Chapter 272: The demon is about to be unleashed

As the cold breeze whipped through the night, Hamon’s horse was still riding in full speed, and despite how the cold wind fiercely blew against his face, he did not bother to slow down.

It was already pitch dark in the night, with no moon in sight, but he could see his way clearly. All he could think about was getting home, even his men riding behind could not catch up to his pace.

Hamon’s horse was about to ride past a certain area, when his eyes caught sight of some men carrying torches. At first he did not bother with who they were, until he saw their uniforms. He narrowed his eyes and noticed that they were soldiers of the palace. He quickly pulled his horse’s reins, and directed the horse towards the place the soldiers were. He saw how they were urgently rushing around with torches, and the fear in his mind surged against his will.

’...it shouldn’t be what I am thinking.’

One of the soldiers noticed Hamon arriving on his horse, and hurried towards him anxiously, "Your majesty?" The soldiers voice slightly trembled in fear.

"What are you all doing here? What is going on?" Hamon demanded as he swiftly dismounted his horse, and looked down at the soldier impatiently.

The soldier hesitated, but quickly spoke when he met those fierce red eyes, "...Her majesty...She wanted to go and meet you in Bredon because we hadn’t heard from you in all those days you were gone, we decided to camp here for the night, but her majesty went to take a stroll with four soldiers...Some unknown men suddenly attacked them, and since then we couldn’t find her."

Hamon, who had been listening impatiently to the soldier turned red in rage, his red eyes blazed, "You couldn’t find her?! How long has it been?" He demanded with a thundering voice.

The soldier flinched, "I-it’s been a few hours now..."

"Hours? My wife has gone missing for hours and you’re all still here! How could you let her take a stroll with only four soldiers."

At Hamon’s furious outburst, the soldier dropped to his knees, "M-mercy, Your majesty, we did not expect an attack to happen."

Hamon did not respond to the soldier and instead turned towards Oliver who just arrived at the scene with his other men on their horses, "Oliver, look around for any signs, check for any horse or carriage prints."

"Yes, Your majesty." Oliver had already heard about the queen’s disappearance when he arrived just now, and he was familiar with Hamon’s temper and also knew if they didn’t find his wife tonight...hell might come lose again. Thus, he quickly gathered the soldiers who came with Ara to begin the search, when another young soldier suddenly came running towards them from the direction of the high cliffs,

"I found something!" The soldier yelled. His words drew everyone’s attention towards him.

Hamon stared at the soldier, "What did you find?" He asked, but the young soldier looked taken aback as he hadn’t expected to find the king here, but sensing the dark angry energy radiating from Hamon, he quickly answered, "On the high cliff, it looks like a fight had taken place there."

Hamon did not wait to waste anymore time talking to the soldiers, he took the torch from them and ran towards the high cliff by himself. He climbed up easily, and finally arrived at the top of the cliff, on the ground were several dead bodies of men.

Hamon stopped dead in his tracks, "Did...my wife come here? Did she fight all these men?" He mused. He imagined Ara fighting all these bulky men alone while trying to save herself from them, and a dark feeling mounted his heart as rage flooded his veins. His clenched fist trembling uncontrollably, as he recalled he had passed below this cliff earlier and felt her presence.

’How dare they touch my wife...’

Hamon tried to keep his rage in check and began to investigate the scene further instead. He walked around the area, and looked around with the torch in one hand, just then, his eyes caught sights of a purple pearl bracelet on the bloodied ground, which Ara usually wore on her wrist as it had once belonged to her mother and was later given to her by her father on the day of their wedding.

Hamon slowly bent over and picked up the bracelet. Just as he stood up straight, Oliver finally arrived at the scene, looking concerned, "Your majesty, did you_Ah!" He quickly shut his mouth as the light from the torch reflected on Hamon’s face. Purple veins were starting to appear on his forehead to his neck, his red eyes blazed dangerously, and sharp long claws began to pierce through his fingers, dripping red blood, but he didn’t so much as flinch. The demon was about to be unleashed, and if it was, there could only be a bloodbath until he found his wife.

Oliver tensed up immediately when Hamon’s red eyes turned towards him. His eyes were as icy as a blizzard, and the air around chilled up even double from his cold fury, even his voice sounded different as he spoke,

"Gather all my army, we look for my wife even if we have to turn Findara up side down!"

Hamon’s eyes fell on the trail of blood on the cliff ground and also on the bracelet, "if even a single drop of this blood belongs to my wife...whoever is behind this will die a miserable death and regret ever being alive." He stated darkly, burning flames suddenly appeared in his hand from no where, and he set all the dead bodies on fire.

Despite the flames burning on the cliff grounds, Oliver couldn’t help but shiver slightly as a cold chill ran down his spine, not from the cold of the night, but from the fury radiating from Hamon, he recalled the last time Hamon’s demon had emerged, he had gone on a killing massacre not even caring about who were his men or not as he set on killing everyone, dread filled Oliver and he quickly bowed, "Y-yes, your majesty!"
