Aiden got to his feet again and almost immediately, he could feel an incoming attack.At that moment, something snapped inside him and he raised his staff to block the blow.He took a look at Princess Diane and saw that her eyes looked like they had whirlpools in them. He knew she was doing something but at that moment, he did not feel anything instead he blocked the blow, and the next three she threw at him.He could feel the pain recede at the moment and he no longer felt like he was being rammed by a semi-truck.Suddenly, he was able to attack after blocking and his attacks got faster and faster until he found an opening and his staff smashed down toward the Princess' shoulder.The attack came too fast for any sort of recovery but Aiden did not feel the satisfaction of a successful hit, all he got was a smack to the face and he lost consciousness almost instantly....[” Hey, snap out of that daze and listen to me"]Aiden mumbled incoherent words as he opened his eyes and blinked t

"I mentioned earlier that the Royal Library is one of this nation's greatest treasures"King Robert seemed to have not noticed the murmurings as he continued addressing them all like it was just another section of his speech."Anyone who reports valuable information gained in the library will not only know of it themselves but will also be rewarded depending on the value of the information provided.I can guarantee that those who are rewarded on this basis will be the envy of all who know them. You will be protected by the royal family against anyone who would consider attacking you for your findings, that I promise"Unlike the first instance of crowd reactions, there was a great difference this time. If the murmurs earlier had been a loud cheer, then the reaction now was pin-drop silence. All that was heard and reverberating in the ears of those who were present was the King's promise. Even the nobles turned to King Robert with surprise in their eyes."All hail The King!!!", the hera

"Switch weapons!!""The King has said that you will be going to the library today. We are ending this morning session an hour early as a result but you will go through just as many weapon revisions as you always have, so get going already.Aiden passed out the weapons in his section, gathered up the rest, and quickly left the field.The training session was quite different this time. For one, there was Prince Adrian and some other Princess, one he did not recognize who was watching the whole thing. Secondly, and more importantly, Princess Diane was nowhere to be found.A happy outcome for Aiden but when he thought about it, he felt that to some of the boys in the group, it was real anger. Aiden watched them fight like it was the end of days until he felt an additional eye on him. There was a weight to this gaze that separated it from the normal glances he usually got.He knew what direction it came from but he refused to look over to confirm who it was immediately. This refusal laste

"You don't need to be surprised. It's exactly what you are thinking"Temporal stasis was more or less a fancy way of saying time stop. Someone had frozen him in time and left all his nerves to work as normal.You could imagine how hard it was to accomplish this feat when you considered that the human body had billions of nerves and that he had frozen everything else, isolating only a few required to keep the brain running, long enough to wake him up."Thank you""You're welcome""To answer your question now, this is The Great Capital City of The Halyziar Empire"This answer was like another bomb to Fraser. He had left Nethilor City at the farthest edge of the Kaelan Empire and was now in Halyziar Empire. These two places were in no way close, so what was going on?"You seem to have no idea how you got here as well. I imagined that it was the outcome of a spell of yours but apparently I was wrong..."Fraser now understood a few things clearly as well. Things made a bit more sense now

"Thank you, Your Majesty""There is no need for that. I only need your answer to my question...""I will need to leave some time in the future. Either to find my son or to see what has become of Nethilor and to protect it if the need calls for it""You have yourself a promise"The moment she said this, a scroll appeared out of thin air, surprising Fraser. The scroll had a quill writing on it rapidly and a few seconds later, a drop of blood was seen floating onto the scroll and merging with it. With this done, the scroll folded itself and floated down into Fraser's hand."Then I am grateful for your benevolence", he said. He was very surprised at what she had just done. He knew that if she wished to deceive him, she could but his instincts told him that this was not the case. You could imagine what kind of General he'd be if he did not know when to trust his instincts.Another reason apart from his instincts was how shaken Rina was she saw the Queen carry out this act."Rina, lead him
