Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The massacre that was expected to cause a great fear over the royal families of Shansa did not take place . The talents that Alice had recruited in Moro Province and Yellowstone Province had been put to good use . With the help of the soldiers of Shansa, under Kumaraghosha's command, they patrolled the area, suppressed the riots, and brought assurance to the people . When it was dawn, Diamond City had resumed its peace .

What Alice had experienced was similar to the experience of Granden from the Maho Empire . Alice had entered into politics when she was young, and Granden had become an inspector when he was a teenager . However, being an inspector was only a role in name . The power was still in the hands of the Chief Commander . Alice frequently made public appearances and got along well with people from all trades . She was more mature than Granden .

Alice had no problem maintaining the normal operations of the city . As for the ministers of her predecessor, she was well aware of the ones whom she could keep, and whom she had to eliminate .

No one could sleep this night . Baery had to supervise and re-organize those new soldiers of the Shansa Empire . They did not have strong combat force, but there were many of them . Saul, Steger, and Douminge were searching for the remnants who might create trouble . Bruzuryano and Mauso were in charge of the reinforcements . They had become fire fighters . They would be deployed to wherever there was danger . Even the high priest, Stan, and the Knights of the Light had been assigned duties . No one would do a better job than them in reassuring the people . Regardless of the conduct of the individuals, in the eyes of the people, they were upright and kind .

Outside the Palace, Kumaraghosha held his sword and looked back . Anfey nodded his head lightly, and Kumaraghosha turned around and wielded his sword . A sword ray blew open the magnificent door, and Kumaraghosha took the lead and dashed in .

In any political governance, there would be lots of ambivalence, including fights . If they were working toward a common goal, it would be easy to work things out . However, to remove the estrangement among them, it would be impossible! As long as people were involved, there would be ambivalence . Kumaraghosha had led the soldiers in surrounding the Palace, as he had his own agenda .

If Diamond City was the icon of the Shansa Empire, the Palace would be the icon of Diamond City . Behind the magnificent door, was the accumulation of years of wealth of the Empire, and many other things . Kumaraghosha did not want the place to be looted! Moreover, he had one more motive . He wanted to take revenge for his family, who had died terrible deaths! However, Edward VIII was Alice's father, so he felt uneasy . After gaining the approval of Anfey, he finally made up his mind .

However, Kumaraghosha had measured the stature of great men by his small yardstick . A talent remained only a talent . Kumaraghosha was merely a talent . As there were no better choices, he had taken up the responsibility as a vanguard . Baery was a renowned Marshal . The soldiers in the Maho Empire had not stepped into the inner city, so Baery had given Alice and Kumaraghosha free play .

"I was expecting bloodshed . " Stan stopped behind Anfey . He said softly, "This is so unexpected . Yolanthe is indeed a benevolent king!"

"His Majesty is magnanimous," Anfey casually replied, going along with Stan . Anyway, the one being complimented was not around .

"But…not many people know about his benevolence . What they are feeling right now is only fear . Warner, let the people forget about their hatred for one another!"

"Yes, Sir . " Warner replied, but he was looking at Anfey .

Warner had been under the mentorship of Stan . His look and dressing were becoming more and more like a priest . However, he felt a bit uneasy when Anfey was around . Anfey winked at Ye and said with a smile, "Warner, go ahead and show me what you have learned . "

Ye immediately took the hint and whispered to a mercenary . The mercenary then went to look for Blavi . Edy, who was leisurely sitting with the mercenaries, was looking at what was happening at the front . Suddenly, a magic shield was in the sky and covered him . Edy was taken by surprise and said, "Sir Blavi, what is this…"

Blavi rolled his eyes, he could not be bothered with Edy . He did not have a good impression of Edy, but since they were of The League of Mercenaries, he had to give him a helping hand .

"God protects His people…" As Warner chanted, he flew up to the sky . He looked pious . As he lifted up his hands, a bright light rose from his palms . As the light got brighter, the beams got bigger . It engulfed Warner, who was dozens of meters below it . In the end, a soundless explosion took place . The huge beams rained down and covered Diamond City .

