In the capital ..
At the garden Duke Inkstone is sitting in front of a man with cold face. A very chilling aura emitting from his body. By the aura you can say it's the aura of a person who is of high authority. He is the current king of the Netheria Kingdom Warenstill Roadsmith III.
This 5000 years old Netheria empire run according his rule. But currently he is in awkward situation."Mikail what are you thinking Suddenly you come told me that you want to step down from the commander of north border.
is this a joke ?"
"Your majesty I am earl now and I have no right to be a commander." duke told the king innocently.
"You bas***d, you came to find me for your own demotion ."
The king cursed him angrily if any other high ranking official was here they will be dumbstruck by this.
But duke didn't react at all like its common.
Duke and the king were childhood friends, duke also help the king to win the crown war.
And the anger of the king is justified because when crown prince appeal in the court for demotion ,Duke himself came to the king for his demotion.
Seeing the duke is not answering ,
"Sigh ,What do you want?"
The king asked tiredly with hand in his forehead.
"My grandson mental energy is not good. I am afraid his future cultivation won't be up to the expectation. So i want to 'borrow' a Bodhi fruit from your treasury ."
The duke replied pitifully. If Ron were here he will doubt his life.
King also knows duke is faking.
"you ..You.."
King looked duke face angrily, like he will eat him without cooking.
"You bastard, there is only 2 Bodhi fruit in the whole kingdom. If 9th rank mage eat it he can breakthrough directly to the void relam it can even help the late stage void rank to step in the semi divine rank.
Do you want me give you it to your rank one grandson."
king is really speechless by duke demand.
" My friend ,my daughter has died now my grandson will also die because of old age. I have to go the Elf kingdom for Bodhi fruit. I am sorry I cant guard the border."
Duke pretending to be heartbroken grandfather who is really cant look his grandson dying.
The king look at him speechlessly if the look can kill duke would have died 100 times no 1000 times.
King also knows that duke will not let this opportunity sleeps by. Although In Milia's death crown directly is not involved but he can't refuse the responsibility.
"
Sigh..
Ok ,stop your weeping. I can tell you are pretending ."
"Thanks My king." The duke smiled at the king winningly.
Then the king took the duke in the treasure house and unwillingly hand over a curved box. The duke hurriedly pocketed it as if king will took it back.
Seeing duke behavior the king shakes his head.
when They are returning to chat they found that in the garden a beautiful lady is sitting there with her face covered by vail . By looking at her figure one can tell she is very beautiful. Seeing that duke and king give her a salute with full of respect.
"Mother" X 2
She is the previous queen, mother of the current king a mid stage semi divine rank mage and she is the water dragon that Albert inform Ron previously.
Though his husband died 120 years ago she is still alive because dragons lifespan is very high . She can live another 400 years or so. Her appearance is of late thirties.
"Ok sit down both of you ."she told them without any emotion. One can't tell if she is happy or sad.
Then they sit there.
"Mother why are you here if you need anything you could inform me," the king asked nervously because all the time she will stay in her lair leave occasionally. Infact in past 20 years she come out today.
Though she was a contacted beast of his father she isn't bound by any heir token she can leave the kingdom any time she wants. She still live in the kingdom because she is current kings biological mother.
She did not answer the question but instead looked at the duke.
" Mikail, What is the profession Ronald want to take ?"
Duke quite surprise by her question because how can she knows his grandson name.
But he replied respectfully.
"He wants to become a magic swordsman ."
King also surprised by his answer but the lady didn't look surprise at all. Now king understand why Mikail wanted The Bodhi fruit so much.
Then to the surprise of the two, she took out a purple fruit which is covered with scale and give it to the duke, who is speechless due to her action.
The most surprised person is the king because he knows about the fruit .
"Give it to him it will purify his blood muscle and bone." she told the duke about the fruit.
Seeing that country bumkin look the king couldn't help but curse the duke in his mind and tell him enviously-
"It is a blood dragon fruit. Its a treasure of the dragons clan .When an old dragon die normally in old age, then the blood dragon tree sprout out from their corpse. Only one fruit will bear in the tree . Dragons squash the fruit in hot water and bath the rank 4 young dragons. It will help them to purify the blood muscle and tendons. Its is same or not even more precious treasure then the bodhi fruit. I also took one when i was rank 4. It helps me in the path of my body cultivation greatly and it did help me master the body cultivation technique easily."
He is quite surprised because his mother didn't give one to the crown prince when he was child but gave one to the Ronald. But he didn't tell anything because its his mother processions. She can give anyone she wants .
She didn't give any time to them think ,
" I have already called Lumias and his wife let him come here then we will talk .''
It become quite awkward because Lumias Roadsmith is the crown prince, the relations between duke and crown prince is not quite right after engagements.
But they didn't say anything.
An hour of silence come to an end....
The crown prince come with a beautiful lady ..
Crown prince look at the age of 40 with a refined face . The lady by his side looks like a 25 years old. But her main attractive side is her long ocean blue hair. Nobility is oozing out her body.

"Grandmother this.."
But he didn't have the time to finish his sentence pressure blew him to the nearest wall.
