After driving for seven days, they reached the Imperial Capital, on the night of the seventh day of their journey. The past week just passed through without remarkable events and was uncomfortably smooth. They passed through many villages, cities and evergreen forests with full of wild life and so-and-so.
To Karl, those days were very much boring yet interesting. Which means boring in many ways while fascinating in some ways.
On the way, he encouraged Rowanna to cultivate… and ahem they did so many things together, including nighttime activities, whenever the carriage entered to a city to let the workers get some rest. Every time the carriage stops in a city, he grabs Rowanna, and disappears to the city. And Rowanna was quite delightful to get wet in her master's shower of love, and she thought it would be very much helpful for her to get a breakthrough. Yeah, so she thought, right?
On the way, he took the chance to get additional information on the Royal city, Royal family and other nobles contacting the universal library. The librarian, Marina, was very much enthusiastic, recommending so many books for him to read. This side of her, made Karl amazed. She was constantly saying," Hey, get this too, it's about the history of the Royal family, There are so many romie-Juliet type stories in the one I just gave you a moment ago, Ah this is good too… blah blah"
Finally to stop her blabbering mouth, he got no other choice apart from making her angry. So he simply said," You shitty slut, just get your ugly ass away from me." And it's done.
According to the information he got from the books, The imperial city had five divisions and each division's affairs were being managed by four powerful clans along with the Clan Sargeer. These clans directly got their orders from the Emperor himself, which means the real one making the deal here is the Royal Clan, clan Sargeer.
Clan Marlott managed the North division, along with the north gate to the Imperial Capital. The Royal Hospital, which was very much exclusive to the nobles. And also, this clan managed the whole Empire's health system.
The Royal Academy was located in the South Division and along with the south gate, the entire division was managed by, Clan Arlogha, and they were the people who managed the whole Empire's education system.
Clan Olion, who guarded the west gate of the imperial capital, along with the entire Kingdom of Light's border, managed defense and security in the royal capital and also offense. It was rumored that, the clansmen in the olion clan, always tried to kill each other in order to become strong. This was enough to remind the world, that they were the devils of the Sargeer Emperor.
And finally, Clan Neitherhood, who guarded the east gate of the Imperial Capital, and also the kingdom's economy.
And in the middle of the city, was the division of the Imperial family. Under the leadership of the Emperor Wongoner Sargeer, who had a cultivation of the peak of Mark Condensation realm, he had been in the top of the world. It was not wrong to say, he was guiding the entire world.
And yeah, he had a queen, whose beauty rumored to be divine and had also a formidable strength, named Yalenna Arlogha. Being the Matriarch of the Arlogha Clan, Karl was pretty much sure about her formidable knowledge, strength and also the beauty. Cough cough.
And Karl never got into the city using the east gate that his family was guarding but the gate of south, of course it's Yalenna's gate.
As he planned to find the elder who were also Karl's mother's sister, stepmother, he didn't want to go through the east gate. He knew the news of he being escaped and disappeared from the 'prison' would reach to his uncle's ears soon. But he wanted to make some preparations beforehand in order to take his uncle down.
" He-he Uncle, here I am. Let's play a game of cat and mouse."
Destroying one's life? His father was an expert of it. And being his son, of course, how can he abandon his father's inheritance? This was exclusive for him.
Poor Euger was waiting for the cat to play with him.
' Now, I should find that lady. According to previous Karl's memories she, almost all the time, spent her time in the library reading… yeah, I see there it is. '
Karl, hid Rowanna in a black dress and put on the clothe's hood covering her face, as he did. Then they passed through the guards of the Arlogha family, which seemed to be effortless.
" Don't underestimate them, master, I'm sure they have just started to observe us silently. Be vigilant and careful what you say and do" Rowanna warned.
" What? Why do they have to do so?" Karl exclaimed.
" To keep peace. I'm sure you have also observed it, right?"
" Observed what?"
" Think, master, how many guards were there at the south gate?"
" Hmm... about 7 guards. What seven guards? For a gate to the Imperial Capital? There should at least up to 50 guards, excluding the hidden archers!… Ohhh, so they are observing secretly, huh? I'm sure there are more assassins around here" Karl realized how critical the situation was.
"Shit, previous Karl, you didn't even know that, huh, unbelievable"
Wearing hoods in black didn't arise more suspicion in the whole Imperial Capital. The reason for this was the Imperial Capital being a place of cold wars which encouraged betraying and cruelty, forcing many to hide their real appearance. Yeah, there were riches but also bitches and sons of bitches.
So he decided to continue his journey through the library but not to contact his stepmother, Erena Neitherhood.
" Well, I guess we should find her first and should at least wait for a day." Karl sighed and continued his journey through dusty books and all sorts of things. 'Fuck, I hate libraries. This makes impossible to find my stepma'
At first he decided not to use spiritual sense, because of the eyes who were tailing him, but soon they understood it was impossible.
The library had several hundreds of stories, with many reading rooms and tables around. Without spiritual sense, they understood, it would take at least two days to find her. They didn't have more than two hours, before the hunters of his clan moved. So he decided to use spiritual sense.
He closed his eyes and activated spiritual sense. His all five senses began to spread through the whole building. He began to hear every single word people were talking and every single action of theirs.
After a few minutes, he discovered her location. " Rowanna, she is on the 97th story. We are parting at the 45th story. And use the elevator and come down to the basement and wait for me here" Karl informed Rowanna using telepathy.
Rowanna startled when she first heard his voice in her mind and then became serious and then also used telepathy.
" Yes master as you wish"
" You are a quick learner aren't you?" Karl chuckled.
The elevator, was made of special material which was very much light but tough. It allowed people to go up to 98th level, which Karl noticed by looking at the control panel.
' I wonder what mysteries are there in the 99 and the 100th levels, well, I will find it out soon'
"' The Eternity Ore, which has almost an eternal amount of power, is the source for this elevator to work, look there master, it is adorable...."
Karl looked at the enormous blue ore, which emanated an ancient aura, boasting about the amount of power it had to the onlookers. But what the hell, it wasn't cute. He would rather spit blood than call it cute.
Confused, Karl asked," Hey, are you in your right mind, as there should be no sane person to see that big dumbass rock cute right?"
"Please don't blame it master, can't you see it's crying, now"
"Okay enough of this shit, now get into that fucking elevator" he pushed Rowanna inside and hit 97 and 45 and the elevator door closed.
" It was asking help from me, master, couldn't you see that?"
" Saw what? I only saw a big dumb rock, as I said before!"
" So, only I could see her? Yeah, that makes sense. Master I saw a cute little girl, inside the rock, she had white hair and white skin and was wearing a little blue dress and she continuously asked for help from me" Rowanna described.
" Is that so, hmm, let me think…"
" Hey Marina!" He yelled inwardly.
"Son of a bitch, who do you think you are to say I'm a slut, huh?"
" Well, now, you yourself said it!"
" You! Bastard! No, I can't do this. I should retire. I'm enough with this shit."
" Hey, don't do that, right? It was just to shut your mouth."
" So what? Because it was enough for you to hear, should I shut my mouth? You bastard."
'Now she is talking like my past mom…',
After an 8-minute argument, he could make her calm, by begging forgiveness from her, which she instantly granted.
" So, what is it, you want to know about?" She asked.
" What is an Eternity Ore?" Karl asked.
" You saw it somewhere?"
" It doesn't matter, just tell me what is it?"
" Well…."
