Chapter 13

Commander Eric continues with the tracking for hours and whenever they get to a certain place where he can no longer feel her aura in the air, he would take out the compass before continuing with his tracking once again. When the guards saw what he was doing, they couldn't help but wonder where he must have gotten the treasure from.  

After following the aura for a long time, they finally arrive at a city that is buzzing with people going in and out of it with two guards standing by the side of the gate as they keep watchful eyes over those that are going inside the city.

"No offense here commander but are you sure that the queen is hiding here"? Ask the guard who is in charge of tracking.

"This is where her aura led us to, so there is no mistaking that she is hiding here" replied commander Eric casually before keeping the compass away since her aura is no longer in the place.

"Now I want you all to split up and look around the place for her while I check some of the noticeable buildings" ordered commander Eric before landing.

After the orders had been given, the guards all went down before joining the queue as they didn't want to alarm the queen about their arrival. They all waited until it was their turn before going through the gate. 

The moment that they went inside the city, the guards didn't wait for commander Eric's reminder before all charging into different places in search of the queen while commander eric Continue to take a walk around the place in hope of catching a glimpse of her aura but wasn't an easy task since the cultivator had to let loose a little bit of their aura but that was not the case.

"Where could you be hiding mi lady" he muttered to himself before moving to another location to continue with his search.

While commander Eric was busy tracking her aura, the guards were busy asking the citizens if they had seen her coming here only for them to be let down with a negative answer. After continuing in this method for a while and the patrol team noticed the men pesting the citizens, they went to approach them in hope of giving them a warning to let the citizens be but it was then that one of the guards lash out as the captain of the patrol team as he sent him flying with a powerful punch which took his life.

"We were only asking them questions and nothing more so if you don't want to get hurt as well, then scream" the guard said angrily.

Seeing their captain lying on the ground lifeless, the patrol teams couldn't help but look at the man who had just killed their captain in fear before taking a step back.

"There is no way we would be able to beat him, so let's just leave this place and go get our superior" said one of the patrol members before dashing out of the scene in fear.

The sound of the captain crashing before his death didn't go unnoticed by those in the city as they all turned their heads towards the direction that the sound came from. Even commander Eric was left with a twitched face when he heard the sound.

"Those fools, can't they do things more quietly" he complained with gritted teeth before walking into the inn that was close by. 

While he was searching the buildings for the queen's aura, he suddenly felt her aura coming from the inn and since the guards had caused an uproar in the city, it would be impossible to say that it would go unnoticed by the queen so, without any delay, he dashes straight for the inn.

After entering the inn, he didn't waste a second with the receptionist as he went straight upstairs before the receptionist could ask any questions. 

"I can feel it, it's coming from up here" he said to himself as he looked upward with an excited look on his face.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Queen Jeanie had a deep frown on her face with her head twisted towards the door, and seeing her mother in that way, Jason knew that something was up and he had to ask.

"Is anything the matter"?.

"We have been found out" she replied while not taking her eyes off the door.

"But I thought you said that they won't be able to find us here, so how come is that possible" asked Jason as he had a worried look on his face while looking at his mother.

"I don't know how they were able to locate us but it has to be commander Eric's bidding" she replied before finally taking her gaze off the door and walking toward Jason who was still laying on the bed as she took off her ring before giving it to him. 

"Inside this ring is a map that would lead you to a place that is hidden from the world even if your father doesn't know of its existence" she said as she handed the ring to him.

"Are you planning on leaving me behind"? Jason asked with tears flowing from his eyes.

"There is no other choice Jason, if I should go with you, then there would be no end to this madness but if you go alone, there is hope that you would come back to the higher heaven to take your place as king and avenge your father's death"  reply queen Jeanie with a saddened look on her face as she stroked his head.

"But mother, there is no way that I can do this without you. I mean just take a look at me, how do you expect me to protect myself without you by my side" said Jason in tears as he refused to leave. 

"Remember Jason, you are not a pushover. Now you have to leave before commander Eric gets here" she replied before kissing Jason on his head and wiping the tears off his face before taking a step back as she began to manipulate the spiritual energy in the area around Jason as she spoke in a low tone.

"I will be sending you far away from this place where they won't be able to find you but the rest would be up to you" she said before swinging her hand and the next moment Jason was sent flying out of the room as he shot into the sky.
