Walking towards the office felt like an eternity to Seraphiel.
I wonder where Calux Voidbane is, I don't head training and I haven't seen him anywhere on this mansion, only maids and butlers...
"Are you looking for someone? Perhaps my son?"
Celine asked in a cold voice while walking in front of her and not even looking at her.
How did she know?!
A redness could be seen on her ears, as the question hit her differently now that she was in this woman's house and she was actively looking around for her son out of curiosity.
Cough..
"My mother told me that the Duke said to trust the Duchess and her son with my... situation..."
"I saw he awakened as an S rank, therefore I assumed at this time of the day he'd be around or training in the training area we passed before."
Celine chuckled amusedly.
"Oh did my husband say that? Hm.. I wonder..."
"Well you won't see Calux, he obtained a rather... interesting ability, and he is training within that ability, he trains for eight hours a day and comes out for food and sleep, he is on a tight deadline, and he wants to get as strong as possible before the academy starts."
As expected, he had my same mentality... Is he like me perhaps?
Can there be such a coincidence as two sovereigns appearing on the same place?
"I understand."
Arriving at the office, Celine sat down on the chair on the side that faced the door with a luxurious chair, while gesturing to Seraphiel to seat in front of her.
After they were both seated, Celine did not speak, she used a letter opener and broke the seal, taking out the letter with gentleness.
"This is definitely his hand writing..."
You could hear the sadness and melancholy in her voice.
Seraphiel felt her emotions, she missed her husband.
For a few minutes neither spoke as Celine read the contents of the letter.
However, Seraphiel could see the changes in expressions that she made.
First it was shock, then amusement, then shock again, finally acceptance.
"It seems there are two Sovereigns in this planet... Is this fate? This damn sister in law of mine didn't even say anything about this to Calux or I, saying it was a surprise in the letter..."
Celine murmured, but Seraphiel caught some of it.
So it's true... He also had his potential sealed...
"Well Seraphiel, my dear husband and sister in law decided that I should train you and help you before your enrollment, saying that you and Calux had some 'fate' together."
Seraphiel stiffened at the words thinking she had been sold as a wife before even knowing the guy, but Celine wore an amused look.
"Don't worry, I don't mean it that way, fate can be mysterious, based on this letter, Sovereigns haven't been born for over 300 years, and now..."
"Two were born on the same day near each other..."
Seraphiel completed her sentence.
"Yes...", Celine said absentmindedly.
"Well in order to train you and get you to a good spot before the academy I first need to know about your abilities and affinity, I know my sister in law left enough resources for you to reach a good enough rank to be on the top fifty for the academy, so that's one less thing to worry about.."
Seraphiel nodded quickly, and started explaining her abilities, bloodline, affinity and her ranks.
After a few minutes, Celine looked at Seraphiel with a complicated look.
"Well it seems you will be a little monster just like my son..."
"Calux is a special case... Both his talent and his bloodline are Transcendent..."
"I was wondering about that... Where does that put us after SSS rank, considering that is the highest we know right?"
"Yes... After the SSS rank comes Mythic, then Supreme, and finally Transcendent..."
Seraphiel was shocked to know that there were three entire ranks after the fabled SSS rank that no one on this planet had been able to reach.
"Althought it sounds like three ranks, it's anything but... After the SSS rank, those three ranks are essentially God ranks, don't let the amount of ranks deceive you."
A cold sweat appeared on Seraphiel's back when thinking about this.
God ranks...
So everything is true.
"Since you trusted me with everything, I will trust you with everything as well..."
"Calux is not just another Sovereign... He is a double Sovereign."
Seraphiel stared and Celine in shock.
"You are saying, that on top of a Sovereign not being born in 300 years, Calux Voidbane was born as a double Sovereign?"
"Yes... He is the Sovereign of the Void and the Sovereign of the Sword..."
"Woah..."
A small smile appeared on Celine's cold face, thinking about how broken of an existence her son was, it brought happiness to her.
"Wait... Did you say void... As in nothingness and annihilation?"
"Huh? Yes... ", Celine responded not understanding her question for a moment.
But then... Celine understood what she meant.
"Oh... Wow... Fate really is something..."
These two kids are each others yin and yang...
Seraphiel nodded absentmindedly...
Fate huh... I wonder what it has in store for us as exact counter parts of each other...
..
For eight weeks, Celine trained Seraphiel in the ways of the sword, and helped her understand the essence of weapons going to smithy's and such so she could improve her weapon constructs.
By the end of the run, Seraphiel was an extremely adept sword and spear wielder, but the most impressive things were her humanoid constructs to which she created weapons for and fought for her.
She trained fighting her separated consciousness, allowing the use of her construct fighting alongside her which was extremely beneficial, and by the end of it all, she was a D rank existence in both body and mana, following what Calux had told her mother, she had helped Seraphiel so that she wouldn't hit the bottleneck in the future.
For weeks, Celine made sure to train Seraphiel but during the times Calux was within his Void Palace so that they didn't meet.
This eventually led to Celine taking her newest disciple to a room, to which they sat down to have tea, and at one point Celine got up.
"It's time for you guys to meet."
Seraphiel stiffened, but before she could say anything.
A portal opened up in the room, and an extremely attractive guy was standing there with half his clothes torn.
Everything that was supposed to be sexy was visible, and Seraphiel couldn't help but gulp when she saw this man.
Calux... It seems that training his body left it... Impressive...
She was unconsciously looking at everything that was in front of her, but suddenly she heard a voice that took her out of her thoughts.
"Mother... I'm back, but why are you and this stranger in my room?"
