Chapter 1301 The Alvette Family III
The old man was filled with anger, hearing that from an ignorant commoner was one thing, but he refused to accept it coming out from Noxcra's agent's mouth!
The bluish veins holding the sword hilt bulged, as he tried not to swing his sword towards this insolent young woman.
The old man growled softly, "Go before I cut your head for your insolence."
Lory let out a weary sigh as she scratched her head, honestly, she had no intention of infuriating the old man this badly. She admits she wants to tease him a little, unfortunately, her whimsical received unexpected backlash. Guessed Girsha is right, she does have a knack to pissed off other people.
But all joke aside, Lory was indeed moved by the old man displaying his unwavering loyalty to her family.
"The first gift of the Alvette for Princess Lorient during her coming aged ceremony was a gold carnation brooch and for Prince Lucas, it was golden handcuffs but unbeknownst to everyone it was actually a hidden weapon" Lory glanced at the shocked old man.
Therefore, Lory continued, "Carnation petals are actually sharp and thin objects that if released would be able to kill fifty people within a distance of three meters and Prince Lucas's cuffed was actually made from a special material that could be used like a string to choke or turn into a hard knife"
The old man's breathes quickened, his whole expression becoming stiff as he became full alert, "Who are you?" he sized Lory cautiously.
The relationship between the Alvette family and the Lucient family is very secretive, for the reason that as one of the famous weapons manufacturers, the Alvette family was able to attend the coming of age ceremony for the twins' heirs using a VIP invitation, therefore no one knows that the Alvette family secretly gave a special gift for the prince and princess after the ceremony is over.
Apart from the King and the Archknight, no one else knew about the gifts given let alone how the mechanism of the weapon.
There were only two possibilities that came to the old man's mind about how this woman find out about those present, one, she was a spy sent by the enemy, secondly, the Archknights sent this woman to his door for an unknown reason but the latter possibility was very small so he was more prone to the first one which was a spy.
The man looked at her intensely, "Tell me who sent you or keep quiet forever" The old man raised his sword ready at any moment to slash him. Lory knew he couldn't make the old man suffer any further because he had already proven his loyalty to the kingdom of Lucient and Harland.
"No one sent me, but the reason I know about the Alvette family's thoughtful gift, is because I have received it on my own," Lory combed her long hair, and as soon as the brown color in her hair faded and turned bluish, then she took off her contact lenses and her purplish eyes glittered under the lamp bright light"
The old man's hands trembled his eyes bulged widely, he was agape "Yo...you..."
Lory greets him with broad, and waves her hands awkwardly "Hellooo~"
All of a sudden, a pure rage rages from his very eyes "YOU DARE TO IMPERSONATED PRINCESS LORIENT!"
Lory blinks her purple eyes, "Eh?"
The man lunged at high speed. He raised the sword above his head and then plunged it straight into Lory's head, However, he was stunned, his sword was blocked by a thin but strong purple barrier covered with glowing runes and the woman's purple eyes shone like stars in the darkest night.
The sword fell from his hand the old man froze, he stared at Lory incredulously, soon after, tears trickled from her wrinkled eyes, and the man fell on one knee "Your...your higness" his voice sounded tight as he was strangled by shock and joy.
Lory retracted the shield, she stared at the old man who kneeled before her, shortly after she crouched down then patted the old man's trembling shoulder "I'm sorry for startled you"
The old man slowly lifts his gaze, he finally recognizes that face, how could he forget that face, he can only blame his old age.
"Princess Lorient..." he called the name with utmost reverence.
"What's your name, Eluite?" Lory asked.
The old man immediately fixed his position to be more presentable, he placed his left hand on his right chest and then answered courteously "My name is Hadius Alvette, Your Highness"
Lory slaps her knee and then stands on her feet, "Raised, Hadius Alvette. I'm gonna need your help"
The man rose to his feet while keeping his head low "It will be an honor, your highness"
Hadius' attitude reminded her of her position as a royal Princess and the responsibilities she carried, she realized how free her life was in the cultivator's world, however, she only felt melancholy for a second, for she knew there was much to be done to protect her beloved one.
