[!] Reminder: One month has passed since Edward left the Falkrona Mansion.
==============================================================
[Dungeon] or Monsters' den.
It was something that had been present in the Celesta kingdom since centuries ago. These are all strange caves with several floors.
More than hundreds were scattered everywhere in the Celesta Kingdom but among them five dungeons were standing out from the rest. They were called the [ENIGMA DUNGEON].
They were mystical, dangerous, big and more importantly, they were packed with treasures of ancient times. Each day, thousands of thousands of people were going in these dungeons to make money or train.
The management of the dungeons was left to the [Eden Council]. A small council composed of powerful people. They were independent of Celesta Royalty but still respected their King.
[ENIGMA DUNGEON]
They were only five in the entire Celesta Kingdom.
Four were on each of the most powerful Dukedom, Falkrona Dukedom, Roger Dukedom, Tarmias Dukedom and Scarlett Dukedom.
The last one, the most popular and dangerous one was in the Royal Capital of Eden, [DORIAN].
Since the dungeons were literally goldmines, the [Eden Council] of centuries ago decided to make business with it.
The [Eden Guilds].
Quests were offered with huge rewards either from the [Eden council] or even from nobles themselves. Some nobles were ready to pay astronomical amounts of money to get weapons or artifacts from these dungeons.
The [DELVERS] were of course very happy to oblige at their demand and get their reward. Becoming a delver wasn't really hard. You just had to register in an Eden Guild of the town you were in.
Fortunately or not they were not anything like ranks so you had to be independent and careful in the dungeon. Many people died because they overestimated themselves by traveling to lower floors but the staff of the Eden Guild didn't care about that as they weren't responsible for other's people lives. They were just here to make money and do their work properly.
In the Falkrona capital city were two famous places.
The Falkrona giant Mansion which was towering above a little hill.
And the Enigma Falkrona Dungeon, a kilometer away.
Right next to the Enigma Dungeon was the Eden Guild affiliated to this dungeon. As always it was a boisterous place. People were laughing, fighting, and drinking but things were rarely going overboard.
Overboard, it meant killing.
Yes. As long, as they weren't destroying the guild or killing people, they could fight until night…
In case they were going overboard, the mighty knights of the Falkrona duchy would intervene to stop them. With their dark grey armor and hawk-like helmet, they were the most famous knights in the Celesta Kingdom. Their presence alone was intimidating.
The sun was blazing on the sky and covered the entire city
In such a hot weather, the sound of an engine rang. It could be mistaken to the mana trains driving in the sky above them on invisible rails but no. The sound was coming from the ground so it was without doubts a ground vehicle.
A car, a beautiful green mana car arrived before the Eden Guild. The people coming out of the guild or going to the guild, all stopped and looked at the car in awe. There was no doubt that it was an expensive car so it must be a high-ranking noble inside it.
The driver wearing a suit came out and opened one of the numerous doors of the limousine. A white-heeled foot stomped gently the ground and a girl's figure followed right after.
All the men froze instantly with their mouths agape, some already started drooling.
As for the women, some were jealous, others admirative.
A dark-green haired stunning girl came out of the luxurious car. She was wearing a knee-length green skirt and a white top.
Ignoring the numerous stares, the girl slid her sunglasses on her eyes to the top of her head, revealing her unique tangerine eyes. Her eyes creased a little because of the burning sun but she somehow adjusted to it.
Following her, from the car came out two men and another girl. They weren't as eye-catching as the world-toppling beauty but they were all handsome and beautiful. They also had the same fashion that screamed their background as nobles.
Few men in black suits followed after them forming a circle around the group of four teenagers.
Like that, they all walked to the Eden Guild. The crowd made the way for them while enjoying the eye-feast before them.
One of the bodyguards opened the door of the guild for their clients. The noisy entrance hall fell immediately silent at the entrance of the newcomers but it didn't last long.
"H-Hey, Isn't she kinda super hot?!"
"Super hot?! She's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen since my birth!"
"D-Do you think she has a boyfriend?"
"Give up and die"
"What the heck?!"
"Come on man, do you know who she is?"
"A high-ranking noble?"
"Yeah, but more than that she is the daughter of a [Monarch]"
"Brugh-"
"Ah, he fainted."
"Figures. Her father already killed people ogling at his precious daughter after all."
The girl ignored the whispers and weird shouts of ecstasy and arrived before a receptionist. The people in line immediately left the line for the girl who just raised her brow in wonder.
"Let's go, Myra, they are just surprised. This is not the first time."
Her friend said with a giggle.
"If you say so, Lea."
"Yeah, she's right, Myra."
"Tsk. Those peasants, staring vulgarly."
One of the two guys accompanying merely smiled while the other glared at the men ogling Myra.
"L-Lady Stormdila…!"
When the receptionist saw Myra, she stuttered and bowed immediately.
"It's okay. I'm just here with my friends to get a pass."
"Right away, Milady!"
The receptionist immediately started to swipe the screen in front of her.
To enter the [Enigma Dungeon], people had to first register in the affiliated [Eden Guild], then they will receive a pass for the dungeon. Thereafter, they would have to get a pass each time, they would want to travel in the dungeon. This rule was decided to be aware of the people inside the dungeon in case of disappearance. Even nobles had to obey this rule, regardless of their status.
"How long, Milady?"
The receptionist who recovered from the shock of seeing such a celebrity asked.
"The Academy starts in two days, Myra."
Lea reminded her friend about the entrance ceremony of the [Royal Eden Academy].
"Hm. We'll be back the next morning."
The receptionist nodded and started to swipe again on the screen, filling in the information.
"May I take your Eden Cards?"
Myra, her three friends and her five bodyguards gave their [Eden Card], also called guild cards to the receptionist.
Myra let the receptionist do her job and looked around her aimlessly.
"Sir, I need a drop of your blood to register you."
"Hm?"
Myra's gaze fell on the line next to her. A man wearing black pant, white shredded shirt and a strange black mask covering his face was registering for the first time to the guild.
A faint smile appeared on Myra's face seeing the weirdo wearing black clothes from head to toe, in that blazing hot weather. Incidentally, that beautiful smile knocked out several men who witnessed it.
"May I see your face, sir?"
"..."
Myra could tell that the man flinched slightly at the receptionist's demand.
"I'm sick…is it compulsory?"
A deep voice came out of the man who couldn't be more than twenty judging from his height and lean corpulence.
"Not at all Sir."
The receptionist smiled awkwardly at the man's pathetic and false excuse.
'He could have found a better one...'
Myra thought inwardly, somewhat amused.
"Here, Milady. Please have a safe trip."
The receptionist handed a few grey ticket-like passes
"Oh. Thanks"
Myra turned her gaze away from the man and took all the passes. Then she gave them to her mates before leaving the guild.
