《RISE OF KING》


 1 The Chosen One

    Somewhere in space, two huge forces were facing each other. One is made up of insects and insect-based creature lead by a humanoid form of a betel. He looked at the army in front of him which were much smaller in number led by a man wearing full body armor in crimson color with a sword in his hand. Followed by several races like dragon-Bourne, elves, demons etc. to contend against him.


    The one who was leading the insect army is Geru, their sovereign and god. He looked at the army before him saying, "You all better surrender to us otherwise only death is awaiting for you, especially you Alexander your death will be far more devastating then you could imagine."


    Alexander who was wearing full-body armored looked at Geru and just waved his sword, before commanding, "Soldiers get ready for the war", before the war started.


    As the war started, everything happened as Alexander planned. The insects were slaughtered as chicken despite being greater in number. Seeing this Geru felt that something is wrong, as he inspected later on he found the problem. He shouted, "How the hell did they get this information. How did they managed to found about this poison? We clearly remembered that it is found in our planet and we had never ever made contact with anyone from this realm. So how is this possible? Answer me you bastard, answer me."


    Next day, on the battlefield, Geru himself graced his presence which was within the expectation. His exoskeleton body was further reinforced by several equipment''s which almost made him a walking tank. None of the warrior were able to contend against him except Draco-race. Alexander who was equipped with special armor created by the Dragon God, attacked Geru with his sword, which stopped Geru''s momentum. He looked at Geru and said, "So Geru how was the surprise?"


    "So it was you bastard. How did you manage to know about our race secret?" he roared.


    Alexander chuckled and said, "You know long time ago I had made a visit to your realm, don''t you remember it, Genenvier?"


    Hearing this name which were known to few who were closer to him. He looked at him and said, "Just tell me who the one who leaked the news you bastard is?"


    "You still don''t recognize me my friend. We had met once the Kirkit Range, don''t you remember that ruin?"


    "You¡­.you bastard so finally I manage to found you. There is an unsettled business its best you appeared before me now all the truce would be settled between us."


    On the last day of war, there are still unending army on Geru''s side faced against hundred along Alexander side. Alexander looked at the army before him and said, "Warriors thank you for coming along with me on this campaign. I don''t want to say too much expect that crush as much insect as you can", before he disappeared before and them and appeared before Geru and attacked him with full force.


    Clang! BOOM!


    Huge body of Geru stumbled back a little, and crack appeared on his armor. Both of them disappear together and appeared almost within the range of fifty kilometer more than hundred times which results in death of various Geru''s soldiers. But war continued, without any affect. Several spells collide together like Fire, poison, lightning, ice blizzard etc. Which holds magnificent side on the battlefield. War continues on both Geru and Alexander fought this battle as if it was their last battle and several insect were agitated by watching their leader being defeated. Soon they also participated in the battle and the one-one duo soon change into one versus hundred.


    Finally in a huge crater, Alexander was there, his whole armor was already broken. Sword which was considered unbreakable was also broken into halves and was alongside him. His whole body was covered in blood. Geru, landed before him, out of six limbs two were already severed, he looked at Alexander and said "Alexander you truly gained my respect. If only if you swear your allegiance to me I promise you, you would not be mistreated. Also you will be appointed as governor of hundred plane around it. What do you say?"


    "Allegiance? Long time ago I had given it to someone but they only toyed with it. Since then I had promised to myself, I would never ever lower myself to everyone", Alexander said while smiling.


    "Master careful he is trying to self-destruct himself!" someone shouted from behind before Alexander was beheaded from one of the general following Geru.


    Several weeks later several corpses were littering everywhere. On the surface of a destroyed planet, there was a hidden cabin. In the hall there were several elderly figures who were from different races, who were discussing something among themselves. The whole hall was little chaotic. The leader of that committee and stomped his staff on the ground which shook the whole hall, and everything quieted down to pin-dropped silence. He looked at the people below him and said, "We know that everyone holds someone who according to you are perfect hero and could change destiny of your races, but I think you should look at bigger picture and that is, we have to choose someone who not only had extraordinary achievements but also could be respected by everyone. And if we take look at that, then although there were several legendary heroes, they still couldn''t hold a candle before Alexander, not because of the fact that he was human but because he could he raise from a place which none of us expected him to be from. Also not only that, he had strongest influence among all the races which you could think about and lastly he was the only opponent who rivaled against Geru on equal ground and no other had as much knowledge as him, neither that much experience because our main focus on Chosen One is to contend against Geru."


