New Life as the Kingdom's Youngest Son

After the incident that night the morning of Cedric, Dawnbreaker and the paladin had a meeting at the palace.

When the paladin entered the room Credric and Dawnbreaker stood and bowed their heads, and when he sat down they both sat down.

"so last night, so far what have we got?, what has that got to do with the assault on the Ravenswood residence ?" ask Dawnbreaker.

The paladin nodded his head "there is a possibility that this was a counterattack after the investigation at the Viscount residence, the Viscount was the perpetrator of the assault and the traitor" Credric nodded his head "'I've guessed it's too suspicious"'

Dawnbreaker "who was the attacker?, was he arrested" the paladin shakes his head "the only attacker we have is a high undead... It might be possible to enter the undead elder category, he declared himself not the only enemy of the sword of vengeance... But we can't confirm it yet"

"sword retaliation?, from the attack back then?, but who can summon the high undead he must be a high-level necromacer" Credric said "what in the kingdom is the necromancer exposed ?" ask the paladin.

"as you know our country is very much about dark magic, and every individual who has dark magic is definitely on the lookout, and none of them have the ability to summon such a powerful undead" Credric replied seriously.

"to be honest I will let the necromancer for now, he is definitely not the enemy even his undead did not attack me, and with the assault on the Viscount residence we know the reason for the assault on the Ravenswood residence" the word paladin caught the attention of Dawnbreaker and Credric.

"can you please tell us the reason ?" dawnbreaker asked curiously, "from his diary and notes he did not like the Ravenswood family, he hated them because they were competing in their trade, both of them, and hearing that their first daughter had a strong magic talent made her even more angry and envious, and she wanted to kill the first daughter of the Ravenswood family, that's what we've gotten so far"

Dawnbreaker looked on with a face of disdain and emotion "what kind of disgusting selfish excuse is that, he committed the massacre just out of envy ?!" the paladin nodded "as well as he who was carrying out the assassination attempt on Aldric in the area of the city at that time" Credric's face became slightly irritated but he suppressed it "what... The reason"

"here in say it.... Bored?, he wanted to use his abyss power yet it did not go well because the woman named Lilithra rebuked him for this" Dawnbreaker's face instantly became annoyed when she heard Lilithra's name "that woman.... Well... This must always be the case"

The paladin tilted his head "do you know who he is ?" Dawnbreaker nodded "yes he is one of the Stygian Scots and he is the 3rd cardinal of the other 5 cardinals" the paladin thought briefly.

In his mind he had heard of them but had not met or studied their strength he still lacked experience, he hoped that he would not meet with the Stygian Scotika in the near future, his training was not finished yet

"but how could Lilithra enter the second fortress?, if there were abyss creatures who entered it all the guards would know" asked Dawnbreaker "he must have entered along with the Viscount, 3 months ago the Viscount went to trade in the land of Altopia to trade I am sure by the time he returned to this land he met and made a deal with Lilithra forced or not he remained guilty of the life he took"

They continued their conversation from a serious problem to a lighter one,especially the paladin who seems to try to show a friendly atmosphere and try to recognize his interlocutors charisma is very good no wonder he is a paladin.

Meanwhile Aldric saw that the wajtu of the lantern had been exhausted, he immediately called back the knight, when called the knight in a kneeling position with his sword under his face.

"master.... Excuse me.... L'm.... Failed it..." Aldric was a little confused "what do you mean?, you did it well, I just wanted to check if you're okay ?" the knight looked at the old man with a look of admiration.

"you.... No. gabe.... Angry ?" Aldric shakes his head "why should I be angry?, you did it he died even though it was not you who killed him" the knight surprised "master !.... How the... Thou... Could... Know ?" from the beginning Aldric never told him he saw everything through a drone.

"adadeh... But if I may know why you did not attack the paladin with that fellow?, I understand I ordered you to attack the one in the Viscount residence only but still, I understand, you also killed yourself instead" the knight nodded "he... Is... Her hero... Generational... Newest... Patroness... The humans... So. he... Also... Protecting... Thou... L am... No. gabe... Wanting... Because it's.."

Aldric nodded "pahlawanyah.... Yes it was back and good work last night" the knight turned into a black kabit and went back inside the lantern.

Meanwhile Aldric lay on his bed and did a search on the system with the hero keyword and it immediately showed a document.

The content is, heroes are a group of 4-5 people who have extraordinary powers, they are individuals chosen directly by the god Victoria for her talents and by the goddess Eda for her nature, however, usually every hero has shortcomings that will usually be closed by other team members.

