"That ungrateful son ran away without even giving us a chance to talk. He just sent one of his bodyguards to come and tell me what he had done and that we should run away while there was still time." She said with great disappointment in her voice, feeling the weight of the death sentence that her son had thrown on her shoulders.

This woman loved her son, but not as much as she loved herself or her husband.

Considering this and that she was already planning to act against him to prevent a betrayal from happening within the family, she could not help but be furious in this situation.

Her son had ensured her demise and that of the entire family!

Their reign was over.

There was no way they could continue in this place, or sooner or later, the forces of the Spiritual Church would eliminate them. Worse, even if they ran away, there was no guarantee that they would last, and they would most likely meet their end in the long run!

With that, when King Vogel heard his wife, he lost all his remaining patience and shouted with hatred, feeling that he had been too soft on Abe.

"What a bastard! How could he?" He shouted angrily, making the entire residence shake with his mighty force.

The Spiritual Saints in his group were full of negative feelings as well, but they were colder than the king, and soon one of them said something. "Your Majesty, what shall we do now? Although this is a hard betrayal to accept, we cannot wait to act! The Church forces could come after us at any moment!"

King Vogel looked at that man and shook vigorously for a few seconds, turning all red as his head felt like it was going to explode.

"Honey, I have already ordered the family to withdraw. The most important members are already being told to escape." The queen approached him and said in a softer tone. "Now we must leave. We can't look back, or the worst may happen!"

"But what about the local members of the Church? They will notice our action..." He commented as he felt it difficult to let go of the crown.

"If they stand in our way, we must eliminate them!" She said with determination. "If they try anything, it means the worst has already happened. In that situation, we can only eliminate them to ensure our escape is as successful as possible!"

The generals of the royal guard agreed with the queen, feeling that it would be a shame to have to fight some of their friends but that it would be necessary in case those individuals stood against them.

"All right, let's do it..." As he sighed, the king finally made up his mind, feeling terrible for all the things that had happened today.

That seemed like another day to him in the early morning, but who knew? Everything had fallen top to bottom in just a few hours, with the quiet King Vogel reaching the point of having to relinquish his crown!

...

Within moments of the queen's conversation with the king, citizens of the Vogel capital could see groups of Spiritual Church members gathering in the vicinity of the royal palace.

But considering the unexpected event that had happened earlier, many of the local citizens just watched the situation with curiosity, thinking that this must be related to the phenomena from earlier.

Even royal guards and high-ranking Vogel family vassals in the vicinity looked at this movement with interest, many stopping what they were doing to follow it.

And as the groups gathered on the outskirts of the royal palace, a few people landed at the entrance to this estate, most dressed in red and one wearing a mask and golden armor.

"Patriarchs, Matriarch, to what do we owe the visit..." One of the royal guards nearby was just about to ask them that, ignorant of his situation, when he was interrupted by the leader of that group.

"Where is King Vogel? Where is Abe? Bring them here immediately! We have an urgent matter that needs to be taken care of!" This white-haired woman said this while feeling the nervousness of having to do something like this for the first time in her long life.

What she feared most was that everything Minos had said was true, that the Vogel family was on the run at this very moment.

She would be angry if Minos tried to use them to deal with the Vogel family unfairly. But this woman would prefer this instead of what he said, that he was lying!

But she was bound to be disappointed!

"Damn it!" One of the Spiritual Saints who already knew what was happening saw Minos' group from afar, particularly this young man with a mirror sphere in his right hand. 'They're already here! They won't make our escape any easier, Your Majesty!' He said as he used his innate ability, Spiritual Voice, to communicate with the king.

He had an instrumental communication talent, so his post was naturally that of the chief watchman of this palace, who gave the information about the security of this place to the king.

So while the core of that organization was making its way to its escape, he was communicating with its leader.

"Shit!" King Vogel heard the voice in his mind and cursed, feeling that a fight would be necessary.

It would do no good if old people like himself and his wife fled this place, and the young people who could continue the family perished because they did not have a chance to escape. So, naturally, he would not simply leave and was willing to buy more time for the descendants of his family!

His wife understood this and would not let her husband stay behind fighting alone. Hence, she soon went over to his side, intending to join the stronger ones on this estate to buy time for the weaker ones!

Meanwhile, Minos' group noticed that such an estate seemed very agitated in a region opposite where they were, with a lot of spiritual energy flowing away from them.

"They're running away!" One of the Spiritual Saints finally said this as he was sure that such movements were those of an escape, not something else.

With that said, those people became more severe, and the woman gave her signal.historical

She picked up a small statue of a six-winged angel and then broke such a thing by throwing it on the ground.

When that leader of the local Church outpost did that, a unique energy flow broke from that thing, forming the image of a giant golden seraph in the sky above that area.

"Perry Vogel!" She shouted with all her might, causing even the people outside that palace to hear the king's name being shouted by that angry voice.

"You damned traitor! Surrender now! I am taking custody of this property. You are all under arrest!"

"I want to see if you can escape like your son!" Her voice spread for hundreds of meters as every single member of the Church outside that palace realized that the worst had happened.

Her voice then rang out once again. "Men, attack with everything you have those who do not surrender. Don't let a single one escape! The Vogel family has committed a grave crime and is now under judgment by the Spiritual Church!"
