Enjoy!

Chapter 10 & 11 -

Sol opened his eyes slowly and with it a rush of power gleamed inside His skin looked tender and had a red luster and was a bit more tanned than before He had solidified his First Order Warrior foundation and could feel how different his body was cohter, flexible and stronger and he had olden-ma like hair swayed behind him

Suddenly he was interrupted by a knock

Knock Knock Knock

Sol got up, put on his black under ar out his hands he opened it and Maria was standing there holding a tray which was covered A wonderful aro Sol's stomach to rumble

[Good ~ Morning, hehe hungry?] -Maria

[Good ain] -Sol

Sol smiled shyly as he felt a bit embarrassed and held his stomach with one arm

[Not at all, The lady told ht to make sure and take care of you and even if she didn't I still would have!] -Maria

Maria sreen hair waved behind her back Sol s her face first thing in thewasn't bad at all

[Ah, thanks a lot It smells delicious, I've alondered who cooked the food here] -Sol

Sol lifted the tray and tasted the porridge with a spoon, at the side were boiled eggs with seasonings cut in half and made into sandwiches with a warm loaf of bread There were fruits and even a cup of tea to help with digestion Sol ravenously ate and wasand delicious meal

[Me ~ Of course, what surprised?] -Maria

Maria declared proudly as she puffed her chest and fixed her glasses

[No, not at all It suits you to make this kind of food that can make a heart warm] -Sol

Sol took a deep smell of the aroma and his eyes sparkled as he replied

Maria upon hearing his reply let out a laugh that resounded like crystal bells and teased

[Praise me more! Praise me more!] -Maria

Sol couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, this girl really was a handful

The two continued to chat for a bit until Maria had to go and prepare meals for the rest of the staff and so Sol onceface returned to one of seriousness and he glanced at the satchel that sat on the floor packed neatly Inside was all manners of herbs and pills

(I have to make a trip to the Duke's htmaster Duke's te himself) -Sol

Sol got up arments looked neat, he looked at himself in the mirror once quickly picked up the satchel tossed it around his neck and left the rooured they were in the lunch roohtmaster Duke's Mansion

As he greeted the guards he no longer smiled to them and passed them quietly

[Oi isn't that the happy guy?] -Guard 1

[Doesn't look too happy right now though] -Guard 2

[Yeah you're rightthink soot him mad?] -Guard 1

[Who knows! His s face bothered me anyway!] -Guard 2

[He'snot wearing the Duke Family heirloomshould we stop him?] -Guard 1

[No, the fact that his presence here hasn't been reported and the fact that he once had the ring proves he should be in here anyhow It's best just to ignore him as usual, who knoho that kid really is, best to pretend like you haven't seen anything] -Guard 2

And so both guards resigned themselves to their status and minded their business, which sit pretty ith them

As Sol approached the courtyard, he could see quite a few soldiers in training So bare handed or olden hair flashed and turned to a black lustrous color

(There's bound to be co field froe my hair color here) -Sol

As he entered the training field he drew a few gazes as his face was unfa He then reet the weapons and so hastened to the armory

The guards of the Mansion were familiar with his face and so there wasn't any need to stop hireeted with a surprise

In front of the door, stood a sturdy ure and a slier hatred in his eyes, but one couldn't feel out his emotions at all as his eyes didn't betray hiure hadn't done hihtmaster Duke and he knew Sol would make his way here to the armory when he was ready to leave and posted himself here

He looked at the female as the 3rd Queen, and for a split second they could see an intense hatred flash in his eyes Who was this woic and who desecrated his parent's memory!

Sol looked around the roolance and then looked back at the olda few of the Royal family to come speak to him When he realized they weren't here, he exhaled and felta pity party filled with ulterior motives

(Good! This s much easier!) -Sol

[Sol So you've cohtmaster Duke

Sol nodded and spoke

[I've finished my preparations and only require some weapons now and I'll be on my way] -Sol

Sol's voice was plain and held no reverence, rather even though his gestures and the words he used possessed sincerity, his tone and his eyes were not subservient He choose this ive them a reason to ”detain” him, he understood how these nobles used their powers and didn't want to get caught in any traps Though he knew this old man probably would not take part in any scheme as it didn't fit his profile

[Okay, enter the aro prepare the horses] -Nightmaster Duke

The Duke walked off towards the stables, Sol entered the armory and walked in, and as soon as he did

Clink

The door was locked behind him

Sol turned and grabbed the handle and realized it was locked and after seeing the door once he knew it couldn't be broken through with his current strength Before Sol could voice his complaints he was interrupted by another voice

[Sol] -Salira

As he turned around he saw a beautiful wo red hair This was none other than the 3rd Queen He unintentionally glared which made her flinch and stammer a bit

[H-helloI asked Nightmaster Duke to do this] -Salira

[What is your goal?] -Sol

[I have noneI wanted to forizeYou can come out now] -Salira

Salira spoke and looked behind her, another silhouette entered A short young lad with red hair and red eyes This young lad was Regius

[H-Hi Big brother Sol] -Sol

The nervously fidgeting youth came out and his eyes darted around the place which projected his liveliness Salira then looked towards Sol and began speaking

[There are things you should hear before you ement's about this place If you want to think badly about me afterward, then that is indeed my fault Will you hear me out?] -Salira

As she spoke one could see the guilt in her eyes and hear the nervousness in her voice Sol thought for a moment and then nodded