    After that long discussion once again broke out before the result was decided.

 2 Reincarnation

    Whirlmoon City, capital of Frolin Empire, in the palace area.


    In a remote palace, in a room, whole room was engulfed in darkness. A young boy who was around seven year old was currently sweating heavily while lying on the bed. No one was there to take care of him.


    "Huff! Huff! Bloody hell that was quite suffocating."


    "H¡­how am I able to speak! Breathe! I clearly falling down the cliff before losing consciousness. What happened to my voice why it is childish?" he looked down and found that his hand were smaller as compare to adult palm. He tried to stand up but felt down on his leg like thousands of needle pierced him. He just gave up and lie down. "Hmm¡­ why does this room look familiar as if I had seen it somewhere?"


    "Fuck was not this my room before that so called Queen mother ''found'' that ''cure'' for me?", he said in realization. His thought were little chaotic at this time when another bomb blasted before him.

    Alexander chose [yes] when a mechanical voice rang out in his head, telling him, "The Sovereign System is created my mysterious organization and host is being selected to wield it after careful consideration. This system will help you in not only becoming strongest but it also helps you in becoming a great ruler. And if host refused to follow this path then your soul would be torn apart such that you never ever had chance of reincarnation once again", hearing the last statement for some reason Alexander started sweating. Before he could say anything the mechanical voice once again rang out, telling," The system works on a System point or sp which could be collected through completing missions and it could be exchanged with various things available in store.

    REMARK- A little worm who couldn''t even crawl


    "System what the hell is this Remark that ''a little worm who couldn''t crawl''", Alexander said while gritting his teeth in anger.


    "..."


    "Host had received a congratulatory gift. Does host wants to open it?" a notification appeared before him.


    "Why not. Just open it."


    OPENING THE GIFT¡­.


    HOST HAD BEEN AWARDED WITH FOLLOWING REWARDS:


    ESSENCE OF WORLD TREE [x3 BOTTTLES]


    TELEPORTATION POINT MARKER [x2]


    SOVEREIGN MEDITATION SET [ONLY FOR HOST]


    1000 SP


    "System can you tell me about these things which I had received?"


    ESSENCE OF LIFE TREE: it had ability to cure almost all kinds of injuries and poisons, but it is also quite rare so use it wisely.


    TELEPORTATION NODE MARKER: had ability to created teleportation gate for you. Only those who host allows had ability to use it.


    SOVEREIGN MEDITATION SET is a meditation set created by ??????? for the host. It is very powerful meditation set which will allow you to absorb purest form of Universal essence from surrounding.


    "Are there any specific condition to consume Essence of life?" Alexander asked excitedly.


    "NO", a cold and to the point response came from the system without any more details. After that he instantly consumed the Essence of world tree. Few minutes later a soothing sensation started to spread all over the body of Alexander followed by pain as if thousands of ant crawling below the skin along with being pierced with countless needles. Slowly consciousness of the Alexander faded away due to pain, after all he was just a child.


    Next day,


    "Oh god! What had this bastard done yesterday? Why is the whole room smelling this terribly? I had cleaned it just few weeks ago. This cripple bastard will never allow me rest easily," a maid was shouting in the Alexander''s room. Which broke Alexander''s sleep. As she sees him waking up, she sneered, "This bastard is finally up. If not for his royal blood I would have killed him long ago. Come down Milly, calm down."


    After that she carried that seven year boy roughly and just throw him in the bathtub before rubbing him roughly. She just failed to notice the cold gaze which was staring at her since the beginning. Alexander looked at her action and had only one thought in his mind, ''Enjoy your life as much as you can ants. Soon you all are going down which would be my first step towards my vengeance.''


    For one week everything was peaceful until one day an accident happened and that was enough to make them know about the abandoned prince who was still alive in the palace.

 3 Mission

    One night, while Alexander was leaning against the wall and was planning about what to do in future a notification rang out.


    DING! Host you had received some missions. Open mission tab to see them.


    "System can you tell me details about this missions which I had received."


