"Preparations have been done" said Lancelot in a composed manner.
Lucien who was standing infront of an enormous mirror looked at his face and said "the scars on my face tells a different story".
Lucien paused and added "each scars on my face felt like a achievement before. Now it feels as if these are the very things that are trapping me from inside".
Lancelot looked at lucien with an sympathetic look but he immediately changed into his normal, calm and composed face.
Lancelot opened the door and said "I know you can do it, also we are just going to meet this girl for now and after meeting her if everything goes as planned then only will we proceed forward towards the alliance. It's not like we are going to a war so calm down".
Lucien looked towards lancelot and said with a deep gloomy tone "easy for you to say, your sanity is still intact and people all around the world respect you as one of the greatest high class warrior alive".
In the world of sumaka, warriors are divided into 5 classes:
1.god blades
2.hell breakers
3.champions
4.awakened
5.knights
Lucien belonged into the hell breakers and lancelot's class was still unknown.
Lancelot immediately stopped and turned around. He looked at lucien with his dark brown eyes and said in an annoyed yet respectful manner "there is a reason i chose you. Many kings and emperors wanted me to be their protector but i still chose you".
Lucien who was still standing infront of the mirror forwarded both his hands forward and asked "what was the reason? Why did you join me?"
Before leaving lancelot added "that is none of your concern for now".
Lucien saw lancelot leave as he closed the door with a heavy slam.
…
In west of sumaka.
Nero aplhs.
A place filled with water everywhere. The water itself was pure and serene. Water was flowing like a waterfall but it was from an invisible sky. The waterfall was flowing towards the large gates which was in an grill formation and they were black in colour. The water also flowed towards the castle which was brown and black simultaneously. On the right side there was a huge watchtower with yellow colour and several statues of skeletons were outside of the watchtower. If one looked at the sky above the castle carefully they could see clouds and from clouds there was a steam coming out of it with some pure water.
Inside the castle a muscular tall frame sat on a heavy black throne. The throne was black and there were several spikes on it but only around the armrest. This throne also had an red cloth covering it, on the the red cloth there was a sword shining with a blue light and on top of the sword there was a symbol of fire. This was an emblem of arjen empire.
The tall muscular king who was sitting on the throne had light grey eyes with long black hair and he wore a blue armour and brown greaves in his legs. He had a sharp nose with thick yet elegant beard. He was also wearing a crown with serval diamonds on it and the crown and his build both gave him a sense of dominating power.
Soran arjen stood up slowly as he saw his minister walk in.
The minister bowed and said "my emperor do i have a permission to speak?"
Soran eyed him carefully and said "i heard the king of karsen have gone mad".
Minister paused for a few seconds and said "yes, so should i send him a letter?"
Soran smiled and said "ohh how have i waited for this moment for so long".
Soran added "you know when i was a kid i always had somewhat of an jealousy with that mad king. As he grew i eyed his every move.
Soran's tone gradually got more aggressive as he added "whenever he won any war i was the one who was facing loss. And on top of that he got that sword which my family has been looking for thousand years. Why him of all people? Why couldn't it be me? I have worked for everything day and night and he have gotten every single thing easily".
Minister who was expressionless before now he also had a sympathetic look in his eyes.
When minister was just about to speak soran interrupted and said "send a letter to lunaverth and to the red kingdom".
Minister was taken aback as he asked "forgive me for my behaviour but why send a letter to lunaverth, i can understand the red kingdom".
Soran turned back and slowly looked at his throne and said in a deep voice "the three things i wanted the most is with him. And I can't stand that."
The three things he wanted was the sword, lancelot and the girl he loved truly who was the special princess of lunaverth.
…
Inside the palace of lunaverth.
Room of princess "freya sairose".
Freya was standing there with her pale white skin. Her small features made her look very elegant and beautiful. She had a slim and small nose with green eyes. She was of medium height which resembled female warriors of that time and she wore a beautiful white dress with a flying dove as her pendant.
She was looking at a small mirror just as she heard a knock on her door.
"Who is it" said freya in her melancholic voice.
"It's me". Said by a sharp voice on the outside of the door.
"Father come in" said freya casually as she was deep in thought.
Rayon sairose opened the door as he saw his daughter in deep thought.
Rayon had a small green eyes with thick black mustache and a sharp nose with thick build. He was wearing a red armour with a small black robe.
Rayon sighed heavily and said "what is the problem with you now?"
Freya was taken aback as she saw her father with her green eyes and she looked down slowly and said "i am not ready".
Rayon looked at her with annoyed eyes and said "this is why privileges should always be with mens".
Freya stood up hurriedly and said "i know how you feel about me but I can't go in a kingdom like that. Who knows what's gonna happen with me".
Rayon walked over where freya was standing and immediately grabbed her hair as he said in a disrespectful tone "I really don't care what happens with you. You are just a burden for this great kingdom. I am finally happy that you are going and you are going to be the queen of the red kingdom. Be grateful that a kingdom like that are accepting you otherwise I thought you were going to be a burden for all my life".
Freya wasn't shocked as she knew this was going to happen but there was still a hope left deep in her heart that her father is going to agree with her.
Freya said in a low tone "i know i am a burden for you but maybe one day you will accept me and see me as a human not as a trade".
