127. Crystal Ball

Lilian wriggled from her sleep, a very blinding light forced her to open both eyes.

From the direction of his bedside was emanated a light that dazzled the eyes. Lilian squinted her eyes and tried to see what light was shining that bright.

Lilian stared at a crystal ball that she often used to enter her private room glowing very brightly. The light almost filled the entire room Lilian.

"Since when did the crystal ball shine?" Inner Lilian astonished.

Lilian walked up to the crystal ball and intended to hold it but her steps came to a halt as Citto bit her lower nightgown and tried to pull Lilian away from the crystal ball.

Lilian frowned confusedly. "I can't get close to that crystal ball?" Ask curiously.

Citto immediately jumped up and down a small sign asserting the question of Lilian.

"Is it dangerous?" Ask Lilian again.

Citto again jumped small and continued to bite Lilian's lower dress to stay away from the crystal ball. Lilian stared confusedly at the crystal ball that continued to burn brightly without blinking a single bit.

As Lilian thought about many things from the crystal ball, there were sounds of footsteps approaching her room and sniffing at the door of her room very loudly.

"Lilian are you okay?" Shouted Zheyan in panic.

"Lilian can you hear us? If yes then quickly open the door!!" Shouted Duke Marven.

Lilian immediately walked towards the door and opened the door of her room very wide. Everyone dispelled the extremely bright light using his hands and gazed towards the crystal ball that had been emitting a powerful light ever since.

Seint immediately entered Lilian's room and rushed towards the crystal ball but his steps were held back by Lilian.

"Don't!! Citto said it was dangerous." Said Lilian while pulling Seint's hand.

Seint looked at Lilian and held her hand gently. "Just trust me ." His words calmed Lilian down.

Lilian looked at Seint hesitantly but still let go of her hand. After Lilian released her hand, Seint walked up to the crystal ball and recited it a spell. Not long after, the crystal ball that had shone brightly finally dimmed and finally returned to its usual position.

"What happened to Lilian? Since when can the crystal ball give off light?" Ask Zheyan streak.

Lilian shook her head slowly. "I don't know! I was resting and woke up disturbed by the light of the crystal ball." Lilian.

"We were also having a meeting but suddenly the servants came and said that from inside your room there was a very bright light. Worried that we ran here to check on you." Zheyan.

Lilian sighed softly. "I'm confused too ... All this time the crystal ball never shone but somehow today the crystal ball can shine as bright." Evidently.

"Someone is performing a ritual to find this crystal ball." Said Seint suddenly who was instantly stared at by everyone.

As Zheyan previously explained, if they were having a meeting without King Reinal having to take care of some cases in the Palace. Upon seeing the light coming out from Lilian's room, Seint finally found out what had happened.

"I mean Your Majesty?" Artem asked curiously.

"This is the thing I was looking for in the residence of the Eagle Knight Group yet I did not find it. It turns out that the crystal ball is here." Seint replied as he stared at the crystal ball.

"Your Majesty mentioned the ritual. Can you explain it to us more clearly?" Ask Asgar who is taken in by everyone.

"This crystal ball will look like an ordinary glass ball if it is not glowing but if someone has done a ritual then this ball will shine." Answer Seint.

"Of course to find this crystal ball ... Someone has qualified to perform the ritual for this crystal ball to glow." Obviously Seint.

"What is the function of the crystal ball?" Lilian asked who had just been silent and observed the atmosphere.

"This crystal ball can be used to capture mythical animals." Answer Seint flat.

Lilian reflexively looked at Citto who had been pulling Lilian's dress from the crystal ball.

"That's why Citto said that crystal balls are dangerous? That crystal ball can also capture Citto?" Lilian asked worriedly.

Seint stared at Citto for a bit and nodded slowly after.

"Then what noble will that crystal ball be?" Ask Duke Marven.

"I'll take him not to get too close to Citto. This crystal ball has been done ritually then gradually it will attract Citto energy. We'd better keep Citto away from this crystal ball and I'll find another way that this crystal ball won't draw energy from Citto." Obviously Seint.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Seint's decision to take the crystal ball away from Citto.

"What made me wonder, how is that crystal ball here?" Artem asked suddenly.

"That crystal ball I got from a grandfather while doing chores out of town. Because I felt so beautiful, I finally decided to make the crystal ball as a tool so that Lilian could enter her private room. Yet I really did not know the original function of that crystal ball." Obviously Duke Marven while remembering the face of the old man who had previously sold the item to him.

"Isn't this all a coincidence? There are so many events that exactly like this happen by chance." Wonder Zheyan.

"Rubber ... All events just flow and there's always this kind of coincidence that always happens like all these things were premeditated." Said Duke Marven who was taken by everyone.

After a long conversation, finally they all returned to have a meeting that had previously been delayed.

In addition, the location is still in the capital of the kingdom of Apollonia. Someone is performing a ritual that takes a little while.

That person was none other than Alben Benito, from earlier he was doing a ritual to look for the existence of the crystal ball that had been hidden by the Great Lord of his existence from everyone.

Alben Benito accidentally learned about the crystal ball before their Grand Master forbade them to find out where the crystal ball was.

The ritual only drew some of the symbols they needed using limestone. After the symbols have been fully completed, then someone who has learned about the crystal ball will recite a spell that will make the crystal ball glow and bring out its bright light.

After performing the ritual, from afar Alben Benito still clearly able to see a very bright light is not far from where to hold the ritual.

With the help of the Elders and the other Teachers, Alben Benito managed to exit his residence unnoticed by the Soldiers and follow the direction the light appeared in.

Alben Benito stopped not far from the Duke Marven residence and smiled softly to see the light that had been shining brightly began to dim and not long after the light was no longer visible.

"So this was the reason why they always targeted the Crown Princess." Alben Benito said cynically.

"It turns out the crystal ball was in Duke Marven's residence. The Crown Princess is very intelligent, if she already feels very curious about something then she will try to find out about the truth. The crystal ball was already glowing very brightly, there was no way he would just stand still and stare at the light of the crystal ball. The sky is still blessing me so I can take my revenge on those fuckers. Just wait and see when that crystal ball will lead the Crown Princess to your rotten plan." Alben Benito was pleased.

Alben Benito then turned around and walked back to his residence. He already felt so lucky to have performed the ritual that it brought him to the front of the Duke Marven Residence. Alben Benito felt that he only had to wait for time to see the men self-destructed.
