Chapter 605: The chaos has only just begun_2
"Why? Why, Mother?"
Tristan felt as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped on her, her mood rapidly cooling.
In her view, the human who was mistakenly identified as the prophesied child daring to ignore and escape the wedding with Mother should be captured, have their hands and feet cut off, and be turned into a dried human stick.
Yet Morgan insisted on capturing them alive, which was a bit of a letdown.
As Tristan thought so, and voiced her thoughts, Morgan simply gave her a look.
"I want them alive."
The repeated words, accompanied by a gaze as cold as Absolute Zero, drained all color from Tristan’s face.
"I, I understand! Please don’t be angry, Mother...!"
Not daring to anger Morgan further, Tristan quickly took the command, thinking of nothing else.
"Why won’t you let me go, Your Majesty?"
Woodworth, however, started to make a fuss.
"...Do you think I don’t need anyone to guard me here and want to leave me to go fight, Woodworth?"
Morgan’s stare at Woodworth was extremely cold and ruthless.
This made Woodworth shudder on the spot, shrinking back, unable to speak.
Only then did Morgan turn away.
"Go, do as I have said."
"I have already set up a magic barrier inside the palace; even he will not escape so easily."
"This time, I will not leave the Jade Throne Hall. This place cannot lose my guardianship in case of an invasion, do you understand?"
Morgan’s words naturally elicited a respectful response from all the fairies.
Morgan returned to the Jade Throne, overlooking the hall below that was in chaos and had turned into ruins, remaining silent for a long time.
After a while, a faint sigh came from the throne, but unfortunately, no one could hear it clearly.
...
At the same time, in one of the corridors of the palace, two people were rushing through here.
"Hurry! Let’s escape in the chaos!"
Altoria dragged Reiger along, running wildly, her urgent manner causing the one being pulled along to feel a mix of amusement and helplessness.
He wasn’t in a rush, allowing Altoria to pull him along, and curiously asked.
"Did you cause those explosions? How did you do it?"
After all, this was Camelot’s royal palace, heavily guarded. For Altoria to sneak in here was a feat in itself, and now she had even tampered with the Jade Throne Hall, causing a huge explosion and creating chaos, which was truly surprising for Reiger.
"Hehe," Altoria turned her head and smiled at Reiger, saying, "I didn’t do it, someone helped me."
To be more precise, Altoria had indeed made the bombs, but someone else had planted them near the Jade Throne Hall without being detected and had secretly brought Altoria into the palace.
This was the helper Altoria mentioned.
"Boom——"
Just as Reiger was about to ask something else, another explosion shook the entire palace.
This explosion did not come from the Jade Throne Hall but from another place.
Certainly, Altoria had not just had someone plant bombs near the Jade Throne Hall but had also placed bombs elsewhere, continuing to create chaos.
"Quick!" Altoria no longer mentioned the helper, seeing the situation growing more chaotic, she urgently said to Reiger: "Use your instant teleportation magic, let’s get out of here!"
Altoria’s plan was just like that, to sneak into the palace covertly, then use magic bombs to cause explosions, create chaos, and in the confusion, escape with Reiger.
As long as Reiger was out, using that instant teleportation magic, the two could successfully escape the palace, escape Camelot.
It must be said, Altoria was quite naïve.
"Do you think Morgan wouldn’t take precautions?" Reiger shook his head, saying: "She has already set up a magic barrier within the palace that can hinder spatial movement, so, we can’t use teleportation magic to escape."
"...Eh?" Altoria was suddenly stupefied.
A magic barrier that hinders spatial movement?
Morgan could use such magic?
"Didn’t you consider this at all?" Reiger was speechless and added: "Such things are not difficult for that witch, right?"
Morgan’s "Mirror" was a time and space transfer magic; it could control not only space but also time to a certain extent.
That is to say, spatial movement-based magical or magical spells were not so rare for Morgan; she could use them herself.
If Morgan could use this kind of magic, then how could she not have means to counter them?
Forget about hindering spatial movement, if that witch were to deploy the Unique Courtyard and completely isolate the world, at that time, Reiger wouldn’t be able to use a single spell, let alone teleportation magic.
"How, how can this be?"
Altoria was hugely shocked, not knowing whether to panic or what else.
Perhaps, the fairy girl had realized the disparity?
Both being magicians, with one being the false king from the prophecy and the other the true king, Altoria and Morgan were undoubtedly opposing entities, entirely incompatible existences.
If Altoria was to embark on the path of salvation, then her ultimate adversary would be Morgan.
Now, Morgan’s magic was astonishing, capable of sealing off even space, while Altoria could only create bombs with her magic. When compared, the disparity was like that of a high and mighty noble and a simple village girl from a remote countryside, one with sophisticated methods, the other utterly mediocre, a blow to one’s confidence that was to be expected.
