The Royal Capital - Valhalla
It has been a few months since Alice got Athena's Heart and her and Sami's friendship has never been stronger. Samael's birthday was 3 months ago on June the 7th, he had a small celebration within the Forte Household, with his parents and friends.
The duo have been playing with each other everyday either in the Forte Household or Valhalla. Today is September the 18th and it's Alice's birthday. As she is the royal princess, she will have a huge banquet inviting all nobles in Britannia and maybe even powerful people from outside the Empire.
However, Alice wasn't thrilled, her birthday party is more like a business meeting, the adults talk to each other trying to make profit, even the children only play with her to get on her good side.
All the emotions and feelings seem so superficial, everyone that comes to her party are two-faced, cunning bastards.
So Alice decided to use a carriage to travel to the palace, as a way to waste as much time as possible. Sami felt Alice's nervousness and tried to get her mind off the party, "Hey Alice, what is your dream?"
"My dream is that the people I love stay safe and happy" Alice began to explain " To make sure my dream comes true I shall become strong, strong enough that no one can hurt them."
"I will reach the Eternal realm, the peak of this world and protect them forever." Alice firmly said, her eyes filled with determination.
"Yes your right, without cultivation how can we protect our friends!" Sami had been focused on cooking in his previous life and even this one, however he has neglected the brutal truth of this world.
Below Emperor Realm all are cannon fodder.
Cultivation in this world was split from Tier 1-9
After Tier 9, you break through to Transcendence.
Then the Emperor realm, True Immortal Realm, Dao realm, Saint Realm, Tribulation Realm and then the Eternal Realm. Each realm is then split into nine floors (tiers do not have floors, you just break through.)
The weak have no freedom, no control.
Sami could not accept this, he would never accept this and from this day forward he swore to cultivate, he vowed to become the strongest.
"Thank you Alice, I needed that"
"Needed what?" she asked, feeling the conviction from her friend.
"Hahaha Don't worry." Sami said as patted Alice's head, "Happy Birthday, don't eat too much I'm going to cook for you after the party."
"Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"
As the beautiful Carriage travelled down the street it attracted many eyes as it was absolutely stunning. It was white and gold, the elven runes carved into the wood shone releasing wind aura to increase the speed. They were pulled by black horses that looked like ebony, dark and powerful. The horses' muscles radiated with herculean might, their hooves glided across the ground surprisingly swift and elegant.
The symbol of the royal family was plastered to the front of the carriage it was made out of black iron and depicted a mysterious figure standing in the sky looking down at the countless races below him.
His face showed clear disdain and gave of the feeling of majesty, he was the true ruler of all. The man wore a crown and held in his hand an egg shaped object, this represented the world. Below the depiction was a name.
It was Brego, the surname of one of the strongest families in the World.
And below the name was an inscription, it read "We are the Brego Family, founders of Britannia. All races shall bow before us, the true rulers of this world."
