Gray raised his hand. — Ahh yes... I want to ask a question that everyone wants the answer!
Gray's gaze shifted to me, Christian, Havanna, and Kim. — Ahh yes... I want to ask a question that everyone wants the answer…
Me, Christian, Havanna and Kim, looking at Gray, with their big eyes sparkling. — What?!
Gray clears his throat. — About the domain, what is it? — his voice cut through the air.
Laughing, I asked. — Was that it? The domain works in the same way as the King's Force, it is rare to find someone with a domain. Let's look at Arthur's domain. It was complete darkness, this to show that he was chosen to have The Endless of Dim within him. Two opposing forces. It was a controversy, on one hand, he was chosen by the Light, on the other, he had Darkness. He was the one who had to choose, there were other domains, but this one was unusual, he lost his domain when he climbed Mount Everest, he made his choice.
I smiled, — Any more questions...? — looking at the four.
Gray sighed. — I'm not very satisfied, but okay, no questions.
Kim, eating, smiled. — Nothing…
Christian, looking at me with his arms in the back of his head. — I'm calm... For now...
Havanna smiled. — I have no more questions.
— So, let's get to the story… — I said, rubbing my hands.
Eating, Gray elevates his arm. — Wait, I have one more. What exactly happened for him to become a peasant?
Leaning back, I reminisced. — Desperate, after he was thrown from the top of the mountain, he passed out. He was unconscious for days, luckily, he wasn't eaten by any animal. And after he woke up, he tried to climb the mountain for two months, but he couldn't. Without Qi it's almost impossible to climb, worse without equipment, so he gave up. And walked for days, it was at this walking that he saved Merlin, then he found a hidden village surrounded by mountains.
— Hungry and thirsty, the first thing he did was enter the Han's family restaurant, he ate and drank, after that he bought a house with the money he had taken with him from the island, but sometime later, he had financial problems, so Mrs. Han recommended Mr. Tao for him to work, and you already know the rest.
Smiling, I passed my hand through Gray's hair, — Can we now? — looking at the four, they nodded.
I sighed. — The training had already started, one month passed. They were in a very peaceful place, full of Qi and life, on top of one of the mountains in that region, in...
...
In the mystic group of mountains of the Mandarin empire existed a mountain, Shizukesa, known for the always calm environment.
Butler, at the top of the mountain, clad in a black suit, dodging Arthur's blows, punches Arthur in the chest. — I said five months, they were mere words in the wind. True readiness transcends time… You're not ready!
Arthur, in a black tracksuit, was thrown away by the impact. Coughing in the ground, he sighed. — I know...
Approaching him, Butler continued. — Like everyone who seeks the Supreme Power, you spent your whole life learning ways to win, but you never accepted defeat, you never learned from defeat. — he tried to deliver a kick to Arthur's face.
The hero, narrowly dodging, tried to punch Butler. "I nearly lost my head..."
Butler grabbed Arthur's fist, then released a tempest of punches directed to Arthur's face. — Free your mind, the real battle is fought within yourself…
— Who are you? Say it! — with his hand blood-soaked, he asked.
Alfred, in Arthur's mind. "Alert! Alert! Warning! Warning Critical Hit Incoming!" his warning echoed in Arthur's mind.
Receiving a hand full of blows, Arthur pushed Butler away with both feet, falling to the ground with his face contorted, "Alfred, slowly regenerate…" he mused
Alfred, in Arthur's mind. "Understood, boss."
Butler, surrounding Arthur, released a subtle smirk. — You didn't answer me, who are you... — he advanced.
....
As Arthur fought against himself, the throne room of the amazons drowned in a sea of despair and indignation.
Scribes, royal guards, cup maids and other servants doing their work, indignantly murmuring to themselves as they listen to the queen's conversation. — How absurd! We cannot hand over the kingdom to a man! Much less to someone who brought us all this destruction.
Andromeda, resplendent in royal robes and a golden crown, pondered with her hand on her chin. Her brunet loose hair framed a thoughtful expression. "What does she want exactly…?" the queen analyzed.
With her golden braided hair falling over her blue dress, Alexia, stepped forward. — I think it will be the best way to calm him down.
