Chapter 35 : Workings of The Empires

Thorkell looked at Cain and spoke

"Lord Cain , we can cover up what happened in the guild and inform that we are recruiting you and Lady Aurora it's better if we hide information about Lord Cain from your mother" Aurora little puzzled asked Thorkell

"Why ? she said she would agree right and it will be helpful to get new resources for Cain to become strong"

"Lady Aurora , I don't want to offend you but I think it would be best for Cain's identity till Cain is able to reach Saint rank . He then would have the strength to escape even if your mother attacks him "

Rebecca adding

"Yes , even I think it's for the best . It's better to be safe we can inform that Thorkell was surprised and took a disciple for himself looking at Cain's potential as a fighter" Elaine continued

"Let us take the path we are following to the URF we can reach at the same time the IAC is conducted we can announce there only if it's necessary Cain as your husband or we can push him on as Thorkell's disciple "

Aurora looking a little displeased spoke

"Fine , so what do we have today ?"

Thorkell looking at Aurora and Cain spoke

"I will have to go and examine the remaining adventurers by the afternoon , today night there will be a Ball held in the Zrervin estate . But Lord Cain are you fine with travelling with us , you might have to change your plans because of us"

"Don't worry much , while we are travelling lets just stop at dungeons for a few days as we travel and having daily spars with you would also be the best as i can gauge myself against a strong opponent "

"Thank you for the praise my Lord , and don't worry about any financial funding Lord . We will be able to fund you in Lady Aurora's name as funding a upcoming Warrior . There is a program in Aquonia Empire , where top and upcoming adventurers or mercenaries become funded by the government through recommendations of top level warriors in the government . Me , Rebecca and Elaine can recommend you and through Lady Aurora's influence we can get you enrolled in the program easily"

"Oh ok good then"

"Thank you Lord , then Me and Elaine will leave to the adventurer guild now . We will inform the Guildmaster about you getting recruited and being my disciple . We will return evening and then all leave to the Ball at night"

Aurora looking at Thorkell waved her hand signaling him to go .

Thorkell lifted a artifact which then pulled a barrier back , Cain guessed it was a silencing barrier as Thorkell and Elaine left .

Now there were only Cain , Aurora and Rebecca left in the room . Aurora hugging Cain as she was sitting on his lap asked

"Cain , i want to go back to sleep " As she hugged him more tightly , Cain smiled as he caressed her head he spoke as he got up lifting Aurora like a princess with both their faces close together he spoke

"Ok lets go , Oh and Rebecca you can go take rest or do what you want to do "

Cain left with Aurora in his arms as Rebecca spoke

"Well lets put in an application for the funding and report that Thorkell took in a disciple "

---

In the room where Cain was sleeping earlier, he was lying on the bed with Aurora in his arms and spoke

"Aura , How many siblings do you have ? "

"Hmm, I had around 20 , but 3 of them died due to old age before i was born . That was what I was told"

"So your Dad ?"

"Oh , He is Alive and will live for a long time . To let you know he is a Primal Rank and people stop aging after that . You should meet my dad but he is usually busy "

"Huh, why ?"

"Yea , I forgot you didn't know how the working of Primordials families. Well to let you know there are less than 100 Primal Ranks in the whole world and around 2000 years ago My dad who was a King of a nation which was part Aquonia , well when he met my mother . He proposed to her , well with my Mother's nature she almost killed him . After a few years he reached Primal rank and pestered my mother for 50 years or so after that she gave in and married him . And also My dad is one of the strongest Primal Ranks "

"Wait so your dad was a Ultra SIMP and he is more than 2000 years old and only 20 kids in 2000 years "

"What's a simp ? , and its not 'only' 20 Kids . The fertility rate for Primordials is very low the other 2 have only 7 and 6 Children even with multiple partners, and My Mom told me that after spending those 50 years with him she decided that , hmm how to say . she would keep him for all time as she like how my dad was crazy over her"

"Like mother like daughter "

"Now shut up and listen , Actually even if the three Primordials are widely known as Rulers . They have a representative who takes care of the Empire like a King in their stead . In Aquonia it's my dad , In Ardisia it's Sophis's eldest Daughter and in Timberock it's Gaia's 2nd Son"

"So others who were their predecessors died due to old age "

"Yes and ,Ramge and Aetos want to marry me because they will have the rights or power to run for or get the position of their elder brother or sister "

Aurora came curled closer to Cain and was now sleeping on him with her head on his Chest she spoke

"I understand why they are aiming for that , few of my siblings are also like that . But others roam around Variondrix to explore and just live they want and married whoever they want . My brother also did the same , but few want to reign and don't tend to care for them"

Cain caressing Aurora's head spoke

"Are the stronger than me ?Ramge and Aetos"

"Maybe , a year back they both were at Peak level then you could have defeated them with your current strength but now they might be in 1st stage Saint , so they might marry me"

