'' Who is he? Questioned Hero, Hero could see the shock and fear on his father’s face
'' No, one'' Von told Hero to help me change into new clothes and at that time, Hero found the prison were prisons Felicia's was kept, Arslan changed into a new set of clothes quickly and then the duo walked into a brownish stony castle with little rectangular hole as window, Hero bribed the guards with some coin and then the guard and Hero walked a distance into the curved stony castle with torches of fire on the wall. Soon the guard stood in front of a dark prison cell with iron bars as door. The guard walks away after concluding his business.
"Hey, Felicia, it’s me, Arslan" the cell was so dark that I could only see an image of a person sited atop a wooden bed.
"I can see you Arslan? 'Arslan , is that really you?, are alright, how have you been? i couldn't see you again because i found out what my father did to your family and I am so sorry you had to see me like this, am so sorry things had turn out this way. How can my family repay for the killings, am sure you do hate me now'' Felicia said to Arslan with sadness in her eyes''
"No, Felicia, i don't hate you and am fine. If you may, please I would very much like to know what happened ?"
"Hmmmmmmp" No, you would hate me, if you find out what i know but i have to tell you what i found out''
"Have you heard of the legendary story of the tyranny of the peasant queen".
"Yes",
"oh you knew''.Felicia asked
"My father told me and how your father and Queen Boa Chen was the reasons why Qing and all kingdoms will face a war in the future and that woman was my grandmother who is on a quest to resurrect the demon that will awakened Dracula and I have to stop her before she does that. I need king Oregon's sword to stop her".
"Do you know where the sword is kept". Questions Princess
"I do have knowledge of where to find it but and the key to open the door."
"Do you know how to open the door? Question Felicia
"Not really"
"It is said that the hexagonal key contains King Oregon's vampiry blood passed down to kings from kings in Qing. Though they might have the key but fighting the Dragon serpent queen guarding the Sword is the problem. Kings and princes who have tried had died and never came out. It is said that once an individual or person is able to wield the sword. He becomes the one true kings of all king like Oregon"
"And how did you know this?" Questions Arslan
"My mother told me and my mother has a long history with Vampires and Werewolves. I believe Hero doesn't know why is Father who used to be a high ranking noble was demoted to a rank of a baronet. When Queen Gloria came back bringing the kings sword. The king stabbed her and she was locked up for a few days before her demise. She asked a certain young man who supported her and that was Duke Giovanni's father to look for her son since she did not see him and Giovanni did. He investigated the matter and found out about the bulter. When Gloria came back as a vampire, she spared Giovanni for his efforts and investigation of the whereabouts of her son Adam but when Marcus and boa Chen took the throne. They had Giovanni's father killed for supporting the vampire queen and their title as dukes stripped and reduce to a rank of Baronet to serve as a warning to other nobles. I believe the goddess has fated it this way that the third generation born and Von to support the tyranny.
There is a faction called the Anti-royalist fraction installed by the crown prince to stop my progress to power and I believe it the hooded man Vermilllion that gave the prince power and all he has to create the opposition fractions. Prince Darius finds me as a threat to his ascension to the throne and so I had to train to grow stronger.
King Marcus and the first queen promised the sword Exculibur to king Gregory for his help to ascend the throne. King Gregory had other plans for the future, taken out the powerful Qing kingdom was a big achievement to his plan. Marcus had introduced to king Gregory a dark magicians to help him with children and that was vermillion and i believed Vermillion is quite fishy and also looking for Oregons sword however the sword is kept and guarded and no man can easily take it except he is the one true king of kings. It was due to the help of King Gregory that marcus was able to steal the throne and the first queen died on the naming ceremony of Darius Due your grandmother.
That day the queen and the king and the anti royalist celebrated their victory in the naming ceremony of the child she named Darius , the door swung open and the high priestess of the gods walked him and told the king that the child was given from the God of misfortune and he will bring calamity to Qing.
Darius must be killed Because he was not the chosen king . the king was reluctant to kill Darius and so and he beg for a way out and the priest mentioned of a prophecy, she foretold of a star child of war to be born. That child will accomplish great fit in her destiny and that child will become the queen of Qing and she will marry someone who possessed similar ruler ship as her However that child will come from a peasant. My mother was a maid who ran from the on slaughter going on in the Werewolves kingdom and she was employed as a cook but she was shocked when the moon Goddess fated king Marcus to my mother and she had no choice. The high priest pointed to my mother who was just a maid as the vessel the king will go into to fathom a child that would stop Darius and his misfortune and further added that Marcus my father will be killed by one of his children
Of course these did not go down well at all with the palace due to matters of the past.
A year plus later , she gave birth to me under the protection of the king. I grew and I watched my brother filled with lies and hatred by the anti royalist and soon he was taught dark Mana magic powers, a power that was not taught anywhere and I saw plenty of it at that time, men in black and red hooded Cloak training him in dark mana powers and I believe that this was done for him to battle with me for the throne in the future. I had no time to rest as my mother's fraction with Support of Von Giovanni clan and others began to train me for troubles ahead though Von GIOVANNI clan depreciated drastically and was reduce to the level of the lowest level of nobility which gave rise to bullies.
My brothers power grew so was I, now that I think about it, That dark magic was the same as the man that tried to kill me in the treaty ,his level was almost the same as mine. A magician named Vermilion. Arslan eyes widened
"What did you say? Did you say Vermilion I questioned
"Do you know him? She questioned shockingly
