I'm the King Of Technology

Castello listened to the many retellings and felt dizzy.

You know, he did believe in the God of Chaos and Destruction, Izoh. 

From eyewitnesses, as well as the evidence of destruction around him, Castello was convinced that it should be Izoh's doing. 

However, some people also said it should be Princess Tilda's evil powers.

That princess was known as an evil entity, feared and hated by almost everyone.

Nowadays, if a person died in one's family, they would curse Tilda, blaming her for killing the person.

What were the odds that the day before her coming of age and marriage, this disaster would strike the palace?

Of course, people were indeed skeptical. However, just a few moments later, he got word that her cottage and even the forest region were left in ruin. 

From this alone, it was highly likely that she was dead. Meaning this might not have had anything to do with her. 

Then maybe this was indeed Izoh's wrath, intending to punish Alexander.

Heh...

Who knows how that bastard had annoyed the God of Chaos & Destruction? 

Castello knew and believed in the God Izoh because his grandmother had specially told him how his late grandfather also had his powers. It's believed that in their family, several generations all had this same power as he did thanks to Ivo. 

Not believing in the God who gave him all this was stupid.

There has also been hidden information about how Izoh unleashed his wrath on those he punished.

Humans weren't powerful enough to do such things.

From the blinding lights to creating smoke with no fire, destroying the ground and a few buildings... who else can do this apart from Ivo?

Of course, for now, he decided not to draw any conclusions yet.

His aides had been in there trying to steal the document when all went down. 

If he can find them, he'll be able to get their retelling of what happened. Who knows if some here were exaggerating?

Castello frowned deeply. 

Paula should've been in the palace when all this went down. Meaning she shouldn't have perished with her granddaughter in the mountains. 

Good, good, good... 

If she were still here and alive, then that would be great.

And if anyone said she was dead, unless he found her body or bones, he would never give up!

Heheheh...

Of course, Castello wasn't the only one momentarily shocked.

Inside the Palace, in one of the guest courtyards, the young groom-to-be was also thinking things deeply. 

He sat in the darkness and watched the entire thing unfold before his very eyes. 

Tonight had shown him just how weak humans were. 

His eyes shone with a strange and vicious light. 

"Find out about tonight, and acquire every little book on Dafaren has to offer on the heavens. Now go!"

~Swish! 

All 6 hidden guards vanished. 

With that, the young man walked step by step towards his window, looking towards the heavens in utter silence. 

However, if one looked at his eyes, one would see the turmoil and unrest within them.

Whatever the cost, he must find a way to acquire the power of the Gods!

If he had this power, he would crush mountains with a single thumb. 

He had heard of people in this world having strange powers... So why was he left out? 

Though tonight's attack wasn't the work of a mere human, if he could get even 1/10th of such a power, his plans would go smoother than expected.

The young man clenched his fist coldly. Since the heavens looked down on him by not giving him any power, then he would just have to find a way to get it!

Date to belittle him? Keep dreaming. 

After seeing what he saw tonight, he was ready to fight against the heavens for what he deserved!

. 

Like so, tonight's ordeal had reminded many that the heavens were always watching over their every move. 

And while they were thinking of what to do, the real culprit of the matter had long fled the palace, finally arriving at their take-off point. 

4:23 A.M. 

~Gallop. Gallop. Gallop~

The horses arrived at the hidden site after a rigorous run.

And soon, Paula heard a voice she was long used to.

"Nana!!"

"Tilda?... Tilda!"

Both women rushed towards one another with teary eyes.

They didn't lie... These people didn't lie to them.

Tilda buried her head on her nana's bosom, crying her eyes out. "Nana... I thought I would never see you again..."

"Good girl." Paula tightened her grip around Tilda, patting her in the back. 

Both women just couldn't believe that they had succeeded in fleeing the scene. 

In truth, it all went too smoothly that along the way, they were very fearful, thinking Alexander's men would soon find them.

Ever since they left the palace, they had been fleeing for 2 whole hours now. So all this time, their hearts had always been tense. 

Landon and the rest allowed the women to have their reunion while prepping to leave. 

One should know that before 1 A.M, they had long infiltrated the palace and got to their attack positions. 

By one on the dot, the air force units began their rampage, and they focused on sneaking into their targeted regions and getting their targets out as fast as they could. 

And by 2:30 A.M, they had finally managed to escape the palace. 

Following that, they used the next 2 hours to get here. Of course, with all the chaos and guards running amok in the city, they acted as messengers, riding horses around and gathering knights to head towards the palace.

Sigh... The cat and mouse game made them a tad bit tired.

But at least, since in the air, they would finally be able to get some shut-eye! 

They only had a few hours to get as far as possible from the Capital before sunrise at 6:48~7 A.M. 

Paula and Tilda stared at the hot air balloons in confusion.

Aren't they supposed to be taking the horses and fleeing?

So why are these men getting on these strange things?
