"So the male has arrived; you have some sort of plan, right? I'm sure you do," Victoria spoke; she was currently in a carriage with Evelyn heading to the palace.
"I don't have a plan now, the problem now is the male, he would have no reason to reject the Queen's offer, and then the Queen would have him in shackles binding him to the palace"
"So she's going to use him as a political piece because the other two kingdoms would want the S-rank male"
"That's right, they'll come for him, bringing their youngest S-rank females or all their S-rank females to mate with him," Evelyn spoke.
"Before that, I'm sure the Firefrost would be offered a chance, which they would accept since their newly awakened daughter is S-rank, and if they do, they'll give birth to more S-rank," Victoria said.
"There's nothing wrong with that; the Firefrost are still part of Avalon; the issue now is that we won't be able to see the male because he'll be guarded at all times, and even when he isn't, they'll be too many maids around to do anything" Evelyn spoke.
"I really don't care; I'm still going to mate with the male," Victoria replied.
"I'm sure..." Evelyn stopped as the carriage also came to a stop, she knew they hadn't reached the palace and opened the window to see what was happening.
Two mages with horses were beside them and quickly came down from their horse as Evelyn opened the door to the carriage.
The mage beside her bowed her head, "I have a report"
"Seeing as you couldn't wait for our return, I'm sure it's important, what is it?" Evelyn asked as Victoria came to her side and the mage bowed again.
"The village of Elmstead was attacked by the Blood Fangs; two of our mages were gravely injured, and others had minor injuries, but no one died," The mage spoke.
"Attacked by the Blood Fangs, how many of them?" Victoria asked immediately.
"All five of them, including the leader," the mage replied.
"They came for the male?"
"Yes, they left after discovering the male had been moved to the capital. We just got the message now, and we came to report as soon as possible," the mage said.
"Good, we're going to the palace, so we'll inform the Queen, return back to the academy," Evelyn said to the mages, and they bowed.
"How did the Blood Fangs get the information about the male and attacked last night? There are only two ways: either they were in Avalon when the news spread or someone informed them," Victoria said as she got back into the carriage.
"So you think one of the Noble families is in contact with the Blood Fangs?" Evelyn asked.
"Yes, and you know that's more likely than one of their members being inside Avalon, so the question is which of the Noble family" Victoria said.
"I think that's a stretch; even if you do blame a family, there's no way to check if that's true or not without them knowing, and if you turn out to be wrong, then you'll have to face the consequences," Evelyn replied.
"I really don't care, but I'm sure you can look into it; I can't wait to see the male; what if he's ugly?" Victoria asked causing Evelyn to laugh.
"Let's get to the palace first, but since we have nothing to do, maybe we should look for the Blood Fangs and annihilate them since we can't be on the war front anymore," Evelyn spoke.
Victoria chuckled before speaking, "It's rare for you to use violent words like that, but you do know the Blood Fangs have an S-rank mage and four A-rank members, including that one with the blood artifact," Victoria replied.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of one S-rank and four A-ranks; you do know the entire world considers both of us the strongest S-ranks ever," Evelyn said.
"You really think I'm afraid? I'm saying I don't think they're enough to give us a challenge, but I think it'll be worth it; at least we'll recover the blood artifact," Victoria replied.
"So we'll make that a mission or you're just joking?" Victoria asked.
"We'll make it a mission, we can tell our seconds to fill in while we go to Elmstead, I'm sure our mages can track their Mana, but I'm pretty sure they used teleportation magic so we won't be able to track them"
"Then we'll trace their Mana to the teleportation spot and use reverse teleportation, but they would have thought of that and set a trap in advance, but we'll go though it" Victoria spoke.
"Then we'll track them to the hole they usually crawl in after each time they cause trouble"
"Look at all these foods; I haven't even seen some of these; what is this?" Anya asked looking at the meal on the table.
After their bathroom session, the three of them were currently in front of a large meal served by the maids; the meal was so grand it could be enough for a family of ten, just for the three of them.
"I have no idea what most of these are" Amelia spoke as she looked at the meal.
Roman also had no idea what most of the meal was, but it smelled great, so he was already ready to dig in as he took a plate and began to pick what he wanted from each plate.
Anya and Amelia did the same, and soon, the three of them were consuming the meal; it was probably the most delicious meal in the entire kingdom cooked by a royal chef; it was just amazing.
*Knock!*
The door was pushed open and the Royal knight who escorted them walked into the room.
"The Queen has sent for you; the maids would keep the meal; you can eat it once you're done," She spoke.
Roman quickly took the napkin, cleaned his mouth, and drank water before standing up. The knight led the way, and the three of them followed behind.
