12- Our-Own-Path
After Raj reached the guest room, he saw that there were Royal family guards standing at the entrance. Raj thought maybe some Royal family member came to visit the Leon clan but didn’t pay much attention to it.
As he entered, he saw that Albert, his grandpa was talking to a Royal family Eunuch and it looked like they were discussing something important. Raj took a casual look and saw that Lily was also present in the hall and was sitting beside the eunuch.
Lily is the Royal family princess and also Raj’s fiancée. Raj saw that Lily was also present in the hall and was pleasantly surprised and happy. As Raj was unable to comprehend the changes in his family, it was a relief if he was able to spend some time with Lily and maybe he can improve his mood from all the situations he was going through.
As Raj entered, all the people present in the hall gathered their eyes on Raj.
“Raj, have a seat,” said Albert without giving Raj a chance to greet or ask anything.
Raj heard this and without thinking about anything sat on an empty chair.
After Raj took his seat, the Eunuch stood up and walked to the center of the hall and took out a scroll or the so-called ‘Imperial decree’. And started speaking,
“Today the King of Saurastra kingdom has declared that the marriage alliance between Raj Leon and Lily Connor will be canceled as his majesty’s daughter, the 5th Princess of the Saurastra kingdom, Lily Connor has been recruited as a disciple of the ‘Frozen Palace’ and will be joining ‘Frozen Palace’ after two months and to fulfill the requirement of the ‘Frozen Palace’ the marriage has to be canceled.”
After finishing reading, the Eunuch closed the decree and looked at Raj, and spoke,
“Raj will be allotted a palace, an army of 2000 soldiers, and about 1000 low grade energy stones as compensation”
After that, the Eunuch clapped his hands and a guard brought a tray consisting of a storage ring along with an Imperial token and some documents.
The eunuch then again spoke to Raj,
“Raj, now sign the document and cancel your marriage alliance and accept the compensation”
Raj was stunned by the announcement and he only came back to his senses when the Eunuch spoke to him.
Raj then looked at his grandpa Albert for a moment or two, and then his eyes moved towards Lily who was sitting as if there was nothing important. By seeing her reaction, Raj started to have a bad premonition and asked Lily in a low voice,
“Lily, what is this supposed to mean? We were supposed to marry next year and we also made many promises to each other but now the king is ordering for marriage cancellation and you are sitting there quietly?”
Seeing that Raj was mentioning about the time spent together and promises made with each other, Lily first got irritated than angry and spoke coldly
“Raj, it's not that I forgot all that but I can't waste my life with you. You, who have just Level 1 talent and got stuck in the Evolver level and will probably be always staying at that level and has no future. I can’t marry a waste so I had only two choices, one to marry a waste like you and live my life in agony or choose to move on. So, I chose to move on and got recruited to ‘Frozen Palace’. It is better to sign the divorce so that we can move on our own paths.”
As Raj heard Lily's words, his premonition got real and he felt that his heart was aching. Raj thought of asking his grandpa and see if he could help in this matter but instead, he heard his grandpa say
“Raj sign the documents and accept the compensation”
Hearing his grandpa’s words, Raj was blankly looking at his grandpa, he didn’t understand why his grandpa spoke in that way. Raj thought that his grandpa would get angry because if Raj’s and Lily’s marriage gets canceled then the Leon clan would lose its prestige and face. Now it seems like his grandpa doesn’t mind that and wants to end this matter as soon as possible.
Seeing that Raj was standing still, everyone in the hall was frowning and Albert spoke loudly
“RAJ!!! I said, sign the documents”
Hearing his grandpa’s shout, Raj was trembling with anger, grief, and sadness. Then he walked to the guard, took the Marriage papers, and signed it. He threw the documents to the guard and ran out of the Guest Hall and exited the Leon clan and ran until he reached the exit of the capital city. There as he was about to exit the city, a voice called out to him,
“Raj, wait!”
Hearing someone calling him, Raj stopped and looked in the direction from where the voice came.
Raj saw that the speaker was his roommate and his best friend at the Gurukul, Jack ray.
Raj saw that Jay Ray, Simon Taylor, and Mark Anthony were walking toward him. Seeing it was his friends, he calmed down and spoke,
“What are you guys doing here?”
“Nothing we thought we should meet you, as we are planning to travel and also visit different places, so we thought it would be better to meet all of us once together and then part our ways” spoke Mark.
“Yes, c'mon brother let's go to a restaurant and spend some time” spoke Simon Taylor.
Hearing them, Raj shook his head and
said “I am not in the mood maybe tomorrow”
and without waiting for them to speak, Raj ran out of the city.