[The spell I used was called Hypnotic Stream, it was supposed to only to hypnotize you so you speak the truthwell that is if you had a Dantian which I didn't know you didn't possess I heard fro in the Warrior Fields and I thought for sure you were had one

When someone doesn't have a Dantian this sort of spell s one can iine Not only that but it tries to corrode ones mind completely, quite frankly it's a miracle you survivedI've never once used this spell on someone who did not possess a Dantian] -Salira

As Salira spoke she deius the effects of the Hypnotic Streaius' nostrils, it was htly more visible than before by the Queen's will and Sol could see it enter She asked him a series of questions, all of which he answered truthfully and although he kneas going to be practiced on he still couldn't feel any side effects

A few minutes afterward the stream left of it's own volition and dispersed in the air Sol was certain the Queen wasn't fooling him and that was indeed the effects of the spell, but still, it didn't sit ith Sol that the Queen used these sort of means

[I only intended to probe around and ask about your habits, I'm sorry and had no idea of your circumstances However, you have to understand that I had no idea who you were and our children were beco details about things to me, he thinks sometimes I read too much into a situation but he doesn't understand] -Salira

The Queen stopped as she see her mouth opened but closed afterward She didn't want to use her past to ive her for that reason, so she could only think about what to say next Sol didn't miss the sorrow in her eyes and seemed to understand that there was probably more to this woman The Queen then finally understood what she should say next and looked Sol in his eyes

[I, the 3rd Queen of Earthernvale, Salira Krauss Ironspine apologize for my rudeness and cruel treatment This Queen is ashaiveness now but I hope in the future ill be able to rebuild a standard of trust] -Salira

As the Queen spoke she bowed her head and lifted the edges of her skirt Sol faced with this level of sincerity understood that even though it was a si any Queen would do He thought for a moment and understood he shouldn't be unreasonable, if he continued to hold a grudge he would be handling the situation i less probley but in his heart he was still a bit unwilling, however he gained a bit of respect for her

[I understand your feelings and I will not look down on them, I will hold you to your words In the futureHowever, I still do not approve of your means] -Sol

Sol nodded and his eyes no longer glared or showed displeasure, throughout their entire conversation SolThe Queen seeing this felt relieved in her heart

[Okay then, I thank you Sol Follow ive to you I' to buy you off or anything but it would ed yourI hold ood luck] -Salira

Regius was quiet the entire time and didn't want to interrupt the two Sol nodded and followed her down the halls, the one thing Sol didn't have in this world was- possessions! Sol owned nothing! He figured she was going to give hiood weapon, if Sol wanted to leave Earthernvale then one of the things he definitely needed was a good weapon!

They passed many finely made weapons but none really stood out The deeper they went, the htly as he looked at every weapon Then finally they reached a group of walls with different runic stones on them, each one had a runic symbol and it appeared to be the syot frohtmaster Salira walked up to one particular one, for touched the symbol it lit up-

Rumble Rumble

Suddenly the wall fleards and opened!

Salira walked in and Regius folloith Sol trailing after curiously looking around this unfamiliar place As they entered there were 10 crystal-diamond patterned chests in the nored them and went directly to another ith a runic sy and it opened

Rumble Rumble

What stood there was a dusty old wooden chest covered in webs, the weird part about the chest was that it had no signs of deterioration at all Salira pressed her ring once more on the old chests lock and with a ”Click” sound it opened Regius' eyes shone with excite of excitement hi common?

Cryogenesis aside, Sol was still a 15 year old boy how could weapons of such nitude not make his blood boil? He looked calmly to see what Salira would take out and what he saw utterly surprised him!

It was a Golden bow and both the upper limb and lower limb of the boere ht glea wasn'tthat gave off a faint light

[This child is called Lightbringer, not much is known about it One of my ancestors found it but none of his descendants could put it to use It seeht affinity to use it, we had one descendant in our faht attribute and attempted to use it but the bow rejected him!] -Salira

[It rejected him?] -Sol

Sol was surprised, the way she spoke was as if the boas alive See to understand Sol's confusion Salira continued

[Yes, this is a Sentient Weapon Sentient Weapons are special, the require a Sentient Weapon are actually really hard and have a lot to do with luck The beast must be above the S Rank and it must have a proper host weapon of superior quality to attach itself to, however having the strength to kill an S rank aside the hardest part is for the beast to willing choose to go into a weapon

[Huh in the past had tried all manners of methods to make a beast sub the lives of their young but all they've ever been ed to create a Sentient weapon under such conditions it would go rogue and attack everything and destroy itself

Naturally their reasons for this was out of self preservation for the human race, If we could have every person equipped with Sentient weapons then huth Not that I agree with those methods but] -Salira

The Queen trailed off on those words, one could see a hint of viciousness in the depths of her eyes

[Beastsdon't forgive us either] -Salira

She regained back her wits and continued the explanation

[After a while, hu that Sentient weapons can only be created by beasts for whatever reason they have and so such experiun causing quite a massacre after they carried out those experio that all of this happened] -Salira

Sol hearing this felt like he had opened the book to a neorld! Sentient Weapons! Weapons with the souls of beasts! He couldn't help but glance at the bow, a look of awe in his eyes Sol couldn't help but ask as he looked towards the bow

[What Soul beast is in there exactly?] -Sol

[Beats ht attributed didn't know! It was recorded when he picked up the bow and tried to draw it's string, a terrible feeling of dread came from it and it was recorded he said he felt like he had offended a God and quickly dropped it He never once touched it after that] -Salira

Seeing Sol's eyes glea, Salira chuckled
