Chapter 30: A Little Peace of Mind
News of the invasion of the aristocratic pantheon, where the princess herself appeared, spread like wildfire throughout the Kingdom of Hydronia until it became a worldwide ssation.
Who were those hooded m? No one knew for sure; no one would talk despite the use of the most unpleasant methods of torture. The only thing they could get out was that they belonged to an organization called the Death Eaters, but before they could reveal who had planned the attack, they all died mysteriously.
The case was closed as impossible to solve, and the birthday boy for whom the meeting was organized was never found and was declared missing.
Count Rasforh himself barely survived the attack but lost a hand that had to be amputated to prevt it from rotting.
Count Rasforh\'s wife was also wounded, but not as badly, so the case was not more serious for her.
Thanks to the monstrous strgth of Duke Sonne and Duke Whitelock\'s avatar, the lives of several nobles were saved, and many others died, but they were able to save a large number.
According to the same investigation, the hooded m who confronted the two dukes were a thousand times stronger than those who confronted the young nobles, possibly because of some drug. With ts of thousands of them, the whole thing was a disaster.
One of the most popular topics was the appearance of an incomparable young warrior, a man of the new geration who could kill hundreds, if not thousands, of hooded m with his brutal strgth.
His strgth was such that he completely overshadowed Arnold and Alan, who had also eliminated many hooded m.
All the kids gave him a nickname... The Crimson Shadow or The Crimson Night, because his hair was as dark as the night and the shadows themselves, and his crimson eye was as bright as blood.
The Crimson Shadow was becoming increasingly famous worldwide, and he was already being called a gius without equal.
One Week Later…
The sun\'s rays had not ev begun illuminating the kingdom wh a young man began to train thusiastically in his home.
In the Fall Palace, Theos trained with his sword, Fragmt of Death, swinging it several times and practicing his moves.
His sleeveless shirt revealed the defined muscles of his chiseled and toned shoulders and arms. His skin, however, appeared incredibly smooth and pale , a contrast that would captivate any being who saw it.
Sweat dripped from his forehead with every move he made with his weapon. Since he wasn\'t wearing many accessories, just his t-shirt, a ring on his finger, and black pants, he could easily move a the training area.
"I\'ve be doing this for at least a couple of hours, I should stop," he said, wiping the sweat from his brow.
He stowed his weapon in the storage ring and took off his shirt to take a well-deserved refreshing bath to remove all the dirt that had accumulated on his body from the constant training.
Emerging from the training camp bathroom, he changed into much more formal attire this time: a black shirt, brown jacket, slightly tight pants, and black leather shoes.
He pulled out his phone to see his reflection, and wh he saw it, he smiled slightly. "I\'m serious, I\'m illegally handsome," he joked narcissistically, unable to resist the feeling that he was joking with himself on this subject.
\'I should get back…\' he thought, putting the memory ring back on his index finger and the phone in his pocket. Th, he left the training camp to go home.
Upon arrival, he oped the door and saw the palace inside. Everything seemed quiet; the aroma was delicious, and the sound of something being cooked was mixed with it.
Theos smiled slightly and walked over to the palace kitch to see a girl he considered his wife happily cooking with a smile on her face.
"Mmm," she hummed a tune with her little mouth, seeming to dance in the kitch, gracefully tossing each ingredit into the pot. Her homely and charming movemts captivated ev Theos, who stared at her wordlessly.
*Drop*.
The sound of falling metal made Theos look closer, and he realized that Alice was watching him in surprise. "Ah, good, it\'s you, you gave me quite a scare," Alice sighed in relief, clutching her chest with her hand.
"Am I that ugly?" he commted, feigning "pain" and "sadness", causing Alice to roll her eyes.
"Yes, yes, you are extremely ugly, I will not feed your narcissism," she chuckled.
The two stared at each other for who knew how long until Alice rushed over to Theos, jumped on him, and hugged him.
"Happy Birthday!"

As good news, I have completely recovered, or at least I think so hahaha, I will be able to write better chapters, because honestly, before my eyes were burning, I was just writing on my cell phone for a while, and for the curious, yes, I am writing on my cell phone:)
I won\'t commt so much from here on, because that would be like adding more unnecessary words to the chapter, so I\'ll use the "Author\'s Thoughts", which are there for a reason, hahaha. From here on out... Thanks for the support, and thanks for reading!
