Chapter 138 - 131 (1/2)
”Your progress is around 20% out of 100 and you triggered a side mission.”
”Side mission? There's more?” Chun wasn't inform about this so-called missions as she only thought that she only needed to fullfil a certain task but now it seems to be...
”Yes. Today's side mission is to collecting flowers.”
”Huh?!”
The handsome young man with brown hair was seated in the leather chair in a relax manner while he sported that uncaring expression of his as if what he had said was just trivial things. The setting sun casted an orange glow around him that made Chun to feel beneath that careless attitude was a stern interior.

Tall green trees displayed infront the silver haired young man as she was standing at the entrance of the Baligroot Forest.
There wasn't anything remarkable about the forest compared to the Concave Forest which had violet colored leaves and the shining ground of gold dust, an enchanted forest if one could label but this Baligroot forest was so-so.
The tall trees swayed with the wind passing through its branches supporting common green leaves. The sunlight couldn't be seen inside the forest as the trees were thick and even the leaves were bushier that could cover a civilization.
Chun narrowed her eyes as she intently looked at the wind that passed by the leaves. It swayed with the blow of the wind but after the wind passed through, it curled like a hand and shook by itself. No one could notice its humanlike movements if they weren't like the silver haired young man who had the compatibility of all the charm and she was even connected to the wood charm, fully sensing the aura of liveliness withing the forest.
'That's why the Baligroot Forest was known for being a forest of ways.'
The silver haired young man didn't delay her venture as she stepped in. The entrance that Chun had chosen to go in was a hidden passage that the human beast had instructed her to take.
There was a total of five entrances to the Baligroot Forest which all of them were the same but the silver haired young man preferred to be alone that made her to pick this way.
In the other side of the forest, in the west entrance.
Countless of Charmers were readying themselves to enters while others were brave enough to enter already. Although there wasn't no rule of going in solo or in a group which made these Chamers to freely create their own group.
It was more guaranteed that if they went inside these perilous forest in a group, they had a fifty percent chance to pass the test.
Meanwhile the other Charmers were in group, some were still chose to move alone. Leika was an orphan from an unknown village who luckily awaken to be a Charmer. Although she was an orphan, the village still cared for her as it was only small; having twenty families in total. Leika was their family even though the girl had her own little hut yet the people there would welcome her in their homes.
The living environment there was good but she still wanted to bring name to her unknown village as she wanted to be remembered that there was a excellent Charmer from a small village who graduated from the prestigious school of Charmers.
With confidence, the sixteen year-old girl wearing handmade faded shirt and pants with pair of animal skin slippers, clutched her straw bag's strap as she walk in with no hesitation.
Looking at the retreating back of the poor girl who walking deeper the forest, the Charmers who mostly came from noble families snickered as they continued to flatter the green haired young man in the middle of their group.
Feng Cui, the eighth prince of the Royal family, was already fifteen years old this year which allowed him to partake the test in order to officially get admitted in Charm Excellence as his beloved older sister, the fifth princess was a senior in it and a High Charmer. Additionally, she was waiting for him.
The eighth prince smiled with gentleness as he reprimanded the others to stop looking for trouble.
The noble kids obliged as they looked at Feng Cui with light in their eyes. He was truly benevolent, a royalty indeed.
Other than being known as the benevolent prince, the green haired young man had an image of a soft-hearted youth that would pity the weak and poor as he would usually help them. Sometimes, he would proposed to the Supreme Ruler about plans for ȧssisting the poor people.
He was so good and kind that nobody could see flaws in him, a perfect prince. Although he was opposite to the iron-fisted father/Supreme Ruler yet he was loved by the masses.
