《SON OF THE HERO KING》CH 13: THE DUCHESS
Advertisement
A white suite with the hem reaching my butt with buttons made out of gold. A pair of white fingerless gloves with the crest of the royal family and the church on them represented by a vermillion phoenix on the back of the right glove for the royal and a dark snake on the left one. White pants and a white pair of shoes shining clean.
When you added his handsome looks, his golden hair, and his blue eyes, Sol was truly a sight to behold.
"*Sigh* I always feel weird wearing those clothes."
"Your highness, this is necessary. Normally it wouldn't have been a problem to join the supreme daughter in wearing normal clothes. But it seems like Duchess Milaris got wind of your meeting and decided to participate with her cohort."
Milia spoke with a calm tone as she inspected his clothes and made some small adjustments. Sol, hearing this crunched his face in distaste,
"*Ugh* That woman..."
Mirth was evident in Milia as she heard those words, but she didn't continue the discussion. After all, it wouldn't do to insult the leader of one of the four highest noble families aside from the royal one.
"Now this is good. Perfect."
Sol inspected himself in the mirror before nodding as he turned and took Milia in his arms as he gave her a kiss. Milia's eyes widened a little before closing as she seemingly melted in his arms.
The kiss lasted for few seconds before ending, Milia face flushed red while Sol had a confident smile on his face,
"Thanks for everything you do for me."
After saying that, he didn't wait for her answer and began to walk away from the room where he was toward another one.
The room he was going to was rather special. The fact that two silent guards stood in front of it showed how important it was.
Once he reached the door, he smiled at the two stoic women and entered.
The room was sparsely decorated. No, even saying sparsely was too much. It was basically empty. The only form of decoration was a magic circle drawn on the floor and next to it was an old woman wearing a white robe with a crow on her shoulder.
'A nightmare crow.'

It was a special type of beast, with a quality of C. It wasn't particularly strong, but It specialized in space travel AKA teleportation, so it was very useful. As such, anyone able to contract with it had good chances to obtain its power.
The woman wasn't the only one present in the room. Next to her, a young blue-haired and blue-eyed girl stood with a face devoid of any emotions. It was Setsuna.
She was wearing a long, black kimono with an armor plate covering her chest and two arms guards of equally dark colors. It was like he was facing a samurai-like girl.
He gave a smile to her but otherwise did not speak before facing the old woman again,
"Good evening your highness, I hope you had a good day. Forgive me for not giving a full bow, but my back is causing me some problems lately."
The woman gave a short bow with her head dipping slightly as she wore an embarrassed expression.
"Gatekeepers, please do not mind. How could some silly convention be more important than your health? If it wasn't because of how weak I was I could have simply made the travels by myself. Once again my aunt is doing too much."
Yes, the distance between the place where the meeting would happen and the tower was just about three or four kilometers. It was such a short distance that it was incredible how they would use a dimensional portal to reach it.
"Ohohoh~! Your Highness, please do not worry. Her majesty is only doing so for your own good. As the last heir of the royal family, your security is paramount to anything else. Tiring my old bones for your protection is in no way a waste."
Sol gave a smile and left it at that. This old woman was from the same generation as Gerald. Her position as gatekeeper was extremely important. After all, she was responsible for the space protection of the kingdom.
"Now your majesty, step on this magic circle with your bodyguard and I will send you to the coordinates. At the end of the party, you just have to step on the identical magic circles that is present there and ask your bodyguard to fill it with her mana."

