V2 Chapter 16-

This young lady......was Sol's Intelligent Weapon, the Queen Basilisk. This was not her true form as Sol's power was unable to make her appear with her true power and she could only manage to create a body of a young girl, or more precisely a younger looking version of herself. She playfully held onto Sol's arm as she ignored the crowd and maintained a mischievous smile, Sol seeing this smiled wryly as he knew this Queen was quite troublesome.

The Queen Basilisk had awakened before Mitra, she decided to appear before Sol in her new accessible form and surprised the latter greatly; mainly because she was naked at first. Sol asked Maria to make her some clothes and she readily agreed with stars in her eyes once she noticed how pretty the little Queen was.

Even Sol was quite taken back by her appearance, he had never seen anyone that could compete with Zee in beauty and this young girl was definitely one of them. However, the relations.h.i.+p Sol had with this little Queen was strictly familial and treated her like a little sister because of their bond and her young appearance.

The latter was quite fond of Sol and also shared these feelings. The little Queen had become quite happy that she was able to take such a form and for the first time she was able to hold her own children with her own hands. The twins loved seeing their mother very much and a heart warming reunion ensued, she rubbed their heads and gave them quite a few kisses and hugs spoiling them as much as she could.

**

As the gazes fell on the pretty young Queen, she ignored them and maintained her mischievous smile. The two walked forward as their arms interlocked and chatted quietly and a beautiful laughter like silver bells resounded from the young Queen, anyone who saw the couple would be astounded as their appearance seemed to match one another perfectly and seemed to be close relatives. They also seemed much different to the people of Earthernvale and possessed a powerful aura similar to their King.

Liore had been fidgeting endlessly as she saw the appearance of this young girl and felt a bit bitter. She didn't know who the girl was and felt a little jealous in her heart, though it didn't show on her pretty cold face.

Liore poured herself another cup of wine and drank it all in one go, luckily everyone's eyes were on Sol and the young girl and did not take any notice of her swift actions, except for her mother whose gaze had been s.h.i.+fting back and forth from the two.

(How beautiful...) -Liore

She bit her lips and stared at the two, she tried to calm her jealous and envious feelings forcing a smile.

Sol walked towards the Royal family's table and pulled a chair for the little Queen to sit on, after making sure she was seated properly. He sat down beside her and gave an indifferent smile as he looked around and enjoyed the beauty of this Grand Colosseum. His eyes flashed with appreciation as he looked at the marvelous decor and suddenly had a weight thought that it could have been done better, this wasn't him being arrogant but he felt like he himself could have done a better job. He didn't know why he felt this way but ignored this thought and looked around with a slight smile. A few voices threw greetings toward Sol as they were all smiles and the atmosphere was truly a joyous one.

[It seems you've arrived and you've brought company] -King Ironspine

[Ho ho ho, quite flashy might I add!] -Former King

[Big brother! Who is this pretty little sister!! Also, big brother looks really cool!!] -Regius

[My! What a pretty little girl, Sol can you introduce her to us?] -Sophia

Sol smiled and then placed his hand on the young girl's head and rubbed it, the little Queen did not fight up and instead pushed her head towards Sol's hand cutely.

[This is little Queen, she is my sister and my sword] -Sol

The group seemed to not understand as they looked at Sol blankly. The Former King seemed to have realized something and looked at Sol dumbfoundedly. He thought for a bit and then couldn't help but ask.

[Y-You....she is an intelligent weapon?] -Former King

Sol smiled and nodded.

[Not only that, she is the mother of my Soul Beasts] -Sol

When Sol said these words the royal family became completely speechless....what a connection!

Not only did he possess a rare type of Soul Beast but two Soul beasts that were twins, adding on to the fact that his weapon was the mother of them both; this was just too weird! The way they saw it, Sol was abnormal within abnormality and he had luck enough to make the G.o.ds bleed with envy.

