As i was listening to the conversations of the noblemen & women in the room, I noticed all my classmates confused faces including Alice's. 'Did they not get the same skill i got' i thought to my self as i surveyed the room.
'Hey Monolith was i the only one to get the Language Comprehension skill?'
*ding*
~Yes LuLu you where the only one~
The sweet girly voice of the monolith answered me back, no longer as robotic
'Can you at least give it to Alice too? I don't want her getting into a bad situation just because she can understand what's being said around her.'
~ Sure sure… it would be absolutely, just absolutely terrible if that bitc- keum if that little friend of yours found herself in a bad situation~
Monoliths bitter but agreeing words rang in my head again so i turned around to check and see if Alice's facial expression changed or not.
Alice pov
As i was taking in my new surroundings and trying to comprehend that the people dressed in fancy clothes were talking about i heard a new but now familiar ding in my head.
*ding*
~ Due to the wishes of MY sweet Lulu, you have been gifted with Language Comprehension passive skill. So you better put it to good use~
The monoliths annoyed robotic voice sounded in my head.
'My Lulu? Lucius? W-What?'
~ Ya heard me bitch, better be greatful~
I looked up to notice Lucius looking at me with a concerned but expectant look on his face.
'He asked the monolith to give me the same skill as him? How sweet of him. But just what's going on with him and the monolith?'
Then remembering the words of the monolith a complicated look came over her features. Shaking her head to get the thoughts out of her head, she looked up and gave Lucius a smile and thumbs up while mouthing.
"thank you for the gift"
Back to Lucius Pov
Noticing Alice received the same skill i did, I nodded to Alice and thanked the monolith.
~No problem, anything for youuu~
While all this was going on the other 2 lines of students came into the hall from the portal rift behind us. Now we where all standing in rows of 5, around 20 ft from the bottom of the steps. I was in the middle line at the front currently just staring at the thrones before us, eavesdropping on the conversation around us. All the class was dead silent not making a peep.
Suddenly the 2 french doors situated behind the thrones swung open. Out came a towering man around 6'5 dressed in purple and gold robes that gave of a royal aura. He has long blond hair with burning red eyes and a golden radiant crown fashioned with gems on his head. He was so handsome that anyone would cough blood till their face turned green with envy. As soon as he appeared everyone shut up, not a sound could be heard besides slow breathing and their heart beats.
I immediately felt a lump in my throat from his presence, it was hard to breathe like my head was being held under water. My hairs stood on end. The only thought that crossed my mind was
'Strong, If i move, mess up my breathing for a second i'm dead'
My back was cover in cold sweat. i could feel Alice's shaky hands firmly grasp the hem of my shirt. I couldn't look back to check her condition, I felt as soon as i shift my focus away from him i'll die.
Following little behind King Ares was his wife Queen Astraea. She's the most beautiful woman i have ever seen in my life with a perfect hour glass body. Beautiful shiny purple hair and bright crystal blue eyes. She wore similar robes as the King with a white crystal crown with blue studded gems every three inches. She's around 5'11, pretty tall for a woman but as expected of the Queen. Her aura perfectly countered her husband domineering aura but it felt as though her calm soothing aura could go into ruthless killing mode if her switch was flipped.
'Women are scary in no matter what world huh? At least my mothers not here'
As soon as i thought that i felt that a cold chill ran down my spine.
'I guess my mother can still inflict fear into me here too, haaa. scary.'
Following Queen Astraea where 2 boys. The older looking one had blond hair, blue eyes and his fathers looks. He wore royal blue robes that had golden linings and stood around 5'9. The younger looking brother had deep purple hair, almost black with red eyes. He wore red & black robes with golden lining standing around 5'6.
Following behind the brothers were 2 beautiful girls. I'm pretty sure they are twins from how much they look alike. Both had light purple hair with natural blonde highlights. One had bright purple eyes while the other had very dark purple eyes with hits of blue that sparkled within. Both wore attires matching their mothers. They stood around 5'3-5'4 and looked a few years younger than me. They made me think of my twin sisters that i won't be able to see until we defeat the demon king and go home.
'That reminds me didn't the goddess say it was urgent then what was it all about when she said we would have training for 7 months?'
Pulling me out of my thought where the russling of clothes, noticing all the nobles have taken a knee me and my class soon followed. The King and his family stood in front of their seats. I could feel the Kings gaze sweep over me as he surveyed the room before him and his family took their seats.
As soon as they took their seats the Goddess Anjea appeared 5 feet in front of me facing the King and Queen. With a simple nod as greeting she started speaking with a smile
"King Ares, Queen Astraea it's good to see you both in good health. As you know we have brought the hero's to your Kingdom for their training against the demons."
They both nodded and the King greeted
"Goddess Anjea it's a blessing to have you in our presence today and what more is you brought the saviors of the human race with you."
The King said with a smirk on his face. His magnetic deep voice reverberated through out the hall like thunder. I continued to keep my head lowered and Alice's hands gripped my shirt even tighter. i couldn't shake this bad feeling deep within my gut.
