Chapter 233: Devil's Hand (Part-1)

[Zeon Continent, Buraford Kingdom]

It was early in the morning and Vali was starting on the training ground holding a wooden stick in his hand and looking at the twins collapsed on the ground.

Seeing this Vali did not have any change in his attitude towards them.

"You two still have a long way to go. That is it for the morning go and take some rest and meditate. Think about the mistakes you have made. We will meet again in the evening after sunset. Remember it's you two who have asked for my guidance so don't be late. I don't like people who are not punctual."saying that Vali left.

Seeing Vali going away. Both sisters looked at each other and finally relaxed. They had never thought that a gentle and polite looking person could be so ruthless during sword training.

Yesterday after the end of the ceremony they had gone to Vali after hearing from Lord Sunya that Vali is a sword Saint level swordsman and asked for his guidance.

Though they have gone through an intense training in their childhood, this is the first time they feel so exhausted.

"Sister, it seems like the level of sword grandmaster is still far away from us. We can't even withstand the sword aura, not to mention the sword intent of brother Vali."said Erina.

" Hmmm,"nodded Lina in agreement.

On the other hand, Vali was walking towards the palace and found that Sunaya was waiting for him at the entrance with a wide smile on his face.

"Congratulations, On getting your aura cultivation back."

"Thank you. But the credit goes to Kai and Ludura who kept it safe for so many years. I never thought that he would be still alive after so many years, nothing unexpected from a person who stubbornly refuses to perish when facing my sword."

" Hahaha, Ludura will cry if he hears you talking about him like that. But are you not happy that a friend from our era is still alive? That Onion head was your most loyal subject and the most stubborn person among the spiritual god's to deal with. He was especially the cause of your headache when you were enemies after you destroyed the Allama Empire which dominated the human race."

"Don't talk about that empire. You are well aware what kind of religious fanatic the empress was towards and how she used to treat non followers of Ludura, that half elves narcissistic women."Vali gritted his teeth upon remembering how helpless and humiliated he felt. She was definitely the woman he hated most in his life.

Seeing the unpleasant expression on Vali's face,Sunaya didn't continue. Sometimes it is better for the past to remain buried.

Vali took a deep breath,"What happened to the task of inviting the emperor of three empires and king Peirce?"

"They still have not responded and are waiting. You must know about the changes brought about by the immortal day. Plant monsters and mortar animals have become magic beasts and appeared throughout the continent as well as sea breasts have become more active in southern and western sea.Most ships are docked on the port due to fear of terror of recent activity of sea breast. Behemoon has also left to clarify the situation of under the sea."

Hearing that Vali took a note in his mind to ask her about it after she returned and looked at Sunaya.

"Do me a favor and help the three empire and Romand kingdom deal with those breasts and monster. We can drag the importance issues which concern the entire continent. We need to come up with a plan to dead with the issue of leadership and resources sharing to strengthen ourselves and resolve the dispute between the empire if they really want to face the world outside zeon continent."

Sunaya nodded as they parted ways to perform their duties and carry on their responsibilities.

[Theothia Kingdom, Royal Palace]

By the time Ava, Antonio returned to the palace it was already evening with Carlos informing about the departure of nobles who were displeased by Antonio's sudden disappearance after inviting them.

Later, they were also called by the king to his chamber to know about the reason behind the sudden disappearance of both of them and got scolded by him for their irresponsible behaviour. 

King Danlit has not been about to have a peaceful mind these days knowing that some unknown force with malicious intentions is roaming around the streets of Capital and they are still not able to find any trace.

After sending both of them away, King Danlit finally relaxed a little and looked towards his wife who was silent the entire time watching from the side lines.

"Do you have to say anything? Elizabeth. It is unusual of you for standing silently and not saying anything in their defence."

The Queen looked Danlit and smiled," Should I say that I was so excited on seeing that Ava has been cured and didn't you notice that Antonio also had become stronger ever since he had returned. I think both are going to have a breakthrough in his cultivation soon.``

Listening to his wife, he could only nod in acceptance.

Most of the people in the Kingdom don't know that his wife cultivation already surpasses him and is at the peak of half stage magic commander and her mental power and strength is even stronger making her more sensitive towards the magic laws.

He was also suprise and understood that both of his children must have met a great fortune instead of mishap.

But seeing how both of them were, I am unwilling to reveal anything. He didn't dig deep into the matter nor did his wife.

Especially when he came to know from Carlos that guards have reported that Dernol had also left the palace with them. This was also the reason he didn't dare to dig into the issue.

The true identity of Dernol is the most closely guarded secret which is only passed down among the kings from generation to generation without any leakage. He also doesn't care to offend him as he is well aware of the power and status he possesses.

Just as Danlit was thinking about Denrol's true identity, his wife said something unexpected.

"Danlit, I have heard from the palace maid that Ava and Antonio were going to meet an unknown man in the morning. According to her Ava had made arrangements for him to stay in servant quarters yesterday. Don't you remember that this morning Ava left in a hurry after Carlos called her. Did Carlos didn't told you anything about him?"

Hearing that Danlit felt suspicious," You are right. Carloy had always been loyal to me and never had he forgot to report to me about the smallest detail and occurrence in the perimeter of the palace.``

Thinking about that, both of them looked at eachother with suspicious expressions on their faces.

"Why don't we call Carlos and ask him." Said Elizabeth.

In response Danlit shaked his head to reject her suggestions.

"I don't know what is the reason that Carlos didn't report to me about it. Maybe Ava had requested him as she didn't want us to keep his identity."

Hearing that his wife remained silent and thought for a moment and replied, "Why don't we just invite them to the palace for dinner? Maybe we can get to know him."

"Hmmm. But do you know where he lives?

"No need for that. I have also heard from palace guards that sometimes minutes ago. Dernol is with the same man with unknown beauty and three people are standing outside the palace gate. Did you not see that both your children were in such a hurry to leave and were absent minded the entire time you were soldering them. Are you really their biological father?"

Getting scolded by his wife. Dalit didn't dare to reply after all he really doesn't have such a deep communication with his children as his wife.