    "Host missions are divided into three categories which are MAIN MISSION, SIDELINE MISSION and COMPULSORY DAILY MISSIONS. MAIN MISSION are those missions which can''t be cancelled and didn''t have too much time limit. They have higher rewards. SIDELINE MISSION are those which are triggered under special circumstances. The rewards which they offers could be considered quite well, and they appear frequently. While the COMPULSORY DAILY MISSIONS are those missions which are compulsory and should be completed within assigned time interval otherwise there would be punishment whose severity vary from mission to mission."


    "Now does host wants to check the mission he had received?" asked the system.


    Alexander allowed it when a screen appeared before him with all the missions listed on it. These missions were

    Alexander looked at the missions and accepted first main mission while ignoring rest of all. He looked at store and saw various items like BONE STRENGTHENING POTION, INVISIBILITY POTION several prank tools and many others. He bought three items which costs his 775sp which were bone strengthening potion, invisibility potion and a special equipment which would light fire after specific interval of time.


    After that he secretly started his therapy for walking and when he was able to walk smoothly he drank bone strengthening potions. During this period of times he also monitored every single soul who were working in his palace. They were really enjoying themselves completely forgetting about his presence.


    One night, Alexander drank invisibility potion and took stroll around the palace while placing the equipment in various corners of the palace. After that he returned to his room and pretended to sleep, when fire broke out.


    FIRE! FIRE! Everyone started to created havoc on the palace which quickly alerted whole imperial family. Several soldiers started running towards the palace, while water were being thrown. Although there were several mages they were unable to control the situations. Hearing the commotion emperor and empress both woke up from their sleep and asked their servants to know about the situations.


    It was only than did the emperor remember about his son who he long forgotten about. He immediately cover himself and dashed toward the direction of fire. As he was about to reach their he saw several concubines are already their along with two queens and the empress. While he was trying to understand the situation a humanoid figure jumped from the first floor. When they looked clearly they found out it was the seven year old prince who was supposed to be cripple. Soon, he dashed toward the unconscious boy, and took in his own arm to heal him with magic. He placed the unconscious price in the secretary arms and then looked at the servants who just ran out of the palace.


    A domineering pressure covered the whole area, and fire was put as soon as possible. He looked at the servants who were currently bowing before him and said, "So is this how you serve your master? Good, good,good. If he hadn''t jumped from the first floor then my son would have been burnt alive." A huge magic disturbance occurred followed a huge flame engulfed all the servants who were there. Within two minutes all the servants regardless of their status, age or gender were turned into ashes. After that he took the second prince towards the royal hospital.


    Few hours later, an old doctor came toward the emperor and sighed. "His majesty the situation it is little complicated then you think" said the old doctor while placing the reports to the emperor. He took the report with frown and started reading it. As he read the file his faces started to become darker and darker. He looked at old doctor and asked, "Doctor is everything written in this file is true?" this time he was completely enraged.


    Doctor just nodded and left the hall. Emperor who was there with his secretary, started laughing like lunatic. He said, "Joseph we are monarch of the Frolin Empire, the one who holds highest power in the empire. But within my empire, in my own palace, one of my child is not only found to malnourished but he didn''t had anyone to save him. Joseph investigate this matter carefully we want full report within two days. Also punish all those servant under the charge of treason and completely eradicate their roots. As for Empress, issue a decree and ground her for whole month also sent a letter to Queen mother to take the charge of internal affair as soon as possible."


    After few days Emperor read the reports and issued several orders. Like second prince should be moved to Bluemoon Palace, as well as one of most famous butler and lady and was chosen to take care of him, along with newly recruited 50 maids. A group of 100 knights was assigned to him as his right as prince along with an estate in capital. Also he was assigned the pocket money almost equals to the first prince.

 4 The Bluemoon palace

    Royal hospital, in Alexander''s ward, he was currently dressing up. Today, he was discharged from the hospital, and soon a message was delivered that Emperor Richard will himself escort Alexander to his new residence, the Bluemoon Palace. It was considered to be one the most luxurious palace.


    On the gate of the hospital, there was huge carriage attached to seven white horses. Joseph, secretary of the Emperor helped Alexander to mount on the carriage, where he saw his father, currently reading some documents. He greeted his father, but Robert (Emperor), just made some gesture and once again engrossed himself in documents. Whole journey was ''peaceful'' until they reached the Bluemoon palace. As both of them mounted down, Robert look at the palace and said, "We had spent all our childhood in this palace. There are lot of memories attached to it. We just hope that you took great care of it and show your worth to us and to empire."


