There are three Empires in Achia, The Empire of the Sea Umiko, The Empire of Peace and Harmony Ninnity and The Empire of Heroes Malvest. Niea is an Independent Principality and is not a part of any Empire, All the Empires are allies with each other and Niea. Achia is considered to be the friendliest and no war continent.
The Queen explained the situation to Sim and told him the solution. Sim picks the second way to save Miu, Aries and Aria and fortunately Aria accepts the proposal.
After Queen Erika explains everything to me, she says “Sim, you are not combat ready”. I replied “If it’s hand to hand combat, I am strong because as a Police Officer I have been trained by my Captain and Master”. Aria looks at me with suspicious eyes as she says “liar you’re not an adventurer”. I replied “I didn’t want to lie but Achians hate the World Government, that is why I lied”. She replied “We introduced ourselves from birth to current title but you don’t trust us completely...”. Aria gets angry The Queen breaks the mood as she says “If Frost knew you work for the World Government, this conversation would never happen you know what I mean Aria”. Aria’s anger settled but her mood didn’t change. I grabbed Aria by her shoulders looked directly in her eyes and said “I’ll make it up to you, I promise and I’m sorry it had to be that way, I will never lie to you ever again”.
It then occurred to me that I grabbed Aria on impulse and she is a little to close and I am looking directly in her eyes, I can smell the shampoo and perfume she uses. Her eyes are alluring and her face is so captivating. I slowly released my hands. God my heart started beating fast.
“I’m sorry I startled you” is what I said, she replied “That’s a promise” and smiled. I am glad she is no longer angry with me. Aria gets up and leaves the room. My heart is still beating like crazy.
“Shall we get back at how weak you are”. I forgot Queen Erika is also here “You are their Husband, don’t ever lie to them. A single lie is enough to question all truths”. Queen Erika is right if it wasn’t for me, they would be living their lives happily without depending on someone like me. “How can I get strong, no matter how hard it is I can endure any training. Please train me Queen Erika” I stood up and bowed “Please”. Queen Erika stood up and replied “Raise your head” and I raised stood straight. “NO! I can’t train you; I am a Magician and your magic is sealed. Aria will teach you swordsmanship, you will be able to survive against Middle-Class warriors with swordsmanship but fighting the Higher-Class warriors is going to be difficult. An empty sword no matter how strong cannot cut Magic.
Warriors of the Higher-Class fight with different styles. They use Magic, Illusions, Summoned Beasts, Ninjitsu, Magic Engineering (People infuse magic in objects of their choice and use them in battles) many styles that I may not know. To fight them you will need magic, since your magic is sealed you will need an alternate technique to fight and that alternate technique is “Ki”.
This fighting style belongs to The Hero, All the living possesses Ki, it can be defined as circulating life force or spiritual energy. I will teach you how you can control Ki”.
“Queen Erica, your father the hero taught you how to use Ki” is what I asked. The Queen got a little depressed and said “No, when I was born Father had already passed away”. I was regretting that I asked this, so I apologized.
Someone knocks the door and the Queen Erika gives permission to enter it turns out to be Aria. “The valuables your Majesty requested have arrived” she said. The Queen starts walking and we follow her and we arrive at a place called the training grounds. We enter the training grounds and Aria brings me some clothes that are pure white, a sword, transparent gloves and a heavy helmet.
“Am I supposed to wear these?” is what I asked “If you don’t want to die, I do recommend you to wear them”. I wore the clothes and picked the helmet in my hand and said “So we are training here” Queen Erica said “If you trained here it would take years to reach the required level and I am not having that much time”
“So where are we exactly training?” is what I asked
Queen Erika walks a little forward and starts casting
Presence of The Queen “NEXUS Parallel …... Dilation Dimension”
as she casted the spell a small black ball started originating in front of her. She moves her right hand beneath the black ball so as the ball comes directly in the center of her palm, she closes her fingers and catches the black ball then she casts
“Time Restrained”
As soon as she casts the complete spell color slowly started to fade away from their surrounding and they get restrained not able to move. The space around them shatters into pieces and they are now in an uninhabited rocky plain where the Sun always sets as time flows slowly.
Sim was quite shocked by this fact “this is where you will be training” Queen Erika said. The spell shocked me great and I was trying my best to get back to reality. Queen Erika said “Time flow here is different from the outside world, a week here is like a day in the Real World, It is one of my original spells.”
Warriors are classified into 3 types Beginner, Middle and Higher Class. Individuals above the higher class are either Nobles or Knights with at least the title of Vice Commander.
The King, Queen, Prince, Princess and her Escorts belong to Class Royalty they all have crests on their hand and hence are blessed with greater Magic.
