Chapter 145: Winter Of Death (Part-1)
Chapter 145: Winter Of Death (Part-1)
Hearing that the woman inside the ice is still alive. Both Kai and Jai were amazed.
Others were also surprised but not so much.
One must know that the continent is sealed for a time period of a minimum of nine hundred million years. So this woman can be their great-great... great grandmother's age and she is still alive.
Even if they say that age doesn't matter in the world of magic. It's too much.
"But don't magic Commander only have a lifespan of ten thousand years?"
Asked Kai as he looked at the woman inside the ice block "How is she even alive after getting stabbed by a sword in her belly? For all these years"
"Well, according to Arbus. It's because of her vampire bloodline and that sword stabbed in her belly. It has frozen even her lifespan. She is only alive due to the immortal body of a vampire. Unless you cut off her head from the body, she won't die" said Asava while he pointed towards the neck of the woman.
Jai raised his eyebrows "Elder are you sure? Is she currently in great slumber?"
He was not just asking for fun. He can feel that his magic sense is getting influenced by the woman inside the ice.
"Maybe she is just pretending to be in deep sleep?"
Asava shook his head and looked at the ice block.
"We currently have no idea about her identity nor can I think what it possibly could be. We shouldn't wake her, even if she is just pretending to be asleep, I don't think we should do anything to unfreeze her. It must be the power of that sword, which is stopping her from getting out and we all know that currently at the continent there is no expert. Who can match her"
Declared Asava with a serious tone. He was not joking and was about to put the ice block and the scythe inside the spiral ring. But Kai stopped him.
"Elder let me keep both of them inside my ring. I would like to show them to Master Daoma. Maybe he can tell something about them"
Asava looked at him and nodded.
It doesn't matter if Kai keeps them, after all, they are just useless things to him. Without hesitation, he handed them over to Kai.
"Just don't do anything with the ice block"
Asava was really concerned about it. He had spent seven years of his life in the great magic world and had seen the might of his father.
Though he cannot determine at that time about the cultivation stage of his father. It was definitely not that of a magic champion stage and his heart is telling him that. He was still weaker than the woman inside the ice.
Kai had a casual expression on his face. When he put the ice block inside a myriad world ring. It was obvious that Kai was not taking his warning seriously.
'It will be a waste. If I don't use the power of death on her. Using the ability of death to call out the book story, I will easily find out about the real identity of her and have world items with her. She is definitely related with the ten peak magic Emperors, who betrayed my teacher Daoma'
Thought Kai as he was interrupted by the duo of father and daughter; shifting everyone's attention towards them.
"Can you guys, move out of the room for a moment. I would like to talk with Kai personally without any interruption"
Everyone looked at him. They are more than familiar about the topic which Emperor Harold wants to talk with Kai about. One can just tell it by reading his facial expressions. It was the face of a father who didn't want to marry his daughter to someone else. Sadness can be seen on his face with worry.
Judging the sensitivity of the situation nobody disagreed and left the room one after another.
But before leaving the room both Asava and Jai gave a thumbs up to Kai. Wishing him good luck.
After everyone left the room. Emperor Harold closed the door and used rune magic to seal it, sat on the bed, and placed his western Dragos design coat aside.
The aura of the emperor is nowhere to be seen. He looked more like a military general now with a completely different aura around him and sat down on the bed edge and looked at Kai and Froleytia who were both standing before him.
Kai doesn't know why. But the Harold he had seen sometime before and Harold now, had completely different styles and attitudes with clean, determined eyes. Making him feel a little nervous.
Harold looked at Kai with keen eyes.
"Kai Seft. Don't know what kind of charm you have to make my daughter want to marry you and spend her life with you. She didn't even care if you have multiple wives. But I care, can you guarantee me that after marriage you will love her as much as your other wife's"
asked Harold and silently waited for Kai to reply.
Kai was not surprised by Harold's questions.
"Yes I can"
Answered Kai without hesitation and sincere tone.
Harold nodded and glimpsed at his daughter for a moment and looked at Kai again.
