640 Commencing The Migration

"Hey, something's not right. Why hasn't the warrior from beyond the mountain come out yet?"

"Yes, something is definitely wrong. Could the Queen have gathered us here for another matter?"

"You! What are you saying? Why would the Queen use such a method to gather all of us here? Isn't she strong enough to summon us here at will? Look there; even the rest of the other five Major clans, the Prismaflow Clan and the Luminaris Clan, are present. Let's wait first and see how they will react."

"Yes, as the last remaining Major clans, they must surely be cautious of the Queen and the Crystalforge Clan, finding a way to bring them down. So, if anything happens, they wouldn't want to miss this opportunity and speak out first against the Crystalforge Clan."

As the voices of the citizens of the Prismerian Kingdom echoed one by one, it soon escalated into a clatter of murmurs that immediately filled up the surrounding area.

Unlike the rest of the five major clans and the lesser clans and families, who were aware of the new status quo in the kingdom, the citizens were not privy to such information.

For all they knew, the Crystalforge clan had seized back control of the kingdom with the help of the warriors from beyond the mountain, and a few other powerful Crystalforge elite warriors that had suddenly emerged from nowhere. These warriors were credited with capturing the Luminaris Clan, who had supported the Gemheart Clan in attacking the Castle.

As a result, the Luminaris Clan was now a subordinate clan.

So, as far as the citizens of the Prismerian Kingdom were concerned, the five major clans were still present. However, they had only been intimidated by the strength of the Crystalforge clan and could only bow their heads down until they came up with a way to compete with the Crystalforge Clan.

The Clan Leaders of the Quartzwraith clan and the Prismaflow Clan heard their voices and couldn't help but feel their eyes twitch in annoyance.

Hey, can't you see that we are also here, packed with our things, and waiting for the warrior from beyond the mountain to come and take us outside the mountain as well?

Even if we are biding our time, what makes you think it's to attack the Crystalforge clan? Bless Naka, are you aware of the Crystalforge Clan's strength now?

The previous five Major clans couldn't help but shake their heads when they thought about this. Rather than fight against the Crystalforge Clan, they were naturally here not only to see what the Queen and the warrior from beyond the mountain, that planned to take them outside the mountain but also to determine who would be favoured most by the Crystalforge Clan so that they could all know where they currently stand and act accordingly.

Meanwhile, from above, on a makeshift platform outside the Castle, Queen Selene heard the voices of the inhabitants of the Prismerian Kingdom. She couldn't help but deeply frown before a sigh escaped her lips.

Even she would be overwhelmed and doubtful about what was currently happening if she hadn't yet listened to Orion's plan, so instead of feeling angry about the murmurs of the citizens of the Prismerian Kingdom that were growing stronger by the second, she hoped that Orion would appear and clear all of their doubts the same way he had done with hers.

Suddenly, Queen Selene noticed two figures running towards her from the corner of her eye and immediately snapped her eyes in their direction. Seeing that it was Crystalia and one of the warriors from beyond the Castle, Fifi, whom she had gotten acquainted with and found out was one of Orion's wives, making her Crystalia's other sister.

Though she is happy that Crystalia will have capable people to take care of her when she's gone, Queen Selene can't help but feel heartache when she thinks about her condition and that of her husband.

Soon, they arrived before her.

"Mom," Crystalia shouted as she jumped on Queen Selene, wrapping her arms around her on the stage.

Queen Selene returned the hug without care, within the gazes of so many people.

"Are you okay now? How are you feeling?" Queen Selene asked, calmly brushing her hand against Crystalia's long, crystal-white hair bangs.

Crystalia nodded in response, "I'm okay. In fact, I feel so much better now," Crystalia responded.

Hearing her daughter's response, a smile emerged on Queen Selene's face.

Orion was a good match for her daughter; he had already helped return her to her usual self. Queen Selene sighed deeply, thinking about how he had also helped her return to her previous form. She turned her head towards Fifi, "Where is Orion? Will he be here soon?" Queen Selene asked impatiently, wanting to know when he would arrive since he had yet to come with Crystalia and Fifi.

The last thing she wanted was a commotion suddenly erupting out of nowhere, as she was sure the end results wouldn't be worth it.

Fifi nodded in response, "Yes, he will be here soon. He told me that he wanted to fetch some things from the Garden before he arrived," Fifi responded, her eyes fixed on Queen Selene.

Queen Selene nodded in understanding. She was sure Orion wanted to get the god at the bottom of the Garden and fetch the Guardians of the Garden, as they would have to come along. Regardless, she hoped that Orion would make it here on time.

"Don't worry, mom. Orion said that he would be here soon, so I believe that he would," Crystalia said with a smile, trying her best to cheer up her mother.

Queen Selene smiled lightly before she nodded in response.

"Of course, I believe that he will. Why don't you stay with the rest of our clan members until we begin," Queen Selene said, pointing at the Crystalforge clan members who were beside the stage, heavily guarded by the palace guards and the surviving Crystalforge elite warriors, with the other warriors from beyond also standing beside them.
