13 Chapter 13 Blue Scaled Horse.

After entering the Southern region, he can feel the strong connection between his flame dragon and the other flame dragon but he can't feel the exact location.

"My Lord, the nearest clan jurisdiction from here is in Purple mist city", said the blackguard.

"Let's start from there", the man in the mask said as he played with the azure blue necklace in his hand.

Soon five days were over and today Prince Nuthir arrived in Alfing City. Althea along with her parents went out to receive the Prince.

The city gates were wide open and a carriage drawn by eight beasts entered the city. The carriage was made of black iron and on it was drawn several high-level runes meant to strengthen the carriage defense in case of enemy attack. It can be seen at a glance that it was the work of a high-level Inscriptionist.

Althea stood without any emotion on her face, she was currently observing the carriage. When she saw the eight beasts that were drawing the carriage, her interest was piqued. Even though she was not a Beast tamer in her past life, she was quite knowledgeable about the beasts.

That eight beasts were not any ordinary beasts, it was a high-level Blue scaled horse. Even though it looked similar to a horse, it has the fangs of a wolf and its tail was like a barbed wire.

The Blue scaled horse is said to be an offspring of an ancient dragon horse and blue wolf which was infamous for its vicious fangs. And it is found only in the Emerald valley, Central region.

Prince Nuthir's arrival in a carriage drawn by eight Blue Scaled horses attracted a lot of attention from the people. Many people were seeing the Blue scaled horse for the first time because it's very rare even in the central region.

"What kind of beast is that?"

"It's my first time seeing this kind of beast. It is surely a rare high ranked beast. It looked expensive"

"The southeast kingdom is indeed the richest in the Southern region"

"All thanks to their minerals and especially the black obsidian. They are also the one who supplies the top quality rare black iron for forging weapons to the Weaponsmith Guild"

The Weaponsmith Guild is also one of the strongest forces second only to the five great powers because weaponsmiths are extremely rare in the land of Dura. The reason is, that only those people born with yellow and orange spirit light can become a weaponsmith. The orange spirit light helps in forging the weapon, while the yellow spirit light can help in inscribing a rune on the weapon thus giving birth to a spiritual weapon.

Many people started to discuss among themselves after seeing the Blue scaled horse.

The Carriage stopped near the place where Althea and his parents stood. Afterward, a handsome man in golden robes walked out of the carriage. He was wearing leather boots embroidered with golden thread. He had short brown hair with blue eyes.

After walking down from the carriage, Prince Nuthir slightly bowed to the Luvan family and said, "Greeting the city Lord and his lady"

"Your highness, forget about the courtesy, let's head to the mansion, you might be tired because of the long journey," said Duriaz stopping Prince Nuthir from bowing.

From the start, Prince Nuthir didn't even give a glance to Althea. But Althea was not bothered about it because currently, she is thinking about something with her eyes fixed on the blue scaled horse. She felt that Prince Nuthir's visit to Alfing City this time is not simple. Others may not know but Althea knew it very well that the Blue scaled horse cannot be bought.

The Emerald valley where the blue scaled horse is found is under the jurisdiction of the Beast Tamer Organization and Prince Nuthir has a Golden spirit seed, which means he is a Beast Tamer.

'Did the Beast Tamer organization recruit Prince Nuthir under their force!' thought Althea.

But after thinking for a while, she found it even more baffling because the Beast Tamer organization will not give out such a rare beast like Blue scaled horse just for recruiting Prince Nuthir. After all, his talent can only be considered average and he doesn't possess another spirit light.

'Just what kind of transaction happened between the southeast kingdom and the Beast Tamer Organization! Is the Rainbow cloud Academy aware of it!' on the way back to the mansion Althea was preoccupied with this thought.

After reaching the City Lord's mansion, Prince Nuthir was warmly welcomed into the mansion.

"Your highness is your visit to Alfing City this time related to the news about the appearance of the peerless treasure!", asked Duriaz.

"That is only one thing, there are three reasons why I visited the Alfing city this time", said Prince Nuthir as he placed the teacup on the table.

"The first reason is of course due to the appearance of the peerless treasure and the second reason why I am here today is to let the Luvan family know that I am no longer a Crown Prince, but now I am a member of one of the five great powers, the Beast Tamer Organisation," said Prince Nuthir with a tinge of arrogance in his tone.

"The third reason is, now that I have joined the Beast Tamer Organization, I cannot marry someone with a mediocre talent"

Shooting a glance at Althea who was silent from the start with contempt in his eyes, Prince Nuthir continued, "Therefore, I am sorry to say but we have to cancel the engagement that was arranged before. I hope the Luvan family would understand"

Duriaz and Furiana's expressions slightly changed after what Prince Nuthir had said. No matter how much Prince Nuthir tried to conceal the contempt in his voice, he cannot hide it from someone who has years of experience in dealing with different kinds of people. As a city lord who had come across all kinds of people, Duriaz can look through Prince Nuthir's thoughts and read between the lines.

"Prince, this marriage was arranged by your father, the king, and my father-in-law. so, I don't think you have the right to cancel this marriage", Duriaz said as he clenched his fist under the table.

" I have already discussed it with my father. By now, the letter about breaking off an engagement with Miss Luvan might have already reached the Baro clan"

With arrogance in his voice he continued, "Besides, as a member of the Beast Tamer Organization, what will others think when they learn that my fiancee is someone who is considered a trash in Alfing city"

"Mind your words Prince Nuthir" shouted Duriaz as he slammed the table. He could no longer stand the arrogant prince who insulted his daughter in front of him.

Prince Nuthir got up from his seat and said with a sneer, "City Lord, did I say something wrong! what I am telling you is the truth. Everyone knows that Althea will forever be a low-level mage"

Turning his gaze to Althea, he said, "Miss Luvan, I know that you will be heartbroken but you should also know that we belong to different worlds. I am destined to soar high while you are destined to stay here in this small city for a lifetime"

Prince Nuthir thought that Althea was heartbroken after noticing that she hadn't spoken a word.

"Prince, you are going too far", Furiana couldn't stand the insults and shouted back.

At this moment, Althea who was silent from the beginning suddenly said, "I don't agree with you"
