Chapter seven

          The King was quite a clown when he gets some alone time with his boys but whenever it was time for business he becomes so extremely disciplined that it becomes contagious to the people around him. The King was born naturally with both the earth and fire crest which meant that he was a magma magic user but he later discovered one more crest which was the wind crest, so the King was a wielder of three crests. His beautiful wife, the Queen had both the wind and water crest which meant that she was a storm magic user.  

     Bran the first son of King Gilliard took over his dad's crest, he had both the earth and fire crest and just like his dad he uses the magma magic. Chrollo the second son of King Gilliard, the calm and collected of them all was calculative just like his mother the Queen, no wonder why he had the same crest of wind and water just like her. He uses the storm magic. Luchigan the last son and child of King Gilliard had this possessive crest of wind and fire which works with his mood swings. Fire and wind don't go together so Luchigan couldn't really control his powers and his crest takes control of him whenever he is angry. Luchigan and Chrollo stood up after the King have told to arise and stop kneeling down.    

" Father, I have a request to ask of you" Chrollo said to his father that was being fed some fine wine in a golden cup by his wife Queen Lucia of Cistra.

    "Go ahead son" the king said as he kept running his finger through his thick beards.      

And so Chrollo started "I am sure we are aware of the stranger that Luchigan caught during our last hunt for the wild boar. He tried to attack Luchigan but Luchingan was strong enough to knock him down. He was put in the dungeon, he confessed to being a commoner from one of the little province that was on the outskirts of the kingdom and he goes by the name Regis. He is a hunter and he hunts to sustain people of his village. Some days ago I felt the presence of a mystical being around which wasn't the usual cyclops that we had locked up in the dungeon. Regis felt that presence too and it was approaching his village and he needed to go because he could feel danger was coming The King immediately interrupted" it takes a high level of knighthood to sense the presence of a mystical being, so how is it possible that a commoner from the outskirts of the village could sense such?"

       "I am as surprised as you are father. So Regis asked for permission to be released from the dungeon so that he could go protect his people but I refused and I left the dungeon. I could sense that Regis already escaped the dungeon and he was on his way out from the kingdom already. There is this great energy that I am sensing from this commoner that only high level knights possesed"

      "He eventually went back to his village and he returned back to the dungeon as soon as he was done over there. I went to see for myself in his village because I could feel that the energy from the mysterious being I was sensing earlier got dissipated already. When I got to the village i found the head of seven werewolves hanging on seven different sticks on the entrance of the village. The villagers knew who I was but they were not willing to give out information concerning the person that slayed seven werewolves all by himself. I knew it was Regis that was responsible for it and I quickly returned back to the dungeon in our kingdom to have a word with Regis. If I'm not mistaken Father, it took one of our class D knights to take down a werewolf alone but this commoner took down seven of it alone which meant that he is far above class C in the knight ranking. He wanted to have a fight challenge with Luchigan over here and I looked straight into his eyes and there was no sign of fear. Luchigan have made a name for himself all over the kingdom but this commoner wasn't a bit scared of him. So instead of him fighting with Luchigan, I made a proposal for him to fight with the cyclops that was trapped in the dungeon and he said yes without thinking twice So I have come to ask that you grant permission for the cyclops to be released so that it could battle the commoner. If my calculations are correct then this commoner could be a great asset to the kingdom. What do you think father?" Chrollo asked his father.       Everyone was paying attention to the well detailed explanation of Chrollo. The King had to readjust his position to pay more attention to what Chrollo was saying.  

   " If what you're saying is true then I will need to see it for myself because and I know just the perfect time to put his power into test if he's as strong as you claim he is. The annual knighthood ceremony is soon approaching and this is the perfect stage for him to show us what he can do but if he dies then I'll take over his village and turn them all to the slaves of the kingdom of Cistra because he tried to kill my son. So I have given you full permission for the cyclops to be released on that day. You too should go prepare for the annual knighthood ceremony so that I could see what you have learnt over one year. You may depart my presence now" the king said as he stepped out of the mattress he was resting on to look at his kingdom through the balcony.    

" Yes father" the princes replied as they left the chambers of the king.    

"What do you think about this commoner Chrollo is talking about? The King asked his wife Lucia.