    As they entered the gate, they were greeted with an army made up of 65 knights, 15 mages and 10 shadow guards, led by Captain Richard Wesley and Wizard chief Sam Redcliff. Captain Richard was in early stage of tier-4 CORE FORMATION RANK whereas Wizard Sam was at peak of Tier-4 CORE FORMATION RANK. Emperor Robert as the witness, each and every one pledged their life to the Second Prince Alexander Dragneel. It was an essential ceremony which had to be done by every single royal irrespective of their status. Robert looked at Alexander and said, "From this moment onward their life depends on you. Whatever decision you made would affect their live too so be careful in future. Also they are your most trusted subordinates and would only follow your instruction."


    After that they were greeted by hundreds of servant who were on both side of the lane. At the center there were four people, an old couple and a boy and a girl of same age as him. As he saw the middle couple he immediately recognize them, they were Redhone couple who took care of him in his past life, when he was staying in the palace. After that, they introduced the boy as James the page boy assigned to him and girl whose name was Alice who would be his personal servant. After that they entered the palace where introduced the palace to him.


    In evening there were many visitors like the second and third queen, eldest princess and his uncle made a visit to him. He was also notified that empress couldn''t met him because of the punishment she was currently facing. That night, when Alexander dream about his past life.


    The memories which were hidden, were refreshed. He saw how he was injured, how the so-called Empress Mother ''cured'' him. How she used him and he fought for his eldest brother. For his eldest brother how he committed various crimes, he killed his own relatives and much more. In his past life although he was considered strongest in the Empire he was also named as Demon lord by the commoner. Even he did some heinous crimes, many nobles used this opportunity and used his names to commit crimes which he never dream of and when he want empire to investigate one who stand against him was his good brother. Later on, another empire demanded his head as token for treaty and he was hunted down since then. He fought continuously for several years while hiding. In order to survive he learnt various evil arts too. Finally he fell from the cliff and after that his memories are blur. When he woke up it was already afternoon. He had his breakfast before entering the library. He took an empty book and wrote every single major events which were going to took place in a language which he created. It had record of several rebellions, epidemics, inventions, laws, wars etc. which he could remember before putting it in inventory. After that he created another notes on all the famous persons in his past life along with the achievements they had until he was there.


    After everything was over, he said, "System are there any new missions."


    "Host didn''t have any new missions but he did have a message and the rewards for the last mission has yet to be collected. Does host wish to check on them?" asked system.


    "Hmm¡­open the message first", said Alexander.


    Soon a message appeared before him which were:


    [Alexander Dragneel, you had been informed that from tomorrow onward Compulsory Daily Missions are going to start from tomorrow. We hope that you could complete it as soon as possible as there are punishment if you failed to do so.


    -Your System]


    "What the hell? System what does this message mean?" asked Alexander.


    "....."


    "System show me the rewards which I get from completing the missions."


    M#1: Get rid of all the spies


    Evaluating¡­.. your performance is being rated as A+


    You had won following REWARDS: RECIPE FOR BATCHES [1000sp] X3 20% discount coupon


    Rewards had already placed in your inventory, you can check there.


    In the inventory he appraised the two items which were like this:


    20% discount coupon: You can use this coupon to get discount from any purchase from the store.


    Then he looked into the recipe where he saw the details about the batches. The material required were few alchemy items like purple iron, mana crystal and magical beast blood.

 5 Compulsory Daily Mission

    Bluemoon Palace, it was sunrise time, sky was already red. A certain young seven years old prince was currently lying on the bed sleeping peacefully. He had black hair, covered himself in a golden blanket.


    BEEP! BEEP! DING! DING!


    "Uhhhh what the hell? Who the hell is playing these instrument don''t they know this great lord is currently sleeping?" he mumbled.


    Warning! Warning! HOST WAKE UP AND COMPLETE THE GIVEN MISSION WITHIN 10s¡­.9s....


    But Alexander chose to ignore it.


    Shhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiii!