"Aren't you going to ask where I've been or why I've only appeared now?" Lory said casually as he continued observing the collection of weapons in the room.
"It's doesn't matter, Your Highness what important is you are here now, and you came exactly when we needed you the most" Hadius's brusque behavior has replaced with a perfect gentlemanly manner.
Lory's movement halted, she looked at Hadius solemnly "There's something happened to Lucas right?"
Hadius's face grew somber "Yes, something terrible did indeed happen to King Lucas"
"What has happened?" Lory's eyes darkened.
Hadius shook his head "I don't know for sure but one day Fargo came to me asking to make mana sustentation"
Lory's face turned grim, "You don't say, is it for Lucas?"
"That's my guess," said Hadius, "I don't know for sure but it's understandable because everything related to the Lucient family is strictly guarded even the Archknight close family members wouldn't know much about it, therefore my only knowledge for sure is around my creation, what I can tell you my lady is that my creation is used to support a person's mana from draining out, it also helps to slow down the organs failure"
Lory reflexively grabbed the cupboard next to her so she lost strength in her legs, even though she had expected something bad to happen to Lucas, but she never thought it would be so terrible.

Your Majesty, are you okay? Hadius anxiously was about to hold Lory from Falling.
Lory raised her hand, "I'm fine, continue.." she urged the old man even though her face had gone deathly pale.
"My suspicious is coming from my deduction after a few words from Fargo and the news I heard from the media, it starts with news about the terrorist attack at King Lucas's villa when he attended an international convention in Braunwel, the news said there are few casualties on the terrorist side but it will take further investigation, but no one worry about King Lucas after all this is the man who succeeded in defeating Nazareth so how could she got injured by a mere terrorist attack hence, no one thinking too much about me but then King Lucas never show himself in public again other than appear in some news video or portrait that was taken by the press but he personally never appear in person again. At first, I didn't feel anything weird about it besides it's not like Lucient's king likes to parade himself in front of public eyes like any other ruler but when I got this order from Fargo Elkhandt, I realized there was a bigger problem boiling inside the Cestine Palace"
"Braunwel City, where is that place?" Lory stroked her forehead as she painstakingly tried to remain rational.
"Braunwel is a new city in Dolza, at that time they held a humanitarian convention to discuss how to spread aid throughout the world effectively," Hadius explained.
"That means Lucas' arrival must have been predicted but... it's impossible, with meticulous preparation from Fred, Fargo, and others, I don't believe someone could break into Lucas' residence so easily, let alone manage to hurt him" Lory bit her lower lips feeling frustrated.
"That means that Lucas's arrival must have been predicted but ... it is impossible, with the careful preparation of Fred, Fargo, and the others, I do not believe someone can enter Lucas's residence easily, let alone succeed in hurting him," Lory bit her lower lip felt frustrated.
"It also made me confused, but my suspicion was that it had to do with the organization S.A.I.N.T. You must already know that the woman called Saintess," said the old man in a degrading tone.
"Yes, I have seen what she can do, including those strange creatures called Bael," Lory squinted her eyes.
The old man's gaze deepens "Since the presence of Bael, the influence of the organization S.A.I.N.T. and The Saintess expanded, oh did you hear that Luxemborough will make the only weapon that can kill Bael with the help of blessing from The Saintess?"
"Are you not suspicious of where the original Bael is?" The man clearly indicates the conspiracy that is occurring.
Lory was not surprised because she also suspected that "I know, actually I was dealing with that Bael"
The man gasped "Are you fine, did you get hurt" he checked Lory's top down with a worried face.
Lory opens Her Arms and Laughs "You see for yourself"
Hadius sighed in relief "Ah, of course you are fine" he feels stupid, of course, his worry is unnecessary, after all this is Princess Lorient he is talking about.
"Anyway, the Bael that I encounter is different in sizes of ability and sizes, it's like the Bael just being upgraded somehow." Lory frown.
"That's what I'm afraid about, they were not natural but manufactured, with that thing around the world will have no choice but to rely on the S.A.I.N.T. organization and Luxemborough to vanquish the Bael" the old man's voice tense with fury.
"And what better time to start their plan when Harland's attention diverted elsewhere" darkness gathered in Lor's purple eyes.
