Chapter 2241 - : New Start

The allied forces' guards looked at Syndra. At this moment, this noble Queen looked like she was in a lot of pain and was very weak.

They had lost the ones fighting beside them, their friends, and she had indeed lost her son.

The root of all this was the devil that was sealed beneath the spell formation.

That officer from the Roth Empire turned to the side to make way.

The allied forces' guards all parted to form a path straight to the spell formation.

"Thank you, thank you." Syndra bowed deeply to the guards with Vanessa supporting her. After that, she walked slowly down the steps.

They were five kilometers away from the core of the seal. Syndra looked at the dark silhouette standing tall in the darkness on the ice sheets and walked towards it.

"Mother…" Vanessa supported the Queen's feeble body and walked over on the slippery ice with her.

It was too cold here. Even though she was wearing thick cotton clothes, she could feel the cold in her bones. With every breath she took, the cold air felt like an icy knife piercing through her lungs. Walking was even more difficult because of the slippery ice surface.

Her mother's body was so weak, that Vanessa was worried she would collapse before she even reached.

"Get Queen Syndra a snow sledge," said a dragon powerhouse.

Very quickly, a snow sledge and a pack of sledge dogs were sent over.

Vanessa expressed her gratitude and helped Syndra onto the snow sledge. After that, she covered Syndra with a thick blanket. A magic caster came over and cast a warmth forcefield over Syndra.

Very quickly, the snow sledge reached the seal towering in the ice sheets.

Syndra stood up and looked at the black spell formation. Tears fell.

After a very long time, she looked up to the sky and said, "Josh, go on, your soul should go somewhere cleaner. I am here to visit you for one last time. I will use the rest of my life to repay the sins that you have committed."

A strange gust of wind blew over the ice sheets suddenly, whirling above the seal for a while before dispersing.

Syndra watched blankly and smiled. After that, she collapsed in Vanessa's arms.

"Royal Physician! Royal Physician!" Vanessa exclaimed as she held on to Syndra.

The royal physician and a healing magic caster went over straight away. While one diagnosed the Queen, the other used his healing magic to stabilize the Queen's condition.

"Your Highness, Her Majesty's condition has worsened. We can only stabilize her condition temporarily. If she still refuses to eat, I'm afraid…" the royal physician did not finish his words but it was already clear what he meant to say.

Vanessa's expression changed but she quickly calmed down and ordered, "Bring the Queen back to the traveling palace at once and proceed to Chaos City!"

After that, she jumped off the snow sledge and bowed to all the guards once again to express her gratitude and apologies. She turned back to take another look at the towering seal and the vast ice sheets before leaving on the snow sledge without looking back.

After seeing the frontline on the ice sheets for herself, she was suddenly not as upset because she could feel how difficult it was for the allied forces.

They had accepted the call from their leaders to fight against the Army of the Dead. All of this was done to protect the people behind the mountain range.

Josh chose to be the puppet of the devil and from that moment on, he was no longer the Second Brother she knew.

His death at this place, to the Norland Continent and to the millions of people of the Roth Empire, was a good thing.

The flying steeds took to the skies once again and went southwards.

The next morning, the sun rose slowly from behind the horizon, casting its golden rays on the ground.

Syndra, who had a high temperature and had been sleeping the entire night, woke up. With the help of Vanessa, she walked to the window and happened to see the sun shining down on Chaos City, awakening the city from its deep slumber.

Looking down at this large city from high above the ground, one could see the buildings of various architectural designs and styles. It was a completely different view from Rodu.

A smile broke out on Syndra's pale face. She seemed to have felt the beauty of life once again.

Vanessa, who had not slept a wink the entire night, saw the smile on Syndra's face and could not hide her joy. She said softly, "Royal Mother, we're at Chaos City. I'll bring you to eat Boss Mag's breakfast. Let's have tofu pudding."

"Alright." Syndra looked at her. She reached out and caressed Vanessa's face as she said, "I must have given you a scare over the past few days."

"It's alright, as long as you're fine." Vanessa shook her head and hugged Syndra gently, saying as she choked up, "Royal Mother, I will be by your side."

Syndra patted her back gently and smiled.

The Queen's troops had liaised with Chaos City. The golden-winged eagle was permitted to land on Aden Square.

"This is Aden Square. Mamy Restaurant is at the southwestern corner of the square," Vanessa told Syndra as she helped her down.

Syndra looked around and said gently, "It's almost been 20 years since I last came here. You weren't even born back then."

"Royal Mother, you've been to Chaos City before?" Vanessa was shocked.

Syndra nodded and said, "Back then, I accompanied your father on many visits. Other than the Twilight Forest, I have been to all the other lands on the Norland Continent."

There was a horse-drawn carriage in the traveling palace. Vanessa helped Syndra up onto the horse-drawn carriage and they headed straight to Mamy Restaurant.

The sky was only just turning bright. It was just past six in the morning and Mamy Restaurant was not open yet; there was no one queuing outside.

Vanessa looked at the feeble Syndra leaning against the walls of the horse-drawn carriage and jumped out of the carriage. She ran towards the door of the restaurant and rang the bell.

She knew Boss Mag's rules but her mother had not eaten in a very long time and she was so weak she could faint at any time.

The royal physician said that if she were to faint again, she might not be able to wake up anymore.

She was still unable to ingest normal food, so Vanessa's only hope fell on Mag.

Vanessa rang the bell for a while before the door opened.

"Vanessa?" Mag was shocked to see Vanessa at the door.

He had not seen Vanessa for quite a while and she seemed to have lost a lot of weight. Her eyes were red and swollen and there were two dark rings around her eyes. The tiredness on her face was apparent and it seemed she had not been resting well for a very long time. She did not look like the chowhound he knew back then.

"Boss Mag! Please help me with one thing. Can you make breakfast for my Royal Mother? She has not eaten anything for three days and nights. The royal physician said that if she does not eat again, her life will be in danger," Vanessa said as she grabbed on to Mag's arm, as though she was grabbing on to her last hope.

Mag looked at the lavish horse-drawn carriage behind Vanessa. Based on what Vanessa said just now, the Roth Empire Queen was probably sitting in the horse-drawn carriage. On the square further back, Mag could see the golden glow of the giant eagle.

Vanessa came early in the morning all the way from Rodu with the Queen just to beg him to make breakfast?

Although Mag was unclear about the situation, he still nodded and said, "Come on in first."
