However, before Edwin could see his mother\'s expression, Lillian got up from her seat and walked towards another room.

Edwin\'s heart was now beating faster than ever. It was not that he had never deceived anyone before this, he had deceived the whole Kingdom. But he had never deceived his mother before. And the nervousness that he was feeling was starting to show on his face.

He wiped the sweat beads that were forming on his forehead and thought to himself, "What if mother figured it all out? What if she knows that I have sided with Adeline?"

His heart started to race even faster when he remembered his daughter.

He anxiously clasped his hands together and thought, "She couldn\'t have possibly already found out that we are going to ambush her on the way to Frostford, right? But what if she deliberately tried to drag my wife and daughter because she already knows? She has a lot of eyes and ears around the Palace and village…"

Edwin was forced to think the worst because he had only recently found out about his mother\'s countless crimes. And who was to say that she wouldn\'t be as cruel to her own daughter-in-law and granddaughter?

It was a well-known fact that human beings were selfish beings. Everybody would put themselves first when in the face of danger. In fact, that was exactly what Edwin was doing right now. He was turning against his mother to save himself.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Lillian\'s shrill voice, "Edwin, why aren\'t you coming here? Tell me, what shall I write in the letter?"

"Letter?" he shouted to the other room in a confused voice. He was so lost in his thoughts that he completely forgot that Lillian had offered to write a letter to the King of Mihir.

"Yes, letter to that Vampire King," Lillian shouted back.

"Ah! I will be right there," Edwin replied while getting up and walking towards the next room where his mother was currently at.

Lillian was already sitting in front of a desk with a piece of paper and brush.

Edwin then asked a question to his mother first, "Mother, is it okay for me to visit Mihir from now on? I can take the charge and lighten your burden."

Lillian stared deep into her son\'s eyes and smiled, "Okay. You can handle all the talking from now on. I will make sure to write that down."

"Thank you, mother," Edwin tried to speak as normally as he could.

Lilian started to put down the words in the letter. And after finishing up the letter, she put it inside an envelope and sealed it. She then handed over the letter to Edwin, "Here. I have jotted down everything."

Edwin took the letter in his hand, feeling a little pinch in his heart for betraying his mother.

"You can send the letter on your own, right? Or do you want me to send my men to Mihir?" Lillian asked as she got up from her chair.

Edwin safely put the letter inside his pocket. "No, I will send my own men there. I want to be completely responsible for all of my actions."

"Oh, and before I forget…" Lillian rummaged through her drawer and took out a jade token and presented it to her son.

Edwin just kept on staring at that strange-looking object. So Lillian clarified, "This is a pass token which the previous King of Mihir gave to me. If you show it to the guards of Mihir then they will let you enter anywhere without being questioned. You might want to give it to your messenger so that he can cross the border."

Edwin carefully lifted that token from his mother\'s palm. A smile curved upon his lips. "Thank you, mother. I will make sure not to lose this precious token."

Lillian then walked towards her bedroom again. Edwin also followed her but Lillian abruptly stopped in the middle of her bedroom and then turned around to look at her son.

And she said in a little tired tone, "Edwin, I want to rest for now. You should also go and spend more time with your family. Don\'t make them feel neglected."

Edwin smiled and then nodded his head. "I will let you rest then." He turned around and then walked out of the room.

Rather than going to his quarter first, he went to his servant\'s quarter and then handed over that letter to his personal messenger. "I want you to deliver this letter to the King of Mihir. I want this letter in his hand on the earliest day possible. And bring the reply back with you if the King gives one."

Edwin also handed over the jade token and some coins to him. He pointed at the token and said, "This will let you pass through the border without questioning. And make sure that you keep it safe. You will have to return this token back to me."

"Yes, Your Highness. I will deliver the letter and come back with a reply." The messenger bowed his head to the Prince and Edwin sent him off to Mihir at that instant even though it was already nightfall.

As that man was the messenger, he had one of the fastest horses. He untied his horse from the stable and then set off on the journey.

Unlike Queen Lillian, that messenger took the direct path to Mihir rather than going through Frostford.

He only stopped for eating breaks and short naps along the way. And for the rest of the time, he just rode the horse at the top speed as if the life of the King depended on the delivery of that letter.

And after two days, he finally reached in front of the Mihir Palace. He showed the token and entered the Palace without any disturbances and problems.

He was then led towards the throne hall by one of the guards.

That guard made him wait outside the door of the throne hall of King Reginald and entered the hall alone. He bowed to the King and said, "Your Majesty, a messenger has arrived from Wyverndale."

King Reginald was sleeping on his throne without any shame. But when that guard said that a messenger had arrived from Wyverndale, he instantly woke up. He had been daydreaming about Adeline almost every day and his mind made him believe that it was the letter from the Princess.

"A letter from Wyverndale? Is it from Princess Adeline? Tell me it is from Princess Adeline." King Reginald asked with an excited tone.

But he was soon disappointed when the guard said, "The messenger said that he is here with the letter on behalf of Prince Edwin, the first son of Queen Lillian."

The smile from Reginald\'s face faded away instantly when he heard the name of Queen Lillian, the very person he was trying to avoid answering to right now. And to add to that, her son was starting to pester him now.

He rolled his red eyes and whispered to himself, "Great! Now my mood is all ruined."

He sighed and unwillingly gestured his guard to let that messenger inside the throne hall.
