{ HIDDEN ACHIEVEMENT: Congratulations to the host for becoming friends with Alice Lithos, one of the final bosses.
REWARD: One wisdom fruit ( It can increase the mental ability of the host greatly ) }
After four hours of continuous journey,
I finally reached the clan area, which was larger than the whole Sun City itself, and took the ship in the way of my courtyard.
When the guards at the entrance saw the Red dragon's shaped head on top of the ship, they didn't dare to stop it.
Since it can only be used by the direct descendants of the clan and immediately opened the door.
The humongous door has a dragon carved on each side of it, which was high enough to touch the sky itself.
As I was moving towards my courtyard, I saw a young girl around 20 years old who had black hair until her waist and red eyes with a beautiful face, waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.
When I reached the courtyard, I saw my maid running towards me smiling brightly, and said
" Welcome back Young Master " in a cheerful tone.
" It's nice to see you again, Clara," I said to her and patted her head.
" Where is my mother now? " I asked.
" Young master, currently madam, is talking with the young master's fiancee at the guest hall," said Clara.
" Okay," I said and started moving towards the guest hall to meet my fiancee for the first time.
After five minutes of walking, I reached the guest hall and when the guards at the door saw me, they immediately opened the door as if they were already intimated about my arrival.
As soon as the door was opened, I was mesmerized by the girl sitting in front of me.
She had long white hair tied in a ponytail and her eyes were emerald color.
When I saw her face, I thought she could be called one of the most beautiful girls in the whole Empire after she becomes an adult.
She had a cold and indifferent look on her face, but I wasn't bothered by it since it is one of the traits of their clan.
When I entered the room, my mother saw me and immediately said
" Come here, Arthur "
I nodded my head and sat beside my mother.
" System do an appraisal on her, " I said in my mind.
{ Okay host }
{ Name: Lucy Snow
Age: 10 years old
Race: Human
Bloodline: Ice Empress bloodline, Heavenly level
( 70% purity )
Cultivation: Not awakened yet
Character: cultivation fanatic and cold
Martial Arts. : Ice Emperor Swordsmanship, Heavenly level ( Intermediate ) ( Progress: 45% towards advanced )
" You young ones can talk among yourselves now," said mother and went away along with the maids.
When the mother was gone, I moved my eyes towards Lucy and was about to say something when she suddenly said
" I am Lucy Snow from the snow clan and also the youngest daughter of the Snow Clan Patriarch " in a cold voice.
" I am Arthur Red Dragon from the Red Dragon Clan and the second son of the Red Dragon Patriarch " in a polite tone.
She slightly nodded her head in response and remained silent without saying anything.
" I was very surprised when I got to know that I have a fiancee, " I said.
" Mmm "
" But when I got to know that it was you, I was relieved since we already met many times when I visited your clan, " I said.
As in the memories of Arthur, he visited the snow clan which is located on the central continent during his childhood.
But in his memories, Lucy never talked to him at that time and only used to practice with swords.
" Mmm "
" If you don't want this engagement, you can say it to me anytime and I will immediately cancel it by talking with my mother," I said.
But suddenly I heard a different response from Lucy which was not within my expectations.
" No, I am very happy to have this engagement," said lucy in a cold tone and this time her face was slightly nervous, which made me puzzled since she would never show her emotions that easily in the story.
" I am just saying it as one of the possibilities since we can't what happens in the future, " I said.
" No, that situation will never come," said Lucy again in a cold and serious tone that didn't want any refusal.
I was slightly confused with her response since she was only interested in becoming stronger and never cared about this engagement with Arthur in the original story.
But I didn't think much about it, since I will not be getting any answers no matter how much I think about it.
And also in this world no matter how much you know, without basic strength to protect yourself, you would always have to depend on others.
After which, I took some refreshments and passed them on to her.
When Lucy saw my gesture, she started eating them without showing any displeasure.
" Which path do you want to take in the future? " I asked, even though I already know the answer.
" I want to concentrate mostly on Body cultivation and become a sword saintess in the future," said Lucy with a twinkle in her eyes, when she said about becoming a sword saintess in the future.
After which she started talking about swords and her aspirations.
In this world, Sword saint or Sword saintess is a title given to those who reached the highest level in the sword martial arts.
There are only three people in the whole world, who reached the highest level in the martial arts of swords and from the human race, there is only one person who reached that level.
That person occupies one of the five zenith thrones which represents the highest authority, and the people who occupy the five thrones are currently the strongest in the human race.
" What about you? " Lucy asked after she talked about swords.
" I want to concentrate on both martial arts and magic," I said and Lucy was slightly surprised since it is very difficult to concentrate on both paths.
Many geniuses in the world who first started like that gave up and started concentrating on only one path to reach higher stages in them.
Only ten people were able to reach the highest stage in both paths throughout the history of all races living in this world and each one of them dominated that era.
Even though she was slightly surprised, she didn't say anything to discourage me and continued eating.
After some time, she stood up and said
" Then I will be going "
" Okay, have a safe journey," I said and after she went back, I moved towards my courtyard.
