"Young master..." Roxy looked at William with a complicated gaze, feeling guilty because she didn\'t try to stop William from making the agreement.

William squinted his eyes at Alex for a moment, then sighed, "Humans are always portrayed as the evil in our society. So, don\'t blame me for being biased against you.

Since you are a human, does that mean you come from outside this realm?"

"Yes, and your sentinel wants to use me to solve the problem in his kingdom," Alex replied with an annoyed tone.

He then shared his speculation that the king and other nobles were concocting a plan to overthrow the Sentinel from his seat.

"That is outrageous! What could even make you think that!?" Lily said in disbelief.

Every single royalty, including her mother and brother, was involved in what was essentially a rebellion. For Lily, the result was as clear as day: death.

She cannot believe they would do that.

"Isn\'t it clear as day? Look, there are no conflicts between the nobles; this means they are now united in one goal.

And what kind of person do you think is capable of doing this? Blaire? No way. Only a king can do this.

Then what kind of goal would need them to stay united other than overthrowing the Sentinel?"

"I know my mother and brother; there\'s no way they would be stupid enough to join that kind of rebellion."

Alex sighed, "I\'m not saying your mom and brother joined it on purpose, but I bet they will have no choice.

When your king and everyone powerful around them join, do you think they can just say no? They are not you, Lily, having the Sentinel protection."

This made Lily\'s expression turn complicated. Her eyes filled with worry. She took out a card from her pocket.

"What do you think you are doing?" Alex asked

"Of course, I need to contact them to make sure of this."

"Are you dumb? Stop it. Doing that will just make the situation worse. What good telling them about this will do?"

"I…" Lily\'s voice quivered, her eyes looking at Alex flickered with pain. "I don\'t know."

William, observing their interaction, couldn\'t help but comment, "Alex, I don\'t think you need to be so mean to her."

"How was I mean to her?" Alex asked, not understanding since he just told her the truth.

Roxy, sitting at William\'s side, also nodded. "Lady Lily doesn\'t care about politics and is famous for being upright and never misusing her authority. So it\'s not weird she doesn\'t understand the situation."

\'And how does that make me mean? She is a guardian captain. Even though she hates politics, she should understand something like this.\' Alex thought, but he didn\'t say it out loud.

He didn\'t want to bother with useless debate since his mind was focused on the situation on Emily\'s side. He kept getting occasional updates on the situation.

The group is now hiding in a basement in a random building they have entered.

With a sigh, Alex looked at Lily. "Sorry, I didn\'t mean it like that." He then turned to address William. "You explain it to her then."

William thought for a moment, then spoke. "Lady Lily, if you contact your family now, there\'s a risk someone can overhear it. Even if not, this will become a burden to them.

They will need to lie when facing the king and other royal family members. Isn\'t it better to just talk to them when the matter is settled?"

"You are right, William. But this changes many things." She turned her gaze to Alex. "As long as you can find proof of your theory, I will be able to move the guardian."

"Isn\'t the guardian\'s job only to face invaders and protect the big tree?"

"If the King really rebelled, doesn\'t that make him an invader?"

"Well, that is true." Alex started considering the idea; using the Guardian would certainly make his job easier.

"Can they be trusted?"

"Of course, every single one of them was checked beforehand by the Sentinel."

Remembering how Amu had acted before, Alex still didn\'t believe all of them could be trusted. "Let\'s decide when we get the proof then."

Alex then asked for more information on the Guardian\'s capabilities.

He learned that despite all of them using bows, in reality, each of them has different weapon mastery.

Some use swords, while others use spears or even guns. Lily\'s specialty was using a spear.

Since now she trust Alex, Lily also told him their weapons could be awakened, turning them into weapons of their choice. Each also has a unique ability.

"How could the weapons change? Is this unique to the Guardian?" Alex asked.

He wanted to know if there was a possibility he needed to fight an enemy like that.

"Based on what I know, no. But who knows what kind of leak we have if the king dares to rebel. I know him; he won\'t move if he is not sure of the result."

Their discussion was then interrupted as the chariot reached their destination.

From the window, Alex could see a big building surrounded by fences. The fences looked like thorny vines, with red roses growing from them, making them look both deadly and beautiful.

Crystal blue water flowed surrounding the building while many security personnel were walking on wooden platforms built on top of the vine fence.

The place was like a fortress. Alex and the group then made their way to the house. But they were stopped when they reached the bridge to pass the river.

"Halt!" the security raised his hand and then made the gesture to his chest.

"Praise the shadow! I am sorry, Lady Lily, the master is not here now; even if it\'s you, I cannot let you enter without his permission."

"Will you even bar my path? The Sentinel envoy?" Alex asked with a cold gaze.
