With the help of Alex and Gracier, Conrad buried the dead bodies.
Alex spat out a sigh as they finished. Conrad summoned another magic carriage, this one was more beautiful, it was a white carriage beautifully decorated.
''So, you have a spare one?" Alex asked while admiring the beauty of this carriage.
''I do. Well, it seems that G- Miss Leena had predicted sothing like this would happen, hence she left another carriage just in case.'' Conrad explained.
''I see,'' Alex mumbled, lost in thought, he was more interested in what Conrad wanted to say but changed to Miss Leena. What that G ant?
''I say, Alex. Do you offend soone you shouldn't, reason why there's always people after your life?" Conrad asked. His voice jerked Alex back to awareness.
Alex's lips twitched when he finally understood Conrad's question.
''How rude. I didn't offend anyone. Well, I once insulted the second princess by calling her bitch, the more correct word was 'Bitch go fuck yourself.''
Conrad looked at Alex with a look of admiration. Sa with Gracier whose eyes were shining.
''I'm surprised that you still have your head after having said sothing like that. That princess was known for her ruthlessness. Did you think it's her doing, these eight n?"
Gracier's eyes narrowed dangerously when she heard this, she mistakenly thought that it was also the second princess who sent that monster after them. Her eyes turned murderous.
Having noticed his sister's unusual state, Alex stroked her hair to calm her down.
''Do not think too much about it.''
Gracier nodded her head, Conrad smiled seeing the interaction between the two.
''Well, it's possible that is her n. As for how they knew we will be passing here, it was not hard to guess that, soone sold us.'' Alex said and kept stroking Gracier's hair.
''Likely. Let's get moving.'' Conrad said, Alex and Gracier boarded the carriage and left.

anwhile, in a mansion in the capital.
The figure of Katherina, the second princess could be seen. She sat on a comfy chair reading a book when suddenly a maid brought a tea, she placed the tea in front of Katherina, she bowed before leaving quietly as not to disturb her mistress.
Katherina continued to slowly flip through the pages of the book in her hand as the steam from the cup wafted a pleasant scent past her. She paused for a mont, then she gently lifted the cup and drank. It was a pleasant temperature, neither too hot nor too lukewarm, she felt refreshed like her mind was clearing imdiately, as she sipped at it.
Her mood was great, as she was about to continue reading when suddenly she frowned as she sensed an incoming presence.
Soon, a shadow materialized near her.
''Greetings your Highness. I have sothing to report.'' the man dressed in black said while kneeling.
Katherina was truly displeased, everybody knew she dislikes being bothered when she was reading. It was one of her few joys, her little heaven amidst the hell known as the royal family where you and your siblings will constantly at each other throats vying for the throne. However now, this Heaven was shattered, shaking her head she said in a voice that doesn't hide her displeasure.
''Go on.''
The black-clothed felt shudder running down his spine hearing such a chilling voice, even if he knew the princess was in a bad mood, he braced himself and spoke.
''Gregor took the initiative to send so n to take care of that otherworlder as he learned he was coming towards the capital, the n died it-"
He didn't even manage to finish his words when a powerful pressure coming from Katherina pressed his head against the floor as if to grind it.
''What did you say?"
Katherina's blue eyes were narrowed dangerously, she was furious beyond words, she had said to not make another move against Alexander and yet a retard among her subordinates went against her order. She could understand why this person did sothing like that, it was to curry the favor of the soon-to-be Empress, well from their standpoint.
Nevertheless, an arbitrary decision is sothing she disliked more than anything, especially when she'd already stated not to do anything. As for the n's death, she was unbothered because this would an that Alex survived, as for how she was not interested at the mont.
The poor man was on the brink of death as so much pressure was making it impossible for him to normally breathe, his bones were creaking threatening to break, fortunately before he passes out, the pressure receded.
Then he heard Katherina's cold order that seed to have co from the depth of hell.
''Seize all his assets and throw him into the Hell's prison.''
The black-clothed man shuddered in terror when he heard the last order, nevertheless he still fearfully nodded his head, fearing that he may be sent to the Hell's prison as well, no word could be used to describe this prison, if not that it's the prison of no return.
''Quickly leave. I want to be alone.'' Katherina said in a bad mood.
The man in the black quickly stood up and bowed his before deciding to flee for his dear life, however, he stopped as he rembered another ssage he had forgotten to tell Katherina because he was too scared, he had the feeling that Katherina's mood would improve once she learned about this ssage.
''Princess, that person ca back-"
''What? Why didn't you say that earlier?"
The man lowered his head inwardly thinking, 'Isn't it because you almost killed ?'. Well, there was no way he'd say sothing like that. Only Hell's prison awaits him if he were to do.
