The Ancients World Chapter 14

I finish walking down the stairs and I come to the decision that I wont investigate the main chamber. I am still in the east wing and there is one other place I want to explore. The map that man gave me says Elenore's room is in the west wing. This could provide more lore about the events that occurred here. I go the same way back and instead of going out the exit I continue west.
I make it to an identical staircase and I climb to the 4th floor like the map indicates. Once I make it there I run into 2 Sentinel Guards. They are the exact same ones that I fought on the other side of this massive structure. I'll be fighting 2 powerful enemies at once and I just received the power boost not to long ago. I'll play it safe and activate protected by heaven and heavens light to deal with these 2 quickly. I start hitting the closest one with slash combos.

[Sentinel Guard Lvl.15 Elite]

I cripple its health fast and hit it for 46,593.75. I don't see how the guard will last any longer and I hit him with another slash combo to finish off this first one. They are trying to do damage to me, but my immunity is literally bouncing their swords off me.
-15,531.25
-15,531.25
+2,000 exp
+500 slash mastery
+150 protected by heaven mastery
+150 heavens light mastery
His health hits zero and I still have one more left to deal with. The next one I kill will drop enough exp for me to level up. I wouldn't doubt that the best players and strongest guilds are on my tail in terms of levels right now. They don't have this place and this quests however. By the time I am done with turning the sub-quest in I'll be hitting double digits in levels.

I hit him with my last slash from the one I had left from the other guard and then hit him with a new combo after the cooldown lifted. These guards are more like machines, puppets programed to do their duty till they can no longer move. He only has 7,875 health left so I hit him with one regular non-skill attack. Just my normal attack is enough to finish him off. I only need to hit him once with heavens light activated.

The hallway is clear and my skills deactivate now that I am out of combat. Elenore's room is located in the very last last room on the left. I take the time to look at my new stats while walking down the hall.

Everything is looking much better than it was earlier and I am sure that I am strong enough to kill a level 10 dungeon boss. I don't know how strong the creature in the main chambers is, but I am positive that is where the dungeon is at.
After walking for a minute at most I reach Elenore's room. I push open the door and I look into the room as if its worth millions. There are extravagant paintings of what I assume is the family and Elenore. Looking at her portrait she is extremely beautiful, what a horrible fate to endure. I see a bookshelf with books about alchemy and spells. Nothing out of the ordinary till I actually see a magical skill book. It is decent if I was a magic class, but I'm not. No point in wasting money, this could sell for some gold
I pick it up and put it in my bag. I wonder if Elenore had a diary as well, I don't want to go through her things like I did with Melina. I do want to see if I can fill in the gaps that Melina left and see what happened through her perspective. I search her desk and I find a book that looks like a diary, I open it and its her diary. I do the same thing I did with Melina's diary with this diary and I flip to the last pages.

"Father has arranged a marriage with the king of Bellvia. I am to wed his son and the war between us will end. The dryads have suffered through so much, if I can stop this war by marrying someone I don't know or love then that is fine. I hope the peace talks are going well today, father has been on edge since mother passed while fighting in this brutal war."
Elenore was going to marry the prince of Bellvia, if I'm not mistaken that is a kingdom outside of the starter zone to the far north. The lore of the city is that it has always had peace since the beginning of its creation. Obviously that is lie based off these diaries, I remember Bellvia focuses on magic more than anything else. I turn my head to the next page and start reading.
"The prince has arrived today and he seems nice from the few words I have shared with him. He and father talk a lot. Sometime uncle Roderick speaks to Prince Blake alone without anyone around. I only found this out by stumbling on them in the library once."
Now that is very suspicious. Why would the kings brother be talking to an enemy in private. This is looking more insidious than I could have thought. I turn the page and these are the last 2 entries.
"Prince Blake and I spent time in the garden together. He suggested that we spend time to get to know each other before we get married. He was telling me about Bellvia and the war. As a prince he was in charge of leader some of the armies troops. He was telling me about the battles he has won and lost in our war against each other. It makes my heart ache knowing that innocent people are being slaughtered."
This entire thing was a ploy by the looks of it. I see why this entire plan worked and I can see all the blame going to this Roderick and king of Bellvia. I focus my eye's on the last page and read her final entry.
"Prince Blake and I shared a kiss today. It is a shame that he has to head back to Bellvia and finalize the peace treaty with his father. I have grown to like him in a way. I really hope that this works out for both of our people. I cant see why there shouldn't be peace. I have been extra tired today and I feel like taking a nap. I'll go speak to father after I wake."
A kiss was shared between the two of them before she fell asleep from the curse. Must be some sort of ancient magic lost to time because I never heard or seen of such a thing. This occurred a very long time ago. Maybe 70 or so years after the first war, this was the time kingdoms were growing and expanding. The dryads where killed off in this race by Belliva. I receive a new notification that has a quest attached to it.
[Quest: The false one]
[Description: Find out the rest of the secret in Bellvia. The kingdom of the dryads was killed using a powerful curse. The church of light didn't participate in war back then, but they made sure certain things didn't happen by making them war crimes. Cursing a kingdom and its people is a severe war crime and must be revealed to the rest of the world.]
[Hint: There is a possibility to undo the curse, no matter how powerful a curse is. It can always be broken or undone.]
[Objective 1: Find out any information you can about Bellvia's past]
[Objective 2: Reveal the true history of what occurred here and why the church of light at the time turned a blind eye]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Rewards: hidden]
[Do you wish to accept this quest? Y/N]
What incredible lore and history, never in my 5 years of playing did I have an opportunity for such an adventure. With the hint I received I can deduce that I may be able to do what I did with the fairy kingdom here. This will prove much more difficult that any task I have ever taken before and I cant help smiling at the challenge. I think yes and I have a new quest added to my interface, I will take some time after I get to level 50 to investigate. At my current power I doubt I could do anything significant. Bellvia is a capital city and I won't have access to it once I become level 10.
