Chapter 82: Chapter 82

Baron Ambrose never thought that this island will be so colorful. The sky is full of balloons and joyous music can be heard from the place he stood.

Instead of fifty people who claimed the free tickets, the visitor was reached almost three hundred. Six times more than their expectation.

Most of them were families with their children.

He looks satisfied when they got excited in the ranch.

"Father, look at the horse!" Said a little boy who holding his father hand.

His mom who watched them from behind said, "Be careful, my dear."

Baron smiled before he walked to the amusement park which located near from there.

He was feeling a bit anxious since this place was operated under Grant's magic.

"I won't surprise if it didn't do well. Not every people are easily convinced about magic like my citizen. But, it's okay since the Inn already fully booked. Meanwhile, the ranch is doing good. Hmm, let me think about the profit. Hmm."

His train of mind trailed off when he entered the park. Grant was the one who guarded the entrance. His wife is nowhere to be found.

"Isn't it amazing, Baron?" He grinned widely. "I should build one in Hagrav."

Baron blinked twice after he looked at the crowded park. The line to roller coaster is getting longer. He can heard their bundle of laugh through every attractions.

How can this happen? Weren't they afraid? He asked himself.

"They are so weirdly excited."

Baron nodded and wondered if he can read minds, "You are right, My Lord. I already prepared for the worst."

"Heh? Don't worry." Grant then whispered in Baron's left ear. "I already spread the rumor that Holy Priest is blessing this place."

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"You are too worried. It's safe and sound. I guarantee it." Looking at his interlocutor expression, The Marquess choose to continued his words, "I'm using a magic stone that can be refiled with my power, once in a while.

So, everything will be fine even though I'm moving around. My wife was the one who made it. She is wonderful, isn't she?"

"Ah... yes, My Lord." Baron answered it with a confused face, since he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Too bad, my wife isn't around. I want to go to the Ferris wheel with her."

Baron fixed his glasses position, "Eh? Why? Now you mention it, Duke and Miss Lancia aren't here, too."

"Yes. Something happened and they were left me alone. Sometimes, life is cruel." Grant crossed his arm when answered it.

He didn't know what happened. Unmasked Max and The Holy Priest suddenly appeared with serious face in the library, when Grant was talking with his brother.

Max bowed deeply to them, "Please forgive me toward this rudely presence, Duke Lancia and Marquess Hagrav. But, I need your help, Duke."

A sudden appearance of the second prince is quite surprising even for Armano. But, The Holy Priest is different case.

He rarely visits another place beside the temple or the palace. His arrival to this island must be a hint of something special.

That's why Armano obediently follow them without saying a word, although he has no idea what is happening. Leaving his younger brother who as confused as him.

Then, Kaleela enter the library right after their disappearance.

"Oh, where is your brother?" She asked at that time.

"Gone. More importantly, why don't you bring Cecilia here? The ceremony is almost begun."

Kaleela shrugged. "When I came to that room, the only one I found was Mary. She looks so worried because her employer wasn't there. So, I tried my best to calm her down. It's so difficult, though."

Then, some realization struck to his mind. Cecilia was with Max when he escorted Havana to this Island.

"What does this mean? Just now, Mister Max was here with Holy Priest. They were casually picking up my brother.

And poof! They disappeared. Do you think that something happen with Cecilia?"

"Wait? Holy Priest?" Kaleela frowned.

She doesn't like the Holy Priest. Not because of his trait.

If anything, she was quite fond of his wisdom or his calming charisma. But, they have opposite element that make them feel uncomfortable toward each other.

That why, she prefers not to be in the same room with that old man.

Grant rubbed his chin, trying to found some possibilities. "Do you think Cecilia was sick?"

Kaleela shook her head, "She was fine, yesterday. Oh, wait. Perhaps she got attacked."

"What?!"

"Now, this is made sense. Max already told the Emperor about the Empress real disease. The culprit got panicked and try to attack him. But, for some reason, they were targeting him."

He's massaging his temple, "I don't think so. They don't have enough time for doing that. It's only three hours after his announcement. It's impossible. Besides, only His Imperial Majesty and that crown prince who knew about this."

"Yeah, they must be doing something. But, the fact that Cecilia trapped in danger is unchangeable. Well, I'm still amazed that Max can bring Holy Priest here. As expected from the second prince."

"Yeah, it's surprising, though."

"Grant, can I go back to make the antidote? I think they will try something more dangerous to the Empress."

His brown brows raised. It's weird to see her asking his permission to go, "Yeah. It's okay. But, are you sure? The ingredients which you ordered from Hugo isn't arriving yet."

"I know. However, I need to try something. I got a feeling that I'm close to the answer." Her ruby eyes then fixed to his before she let out a relief sigh, "Anyway, thank you and… I'm sorry. You look so excited to show me that amusement park."

Grant's brain freeze for a moment to processing that words. Then, he smiled so widely and hold her hand, "You are so cute, My Darling."

"Here we go again." She rolled her eyes but didn't let go his hand. "Then, I should go. I'll be back as soon as possible. If you need something, you know where to find me."

After he nodded, Kaleela disappear to her black portal.
