Toda asks Gaius why he stopped him from rejecting the offer, Gaius on the other hand swayed away the question again and told Toda to get himself a nice thread for his Knighting ceremony, Toda laughed it away when three men and a lady approached him, “Sir, we are Tailor’s to House Noverus, we were ordered by his majesty to make your ceremony wears, if you would be nice to accompany us to our shop please.” Toda turned to Gaius and pulled him along with him, his team on the other hand stood confused, Nana turned to Audrey, “the master has trusted you all of the prizes, what do you intend we do with it.” Audrey glared at the whole team with passion in his eyes, “we have to keep this safe, the master’s accomplishment is also ours, lets head to his ward and await his return.” They moved into the castle with the chest stacked with their prize.Toda had gotten to the tailor’s shop, he was given three wears, in all he put Gaius in charge, a choice was finally made and the two headed bac
The next day had come on so fast; on Toda’s door was a knock. “Forgive me sir, its Oliver the butler of the royal house, i have been ordered by his majesty the emperor to prep you for your ceremony, if you’d please open the door, I’ll begin my duties.” Toda didn’t try fighting with him, he understood that any and every demand of the emperor must be met, he ushered Oliver in, “Good morning master Toda.” Accompanying Oliver in were four maids, Oliver walked up to the curtains, opened them allowing ventilation, the maids walked over to Toda and stripped him naked, he fought them but he wasn’t heard, the maidens seemed like they were thoroughly trained, they then gave him a bath, after the bath he had hands, feet and hair treatment, he was then given a thorough massage, Oliver brought out his uniform, it was custom made for nobility and his had the crest of barony, unlike the other clothes Toda wore, these set were different, they had something to them and Toda couldn’t fathom what it
After stating the name he has in mind and giving his reason, everyone seated began to murmur.“Such disrespect in the Emperor’s presence.”“Who does he think he is?” “This is blasphemy.” “He shouldn’t be a noble.”The throne room was filled with bitterness for Toda; He on the other hand didn’t know what his crime was, a guard halted them all, the emperor smiled saying he liked the name, “Hmm, Terra Deorum, tell us more on what you have in mind, seems you have more to say.” Toda was confused not knowing where he went wrong, he grin his teeth and cleared his throat, “i for one never wanted to be a noble, not even a hero but circumstance placed me in these situations, i do not know what crimes i have committed for stating my reason for the land, i also do not care what you think of me, Terra Deorum, a land of the big seven, i stated this to point out that this would be a land free to all race who come to her for refuge, elf, fairy, ogre, name it, all will leave as one there
Toda was still fast asleep, and on his door was a knock, “Toda, you in there?” Toda woke as soon as he heard the voice on the door, he walked up to the door and worded, “Gaius can’t you at least let me have my fare share of sleep, I’ve been working my butt off for four days now, i need the rest.” Toda opened the door and in front of the door was Gaius smiling mischievously, “good day my lord.” Gaius said as he bowed, Toda gave him a heavy bump to the head and warned him not to make such jest, as he walked Gaius in, he lock the door, beside his bed was the tea which was served to him during the day time, he poured Gaius some and then they began to talk, “Gaius about yesterday, the Nobles didn’t seem to like me at all, and all it took was a name i chose.” Gaius laughed and wacked Toda on the back, “You see my friend, some people are destined to move forward more than others, while the others follow the rule and move at their own pace, you for one are faster, your rank is a very h
Both boys had collapsed from the fight, they were moved to the infirmary where the Emperor’s doctors worked on them both, when Toda woke up he had pains all over, beside his bed was Audrey, “ughhh.... my head hurts, i guess i passed out, where am i?.” He blurts out, “my lord, you are awake, how did this happen?.” Audrey spoke out; “I don’t remember, all i know is.....” while trying to recollect Toda gave out a big Gasp, “Where is Gaius? Is He dead? Take me to him at once.” Toda tries getting up but he falls back down, showing signs that his healing wasn’t complete yet, “my lord, your recuperation process is still yet to be completed, and the master Gaius is well, he is in another room, you retained much damage than he did for some reason, he has come to check on you twice and will return soon.”Toda wasn’t shocked to hear that he retained much damage, to him Gaius seemed much more refined, he was well calculated even in the face of death, Toda turned to Audrey, “what are you
Toda walked up to Karma patted him on the shoulder and spoke, “I reject your proposal for a duel, i will not indulge in your childish convictions, you pointed out that i used my sacred arm wrongly and i commend you for being upright but i cannot entertain your boredom, i suppose that is why our knights are giving to us, we depart from Khetis in search of our guardian towers tomorrow, i must be at my best, i cannot allow myself be manipulated by the likes of you, i agree you are royalty, but do not push your luck past it’s threshold.” Karma smirked and walked away saying, “Then i guess I’ll punish you another day.” Toda Turned to Audrey, “Audrey, have Milara and Hunter reported in today?” Audrey took to his knees and worded, “My lord, Hunter reported in early but then left to train, and Milara on the other hand is on the other side of the door.” Toda requested he called her in, when she walked in, she took to her knees, “My lord, how are your injuries?, what are your orders for me
The Emperor clears his thought and asks, “Do you have any complaints, what can i do for you?” Toda takes to his knees, “your imperial highness, we have come here to inquire more knowledge on the journey tomorrow.” The Emperor gave out a big sigh, “Yes that is true, you’ll be leaving tomorrow, I’ll tell you all you need to know about these sacred arms and their guardian towers after which I’ll tell the rest.” The Emperor stood, “When the gods were vanishing, Chronos, put a spell on each sacred arm to reduce the power they possess, he lock the bigger half in seven different towers, these towers were hand crafted by him, a test awaits any who was selected, if they pass it, they would enter a full covenant with the sacred arm which would unlock its full potential.” Toda and Gaius where shocked hearing this for the first time, the Emperor continues, “After this you’ll all return to khetis to await words from the king of hell himself.” Gaius in a puzzled state asks the Emperor, “Unc
The morning sun rose and with it came with this pure wind that blew the trees, making them dance, the imperial kingdom was a beautiful sight to behold at that time of the day, Toda and his party was up, Hunter, Milara, Nana, Audrey and Toda all assembled in front of the door to the throne room, the guards at the door announced as they pushed the door open, “the second heroes party to depart has arrived to see his majesty.” Toda and his party walked in and as they got in they were all shocked, even Toda as he didn’t expect to see all noble ranks in the throne room that early, as he walked in the Emperor stood and so did the whole imperial court, “young Baron.” The emperor said as he walked down from his throne, “Today you depart in search of your guardian tower, and also to your domain, Terra deorum, you’ll be with your royal guards and also your sacred arm, the responsibility placed on you is a heavy one and so you’ll be expected to do an even nicer job because the Gods of Khetis d
