After appearing on Heiden's side, Prince Lucas said to his blacksmith friend with a serious expression, "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!"
"I see. I will start forging many weapons to aid you in your endeavor, my dearest friend. As for my disciple, just tell the word when you would try the final part of your plan. I would immediately go to my student's side when the words spread that you failed!" said Heiden with the same expression as the second prince.
"You are a good friend and master, Heiden. If everything's workout, I want you to be my side working for the domain's sake!" said Prince Lucas with a smile.
"I will support you with my every being when such time comes, my friend. For now, I will use everything in my disposal to make your chance higher in this plan of yours!" said Heiden before leaving the side of the second prince.
'Now, it is time for me to go to my father-law's side to ensure my wife's safety!' Prince Lucas thought to himself before leaving without any delay.
A day has passed away ever since Heracles finished his last lesson with his master. Heracles woke up as soon as he heard the birds singing as the sun shone brightly. After he finished his blacksmith lesson, Heracles felt empty deep in his mind.
'It's been a month ever since I fought against the Triton Organization. Apart from everything that I learned from my master, I did not gain that much in the past month. I only gained a few free skill points and a couple of Epic-tier skill during this time,' Heracles thought to himself with a blank stare toward the window of his room.
He was bored as soon as he woke up, so he decided to shout something. He shouted, "System, show me my status at once!" At that very moment, the status window of the young prince suddenly appeared in front of him.

Upon his realization of how little he improve, Heracles's eyes suddenly changed as if he gained new determination in his life. He thought to himself as he gets out of his bed, "I must ask my father to send me to similar missions like when I fought against Triton Organization! I must improve for the sake of everything I love!"
After finishing his morning preparation, he came knocking toward his father's office with great vigor. "Father, this is Heracles. I want to ask you something!" said the young prince as he knocked.
Prince Lucas responded in a calm demeanor. He said as he sat inside his office, "I was just about to call you, son. Come in. I have something to tell you!" Upon hearing his father's response, the young prince wondered to himself, 'What is it that my father wants me to do to call me? Is he planning on giving me mission like I am planning to ask?'
Heracles decided to just come in because he realized that all of his questions will be answered as soon as he faced them. Upon entering, Heracles saw his Uncle Laxerus sitting in front of his father. He did not hesitate on greeting his uncle saying, "Greetings, Third Uncle!"
"Hello, my impressive nephew! I heard about your raid of the Triton Organization! You did something splendid in your age!" said the Third Prince with a smile.
Heracles smiled upon hearing his uncle's praises toward him. As soon as he finished a conversation with his uncle, he immediately turned his attention toward his sitting father. "Why do you want to call me, father?" he asked with a serious expression.
Upon seeing his nephew, Prince Laxerus thought to himself, 'He can now show that kind of face toward his father, huh? Well, killing another person certainly forces someone of his age to grow!'
"Yes, I was just about to call you because I want to send you to your first official mission!" said Prince Lucas without changing any expression. Upon hearing his father, the young prince tried to hide his excited expression only to fail miserably.
He still jumped in joy despite all the restraints he had. "You have a mission for me!?"
At the side, Prince Laxerus thought to himself as he smiles, 'I am glad that he did not lose all his childlike innocence after all the things that he did and experience during that time a month ago!'
"Okay, calm down, son. Listen to me carefully," said Prince Lucas with a serious expression. Upon hearing his father, Heracles immediately tried to calm himself up until his father continued on what he was saying to him.
Prince Lucas explained to Heracles, "The Geological Exploration team has discovered a dungeon inside the newly discovered magic crystal mine. I want you and your older 10th cousin, Prince Elijah, to explore it alongside Leonard! Get stronger there and try to survive there for a year as you go explore all of its floor!"
Before he could react, a notification suddenly appeared in front of the young prince out of nowhere.
[You got a new main quest from your system!]
Before seeing the content of the notification, Heracles said to his father, "Father, I got a system notification for a new main quest!"
Upon hearing his son, Prince Lucas and Prince Laxerus looked at each other with smiles on their faces. 'A special quest always gives a great reward! This means that my son would receive another reward no less like before!' the second prince thought to himself.
At the next moment, he said to his son, "See the details of you quest. Let's see what you need to do!"
"System, show me my new main quest!"
