The Hero of the Shadow
Chapter 1 Part 5 "The precarious Situation "

On the night of the next day.

Ace, who was forced by the Prince to attend the party, got ready in a black suit and left for the party.

At the party venue at the residence of the Duke Brunhild Family.

Ace arrived by riding a horse carriage that had been prepared by the prince.

Ace was then greeted by the Duke family maids respectfully.

" Mister Ace, come here please follow me "Said the maid while showing Ace the way.

After arriving at the party room indicated by the maid. Ace nervously began to look at the room.

Ace is then accosted by a woman with a man with her.

" Welcome, Mr. Ace" said the woman as she greeted Ace.

Ace responded by saying, "It turns out that the prince and his fiancee think who "

The one who greeted Ace was Anna Brunhild, the fiancee of the prince and the second child of Duke Brunhild.

Richard with a smiling face said "It turns out you came Ace I thought you weren't coming ".

Ace with an exasperated face smilingly replied "It was due to the kindness of the Prince to ease my work in order to come to this party "

They smile at each other .

Then immediately Richard turned his expression serious while saying "Ace there's something I want to talk to you about "

Ace also immediately seriously responded by saying "Then let's change places first "

Richard then agreed to his fiancee to chat with Ace for a while.

Afterwards Richard went to show Ace the way to a room.

In the room where Richard showed me.

There are 4 other people who have gathered.4 such people are the King of work Rose Arthur Rose, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Rose Alex Brunhild, Royal Military Commander Rose Adam Randgrid, Royal Intelligence Chief Rose Isaac Wallace. These 4 people are also the ones who have learned of Ace's true Identity.

Ace sat down on one of the chairs and Richard did.

The king immediately opened the conversation with "Because everything is here let's open the start of the discussion ".

After the King opened the issueac discussion then respectfully and began to speak "A little while ago there was a report of a scout who had been stalking a mysterious gathering the contents of his report were more or less like this " The society is an association that aims to revive the Evil Dragon to destroy the world with the original plan on this day they will destroy the Rose Kingdom as a form of Declaration from them and also as a way to gather negative energy to unseal the Evil Dragon ".

Richard and Ace were shocked to hear this.

" We have deployed the knights to tighten guard because of the report" the army chief said.

" I beg you both to always be prepared for chaos" said the King pleading with Ace and Richard.

Richard worriedly said "Then we should cancel this party "

The army chief responded to Richard's concerns by saying " No need to worry about it we have prepared many guards around this residence and also if we cancel the party suddenly now it will only cause time panic ".

Richard was unable to reply anymore and only fell silent because of this.

Ace also casually said "So I just need to be on standby right? ".

The king replied "Yeah, you just have to be on alert until if the knights are not able to control the mess you can act ".

Ace also casually replied to the command saying "Okay then ".

The king then turned to Richard and said "What about you, Richard? ".

Richard responded by saying "Well, but if there's any chaos on the spot and it threatens Anna, then I'll intervene immediately ".

The king said "Okay then ".

Little info Richard is a very strong knight ranking strong he was even dubbed as the strongest knight in the Kingdom. That's why the King asked Richard for help.

The king then closed the discussion "Then this is the end of our conversation may everyone be safe, jaya keep the Rose Kingdom! "

All of them answered "Jaya continues the Rose Kingdom"

Ace and Richard left the room and went back to the party room.

On a roof of a building in the Royal capital.

A man was with some people and wearing a robe with a black hood.

The man also said "The world is too rotten to live in therefore as a last offering is useful to raise up our god, the evil dragon "Laughing evilly.
