Chapter 379: Chapter 379 – Kaki City

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

From how Chen Heng saw it, if Mary wanted to become an Apprentice Sorcerer, it would still take her a few months.

Even if she could do this, what use would an Apprentice Sorcerer be to Chen Heng?

On the other hand, their enemies would be quickly getting stronger.

As such, time was not on their side.

Mary thought about it for a moment before quickly understanding.

“I understand…” She looked at Chen Heng and nodded, “Let’s set out tomorrow then.”

Chen Heng nodded and turned and left.

The next day, they set out.

This time, Chen Heng did not bring all of his soldiers—there was no need for this.

They only brought a force of 500 people, including Herdosiri and Raku.

As for Lamu, he stayed behind to defend the Hatim Territory.

From the Hatim Territory to Kaki was quite a long journey.

After half a month, they finally arrived at their destination.

When they arrived at a plains and could see the city in the distance, some Knights appeared from the surroundings.

The people responsible for receiving them had also arrived.

“Looks like His Majesty already knew of us coming…” Chen Heng said as he looked ahead calmly.

“Yes…” Mary nodded and said softly.

There was no way of avoiding this—on the way, they had been seen by many people.

Even if Karim was blind, he would know of their arrival.

“Viscount Hatim, Your Highness Mary, please come with me.” The Knight responsible for receiving them looked respectful as he led them into the city.

Chen Heng had come to Kaki in the past, and his impression of it had been quite good. Even though it was not as prosperous as other places he had been, it had been quite orderly.

However, now, there seemed to be less people, and there seemed to be a tense atmosphere throughout.

It seemed that over the past few years, much had changed in Kaki.

After entering the city, Chen Heng soon came to his courtyard.

As a Viscount, even though Chen Heng rarely came to kaki, he still had his own residence here.

However, there was a problem for Mary—she was the Princess, Karim’s daughter.

According to the rules, after returning to Kaki, she naturally should go to the palace.

However, Mary knew that the palace was not a good place for her to go right now.

After all, Karim seemed to have been controlled by someone.

“It’s fine.” Looking at Mary and sensing her unease, Chen Heng nodded and said, “If there is any danger, I will immediately arrive.”

“I understand.” Hearing Chen Heng’s words, Mary felt some relief.

“I’ll give this pendant to Your Highness.”

By the side, Herdosiri respectfully walked over and presented a wooden box to mary.

Within the box was a golden pendant.

It looked quite beautiful and had many inscriptions, and looking at the pendant, Mary smiled and directly put it on.

“Thank you for your present, I like it a lot.” Mary smiled and said.

Following this, she departed with Orimo.

This Court Knight was very loyal to Mary, and would also protect her by her side.

This time, he also went in to protect Mary.

Standing there, Chen Heng watched as Mary departed before silently walking in to his residence.

“They’ve come?” Within a hall in the palace, Kamo raised his head and looked at the black-robed elder as he said calmly.

“Indeed.” The black-robed elder nodded, “Mary has come by herself, and will soon arrive before you. Should we act?”

Before, they had thought that Chen Heng and Mary would refuse this summons, and did not expect that they would directly agree.

In fact, they had even split up, making it even easier to capture them.

After all, compared to Chen Heng, Mary was completely helpless and did not have much strength.

As for her Knight, Orimo, he was not a big deal either.

Hearing the black-robed elder’s words, Kamo lowerd his head and thought to himself.

He was quite surprised towards Chen Heng and Mary’s decision.

If it was him, he most likely would have escaped the Kalo Kingdom.

After all, the Dusk Church’s people could not stay in the Kalo Kingdom foreer, and would leave sooner or later.

Whnen that time came, they could return to the Kalo Kingdom.

That seemed to be the safest and most beneficial route.

however, they had chosen to come to Kaki, which was quite surprising.

“Could it be that he is so confident in his power, which is why he came?” Kamo thought to himself.

“Let Mary come in.” He said, “We don’t need to act yet. The ones who want to capture her are not us, and has nothing to do with us. If the Dusk Church wants Mary, they can act themselves.”

