Throughout the meeting Aldric did not say anything his head was so empty and he could not even focus on listening to the talk of his father and the other 'king, kaka - kakanya also talk but somehow they talk about Aldric's ears can only catch a few words like 'abyss', then there are 'front line' and also 'heroes' the rest hanyala silence Aldric really hope he does not embarrass his family name excessive...
What is clear is that what is being talked about is important and Aldric is trying to connect his mist-stricken mind back to the conversation.
"the abyss crystal dad is spreading so much on the black market I think we should reinforce the border" Aldric's father said as he rubbed his chin.
"we can't continue to rely on the border to deal with this issue we have to do a deep inspection" the king said from nowhere he confirmed, saying he seemed to have given the idea before.
Aldric tries to gather his thoughts and focus on the ongoing conversation between his father and the royal guest. Although he did not fully understand the context, Aldric tried to capture some keywords such as 'crystal abyss', 'black market', 'border,' and "deep inspection'
From what he caught, Aldric realized that the conversation was related to a serious problem involving crystal abyss. The crystals appear to be a source of concern and may have significant implications for the kingdom. His father expressed concern about the spread of abyss crystals on the black market, while another king suggested to conduct a more in-depth examination.
Unfortunately he did not know what an abyss crystal was and it was better that he kept silent was it some kind of forbidden medicine?, illegal objects?, whatever it was from his name was not something good.
Aldric then brings up the screen system that only he can see and goes to the serch part fortunately the screen can be controlled by the mind of Aldric's mind like a cursor on a computer and he does a crystal search the abyss.
The result is a document when he wants to see more he is required to have a higher level system by completing the achievement to get experience for his system but the search results that now should not be a problem.
The content of the document was, a bluish purple crystal emitting a cold and uncomfortable aura, usually found in the depths of the monster/abyss/animals exposed by this crystal energy will begin to mutate into like an intelligent abyss creature, if the human exposed on the other hand will produce an abyss monster with a humanoid form with magic power and a strong physique but by pawning the common sense exposed by this crystal, this crystal is sold freely on the black market which is usually smuggled by criminal or terrorist organizations.
After reading it Aldric realized how dangerous this crystal is considering this object is sold freely on the black market, talks still continue Aldric immediately focused his mind into the conversation.
"... Ah... Let's just put that aside about the abyss crystal.... And go to the most important part only.." said the royal guest, while Aldric thought the most important part ? , if the abyss crystal is not something so important then what is it ?, "do you really want to step back from the throne ?" the room became a little quieter than before and Aldric's father took some time before he could reply to the question.
"yes.... Is there a problem ?" aldric's father replied confidently, "why Allen?, did something happen?, was there any side-" said the royal guest cut by Allen "neither side asked me to back down - this was all my wish" the room went silent after that.
Giving an answer that sounded confident, but there seemed to be uncertainty in his expression. Aldric tried to understand the situation, trying to connect the clues.
The royal guest again asked more resolutely, seeking clarity on this decision. Aldric felt a sense of tension and anxiety filling the room, and everyone waited with bated breath for the answer his father would give.
Aldric's father finally replied in a slightly trembling voice, "Yes... There's trouble. I feel that the responsibilities and burdens of being a leader are too much for me. I have considered carefully and felt that it was time for me to abdicate my throne"
"if that's what you want.... Whatever.... Tell your heir's son not to hesitate to ask for help from me" a reply from the royal guest seemed to give up with Allen's persistence to lower the crown from his head.
"i know you're going to end up Douglas my friend, thank you for everything" Allen said, crossing his right hand, "no... It doesn't matter if we're friends.... The alliance.... The humans.... We have to support each other at a point like this" Douglas replied wisely.
Aldric listened to the exchange of words between his father, Allen, and the royal guest, Douglas. He was slightly relieved to hear that Douglas had finally given up and accepted his father's decision. There is a sense of friendship and solidarity between the two.
The conversation ended with lunch where Aldric managed to excuse himself first and went to his room which as usual became tidy again, he then received a mail of rewards from the achievements he had previously obtained.
When the mail is opened in the screen part of the system a static is created in the space of reality right in front of him before it takes out something a golden box with a musical note floating in it there is a contraption strange but beautiful, Aldric finally realized it was a music box.
Aldric pressed the top of the music box and the soft and sweeping melodic sound filled the room the sound produced was so beautiful but also complicated and strange but it could not be denied it remained lovely.
Without Aldric realizing the music box was emitting magic energy that made the person who heard it relax and make his breathing better all the tension and embarrassment he felt before disappeared slowly, little did Aldric know the music box could only be heard from one room while the hallway outside his room heard nothing from the music box.
he lay on his bed and began to see the system again this time the market, and just like serch he needed lvl to go to the deeper part of the market, he said, even so the market berlvl 1 still has good contents, it can buy many things at a relatively cheap price.
But the account in the market is still zero he needs coins to fill his account even though he does not care much anyway he is not looking to buy anything for now, because of the music he had accidentally fallen asleep in his bed, Aldric had a beautiful dream that afternoon.
on the other side of Celestia's palace, Seraphina and the son of Douglas were drinking tea in a beautiful white tablecloth garden with beautiful classic tea utensils, and an object like an umbrella flying over them protects them from the heat of the sun.
they talked about many things like clothes, bags, but most of all their magic and school.
"you know, radar magic is magic that I haven't been able to learn or master" the statement from Douglas' son, "uh!?, you can't radar magic yet ?" seraphin said surprised no wonder she is indeed a girl who is talented in the field of magic.
"are you having trouble visualizing it?, or controlling which flow you are?, asked Celestia, "everything, okay?, what ?, somehow visualizing yourself from the third person's point of view and the environment in which you are located is very difficult even though there are already illustrations that do not help" said Douglas' son, it seems like he does have a problem mastering radar magic.
"heard Brianna you have to learn it and master it this month as well as the problem later test later this month" warning from Celestia, "yes I know but I just can't..." brianna said after drinking her tea, she clearly looked stressed.
Seraphina and Celestia looked at Brianna with concern. They understand how important it is to master radar magic on Brianna's journey to becoming a skilled wizard. However, they also know that each individual has different challenges and difficulties in learning magic.
"Calm down, Brianna. We all have different abilities and advances in learning magic" said Seraphina empathetically, "Not all aspects of magic can be easily mastered. Sometimes it takes more time and patience to understand and master a certain form of magic"
Celestia added, "You are not alone in your struggle. We will always be by your side to provide support and assistance. Don't give up and keep trying. I'm sure you'll succeed in mastering this radar magic."
Brianna nodded with a mixed expression between hope and anxiety. He knew that he had to work hard and focus on achieving progress in radar magic. Although he felt stressed and depressed, there was a warmth in the support of Seraphina and Celestia that made him feel more confident.
"thank you both for being my best friends" Brianna said as she warmed up to the two friends, she knew it wasn't going to be easy but she had to.
