Chapter 732 - A Murder of Eagles

“… so these are the places we have to check,” Leon said, marking down half a dozen spots on the map of the Prota Forest that he’d identified.

With Nestor’s help, he’d used an ad-...

Chapter 731 - Narrowing the Search

Leon sat on the roof of his portable villa, his magic senses projected as he scanned the Prota Forest in as fine of detail as he could. He was initially on the lookout for anything that might’ve ...

Chapter 730 - Reaching the Prota Forest

The Prota Forest. Leon could see it from the Neilos River with his magic senses. Even from a distance of less than two hundred miles, he could see it was deep, dark, and wild. He couldn’t see any...

Chapter 729 - Leon and Cassandra

Leon stood opposite Cassandra, his training sword brandished, his golden eyes narrow with focus. Cassandra looked quite similar with her ruby eyes trained on him, her own sword in a guard position,...

Chapter 728 - Working Out Some Frustration

“Mind if I cut in here?” Cassandra asked, Leon and Valeria stuck in her ravenous, ruby gaze.

Leon could almost feel Valeria’s antipathy. They had been having a wonderful time sparring, ...

“Your Highness!” Elise exclaimed as Cassandra walked into the yacht’s primary lounge. “It’s such a surprise to see you!”

Leon smiled at her as he led Cassandra inside. He’d sent...

Chapter 726 - Departing Evergold

Cassandra’s heart raced with fury, and she could barely hear herself think over the roar of blood rushing through her head. She couldn’t believe the meeting she’d just witnessed between Leon ...

Chapter 725 - The Golden Grove II

The Grand Druid’s entrance befitted her position; the trumpets sounded, the criers announced her, and from the rainbow trees behind the throne she emerged, followed by enough other people to doub...

Chapter 724 - The Golden Grove I

The Golden Grove. When Leon heard those words, he’d initially assumed that it would be something akin to the Heartwood Grove back in the Forest of Black and White; some kind of relatively insulat...

Chapter 723 - Evergold

Deep in the palace of Ilion, within his private chambers, Anastasios sat, staring at the painted idols on the altar before him. Such had been his wont for more than a century now, as time deepened ...

Chapter 722 - Almost Unified Aesthetic

Leon could hardly believe what he was seeing. Eleven suits of armor were in front of him, each one tailored specifically to a member of his retinue. And only a little over a month had passed since ...

Chapter 721 - Symposium

Leon stood just outside his front door, Elise at his side, just about his entire household with him, ready to welcome their guests into their home.

They were throwing a party. A small party,...

Chapter 720 - Seeking Allies

Leon was quite subdued when he arrived at Emilie’s residence at the top of her tower, just below the magical spire that helped to hold the Hexagon in the air. After some thinking done on the flig...

Chapter 719 - Avian Jealousy

Chapter 718 - Overthinking

Leon stared at his retinue assembled around him.

“… and so that’s where we stand,” he finished, having just caught them all up on the events of the past couple of days and where they...

Chapter 717 - Simmering Conflict

Leon stared at Penelope sitting across the table from him. Elise, Maia, and Valeria were with him, though only Elise sat next to him—Valeria leaned against the wall behind them while Maia had lai...

Chapter 716 - Relics

Penelope’s blood roared in her ears, and she could feel her heart beating like a hammer within her chest. She glanced over at her father, feeling no small amount of anxiety and even a small amoun...

Chapter 715 - Pressure From His Own Hands

Leon stared at the Director, having just finished his report on the past couple of days, waiting for the shadowy figure to respond.

After a moment, the Director simply said, “Well done, Le...

Chapter 714 - Seeking Support

Things calmed in Occulara after the raid on the vampire’s warehouse. Leon knew that Kassia was being interrogated and that he’d eventually get a report on what she’d said, but for the next co...

Chapter 713 - Inspiring Loyalty

For Marcus, unconsciousness was a sweet release from the past few days of torture. When his mind gave out, he could no longer feel the pain of the magical torments inflicted upon him, he couldn’t...

Chapter 712 - Investigating Disappearances III

“I think we have something,” one of the investigators informed Leon about an hour after he and his retinue arrived at the central archives.

“What is it?” Leon asked without hesitatio...

Chapter 711 - Investigating Disappearances II

Demon magic… It was faint, but Leon could sense it.

[Xaphan…] Leon whispered into his soul realm. [Do you sense this, too?]

He felt his demonic partner’s magic senses pulse out ...

Chapter 710 - Investigating Disappearances I

“Ahh, it’s good to be home,” Marcus said, only a hint of a drunken slur in his voice despite having been drinking with Alcander for hours.

Leon had released them that afternoon after t...

Chapter 709 - Attempted Return to Routine

When Leon left the Director’s office, he spared only one quick polite nod of his head to Penelope before leaving. He met his family back in the atrium, and with them, departed for home. He didn�...

Chapter 708 - Lord and Subject

By the time Leon, Elise, and Talal returned to Leon’s portable villa, it had begun to rain. In some ways, it caused the already depressed mood to worsen, and the short journey was made in silence...

Chapter 707 - An End to the Hunt

It was about all Leon could possibly do to stop from grinning like an idiot as Cassandra handed him the mask that she’d wagered. The thing was supposed to help its wearer concentrate on their tas...

Chapter 706 - Hesperidic Apples

When the hoard was finally all accounted for, there wasn’t that much to divide amongst their three parties. Since most of the goods were marked with some kind of sigil or other identifying emblem...

Chapter 705 - Looting the Wyvern's Lair

The black wyvern was dead, the battle was over. The brown wyvern was dead, too, and the remaining two wyverns that had remained loyal to Black were allowed to flee. Cassandra had argued against tha...

Chapter 704 - The Final Round

Leon, Red, Maia, Cassandra, and Penelope stood on the edge of the cliffs overlooking the gorge, all dressed in their respective armor and ready for battle. It wasn’t much longer that they were me...

Chapter 703 - Red II

“Have to admit,” Leon said as Red was shown into his portable villa’s small sitting room, “I wasn’t expecting to see you again so soon. Figured you’d only show back up tomorrow morning....
