"The seventh Prince of Festo Kingdom is dead!"
"Haha, it's long overdue that cripple has long since overstayed his welcome"
"Tsk… and I was hoping to marry my daughter of to that cripple, since he would die either ways my daughter will be free, but most importantly I would have formed a relationship with the Festo kingdom, I would achieve my goal and perhaps my family's reputation will rise because of this it's a win-win"
"Tsk… just why would you have to die so fast, I was just this close to achieving my goal" a young man around his late fifties, frowned as he received the news, as he was the head of a prominent family. The Destro Family.
Basically every single family in the Festo Kingdom that held significant power heard of this, some rejoiced, some clearly not happy and some remaining indifferent like the matter didn't concern them at all.
In the mercenary hall of the Festo Kingdom, this was what everyone pretty much talked about including adventures, it was announced by the royal family the morning of that very day.
Everyone loved this type of news or events, as it's adds a minute difference like a spice into their monotonous life.
As all this took place it, it hasn't been even up to an hour since the news was announced yet it had already created a storm, even several other kingdoms heard of this via their spies planted into the Festo Kingdom.
However no one really reacted in a noticeable way this is because the said seventh Prince is a cripple, a symbole of disgrace that tanished the Festo's Kingdom reputation since it's inception.
However while a commotion speard out, it was a totally different in the kingdoms headquarters, the royal palace.
***
"Davi! Don't go how can you leave us?" Rita the fifth princess and Davi's younger sister cried, weeping tears as she cried upon the dead body of her beloved brother.
Sob, Sob, sob!
"Big Brother, how could you leave me? Leave us? How am I supposed to take over your position as the seventh prince?" Russell the Eighth prince and Davi's immediate younger brother cried, as he stood up gazing softly at the dead body of his beloved brother.
Just then…
The door slammed open and the king came in with two women by his side, one to the left and the other to the right.
They both where the first and second queen if the Festo Kingdom, clearly happy over the misfortune that happened to the third and last queen of Festo Kingdom.
As soon as her gaze landed on the King, the third queen lunged at him in anger clearly infuriated as if she was fully prepared to kill the king with her own two hands.
Sadly, reality was not so kind…
Pa!
A resounding slap landed on the face of the third queen, seeing this sight both the first and second queen where estatic, it literally seemed like they where sent into heaven.
The have always felt threatened of the third queen because the king doted upon her because of her beauty, coupled with her amazing magical talent, it wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that she was the most beautiful in all the entire kingdom, and definitely amongst the top 100 experts of the Festo Kingdom.
For the king to do this to his favorite, clearly showed his dissatisfaction. He was livid more so that his woman dared to raise her fist against him.
"Where is his respect?"
"As a husband and even more so as the king!" He thought.
Her actions had clearly crossed his bottom line, resulting in the sene that played out previously.
"Lionheart F. Vermillion, I Jane L. Vermillion shall remember this and till my death you will never be forgiven" The third queen Jane turned, completely ignoring his existence, she caressed her son's dead body In a loving and pained manner.
{AN: In case you are wondering what the F. Stands for it represents Festo, and L represents Lionheart}
"Davi my beloved son, don't live mother" Said Jane, she completely broke down as she wept profusely.
She didn't even possess the presence of a queen but rather a mother and a loving one at that.
Sigh!
As the King watched the display of affection he seemed to be in regret, he lost his anger and now his relationship with his most beloved was ruined.
The death of this son, his own blood didn't even face him much, he was rather happy secretly at least a thorn of shame has finally been purged from his name.
He felt that he could finally regain his lost face as being the only king since the conception of the Festo Kingdom too give birth to a cripple.
Also a hint of regret flashed across his eyes, he knew his son would die but was impatient and only hastened the process resulting in burning hatred from his most beloved wife.
Sigh
"I shouldn't have prevented the Radiant Mage from seeing that cripple that way I would have indeed removed all possible link between me and his death also while not harming our relationship"
Sigh.
"Patience… I need to work on it, if I want to prevent further problems in this kingdom" King Lionheart made a mental note as he drifted away watching the crippled body of his dead son.
***
Just as all this was going on, something otherworldly was happening within the soul of Li Kai!
"Where am I?" Li Kai thought.
"What the fuck I happing to me?"
"Who is that entity?"
"What is a system?"
"But most importantly where in the damn world am I? I barely understand a damn thing that is going on!!!"
