Chapter 161: An Old Friend
But the elven soldiers who were following their King’s orders were not stopping. With their lances and their bows, they formed a formation around King Glarald, while some of the soldiers wielding swords walked at Freda and Ailwyn.
Theodus drew his arrow out of reflex and stood in front of his wife and son, in a protective instinct. Seeing the hundreds of soldiers to their front, Marcus drew his sword. Arioch walked closer to Alexandra, with his hands holding the hilt of his sword. He didn’t draw his sword out yet, but he was prepared.
"We cannot start a fight here, Alexandra. We have to discuss our plans," Arioch whispered in her ears. He was ashamed King Glarald singled him out to not enter the forest, but he needs to find out if the elves would be willing to join him.
He wanted to know why Maximillian and Alexandra made plans to join hands with the elves in their past life. And he knows, fighting for Theodus will not get them on the favorable side of the King of Elves and it would become a wasted opportunity.
"And show out a weakness?" Alexandra smirked and touched her ring. The Hashomer appeared in its true form in its glory in her hand.
"I bow to no one. I’ll show you," she smirked at Arioch, and walked to the front, blocking the soldiers running at Freda and Ailwyn to capture them.
"You shall have to pass through me, if you are going to get them," Alexandra raised her sword.
The soldiers didn’t care for her and her sword and they paced forward. King Glarald didn’t seem pleased that Alexandra drew her sword, taking the side of Theodus. And he was impressed at the same time. She is not traitorous as her past life. In the past life, she didn’t even bother to stop and offer help to Theodus after he was exiled. With just a ’sorry’ to his face, that would do nothing, she left with that guy.
But this time, she is more assertive than he always knows her to be. He heard the news of the monsters being set free and the news he heard were all about how Alexandra is fixing her past.
But she is still naïve if she is with this guy. If he is manipulating her still...
As everyone got tensed and a fight was about to break out, Alexandra sensed a disturbance in the magic plane. Someone with powerful mana is making an appearance.
She checked the Choshech Orb to see if there is any leakage and if it might be Inanis. But the Choshech Orb was secure. Others sensed that too and everyone paused at the bright white light forming under a tree.
