Who wants to learn sewing skills while dating?

"Will we really not be discovered?" More Henry was a little nervous. Today was the day when the Henry family and the Darius family were getting married, but the two protagonists ran away together. He wondered how chaotic the wedding scene would be now.

However, Moore's excitement was greater than her fear, because this might be her only chance to break free from her father's control and gain the freedom she wanted.

Darius watched the guards' movements while reassuring the girl, "It'll be alright. The city gate is just ahead. Let's be careful."

Darius had been secretly planning his escape for over a month. He knew he had to die if he didn't succeed. If he were married, Hester would be watching him constantly, making his escape even more unlikely. Today was a wedding, and the crowds were huge, making it the perfect opportunity to escape.

'Darius, you're already a big boy, you can do it.' Darius encouraged himself.

"The whole city is under martial law!!!" Suddenly, a group of people ran on the main road of Wuqiong City, holding weapons and crystal balls in their hands.

The leading knight shouted, "Search! His Majesty has ordered! Count Darius is missing. Anyone who can provide clues will be rewarded handsomely!"

The surrounding residents were a little frightened by the Knights' momentum and kept retreating, preparing to return home.

However, the knight's next words stopped them in their tracks: "This is a portrait of Count Darius. If you can provide any clues, His Majesty will reward you handsomely!"

After the knight finished speaking, he threw the crystal ball into the crowd. People were attracted by the "huge rewards" and rushed forward.

Inside the crystal ball was a clear image of Darius; even his slightly pale face was clearly visible.

Darius, who was hiding in the corner, couldn't help but tremble when he heard the word "Your Majesty", but he quickly calmed down.

He looked at the city gate that was so close, bit his lip, and finally decided to retreat back to the alley. The most important thing now was to avoid being discovered.

Darius and Mor said, "Let's find a place to hide first."

"Yeah." Although Moore was scared, he was still paying attention to the movements around him.

The two men hid in the alleys all the way, trying to find a place to avoid the pursuit for a while.

As the sun was about to set, the city gradually became darker. Not only did it become more difficult for the Knights to find people, but it was also difficult for Darius and the other two to hide.

The light was poor at night and they couldn't use any lighting, so they could only grope their way forward.

Suddenly, Moore noticed that there seemed to be a figure swaying at the end of the alley, and quickly pulled Darius beside him.

At this time, the two of them had just dodged all the way through the alley behind them. It was impossible to retreat. There was no place to hide or escape on either side of the alley. They probably had no choice but to give it a try.

"Humph!"

Darius was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him. He saw that the delicate Mor had completed the actions of covering his mouth and wiping his neck in the second when the knight poked his head out, without any delay at all.

Moore gently placed the body on the road so that the sound of the body falling would not attract others.

"Let's go!" Moore pulled the stunned Darius and quickly left the area.

Darius quickly regained his composure, found an unused chapel, and hid inside.

Darius loves playing hide-and-seek, and he's really good at hiding.

However, Darius’s hide-and-seek skills were great, but he couldn’t defeat the cheating players.

Darius also carefully disguised himself outside his hiding place. Unless the Knights were very sure that they were there, Darius was confident that they would never be discovered.

Both of them were exhausted and no one spoke. They rested inside for about an hour when they heard noises coming from outside. It must be the Knights who had searched here.

"The pointer shows that the count is nearby! Search him!" Darius still heard the voice of the Knights through the air vent.

"Pointer? What is that?" Darius didn't know.

But it didn't matter now, because he could hear the footsteps of the Knights getting closer and closer to him.

Darius felt a wave of despair.

"Hmm? The compass has changed direction, this way!" The knight holding the compass noticed the change of the needle, called on others to leave, and walked away from the church.

Before Darius and Mor could figure out what was happening, a girl's voice suddenly came from above their heads.

"Hello, are you Darius?"

------

When Chu Jun arrived at Wuqiong City, the city was in chaos, which was obviously much more chaotic than the one caused by Mo Heng.

The common people in the city had already fled the city, but the nobles were still staying in the city for unknown reasons.

"Aheng, let's go to the castle and take a look."

Chu Jun did not see any trace of Tiberius and others in the city, so he planned to go to the king's residence first, which might be where Hester performed the blood sacrifice.

Mo Heng brought Chu Jun all the way to the tallest castle in the city.

The castle's outer walls are made of solid granite, and they remain as strong as ever after years of baptism. The towering towers and spires gleam golden in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a crown bestowed by the gods.

Of course, this is just his appearance. From the entrance of the castle, you can clearly see traces of battle, including the use of cold weapons, magic and spells.

Chu Yun followed these traces and came to the basement of the castle.

This seems to be a secret room belonging to the royal family.

An altar made of smooth obsidian stood in the center of the room, surrounded by complex circles of magic.

A huge chandelier hangs above the altar, kept eternally bright by an unknown magical force.

The walls of the secret room are hung with heavy curtains, which sway gently in the weak air flow, adding a sense of mystery to the space.

Chu Jun only had time to notice the layers of blood covering the altar before his attention was drawn to the sound coming from deeper in the secret room.

"Darius, my dear, am I not good enough to you on a normal day? Now you are uniting these foreign tribes to deal with me."

Hester looked at the indifferent boy in front of him with a crazy expression.

Countless knights had fallen beside him, and the sacrificial ceremony had been ruined by them.

Facing the double siege of orcs and mermaids, Hester is at the end of her rope. The collapse of her "high-rise" is too fast and extremely absurd.

Maybe it's because the foundation is unstable.

Darius's expression didn't change at all because of Hester's words. He just murmured, "But I never had my own name."

She spoke in a low voice, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether she was talking to the man in front of her or to herself.

Darius recalled that since he was old enough to understand, the people around him only addressed him as "Master", "Little Master", "Sir"... "Darius".

The name "Darius" is like a brand. It is more of a code name than a name. It can be yourself or anyone with the same blood as you.

He has no name.

The knife came down and blood splattered all over the ground.
