TCF2 - 2

Ash-colored light was shooting up to the clear sky.

“Let’s go.”

Alberu stepped off the roof without any hesitation. Mana was roaring around him.

“Mm.”

Alberu turned his head.

- Hey crown prince! I’ll take care of all the magic! You just do whatever you feel like doing!

Alberu was about to use flight magic but Raon was one step ahead of him and got everybody into the air. He thanked toward an empty spot in the air and started moving toward the King's Palace.

“Identify yourselves!”

Someone shot up into the air at that moment.

It was a royal mage.

“Y, your highness!”

He recognized Alberu, Cale, and Choi Han and urgently rushed over. The mage seemed happy to see them although there was an indescribable sense of misery and guilt on his face.

The Roan Kingdom's capital.

The King's Palace, which was located at the center of the Roan kingdom's royal palace, was completely destroyed.

This made no sense at all.

“I'm sorry, your highness.”

“Report in first.”

Alberu slightly flinched at Alberu's calm demeanor before starting his report as they all moved toward the King's Palace.

“There was a continuous chain of large explosions before all the pillars crumbled instantly and the King's Palace fell.”

“Ah.”

Choi Han gasped. All of the pillars in the King's Palace broke at the same time. He knew what that meant.

Alberu opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally commenting.

“...I guess not many people would have managed to evacuate.”

“...We are currently looking for and rescuing missing people and gathering the corpses.”

In addition to the guards, there were a lot of people, such as attendants and individuals in charge of many things, working in the King's Palace. This palace had a lot more people than the other palaces as this was where the king resided.

Cale looked down and inspected the area.

“There were no signs at all?”

Alberu asked in a dry voice and the mage quickly stated the things he knew.

“The Magic Department detected a strong mana fluctuation as soon as we heard the explosions, your highness. However, we did not detect any signs of magic anywhere, including the palace’s defensive walls, before or after that.”

There were no screams coming from the palace right now.

People were gathered in groups urgently moving around.

“Anything aside from the magical signs?”

“Young lady Orsena requested an audience with his Majesty in the King's Palace one hour prior to the explosion.”

"And?”

“The King's Palace crumbled immediately after young lady Orsena left.”

"And?”

“Young lady Orsena is now missing.”

Alberu turned his head to observe the mage.

“...Nobody was keeping an eye on her?”

The heir of a Duchy had visited the royal palace.”

“We had people watching her, your highness.”

“But?”

“They said that she suddenly disappeared.”

Alberu’s eyebrows slightly rose up and Cale turned to look at the mage.

The mage gulped before continuing on.

“It was not magic, your highness.”

“It was not magic but she teleported?”

“Yes, your highness.”

Cale had seen someone teleport without using magic before.

During the Sloth test when he was facing the illusions in the sealed god’s temple... Cale and Choi Jung Gun had met the Hunters, Jung Yi-Rang and Park So Jin.

‘Take this offering of karma.’

Hunter Jung Yi-Rang had disappeared instantly even though no magic was used.

“How did she teleport?”

"That is something I do not know-”

This mage did not have much authority.

Alberu looked down.

“I guess I can hear about it down there.”

Alberu made eye contact with the second prince.
