"Crown Prince ,I have got some information about that boy." Said Refrein as he knocked on the window.
"Information ,say." Livioun said .
He was preparing to leave but stopped when Refrein suddenly transpired with the information. He knew he was going to be late and it would create problems but still he couldn't leave the information like that.
(The Throne Room - Royal Palace )
(Planet Liva.)
Livion took extra precautions before hearing the details .He didn't want to let others hear that and create a tremendous problem.
Hence,he created a sound proof invisible barrier, the barrier locked the whole room with a light pink girl fronting at the top.
"Proceed ." Said Livion sitting back on the throne.
"The boy's name is Darcel ,he was originally an orphan ,it was claimed that he was adopted by an orphanage in 'Black city',since the day when he was just a baby .So , nothing could be found about his parents."said He ,but Livion stopped him in the middle.
"You said that nothing was known about his parents but It is a rule in Planet Liva that if a couple or any woman doesn't want their child then they have to make a contract with the orphanage because if they don't they can't get out of the boundaries of the orphanage." Said Livioun.
"Yes , but there was no sign of his parents and they left without making a contract ." said Refrein, clarifying the statement.
Hearing this,Livion raised his brows and a light of confusion could be seen in his eyes .It was in fact rare because only 'Power holders ' can get away like this without making their presence known .More suspiciously, as the number of 'power holders' are decreasing so,nobody will throw their children with natural ability away.
"Darcel was adopted by the Pope himself when he came to the orphanage and saw him; he was then seven years old.
The Pope while performing the ceremony was attacked by a group of assassins and Darcel involuntarily shielded him from the attack .Seeing ,this great ability Pope adopted him."
Said Refrein , giving him a stoic look.
"His ability was shown when he was seven years old .How can it be without the help of a meteorite?" Said Livion .His eyes open wide and his cheeks curled up clearly giving a vibe of confusion.
"It was said that his ability came out because of his desperation and later he felt sick too and the Pope used his magic to calm his energy down but he didn't need a meteorite because he was naturally awakened but this cause a damage and it was hard for him to control his power that's why the Pope asked him to never use his power recklessly. " said Refrein.
"So, what about the current scenario.?"said Livion in a serious tone.
"He never used his ability ,till he reached 18 but then suddenly his power became unstable on a full moon night and in order to hide it he ran through a forest but coincidentally the 'dark forces ' saw it and captured him .He was prisoned there mainly for a year before he ran off somehow. The specifics are not known." Said Refrein as he gave the whole account and some papers with his documentation.
Upon looking at the face ,Livion felt a familiar vibe as if he had known him for so long.
"Ok , I will review it later.Leave." said Livion while still looking at the photo of the Darcel.
Livion wanted to see the picture for some more time but it was already late and he had to go now otherwise questions would arise.
Livion got up and removed the barrier and proceeded towards his father. He knew that he was being watched and every step he took he would have to be extra careful.
"It was such an irony that everyone thinks how powerful the prince is but he doesn't even have any freedom ,he has to always be careful. " thought Livion as he sighed.
His life was already changing and the thoughts that never occurred once are now taking place no rather building a base in his mind.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Pushing the door and kneeling down Livion said.
The room was spacious, lanterns hanging ,a big red carpet and on that carpet a man with a study physique wearing a velvet red cloak and a crown was standing facing the window .From the wrinkles in his hands it was clear that he was in his forties .
Still he looked much younger as he turned around it felt like he was somewhere between thirties.
"Livion ,I heard that you captured a boy yesterday and tortured him but didn't kill him." Said He directly without trying to hide anything.
As Livion thought the news was leaked .He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Somehow stabling himself he said .
"Father ,you heard right ,he was the one who saved me yesterday during my coronation ceremony. " said Livion.
"Oh,then why did you torture him you should have rewarded him." Said the king with a tone of sarcasm in his words.
"Father,we don't know what was his motive so I I torture him to say that but he didn't say anything so for future interrogation I kept him. He might be valuable."said Livion defending himself.
"What about magic?" Said the king.
A shiver ran down Livion's spine he knew that his father was aware but he can confirm that the whole matter is still unknown or else is not yet confirmed so he might gamble as well.
"Father,he didn't use any magic but he is a killed fighter ,my mana was disblanced and it created some ice shield in the room. He used that shield and tried to defend me but failed. " said Livion in a sharp and monotonous tone he never wanted to show the fear in his tongue.
"Ok,I think for now you did well ,but that also means you let your guard off so what do you think?" Said The king putting his hand on Livion's shoulder.
As he put it Livion could feel the burn in his body but he didn't react.
"You should be careful. " he said while intensifying the burn.
Livion wanted to remove it but he endured ,it was all he could do at this moment until he became strong. It was also a reminder if how much torture he faced and why he has to become stronger...
