"The kingdom is divided in three sections, the outermost section is where the common people of the kingdom like. The people living in the inner section call it the pigpen. The inner section is the area where we are currently living."
A man with long wavy and wild hair turned around from the window to look at the little girl of age 5-7,she was looking at him while listening attentively. He reached out to pat her head as a smile graced her face.
She had the same hair as that of the man and also the same blue eyes.
The man continued speaking, taking his hand off her forehead.
"The only people allowed in the inner section are the people who have awakened their Ether and their family members. Sigh~ the world has turned into a place where only the strong can survive."
The man approached a big study table and pulled the lavish chair back while taking the seat on it.
" You know the pigpen is called that for a reason. During these years Humans were not the only one who have awakened many animals and all types of living beings have awakened too. Once in a while these beasts attack the kingdom and if by chance they breach the def-"
Before he could finish he saw the shadow of one of the bookshelves flicker which made him pause in the middle of the sentence.
"Diana, I just remembered I have a little task that I have to do before its deadline. So, can you leave for now? I will call you later."
Diana was confused but she complied and left the room. As soon as the door closed the man's expression changed to a cold one. He looked at the corner where the shadow flickered and released a killing intent.
" What did I tell you about not interrupting me without any notification?"
The shadow flickered once more and a man covered in black clothing from head to toe revealed himself and kneeled in front of the man. His figure trembled under the man's gaze but he kept his head down and spoke.
"Master Ethan, It's about the twins you told me to keep an eye on, I found out what their ether ability is."
Hearing the man's words, Ethan retracted his aura and leaned backwards on the chair, signaling the man to continue.
" Their ability is that they can sync their movements with one another. Once this ability is active they can move their body side by side. Because of their ability has low potential they,The king-"
Before he could continue he felt a suffocating pressure bore on his body. The pressure made the man struggle to breath.
"My apologies, I meant Arion has ordered the two of them to enter the arena for the next championship. Even Erla has been forced to enter the arena along with them."
Hearing the queen's name a huge amount of killing intent leaked along with a dark red pulsating energy. His blue eyes gained a red hue as they glowed.
The man kneeling before him did not dare to look up as he felt that he was in the presence of a majestic beast.
The aura vanished as soon as it came as the man mumbled "finally, got a chance."
The man in black sighed in relief as he felt his body relaxed. His instinct has been telling him to run. If he had stayed like that for a few more minutes he might have peed in his tight black pants.
He has never seen the man lose his control in front of anyone. This might be the first time he has lost control of his emotions like that.
"No need to watch over them, just keep a tab on their power level. As long as they don't grow strong enough to affect our plans no need to waste resources on them. "
He paused and placed his elbows on the table while joining his hand. He closed his eyes and appeared to be deep in thoughts. After a few seconds he opened his eyes again and spoke up.
"Nevermind that, Check over their growth once a month and do random check-ups, keep an eye on that Aiden boy. I need to know what his power is related to. Find out as soon as you can. If there is nothing else you can go."
" There is one more thing sir, Seraphina is training the twins herself."
His words made Ethan glare at him with cold eyes.
" And you are telling me this now?" Mr. Bove's voice was so cold that it shivers down his spine. Pressing the button under his table he looked at the kneeling with no emotions in his eyes.
Within a second of pressing the button another person in black outfit came and kneeled beside the already kneeling man.
Ethan did not say anything, just showed a gesture of serving the neck with his fingers. Before the man could make a noise he was knocked unconscious by the other man .
As soon as the man left along with his unconscious subordinate, Ethan stood up from his chair and walked towards the gate and opened it suddenly.
His warm smile was greeted by a panicked little girl who was leaning against the gate while having her ear up against the door.
" What are you doing here? Did I not tell you to wait for me to call you?"
The girl instead of responding pouted and sneaked a glance inside the room. Seeing no-one inside there she looked back at the man and spoke in an accusing tone.
" Are you free yet? There was a bad feeling coming from here so I came to check it. I was worried you might be in danger."
The man chuckled hearing her words and ruffled her hair, causing the girl to pout once again.
" Hahaha~~, No need to be worried nothing can happen to me. Your daddy is the strongest."
Taking the girl in his arms, he walked inside of the room.
" Let's continue our lessons~."
The girl laughed merrily bringing a smile to his face but no one knew whether his smile was real or not.
