As Raion prepared to leave again, the others had no reason to stay. Once they left, Raimon could ignore the twins and spend his days quietly at Castle Blood from here on out.
Spend his days quietly gaining strength without anyone noticing.
"Cheers!"
"All hail!"
The knights raised their swords to the sky as Raion came out of the gates. Raimon and the twins stood beside them and bowed their heads as well.
"The next time I see father it will be at the main house instead of the Blood Castle."
Raion returned to the direction of the Wailing Forest.
Everyone who expected Raion to lead them into a bloody battle against the enemy family hid their disappointment deep in their hearts. The Flower knights each returned to their original whereabouts, followed by their guardian knights.
Raion did not return to Castle Blood until Raimon turned 11 and left. However, the guardian knight named Sebastian departed from time to time to the Forest of Sorrows to inform the Duke of Raimon's recent actions.
There is an interesting story about the Forest of Sorrows, it is said that the eighth Duke of the family was leading a solo expedition as the current Duke to overcome the limits and enter the rank of Semi-God, but was betrayed by his most trusted knight who leaked the information causing him to be ambushed. Although at the end of the fight the Duke survived, he completely lost the opportunity to enter the highest recorded rank in the Solar Empire.
The ranks of power in this world are divided by stars from one to ten, then follow the rank of knight, fighter, or mage of sacred nature to finish at the rank of Semi-God.
Rank currently achieved only by my grandfather and Emperor Amadeus current leader of the Empire.
"The older knight Ocean is not in her right mind. I'm still only six years old... Hahaha. And to think she gave me such an amazing gift."
Raimon in his mind as he opened the gift in his room. Reineza's eyes also widened as she checked the object that the knight Ocean had left behind.
Before his eyes were the heart of a mythical beast in his previous world. Ocean had personally killed the beast in the southern region of the continent during a subjugation mission.
A Blue Dragon Heart.
A rare and precious gift that Raimon would never have expected to receive from the guardian knights.
Ocean wished for his well-being and wanted his older brother to grow strong and healthy.
Raimon could now decipher the heart and consume it.

Flower's third knight, Ocean Blue.
She is currently 21 years old and is known around the world as the "Ocean of the Red Sea".
In the thousand-year history of the Flower family, no member of the family has stopped being a one-star fighter or swordsman before the age of 14. By 16, most were 3-star fighters or swordsmen, and the average was 5-star before age 20.
Ocean's case was quite the opposite.
She exceeded the family norm. While a normal knight or fighter in the Empire became a 1-star knight at 25, she achieved the same feat at 12 and was already a 5-star knight at 16.
In addition, she was currently a 6-star knight.
Despite not yet turning 30, she had reached a stage that most people in the world could only dream of reaching.
By surpassing the Flower standard, the word "genius" that was applied to everyone could no longer do justice to her and her accomplishments.
Regardless of her talent, Ocean was one of the few people who had shown goodwill and compassion towards Raimon in this life.
She may have a screw or two loose in her head, but she gave me an incredible gift.
"He was starting to get frustrated with my slow growth rate."

It has been a month since Raion left Castle Blood.
During that time, the smell of the Blue Dragon Heart that was escaping from the kitchen was all over the castle. In addition, several corridors and rooms near the kitchen were freezing due to the special coldness given off by the Blue Dragon Heart.
Despite all this havoc, Ocean had returned to the southern region as if the heart was insignificant to her.
Normally, a Blue Dragon Heart was... an elixir-like rarity that even kings and queens of powerful countries could not often eat.
The flesh was more tender and soft than veal, it had a richer fragrance than truffles, and its effects were far more potent than herbal tonics.
"Young Master, in a couple of hours, you will finally be able to eat the heart. Good job waiting patiently so far."
Raimon nodded excitedly as his eyes sparkled.
Ocean's gift had taken a month to be fully cooked. Reineza had not been able to sleep well for that entire month because she was busy simmering the Blue Dragon Heart for her young master.
Nevertheless, she was ecstatic.
Raimon's happiness was her happiness. A nanny in this family was responsible for a child's growth, and her future depended largely on how strong and reliable the child was.
"You may not know this, Young Master, but the Blue Dragon Heart is an elixir that is especially effective on children. You can increase your tolerance against the cold only if you consume it at a young age. Lady Ocean has given you a truly priceless gift."
"Really?"
Raimon had far more knowledge about the heart than Reineza, but he pretended to be interested in her explanation.
He had studied about the Blue Dragon Heart incessantly these days while training his solar flame.
"However, I didn't research about it because I wanted to eat another one, but because I wanted to learn the location of similar animals on the continent."
Fighting this type of fly was every warrior's dream. In Raimon's former world these creatures could only be legends or children's stories.
