"Master! Master! I finished forging a Dark Purple Stellar Sword!" Heracles said as he excitedly go toward his master's side. Heiden could not hide his excitement upon seeing his disciple's achievement.
He said to him as he was holding his disciple's work, "This is magnificent! I can't believe that you would progressed this much under my tutelage for just a few months! I am very proud of you, my beloved disciple!"
Heracles smiled while rubbing his nose as he hides his embarrassment. He said to his master, "It is because I have a great master! I look forward to learning more of your teachings!"
Upon hearing him, Heiden's expression changed a little. After sighing a little, he said to his disciple with a serious expression, "About that my disciple, I have something to tell you..."
Heracles looked at his master with a confused expression upon hearing him. At that moment, he asked his master, "Why do you look you so serious all of a sudden, master? What is it that you want to tell this disciple?"
The master blacksmith took a long sigh this time before speaking what's on his mind. As soon as he made up his mind, he said to his disciple, "I don't have anything to teach you... Forging the Dark Purple Stellar Sword is the peak of my knowledge. Therefore, it is time for our master-disciple relationship to end..."
Upon hearing his master, Heracles suddenly bowed at his master at the floor to show his respect. Heiden immediately tried to stop him from doing so, but the young prince was stubborn that the mister blacksmith was unable to do anything.
Heracles said to his master with a sincere expression, "Master! I will not end our relationship as master-disciple just because I can't learn anything from you anymore! You are my master in life because you built the foundation of what would become in the future! So please, watch as I grow into a great Blacksmith as my master!"
"Fine, fine! Just get up from there, my disciple! Although you are my disciple, you are still one of the venerable princes of this great domain! I will be beheaded if someone sees this situation!" said Heiden with a serious expression.
As he was getting up, Heracles jokingly said, "I will behead any person who do that first before they get to you, master!" Upon hearing his student, Heiden could not help but laugh alongside his disciple.
Meanwhile, at the office of the Second Prince, one of the prince men suddenly came knocking at the prince's door. "It is Raymond, Sun of The Domain, the leader of Geographical Exploration group. I have something to report to you, sir!" said the man knocking at the second prince's door.
Upon hearing him, Prince Lucas said with a calm demeanor, "Come inside." Upon hearing the prince's cue, he immediately came in with a smile on his face. "By the look of your face, you seem to have good news with you today. Report everything to me!" said the second prince with the same expression as before.
"I'm sure you remember the mine that we found before, Sun of the Domain?" asked Raymond toward the Second Prince. Prince Lucas nodded upon hearing him. A moment later, he said, "The one with great deposit of mana crystals? One of the greatest achievement of your team, right?"
The exploration leader smiled after hearing the Second Prince. Before responding, Raymond's expression was filled with more excitement. He said to the Second Prince at that moment, "Yes, Sun of the Domain. We found the reason why mana crystals began developing in that area of your territory!"
"The reason? Don't beat around the bush and enlighten me," said Prince Lucas in a calmly manner. "As you wish, Sun of the Domain! As were mining to contribute to your territory, we discovered a new hidden dungeon! It is the reason why there is a great deposit of magic crystal in that area!"
Prince Lucas's expression suddenly brighten upon hearing the news from the exploration leader. "That's a great news, Exploration Leader! You need to keep this a secret to everyone! Talk to everyone that knows that words about this matter must be kept hidden!" said the Second Prince without any hesitation on his mind.
"I already done everything that you said, Sun of the Domain! I will make sure that no words about this matter will get out! I will take my leave now, my great prince!" said the exploration leader as soon as he finished reporting.
As soon as the exploration leader left, the second prince's expression suddenly changed. He was filled with great excitement. He immediately began writing a letter with smile he seldom uses.
He thought to himself as he wrote his letter, 'I must tell this matter to my third brother! I finally found a place where I can keep my son as we go through that plan without becoming my weakness in this endeavor!'
Meanwhile, at the door of the Layla Palace, Heracles was saying goodbye to his master. "Thank you for everything, master! I will make sure to use all the knowledge you have given me through the past months!"
"Make me proud, my disciple! Visit me sometimes when you have time and tell me all the new things that you experience!" said Heiden with a smile as he was preparing to leave.
As soon as Heracles went away, Prince Lucas suddenly appeared behind the master blacksmith. "Hey, Heiden. I have something important to tell you!" said Prince Lucas.
Heiden was shocked upon the Second Prince's sudden appearance, but not so much because he is friend with the prince for a long time. He said to him at that moment, "Pray tell, Sun of the Domain."
"Don't become like that with me, my friend! Well, I have something to tell you!" said Prince Lucas with a serious expression. "What is it, my friend?" asked Heiden with the same expression as the prince.
"I am planning to start THAT phase of my plan! If something bad happens, I entrust you with my son's well-being as his master!"