    An electric shock strike the Alexander. He woke up and jumped from the bed. He looked around and sighed as there no one noticed his disgrace. While he about to go for sleeping once again, he was hit by another shock. This time he heard a remainder, "HOST IS SUGGESTED TO COMPLETE THE TASK ASSIGNED BY THE SYSTEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OTHERWISE PUNISHMENT WOULD BE INTENSIFIED"


    He followed the system''s instruction and completed his first set of mission which was EXERCISE. Everyone was shocked looking at adorable disheveled look the cute little prince before them and hardly hold back their laughter. Later on he was forced to read book by the system and practice swords and cultivate the universal essence.


    Universal essence is the absorbed by the practitioner and were used by them, in form of path they followed. For example Warriors absorbed them to cultivate their auras, wizards as mana stones and so on. Each practitioner are divided into various ranks which are NOVICE, FOUNDATION, POOL FORMATION, CORE FORMATION, APPERENTICE, HIGH, GREAT, ARCH, BODY TRANSFORMATION, NASCENT SOUL and TRIBULATION. Each tiers had strict requirements aside from just increase in strength. There are mythical beasts and various herbs who also absorbs these essence too. The beast absorbs them as Beast Essence and it increased their strength several fold within same rank as human practitioners. There are some other phenomenon too in which these essence are materialize into various other forms in different conditions which are considered as rare treasures.


    Few days later, Alexander was already get used to his new schedules. His weird exercise attracted lot of attention and several maids just sneakily peaked on him exercising, as he looked too cute. One day when he was exercising, he suddenly, heard Alice asking question to him.


    She asked, "Uhmmm..hi¡­his highness why are you doing this exercise?"


    This question instantly attracted lot of attention as lot of people wanted to know about it. The page who was blindly following his master sneered, "What do you know? Does his majesty had to tell you about everything he does?"


    "No¡­I mean, I was just curious about it. His highness please forgive me for my mistake", she suddenly started crying. Alexander looked at the little maid in front of him. She was same as him, who had blonde hairs. She was currently shaking and looked quite pitiful. He sighed and said, "James you shouldn''t talk to her like that. Alice, the exercise which we are doing currently had many benefits. It would not only increase my stamina, but it also stimulates the blood flow, as well as burn unnecessary calorie in my body¡­.." after that a long lecture was delivered on it which he had learnt from the system. After the lecture ended, Alice said, "His highness although I don''t understand what you said, but it feels quite exciting I would join you next morning."


    "Oh, but you had to be careful as first few days would be quite painful. Also, you would need a lot of determination to able to stick with it", Alexander warned her seriously.


    "Don''t worry his highness I would not disappoint you", Alice said with determination. Slowly the new and details about the exercise spread all over the palace and later on hospital did confirmed everything which was mentioned by it. This also was added as the merit for Alexander and he was awarded with several treasures later on by the Emperor.


    At evening, he looked at James and said, "James can you tell us about our schedule."


    "Yes your highness"


    "Tomorrow we will visit the Alchemy tower and botanical garden so make sure to properly arrange everything. Also notified about this to the Uncle Jarvis too", Alexander ordered.


    Next day, at Alchemy tower. They were welcomed by the Solon who was a second tier alchemist. Alchemist held special status in any kingdom as they are mainly responsible for doing research on various potions as well crafting various equipment which are necessary for the kingdom. And the position of head alchemist is almost as respectable as Emperor. Each major city and towns had alchemy tower in it or are either in collaboration with some magic towers.


    Alexander looked at Solon who was currently greeting him and was little shocked. As he knows that in future a huge incident happened in his past life, and victim of that incident was currently standing before him. The incident was:


    It was time when the election for council members were about to be organized. Solon had discovered a special engine which were responsible for creating aircraft, and it would almost confirm his seat in council but his opponent who had backing of noble family stole his research and published it under his name. he tried to fight back was completely surpassed by them which forced him joining the Rebellion army, and he created various potions and weapons which greatly increased the strength of the Rebellion army and become a major challenger for prince to inherit the thrones.


    Soon he came back to senses, and looked around. Solon came in front of him and said, "Good Morning his highness second prince. I am Solon Machell, outer disciple of Alchemist Charles who is head of the Empire''s Alchemy Association. Today I would be your guide. Also before we start our journey I wished to warn you that please don''t touch anything without my permission as there might be something which would harm you."


    Hearing this James once again entered the argument mode and said, "We don''t need you to tell us what to do and what n¡­." he was interrupted by Alexander.

