After a few hours of meditating Ashur felt that meditating was actually quite useful, first of all, it helps him control the force better as he actively felt the silver sphere or [The force] trying to teach him things, and unlike his two divinities, he felt that [The force] had actual sentience and was alive, unlike his two divinities.

When he meditated, he could feel it actively trying to reach out to him, and it wanted to teach him about how to use itself better and he could even feel its 'Joy' as it reached out to him.

This was really strange to him as he had never thought that he would have something like this before, a living power that was a part of him.

The was a weird experience for him, as he never thought that he would be communicating with 'The Force' like this.

What the force was currently teaching was 'Control'.

Ashur was already very proficient with controlling his divine power and knew how to control energies, but the force had properties different from the divine energy he was used to controlling and was a little tricky to control it fluently.

But with the help of The Force, he expected to be able to speed up the rate of him mastering how to use the force by leaps and bounds.

He wanted to see if he would be able to use force push by the end of the day, but he knew that the best he could probably do was push someone off their feet and not really injure them much if he did.

This was mainly because he noticed that when he uses the force, it's not really powerful like in the movies, and the best he can do is unlock stuff or levitate things.

He figured that since The Force is connected to his magic stat, it would probably increase in strength as it increases, and he hadn't forgotten about increasing his mastery of The Force.

As Ashur continued to meditate, he suddenly heard a knock on the door and a voice on the other side of the door said "May I enter?"

"Come in," said Ashur as he continued to meditate.

Soon, a different maid from the last time entered inside. The maid had long waist-length green hair, emerald-colored eyes, and long elf ears.

Although Ashur currently had his eyes closed, he could roughly make out her appearance, as he had The Force spread out over towards her direction, and through it, Ashur could see a blurry image of her using the force.

But what caught Ashur's attention was her age.

She appeared to be around the same age as Riveria.

As the maid entered, she quickly looked around the room, and soon spotted Ashur sitting on the bed with his eyes closed.

"Sir Ashur?" she asked as she looked at him on the bed.

"Yes?" replied Ashur, before he slowly opened his eyes.

"The king is summoning you," she said as she scrutinizingly looked towards Ashur.

Ashur did not know why she was suddenly looking at him so intently, but he decided to ignore it, and grabbed his phone that was next to him, with the silent Ene inside, and quickly hopped out of the bed.

"Let's get going then," said Ashur as he started walking towards the door, but quickly noticed that the maid was not moving.

"What's wrong?" asked Ashur.

Turning towards Ashur, she started speaking. "My name is Aina Tulle, I'm princess Riveria's personal chamberlain. I have been wanting to meet you for a while now"

"Riveria's?" asked Ashur.

"Yes, there was supposed to be another maid coming to bring you, but I asked to bring you instead because I really wanted to meet you for a while now," said Aina.

"Meet me?" Ashur asked.

"Yes, I wanted to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart for rescuing Riveria," said Aina as she suddenly bowed towards him.

"I just did it because I felt like it, so you don't have to really thank me, I just did it for myself"

But Aina did not relent and said "Even so, you still saved Riveria, and for that, I wish to thank you."

"No problem, but shouldn't we get going?" said Ashur.

"Ah! Yes, We should get going so that they won't be mad at us for being late! Please follow me!" Aina panicked as she started leading him towards the throne room.

After walking for a bit, they soon came across a huge door that had two guards positioned on either side.

As they approached, the guards didn't stop them and started opening the huge throne room doors to let them inside.

As they entered, Ashur saw a huge throne room with exquisite gold and wood decorations all around. There were also lights powered by magic stones littered around the place, such as on the walls and ceiling to light up the huge room, and a long red carpet that led up to a gold and wood throne.

On that throne, was a man with fancy green robes that was lined with gold trim and a gold circlet on his head.

That man was currently looking at Ashur as he entered the throne room.

Ashur walked with calm and unperturbed steps as he walked down the long red carpet alone as Aina had already left to the side, as she had finished her task of bringing him here.

As he walked the carpet, Ashur soon noticed that there were many people inside, with most of them being guards and officials, but he also noticed that there were others inside as well, such as a young girl that was far off to the side and was staring at Ashur as he entered, she had long jade-colored hair and a blue frilly dress that anyone could tell it was expensive just by looking at it. Even though she was wearing a frilly dress and her hair was done up, Ashur instantly recognized her as Riveria.

Ignoring the intense gazes from the King, Riveria, and the others from the side, Ashur calmly walked up along the long red carpet, before stopping he kneeling down a few meters from the king before saying "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Larfal was a little surprised, as he wasn't expecting for a child like Ashur to be this calm, and to also know proper etiquette considering his age, and the fact that he heard Ashur came from outside of Alf's Royal Forest.

Ashur has to thank a large amount of isekai manga he read for this.

"You may rise," said Larfal.

"The reason I have summoned you today is to reward you for saving my daughter Riveria from a fate worse than death. If it's not too unreasonable, I will reward you with any wish you would like" said Larfal.

Ashur thought about what he wanted for a second, he didn't really need anything, he didn't need some land or valis, as with his skill in blacksmithing, he could get a lot of valis, and probably more than what they would give him, if he just started selling some of his creations.

The best thing he could probably give him would be some rare materials or some title....Wait! Ashur suddenly had an idea for what he wanted.

"Your Majesty, I have decided on what I would like, if possible, I would want to..."

As Larfal heard Ashur's request, the expressions on his face changed several times before slowly going back to normal.

Even Riveria who was on the side couldn't help but be shocked at Ashur's request.
