With Arran’s confirmation, the silence in the lounge became pregnant with meaning. Everybody was lost in thought because what Arran said just now carried an important significance that needed to be contemplated.Eldencraid, the kingdom of the Aeolus.Just as Charmy had said, was the home of the Aeolus. The Aeolus were Aeth who were under the rule of the Air Ruler among the seven rulers, and Eldencraid was their kingdom.Collectively, the seven rulers were the highest authority of the entire Aeth civilization. Naturally, there can be no ruler without a kingdom to rule.Each of the seven rulers had their own kingdom, making for a total of seven kingdoms. The Aeolus kingdom was just one of the seven.Each of the seven kingdoms was located in sub-realms, pocket dimensions hidden inside the Etherium with the mother planet being the capital of each kingdom, which made up the center of the entire civilization.Unlike other traditional kingdoms, where the power of authority lay with the ruler
The expression of doubt portrayed on Councilman Taylor’s face was clear to see as he tried to understand what Arran said.Unperturbed, Arran repeated what he said previously.“I said I met my parents inside the palace hall.”Confirming that he hadn’t heard wrong, Councilman Taylor fell into thought.Regarding Arran’s parents, there was a lot of speculation about who they might be. Basically, it was hard to guess who Arran’s father was. Because the conditions for a Kingsman to be born were very stringent, it was very easy to trace Arran’s genealogy on his father's side.Jeremiah Nero was the biggest suspect for being Arran’s father. Four hundred years ago, he was the latest Kingsman under the Nero Kingsman lineage and at the time of his disappearance along with the Aeolus kingdom, Jeremiah had yet to have any heirs. Considering that the Nero Kingsman bloodline had been cut off following Jeremiah’s disappearance, it was easy to conclude that he was Arran’s father.But all of this was ju
As soon as Arran made his declaration, all eyes on him were filled with a variety of expressions and emotions.There was shock, surprise, doubt, and wonder, the most prevalent of those emotions being shock and doubt then amazement.Among them, Captain Chavis was both shocked and doubtful, while Eris and Charmy were filled with surprise and wonder. Councilman Taylor was mostly amazed. He had already guessed it, but hearing Arran’s confirmation; he was still amazed nonetheless.There was no doubt in the Councilman’s heart that Arran was speaking the truth. It was because something like this was very easy to prove. As long as Arran’s blood was tested against the samples of the royal families kept in storage, his lie would be easy to disprove.As for why Arran’s blood had not been tested to find out about this much sooner, it was simply because nobody had thought about it.Just think of it first. Who would think that a random stranger who showed up one day on your doorstep was biologicall
After hearing all Arran had to say, Councilman Taylor finally let out a long breath that he’d been holding for some time.Hu!Thinking of all he had learned, the Councilman was in deep thought...All this time, a lot of speculations had been made regarding what happened four hundred years ago. Among them had been no lack of guesses about whether the Aeolus kingdom faced a great enemy that wiped them out or if they had encountered an unpredictable natural cosmic phenomenon that caused them severe damage that they had to seal themselves.But now, from Arran’s mouth, Councilman Taylor was hearing an account from somebody who had experienced the incident four hundred years ago.To know that there was an enemy out there powerful enough to force the strongest kingdom of the Aeth to seal itself... Councilman Taylor felt that things were very tricky.There was silence in the lounge for a few seconds. It was not only Councilman Taylor who was in deep thought. After hearing what Arran said, the
Everybody saw the World Essence Pulse Bracers flash with light in agreement with Arran’s question. Immediately, they knew what this meant.Everybody here was aware of the abilities of the sacred artifact, World Essence Pulse Bracers. It was able to gather the world's pulse or, in order words, the power of not only worlds but also any planetary body in the universe.The World's Essence Pulse Bracers was a supreme space artifact. Not only could it gather the power of planetary bodies to infuse in its user, but it also had the added powers of space manipulation and position shifting. One of its abilities was to lock onto any coordinate in space and open a space gate directly to the location.Think of it as a small abyss gate that you could use to go anywhere in the universe. Naturally, prince his ability works best if you’ve been there with the bracers before. But if you wanted to go to a place you I’ve never been before, it would take a long time for the bracers to scan for the coordina
Arran led Eris and Charmy back to the auction, where he introduced them to Trapp and the others.The introduction was very brief. Both Brianna and Vanna were already acquainted with the two princesses, so they only greeted each other simply.When Arran introduced Trapp, Sadie, and Jon, their interaction was pretty neutral. Of the three, only Trapp piqued the princesses' interest, but because he covered himself from head to toe, they quickly lost interest.Not every girl liked a guy who acted mysteriously.“And finally, this is Elena. She’s been our guide since we arrived here and she’s been a lot of help.”The last person Arran introduced was Elena, but as soon as he did so, he felt that something was wrong.As soon as Charmy set her eyes on Elena, her pupils turned into slits, and Charmy’s brows furrowed into a frown. A sinister smile appeared on her lips and her expression was overall frighteningly frosty.With a sugary drawl that dripped with venom, Charmy said, “Oh, I’ve heard abo
“Ahhhh!”“Finally, this blasted auction is over. The boredom was killing me.”Charmy was the one who spoke just now, complaining about the auction.“Hey, how can you say that?” Arran rebuked her quickly.“You were not even here from the beginning, so why’d you say it was boring?”Faced with Arran's rebuke, Charmy snorted in response.“Humph! So o have to start from the beginning to know the auction is very boring. It’s always the same, anyway. No matter what shows up, those other guys are the ones who will end up getting all the fun.”“For little kids like us, there’s nowhere for us to butt in. Don’t think everybody’s like you who gets to crash the party and strut around for a few minutes.”“Hey, you can’t blame that on me. How was I to know that I would get something when I came here?” Arran defended himself.“I didn’t even know there was going to be a secret auction. A coincidence... everything is just a coincidence.”With a look of disdain, Charmy said to Arran, “Yeah, you are very
With Arran taking the lead, the group reached Ladon.The cat was sitting on the bar counter with a bowl of milk placed in front of it. Occasionally, she would drink from the bowl, and when she wasn’t, Ladon seemed to be playing with something in her hands.Stopping in front of the cat, Arran was silent for a moment. After not seeing this lazy creature for some time, she seems to have become even more lazy. She also completely ignored Arran’s presence like she hadn’t noticed him at all, despite him standing right in front of her.Arran didn’t know what to say to her. But before he could open his mouth, other people had already beaten him to it.“Wow, what a beautiful cat! Where did she come from?”Seeing the cat on the counter, Charmy’s eyes glazed in excitement and she hurried past Arran to lift her up.Seeing this, Arran’s face paled in terror.Remembering how this was not an ordinary cat but a colossal and powerful creature, Arran hurriedly tried to stop Charmy. But he was still too
