"Emma, it arrived." As I was chatting with my mother in the living room, my father suddenly opened the door looking apprehensive. Behind him, I could see some people.

They were the four adventurers who had helped me earlier. They haven\'t left yet and seem to be enjoying staying here. 

Well, they are helping to protect the village, so everything is fine.

The four adventurers looked apprehensive as they looked at my father. But I ignored them and looked at my father.

And next, I could see a look of panic on my mother\'s face.

"What? What happened to the war? What happened?" Already knowing what the letter my father was holding was about, my mother stood up quickly and ran towards him.

With one swift movement, she snatched the letter from my father\'s hands and then began to quickly read what was written. The more she read, the more her face turned pale.

\'It seems that they talked about everything in this letter.\' I was afraid that they would cover up what happened in the war and the capital, but it seems that I was wrong.

My mother who received all this information began to tremble as she tried to say something. Her mouth opened and closed, she was so scared that she had run out of words.

"That, that... is that true? Isn\'t that a fake letter?" She looked at my father and began to stutter. My father sadly nodded his head confirming that that was not a fake letter.

He even showed the envelope with a seal on it.

"Is that the seal from the castle? I thought we sent that letter to the guild." She said startled.

"It looks like the letter was written by the queen herself. Read behind the letter." At my father\'s words, my mother began to read behind the letter and then turned even paler. My mother threw herself on the couch and took a deep breath.

I could see the dread on her face. But I remained silent.

I already knew about everything, so I managed to stay calm while watching. My father and the adventurers looked at me and thought that I was calm because I didn\'t know what the letter was about.

But you guys are wrong.

"Where is the letter from the queen?"

\'Hm? Have another letter?\'

"Give it to me right away."

"Here it is." My father pulled another smaller envelope from his pocket and handed it to my mother.

"You guys didn\'t open it, did you?" My mother asked as she removed the seal and opened the letter.

"No. The queen says to deliver it directly to you, so I thought it best not to look." My father replied while sweating. He was also very nervous, I could see that his hand was shaking.

My father was hurting his own hand with the force he was putting on it to keep it closed.

"Okay..." My mother said as she read the other letter written directly to her.

"So that\'s it... He..." My mother said as she crumpled up the letter and put it inside her pocket. She then lowered her head and protected her face with her hands.

"Shit, shit, SHIT!" She shouted as she stood up quickly.

At the same time that she appeared angry, I could see that she was quite scared and worried. 

"Damn, why did this shit have to happen? How is this possible?" She screamed as she looked at my father. 

My father not knowing what to say swallowed his saliva and remained silent.

"How was it possible? It doesn\'t make the slightest sense. How is it possible?!!!" My mother whined as she held her head and paced around the room.

"Mom, you need to calm down." Seeing her this way, I tried to talk to her to calm her down.

"How can you ask me to be calm in this situation? Shit!" She moved closer to the wall and punched it. The wall broke a little and my mother clenched her teeth in pain.

"Emma, you need to stay calm now. There\'s nothing for us to do, and also everything seems to be fine already." My father said trying to sound as calm as possible even though his voice was shaky.

"Everything looks fine? Thousands of people have been killed and you think everything is fine? The king is dead and you think everything is okay? What do you think will happen from now on?!"

"Wait, the king is dead?" My father who received new information looked shocked and kept his mouth open in disbelief.

Even I was not prepared for this news. What do you mean the king is dead?

\'Things are worse than I imagined.\' I looked perplexed at my mother as I tried to reason out what she had just said. The goddess hadn\'t told me about the king\'s death, what the fuck?

How could she keep it from me?

\'You stupid goddess! Things are much worse than I imagined!\' I clenched my teeth and began to sweat as I thought about what might happen.

Just like me, the adventurers behind my father and my father didn\'t seem to know how to react, they were silent without knowing what to say.

My mother who noticed what she just said, just stayed quiet and whined in silence.

"Is all this true?" And of course, with all our shouting, Lisandra, Lari, Dala, and Clachel appeared in the room. 

The first to say something was Lisandra. And with her question, everyone just got quiet, so she took that as a positive response. 

She didn\'t start crying, but she looked like she was in shock.

The others were the same way. They didn\'t even have time to mourn, they received so much crazy information at once that they didn\'t know how to react to it.

Looking into their faces, I could imagine what Lisandra, Lari, Dala, and Clachel were thinking.

Their country was destroyed? Are the people they loved dead? Is the king dead?

What kind of crazy things were these?

"So what are you going to do now? Are you going to contact the capital again? Or are you going to travel there?" My father asked. Since it had been a few minutes, they had managed to calm down a bit.

"I don\'t know yet. Maybe I stay here and send them a letter. I intend to at least have them keep me informed about the state of the capital."

"Also ask them to warn us in case any country declares war or anything like that because now the country is more vulnerable than ever." My father said worriedly.

"Yes, yes." My mother looked quite thoughtful.

Everyone was still shaken up, but now everyone was managing to reason things out a little better.

Well, maybe my mother is still pretty shaken up. She looked just as shaken as before, just answering everything quickly and going back to being thoughtful.

But fortunately, everyone besides her was recovering very well from this news.

Especially Lisandra. She went into a state of shock upon receiving the news and stayed that way for several minutes before being "woken up" by Lari. Fortunately, she was recovering now.

And the most worried people in my opinion were Dala and Clachel. They couldn\'t stop thinking about the guild master and also about some friends and neighbors they had left behind. 

But  Lari was managing to calm them down somehow. She doesn\'t even seem like the same person who was desperate when I was sick.

And now that they were better.

All of them, including Lisandra, were in the kitchen preparing tea while they talked and tried to calm down even more.

In the room now were just my mother, my father, me, and the four adventurers.

Speaking of them, they looked quite shocked but seemed quite calm in my opinion.

They don\'t seem to live in the capital, and also don\'t have any friends or family there at the moment, so they were quite calm. But still, they can\'t help but be a little worried.

The capital was "destroyed", the king was killed and the defense was so badly damaged. Nothing was stopping the other countries from trying to invade the whole country this time.

"So, do you think we will suffer another attack?" Carbrand asked Riata beside him.

"I don\'t know. But if our army has been so badly damaged, I can\'t rule out the idea of Nortlein declaring war or something."

"No, no, no. Nortlein has been a friendly country for years, they wouldn\'t attack Southlein right now. I\'m more worried about Beastled. Won\'t they try to make another attack?"

"But shouldn\'t they have done that before?"

"They did it. Didn\'t you read the letter? The capital was attacked and much of the population was killed."

"Yes, but it looks like it was some strange armors or demons. It wasn\'t the main Beastled army that would normally be used in a war."

"Maybe the main army of Beastled was destroyed and only those demons were left."

"That could be it. But who were those armors? Why were they fighting together with Beastled? Aren\'t they demons?"

"That\'s so strange... It\'s a good thing they were destroyed."

"Yes, they probably would have attacked the other cities if they had managed to destroy the capital."

"Yes. And it\'s good the queen managed to survive. She can keep the capital under control for the time being."

"Yep."

I listened intently to Carbrand and Riata\'s conversation as I held back from saying who those armors were.