 6 The Alchemy Tower

    "The tower which you are in is the second most important tower of the Alchemy Association. As it is dedicated to the Royal family. In the capital city there is another tower which is head quarter of the Alchemist association. This Alchemy tower is 40 story building out of which you had access to fifteen floors only. For higher floor you should atleast have permission of the Emperor to enter in it. There are several floor dedicated for certain parts. Like fifteen floor is the storage room, fourteen for puppets, thirteen for armors and war-puppets, and twelve for weapons¡­. which are generally known by almost everyone. Second floor has stores where you could by all kinds of potions and equipment''s while third floor is library", Solon was moving in front of us while giving general overview of the alchemy tower.


    Now the lets moved to second floor. At second floor we saw huge market with lot of stores which were decorated luxuriously. Solon looked at the direction of stores and said, "Only nobility and recognized citizens are allowed to enter this area. The stores in this floor are operated with the collaboration of various departments including Alchemy department like Herbal garden, arts and literature associations etc. let''s move to second floor."


    On the fourth floor, there are various alchemist who were currently manufacturing potions. Solon looked at them and said, "They are new recruitment of this tower. With the increase in their experience they are granted with new office. You know his highness this place is dream for all the alchemist as it is an efficient way to climb social ladder. As the potion they are making is the simplest potion which is basic healing potion."


    After they visited various floors, they saw manufacturing of mining puppets, armors, etc. after the whole tour, Solon said, "So with this our tour ended his highness. Do you have any other question?"


    "Sir Solon if you may, can we visit the storehouse of the alchemy tower", Alexander asked while looking at the Solon with lot of expectation. Seeing the cute little boy in front of him, Solon was unable to resist the charm and took him to the Storeroom. He looked around and saw several rows filled with different materials. While wandering in the storeroom, Alexander muttered, "System I would like to use teleportation marker here."


    COMMENCING THE TELEPORTATION MARKING¡­.


    TELEPORTATION MARK IS ACTIVATED. YOU CAN FREELY ENTER THIS PLACE.


    "Ok Sir Solon we can now move out now", said Alexander.


    After leaving the Alchemy tower, he bid farewell to the Solon and moved toward the Herbal Garden. There he was greeted by Selena who was daughter of head pharmacist.


    Selena presence also brought surprise to Alexander. He became little excited as the one who greeted his the famous ''Angel of Frolin'', she had created various potions and treatment method for various disease on her life-long carrier. During that time not only did she managed to save thousands of life she was also able to make empire recover from various epidemics. Because of her efforts she was granted with the title of Duchess and was accepted in the council of Pharmacist Association. She was youngest permanent council member in the history of Pharmacist Association.


    Selena looked at Alexander and said while giving an overview about the herbal garden. She said, "His highness, this herbal garden has lot of rare herbs which are collected with great difficulty. The whole herbal garden is another plane which are embedded with magic. It is divided into various area which provides different environment as per requirement of herb. You will find Iceland, desert area, volcano, demon fields etc. the herbs which are present are from commonly used Arigl Grass to the most rare phoenix fruits which grown once in a century. "She took him to a huge spring and gave them a glass of water to drink. She introduced the spring an Aether Spring. At the bottom of the spring has special formations which mixes the universal essence from the atmosphere with the spring water which is later on used for irrigation purpose. As they drank the water, they immediately felt rejuvenated. After that, she took him to various other places. They saw Golden Sandalwood forest, Black lumber forest which are used making furniture''s for nobles and imperial family. After that she led us various field where they witness the farming of herbs and crops. Because of special cultivation method the food which were normally eaten by the kingdom are full of universal essence it is only available to Royal guest, crown prince, empress and emperor. Beside them other prince and princess had to gain merits to earn these grains as rewards which are good for their cultivation.


    After visiting the garden when everyone was resting he secretly placed another marker and managed to complete the sidelined mission.


    After that day onward various herbs and fruits were secretly started to disappear from the herbal garden similarly various materials started to disappear from the alchemy department. Because the amount were so small that no one manage to found about their disappearance.

    "System why are you too stingy with the rewards" asked Alexander.


    One month later, Alexander who was currently in the secret compartment in his study room, Alexander looked at the wall opposite to him. He smirked and said in serious tone, "Now let''s move over plan forward."


    "Fuck this childish voice."

