35 Setting OFF (1/2)
Next day Ryuu woke up early got ready and went to the dining hall, only this time no one was there yet, except the maids who were ordered to cater to his needs, after a long time his older sisters came to the dining room only to see a sleeping Ryuu, 'Did he spend the entire night here', was the collective thought of the sisters.
Sylvana went forward and shook Ryuu awake, he woke up rubbing his eyes, small drool on his cheeks, he was fully awake when he saw the grinning face of his second sister, he jumped up from his sit, grabbed his sister's hand as he bounced up and down in excitement, ”Lets lets go big sister.”
Sylvana stopped Ryuu from bouncing, ”Brother did sleep here the entire night.”
Ryuu: ”Why would I sleep here I just came early.”
Antariskh turned towards a maid who was standing there waiting for orders, ”You over there when did our brother arrive at the dining room.”
Maid: ”Your Majesty, his highness arrived her at the crack of dawn.”
Anarirskh, just rubbed her forehead in exasperation, her brother really gives a very good headache from time to time. ”Ryuu we are not going anywhere before you have a good breakfast then we will do some last minute check and preparations before setting off. Now go and wash your face, you have drooling marks all over your face.”
Ryuu blushed heavily and excused himself swiftly as he ran to wash his face, before joining his sisters for breakfast.
”Big sisters, why am I in such clothes? And why did you take my ring?”, asked Ryuu as he was dressed in a old looking leather armor, his space ring was taken from him by his older sisters.
”Brother if you go dressed as a royalty you will paint a bigger target on your back while announcing that, ”COME HERE I AM RICH SO LOOT ME ALL YOU WANT”, on top of that this place have dangerous animal, wearing that armor will hinder you, as for the ring we are increasing your challenge.”
Ryuu nodded at that, he took his sword and attached it to his hips as he spun around in front of the mirror, as he nodded satisfied, yep he looks cool.
Suddenly his eldest sister arrived with a backpack that looks like a teddy bear, she helped him carry the back pack, ”Brother, unlike the ring the back pack has limited amount of space only 8 Cubic meters. The food store here will rot within a week, but you will be staying for a month there, so I filled it with dry foods, although but enough for a week, also they taste disgusting, so you have to hunt to survive.The left back pack had fasteners across his chest and waist area to hold it tightly, it also had a water bottle holder on the left side, where Antariskh attached a water bottle with extendable straw, ”This bottle is special just send your Ki to it”, Ryuu send his Ki suddenly it was filled with various information,
1) First Slot: Water (unlimited)
2) Second Slot: Orange juice (100 liters.)
3) Third Slot:Milk (100 litres)
”Just think of which one you want and you will be able to drink, the water is unlimited but others are not, so use it wisely, also remember to use it discreetly to us it may not be seen much but to others this is an invaluable treasure which might even cause war.”
Ryuu gulped before nodding seriously. ”Now let us leave, the armor you are wearing is hooded so you may cover your head with it, the armor is strong enough to withstand ten blows from an immortal before getting destroyed.”, stated Shamiran as she pulled up the hood over his head, before speaking in a serious tone ”Ryuu remember during the entire adventure, if someone asks you your name you will say it 'Long Yu', never mention your real name not even to your team mates, they will just know you are Grandchild of a higher up from Shangri-la, we will take you to the person who will act as your Grand Ma his name is Long Mei. So is there any question you want to ask.”
Ryuu nodded before asking, ”Big Sister, what is a 'Grand Ma'?”
The sister's were startled before at the question, before remembering his story; Sylvana came forward to answer, ”Ryuu just as Xiao Xiao is your mother someone is also her mother, the mother of your mother is your Grand Ma.”
Ryuu was stunned on hearing that, ”So who is the mother of my mother or in other words my Grand Ma.”
Sylvana shrugged her shoulders, ”Sorry brother I do not know, you have to ask your mother.”
After a few interactions and questions they all went towards the throne room, where Ryuu saw a middle aged woman already kneeling in front of the throne waiting for them, whom he remembered as one of the people who was there welcomingthem.
