As soon as we got back at the palace, they left me to the kings throne.
Dia: Please stay here and wait for the king to come because, he wants to discuss about something with you. I don't know the details but please do wait.
Jade: Mhm.
I was back at the palace all over again. The king wants to talk to me for some reason.
Titus: As you may know I want to have a discussion with you.
Jade: Yes, now what is it that you want discuss with me?
Titus: Then I'll say it now, As we've looked in the great library there are no books where there are a Sin that is summoned from another world but there are no records of having 8 heroes at the same time, I'm pretty sure you know how a sin can be made?
Jade: Yeah, I heard all the details from Leo.
Titus: Leo?
Jade: Yes, the the sin of pride.
Titus: Ah, the one that broke you out of this place. Now going back to the topic, Like I said there are no topics on having 8 heroes being summoned for this is a new discovery.
Jade: I see if that is so then what do you plan on doing with me?
Titus: I want you to help us with the calamity that is about to happen at the same time get all of the sins.
How can he ask me about this places problem after what he did?!
Jade: Funny how, you tried to kill me when you found out I wasn't a hero that time.
Titus: I know, I'll repay you with kindness and trust this time I won't make the same mistake like I did back then.
Jade: I hope you know what you're saying.
Titus: ....
We discussed about the plans he had in mind and how I can help with it but then again I don't plan to fully trust him after for what he did.
After the discussion with the king he let me go and gave me a room in the palace. Thinking on what happened made my head spin. I guess I'll go and take a stroll in the kingdom, oh I'll also go to the smithery that I saw the last time.
While I was walking I saw Dia but this time she wasn't wearing her armor, she's wearing an Overdress and like the last time her hair was like on fire she seemed to have noticed me.
Dia: So how did the discussion with the king go?
Jade: It went good and didn't have any problems, I noticed you look good in with that dress.
Dia: Spare me the pleasantry.
I noticed her sword that she's carrying, it was broken and was split into two.
Jade: You seemed to be going somewhere.
Dia: Yes, I was about to go the smithery.
Jade: Oh!, Seems like we're going in the same place I should as well accompany you.
Dia: Do as you wish.
After having a word with each other we made our way to the smithery.
When we made it Dia called the Smith and talked about her sword.
Smith: This can be fixed after a week.
Dia: Can you fix it a little faster?
Smith: I'm sorry but we have some customers to mind too along with that is 'this' the sword was badly damaged to the point where it was even in this state, if you want you can just throw this away and buy a new one I'll even give you a discount.
Dia: NO! I REFUSE!, I'd rather wait.
Smith: If you say so.
Maybe that sword was special for her to do decline the offer. I looked at the shop for some swords and something so I won't need to manifest everything, I was about to reach the time limit when I fought with Dia, Schild, and Sia. Good thing that the battle was over before they even find out.
While looking at the shop I saw a sword to my liking. It has a small pommel and handling it's grip was also a good feeling, looking at the edge it was quite sharp...obviously the scabbard has a good design too. It gave off a good impression in my eyes, but as I remembered...I don't have any money in this place. The smith seems to have noticed me and approached me.
Smith: Is that sword into your liking? The name of that sword is Durendal. I'll sell it for you for half the price since this is the last of it.
Dia: Isn't that good?
Jade: Yeah, Good if I have the money to buy it.
Dia: Then I'll buy it for you, Hey!, I'll buy that.
Smith: Ah~ thanks for buying at our smithery please do come back
As Dia got the sword she gave it to me.
Dia: Take this as a welcome back gift for you.
Jade: I'll definitely repay you when I have the money.
Dia: No need for that.
Jade: NO I INSIST!
Dia: I see then if you want to repay me then cherish it and use it to protect the others.
Jade: Then I'll do my best just to do that
Dia: Umu*nod* umu*nod*
After that Dia left and made her way back to the palace. Looking at the sword again it feels good to have this by my side rather than using my Natsuke all the time along with the other weapons that I can manifest and save the time limit.
After three hours I can use my ability again but that three hours can change the tide of the battles that I will take on from now. I got back at the palace and there was a guard that gave me a letter inside it was an invitation. Feast? I'll use this to meet all of the heroes. I went to the dining hall and saw a lot of guards along with some faces that I've seen specially the king.
