The Letter and The Guard

"Give me a moment." Nicholas informed the riders as he walked towards the wall and placed his palms on it.

He closed his eyes as he poured mana into the wall, everyone watched in awe as Nicholas' hands glowed with Cruor blue magic.

After a few minutes, Nicholas opened his eyes, took a step back and marveled at his handiwork.

He knew that the other mages would not be able to appreciate what he had done, but he had just ensured that the wall would remain standing in his lifetime.

Nicholas made a mental note to return after becoming king so that he could strengthen the wall further.

"Do you mind if we sit and eat while you tell us why you are here?" Nicholas asked as he looked at Genera Franco, who led him to a lavish house at the center of the fort.

With things finally settling, Nicholas remembered that he didn't know if his sister as well as Michal had managed to make it to Corporali Territory safely.