"Ahhh" Xi Tian thought as he was extremely shocked, confused in short he was totally lost.
Back in the endless cosmos, just when he thought that he had a shot at surviving and was about to devour what he thought to be a soul, he was been devoured instead or rather bound to some mysterious entity.
None of this that was happening was under his control, in addition, the system which the entity spoke of, he has never heard of a system much less know what it means.
Moreover, just when he was about to ask questions back to what ever entity that was communicating with him via soul, his soul healed rapidly and suddenly vanished from cosmos, it was all to fast to even understand what was happening.
Li Kai had so many questions and yet each of them remained unanswered, just as he was pondering over what was really happening…
Like a bolt, information poured into his mind…
"Memories… these are memories but it's clearly someone else's… Davi L. Vermillion, sigh you must have lived a painful life" Li Kai thought as he watched the life of another flash before his eyes.
Subconsciously he had begun to have feeling that he never new he had. As someone who was an orphan back in the world of forsaken saints, he was completely detached to the things of the world.
But as of this moment, things he never thought he would obtain bonds of life, of blood, precious friendship and love suddenly tied him.
Li Kai felt pain, pain for leaving his family, despite being crippled he longed to be with them be it one more day.
Just like lighting, Xi Tian suddenly came to a realization Davi L. Vermillion was clearly someone else at the same time he was him. The feelings he felt was all to real to be a coincidence.
"Could I have transmigrated?" Li Kai thought.
"No! Different not that is a stuff of legends how could I possibly… but it's all to surreal, could I possibly have transmigrated?" He thought as he was stuck between belief and disbelief.
"Could it be related to that mysterious entity? Ahhh! There is just so much that I don't know. What even is happening to me?" Li Kai thought.
At that point, he could hear faint sobs, it pained him deeply like he could not bear to hear those sobs.
Not long after, a strong will materialized in his thoughts, without needing to think he knew it was the real Davi L Vermillion.
Davi stared at Li Kai, Li Kai equally reciprocated. Just then Davi spoke.
"I don't know who you are I also don't have much time hear as am already dead. I have a deep unyielding will to depart from the world. Alas… it's not up to my desition" Davi said.
"I have only one wish… please take care of them it's the list you could do for taking my body" Davi said one last time his will suddenly dispersed fusing completely to Li Kai's.
"What a strong will… it could even materialize in my thoughts, I am not able to achieve such. Just what world did I come into? I really am curious" Li Kai thought.
But now without a doubt he had confirmed one thing: He had been transmigrated!
***
Back in the royal palace, Jane the Third queen was sobbing with Rita and Russell by her side as they consoled her.
The king had already departed and in the room all that echoed where sobs of sorrowful mother.
Just then, the dead body moved his finger Rita who was holding his arms saw this and was freaked out like she had seen a goast.
"Mum… D.. Da.. Davi just moved, I clearly saw it am not blind I clearly saw it" Rita stuttered as if thinking her mother won't believe her.
Jane and Russell both looked at her as if she had gone mad. Just as Jane was about to cry even more that her daughter has now gone insane due to Davi's death.
Davi's hand twitched ones more clearly seen by all three of them the where atsounded.
Jane immediately became overwhelmed with joy as she stood up from the floor and gently shook Davi's body.
She felt like it was all too surreal.
"Davi, Davi wake up, mother is worried," Jane said softly.
Just then, The dead body of Davi said…
"Mum it's okay… I was just asleep" he said smiling, lying through his teeth.
"What!!!" All four of them screamed in the room, Davi screamed inwardly.
While the three of them where surprised as to how Davi mysteriously came back from the dead.
Li Kai or Davi, was clearly shocked. "How can an expert, fully detached from the world, call someone he has never seen before Mum?" He thought.
"Clearly there is no free meal in this world, it is all give and take. The real Davi really loves his family for his will to even influence me this much, sigh there really is nothing I can do…"
"And I kind of like this feeling… I finally have a family, a mother even if I am not your really son, I will forever cherish this feeling. It is not like the real Davi will allow me not to" Li Kai sighed as he thought inwardly.
"My son is alive! Haha he isn't dead great this is great news haha" Mary Jane laughed happily echoing throughout the room and beyond shocking the guards as well.
The loud voice from his mother snapped Davi/Li Kai back to reality and just as he was about to look at the woman he called his mother.
Horror crept onto his face as he realized a shocking reality… even without him knowing he blurted out.
"Am I blind?!!!"