Cassilda, military uniform taut, stood by the queen's side. Her voice dripped with indignation. — Do you want to make the queen hand over the throne?! But how absurd! Never that a man reigned over the amazons.
Andromeda, thoughtful, sighed. — This is a serious matter, Alexia, very serious. We will think about it, thank you for the suggestion.
Nervous, Alexia squatted. "I think I should've kept my mouth shut…" she mused, — With your approval, my queen… — the queen nodded, and she turned to the exit.
Cassilda crouched towards the queen. — Sovereign, please do not consider this absurd! — she roared.
The queen's sigh carrying the weight of her long years of depression, her tired gaze shifted to Odyssey. — Do you think it has something to do with the marriage issue?
Odyssey, blue-suited and ponytailed, met the queen's eyes. — It's possible, I think she... — she sighed. — She's interested in him...
The general jumped, — WHAT???!!!! — roaring, she looked at Odyssey.
Andromeda sighed, her hand passing through her face. — This child! What is she thinking?! This can't happen, they are practically brothers... — her face was contorted in disgust.
Cassilda caught in the crossfire, chuckled. — I told you, Odyssey, you spoiled that kid too much…
Queen Andromeda and Odyssey looking menacingly at Cassilda, silenced her with their glares.
Cassilda looking away, nervous. — Pardon, your majesty…
...
In the palace library, Alexia scoured Emperor King Pendragon's ancient book. "Where is it…" she muttered.
Selena, bored in her laboratory uniform, snapped. — Keep quiet!
Excitedly, — HA-AH! — Alexia placed the book in the middle of the table. — It's here! I found it...
Mayara, Allana and Selena confused, looking at the book with their eyebrows raised. — What did you find?
Minutes later…
Allana, looking at Alexia, nervously. — So, you're telling me that my brother will be the most wanted man in the world? Isn't having that kind of power dangerous?! — her eyes sparkled with tears.
Alexia rolling her eyes, hissed. — He can handle any enemy!
Selena, looking at Alexia, giggled with nostalgia. — I agree.
Mayara crossed her arms, sighing. — Don't let your obsession over him deceive you! Remember that Emperor Pendragon, even with that power, was almost assassinated several times? He even admitted that he had some enemies stronger than him in terms of intelligence and cunning. Being physically strong is not enough, you twerp!
...
Meanwhile in the Greek empire, in the divine palace, located in the province of the gods.
Aphrodite Olympus, a divine princess, in a white linen dress, wavy golden hair, entered the harem, placing her arrogant gaze upon Zeus's concubines. — Who's going to sleep with father today?
A concubine, in a golden linen dress, lying down, eating grapes with a group of princesses. — No one, darling…
Annoyed, Aphrodite crossed her arms. — I'm going to sleep with him today, darling... — she growled, leaning close to the concubine's ear.
In a white linen dress, brunet hair down, Calliope Olympus, stood up fiercely. — Who do you think you are, Aphrodite? I'm going!
Princesses Aphrodite, Calliope, Aglaia, Ersa, Pandia, Eratus, Thalia, Irene and Eunomia arguing.
Athena Olympus, the great goddess and divine princess, in a golden armor, hovered in. Releasing her aura, all of them bowed down. — What is the meaning of this noise?!
Everyone in the harem, crouched down, nervous as they felt Athena's gaze pressing down upon them. — Sorry, sister Athena...
Dice Olympus, next to Athena, annoyed. — Where have you seen daughters fighting to sleep with their own father?! — she passed her hand over her face. — And you're the worst of all, Aphrodite, you slept with our brothers, and if that wasn't enough, now you're seducing our father... Anyway, he won't stay with any of you... — she squeaked.
Gazing at every single one of them, Athena mused. "Despicable..."
All the princesses and concubines exchanging glances of indignation, murmured. — What do you mean?! Why?! — they gasped.
Athena, with no facial expression, exclaimed. — He wants to marry Hera II! She will return, so get ready because she will be our queen!
Aphrodite, annoyed, grunted. — Ahh!! Is he in love?! — muttering, she vanished from the room leaving a black dust.
Looking at their sisters from top to bottom, Athena and Dice left the harem.
