King Roland Lionheart
King Roland Lionheart sat upon his throne like a conquering tyrant. He crossed his leg lazily over the other while his fingers drummed quietly on the armrest."My Lord," a messenger rushed in. "The envoys have returned."Roland raised his chin. "Let them in."The heavy doors creaked open, and the three envoys entered the throne room in silence. They knelt before him, their heads bowed low against the floor."Your Majesty," General Corvus greeted him, his voice unsteady.Roland’s eyes narrowed. He didn't see Elara with them. They had all returned empty handed. “Where is my niece?” he demanded sharply. "Did you succeed on your assignment?"The envoys exchanged uneasy glances. A brief hesitation passed between them before Corvus swallowed and spoke.“Your Majesty, the Big Man of Liberty City refused to release the princess.”Roland surged forward in his seat. “What?” he roared. The hawk-nosed envoy lifted his head slightly. “The Big Man threatened the throne, Your Majesty. He said he i
Magic items
Barry tilted his head slightly, confusion crossing his face.“Magic items?” he asked. “What exactly are magic items?”Sebastian folded his hands behind his back and answered calmly,“They are objects created or altered through supernatural means,” he said. “A sword that never dulls and cuts through steel is a magic item. A mirror that shows you a distant place is a magic item.”Barry frowned. “So, they're basically magical tools?”“In a way,” Sebastian replied. “But they have rules. Every magic item has limits, costs, and conditions. The more powerful the effect, the heavier the price.”Barry’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Like the Hourglass of Destiny?”Sebastian shook his head at once. “No. The Hourglass of Destiny is a divine artifact. It was forged by higher entities that exist above demons, gods, and mortals alike.”He continued, “Magic items are far beneath that level. They are created by ancient beings, powerful sorcerers, fallen gods, or even demons who learned how to bind power i
The three envoys part 2
The hawk-nosed envoys' face flushed with anger as he faced Barry. “You’re threatening the king of our nation,” he said sharply. “Do you even understand what you’re saying?” Corvus lifted a hand, signaling his companion to sit back down, though his own eyes were chips of ice. “Do you know the consequences of your actions?” Corvus asked coldly. “A threat against our king’s life is no small matter. It could mean war. Is that what you want, Barry Sullivan? To drag your city into a conflict with a sovereign military power?” Barry listened, unfazed. He took a slow breath before responding. “I don’t know Princess Elara’s uncle personally,” he said. “But I know this much—he is not worthy of being called a king. He took the throne from his brother by force. A man like that doesn’t deserve the title.” He leaned forward, his gaze locking with Corvus’s. “Which is why I’m giving him three days. Three days to step down, release the true king, and surrender himself for judgment.” Corvus’s ja
The three envoys
Sebastian had already arranged everything by the time Barry arrived.The private reception hall was softly lit for their guests. A low table sat at the center, crystal glasses filled with deep red wine neatly arranged atop it. The three envoys from House Lionheart were seated opposite one another, their posture stiff.They were dressed in dark, military-cut suits with the royal insignias denoting rank. These men were sent on a critical assignment—to retrieve the princess. But deep down, they were restless, not because of the princess but because they'd be dealing with The Big Man.Sebastian stood at the side with a composed expression, pouring red wine into crystal glasses for the three visitors.“…a vintage imported from the southern valleys,” he said smoothly. “A personal favorite.”One of the envoys lifted his glass, offering a thin smile. “You are most gracious.”The doors to the hall opened.The room shifted instantly.Sebastian straightened and turned, bowing slightly as Barry
A powerful uncle
"What kind of power exactly," Barry asked. Elara rubbed her temple, as if trying to refresh her memory. “I don’t know exactly. Some of my father’s loyal alias returned to the nation to see if they could regroup, to fight back and end the coup.”Her gaze dropped.The room fell quiet for a moment.Then the girl spoke again, her voice heavier than before.“The last message I received, came from one of my remaining sources inside the capital. They said the counter-coup failed. It ended without a single shot fired.”Veronica frowned. “Without fighting? How is that possible?”Elara turned to reply to her. “My supporters surrounded the palace. They had the numbers and weapons to counter the coup. Everything was in their favor.” She paused, her hands clenched by her sides. “But the moment they confronted my uncle, something unexpected happened.”"What happened?" Barry asked. She swallowed. “In the blink of an eye, every single one of them lowered their weapons and bowed to my uncle. They s
Princess Elara Lionheart
After driving the Draco family out of his city borders, Barry drove back into Liberty city in silence.When he pulled into the underground parking lot of his penthouse building, he cut the engine and stepped out without a second glance.He tossed the keys casually to the nearest valet.“Park it,” he said.The valet caught them instantly, nodding with respect as Barry walked past him.He entered the elevator alone. The doors slid shut, sealing him as the numbers climbed. His reflection stared back at him from the mirrored walls. Barry could barely recognize himself."Veronica was right," he muttered, feeling his face with his hands. "I haven't aged a bit."Now that he had awakened Sebastian's gift, he felt powerful than the average human.His senses were heightened, his reaction time was insane and he could outrun a speeding bullet. In that short fight with Draven, Barry's entire body had evolved rapidly. He even possess a special ability which Sebastian calls the TIME SNAP. The TI
