Sol frowned in concentration as he sat cross-legged on the grass while facing Freya who was also seated with her legs gathered under her.Edea was currently in her house, at the beseech of Freya.The fact that she had pink panties didn't really surprise him, nor the fact that she was utterly unashamed to show him her underwear. No, what was bothering him was his element.It would have been one thing if his element was something like metal or fire or lightning, but no, his element was something super hard to grasp.It wouldn't have been a problem if he was a full dragon. But as a hybrid, he didn't have the instinctual ability to use his element. He needed to at least get a feel for it by himself before some sparse instinct began to kick in.It has already been more than 3 hours since they sat like that, but Freya didn't seem particularly bothered. She was just looking at him with an empty gaze. It was particularly unnerving since she had seemed so bubbly at first.Feeling frustration a
After Sol managed to enter his own dimension, he thought that what would follow would be a simple training. Something to adapt himself or so.What's more, he didn't really have that much time before his birthday and his official party.How wrong had he been, he had totally forgotten that Edea could accelerate the time difference between her world and the outside one.What he lived through was hell, his training was divided into mana use with Lilith and magic with Freya and Edea, they had decided to focus first on his mana use, since he had a ceremony to go through–fighting in the colosseum.He didn't need to hide his capacity to use magic, but he did not want to display it either. Not for any weird reason like hiding his true power, but simply because his mirror dimensions was simply too much of a powerful trump card to be exposed so easily.Just how much information could he steal with this power? It would completely change the war that would happen in a few months.As such, they dec
"This will be our last fight before the start of your ceremony. Are you ready?""I am, don't forget our deal. If I succeed in breaking your sword or wounding you in a place that should have been fatal, I win. Once I win, you will listen to one of my demands.""Breaking my sword would mean that your intent was stronger than mine, any warriors need to be rewarded. So I will listen to any requests from you."Sol and Lilith stood apart on the clearing that was repeatedly bathed in Sol blood during the span of those forty days.Perhaps in the future, he would look back to those days with fondness, but currently, he just shivered at the thought and decided to lock those days behind a wall.Lilith was wearing her usual ridiculously revealing purple Qipao, a glowing blue large sword in her hand, while Sol stood in his trousers and a glowing golden long sword in his.This was a pure mana construct. Few if any used intent in such a crude way in a fight. Each hit would cost too much mana to main
"Since I have won, I will make my request now."Lilith, who was previously blushing a little, had her face pale at the speed of light the moment she heard his words."Please, tell me your greatest secret."The wind stirred as Lilith faced the resolute eyes of Sol.She didn't bother to play dumb. For him to ask something like that would mean that he had already received some hint from someone else. Most likely Camelia.Of course, she also knew that Camelia was unlikely to have given him too much information, and as such she could easily lie to him, but she refused to do it. At least not now. Sol wasn't a child anymore."Please ask something else."She wasn't ready yet. She did not want to reveal this secret. If possible she would have loved to take this secret to the grave and never let Sol discover it.Surprisingly, Sol didn't insist,"Alright. So how about that. Let's have a date."What kind of nonsensical idea her nephew had again?Sol, standing in front of his mirror in his bedroom
Sol was somewhat ashamed. In his nearly fifteen years of life, the moments he really spent time outside of the tower, while albeit rare, were quite numerous as he regularly visited the church and also visited the coliseum when he was younger.But the moment he truly spent exploring this city? Never once.He generally was in a carriage extremely protected or directly used the gate for his movement. As such, even though he was the one who initiated that date, the one giving the direction was Lilith.Lilith wasn't some introverted queen who thought she was too high to step to the commoner level. At least, before becoming a queen, she spent much of her time as an adventurer and explored many parts of this city or the world.Sol had some experience dating in his past life, but this experience couldn't be completely used here. Still, it was enough to not become an embarrassment.They mutually decided to omit the shopping part. All their clothes were tailor suited and created with the greate
Leaving the south zone, they entered the North one. They were completely opposite and quite far apart, but compared to his hell training, walking such a long way was just relaxing.The north zone was under Duke Highland. The Duke was directly responsible of the army as well as the highest-ranked soldier.If the zone under the Milaris family was full of stores, restaurants, and others such things, the zone under Highland was calmer and sparsely populated. The atmosphere felt more deary and full of solemnity.This was the zone where different martial art schools could be found.All the humans could awaken to mana once they reached 15 years old. But only 10% of them could have a capacity high enough to make a contract with a rank E magical being and if they were lucky to obtain an element could they use magic. Only 1 out of 100 people could make a contract with a D rank magical being.In short, 99% of the human population was unable to use magic. The fact that even a queen like Lilith wa
(AN: This chapter was asked by the *******. These events happen just one day before Sol awakened his core or two days after Sol took Camelia’s virginity.)"Head maid, the breakfast is ready to be served.""I see. I hope you avoided the things his highness did not like.""Head maid, what about her majesty’s breakfast?""Do as always. She isn't picky."The maids snickered at the obvious difference in way she was acting. Despite that, none of them were particularly surprised. It wasn't the first time and it has been for more than ten years."Head maid, his highness is awake and is about to take a bath.""Was the temperature set to ideal?""Who is the one on service today?""Two of the newbie and one who already served for about two years.""Any of them already received His highness favors?"The maid frowned as she took a notebook before checking the name."One of the newbies was part of a previous rotation and already received his favor. The other two did not."One of the maids blushed h
Under the darkness of his room, Sol laid on his bed, eyes open.After the rather heavy discussion, none of them were particularly interested in continuing the date so they decided to go back, each of them heavy with their own thoughts."Well, agonizing is useless. I need to pay attention to tomorrow. But–"He didn't really need any more preparation for tomorrow's fight in the coliseum. Of course, he could have entered Edea's world but it wouldn't have helped much. He needed to relax. He needed to rest.Rousing from his bed, he walked out of his bedroom and began to walk toward the maid quarters. More precisely, Milia's room. He needed her help to alleviate the suspicions he had.The maid quarters were at the west of the large floor dedicated to Sol. Reaching it, he turned a little and finally reached the door of Milia's room.'Now that I think about it, I have never entered her room.'"Milia. It's Sol. I need to talk to you.""Yo-you're highness! Kya!"He tried to open the door but wa