13- Conspiracy Seeing that something was wrong with Raj; Jack Ray, Simon Taylor, and Mark Anthony looked at each other and decided to follow Raj. As Raj was just an Evolver level and the three Jack Ray, Simon Taylor, and Mark Anthony were already Demi-Human level they easily caught up with Raj. Raj ran to a nearby Mountain and stopped. Seeing Raj stop, Jack Ray, Simon Taylor, and Mark Anthony came closer to Raj and asked “What’s wrong Raj?? Why did you run to here?” asked Jack Ray. Raj was in grief and answered what happened in the guest hall with his friends about his marriage with Lily. Hearing the reason for his abnormality and grievance of Raj; Jack Ray, Simon Taylor, and Mark Anthony came to Raj to console him and hugged him to relieve his heart. “Hey Raj, it doesn’t matter. It's her loss for breaking up with you” “Yeah, c’mon brother, it's not like there are no other girls in this world that you won’t get” “Exactly you have such a good family and you look so han
14- Forgotten Truth Hearing the words spoken by his friends, Raj understood why his friends betrayed him. \ Raj was trying to hold his grief and anger and finally asked, “Who was it? And if you wanted to kill me, why have you kept me alive till now and not killed me.” Seeing that Raj was almost done and was hanging on last bit of energy, the three Jack Ray, Simon Taylor, and Mark Anthony looked at each other and smiled evilly “Well, it's because we don’t want to leave any evidence and it would be better to kill you away from the Kingdom’s capital and deep inside where no one comes and let wild animals kill you instead of dirtying our hands with your blood. So, we brought you all the way to the border of the Saurastra kingdom and will leave you here.” “And since you are going to die, we will do you a favor and tell the person who organized all this.” “It's your dear fiancée who was our boss who planned all this. I know you might not believe it but it's true.” “She neve
15- RPG style system At the southern border of the Saurastra kingdom, there is a forest which is known as the ‘dark forest’. ‘Dark forest’ is a relatively dangerous area, where even the Peak of Transformation realm can die and only the Royalty level powerhouse has a chance to survive in the outer area, while the inner area and the core area is the most dangerous area and the top experts don’t necessarily go to those for any adventure, as it is a sure death trip. The dark forest acts as a barrier between the Saurastra kingdom and a country that is related to another empire. So, it can be said that the ‘dark forest’ prevents a small country from the attack of a big kingdom like Saurastra. ============================ (A small review, in this world, Empire is bigger than a Kingdom, and a kingdom is bigger than a country. So, Empire > Kingdom > Country > State > County > City > Town > village. I will be mentioning these things after a few chapters regularly to avoid confusio

17- Change in Character Click As I was trying to gather some strength and move, suddenly I heard a sound. Hearing that, I was startled and somehow, I got up and looked in the direction from which the sound came. As I was already in an extremely weak condition and poisoned, I was thinking about whether to hide or look at what it is. Realizing it was not safe to look, I moved to a nearby tree that was big enough to cover my thin and weak body. By exhausting my remaining strength, I got to the back of the tree and saw that the tree had a hole, big enough for a person to pass through. After I entered the hole, I saw that the tree was hollow and at least 2 people can fit in the tree’s internal area. CLICK After entering the tree, I sat down trying to recover my strength when, I heard that the sound which I had heard earlier, was getting closer. I heard the nearby bushes rustle and felt that some animal or human was moving in my direction. As I was in no conditio
18- First Kill Since he is around Demi-human level; I think after killing him, I can level up multiple times and get many so-called free stat points. With free stat points, I could allocate those to my stats, as I have low stats. And if I increase my stats, the chances of survival in this forest will also increase. But here is the problem, I have to make sure that I kill him in one hit because it is a known fact that as we cultivate, our body also gets stronger; and since I have such weak strength and stats, I am not sure if I can kill him easily. As I was thinking about how to kill this guy, I saw his fingers twitch momentarily. Seeing this, I realized that I need to take action immediately because he might wake up anytime now; I saw a sharp rock near the river shore. Seeing the rock, I made a decision and ran to pick up the rock. Hurriedly I picked up the rock and ran to the man. I made a quick decision and took my shot. A human’s body has many weak areas and to kill a
19- First Job Seeing me approach, he too moved towards me and his mouth was close enough to my ear and I was waiting for his words. Suddenly, the man used both hands and gripped my neck. I did not notice his actions as I lowered my guard due to my guilt and ‘kind’ heart. When I felt the man’s tight grip around my neck, only then did I realize that I was fooled or it was my foolishness that led to me lowering my guard. And now I am going to die if I don’t get out of this crisis. The man was using his strength to kill me or was even trying to break my neck and take me along with him to the afterlife. It looked like he was using his remaining strength. I was panicking because I lost control and couldn't put up resistance. As I realized that I was slowly losing strength; I tried to remove the man’s hand but could not do it. Realizing that, I hit the man’s neck and all the other areas where he was wounded. I remember that the pain was staggering and maybe he fought with someone a
20- Hiding The group of guards was panicking because they are going to die due to the death of the ‘Young Master’ and there is no way to get out of this situation. As they were trembling and thinking about how to inform the clan, the leader exclaimed, “Damn bastard!!! Who dared to kill the Young Master?” Hearing the leader’s words, all the guards were startled, “What!?!?” “Leader are you sure about that?” The leader replied “Look at the throat and the back of the head, it looks like someone stabbed him in the neck area and hit the back of his head with something hard” Hearing this, all guards saw the wound on the neck and back of the head. “Look there is a stone which has blood on it and it looks like the master was hit with this stone” Said a guard and ran to pick up a stone with the blood and brought it to show to everyone. “Yes, it looks like some human killed the young master and robbed him” Said the leader. Hearing this all the guards were shocked and became angry. B
