blessedness is not here for that. She is here to help us." Prince Lyssander's voice was so kind and soft, but instead of making Ena good, it only made her feel more irritated. She could not help but think that Prince Lyssander knew something!
