249 Unexpected turn of events I (1/2)

”Father, mother, how are you doing in the sky?”

Sparkling tears rolled down Lia's cheeks, but she forced herself not to let them fall. She was curling into a ball like an abandoned little girl and watching the sky. Her delicate figure caused one to be unable to refrain from pampering her.

At this time, a pair of rough but warm hands patted her shoulders.

”Don't cry anymore Lia, if your family is still here, they won't wish for you to be so sad”

Lia's eyes were filled with grief, fear, and anger.

It was too much to endure for a young girl like her.

House Dante was destroyed overnight, and her entire family was massacred by the House Morisse and even the old man Fin died protecting her. He knew that no one would have killed her but they would have made her a slave and turned her life into a living hell.

It was obvious that a beautiful delicate girl and an heir to a big family like her had never experienced the harsh reality of this world and grew protected and loved by everyone around her.

”I'm fine, young master”

She immediately wiped the tears off her face and forced a smile. She was sitting on the ground in front of the bed while Knight sat on the bed and put his sword on the bed as he sighed.

”Your family had the book of ark, did you at least build one ship utilizing the book?”

Ken told him that in his time, they had a powerful air and naval fleet, and all of them were built researching the scrolls left by the ancients. And according to him, they had to piece together many scrolls and use their own knowledge to build ancient ships and even those were not as powerful as the ones used by the ancients. However, Lia's family had the diary which contained the full blueprints of the accents ships and yet they were massacred overnight, so it didn't take a genius to figure out that they didn't build a ship.

”Our ancestor forbade us to build, young master, he said that a killing machine like that shouldn't exist ”

Hearing her, he frowned and asked

”No offense to your ancestor, then why the fuck did he created the book of arc and endangered his family, it's just dumb”

Usually, she would have become furious if someone disrespected her ancestor but now, what the young master said made sense.

”Lia, in this world, you have to utilize every opportunity to become stronger, you can be either a predator or prey. A single ancient ship would have destroyed House Morisse and saved your family”

She avoided direct eye contact with him as she sobbed.

”Do you have a family, young master?”

She asked with a low voice

”A few years ago all I had was my brother but now we have people to call family, I will do anything to keep them safe and you are going to help me protect my family ”

Just as he said this, Lia slowly turned her head and looked at him perplexed.

”Young master...I...”

”You can build ships and we are going to build not just any ships but ancient warships using the book of ark”

When she heard his plan, she unconsciously touched her space ring and held her hands against her chest fearing he would take it.

”You don't have to fear me, Lia if I wanted to take the book from you I wouldn't have saved you and promised the old man that I will keep you safe”

Lia couldn't find any ill intentions in his eyes and she knew what he just said was true.

”I want you to help us on your own accord, I won't force you to”

He went with his guts that told him that this girl is too valuable and a great asset when they start building warships, after all, they couldn't depend on Ken for everything.

”Think about it and get some sleep, you need it. You can take the bed, I'll meditate here”

”Formation!”

At the moment in Agoria, Vivian was standing in front of three hundred recruits in black leather armor. Hearing her order, they formed a perfect military formation.

After hours of harsh training, the amateur youngsters had reached the first step of being full-fledged soldiers.

”You have now completed your first phase of the training and you're now officially the police force of Everlight”

Vivian paused for a moment and stared at the proud faces of the youngsters in front of her. They stood chest puffed up and head held high.

”You will now directly work under me and after the coronation ceremony that coming in two days from now, you'll swear your loyalty to Everlight and will be taken to Everlight to enhance your cultivation, until then, enjoy your new armor”

CLAPS!!!

The moment she finished her speech, the thunder clasp like claps reverberated the area. Among the recruits who were celebrating this event, Taylor and his friends were searching for the white lady of death, Lady Adria because along with Nanbu, she also trained them and her training was the most intense schedule in their training phase.

But after seeing more and more black-armored guards coming to Agoria and increasing the guards in Agoria, Taylor guessed that she was busy with the coronation ceremony.

”Lady Vivian, is it okay to hold a coronation ceremony without ”

Nanbu silent asked Vivian as she sighed

”General Knight's order Nanbu, we have to root the water spirit and hold the ceremony, but don't worry, I trust General Knight, he will bring him back. Come on, we have a missing person to find”

”Lady Vivian, Nanbu”

When they returned to the castle from the training ground, they saw Kayako was waiting for them with a vial of black potion in her hands.
