Chapter 493 It is for the Best
Grace island, Greece
Zion Dawson straightened up his back at the door when a Maserati pulled over on the porch. He descended the stairs and met the young man who exited the car.
"It's good to see you, George."
"Zion, thank you for having us."
"It's a pleasure to serve you, your excellency."
"Please, cut the formalities."
"You are right." Zion agreed.
Prince George Robertson ascended the stairs, following behind Zion. It was not the first time he was here. In fact, Zion's chateau is the European Knight's meeting place for an important discussion relating to the princess.
"Who was here, Zion?" asked George.
"Only central, western and southern Europe were here. The north and the east are in Russia to plan out their contribution to this mission. Mikhael hosted the meeting."
"Good. It's better this way."
"Brent and Mark are also preparing if the Empress needed them."
Brent Morris is the US Head of Knights, while Mark Baker is the Head of Canadian Knights.
"Alright. The more prepared we are, the better." George stated. "The Middle East Alliance is also on standby to send help."
Zion and George halted at the door. Zion's assistant, Lemuel, opened the door and closed it gently after the two men entered the room.
"Prince George…"
Every man in that room stood on their feet and greeted the Prince.
"Carry on, everyone. Let us begin the discussion immediately." George gestured his hand for everyone to take a seat. He was also seated in the chair Zion offered to him.
Seated in the main chair, George swept his gaze to the men in front of him. Everyone is waiting for him to speak up and open the discussion on how they could help the Empress.
"Although I am the Head of the European Knights, still the order will not come from me. Since there is no order sent out, we have to stay as low as possible. Regarding the emergency alert message, James has only mistakenly alerted us all. Even so, it's true that our Empress was truly in critical condition after her force delivery."
"What? Then the princes and princesses are?"
"Hailee's children were incubated and received thorough medication to survive." He may speak with a firm tone, but George only concealed his emotions. Thinking about the four innocent children wrenched his heart.
"They were born premature, and so they needed extensive care. Please don't let anyone know that Hailee has given birth already. The situation is chaotic because Vincent is still missing," George carried on.
"Do they need help or anything? Although Hector is our best doctor. If they need medical help, we will provide everything we have." Someone spoke from Central Europe.
"I understand everyone is ready to aid the princess. Our Royal Physicians are also willing to help if their expertise is needed. But the person who is a prodigy among the best doctors we know is Doctor Derek."
"That's right! Master Shun would not just sit around."
"Indeed. Doctor Williams is the man we need to save the Empress and her babies."
"I have no news of the Master's plan. Have any of you heard anything from the headquarters?"
"Master Shun works in silence. We all know that." Zion Dawson reminded them. "But those fu**ing bastards have my cousin Rob, and Carmen is…."
George patted Zion's back, conveying his sympathy.
"Zion is right." George concurred. "Master's Sun may have no words spread out throughout the Alliance. Because he wanted to be cautious, not for our enemy to know his plan."
"How about Andre? There are no words from him."
"He is in command now, right? Since Pitt is also severely injured."
George fell silent and did not respond to the fact that he could not reveal what was in Andre's mind.

ALLIANCE HQ, Italy
"Vincent and the others are preparing to leave the lodge for the airport." Daichi carried on his report.
"Pitt was checking the aircraft when a mini-missile fired the craft. Then, the explosion was followed by gunshots. The lodge was rained with bullets. In the initial report, Vincent is escaping with the other knights by the lake. There is a pursuit, but the boat they boarded also explodes."
"How about Rob?" asked Shun.
"They captive Rob as a shield. So they would not kill him but use him as a protection against the T Country Military. Samuel Miller knew he was going to face the Dawson family. The Prime Minister will chase his men until the world's end to save his grandson. However, Samuel Miller's men warn to kill Rob if someone will follow and try to apprehend them."
Shun narrowed his gaze as he listened to Daichi's report.
Even though they have all the forces and team to chase them, they cannot do anything if the condition is Rob's life. Even if Rob conveyed his message to drop a bomb on their current area, they could not just ignore that.
It is easy for him to find their location through ATHENA.
But with the threat, they have to stand by. Besides, Dylan and Rudolf haven't found Vincent yet. They were using his newly upgraded satellites. Unless?
'Could it be that Vincent is truly dead?' Shun clenched his jaw. 'Then it is just a matter of time that Hailee and I will be in a great war.'
Her—for transgressing the Law of the Alliance. She ignored the rules he implemented between territories.
'It looks like… After I confirmed that Vincent is dead… Maybe… Maybe it is best if I….'
Shun shook his head.
How dare he think this way?
Hailee is innocent. Why would he think of killing her while she was in a coma?
Someone from the back of his head is telling him.
'It is for the best. Don't you think?'
But…
He loves Hailee so much. She didn't do any wrong for him to think this way.
However,
Shun was stuck in the middle.
It is for the better. Yes.
However, he could not do that.
He could not allow himself to do such a thing that his children would hate him one day when someone revealed the truth.
'Allen! Could it be what happened in the future he came from?' Shun grabbed his head.
Did he come to that decision just to avoid the conflict between him and Hailee?
Is it better to…?
'What if?'
Can the future be changed entirely if he does that?

Lamandi Palace, V Country
A man wearing a custom-made black suit was satisfied reading the reports Samuel emailed him.
"Now let us see…."
The man who Samuel Miller called "Master" stood in the middle of the room.
Then, light surrounded him, and a luminous crystal ball appeared before him, and the soul inside changed its color.
"Ah… You are in great confusion at the moment. I can't wait to see what you will do next, Carlisle Williams. How entertaining! It is way more exciting than what I expect from you!"
Creepy laughter echoed in the hallway, and the palace guards shivered from horror listening to the man's laughter inside that room.