“I understand.” The black-robed elder nodded.

Following this, a figure slowly walked in.

It was a beautiful woman in a long dress, and she gave of an irresistible charm—it was Karim’s daughter, Mary.

She had finally returned to this familiar palace and met her father again.

“Long time no see, my father.” Looking at Kamo, Mary smiled and bowed.

“Indeed, it has been a long time.” Kamo sat in his seat and fell silent for a while before smiling and saying, “By now, it has been about half a year… during this half a year, you have been avoiding me.”

“I had no choice…” Mary walked forwareds to Kamo and said, “If I didn’t do this, I might not have been able to return to see you.”

“But you still came back.” Kamo lookeda t Mary in interest as he smiled, “Why is that?”

“What do you think?” Mary smiled before changing the topic, “I am a bit tired after returning from the Hatim Territory. Is it alright if I go and rest?”

“Go.” Kamo’s expression did not change as he spoke calmly.

Mary nodded and bowed before leaving this place, leaving Kamo by himself.

Sitting on his seat and watching Mary leave, he frowned.

“Why…” Just then, he had sensed a massive aura on Mary that he had not noticed before.

After half a year, her mental mark had become much stronger, and seemed to be making progress towards being a Sorcerer.

However, just this was far from enough to resist him.

So where did her confidence come from?

Kamo could not help but feel confused.

However, this did not matter—others would deal with this.

Now that Mary and Chen Heng had come to Kaki, his task was complete.

Soon, Mary returned to her residence.

It had been half a year since she had come here, and nothing much had changed.

After arriving, she sensed a strange feeling from a certain direction.

It was as if there was some person hiding there and observing her.

However, it was just for a brief moment, as if she was imagining things.

however, if she really thought that, she would not be alive until now.

“How are my brothers?” Mary turned and looked at Orimo as she asked.

Mary was a Princess, but was not Karim’s only child; she had many older brothers and sisters. It was just that compared to her, most of them were not as famous.

“Their Highnesses are still within Kaki.” Orimo said, “But in recent times, a pestilence has spread, and the Second Prince and Third Prince have fallen ill.”

“Pestilence…” Mary frowned, feeling that there was something off, but did not say anything.

This world’s hygiene was not too good, and it was easy for some illnesses to become big problems.

However, this was not too bad for royals and nobles.

After all, this world had Priests.

Priests had all kinds of divine skills, and as long as the illness was not too severe, they would be able to heal them.

As such, the fact that Princes had fallen ill to a pestilence was no small matter.

“Did the city’s Priests check on them?” Mary asked.

“Some people went to treat them, but they did not recover much, and are still resting.”

Ormi thought for a moment before saying, “Of course, these are just rumours, and I’m not sure abou the exact situation. Perhaps they are already fine, but are just unwilling to come to the palace.”

This was also a possibility.

After all, if it was Mary, she would not want to see Karim regularly either.

Perhaps feigning illness was just an excuse.

Of course, it was possible that these two Princes had already been captured, which was why they had not been seen in a while.

Thinking there, Mary thought to herself before saying, “Send some people to go and visit them; I will visit them in two days.”

“Yes.” Orimo nodded respectfully.

Following this, he walked out.

After Orimo left, Maryw as left by herself.

Of course, there were some servants around, but there were not any familiar faces.

In that moment, she felt quite lonely.

Thinking to there, she gave a bitter smile but shook her head.

Elsewhere, Chen Heng stood within his manor, looking into the distance.

“Such strong bloody aura…” A slight breeze blew against his face.

For ordinary people, this was good weather, but to Chen Heng, this city’s atmosphere was not good at all.

Dense bloody aura came from outside; it looked like it was hidden well, but with Chen Heng’s senses, it was extremely clear.

Who knew how many people had died in the city to create such a clear smell?

Through his sharp mental energy, Chen Heng could also hear howls from the distance.

Those howls were extremely terrifying, sounding like people being tortured.. Even after dying, they were unable to be at rest.
