The moment Setsuna took off her helmet, an uproar swept through the crowd. Most people believed the gladiator king to be a man. An old and rugged man to boot. Never in their wildest imagination would they have thought that the strongest gladiator was a woman, and one so young.But, out of all of those, the biggest reaction was in the lounge belonging to the Gorfard family.Leonard, after seeing Sol's display, was already tearing his hair out in frustration as he screamed in the lounge.He couldn't accept that. He refused to accept that. The fact that this shitty prince was so powerful, he was an irregularity.'Yes! Camelia! The supreme daughter! It must be because of her, there's no other way.'Calming his bruised ego with his thoughts, he failed to notice the reaction of the slave beneath his feet as she murmured with a surprised expression.Sol, facing Setsuna, calmed himself down before closing his eyes in reminiscence."As we have promised back then, once I beat you, you will tell
>What did it feel like to be hit by a punch at the speed of the sound?Sol just tasted the answer.The entire Colosseum trembled as Sol was propulsed like a rocket before hitting the wall and becoming embedded in it.Even as his vision was obstructed by the debris of the wall and his mind slightly blacked out, he didn't know whether he should be amazed by the fact that Setsuna reached sonic speed or the fact that he didn't die under that hit.'Sigh. My situation is becoming increasingly worse.'He debated using his mirror dimensions but ultimately decided against it. This was a trump card he wanted to use for truly dangerous matters. Like the war for example. Keeping it a secret was for the best.'Well, since she used magic then I guess I can use intent now.'Exhaling a little, he firmed his resolve. His own intent was still a little weak and not complete because of his lack of experience, but it didn't matter. After all, he had something else to support him.
A young blue-haired girl was running with a blank expression on her face. She was wearing a bright white and red kimono filled with jewels.Despite her clearly expensive clothes that would make anyone envious, the situation she was in wasn't something to be envious of. After all, she was fleeing.Under the light of the moon, the princess was being pulled by one of her kunoichis. Despite that, she would sometimes look behind her in dismay.In her eyes, the reflection of the burning castle and the golden lightning falling like the Wrath of the Heavens was being seared in her young mind.High in the sky, three large wolves that were at least four meters tall, two with beautiful golden fur and another one with a deep blue color could be seen fighting. The result of this fight being of apocalyptic proportion. Lightning flashed and storms gathered. Nothing in a kilometer radius aside from the burning castle was still standing.Murmuring under her breath, tears began to gather and her blank
"I see, so you are Setsuna."In a large room, a blue haired little girl could be seen standing in front of a blonde haired woman.'Incredible! So this is the daughter of Castitas. How powerful.'It wasn't the first time she had met someone at the level of a ruler. But compared to her father, or even her uncle, the woman sitting with a faint smile in front of her made all her instinct scream in submission. She had to give her all to not simply roll over and show her stomach.Seemingly noticing her discomfort, Camelia showed a smiled in apology before dispersing the silent pressure that was filling the room."I am sorry. Your father was someone I respected very much. Hearing about his potential demise is something truly sad and I lost control of my emotions."Setsuna lowered her head at the mention of her father. Her eyes reddened as she fought to hold back her tears. No matter how far she had fallen, she was still the princess. She refused to show such a disgraceful sight to a stranger
(AN: Those events happen few days before the tournament.)Sol was currently resting in the church after having fled from the training with Lilith. He didn't mind being trained harshly, but he also needed to relax from time to time.“To think Sol fell asleep so soundly, that crazy Lilith must really be tiring him.”“Indeed. However, his sleeping face sure is cute…"While Sol was still in the middle of his dreams, two women entered his room, enjoying the sight of his sleeping face.One was Milia, his maid and the other was unsurprisingly Camelia. They were now sitting next to Sol, watching him as he sleeps.“Nevertheless, for him to not even wake up with two people so close to him. Perhaps Lilith isn't training him enough?""This isn't the case. I assure you that his highness senses are incredibly sharp. It's just that he doesn't consider us as a threat and as such his sense didn't wake him up.""Fufufu~! I see. In short, he felt at ease next to us."It was truly incredible to see a Mai
Under a shed in the hanging garden, a beautiful red-haired woman reclined on a rocking chair, a large white blanket covering her as she observed a young man busy himself around.White snowflakes fell like petals of a flower from the sky but thanks to a special barrier none of it entered the garden but instead drifted aimlessly around it, giving this sight a mesmerizing feeling.Sighing, the red-haired woman asked, "Why don't you let me help you, you know that I just discovered my pregnancy two months ago right? I still have between twelve to forty months before giving birth."At the end of the day, even though she looked like a human and had reproductive organs compatible with humans, she wasn't one. She was a dragon. A mythical creature mainly made out of energy rather than flesh.For the fetus to mature completely, it had to absorb her energy until saturation. The longer this went on, the more talented the baby would be. The problem was that during this period, the mother would be s
What followed was a simple speech where Sol talked a little about himself and his wish to make the kingdom stronger and better. The usual rubbish.He now understood a little why politicians always lied during elections. The populace didn't care about the truth. The truth was heavy and full of bleakness.What they needed was someone who could make them dream. Someone who could promise them better days ahead. That was also why religion was always popular no matter what era.Well, this was just his opinion based on his experience.After the speech followed by the applaud, Sol's role was pretty much over. It was just noon and he had until the evening before having to go visit the Highland family. As such he decided to go to the quarters in the tower of babel with Lilin.After welcoming her, Sol immediately began discussing with Lilin about her adventures."For the first few weeks, I just stayed in the kingdom."From what she said, she didn't simply leave without any plan. She stayed in th
In this world of fantasy and magic, Seven Kingdoms stood tall. Each of them, named after one of the seven sins, each of them representing one of the seven races inhabiting this world.Among them, there was the race of humans, and their kingdom was called Lustburg, named after the most hedonistic of all the sins, the sin of lust — representing the relentless passion and prolific desire the race representing it, humans, instinctually held.Presently, in a luxurious room situated at the very top of the royal palace of Lustburg known as the tower of Babel — a tall tower clad in the colors of white and gold, and stylized with archaic artistry — a young blonde-haired man could be seen sleeping soundly in a grandiose circular shaped bed, large enough to hold four or five people and still have enough room for them to sleep comfortably.“May I enter, your highness?”Whatever dreams the young man might’ve been experiencing were broken like shattered glass as his eyelashes faintly quivered, the