"Aurora , see I've Decided that you're mine now . So I don't care even if you don't like me I will make you . This 5 years you may avoid my force through the contract "

Cain suddenly rolled over with Aurora lying on the bed as Cain was above her slowly bringing his face very close to her face , he could feel their breaths mixing , Aurora started breathing heavily as Cain spoke

"I'll make it so that you will not be able to live without me and others , they will be burnt alive"

Aurora pulled Cain and started to kiss him sensually while her nails dug into his back leaving marks after few minutes of kissing Aurora Rolled Cain over as she sat Cain's third arm while rubbing her area there as she pulled his face and spoke in heavy breaths

"Haa..Cain but in those 5 years you will be completely mine without not being able to think of any other women"

Loud sounds started to come out of the room and most servants started to move away as only one maid remained as she could hear furniture breaking and sensual sounds.

Rebecca came quickly as she heard this noise and standing infront of their room she spoke

"It hasn't even been 2 days and this . And what are these sounds "

Rebecca activated a silence relic around the room and she told the maid to leave and tell all the maids and servants in the mansion to come to the genral hall .

---

It was almost night now Cain in his casual adventurer ware and Aurora wearing a gorgeous came down towards the entrance of the mansion as they looked at Elaine who was doing some sort of magic spell in the servants head . Looking at that Aurora started to blush and started to look down and Cain curiously asked

"Thorkell , what is Elaine doing ?"

Rebecca and Thorkell looked at Cain for a moment and looked down as Thorkell spoke

"Lord Lady Aurora would give a better explanation "

Cain then looked at Aurora who then ran towards his side and pulled his ear down and spoke

"That's the Memory erasure spell , well maybe we were too .... Vocal in the afternoon so i think"

Cain a little embarrassed spoke

"So now we should attend the ball right ? and it's better if you all address me informally" Thorkell answered

"Yes , Cain . We'll going to move now "

---

At the same time in the Aquonia Empire in a Mid sized room which looked like it had hundreds of enchantments on its walls

Inside that were three people , a huge brown skinned muscular man with few scars on his body and long white hair which were tied to the back with a short beard and a Woman with unearthly beauty was resting on his lap with long light blue hair and golden eyes as she played with that man's short beard while the man was caressing her head .

A person who was clothed like an assassin was kneeling in front of them as the Large Muscular man spoke

"What was so important that you had to secretly call us here internal Security Squad Vice Captain speak fast"

Then that assassin passed an orb to them as it projected images of Cain , holding Aurora as when he was after the spar and pictures of the ground where they fought and also thermal images which showed them both going into the same room.

The Huge man broke the orb into pieces as a dreadful aura started to cover the room as the woman resting on his lap spoke

"So was it due to Thorkell that you couldn't collect more information" With difficulty as the assassin was suffocating spoke

"Yes , Lord .. Kuff .. Kuff" he started to cough up blood , noticing this The Huge man spoke

"Aquis why are you so Calm , our daughter is still to young for this and did you look at that bastard how he was carrying my precious daughter"

"Tarquin Shut up , she is old enough to decide for herself . before leaving i told her if she doesn't find a man I'll find one for her . I thought she will come back stronger and say she will find for herself but she did "

"WHAT!!? This can't be , which bastard seduced my daughter . I need to go right now"

"Hmm , yes who is that Bastard . Vice-Captain"

"Lord that is the problem we are unable to pinpoint a proper history for him . The only thing about his past which came up was he came to Wulfric Kingdom few months back and also that he was selected by a expert rank guild master there to refer him to the IAC tournament . Today we got a application for him in the funding program for upcoming warriors as Thorkell's disciple "

"Hmm , so are there any reports of how the land was changed after his and my daughter's fight"

"Yes Ma'am "

The Assassin gave Aquis who was in her suppressed form the reports as she spoke

"you can leave now "

After the assassin left Aquis started to laugh loudly Tarquin was confused and angry at the same time as he spoke

"Aquis why are you laughing this is serious !" Aquis started to Caress his face and spoke

"Hey , pudding according to these reports there is a high chance that bastard is the successor of Artorix . and if he marries my Daughter he will be the best groom we could ask for"

Tarquin took the reports and checked them

"Yes , it's likely true and as far as I know Artorix didn't have interest in women as much as he cared about food , fight and knowledge . And Thorkell who openly opposed us saying he is ready to go against us if its for Aurora's safety could likely destroy the whole city if he felt the situation was dangerous"

"Well , Aurora only has subordinates are loyal to her compared to others who have more but have scumbags with them . Since she hasn't told me I guess she thinks I will harm him , let it be so that we'll keep their information hidden and let a small rumor spread that the Thorkell took in a very talented disciple "

"If he is not worthy of her , I'll not let him live I don't care what Aurora would think about me"

Aquis pulled him closer to her and spoke

"So old yet caring so much about your children like that , but what to do i like that about you"

Tarquin lifting Aquis with his arms like a baby

"Well we'll have work to do lets go "