They were the protectors of humans, demons, and other mixed races of the abyss, they appeared from generation to generation, usually a descendant of a hero would become a hero in the next generation, he said, the determination of the next generation is unclear, sometimes there are two generations of heroes in one period, they are usually equipped with great powers and artifacts.

Aldric also realized that the group of heroes had arrived and dwelt in his country... Since when?, though ?, from the documents he read they should have had the right to enter a country without permission but the fact that he was not summoned by his father or brother to welcome them made Aldric suspicious... Did they suspect him of being the one who sent the undead?, or had their trust been lost to him ?.

This theory makes Aldric a little nervous, he then dated looking in the market goods that might help him if the theory is right, because if their trust had been lost just waiting for something to happen and he would be blamed for this, he found a disposable teleportation plaque, it would definitely be useful to run away.

He bought two because he needed two to teleport, the platform was very thin like paper, and transparent except for the magic circle on it, he saw instructions how to use it, so he wanted to do a test.

But no matter how many times he tried he still failed until half an hour there was no result, he again called the knight and asked why he failed.

The knight then explained a magic item mechanism that there are two, Manaflux Objects and Aetheric Relics.

Manaflux Objects are magic items that require mana from the user to act as a diverter like a magic wand in general whose job is to focus and shoot better shots.

And there are Aetheric Relics where magic items do not require mana from their users because they store and produce their own mana, like Aldric's soul lantern, however, they are very rare and usually store a little energy which can only be used once or twice before it runs out and must wait for refills.

And the last is the combined technique of Mana Synergy where the magic goods Aetheric Relics but using the technique of Manaflux Objects strengthen the sibir objects with magic itself in the gabbed with which stored in the in the magic goods Aetheric Relics.

After hearing the long explanation because the knight did not have a good jaw condition even though it did not look Aldric understood and returned to the market trying to find Aetheric Relics magic items that can make him teleport.

He found it, just like the platform but with a small crystal blue shape, he bought two but because of the expensive price Aldric could not do the test, so he could not do the test, so he planned to go to the city area to put his teleport place. The knight went back inside the lantern as Aldric went outside his room towards the lower floor.

When he was about to go down the stairs he was greeted by someone, it was the paladin hero of the new generation "excuse me... Introduce my name Mara" he said and was about to shake hands but Aldric quickly lowered his head, because he knew the celestial position was above the nobility but the hero was above the celestial so he quickly bowed his head "greet me my name Aldric" Aldric replied.

Mara pulled her half-groomed hand to shake "s-greet.... Um... How are you ?" Aldric Oun replied with a courtesy perhaps "good... Thank you for asking" Mara smiled "good... Where are you going ?"

Aldric could not tell what he wanted to do "me... Going for a walk" Mara's face slightly changed her smile slightly lost, "oh so. "then Mara laughed awkwardly.

What happened?, did Aldric say something wrong?, what change of expression was it?, and the awkward laughter instead brought this atmosphere to Aldric's distress.

Behind Mara is seen from a distance Credric walking closely and it seems Credric saw Aldric too, too, Aldric panicked further and decided to end the conversation he would definitely not be allowed to go outside with the current situation.

"excuse me !... I really hunted" Aldric quickly down the stairs and not long Credric arrived at the mara location, Mara looked a little disappointed with the conversation with Aldric earlier.

When Credric saw Mara he immediately lowered his head, "excuse Miss Mara did you see my sister Aldric ?" Mara nods "she just came down the stairs" Credric realizes that Aldric has seen her from a distance and chooses to stay away, what was her word at the time ?.

Credric then sighed "should I not say that to him" Mara tilted her head "what happened ?" Aldric simply replied "um... You could say something happened between us... And it's my fault, I'm sorry"

Credric leaves and Aldric arrives at the Sanctuary Fortress where he is not allowed to go outside because the results of yesterday's investigation have not been published, so he asked one of the guards to let him go to the top of the Sanctuary Fortress he was allowed.

Arriving at the top, a strong wind hit him, he had trouble seeing because of that wind, it seemed like that was why the archers up there were working some kind of glasses, and how did they shoot ?, their arrows would definitely be carried away by this strong wind, Aldric thought, he did not want to spend much time on top so he threw the crystal, although not in the city area this should not be a problem.

The area of the nobility was heavily guarded as well because of this final incident, but the chance of survival was higher here than in the castle, Aldric not long after re-entering the castle.
