Belief of Salvation
I haven't cried for last 8 years. I am a blacksmith, working nonstop to fulfill the daily requirements of weapons for the adventurers.
Today the entire City of Astarch of the Kingdom Shambhala is in a festive look due to the first appearance of the seventh son of Count Edward de Heizer. Generally nobody cares about any other sons and daughters of the Count but his seventh son is a divine light for common folks like us.
THE NAME OF THE SEVENTH SON IS EDWARD VAN REINER.
Unlike his other siblings, his name is quite different because his name was given by his late mother. She was the most beloved lady of the entire City. She disappeared soon after the third birthday of the Seventh Prince, Her Excellency's only son.
There is a different reason why common folks call him The Promised Divine Light. He has the purple eye that was only bestowed upon the Royal Family of the whole continent by the Heavens from the Founding Emperor, The Brave King.
Today is the 7th of July of the year 1320. This date marks the Eight Birthday of Prince Edward van Reiner. Now I beg His Excellency to say some words on this occasion.
My brave and hardworking people of Holy Astarch, today is a very glorious day to mark the beginning of a new reign. Prince Reiner is not only my son but also a future candidate for continuing my legacy. He will be taking part in the "Bath of Blood" on the year 1325. This a very happy occasion. So drink till the sunset becomes sunrise and sunrise becomes sunset.
(𝘈𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨 𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵.)
Suddenly the Seventh Prince took the Metia and said,"Oh my people of Astarch, This is your own Prince Reiner. On the joyous occasion of my birthday, I order you all to live more happily. Smile more and let grudges go, accept failures and faults. Elevate yourself and prepare for the harder days to come because the dusk is not too far."
(𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵, 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘧 𝘰𝘧 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘢, 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘧𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘴.

The prince again said,"I will be the next Successor of the Supreme Chain of Command and Finest Sword of Fornmenn!"
At this point the Metia was taken from him by the Count's Chief of Knight. Then he told to the silent and astonished crowd to eat, drink and celebrate like there is no tomorrow. The crowd started cheering, the older and middle aged ones became more hopeful but there was something real bad awaiting for The Seventh Prince because of his taboo words
The Prince Raised his face to the skies and held his right hand pointing the sun, because the dawn is sure to come after the dusk.
The Prophecy that the common folks gossiped secretly for a thousand years was coming to light slowly. The words of the Prince
reached the ears of the common folks of other 8 Kingdoms of the Continent, Drekaheimer. [TO BE CONTINUED...]