The Book of Life, which had been enlarged thousands of times, stayed in the air . The shape of the book, and even the tiny words written on the pages, could be clearly seen . As the pages were being flipped, chanting sounds came from the sky .

"Warner has improved tremendously . " Anfey was impressed . Light rained down within the range of his senses . He had not expected Warner to have such magic powers . It was impressive .

"He has great potential . It was a pity that he did not make good use of his time previously," Stan said with a smile . He then added, "The Book of Life has been a great help to him . "

Anfey was silent . Warner could breakthrough, because he had received the Heart of Nature . Since Warner had the help of The Book of Life, it was not a surprise for him to achieve such great advancement .

To the top level powers, like Anfey, rains of light were simply the energies of the light element . They had strong willpower, and they would not be affected by it . However, to the men on the street, rains of light were filled with peace, making one feel warm and safe .

The two contradictory magics of light and darkness could easily touch the hearts of the people . Some would open up their windows to receive the blessings, and for those who were braver, they would run down the streets . The warriors, who were holding onto their weapons, were affected as well . They looked excited . After the excitement, they just looked blankly at the sky .

Although Kumaraghosha was not as powerful as Anfey, the hatred within him was so deep that he was not affected by it . He looked up at the sky and sneered . After kicking the soldier who was staring blankly in front of him, Kumaraghosha shouted, "Search around! Why are you in a daze?" The soldiers then regained consciousness, rushing forward in different directions .

Warner slowly landed on the ground . Other than the treatment that the people had received, the magic that he had released would not have any other effect on the people . However, the impact that he had created was significant . The soldiers of Shansa and the mercenaries were looking at Warner differently . The mercenaries used to look down on Warner . He had been enduring the shame and trying to please the people around him . However, after the conversation with Anfey, his attitude changed and became tough . The mercenaries had thought that Warner got into Anfey's good graces by bootlicking . Outwardly, they appeared to respect him, but inwardly, they despised him even more . This day, Warner had gained the acceptance of the people with his own ability .

"Sir Stan, you should have been the one to release the magic," Anfey suddenly said softly . Stan smiled . He was smart enough to catch the sarcasm in Anfey's words . "Sir Anfey, I am different from Slanbrea . I like to be frank . The entire continent has changed completely . If I wish to pass down my teachings, I need to change my approach as well . "

"Oh?"

"You can say that there are two paths before us . One is the old school one, which is to hold on to power and status . The other is to take a step backward and assist in consolidating the royal power . Do you understand what I mean?"

"You have chosen the latter?"

"Yes . I do not want to take any risk . Even the two country bumpkins, Mauso and Bruzuryano, who have been wandering in the forest, know what to do . We should be smarter than them . "

Stan looked at Warner and said, "From now on, Warner is qualified to set up a hall in Diamond City . As long as Yolanthe is around, Sir Alice's position will not be threatened . With Warner's help, …hahaha . Sir Anfey, I sincerely wish to assist you . "

"Thank you," Anfey said with a smile . Stan and Slanbrea were indeed different . It was not that Stan had higher moral character, but he was very open, preferring to thrash things out . As to what he would do if he could not come to an agreement with the other party, that would be another question .

It seemed that Kumaraghosha must have encountered resistance, as there was a loud battle cry in the Palace . Anfey suddenly remembered something and said, "Sir Stan, I need your help . "

"What is it? Tell me . "

"Alice and I…are partners . I do not want to stain my hands with the blood of her father or family . These mercenaries must not get involved either," Anfey said softly, "Can you help us settle these before Kumaraghosha strikes?"

Stan was stunned for a while, and then smiled wryly and said, "This is not an easy task . I will offend…" Yolanthe judged his men by their talents . He was very pleased with Alice's recent performance, as she had met his expectations . Her position could not be shaken . No one would want to offend her .

"Please . " Anfey begged him .
