7 Chapter 6

In the Eternal Kingdom, a prophecy only known to the member of Royal Family and high ranking officials are known.

"When the land rises,

and achieve the peace,

Four child with the blessing to protect the Kingdom,

but there is one who will seek to destroy it."

The King, Crown Prince, Prince Kaizer, the seven high ranking noble officials, 3 captain of the knight, and the great five sage of the towers is present. In the middle of them is a magical clock like globe who continue to rotate counter clockwise.

"The Goddess Rosana has sent a message!" The Crown Prince forehead tighten, and think that everyone in the room must be out of their mind. As the magical globe lightens, almost blinding to the eye, the crown prince smirk.

'They really think this thing is from some Goddess' he can felt the blood boil from his system. He think that it they are delusional. He wanted to abolish it. He wanted to destroy the items of the Kingdom.

The Crown Prince is tired of the Eternal Kingdom limitations, when he became an Emperor, he'll start competing with other Empire. Part of this is because of his inferior syndrome to Prince Hadean. No matter how small their Kingdom is, they are the descendants of the Goddess and is considered the protector of the world.

Cunning, greedy, and sly. That's why the King is uncertain to give the crown to Prince Darius. But on the other hand, if Prince Kaizer becomes one, they might become slave of other Empire because he knows that is Prince Darius is evil, the other one is an irresponsible bastard.

"An Azure bright young man,

The future ruler of the land."

As if the King's wishes were answered, Prince Darius world crumbled.

"Your Majesty, what could be the meaning of this?"

"Does this mean that neither of the Prince will become the next King?"

This is because since founding of the kingdom, the Goddess Rosana has been the one stating who will be the next ruler through the magical item.

"What the hell...?" his blood is boiling in anger. Everyone was now looking at him.

"Language, Darius!" the King shouted, but Darius just smirked.

"Do you really believe in that thing?" he asked, seriously. All the officials in there flinched at what he says.

"Did you just refer to the Holy Globe... a thing?!" they were taken aback by the rudeness of the Crown Prince. Everyone stands up but Prince Darius remained sitting.

Then he laughed.

"I am asking you, father, will you believe it?" he asked and the King was taken aback. The Duke of Lampagne was about to shout how rude but the King stopped him as he can sense something weird from the Prince.

"What do you mean by this, Darius?!" but Darius just keep laughing.

"This is the third time, My King," he stands up and come near his father. Everyone couldn't move.

"What did you put in our drinks, you crazy bastard?!" the Duke cannot keep his mouth shut. The Captain of the Knights also cannot draw their sword.

Prince Darius draw his sword and put it in the neck of the King.

"If not me, who would be the next King?" he asked furiously.

"Elder Brother, what are you doing?!" Prince Kaizer asked and was shocked at how impudent his actions were. He could not even speak a full sentence without feeling fear when talking to her father, but his elder brother, Prince Darius really dares to draw his sword.

"This is treason! Treason!" the sages shouted.

"Take them to prison, I shall now become the King," he proclaimed.

And the Kingdom turned into complete chaos. Laria could not believe Darius. At this rate, he will force her.

"I have to run! We have to run!" she said. As much as she wanted to rebuild the House Fordenn, she cannot afford to stay here. She knows what Darius can do, and how evil can he be.

'How can he so bold!' she asked in her mind. But if she runs now, where will they go?

She does not know many job to sustain their lavish lifestyle, nor she have any property far away as she is not yet the heir.

"Do you need help? teehee~" the voice once again spoke, but she has gotten used to it. It's been three months since Fierro was in their mansion, and at that night the voice started talking to her.

It introduce itself as Aria's self, her power. Laria's expression turned grim. She use all her means to remove the voice in her ears, like asking a priest to see her, and by using magic. There is just one thing that could surely help her, the Magic Tower.

But the dreadful voice is becoming out of hand. She was able to execute many things thanks to it, however, sometimes she is losing her temper because of it, and was able to do dreadful things.

Laria was able to get her hand on the mines and greenhouse her family is managing, that Consort Pamela corrupted eversince she came to the house. Her coming of age ceremony is near, and the Consort could not be relaxed because of the accomplishment Laria had. It is most likely the vassal will appoint her as the next head.

After three months of staying, Fierro Linkinheart, who proclaim himself as the next ruler of the East, gather his forces and is preparing to go back to his Empire. He completely master the intermediate level power of the Fire Spirit Loki. He is more powerful today.

But as he is constantly gaining power, His older brother in the East is negotiating with other Empires and Kingdoms to find him. What's worse, is that, he was now labelled as a traitor.

Laria was running in the hallway when she bumped into Fierro. A ray hope of light shone upon her as she have this idea.

"Fierro! I mean, P-Prince Fierro!" she looked at him as if he were some hero and that makes Fierro knot his forehead. Laria, the prideful noble lady, called him a Prince?

"What do you want?" he asked, curiously, as to why the Lady behaved that way.

"Take us to your Kingdom! I-I could be a good vassal and a good secretary---"

"What?!" Laria was cut off but she continue.

"Or even an alchemy, or an erevnitís!" Fierro could not believe what he has been hearing.

"W-wait! Wait! What are you saying?! Are you not the next head of the House Fordenn? What do you mean go with us?!" Fierro shook her shoulders and nudge her, when suddenly a pair of two firm hands grabbed her.

"What do you mean go with them, Laria?" she trembled at hearing his voice. Although he is very handsome and elegant, you would tremble upon seeing his expression.
