Ch. 6 'The Prophecy'

"Body temperature like this, if an ordinary human, he will die. If he is an Elementalist, he will not be able to withstand the heat and become weak. But you, aside from your body heat, you look very healthy."

Scarlet could see her father's eyes began to glaze. Just before the tears came out of his father's eyes, she was hugged tightly by his father.

"Father?"

"If I know this will still happen, we should spend time together. I should have brought you along to go out to the outside world. We will explore the most interesting place with your mother or have a picnic together and do other things like a normal family. What a waste we did."

"What do you mean? I don't understand at all."

"Baby girl, you... You are now a red knight, is that right?"

Scarlet's body stiffened in his father's arms.

"How?" how did her father know?

***

Right now, Scarlet and her father were in his father's office. After making sure no one was eavesdropping on them, the Lord began to explain.

It turned out that before she was born, even way before Lord Fiery found out that his wife was pregnant, a colorless knight - Knight of the Oracle came to him.

The knight informed him that his wife would have a daughter who would become the red knight - Knight of Flames.

"How did he know? I thought the colorless knight was the knight of the Wisdom? How could he know what hasn't happened yet?" Scarlet asked.

"He was the knight of the Oracle. Have you forgotten history? Only the colorless knights' mastery changed in each generation. The first was a knight of the Wisdom, and the second was a shapeshifter. Nothing was the same. And the last one was the ability to see the future."

"Then what is the mastery of current colorless knight?" she got curious at the mastery of current colorless knight.

"No one knows. But that is not important now. What's important is that the knight of the Oracle foresaw what would happen in the future. Scarlet, listen carefully. In the current generation of knights, there will be trouble. One of the knights will turn evil because his heart blackened. Therefore the other knights must conquer him. The colorless knight did not tell me who would change.

Unfortunately, when he was about to find out more, his legacy weapon was gone. He automatically could not read the future anymore. But he wrote everything he remembers in this book. He said to give it to you when you become the knight. You will find out the details when you finish reading it."

Scarlet accepted it. "But I don't understand. Why did you lock me up in the house and even set me up with someone?"

"We don't want the red weaponry to find you. It never chose people who are married as an Elementalist knight. But a girl can only get married at the age of fifteen. That's why once you reach the age, I want to marry you off to someone as soon as possible. Even though we ruined your happiness, but we though love can be nurtured in time. Furthermore, you don't need to be involved in the war between knights."

So that was the reason. The Lord and her mother desperately wanted to find a way so she wouldn't become a knight. All this time, her parents loved her in their own way.

"Also, I hope it's not you who will change. I hope my daughter is still my beautiful, sweet, and smart baby girl."

"Father," Scarlet approached her father and hugged him. "Thank you, father. Thank you for explaining everything to me."

The Lord's body trembled, hearing the soft voice of his daughter. He never thought his daughter would accept his explanation. He was ready if Scarlet would hate him.

But instead, the girl thanked him and listened to him.

What a bless to have this kind of daughter.
