At any time, the palace is a symbol of an empire. Now the beautiful Femond Palace is destroyed, and Emperor Auston is dead and the light is gone. It is a time of panic. No matter what the considerations are, Lucia must stay in Coennas to stabilize the people’s hearts.
The empress needs to wait until the Son of God arrives in person before she can officially ascend the throne, but it is urgent to gather important officials and rectify state affairs. What followed was the huge project of rebuilding the palace. Every thing involved countless energy, but Donald couldn’t afford it.
The situation in the north is changing rapidly, and strong enemies are eyeing him, so he must react immediately. What’s more, as the most powerful grand duke of the empire, he would not be convenient for him to interfere in these matters of Coennas even in order to avoid suspicion.
The girl in her arms was still snuggling tightly against her and sobbed in a low voice. Donner could feel that this was when Lucia needed him the most.
This feeling only made Donner hesitate for a few seconds. After a few seconds, he looked at the direction of the sun and whispered, “I have to leave.” He thought Lucia would say something to keep her, or to be greedy for a moment in the end.
But Lucia’s reaction was beyond his expectations. She raised her head from Donner’s arms, looked at Donner with slightly swollen eyes, and whispered, “Be careful.” Her arm, which had just been hugging Donner tightly, gradually loosened.
Under the rising sun, Lucia’s face was like an angel who had just cried. Her gentle and sad but with a hint of firm eyes suddenly hit the softest part of Donald’s heart. It was not until this moment that after he left the magic continent, his heart that had been closed tightly opened a crack.
But he has to leave.
“I’m leaving…” Donner kissed Lucia gently on his forehead and looked down at her, “I will protect the empire in the north.”
After saying that, he turned resolutely and left along the ruins of the palace.
Lucia looked silently in the direction of Donner leaving until he disappeared from sight.
…
No one was outside Coennas, Donner ended Veronica’s life. He had only regrets and no sympathy for this woman.
Then he rode his horse in the direction of Mist City.
Late that night, in a remote village in Santan Province, Donner placed Rovinica’s child at the door of a farmhouse, took off the silk swaddle wrapped in the child, leaving only the naked child.
The child cried for a while after the cold, and the wooden door of the farmhouse quietly opened. The farmer saw the child on the ground and hurriedly picked it up. He turned around and shouted to the house. Another farmer came out, and the two of them hugged the child and looked around.
Donner left quietly when he saw this scene.
…
On the morning of November 1st, Donner returned to Mist Town before Wesley.
He went straight inGo to the villa in Shizhong and activate the sound transmission array connecting Natiya in the middle of the fog city.
“Donner…” A familiar voice came from the other end of the sound transmission array.
“Nati…” Donner was stunned for a moment before realizing that the voice was not Natia’s, and he said in confusion: “Cynthia? Didn’t you leave?” He clearly remembered that he had just sent Cynthia away half a month ago.
“I’m back again, just arrived last night.” Cynthia said, “Things have changed again.”
“I have some things to tell you here, so let’s talk to you in person. Come up, or me?” Donner asked.
“See you in the old place.” Cynthia answered very simply.
Half an hour later, Donner waited for Cynthia in the fields outside Mist Town. Unlike the previous few times, this time she was following the dwarf king Grunadda next to her.
“The giant Jesse has made moves.” Donner made it straight to the point.
Cynthia didn’t know Donner’s experience at Coennas, and was a little surprised that he was so well-informed. “How do you know?”
“They planned a coup in Coennas, and I happened to meet him.” Donner was not going to circle around Cynthia again, and said bluntly, “I have killed all the people who came this time, but I don’t know if they are still in Hulls. If anything, we have to hurry up and kill them, so as not to have a greater impact.”