Sol grinned as he found their reactions funny, before he could speak a cute voice interrupted them-

[This Queen shall be called ”Lilith”. I'm sure it's a pleasure for plebeian such as you, ehehe] -Lilith

[...Strange...I felt like this has happened before] -King Ironspine

[...Indeed] -Former King

As they heard this the Royal Family gazed at the una.s.suming sharp-tongued girl with surprise and they suddenly felt a bit of Deja Vu....their gazes just happened to move towards Sol's shoulder where his bow used to be.

Sol laughed as he knew what they were thinking, he remembered Mitra had a similar introduction and that the Royal Family had been looked down on by both of his weapons.  After having enough fun with their expressions, he grinned at Lilith.

[Lily, relax. It's not nice for a young woman to behave in such a manner] -Sol

Surprisingly when Sol spoke to this troublesome looking young girl, she obediently leaned her body into him and rubbed her head with a sad expression and teary pretty golden eyes peering into Sol's, pretending to be hurt. When Sol saw this scene he was instantly reminded of Hydrian and Hydreas when they were born and looked at him similarly with baby like eyes. They also did this when they wanted something, Sol knew....this was definitely a scheme!

Sol pretended to hesitate for a bit and then grinned evilly as he pulled her little nose harshly.

[Tricks!] -Sol

[Oww! The pain...this Queen did nothing wrong..] -Lilith

The pretty little girl's face became fl.u.s.tered as her eyes revealed a wronged expression full of pain. She pretended to faint from the pain and fell on Sol's lap, were it not for the fake peaceful snores people would actually believe it.

While all this was going on, Salira had a strange expression as she stared at the little girl. For some reason she felt like she had seen her somewhere before but couldn't quite put her finger on it. It made the hairs on her back stand up as she looked at the little girl and a trace of fear seeped into her heart not knowing the reason why.

Lilith seemed to have felt her gaze, and for a split second she opened her eyes and gazed into Salira's eyes. Inside, there seemed to be a faint hatred that was suppressed and as she focused on Salira it started growing more and more deeper in her eyes unknown to anyone but Sol.

Salira however, could feel the gaze a hundred fold and she felt exactly like the time the S-Rank had broken through their city walls and looked at her with similar hateful and domineering eyes. This powerful gaze of utter hatred that seemed to hold her in complete disdain.

*Pat*

Suddenly Sol's hand landed on Lilith's back and lightly patted it surprising Lilith and breaking her hatred filled gaze, the little girl looked at Sol and this time the sad expression seemed to be sincere and Sol knew the reason why. He rubbed her back and gave her a caring expression, that seemed to say ”It's okay”

The little girl's killing intent faded as she inhaled Sol's scent, in a glow of light Lilith's body became a golden mist that entered Sol's palm becoming a tattoo of a sword with a serpent wrapped around the blade and handle. Salira looked at Sol's palm, fear still deep in her eyes. Sol ignored her emotional changes and subconsciously rubbed his palm, by now it was pretty noticeable to everyone what had just happened, tension like that couldn't be overlooked.

Sol sighed as he poured himself more wine and wore a slight smile, he seemed as though he had something to say thus all eyes had fallen on him.

[Seems there's no ignoring it now, might as well get to the point] -Sol

Sol fished out a runic ring and rolled it along the dining table towards Salira, the ring slowly rolled towards the latter who instinctively stopped it as it came closer to the edge. She picked it up and revealed an astonished expression, Sol seeing this took out a dusty old book from his interspatial ring and slid it across the table towards her.

These actions naturally gathered the attention of the people present and they all stared at the ring which bore Salira's family seal and revealed astonished expressions. The dining area of the royal family contained a sound barrier and as such Sol decided to go ahead and speak freely.

[Salira...truth be told, Lilith was the S-Rank beast that attacked your city] -Sol

Quiet! Complete and utter silence! The people present felt as if they had heard wrong and gazed at Sol blankly. The 3rd Queen, Salira, was the only one who didn't look as though she had heard something wrong and looked at the Sol's hand with a mysterious gaze. Several emotions could be seen in her eyes and all of them were with ill intentions.

[Sol....Did I mishear you?] -King Ironspine
