Upon hearing his father's order, Heracles did not hesitate on following his order. At that moment, he shouted, "System, show me my new main quest!" At the next seconds, the details of his next special mission showed in front of him.
[A dungeon has been discovered in your father's territory! It is an uncharted dungeon filled with great possibilities!
As one of its first explorer, you need to exploit this one in a lifetime chance to become stronger!
~ Explore the dungeon up to its 50th floor!
~ Defeat the great five floor boss in your way!
~ Find the Magic Hematite ore deposit inside!
~ You have six months to finish this quest!
~ As a reward for finishing this quest, the system will reward you a Mythical-tier skill!
~ In case of failure, the only Mythical-tier skill in your arsenal will be taken away by the system!]
Upon seeing the details of his new mission, Heracles could not help but sigh with great dismay. When he saw his son's expression, Prince Lucas asked him, "What is your mission, son? Why do you show that kind of expression in front of me and your uncle?"
At that moment, Prince Heracles said in response, "See it yourselves, father and uncle! System, show them my mission detail at once!"
Upon seeing the full details of his mission, Prince Lucas and Prince Laxerus looked at each other with smiles on their faces. "This is a good thing for us, my nephew! Don't you know about that Magic Hematite Ore!? It would greatly bolsters our forces!" said Prince Laxerus with great vigor.
"Yes, I know that it is one of the top-grade ores that you can find in the continent. I was just looking at the punishment in case of failure," said Heracles in response.
"Although Mythical skills are extremely rare, you will still have another one due to your blood," said Prince Laxerus nonchalantly. Heracles became confused upon hearing his uncle. He could only ask him saying, "My blood? What do you mean, Third Uncle?"
"Well, since the blood of the first emperor runs through your vein, the god, Ratsel, will surely shower with his blessings. Even the royalty of Alexander Kingdom is blessed by the great god because they have Alexander's blood running through their vein," Prince Laxerus explained.
"Alexander Kingdom? The kingdom founded by the brother of the first Overlord after the death of the first emperor?" Heracles asked with great curiosity. Prince Laxerus was about to tell him about that matter when suddenly Prince Lucas decided to join the conversation by getting back to the main point of the discussion.
"Enough about that details. You will learn about the truth of Alexander Kingdom as you learned about our Domain's history. For now, you need to start your preparation. Since you are afraid to lose that Mythical-tier skill of yours, you need to start the preparation for your departure at once! Summon Leonard on your way there!" said Prince Lucas with a serious expression.
"I will do as you command, Father!" said Heracles before leaving his father's side.
As soon as he left, Prince Laxerus said to his second brother, "You know that you can't protect your son from that grim truth about our family's history, right?" "Yes, I know, Third Brother. But you are a father as well, you know the feeling of wanting to protect them from that tragic truth as much as we can," said Prince Lucas with the grim expression on his face.
Before the atmosphere became more grim, Leonard knocked at the second prince's door after rushing for the prince's summon. "This is Leonard, Sun of the Domain." "Come in, Sir Leonard!" said Prince Lucas as soon as he heard the gallant knight.
"Greetings, Suns of the Domain! What is your command to this humble knight?" Leonard said with great conviction as he kneeled in front of the two princes of the domain.
"I need you to escort Prince Heracles and Prince Elijah in the dungeon!" said Prince Lucas with an imposing aura. "I will do as you command, Sun of the Domain!" said Leonard without any hesitation.
"You just need to escort them until you find the deposits of Magic Hematite Ore inside the dungeon! As soon as you finish that mission, you must go back and return to us with the information regarding that matter!" said Prince Lucas with the same expression as before.
"How about the mission of escorting the two Suns of the Domain, my liege?" asked Leonard upon hearing the further command of the second prince.
The third prince responded to him in a nonchalant way. He said to Leonard, "We sent them to become stronger. You just need to teach them some survival skills there until you find what we tasked you to do."
"I will do as you command, Suns of the Domain! If there's nothing else, I would respectfully take my leave!" said Leonard without batting an eye.
"You can now leave, Sir Leonard. Prepare at once! There's no time to lose!" Prince Lucas said without any hesitation.
"I will everything as you order, Sun of the Domain!" Leonard said before leaving the side of the two princes of the domain.
When the two of them were left alone, Prince Laxerus smiled toward his second brother. "It seems like the deadline for our plan will be earlier that we planned," he said to Prince Lucas. "Indeed. It seems like we need to start planning to the critical part of our plan. Call all the Supreme Generals and King's Shadow that joined our cause!" said the second prince with great vigor.
"I will do as you say, my brother. Prepare a meeting room later. As soon as our two only sons left our side, we need to send our wives toward their great fathers before talking with them!" Prince Laxerus said with a very serious expression.
Prince Lucas's expression became menacing at that very moment. He said with a very imposing tone, "Yeah! We need to remover everything that will be used to us as a weakness. After all, we are starting to commit a great TREASON against that RUTHLESS FATHER OF OURS!"
