Chapter 45

**Tzalmon Point of View**

My lips curved upwards slightly as I watched Eblilis creating the play. I must say, her strategy was simple yet effective.

Not to mention, she made everything seems so natural that no one can point it out that she is the one who created the whole chaos.

With one battle she got both, people and their loyalty.

I know she has an ambition, however, what it is I'm still unaware of it.

These days, I've left the official matters of the kingdom to my trusted aid and followed Eblilis and my son in my invisible form just to make sure they get to their destination without any accident.

There are several who are greatly powered and can wreck havoc with a snap of fingers. Although she has the pendent that covers her human characteristic and gives of a scent of normal Dr'helellis person, she is still a human with no strength to defend herself.

However, it was good I followed suit or else I wouldn't have know that this woman has a passable brain.

Normally, women are supposed to look after the internal affairs of a household and their upmost priority is to look after their man and offspring. They are to take care of their body so they could please men.

Women are born with natural deficiency in brain activities. Looking at how Eblilis was handling the matter, I seem to understand why she wants to go on a long road journey.

She was a little smart; still, she is just a human woman.

"She is wicked. Refreshing." I mumbled to myself as I followed the group.

Eblilis and her crew has settled the black cobra gang matter a day ago and resumed their journey towards their initial destination.

Of course, the battle was won by the black cobra gang with the help of Eelk and his team. By the end of it, Hildir, the leader of the gang was too overwhelmed by support that the whole gang vowed their absolute devotion unanimously.

This time, it was sincere.

After getting what she wanted, she decided to resume their trip the next morning. All along the quite carriage trip, she closed her eyes and every now and then smile to herself.

Devil knows what is going on in her brain!

On the way to Oudad capital city, she made deals with few more gangs and influential families in similar way of plotting against them and helping them in the last moment like a kind hearted goddess.

Oudad, although is a huge province, the territory hold lesser residents than any other province. The reasons being; one, it is more like a tourist spot but bordered with several mountains, making hard to get in and out of region.

Two, Oudad has highest number of outlaws. Although they do not go blindly after regular citizens, they are still vicious and overboard.

Three, several local families moved to other regions all because Oudad was always filled with tourists, even from other kingdoms. Many accidents take place most of the time when several powerful clans people assemble in one place.

It is not like I cannot control it; being the topmost must visit place of two hundred realms, these vicious outlaws are right people to put the tourists in their limits and because of this fear, no matter from what race and what kingdom they come from, they don't blindly do as they please.

Now, seeing how Eblilis has been taking charge of these outlaws and influential families, no doubt a change is ought to occur soon.

"Majesty, they should be reaching Oudad capital city, Oriamont, by early hours of evening. How do you wish me to proceed?" Gyles voiced out politely.

These few days, Gyles was much more polite when he was looking at Eblilis. There was no doubt that he was a little apprehensive about his future queen after seeing how she can play out scenes as she wished.

I can tell that he no longer has the previous chunk of disdain towards her and was more respectful towards her; might it be because of her recent adventures or because he was a little scared of being manipulated by her in the same manner.

"Hmm, what happened to the matter regarding Zoxade stone?"

"The Zoxade stone is buried in the backyard lawn of the castle. With your barrier shield, the power of the stone will be activated and they - those scums will never be able to creep inside." There was so much despise when he spoke about 'those scums'.

Rightly so, he should. So do I!

"But Majesty, the curse now been lifted and that lot of scums would still need time to recover their past strength. If they were wise, they wouldn't walk into tiger's den with a rabbit might." I gritted my teeth and produced a deep scowl.

Those scums... I need to wipe away their existence as soon as possible. Otherwise Eblilis -

"They could be many things but wise, they never were. The moment the curse was lifted, I'm certain several of them already entered the kingdom as spies. One of the reasons Acacia is sent to Oudad was that with so many foreigners in the kingdom, she would not gain much attention. Alas, whoever thought that she would go around making alliances and put herself in the centre of attention?"

"Majesty is right in driving her away from the capital city. She would be found out easily if she were to stay with you. Oudad is indeed a better place for her for now."

Acacia Dawn Winters is the most important person for the kingdom and she shouldn't be compromised no matter what.

She should not get into their hold. Never.

"Did you receive information from our spies?" I growled out lowly. Just a mere thought of those scums makes my blood boil.

"Only from the spies sent to the limitation grounds of their territory. Apparently, there was a rumor that a ritual shall be held soon to achieve their previous positioning back."

"A ritual, you say?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. However, there is no such ritual that we know off. Even the ancient records never showed any such ritual. I wonder where they got such custom from." Although Gyles doesn't know the source, I do.

There is indeed no such ritual but in centuries of being bound by the curse, they sure did not pass the time as pitiful prisoners. The ritual he was talking about is something they had come up with after studying for a centuries.

If my guess is right, then Eblilis is the key for the ritual to be successful!

After all, she didn't lift the curse of my kingdom but theirs too.

Both the races are interlinked and Eblilis is the common platform for everyone. Eblilis should not be taken away by them.

"Inform commander Eelk to prepare a dozen more guards around Eblilis and the young prince. The duo should be their top priority and should be vigilant like a hawk. Speaking of hawk, Azar has been back for some time. Send him to Acacia's side again." Nodding back, Gyles took the command and went off to do the task.

While Gyles went off to take charge of my orders, I followed Eblilis into Oriamont city. The carriage and the security moved towards the high plains of the city where a new castle was built for Eblilis and Igses.

The city is bustling with local and foreign citizens as usual. Several merchants were crying out the deals of the day loudly to attract the customers while the latter bought them with gold and silver coins.

The carriage slowly crossed the busy lanes and travelled to the high plains of the resident area. I noticed a smile on Eblilis face as she took in the view of the city.

She was easily attracted to many things and can tell she wanted buy many, especially jewelry and clothes.

The carriage moved towards the palace without a hindrance. Although the parade of new faces attracted the crowd, nothing seemed out of place to them.

The scenery slowly turned to a much quieter and pleasant one. Crossing the small hill, at the back of it stood a majestic palace built according to Eblilis' model.

The time when I administered the construction, I was absolutely amazed by the whole structure of palace. According to the blueprint and her instructions, the palace turned out so scenic that just one look at it and you will fall in love with it.

It seems like Eblilis loves plants that she asked for a vast garden area with a batch of cherry blossoms and other floral trees.

The carriage took a turn and entered the runway and soon stopped in front of the entrance door. The servants I arranged already stood at the entrance in an orderly manner and welcomed Eblilis and Igses heartily.

Circe got out of the carriage first followed by other maidservants. Eblilis with Igses in her arms got down in the last and a huge smile was dug on her lips as she looked around excitedly.

"We welcome Milady to the Treasure Palace."
