“Did you manage to finish them this time?”

A cloaked man asked another cloaked man who just arrived, they were both outside a huge golden tent .

“We couldn’t even get close to them, someone is protecting them from the shadows “

“Were they skilled ? “

“From Terra household, the countess probably handpicked them .

Their stealth was comparable to ours “

The cloaked man’s face showed anger, he knew that prince Achilles would be furious at them for failing. Why did they agree to take this contract in the first place?

He should have guessed that killing Rhaegar wouldn’t be an easy task.

“Why are you to losers whispering outside my tent? You think I don’t have the ability to listen past your sound barrier?”

A white thunder came out of the tent and took the form of prince Achilles, his element materialisation was as quick as the rumours had it .

“Let me Guess, that countess hag is protecting him? “

The cloaked men nodded .

“One would think that assassins from the House of Loki would never fail at assassinations, your reputation isn’t on merit then “

“Don’t worry your highness, next time we wont fail “

*Slap*

He didn’t even realise Achilles slapped him until he found himself on the ground, he raised his head just to see the prince’s palm holding a little thunder elemental that continuously circulated around his hand.

“Did you manage to find out where they’re headed at least ? “

He got up and nodded.

“3 abyssal Canyons “

“Now that’s interesting, what’s that brat doing there ? “

“Should we sent men after him your highness? “

“Forget it, I have already sent word to Blood Axe Gary .

His mother in law wont protect baby Rhaegar forever”

________

While this conversation was taking place, Rhaegar and his companions had set up camp just 2 hours away from the canyons.

“Did you finish eating yet ? “

He asked Maryanne without looking at her direction, his focus was still on the blue ring on his palm .

“Rachele and the Vishna Sisters haven’t finished yet , you know that demi humans have huge appetites right “

She got up and sat near him .

“Do you plan on putting that ring on or will you just look at it forever? “

“The book says that I can’t handle it’s power until I have awakened my spirit, so Ill wait till I’m 18 before equipping it “

Anne wanted to ask more about it but Richard and the others stood up and said they were ready to move .

Rachel kneeled before Rhaegar’s horse with the other two kneeling before Maryanne’s mount and Richard’s .

“Umm, lord? What are they doing? “

“No need to get all weird about Old Man, probably some demi human ritual “

Maryanne replied .

“I think they were forced to do that by That bastard Achilles, he probably stepped on them every time he got on his horse”

‘ Tu hil serbator jo , tu as sok jo ‘

[ You aren’t our servant, you are our companion]

Rachel raised her head and gave Rhaegar a look full of curiosity before telling the Vishna sisters to stand up and get on their own horses.

“I wish I could lay my hands on that bastard prince, oh the things I would do to him “

“Chill out Maryanne, you sound like you want to sleep with him “

“I’d rather sleep with old man Richard than sleep with a bastard prince who gives everyone inhuman treatment “

Richard almost had a stroke, could it be that he wasn’t so hopeless?

Maryanne would choose him before a prince?

If Rhaegar could hear Richard’s thoughts right now, he would beat the shit out of him for being so deluded .

It only took 1 hour for them to arrive at the canyons since they didn’t meet any bandits or similar troubles on their way .

The view in front of them was as bizarre as they had heard, when the Red Arcana used his sword slash to cut 3 mountains, their peaks crushed the ground and created this abyss . Just by looking at what was in front of him Rhaegar started to admire his ancestor even more .

How strong could he have been to cut mountains with a single slash?

He dreamed of one day reaching such strength, this way his name would live on forever just like his ancestor’s .

“ As you all know down there might be clues or left over relics from the famous battle between my ancestor and the elven queen.

Adventurers have explored the entrance before and have found many valuable things but still the monsters in there are formidable and dangerous, you might face your demise .

You are kind of my servants so I can even order you to be my meat shields if I want but that would make me just another prince Achilles so Im giving you the chance beforehand.

Do you want to come or no ? “

Maryanne was the first to agree, and she did it proudly.

“You think little of us lord, we would never abandon you on your quest and adventures “

Richard was fearfully looking at the abyss below but once he heard that Maryanne was going he agreed .

‘ Mut Som Shiv Sene Dso ‘

[ If you don’t want to come you are free to leave, it’s dangerous down there ]

Rachele removed her leather armour and showed her muscled body full of scars, she carried her scars and muscles like trophies.

‘Nu sok Po ‘

[ I am your companion ]

Her response made Rhaegar smile, while it was necessary to have companions it was more necessary to have their loyalty.

He wanted them to willingly fight for him not to pray that he dies so they can be free.

Obviously he couldn’t have won Rachel’s loyalty already, it was just the kindness he had shown her that made her tag along.

That made her follow him even in this abyss!

For someone who was stolen away from her people when she was only a baby , being treated like an actual person was a luxury.

The reason why she was going to risk her life for him was just the fact that he treated her humanely.

Rhaegar took out his sword and the others followed.

“Find a place to tie our horses, we’re jumping “
