Chapter 567: UNCLE-NEPHEW DUO
“AHHHHHHHHHH!”
Jasper had to cover his ears with his hands when Eloise, the fox lady who coveted Lewis Crevan, screamed in agony while pressing her hands against her bleeding eyes.
It was his work.
Earlier, a surge of Darkness exploded in Eloise.
It almost hit Jasper and Lewis. Thankfully, he managed to summon his butterflies in time and use them to block the Darkness. Since his butterflies had a purification element, they survived the surprise attack.
After that, Jasper immediately drew his sword and attacked the fox lady.
Yes, he targeted Eloise’s eyes.
…..
He didn’t like how the fox lady looked at Lewis lewdly.
[Those lewd eyes of hers remind me of my trauma.]
It reminded him of the time when he and Lewis were almost sexually assaulted in the Death Camp. Needless to say, it was a horrible experience that he didn’t want to happen to anyone.
“Are you alright, Lewis?”
“Yes,” Lewis said indifferently. “I would have plucked her eyes out if you didn’t beat me to it.”
“I can’t let a child do something as horrible as that,” Jasper said while shaking his head. “Especially since you have the same eyes as her.”
“That doesn’t affect me,” the fox boy said. “Just because she came from the same tribe doesn’t mean we’re family. There’s only one person I consider as such.”
“Ah, Princess Neoma- your “mother.””
“Princess Neoma isn’t my mother.”
He just laughed it off. “Go, Lewis.”
“What?”
“This fox lady seems to be obsessed with you,” Jasper said, holding his sword tight when he noticed that Eloise was planning to attack while pretending to “cry.” “I’ll send some butterflies with you so the air you breathe will remain clean. Go and find Princess Neoma. My gut feeling is telling me that this fox lady is sent here just to stall us.”
“But-”
“I’m older than you, so listen to me.”
“What does age have to do-”
“Princess Neoma considers me her older brother, so that makes me your uncle,” Jasper teased the fox boy, then he looked over his shoulder to look at Lewis’ precious frown. “My dear nephew, listen to your uncle and go.”
“I’m not your nephew,” Lewis denied vehemently, then he turned his back on him. “Don’t die, Duke Hawthorne. Princess Neoma will get sad if you die.”
After saying that, the fox boy ran at a full speed and his butterflies barely caught up to him.
“Did you let Lewis Crevan escape because you don’t want him to witness your death?”
Jasper turned to Eloise who was already done preparing.
Weirdly enough, the fox lady used one of her white tails to cover her bleeding eyes.
“I won’t sacrifice myself just to stop you,” he said. “As my little sister often says, no mission is worth dying for.”
His “little sister” would be Princess Neoma, of course.
“Then why did you let the fox leave first?”
“You’re the first Silver Fox that Lewis saw aside from himself,” he said, preparing for an attack with his sword. “I just don’t want him to witness the death of the only female Silver Fox that he’d seen in this world.”
“How arrogant,” the fox lady said, growling at him. “Now I’m more interested in you, Jasper Hawthorne.”
Jasper laughed at the fox lady’s “confession.” “I’m sorry, but my heart is already taken.” 𝒆𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝙚𝙩
“I don’t want your heart!” Eloise growled, coming at him at full speed. “Give me your liver!”

NEOMA raised her arms while looking up at Jeno. The boy was already on his knees, but he was still way taller than her. “Carry me, Jeno.”
“How could I dare touch the body of a Royal Family member-”
“Just do it,” she said, cutting him off. “It’s fine. You’re my family, too.”
Jeno looked like he debated with himself for a moment before he nodded. Then, ever so carefully, he put his hands on her waist and lifted her before putting her in his arms. “A-Are you okay, Princess Neoma? Am I not crushing you?”
“Nah, you’re doing good,” she assured him.
He looked relieved. Only then did he stand up, with Neoma still carefully placed in his arms.
“Where’s Paige?”
Jeno turned to the annex building. “When Paige realized that Dilan Crowell wasn’t here, she headed to the annex building to deactivate the teleportation spell.”
“Then let’s go there,” Neoma said, pointing her short and plump finger to the annex building. “Let’s look for the lion’s treasure.”

IT LOOKED like Glenn had grown old, indeed.
In his prime, he could cut someone of Raven’s caliber with just three swings of his sword.
But, this time, it took him more than fifty swings before he was able to hit a vital organ. When the crow finally bled, he cut him up into pieces.
It was pretty anti-climactic.
But, to be honest, Raven wasn’t someone that he would waste time with. The crow might be an executive. Even so, the fact that the crows assigned him as Calyx Dalton’s mere babysitter only meant he was in the lower branch.
[A “small fry,” as Princess Neoma would call it.]
“You didn’t find my wife, did you?” Glenn asked Raven’s severed head, smiling. “Of course, you couldn’t.”
After saying that, he walked away from the crow’s dismembered body.
Calyx Dalton only dominated their fight earlier because he wasn’t using his full strength.
Aside from the fact that he was only there to stall the young lord, he had already exhausted half of his power in strengthening the security in Brigitte’s room.
The room where his queen gave birth to their son.
And now…
Glenn opened the door to the portal room that he connected to the Quinzel Estate, then he bowed to the esteemed guests that he had been waiting for. “Welcome to our kingdom, Prince Nero and Lady Roseheart.”
“Raise your head, sire,” Lady Roseheart said, addressing him formally. “It’s faint, but I can feel the divine power in this palace. Could it be…”
“Yes, Lady Roseheart – my son is born safely, and my wife is doing well,” Glenn said, raising his head to meet Lady Roseheart’s worried gaze. “But we need your help regarding my son’s divine power, my lady.”
“I will do my best to help,” Lady Roseheart said, then she turned to the Crown Prince. “Son, can you summon William and Delwyn for me?”
“Of course, Mother,” Nero said, then he turned to him. “Sire, where’s Dahlia?”
Glenn was confused by the question, but he still gave a response. “Miss Dahlia is currently holding Lord Calyx back, Your Royal Highness.”
