We got inside and sat down at one of the study room, for some reason maximus decided to sit at my grandma's foot (don't know what that about but who cares),then we got to talking.
Tell me brat how was your stay in the forest and what rank of beast can you fight that would give you problems but you won't die to.
Come on Victor he just got back at least let him rest a little, my grandma said.
It's alright Grandma,i kinda won't be resting for a while.
Why is that.
I plan to go with Grandpa to mount kiaza and i will be needing you guys protection for what I'm about to do.
Oh that's interesting,tell me brat what is it that you plan to do there.
I plan to awaken my cores.
What do you mean awaken your cores, first off you have no core and no one has more than one core,my grandma said.
Well I'm kinda complicated,i have Three cores, two in my eyes and the one normal core everyone possess only it can't form without the completion of the first two.
I knew it those eyes of yours were special, this is so interesting let's go now i can't wait to see what happens.
We can't.
Why, Victor asked.
Because we need to wait for the news of my return to be taken to the others by the spies they sent here,if they notice us leaving as soon as i return they will follow instead of reporting back.
Hmmm that true fine we give them a few hours and i will return then you two can come later, Victor propose
That sounds good, now boy since we need to pass time tell us about your stay in the forest of death, Aurelia said.
It was fascinating i almost died twice and both times taught me a valuable lesson each,i fought deferent kinds of beast and even discovered I am immune to illusions.
Oh that's impressive tell us the details.
Hours later
Well that was one hell of a journey bet you are glad this old man took special care of you in those training.
I won't lie it was really helpful so thank you Grandpa.
Bah it was nothing,i should be going now don't make me wait for long, Victor said and then disappeared like he was running away.
Hahahahaha,he is still shy as ever, can't even handle appreciation, Aurelia couldn't stop laughing.
Well why don't we get you guys something to eat before we go, Grandma said while she was paying with maximus face and he nodded.
At the same time in Mount kiaza
What is this about Marius, you know we don't have much time to spend here,i plan to leave here at least at B rank, so i can't be wasting my time like this. Ava Celeste said.
He's back, Marius said with a frown.
Who is back and why the long face, Victor asked.
Dante Miles, and he didn't come back alone he came with a beast at A rank.
How is that possible, where would he have gotten such a beast,he probably saw it dead and brought it back to claim credit or maybe one of his grandparents killed it and staged the whole thing, said Victor.
It was not dead and he was seen riding it into the estate by everyone so it was not staged, Marius said.
Then the Portia must be conspiring with the beast, Victor said with visible fear in his face, after all no kingdom wants to try the beast so if the Portia manage to go under them they will become untouchable.
That is my fear, I have sent words to Father,if this people have betrayed humanity then we are no longer safe here and would need his help to get out of kiaza.
Hum, what if there is another explanation to this unfolding event, Serena interjected.
What do you mean sister, Ava said as they all turned to look at her.
Well you guys think there is only one explanation when there can literally be hundreds, like the beast his actually his guardian that his grandparents provided to protect him on whatever journey he embarked on for all this years.
Or that he found it and trained it from young so now it not only protect him but carry him around. These are all valid explanations than the idea that the Portia where able to convince the beast to protect their coreless grandchild.
That does sound reasonable, think about it what do the Portia's have to gain by betraying humanity just to what, protect someone they already can protect for the rest of his life, which is not going to be long considering he has no core. Ava commented.
That true sisters it seems i must have rushed to my concussion but it still better for father to come here himself, he is the only one that can force an explanation out of these people. No matter what method was used to subdued the beast they must share it so that the kingdom controls it. Marius said
That true brother it must be shared, after all if it allows that coreless brat to control an A rank beast then the royal family should be able to subdued the entire beast domain, we will be unstoppable, even the other race would fear us, well maybe apart from those guys, but the rest certainly would. Victor said
I hate to ruin your dreams but Marius the they discover where he went to all this years, Ava asked.
Hmm that's,I forgot to ask after i received the news of his manner of arrival, besides i don't think they know where he came from if not i wouldn't have to ask before they told me about it.
Well knowing where he went, would shared more light on the current situation and i think we should focus on that before we antagonize Victor the mad and Aurelia the white witch again, after all it didn't end well for us the last time father did that.
You have a point Ava but this are all information we can get once father arrives, so till then we wait.
Same time Kingdom of Ebrae
Would you look at that he is back and he came in style too.
Really mother were the he come from and what do you mean by in style.
He came from the forest of death baby girls and he rode out of the forest on a rank A wolf.
Wait does that mean he is as strong as a rank A , Beatrice asked in shock.
No baby you can't be as strong as your servant and expect to control said person no you have to be stronger and considering the fact that this is a beast he is definitely stronger than a S rank human.
Wow as expected of my future husband not even eighteen years old yet he is basically the strongest person coming into the academy trials, Clarissa said with a big smile on her face.
He is not your husband besides he still doesn't have a core so no matter how strong he becomes he won't live past hundred. Beatrice said
So, is that supposed to be a problem, for me it actually a blessing, the fact he gains unparallel strength for a shorter lifespan means he will be so much stronger than everyone maybe even strong enough to stand close to those guys.
Now imagine what he could accomplish with that strength in the human domain,we can basically unite the whole kingdoms and rule it together and when he dies guess who will remain on the throne,I will give you a hint, ME. Clarissa said.
You know sweetie i love that head of yours, that actually a good plan, now to make sure it works without any mistakes, you both are going to be his wifes.
What why do i have to share my man with her,i already shared a womb with her and it was not nice.
Shut up he isn't yours and the only reason you claim it wasn't nice is because i came out first and now you are scared he will pick me first and you will be the second like you have always been.
Mother I'm going to kill her.
Both girls jump at each other and started rolling on the floor. Ariana didn't mind their bickering, she was used to it by now,both girls were nineteen and had never changed.
It was the reason she wanted them to marry the same man because she thought it would be funny and she can secretly watch them fight each other while being someone else problem.
Just thinking about it, she almost felt pity for the poor soul that would be dumd enough to claim the both of them. What fun times are coming, Ariana taught.
