Chapter 41

~ Two Months Later

King Charles had prepared everything to begin a great war against Alice. He had waited a long time for this moment to come. Prince Maxwell and Amora were also eager to launch a massive attack on the Vestinel territory.

Amora wanted to avenge the hurt she felt after Alice took Sandy from her, especially after hearing that they had married. Alice and Sandy seemed so happy amidst her suffering. The people of the healer clan would pay for driving her out like this.

"Amora, what are you thinking?" Prince Maxwell asked, approaching Amora.

"I can’t wait to attack the Vestinel territory. They must face the consequences. I also want to kill Alice with my own hands." Amora's emotions were fiery at the mere mention of Alice's name.

Prince Maxwell smiled, satisfied with Amora’s enthusiasm for the fight. He approached and caressed Amora’s hair, trying to savor the scent of the woman.

"I’m sure we will win this great battle," Prince Maxwell said.

"We must win. I've waited for this moment too long and have been patient."

"We’ve prepared everything thoroughly. Our royal army is strong, and our strategy is tight. There’s no reason to doubt or retreat this time," Prince Maxwell replied with confidence.

Amora was very pleased with Prince Maxwell’s words. This time, they were confident they could defeat Alice and the others. She had to avenge herself.

King Charles and Queen Amber were also eager to attack the Vestinel territory. They wanted to end Alice’s life.

"Our forces will move tonight. Make sure every unit is ready and no one is left behind. Alice will never suspect this attack."

The sound of explosions was deafening. Alice and Sandy woke up immediately. Many people outside were shouting for help. Alice was shocked to see that the area outside was engulfed in flames.

"That’s Prince Maxwell," Sandy said, pointing ahead.

Alice tried to extinguish the large fire using her magical powers. Sandy, Chiki, and Elena joined in to help. The healer clan members also fought against the Estonian Kingdom’s forces. It turned out that Amora was with Prince Maxwell as well.

Amora immediately attacked Alice with lightning. Alice tried to evade and counter with her ice powers.

Sandy and Chiki faced Prince Maxwell, while Elena fought Doran. The healer clan members attacked the royal army.

"We meet again, Alice," Amora said as she launched a lightning attack.

Alice quickly raised her hands and formed a solid ice wall. Meanwhile, Sandy and Chiki struggled against Prince Maxwell’s fire powers, while Elena engaged in a fierce battle with Doran, who wielded dark magic. The royal forces continued to advance, attacking the Vestinel territory.

Prince Maxwell unleashed his magical powers, spreading fire everywhere. Sandy and Chiki were trapped by the flames. This drew Alice’s attention as she tried to help them. However, as she was about to assist Sandy and Chiki, Amora attacked her. Alice quickly turned and dodged.

Amora glared at Alice sharply as her attack missed. They fought fiercely, both wielding equal power.

"You must die, Alice! I won't let you live peacefully!" Amora screamed, repeatedly unleashing lightning.

Alice felt that Amora was becoming increasingly difficult to fight. Prince Maxwell was also growing stronger. Alice had to fight hard to maintain her defense while seeking an opportunity to counter Amora up close.

"You took Sandy from me, Alice! You are so evil!"

"I never took Sandy. We love each other. Sandy never loved you, Amora, and you need to accept that," Alice responded with a fact.

"How can you say that?" Amora was furious hearing Alice’s words. Her eyes were filled with rage.

Meanwhile, sensing Amora’s anger, Prince Maxwell intensified his fire attack. This worsened the situation. Alice knew that if she didn't act quickly, they could be destroyed one by one. Using her ice powers, Alice tried to balance her focus between fending off Amora’s attacks and protecting Sandy and Chiki from Maxwell’s fire.

On the other side, Elena, still fighting Doran, felt the pressure increasing. With a powerful spell, Elena created a magical explosion to attack Doran. The explosion shook the battlefield.

"It seems you’re quite strong. I finally have an equal opponent this time." Doran grinned and transformed into a black mist with high magical power.

Doran moved swiftly, surrounding Elena. Elena tried to stay calm and focused, gathering her energy in large amounts. She realized her opponent was not easy. Elena attempted to activate a protective spell to shield herself from the attack.

As the black mist approached, trying to absorb her power, Elena created another magical explosion. The explosion forced Doran to revert to his human form. Still affected by the previous spell, Doran was thrown backward by Elena’s powerful attack.

However, from an unexpected direction, Elena was struck by a fire attack from Prince Maxwell. Maxwell was annoyed that Doran was thrown so easily by a woman.

The fire attack from Prince Maxwell consumed Elena’s protective spell. Elena felt her body being overwhelmed by the intense heat.

"Elena!"

Seeing Elena in danger, Alice tried to help her. However, Amora tried to block her path. Amora launched another lightning attack.

"Do you want to run away from me, Alice?" Amora asked.

"I’m not afraid of you!"

"Good, our fight isn’t over yet."

Alice quickly threw poison-infused ice crystals at Amora and Prince Maxwell. Amora, seeing the attack, dodged it, while Prince Maxwell was hit by the poison.

"You!" Prince Maxwell glared at Alice with hatred.

For a time, Prince Maxwell couldn’t use his powers. Alice took advantage of this situation to help her friends. Chiki tried to restore Elena’s strength.

"Alice, do you think I’m that weak?" Prince Maxwell asked, beginning to unleash firepower from his hands.

Alice was shocked; the poison didn’t affect Prince Maxwell. Maxwell created a giant fireball to attack them. Alice tried to create an ice shield to protect the others.

"Chiki, quickly restore Elena’s condition."

"Yes, Alice."

Sandy combined his powers with Alice’s to hold off Maxwell’s attack. However, the attack was too powerful to deflect. The ice shield created by Alice began to shatter.

"This is bad!"
