Chapter 4 - A young boy

Rayon sairose was walking back and forth in the large hallway of lunaverth.

The hallway was huge with several brown pillars and several servants bowing to him as rayon passed them hurriedly.

Just as he was about to enter his chambers, he heard a soft voice calling for him.

He looked at his right and saw his youngest daughter standing with a harp at her side.

Rayon said in a deep voice "you cannot bribe my love for her".

Rayon's eyes moving back and forth to his chambers and at the same time towards the harp.

Rayon sighed and said in his normal tone "alright come in".

Grisha smiled a little but didn't reveal it.

As she was walking towards her father's room she saw a knight at her left choking.

The knight was holding his left hand towards his throat and it seemed like he was going to faint any time soon.

Grisha looked at the knight with shocked eyes and just when she was about to call for her father, the knight eyed her and gestured his right hand to stop her.

Grisha was confused as she didn't understood why was the knight trying to stop her.

The knight swallowed and said "princess sairose, do not worry. I am fine". He said coughing slowly.

Grisha said in her soft and gentle voice "are you sure everything is alright?"

The knight stood tall as he was continuing his duty pretending nothing happened.

Before walking for the duty he turned around and said "princess you should focus on your family. A knights life is least of your concern especially when the empire is about to rise once again".

Grisha's eyes turned a little sad when she saw the knight walk away. She picked up the harp and continued walking towards her father's chamber.

Rayon looked at her and said "what took you so long?"

As grisha was arranging the harp she said "this thing is quite heavy".

Rayon said "you could have asked me for help".

Grisha who was looking down suddenly lifted her head up and said "can i really? Can i rely on you father?"

"Yes, of course" rayon said casually.

Grisha looked down at the harp again and gently put her hand at the strings.

She said in a gloomy tone "this harp has too many strings, one must carefully play it otherwise the sound it will produce will make everyone unhappy".

Rayon eyed her carefully before saying "yes well harps are not to be played recklessly instead it should be treated with love and care".

Suddenly there was a shine in grisha's eyes as she said "exactly father".

Rayon looked at her with deep thought before realising what she meant.

His nature which was was casual turned serious.

"I see you are still looking out for her". Said rayon in a mocking tone.

Rayon chuckled and said sarcastically "oh what a perfect sister you are. Embodiment of sacrifice and love. Ohhh what a family i have".

Grisha's eyes fixed on the harp, now looked at her father with a pleading eyes and said "father please".

Grisha added without any thought "i beg you to free her".

Rayon said with a slight angered tone "I am freeing her. She is getting married into one of the most powerful and influential empire. She is gonna live happily there".

Grisha stood up and said "she saw a vision, a vision that can put her into danger".

A visible frustration arose in both rayon's face and his voice.

He said "not this again, this is the reason why our empire is in this situation".

He added "she and those bloody visions are curse for this great empire".

Grisha chuckled sarcastically and said "great empire?"

She looked at her father with her dark green eyes and added "she saw destruction of lunaverth in lake".

West of sumaka.

Nero alphs.

Soran was waiting for a reply for his letter. He was restless as he was walking in his "hall of ashen" which was the throne room of nero alphs.

Just as soran was about to sit in the throne filled with spikes on the armrest, he heard a sharp voice calling for him.

Soran was shocked as there was no one aside from him in the hall of ashen.

He turned around immediately drawing his crownbreaker and carefully surveying his surroundings.

Crownbreaker, sword of soran which has a golden handle with red markings on it and the blade itself had some glowing characteristics whenever one draws it.

Soran half closed his eyes and said "whoever you may be I won't hesitate to cut in you half, so it will be better to just show yourself rather than hiding like a coward".

Immediately a man appeared in front of soran as he took two steps back instinctively.

The man was in his late fifties and was wearing a dark brown robe with his face slightly covered but not fully. He had dark brown eyes with white hair around his eyebrows and his fully grown beard. He was of medium build and didn't look that dangerous in first glance, the back side of the dark brown robe had a dragon symbol on it. A blue dragon breathing golden yellow fire.

Soran carefully composed himself and asked "whoever you may be?"

The old man with his hoarse voice said "i heard you when you were talking about wanting three things in life".

The old man looked up slightly as he added "they can be yours if you follow my instructions".

South of sumaka.

The red kingdom.

Lancelot was travelling towards a city called "the wizpuri".

As he was travelling with his horse "bahhalika" he suddenly a thought.

"The city of reylight is also in the way, should i perhaps visit there for a few days?"

Lancelot shook his head "no i must focus on my duties".

As lancelot was galloping with his white horse he suddenly saw a lake in which a young boy was drowning.

He immediately stopped his horse and ran towards the lake and jumped without any thought.

He swam through the not so dangerous waves and reached the place where the boy was drowning. He grabbed him tightly by his waist and pulled him up.

Then lancelot went for the the shore which was not far away from them. As he was swimming through the rippling water, the young boy kept gasping for air as he was nearly close towards the shore.

They both reached the shore in a matter of about few minutes. They both heaved a sigh of relief as lancelot looked at the boy and asked "are you alright there?"

The young boy who was nearly dead couldn't believe he was saved as he looked back at lancelot and said "you are my saviour".

Lancelot said "oh i am no such thing but yeah i did save you".

The young boy stood up immediately and bowed to Lancelot to show his gratitude.

The young boy who was saved collapsed and his eyes closed as he fell but lancelot caught him.

Lancelot looked at him and said "ahhh i can't leave you alone now".

Lancelot added "looks like you are coming with me to the city of wizpuri".
