13 Child of prophecy

Even massaging her temples could not help with this headache Uld experiencing. All this while, Uld have been planning counterattacks to avoid the empress schemes and also protect Vance in the shadows.

Why? Why did Master Xenia...no...Lady Carina requested such a thing? She could never understand.

"Lady Uld, are you alright? Should I call for a doctor?,"

Uld glanced at his knight, Demetrius. He is the only sole disciple of Xenia. And Xenia, her hero, is someone she looks up to when she was a child. Just thinking about her makes Uld blushed. The stories her deceased mother told her every night as a bedtime story makes her dream of meeting Xenia every time.

Now she finally got to meet Xenia, in flesh, but in a different body.

Carina could easily recall her memories where she protected Helena and also the times when she trained Demetrius. Those things that only Xenia would know. It's a clear evidence that the reincarnation is real.

"Demetrius, Lady Carina present favourable terms indeed but...,"

"Yes Lady Uld. In exchange for eternal sleep, she would protect the prince by being his tutor," Demetrius continued.

Uld is grateful, at the same time, worried about Carina. Her terms are indeed favourable. The Aspera family is an untouchable ducal household. Just having her by Vance's side would protect him. However, the price for her cooperation is the spell of 'Eternal Slumber'.

Eternal Slumber is the same as death. You can never wake up from it. But why does Carina requested such a spell?

The Eternal Sleep is the most ancient spells of the Frigore clan, related to the prophecy only the Frigores and the hero, Xenia is aware of. Because the spells are so ancient, it is not attainable through normal means like the current tomes and no mages can perform it.

But those in the prophecy could.

'The blood of the thousandth seed of Frigore shall bloom its destruction in power and ancient history shall once again be awakened'.

Which means, Vance is the child of the prophecy, that holds that destructive power and soon be able to perform ancient spells.

Uld is worried if Carina's knowledge is to that extent, but whatever it is, she will abide to those terms and will find a way for Vance to perform that ancient spell.