 7 Allies

    Bluemoon palace, in the study room. Currently, in the room there are three people, Alexander and the Redhone Couple. He looked at them seriously. Alexander looked at the couple before him. They looked to be in late 40s. Although they looked normal couple but Alexander know the history about the ''harmless'' couple before him.


    From what he had heard, Uncle Redhone or Jarvis C. Redhone, when he was at peak he was a swordsman who reach was a peak high rank swordsman when he just 30 year. Everyone had hoped for him to become sword saint but an unexpected accident changed his life. His son offended a noble family and was injured by them to that extent that he entered comatose state, in anger he asked permission of emperor and went for revenge. Although he managed to eliminate the Noble family but price was much greater than he expected. He was poisoned and whenever he use universal essence the intensity of poison intensify. As for his wife, she is also a tier 5 water high mage. She was in shock when her son was injured, and failed had protect the family.


    In his past life, when he placed the first prince on throne. He was awarded with the title of duke and this couple took good care of him. They treated him like his own son, and had when the imperial army charged into his territory for the so-called ''justice'' they helped him in escaping the castle. This was the debt which he owed to them.


    He looked at his Uncle Jarvis Redhone and asked, "Uncle Jarvis do you trust me?" his serious face was cute for the couple in front of him. He smiled and said, "Of course my sire."


    "Uncle Jarvis do you know about my mother?" Alexander asked. Hearing prince mentioning his mother couple were also alerted and felt something wrong. He looked at them for answer, when Lady Mary Redhone responded, "Of course sire. We know about her. She was most brilliant alchemist Empire ever had, and if that accident hadn''t happened she might had already reached the Grand master rank by now."


    "You know my mother had left and inheritance for me. Which I received few months ago, and I am able to walk because of that. I think you both know about my poisoning case", Alexander said seriously. "His highness wasn''t that just a mistake made by the doctor?" asked Lady Mary with little expectation.


    He ignored the question and placed a piece of paper and two batches before them, and said, "If you agree with the conditions mentioned there I am willing to cure both uncle Jarvis and your son, because what I need most are allies. As you all know that there are no such thing as familial tie in royal family and the war of throne which would happen this time wouldn''t be as simple as it look because there are many hidden enemies who are already making move. And this flame of war sooner or later would reach me too. So please chose your decision wisely."


    Both Mr. and Mrs. Redhone looked at contract before deciding to sign the contract. He gave a potion which was bought from the store and by using once a lifetime 100% discount coupon to buy the antidote for uncle Jarvis. It was red potion which was drunk by uncle Jarvis in one gulp. About one hour later when the medicinal effect disappeared, he found out that poison is completely eliminated from his body. Both of them kneeled before him in gratitude.


    Alexander made them stand, gave them a bottle and said, "Thank you for accepting my offer and trusting me. This is the Essence of world tree which could help your son from recovering from old injuries. You should hurry up as we had to move into next phase of our plan. Also this is manual which have details on the batches which I gave you. If your son decided to follow me than do tell me I would gave him another batch too."


    "His highness you had already done enough, please take this potion back it is very rare", Jarvis said pleadingly. Alexander shook his head and said, "Uncle your son is a talented magical knight. If he could be recovered then he could become a valuable asset for us in future. So why should we waste this chance. As for this potion I still had few bottle so don''t worry."


    The Redhone nodded and immediately dashed toward their home. That night, Redhone couple once again recovered their long last happiness. They had never thought there would be a day when their son would recover on top of that recovery of Mr. Redhone. Mary looked at her son and husband and said, "We owe a lot to the Second Prince. We should help him as much as we can after all we had seen the cruelty of the war of throne ourselves."


    Jarvis agreed to her statement and said, "Yes you are right. But didn''t you see that second prince seemed to lot more mature than he looked to be. And beside that I think he had someone to rely on otherwise he wouldn''t have taken such a risk and negotiated with us despite knowing our history. Also I found it rather strange, when he said, the War of Throne wouldn''t be as simple as it looks."


    "Let''s put that aside and celebrate ourselves. Oh by the way we shouldn''t forget his warning and kept the recovery of our son a secret. He had already said that if that want then Second Prince is willing him to train him by himself. And from what I had seen I think under his guidance there is a chance that our son might reach an unimaginable height too." [Jarvis]


    "We could only hope that." [Lady Marie]