"Kai, have you already decided who is going to be the future queen of Buraford Kingdom. After all, the position of the queen cannot be left vacant. She is also responsible for the birth of your heir and future ruler of the kingdom"
While Kai scratched his cheek, he never had considered. Who is going to be the queen? Why is it so? maybe because he never cared? Kai is incapable of giving birth to the next generation due to his origin bloodline.
"About that..."
Kai hesitated for some moments and explained that due to his high bloodline rank. He cannot have any child.
Both Froleytia and the Emperor were amused by Kai's casual approach to such a serious topic.
Emperor Harold found it doubtful. He is well aware that Buraford Kingdom Royal family bloodline rank is only peak king bloodline.
But according to Kai, his bloodline rank is above Emperor bloodline of the Chaos Empire.
Which is almost impossible. How many people have bloodline rank above Emperor bloodline?
But suddenly his heart shook and remembered about the origin of the founding King of Buraford Kingdom and looked at Kai.
'Did he inherited the awakened bloodline from Eragon Buraford? Peak Saint rank bloodline. Descendent of Shaman King Kabo'
As a descendent of the Chaos Empire, Emperor Harold was interested in legends and myths of the past. He had read many ancient books that were kept inside the imperial library of the Chaos Empire in his childhood days. The legend of shaman King was his favorite. How he unified the entire continent without killing a single person and protected the human race from the magic beasts of the Forbidden Forest and it's a fact that Shaman King story is real and his legacy remains in the form of Shaman Mountain Sect in the northern lands and currently under the rule of Shaman King Farbo. One of the peak magic Champions on the Continent.
'If Kai bloodline has awakened and re-entered saint rank. It will be no surprise that his cultivation is so high at such a young age.
That's the only reason I can think about his current cultivation. For a bloodline to move upwards in rank is very rare. Due to the high requirements of destiny,which takes a long time to accumulate. Even Chaos Empire imperial family had to go through the process of more than six hundred years to reach the current rank of the bloodline. But it will differ in the Kai case. His ancestor had peak Saint rank bloodline and he must be one of those abnormal people born with an extraordinary density. Helping his bloodline to regain its former glory'
Just thinking about it made Harold delighted.
"Kai doesn't worry about the problem with your bloodline. I can also understand that a higher rank of bloodline always has its advantages and disadvantages. Until you try hard to produce the next generation it will not be a problem, and you are still young"
Hearing that Froleytia blushed.
Seeing the expression and hearing his words. Kai can already guess that. Harold has misunderstood the true rank of his bloodline.
But he didn't bother about it and glimpsed at Froleytia from the corner of his left eye.
'If her father has raised this topic that means. He wants her daughter to become the queen of Buraford Kingdom. But I cannot decide on my own. I do have to consider the opinion of others'
So Kai paused for a moment to organize his thoughts and said in a serious but humble tone:
"Emperor Harold. I can understand from the topic that you want to make Froleytia the queen of Buraford Kingdom from my side. It's ok. But I cannot decide it on my own and have to consider the opinion of others"
Harold smiled on hearing Kai reply and nodded.
"If you have made the decision just now without considering their feelings. I would have not allowed my daughter to marry you. Even if she wants to. I don't want her to regret it for her entire life. But since you decided to ask for the opinion of others. I will not stop her."
Hearing that Froleytia looked at her father.
"The last part was a test for him. My daughter, if he had been a person who didn't care about others' opinions. That would have mean, he doesn't care about the feelings of his other women"
Saying that Harold looked at Kai "I will come to the Crowning ceremony and discuss marriage with your parents. Until then talk with them and discuss with others who will become the queen of Buraford Kingdom. It's an important positions and leaving it vacant will bring trouble in the future"
As Harold walked towards Kai and patted his shoulders and looked at his daughter.
"Froleytia let's go. I still have work to do in the imperial palace. Yesterday events have caused quite a damage to the capital city and many nobles and their relatives have died. It would be good. If you can help me with the work"
Froleytia nodded and looked at Kai.
"Let's meet again," she said and bowed, following after her father.
Seeing the departed figure of father and daughter, Kai felt relieved and tried to relax.
"Finally they are gone. It's was my first time having a conversation like that"
As he lay down on the bed and looked at the ceiling.
