Chapter 133 - Some Past Arc.

The bounty hunter's group consists of three men. They brought Terence to a farmhouse(?), in the farmhouse is the legendary healer, Mr. Shiya, and his two sons who are about the same age as Terence. They treated him and give him food without any comment on his look. And so he joined them.

Years later, they conquered a large bounty hunter's organization that consists of more than five hundred people and named it as Kingdom. One of trio lost in that fateful scissor paper rock game and been forced to be the leader, which is known as the King, while the other two are forcibly assigned as co-leaders, which is also known as Duke, as the King was not happy to accept that position, and thus the Trinity of Kingdom are born. And this is when the real story began.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you serious about giving me the same surname as yours?" young Terence asked.

"Yes, I want you to put away all your past and the clan that abandoned you. You deserve a new life." said the King.

With the given surname, Terence had made an oath that he will never betray the King no matter what. However, this is also the start of the unpleasant event that happened to Terence that gave him the title of Dark Prince.

Whenever there are special treatments, there will be jealousy, especially when you feel that the other party is inferior to you, although most of the time it's just you the one that is narcissistic.

And so, those people who were jealous of Terence who share the same surname with the King start mocking him with his darker skin tone. Since Terence shared the same surname with the King and the Trinity were quite protective of him, so they considered him as a 'prince', in a more negative meaning. With his darker skin tone, they call him Dark Prince. Terence didn't really care about that as he felt that name sounds kind of cool if putting the ill intention aside, however, someone didn't really seem to be agreed at that.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Uhm... Why did you suddenly become my son? I'm not that old." said the King to Terence.

Then the King warned whoever that spread that nickname with mocking intentions.

"Terence might not care about what you people did as he had gotten numb of it. But I'm not as virtue as him. I care. I definitely don't want to see this kind of discrimination in my place. I hope you all can understand, and if you are having any issues with this, you may leave, now." said the King.

And so, about one-third of the five hundred people left.

"Are you doing this because of me? It's not worth it." said Terence.

"You are not the sole reason I did so. This kind of meaningless discrimination will become a deadly damage for Kingdom if not handled properly, eliminating it is the most effective and efficient way to handle it." said the King. Terence looked at him, with a self-blaming look without saying anything...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many years had passed. Kingdom had grown into a really powerful and fearsome organization that can be considered as a real kingdom. That nickname of Terence had not been mentioned anymore, although there are still some fancy or weird rumors about it. But then, there is a certain memorable incident that brings up that nickname again...

That day, the Trinity was out dealing with some matters with the Celestial Court, leaving Terence, who is now with the rank of Marquis with the title of Dark Knight and the newly promoted *White Knight - Lex in charge of the Kingdom.

*Lex = Shiro chan.

Everything was quite normal at the beginning until someone noticed something that hidden in the shades.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey look! There's something in that dark corner." said man A.

"Ah! You are right, there's something moving in the shade... Hold on! It a man! Ah! It's C!" said man B.

Then a man crawled out from the darkness, his body is covered in blood and some scary black aura.

"Stay away from the darkness and shadow!" the man shouted below getting dragged back into the darkness by countless of weird shadow hands.

In less than an hour, that sector of Kingdom had turned into a living hell, the people in there got slain by an unseen party in the dark and shadows. High ranked fighters had been there as reinforcement, however, their enemy was too strong, and most importantly, they don't even know where their enemy was hiding. The only thing they could do is to get all the people out from the dark and shadowy area.

"Try to minimize the linking area between shadows, that creature seems to be able to move freely inside of shadows." said one of the fighters.

However, his theory was obviously wrong. After they dispatched the people away from shady areas, they found out that their enemy was not only able to move freely inside of shadow without been seen, they can also move freely in between shadows, and thus, another bloody massacre was about to happen.

Suddenly, a thunder struck a big area of shadow under the ceiling decoration, a man with a thick beard appeared at the struck point, that man wore an eastern traditional outfit.

"You are from the Celestial Court?" said Lex who reached the area just in time along with his subordinates, the lightning just now was from Lex.
