Lloyd Frontera.

On the southern side of the lands there is a small town owned by Lloyd Frontera. A big devotee of the Order of the round table.

Everything in Lloyd's life was going well. His family was influential. He was Almost about to get married.

And there was no stress or pressure as his only job was to keep an eye on the veil and the island of demons.

But one day the veil disappeared. The guards came running to an asleep Lloyd.

Knight : shocked but composed.

Sire the veil.... The veil has fallen.

And once the veil was down Frontera rushed to quickly check and he looked outside from his verandah where he could see the island clearly which was being covered by the veil before.

Now the island of demons was clearly visible.

All the people of the town were gathered on the beach before a veil shrouded in island.

Knight :

Sire what should we do.

Lloyd :

Take your fastest horse and go to as many clans and churches you can and tell them

The veil has fallen.

The knight took his fastest horse and raced through the plains. Crossing rivers and mountains. And spread the news to all the places he could reach.

From merchants, to guilds to even the most remote families the news was out in the mainland.

But nothing was confirmed. Then when the bishop of the round table had received a message from the gods that the demons are coming to mainland.

It spread a sense of urgency within the round table. And within a week. There was mass migration seen from all parts of the lands.

Just like the army which Delcado has assembled. All sorts of people gathered at the Frontera Estate. Warriors and their wives, noble who want to make a name for themselves.

Merchants, war mongers and for whatever reason two kings and 3 crown princes. There were some princesses but they were there to act and increase their morale.

If a total was added the total population of the town was around 250. But now the population had crossed thousands.

If took a whole lot of management just to keep the town running. Sure thete was a huge boom in revenue and taxes as everyone enjoyed their benefit.

Tailors getting overwhelmed with orders to create new dresses for princesses.

Inns were getting full. Even Frontera himself had to shelter all of the family heads and others in his own home and it was overflowing with sudden guests.

It was total chaos. And he was fed up with the ones higher up the chain being spoiled brats. Due to shortage of rooms at the estate a room was being shared by atleast minimum of 4 family heads.

And then not m having individual rooms angered them a lot.

The ones who had completely separate rooms were the kings and the princesses. Even the prince of different kingdoms were clubbed in one room.

To prepare for all of them. Tidy their rooms wash their clothes, prepare a surplus amount of food.

It was rapidly decreasing the stock of ingredients which was preserved it was predicted that in a few weeks the stock would be completely empty and everyone would starve which would not be great even for the people who lived there.

Lloyd was stressed but still kept calm. The only hope they had were the merchants. Who would make very unfair demands left and right.

And even the sewage system that they had was very rudimentary. It was not made to handle an excessive amount of sludge.

.

A few weeks later the caravan finally reached the town. Bringing weapons for soldiers, ammunition for cannons and bows.

But the most important was imports of food.

Lloyd met the caravan with open arms and his face seemed like a very huge load gad been taken off from his head.

He walked towards the caravan of the saintess and the door was opened which revealed a saintess which was tired and looked like she was very sick. Her face had become beet red and she took her breath through the mouth as if she was lethargic.

Along with her was a warrior who wore a helmet and had a really huge sword which was made of other swords and the paladin.

Lloyd was shocked.

Lloyd :

Saintess are you okay.

The saintess through her dying voice replied.

Nora :

I'm okay Lloyd, I just need some rest.

After saying the sentence she fainted and a fear had set inside Lloyd as he quickly rushed with the paladins to get a doctor who can help her.

Lloyd rushed as he remembered the days when he was an underling who served directly under the saintess as a guard placed to guard the quarters.

Something just like this had happened in the past. And that subconsciously relapsed into the present as Lloyd ran to get the doctor.

After 10 minutes he bought the town doctor. While she was taken to the Manor.

The doctor examined her pulses and he examined her breathing. He checked her skin to confirm the presence of infections and wounds.

The masked paladin who was with her was questioned and he replied in simple one liners. But the paladin backed him up making his alibi clear.

The doctor after performing various diagnosis reported to Lloyd.

Doctor :

She's very exhausted, but she will regain her complexion in a few days.

Lloyd :

What caused her to become like this.

Doctor :

This is something that I cannot say. But there is one thing that I k oe that the symptoms are not natural. They've seemed to appear in an instant. My theory is it was caused due to a lot of stress in her mind. And has affected her psyche.

Lloyd :

What does that mean.

Paladin :.

It means that she was attacked by spirits and was possessed. But I managed to save her in the nick of time.

Lloyd :

So what is the pure vessel safe.

Paladin :

It's safe at least for now. It seems that it didn't know about the existence of the pure vessel.

Lloyd :

Thank God.

After that the paladin was interrogated by Lloyd and he spilled the beans to his superior.

Lloyd :

I'm going to chase him till the ends of the lands what he did is unforgivable.

Paladin :

What he did even if it went against the laws. It was a noble path that he chose. You shouldn't interfere with him.

The saintess has chosen to forgive both of them after all.

From that day he held a sub conscious grudge against them.

But he couldn't do anything or give orders since he would always accompany the saintess as she is an important figurine in the Order of the Round Table.

Which brings us to the present once again.