Seeing the man turned into a mute, Katherina waved her hand and dismissed him, her mood had improved.
''Forget it. I'll go see her.''
She then leaves the mansion disguised to go see that person. Soone she hasn't seen in years.
•••••
Back to Alex's Location.
Night ca, The bright, full moon enveloping half the night sky splashed on the pitch-black ground with its illumination. The outlines of the leaves in the forest were visible.
The figures of Alex, Gracier, and Conrad could be seen sitting across the campfire which was making a Paki~ paki~ sound.
Silveria was not present she didn't want to make her presence known, she only appear when the two are inside the carriage and use a spell to hide her presence.
Suddenly Alex who was happily playing with his sister stopped and asked.
''I know that there are 04 empires, 03 kingdoms, and two principalities, but that's all I did not have the ti to read to get more knowledge on this world as I was too focused on getting stronger. Conrad, can you help ?''
Gracier's interest was imdiately piqued, she doesn't know anything about the outside world, after all, it could be said that Alex's question was tily, almost as if it was intentional.
Conrad did not imdiately answer, he pondered for a mont before starting to talk.
''As you may have heard, there are four livable continents.''
'So this ant there are more than four continents?' Alex wondered but decided to listen to Conrad's explanation for now.
''Human's continent nad Alexa, Beastn's continent called Bestia, Dark Continent ho of the demon, Elfira ho's of Elves.
Alexa's continent is composed of:
04 empires: Drexia Empire, Holy Crux Empire, Sarz Empire, and Far East Empire.
03 Kingdoms: Renault Kingdom, Phaoh Kingdom, and the Sia Kingdom.
02 principalities: Andoras Principality and Lorn Principality.
''Big brother, what is it a Principality?'' Gracier interrupted Conrad and asked as it was her first ti hearing such a term.
''A principality (or sotis princedom) can either be a monarchical feudatory or a sovereign state, ruled or reigned over by a monarch with the title of prince or by a monarch with another title considered to fall under the generic aning of the term prince. By the way which type are the two principalities?" Alex ended his explanation with a question directed at Conrad.
''There are sovereign states,'' Conrad said.
''I see.''
Gracier finally understood what Principality ant, so stayed silent and watched Conrad continue.
''By the way, Drexia Empire is the strongest empire followed by Holy Crux Empire, an empire governed by the church, after the Holy Crux Empire co the Sarz Empire, then lastly Far East Empire.
Drexa Empire is situated in the center of the continent while the Holy Crux Empire is in the north, Sarz Empire in the south, as its na suggests, Far East Empire is in the Eastern part of the continent, the three kingdoms and Andoras Principality are in the western part of the continent, Lorn Principality is near the Sarz Empire.''
Conrad stopped to let them digest what he just said, then he continued,
''Moving on to the other continents. First let's talk about the Beastn's continent: Bestia or Razen.
There are 02 empires and 02 kingdoms:
✒ The Lionheart Empire, ho of the prideful Lion beastn, and Wolfang Empire, ho of the Wolf.
The two kingdoms are the Mixten kingdom where all lower Beastns such as Rabbit race, Cat beastn live, and lastly the Foxia Kingdom, ho of the Fox, in terms of power they are the third, nobody likes to ss up with them even though they are extrely beautiful, it's almost won race. It's a matriarchal kingdom, Ah!
It ant govern solely by won.'' Conrad quickly added to not allow Gracier to interrupt him again.
Gracier's eyes shined when she heard that, she was the urge to go there, patting her head Alex cald her as he could guess what she was thinking, he had the sa urge after all. He wants to see kemommi as well, especially the Fox one reputed for their beauty, however now wasn't the ti.
Conrad was speechless as he witnesses the sibling's eyes glead when they heard about the Beastn, especially the Fox. Coughing to break the unusual atmosphere, he continued.
''Let's move on the elven continent.
There's only one Empire, which shares the sa na as the continent, Elfira. Then there are 02 kingdoms: the Lucia Kingdom and the Darkarda Kingdom, ruled by the dark elves. By the way, the Elfira empire is ruled by the High Elves, the current empress went missing two centuries ago. Nobody knows where she went.
Lastly, the dark continent or Asura continent, only one Empire, Crimson Empire, and several kingdoms. That's all you need to know for now.'' Conrad said before closing his eyes.
''Thank you for the information,'' Alex said bowing his head, Gracier also did the sa thing, Conrad only smiled.
The two siblings excused them and went to sleep.
Once alone Conrad sighed and with a lancholic look he mumbled, ''Lastly, there was the beautiful Arda continent, however now it is the Void continent. Truly a pity.''
He then closed his eyes to rest, however, he was on the alert, nothing could bypass his senses.
