《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 57: The King's Quest
Advertisement
"I suppose that covers my entire report," Caliber says as he ponders for any information he has not spoken up about.
"Great! Then it is my turn." King Suko would say as he starts to walk over to pull his chair from the table and pushes it against the wall.
"Your turn, your majesty?" Both Caliber and the nobles looked over to him and asked.
"Yes, I have some news to discuss." He would say, taking a seat and sitting upon it as if it was his throne. Yasuline's mother would imitate his actions to sit next to her. When Yasuline starts to do the same, her father would extend his hand out to halt her.
"Princess Yasuline, would you stand before me?" He would say in his serious tone. It sent chills down her spine. Now that they were looking at one another as she approached him, she could see that his eyes were a bit narrow than before. His joyful demeanor was gone and he looked like a true king, one with wisdom and confidence behind his eyes.
Both Caliber and the nobles have stood from their seats and stood on the other end of the wall. Even quietly moving the table out of the wall to make as much space for them all as possible.
Yasuline nervously stood in between her parents. She lightly grips the ends of her white dress. Her father continued with that kingly tone and appearance, despite this. "Princess Yasuline." He says.
"Umm, yes, dad, oh I mean, your majesty." She says, unsure really how to refer to him like this. She had never had to face him in this way, but she usually sees everyone show him great respect when he does it to them.
"You have done this kingdom a great service. Not only have you saved the ruler from certain death, But you fought against the dreaded White Reaper and lived to tell the tale to us all."

"Well, not really, but thank you."
He nods and continues. "That is why I must rely on your skills yet again. With someone as capable as you in it, I will be able to breathe easier in the night."
"Oh, what do you want me to do?" She asks.
"I need you to go on a quest for me."
Her eyes widen. "What did you say?" She wasn't the only one. Nearly everyone but the King and Queen were completely shocked.
"Did I mumble? I said I need you to go on a quest for me." He repeats.
"B-but, a quest, requires me to go out of the city no? Or are you just messing with me and it;'s something inside the castle only?"
"It is no joke. I need you to go out to Finnoe and deliver a message to Victor for me," He would explain to her.
"All the way to Finnoe!?" Caliber would blurt out. Clearly, he was not briefed on this decision. This shocks Yasuline even more, as most of the time, her parents would rely on him giving his opinions on what to do. And they always do it when discussing about what to do with Yasuline. Not this time, it seems.
"Yes, all the way there."
"But Finnoe is filled with shadowbeasts and demi-humans. It's the most dangerous land in all of Atlas."
"Not if she takes a boat from South Seatown. Besides, she won't be going alone."
With perfect timing, knocking on the door happened. Caliber hesitated as he looks back at the king and then at the door. One of the guards who were standing outside this entire time would open the door for them and in arrives two strange individuals.
One of them was quite a tall man, with glossy black hair that lightly poked in various directions, but looked to be combed to the back mostly. He had bright red eyes that invite anyone to look, and a devilish smile that just teases you for something naughty. Most of his attire was black and looked to be made of leather. But it looked more like for the style rather than armor. On his back was a wide sword that Yasuline recognizes as a claymore. The handle and guard of the weapon were bleached bone-white. Resembled way too much of real bones to be considered a coincidence.

The other person next to them was very young, looked to be a child no doubt. His big blue eyes told you he was innocent of anything you suspect him of. His hair looked to be extremely healthy and clean as it droops about the top of his head in the shape of a bowl, with the exception to a few long strands of hair that were made into a tiny ponytail. The rest of his body was hiding behind a cloak of solid blue. With the few stains of something near just under his chin. Behind him rattled a strange staff that Yasuline had never seen before in her life. And she had seen most magick-users from spellcasters, magicians, to sorcerers before.
The two stand next to Yasuline in front of the King and Queen and bow before them both. Only the tall dark one spoke up, the other just giggled childishly as he nibbles upon some candy he was holding in his small hands.
"King Suko and Queen Noria. A Pleasure to meet you both." He would say in a deep voice.
"Ah, it is good to finally meet you. I heard good things about you and your partner there."
"Ah, brother. Just want to clarify. I'm perfectly available for any woman that wishes to know me more." He would say and lightly waves his hand as if there were some woman standing near him that he was gesturing to.
"Right, well, then as we discussed before, I will be using the power of my crown to request to you a quest."
'He is going on a quest too? Is he an adventurer? I feel like I have seen him, but he wasn't at the eating place me and the White Reaper went to.'
"No problem, Adventure King. Anything you ask, I am happy to oblige. As long as you pay, we are good to go."
"Wait, what did he call you?" Yasuline asks immediately after he finishes talking.
"Oh, Adventure King? It is one of my nicknames for when I was adventuring. Most people know me by that name." He would explain it to her. His serious facade faded back to his cheerful one, but then it quickly returned as he gets back to the matter at hand.
Yasuline would stop paying attention to the conversation as she reflects such a revelation. 'Oh, that makes so much sense! No wonder I didn't know about the Adventure King. Wish he had told me that before, UGH, how embarrassing to not even know that. I better ask him more about things. Oh, wait. I'm leaving soon.'
"Yasuline?"
Hearing her name snaps her out of her thoughts and she straightens up her posture. "Yes!"
"You will be leaving immediately if possible, the sooner it can be done, the better. But you are also a novice, so don't rush." Her father informs her. Yasuline would nod with each word, taking in everything into heart.
"Now then, you should go to your room and prepare everything you need. We'll say our farewells soon." He would say with a nod. As he rose from his seat, the others bowed their head and the meeting was finally over.

Sylph Resurgence
Our protagonist Kai has his mother taken away from him at a young age, an act apparently committed by demons. Now, 7 years on, Kai embarks on a new adventure as he begins the new school year at the esteemed Zion Academy in the kingdom of Nirvania, where adventures await him in a world embroiled in tensions which is full of surprises and mysteries at the same time. A month has passed since Night Wing's incursion on the capital of Nirvania, Nirvana. However, that isn't the end of Nirvania's problems, with war against its warmongering neighbour, Miran looking ever more likely than before. To make matters worse, tensions have been stoked between the Sylph Kingdom and Nirvania by the Chaos Legion, the true enemies hiding in the darkness, opening the possibility to a war on 2 fronts. Kai may only be a 2nd Year student at Zion Academy, but the raging storms of this chaotic era spare no one, especially given his close ties to Adeline, the Sylph Princess. Can Kai circumvent the tides of chaos and live to see the end of what is likely to be a 3rd Holy War? Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War. Moreover, relations between all 4 Kingdoms on the Central Continent, namely Nirvania, Miran, Cameron and the Sylph Kingdom, have reached unprecedented heights, ushering an age of peace. However, danger lies ever closer, with the Chaos Legion staying low over the past 2 years, awaiting the perfect opportunity to rear its ugly head. Even though Kai had trained hard over the past 2 years to master both his demonic and Sylph ancestry, when the battle has evolved from between mortals to that of the seemingly immortal Chaos Generals, can Kai and his fellow Nirvanians rise above the odds with their allies and vanquish the chaos?
