Sea Palace, Cesoria Kingdom
A middle-aged man walked down the corridor stopped in front of a large door then knocked gently hearing the knock a voice sounded come in, inside the room was a man with an air of a master sitting at his desk immerse in his work.
seeing this the middle-aged man said "sect master, elder Alice has broken her Jade token thus informing us that she found a disciple with high potential talent"
"Really? Who would have thought that we'll find such a talent in the Alba Kingdom, That's a relief," replied the man at the desk, he the current Sect master of the Sea Palace, Nicholas. then he ordered "Send some elders to guide him towards the palace, we can not let anything happen to him at any cost"
"I understand master, I've already made arrangements for him to be picked up by the inner elders to be escorted to the sect. and also, sect master I have heard some rumors about the Supreme elders of other sects having received direct disciples is it true?" asked the elder
Hearing that question, Nicholas stopped what he's doing, walked towards the shelf where the liquors were stored and poured himself a glass of wine, "It's true, the supreme elders have accepted direct disciples, each one of these disciples are talents that have the ability to overcome the cultivation realm of supreme elders and reach the Elemental realm, with it we can stop being a desolate land," When he said those words you could hear his determination in his voice.
when the elder heard those words he was very excited just thinking about it, When a desolate land becomes a mortal country of 5th grade, It would gain several rights that it did not have before, As for example within the Kingdom branches of several important guilds such as blacksmith, array and alchemy guild will be established as well as having the right to participate in activities organized by mortal countries of 3rd grade With that, local powers can develop further and consolidate their standing in the kingdom.
Currently, there are countless Kingdoms and Empires within the southern region, but only a few are categorized as a Mortal country. You could say that all southern region is categorized as desolate land! Powers like them are very common in the Mortal countries but due to the distances between them, they had almost no interaction between them, the closest powers were the Six Sects that ordinary people knew, but they have never seen the immensity of the continent, so they have not seen how many powers exist in the South Region!
Seeing the happiness of the elder, Nicholas said: "Solomon, They only have the possibility, nothing is certain in this life, Now reports the good news to the Supreme elder"
"Yes" With that, Solomon turned around and left.
Normally an inner elder would take more than a month to get from the Cesoria Kingdom to the Alba Kingdom but since this was an important situation, the elders used two Blood Eagles demonic beasts which were half a step away from the Elemental Realm. normally the sect master, the supreme elders, and the great elders were the only ones qualified to use them but this time there was an exception. With this, the elders could arrive in Alba kingdom in just three days.
In the Alba Kingdom, after the Second Prince's concluded his test, the other representatives showed their envy for the Sea palace but did not dare to do anything else. They knew that if they did something they would be persecuted by the Sea Palace and their sects would abandon them to avoid a War, and they would gain nothing and lose everything, They were not fools who sacrifice themselves for their sects, So they congratulated Alice for finding a great disciple for her sect and then they continued with their recruitment.
Although they did not manage to recruit a talent such as the second prince, their harvest was still good, They gave a day to all the recruits to say their goodbyes to their families in the kingdom and left the next day when the sun was at its highest. Joseph said goodbye to his sister and left for the James Clan along with his recruits.
The only person who stayed in the Alba Kingdom was Alice the Elder of the Sea Palace, When she explained the situation to the King and the third concubine they were very euphoric, Even the king forgot a little about the queen, The whole royal family was celebrating the entrance of the second prince to the Sea Palace and not only that but there was the possibility that he would be accepted as a direct disciple under the tutelage of the Supreme elder of sect!
All were present at the banquet, many nobles had come to congratulate the couple, Except for the ninth concubine, Apparently the third gave orders not to invite her and the king gave a silent approval by not saying anything about that order, Some people were disgusted with such treatment but did not say anything, instead they did not attend the banquet as was Frey and Alexander's grandparents, among the male grandchildren their favorite was Alexander, He was different from the other two who always looked at the others people as inferior beings, they even treated their fellow siblings as such, as for Alexander he's quite obedient and treated his sisters well. So they had a good impression of this grandchild, and when he was treated less by his son, They got angry.
But the king was too euphoric about it so he did not give any importance to the actions of his father and Frey, Anna for her part did not care because she knew of the hidden talent her son held, even if the second prince was a disciple of a supreme elder , she was confident that her child will be able to overcome it in the future. and when he does, that trash king will regret treating his son as such.
Two days later the envoys of the Sea Palace arrived to accompany the second prince, After congratulating the king and the third concubine, They requested to stay for a day so that the Eagles could rest, The king happily granted their request and the next day the second prince said goodbye to his parents while riding the Eagle with the envoys, by his side Alice and the other recruits returned by land to the palace, But as she was the one who had recruited the second prince, When she returned she will be duly rewarded. thinking that she along with the group of new disciples accelerated there pace.
What nobody noticed was that not too far away from them by the window of the residence of the ninth concubine a baby was watching the eagles that left with a smile on his face, It was as if he saw a new toy which he always wanted, For him this was very funny, he could not avoid murmuring: "This is interesting, I wonder if the future will be even more interesting"
After that, a female voice was heard inside the room: "Alexander, where are you?" Hearing that the baby involuntarily quivered and returned inside the room.
