Outside, Ashton witnessed the scene and quickly stepped up to stand beside Nathan, both prepared to force their way through the guards.
The confrontation was moments away from turning physical. Neither side would go all out, but the sight of it still made their older sistersâ hearts ache.
âVeronica, let Nathan take the lead this time. He is the future of our family.â
âThatâs right. I support Nathan as well!â
âA true citizen takes responsibility for their country. Nathanâs words truly moved me!â
âHeâs finally grown into a real man!â
One by one, Nathanâs sisters spoke up, urging Veronica to give in.
Veronica let out a long sigh. âSince you all feel this way, then weâll risk everything this time.â
She had always wanted to fight alongside her brother, but this family was not hers alone to decide for. Now that Nathan had taken the lead, and all her sisters had thrown their support behind him, the family could stand unitedâno more hesitations, no more doubts.
âFinally!â Nathan shouted in excitement as his second sister finally relented. âThen hear me now! Everyone in the Chapman family, grab whatever weapons you can and come with meâwe are defending Congress!â
âLetâs go!â Audrey was the first to respond, rallying behind her brother.
One by one, the others followed. Men, women, young, and oldâthe entire Chapman family mobilized.
The sight of it deeply moved Ashton. This was a battle that would decide the fate of Chanaea, and she was honored to stand alongside them.
Meanwhile, Hattie and Blake hadnât gone to meet up with the Chapmans. Instead, following the silent message in Magnusâ eyes, they arrived at the grand estate where Emmanuel had previously stayed.
There, they found Xylie.
Just as Magnus had predicted, the Two Saints of Silver Dragon and Savage Tiger were indeed here, recovering from their injuries. Their caretaker was none other than Xylie.
The two old men had failed to catch the masked figure they had been chasing. So, their first instinct was to come check on Janeâs daughter.
As they sat with Xylie, they couldnât help but be struck by how much she resembled her motherânot just in appearance, but in demeanor.

Like Jane, Xylie possessed a delicate, almost fragile aura that effortlessly stirred a manâs protective instincts. But beyond that, she carried an undeniable femininityâgentle, nurturing, and deeply caring.
The two old masters had never won Janeâs heart, but now, they sought solace in her daughterâs presence, allowing her to care for them as they recovered from their wounds.
Hattic, led by Xylie, burst into the room where the two legendary warriors were resting.
âYouâve got to be kidding me! Do you two old men really have the luxury of lying around playing dead at a time like this?â
Blake had never been one to hold his tongue. With chaps raging outside, the Two Saints of Silver Dragon and Savage Tiger were lounging here, enjoying their downtime. It was impossible for him not to voice his frustration.
Yorick immediately frowned.
Blake instinctively stepped back. Even though Yorick was his elder brother, if he got serious, Blake wouldnât stand a chance.
âHaha, whatâs going on?â
Unlike Yorick, Santiago was more easygoing. Though he had spent the past two days recovering from his wounds, he had a good sense of what was happening outside. Now, he wanted to hear the full story.
âMasters, Emmanuel, all of us, and Chanaea itself need your help!â Hattie was direct and composed as she pleaded, âEmmanuel is leading Wolf Warrior against an army of a hundred thousand outside Zovince!
âMeanwhile, Ezra Zelinsky and Gautier Verkade are attempting to seize Congress through treason. If they succeed, they will overthrow the entire Chanaean government. Right now, the only ones who can stop them are the two of you!â
She even called out her fatherâs name directlyâbecause she had nothing but hatred left for the Zelinsky family.
Santiago exchanged a glance with Yorick.
âWhy should we bother?â Yorick spoke up, his voice as cold as ever. âEspecially me. I hold nothing but hatred for Chanaea and Artemis Bartonâs faction.â
Xylie trembled slightly at his words.
âLord Dotson, stop pretending,â Hattie interjected, her voice urgent. âIf you truly resented Artemis Bartonâs faction, you wouldnât have spared Ethan Hale back at Divine Mountain, The ones you hate are the people who framed youâthe very same people working with Ezra! Donât you see?â
She wasnât privy to the full details, but her deduction was close enough. Even if Ezra hadnât orchestrated the whole thing, he was undoubtedly involved.
âI simply didnât have the chance yet.â Yorick remained indifferent.
âOh, come on, Yorick! Drop the act! Itâs painful to watchâ Blake finally stepped forward again, unable to hold back. âWe may not talk much, but youâre still my brother. We share the same blood. If I were in your position, I could never serve the Shoiyan! I know your heart was always here. Now that youâre back in Chanaea, fight for it once moreâjust like you did on the Tocvale battlefield!â

His words struck a nerve. Even Santiago squinted and smiled, reminiscing about the days when the Dragon, the Tiger, and the Phoenix fought side by side in their youth. If Yorick took action, Santiago would undoubtedly take up his silver spear once more and fight for Chanaea.
âMr. Dotson, Mr. Santiago, please, help us defend Congress!â
Xylie wasnât one for cloquent speeches. She could only plead with sincerity.
But that was all it took.
Yorick rose to his feet.
At that moment, Simba, as if sensing his masterâs call, suddenly leaped to the doorway, startling Xylie.
âSantiago, what are you waiting for?â Yorick vaulted onto Simbaâs back and grinned challengingly. âWe never settled our duel at Divine Mountain. Letâs see who takes down more enemies this time!â
Without another word, he spurred the tiger forward and disappeared into the night.
âYou think Iâm scared of you, you yellowâstriped cat?! Hahaâ¦â Santiago let out a hearty laugh, twirled his silver spear, and mounted his steed.
As the two warriors stormed off, Xylie stood frozen, stunned. Are they really my motherâs suitors? Sheâs really something else!

âUgh, I talk my mouth off, and one beauty says a single sentence, and thatâs what convinces them?â Blake scoffed but quickly caught himself.
Something felt off.
Hattie was a renowned beautyâone of the Four Beauties of Zovince, no less. When she had traveled to Yeringham, Xylie had still been an unknown girl hiding in the shadows.
Realizing he was digging himself into a hole, Blake coughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. âAhem⦠I should go help, too! Itâs my turn to be a hero!
With that, he bolted before he could say anything else embarrassing.
Hattie finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the Two Saints of Silver Dragon and Savage Tiger in action, they were worth more than an army of thousands. She turned to Xylie, taking her hands with a warm smile. âThank you, Ms. Tanner. If Chanaeaâs order is restored, you will have played a crucial role.â
âMâMe? What does this have to do with me?â Xylieâs face turned crimson.
She and Yuna were complete opposites. Yuna thrived on attention and recognition, while Xylie to stay out of the spotlight.

Meanwhile, at Congress, Gautier led the Grand Hunt Alliance, launching a fullâscale frontal assault.
At the same time, Gwain needed no persuasion from Magnus. The moment he heard that war had erupted, he led the Lannister familyâs elite fighters straight to Congressâ back entrance.
His fatherâs words still echoed in his earsâthe Lannisters must seek not only prestige but also real power.
