"Grandfather, if the Beast Tamer organization wants to help the Southeast King in conquering the whole of Southern region, then they have to go against the Rainbow Cloud Academy because right now the southern region is under them," said Althea
"That's what I don't understand, both the Rainbow Cloud Academy and the Beast Tamer organization are forces worthy to be reckoned. They won't go against each other unless they fallout completely to the point where they can't be reconciled. If they went all out, both the forces will suffer greatly and will lose both their resources and manpower. Even if one of them turns out victorious, they will no longer be able to stand on equal footing with the other three great powers of the land of Dura after losing so much manpower and resources. They will be minimized to second or third rate force. So, all the five great powers had a tacit understanding and won't go against each other. But that doesn't mean they don't scheme against each other in the dark"
Althea nodded, she agreed with Hruth Baro. As the former sovereign of the Hall of Mage, no one can be more clearer about this than her.
"Since the Beast Tamer Organization wants to go against the Rainbow cloud Academy, Grandfather thinks that they might be hiding their trump card!" asked Althea.
" Yes, or else where would they get the confidence to go against Rainbow Cloud Academy. Without any trump cards, trying to go against Rainbow cloud Academy is equivalent to committing suicide" said Hruth Baro.
Sitting opposite Hruth Baro, Althea nodded in a daze. Her mind was chaotic right now.
'Don't tell me the Beast Tamer organization found the entrance'
Lost in her thoughts, Althea frowned. If it is what she is thinking then, the Beast Tamer organization will have a huge bargaining chip in taking over the whole southern region under their control. But why would they help the Southeast kingdom in conquering the whole of the Southern region! Even though they are compensating the southeast king for giving them the Void Scepter, but to go against the Rainbow cloud Academy for it just to present the whole Southern region on a silver platter to the Southeast king doesn't seem quite right no matter how much one look at it.
'This doesn't seem like the style of Beast Tamer organization' thought Althea
"Althea!" Hruth called out noticing that she is lost in her thoughts with a frown.
"Is there something on your mind that is troubling you!" asked Hruth Baro
After pulling herself back from the thoughts Althea replied, "No grandfather, there is nothing like that. I was just thinking, why would the Beast Tamer organization help the southeast kingdom in conquering the whole of Southern region just for the Void Scepter"
Hruth sighed and casually said, " I also don't know, maybe the Void scepter and the whole Southern Region have something in common, who knows. Just let your father be prepared for possible dangers in the future."
At this moment, as if struck by lightning, Althea suddenly jolted. Those words casually said by Hruth Baro brought enlightenment to Althea.
'That's it, the Entrance, it is the Entrance. Why didn't I think about this before? The Void Scepter is the key to enter the Ancient Beast Realm. And looking at how the Beast Tamer Organization is trying to take the whole of Southern region under their control, the entrance is possibly inside the Southern region' thought Althea.
Words cannot describe how excited she is right now. She could feel her heart beating wildly.
Her grandfather might not know that the Void Scepter is the key to enter the Ancient Beast Realm but she knows. Even though she wanted to tell her grandfather about it, she couldn't because this information is something that is known only to the higher-ups of the five great powers.
With her current identity, if she were to casually spit out that information, both her mother and grandfather would get suspicious of her.
Calming herself, Althea stood up lightly bowed, " Grandfather, I will warn father of it. Thank you for your efforts and concern towards the Luvan family"
" What is this formality for, you are my only granddaughter and your mother is my only child, how could I not worry about you. As your Grandfather, it is my duty" Hruth got up and said holding Althea's shoulder.
"Are you guys done talking, it almost lunchtime" asked Furiana who was long ignored by the grandfather and granddaughter duo.
Althea and Hruth Baro looked at each other with a faint smile.
" We are done, done now. let's go to the dining hall right away", said Hruth with a smile as he took Furiana's hand and went out of the room.
Althea followed behind, currently, her thoughts were filled with the Ancient Beast Realm. This Ancient Beast Realm is a place filled with opportunities, and only Beast Tamers can go inside this Realm.
Five thousand years ago, due to the great war in the land of Dura, the whereabouts of the Void Scepter and its entrance remained a mystery and many valuable records got lost. There was a lapse in history five thousand years ago and people only have a vague idea about the history of the land of Dura before the great war.
The Beast Tamer organization had been searching for the void scepter and the entrance to the Ancient Beast Realm for many centuries. From the records of the Ancient books, the Ancient Beast Realm opens every one thousand years on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. But since the Void Scepter was missing, the Ancient Beast Realm remained closed for five thousand years now.
Althea couldn't help but hold some expectations inside her heart. Judging by the actions of the Beast Tamer organization, Althea had a premonition that the day Ancient Beast Realm opens would not be too far.
"Why are you in a daze again? follow up" Furiana turns around and softly yelled at Althea.
Althea almost lost her balance after getting yelled at. It can't be helped, she was too excited. She was lucky to be quickly caught by Northem who was behind her, or else she might have fallen straight on her face.
After lunch, Althea looked at Hruth Baro and said, "Grandfather, I have a small request"