Sol nodded before doing as he was instructed.
"Now your majesty, make a good trip."
----
"*Ugh*"
Sol stifled a groan as he looked at the new surrounding. His stomach rumbled as if terribly upset and bile rose to his throat, but he managed to keep it in.
"Your highness are you alright? You should take your medication."
"Thanks."
Taking the pills Setsuna gave him, he swallowed it before finally calming himself.
"*Sigh*. Doing dimensional travel without an ounce of magic is really bad for me."
"Fufufu. At least your Highness didn't barf on her holiness robes this time."
*Chuckle*
A light shade of red formed on Sol as he remembered this embarrassing memory.
The barely hidden laugh from the nuns standing around didn't help.
If sol was asked where he spent most of his time a few years ago, it wouldn't be the tower, but rather the church. The church of Castitas. He had many embarrassing and emotional memories here.
"How uncouth of you to shame his highness in public. Or is this how his highness raised his slave?"
A gentle but scathing voice broke the harmony as a black-haired woman appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Behind her, stood two young boys about Sol's age as well as one girl. They were also accompanied by three bodyguards and one man wearing butler clothes.
'Shadow walk.'
Nightmare crows weren't the sole beast able to allow teleportation.
Dark phantom.
Sol's gaze settled on the raven-haired man standing with a smile close to that woman.
It was a member of the demon race, quite high ranked at that, with a quality of B+.
'Sigh, I had hoped that I wouldn't have to meet them so soon.'
"I am sorry for the display my servant showed. I will be sure to discipline her at a later date."
Sol answered smoothly while ignoring the scowl on the face of the woman who was taking the lead.
The Duchess Caria Milaris of the Milaris family. She was truly a beautiful woman. Even more so in her black evening gown and despite her clear lack of womanly charms. After all, as some sage said, flat was justice.
But she was also as powerful as she was beautiful. Be it as an individual or as a noble. Like a rose-filled with thorns.
Despite never having married, she was still respected and feared because of her prowess.
Despite how sheltered he was, he still had to meet the members of the four great families from time to time. The other three weren't much trouble. Some, even rather pleasant.
But the Milaris family was different. It wouldn't be a mistake to say that they hated him from the bottom of their hearts.
The reason?
Well… Caria Milaris was the original fiancee of his father.
'*Sigh* I feel like today will be quite a. eventful night.'
----
"Your holiness, they have come."
A nun bowed as she conveyed her message with an expression of awe barely contained.
If one was asked who was the most influential or powerful woman in this kingdom, the opinions would vary without a doubt.
But if one was asked, who was the most beautiful. They would receive a unanimous answer.
Camelia Castitas. The Supreme daughter of the Goddess Castitas.
Seven churches existed in this world. Those churches all prayed to their respective twin goddesses.
Camelia, as the daughter, was the highest authority in the church with absolutely no one to contend against her.
As the leader of the church, her power was in no way inferior to the royal family. In fact, you could even say that they were totally equal. This would have been dangerous in most situations but this was in no way one in Lustburg.
The reason?
"Hehe~! My little Sol is finally coming to see me. It has been such a long time. I was beginning to think he had forgotten me. This must be that woman's fault. Lilith was always such a bitch. Always hogging him all to herself. Don't you think so?"
Camelia was what one could call a fangirl.
The nun did not answer the questions posed. On one hand, she was already used to the antics of this mistress of hers. What’s more, she had to admit that Sol was really cute.
He was basically the mascot of the nuns at this level.
Finally, even though there were only the two of them present in this room, she knew that she wasn't the one Camelia was talking with.

Legends of The Wesh: Lochley
The Universe is held together by something. It is an undisputable truth but nobody knows what that something is. People claim that it is connected by The Path of Legends, where Gods traversed trying to find the meaning of their own existence. Others claim that the universe is a Tree, connecting worlds with its extending branches and giving life-bearing fruits to its inhabitants. Several even claimed that the Universe is just a colony of ants, that this universe and the worlds in it are just as insignificant as insects. In one of the Worlds in it, the arrival of someone signaled great changes. Gods will die, Trees will Rot, Insects will burn. Those at the top had fallen and they will upend the worlds trying to claim what was theirs. Those at the bottom have had enough of scraps and they yearned to devour the fruits of the worlds. Those that were innocent and caught in between had no choice but to persist, lest they get erased by the surging tides. Nobody knows where will they end, but everybody knew where they started. They will not be judged, they will not be rebuked, they will not be curbed, they will not be vanquished. The universe is their canvas and it’s time — time to paint their truths upon it. Azrael was born as a prince in the warring world of Ost.

But is he truly free from the past or will it continue to hound him to his new life? Elira had one wish… to be known more than as an offspring of the Great Phasol Family. Talented, hardworking, and stubborn, she struggled to break free from the influence of her family. Everything had been going well in her life but is she strong enough to resist the upheaval and truths of the world? William grew up in an orphanage with nothing to his name. Regaled by various tales of fantasy and greatness by his caretakers, he reached adulthood with the goal of having a legend of his own. Will he make his mark on the world or be forgotten like an ant; crushed by the boot of an unsuspecting traveler. The world of Lochley has been at peace for centuries and its undercurrents are growing restless from waiting… waiting for that spark of opportunity to ignite and swallow the world whole. Some will cause it, some will resist it, and some be drowned by it. Which one will you be?
