Chapter 2036 Urgent

Immediately following the duel, Shinta made her way toward the Ouroboros South Palace, the residence of her father, Visla Ouroboros, the Prince Regent. With a confident stride, she passed through the gates and traversed the grand hallways of the palace, every person she encountered offering a respectful bow in acknowledgment of her status.

The crimson-haired female magus who trailed behind voiced her concerns in a hushed tone. "Do you have to see your father right now? Are you sure?" she whispered.

Despite understanding the implications of her question, Shinta remained resolute. "Well, auntie... I've just become Ouroboros's number-one genius. This news is too monumental to? delay."

The female magus let out a resigned sigh as they made their way towards the palace's main hall. Within, a multitude of people had gathered for a ceremonial event.

A guard captain intercepted their path, his demeanor respectful yet firm. "Please, Princess Shinta, the heir ceremony is currently in progress. I must ask you to wait..."

With a serious expression, Shinta said, "I have an urgent message for the Prince Regent! It's a matter of life and death! Clear the way immediately!"

The weight of her words, coupled with her royal status, was enough to command the attention of even the most disciplined guard, who swiftly stepped aside to allow her passage. Dozens of nobles who witnessed her entrance into the hall were taken aback, some turning pale at the realization that the princess's presence could only signal trouble.

The ceremony, intended for the blessing of a newborn male as one of the Prince Regent's heirs, featured a shaman standing at the center, chanting over the baby held in a woman's arms. Undeterred by the solemnity of the occasion, Shiva strode forward until she stood before her father, the Prince Regent, who was seated upon his throne.

"Father, I've come with great news!" she announced, her voice cutting through the hushed murmurs that had arisen in the wake of her disruption.

The Prince Regent's response to Shinta's interruption was marked by a heavy sigh. Meanwhile, the woman cradling the newborn boy contorted with anger and began to voice her protest, "Princess Shinta, this is outrageous! You are interrupting this sacred ceremony."

Shinta's interruption, delivered with a casual tone. "I apologize. I thought you had finished already... My mistake," she remarked nonchalantly, her demeanor betraying little concern for the gravity of the situation.

Despite her words, Shinta wasted no time dismissing the shaman and all other guests with a wave of her hand. "The ceremony is over. I have something important to discuss with my father," she declared firmly, her words leaving no room for argument.

"I am now the chosen candidate for the Magus Academy," she announced proudly, her eyes shining with anticipation.

However, the news failed to elicit the wanted reaction from the Prince Regent, his expression darkening into a frown. "Why did you do that?!" a note of anger coloring his voice.

Undeterred, Shinta responded calmly "You don't agree? It wasn't easy, you know... I fought hard to achieve this,"

The Prince Regent's anxiety only seemed to intensify at her response, and he turned to the female magus standing behind Shinta, his voice fraught with emotion.

"Annara... Tell me exactly what happened,"

Annara, the female magus entrusted with Shinta's care, stepped forward and recounted the events of the duel in meticulous detail. With a brief glance at Shinta, she hesitated momentarily before finally revealing that Shinta had resorted to using a forbidden transformation to secure her victory.

The revelation struck Prince Visla like a bolt of lightning, igniting a fiery rage within him.

Despite her father's uncharacteristic outburst, Shinta remained steadfast in her resolve. "Why, Father? Can I not join the academy? This is an opportunity for me to explore the world beyond Ouroboros,"

"No. You are not allowed to leave. You must decline your placement immediately," Prince Visla retorted sternly, his tone brooking no argument.

"You are not making any sense, Father," Shinta countered, her irritation mounting as the heated exchange continued to escalate.

"No is a No! You will listen to me!"

Shinta was shaking as she said "Alright! I will listen to you.... only if you tell me the truth... Tell me, Who is my mother?"
