Chapter 5072
"The Archfiend sent a search around the island, but there was no news. We thought they’d
died at sea, but that seems not to be the case." "Oh, right. One of the two men's name is
Ambrose Darby. Darryl Darby's son. " As he spoke, Forsythe clenched his fists as his gaze
looked positively murderous.
Back when Ambrose and Neil had fought against Antigonus, Forsythe had also come to
watch the battle. Upon hearing Morticia's description, he immediately thought the Young
master must be taken away by the two men.
Darryl Darby's son?
At the words, Morticia's chest thudded as her nerves morphed into a strange feeling.
"They came onto the island? And were heavily wounded?" She had been cultivating in the
private room and thus knew nothing about this.
"Yes."
Forsythe nodded, saying viciously, "They sure have some nerve, daring to return even
after being heavily wounded to take the Young Master away for blackmail. They must have
a death wish." "Don't you fret, Your Highness. The Dragon King Island is completely
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsurrounded by the ocean, and the islands nearby are all abandoned. They can't have
gotten too far. I'll gather my men now to get the Young Master back."
As he spoke, Forsythe moved to send for help.
"Hold it!"
Yet Morticia grew anxious, stamping her feet. "Don't be so rash."
Uhh...
Forsythe stood wherever he was, unable to hide the nerves on his face. "If we don't send
help out immediately, we might be too late."
Morticia bit her lip, unable to hide her anxiousness. "Those men told one of the servants
that they wanted a young girl named Heather in exchange for my child."
As she spoke, Morticia tried to hold back her anger. There were over twenty thousand
people on the Dragon King Island, and they had been no match against two young men.
How embarrassing.
Exchange?
At the words, Forsythe stopped short before replying in an unreadable tone, "Your
Highness, are you saying... we're going to swap with them?” How would the Dragon king
Island's reputation uphold the repercussions of such news spreading around the world?
Morticia nodded solemnly. "Indeed."
She knew well enough that the swap would cause the Dragon King Island quite a bit of
humiliation, but there was no other choice. Her child's safety was of utmost importance.
She could lose the Dragon King Palace or anything else of her possession, but she could
not lose her child.
Upon nodding, Morticia stared intently at Forsythe. "Do you know that girl Heather?" "Yes!"
Forsythe nodded hastily and answered, "I've seen her before too. She's beautiful and
pretty powerful too. Apparently... she's the princess of the Sea Mackie Clan."
Whew...
Upon knowing so, Morticia nodded. "They seem like pretty powerful people, alright. Well,
we mustn't slip up in the slightest. My child's safety is of utmost importance." "So, you
need to bring Heather out for the trade."
Sensing Morticia's nerves, Forsythe nodded. "I understand. Don’t worry, Your Highness. I'll
make sure to bring the Young Master back safely."

As he spoke, Forsythe gave it some thought before testing it out cautiously. "About that. If
you think about it, if you show up along with the
Honorable Archfiend, we wouldn't have to do an exchange and be able to get your child
back..."
Antigonus was strong enough. With his help, nothing would go wrong.
Yet before he could finish his sentence, Morticia cut him off. No, that can't do. I can’t show
myself, and the Archfiend mustn't hear of this."
She had borne Darryl's child, which already went against Fiend's rules. This had already
displeased Antigonus greatly. If he were to find out that the child had been taken away, he
would not only refuse to give any help and even stop Morticia from making the exchange.
After being under Antigonus for so many years, Morticia knew him well enough to know
that he could not find out about this.
As for herself, she wanted nothing more than to go to the exchange herself. Yet
considering the fact that doing so might rouse suspicion on Antigonus' end, she held back.
Seeing the stormy look on Morticia's face, Forsythe did not dare to ask any further
questions as he nodded. "Alright!" "Remember!"
Morticia still could not still herself completely. She stared intently at Forsythe. "You'll be
the only one who knows about this, and the people you bring must be trustworthy. Also,
don't let the Archfiend find out.”
