In Leo\'s opinion, that was a really shocking revelation. King Erskine, the King of Silver Kingdom, might actually just be a fake? If this was in the past, even if Ethan and Crown Prince Edward tried to persuade him to believe such information, he would definitely not believe it, really. After all, they don\'t have any concrete proof to present to him, like this battle going on right this moment.

Obviously, he doesn\'t know what King Erskine was like despite living in Silver Kingdom for almost 20 years. He had only interacted with him once in his life, though he had seen him a few dozens of times, especially during the gathering of Nobles, but it was still not enough for him to determine exactly what kind of person King Erskine is.

Nevertheless, he knows for the fact that King Erskine is a wise and kind King, considering the words that Princess Tiana had told him before about King Erskine secretly protecting him. For him, that was one of the wisest decisions he had ever heard in his entire life. Why? It\'s very simple; if King Erskine really choose to help him, then it might result in discord between the Silver royal family and the Skull Noble Household, and in return it wouldn\'t still be able to help Leo have his revenge in the end because they, of course, can\'t have war with one of the Five Major Noble Households, the most powerful one on top of that as well, just for him, right? Because comparing him and the Skull Noble Household, the latter is obviously more important for Silver Kingdom. But, if King Erskine also ignores him, then the Skull Noble Household would definitely not hold back in trying to kill him, no, at least not the entire Skull Noble Household, but only Richton Skull, because it was only that guy that desires to kill him from the depths of his dark heart. And choosing that decision also dishonor the friendship between his father and King Erskine.

Therefore, King Erskine choose to secretly protect him instead. By choosing to do this, no one will know aside from the real person behind Reinhart\'s death that the Silver royal family is secretly protecting him, which means no one will become unfavorable to the Silver royal family, not to mention this will also not result in discord with the Skull Noble Household. At the same time, this decision would also stop Richton from trying to kill him as well.

Just based on that thinking alone, assuming that King Erskine is wise and kind King is just reasonable.

However, using ordinary civilians to gather resources for making war weapons, using family members as tools for war, and the desperate measure of impregnating Veronica in order to make the Snow Noble Household their pawns; all of those choice doesn\'t show the wise and kind King Erskine that he had believed in the past. In fact, all of his actions were the actions of cowards!

"First brother, to be honest with you, I\'ve also thought of that before. In fact, me and Leo had even discussed it when we were still coming up here." Ethan paused as he slowly walked towards Crown Prince Edward, "But to think of this also means that father is no longer our own father, but rather someone else dressed in his own skin. Would... would you really be able to bring yourself to believe that?"

"If that\'s indeed the truth, then what else can we believe?" Crown Prince Edward replied.

"Then this means we need to kill father..." Ethan said with a grave look on his face.

Hearing that, Crown Prince Edward can\'t make himself reply anymore. That would indeed be their next step of action if the man they are calling father now turns out to be a fake, they need to kill him, in order to serve justice to their dead original father. But the question now is, with those few pieces of evidence only, is it really worth believing that their father is fake? Maybe it\'s because this time the Silver Kingdom was in desperate times, that\'s why it also requires desperate measures to save it.

"I\'ll still say the same words I\'ve said a while ago," Leo suddenly interrupted, "It\'s not worth assuming anything without enough proof. In order for us to know if this is the truth or not, we need to see it for ourselves. But, we would only be able to do that at a later time, so let\'s focus on our current mission first, to escape from this place alive!"

With that said, everyone else put those assumptions to the back of their minds for the moment as they quickly started walking down the secret tunnel to escape.

.....

Meanwhile, Queen Olivia, Queen Maria, Madam Silva, and Elder Rain have already arrived at Heart city while all the soldiers of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance are currently traveling from hundreds or so kilometers away to Heart city to quickly follow behind them. After all, the 4 of them suddenly flew off towards Heart city, leaving every soldier to only wonder why, and since there was no one to tell them the answer to their question aside from the order that they need to go to Heart city, they all decided to run and follow after them, rather than simply march, as it might be because the Heart city is currently under attack. They didn\'t even think of taking a rest anymore in fear of being too late.

"Butler Xiao, where is Leo?" Queen Olivia immediately asked Leo\'s whereabouts the moment she saw Butler Xiao standing in front of the manor\'s main door, seemingly expecting them to arrive already.

This was Leo\'s task to Butler Xiao, to tell Queen Olivia and the others where he is because he had already expected that they would definitely do all they can to stop him, which include rushing with all that they\'ve got just to catch him. Well, they have done everything to forbid him from fighting in the battle due to the reason that they care for him, so it was only reasonable for him to expect that they will rush to save him from them as well.

"He\'s already in Silver city." Butler Xiao replied calmly, without any bit of a worry for his Young Master\'s life in his voice at all. To be honest, he was actually worried, at least by a bit. It was because his trust for his Young Master Leo was heights up above, hence he believes that he\'ll be fine and there is no need to worry.

"Why didn\'t you stop him! Don\'t you know that it\'s nearly impossible to get out of the Silver city once the Silver royal family got the news that Veronica and Princess Tiana has been saved by someone?!!" Queen Olivia scolded Butler Xiao.

"Of course, I know of that, in fact, that\'s the exact reason I used to dissuade him, but you see, he said to me to tell you this; it will be your responsibility to create an opportunity for him to escape." Butler Xiao said.

"That..." Queen Olivia was immediately rendered speechless by the message that Leo had left to them.

"You sure do have a very daring disciple, Queen Olivia, hahaha!" Queen Maria can\'t help chuckling.

"That\'s Leo for you!" Madam Silva smiled.

"He also said that; Ethan, Princess Elaine, and Angel are also inside Silver city with him right now, so if you don\'t want anything bad to happen to us, possibly, then please quickly create an opportunity for us to escape!" Butler Xiao added.

Unbeknownst to Butler Xiao, half of the information he has is actually not real, specifically in the part that Angel is inside the Silver city with Leo. Right now, Angel is currently setting up new explosions with Ash, Jeffrey, Matt, Venice, Number One to Number Ten, George, Charles, and Royal Magical Knight Karl with the help of Levi and Vox. These explosions would be to prepare for the arrival of the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance. Once the battle begins, those explosives would be detonated, hence helping the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance in the battle.

"That brat!!" Queen Maria exclaimed in irritation. She can\'t believe that Leo would actually use her own daughter- and son-in-law to force him to save him.

"He\'s too mischievous!" Madam Silva was left with nothing else to say. Leo\'s action was really forcing their hands to make a move and not conserve anything anymore. It was like he\'s telling them to push with all that they\'ve got, and don\'t mind about the consequences because this is the last battle that will determine the winner of this war, anyways.

"What he is doing right now is somewhat reasonable, rather than try to slowly chip away our enemy, like what we have planned to do before, why not do the same strategy as what we have done in the Southern Fortress? Though this time we would all be attacking the south gate, but it would also make it a lot easier because all of our attacks are concentrated in one point." Elder Rain could only do his best to help his younger brother minimize the consequences he would receive after this war.

"Hahaysttt... this is my fault. If only I didn\'t train him to become so capable, then him knowing a scheme like this wouldn\'t have happened." Queen Olivia heaves a sigh of helplessness.

"It\'s actually not that bad." Queen Maria nodded her head as she became more supportive of having one of her princesses marry Leo.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let\'s go!" Madam Silva said.
