The Banquet continued.Everyone was doing their own thing, some were discussing matters of the empire while some were gossiping about the latest news. Karna was awkward as this was his first banquet and he did not know what to talk about so he just decided to eat.Ron and Bryan were discussing the geopolitical situation of the continent and the new laws endorsed by the emperor. Ron remembered that he required some good-quality wood between the conversation,"Lord Bryan, I need 10 tons of brown wood. What's going to be the prize?""That's quite a large amount, If you don't mind... what are you going to do with it?" Bryan asked curiously. "Not at all, I'm going to begin a Large scale construction project in the territory. That's why I need so much wood." Ron answered without any change in his expression."I see, since your lordship is buying it in a bulk I will give you a 10% Discount. Originally it would have been 500,000 gold Hons, with the discount it will be 450,000 gold Hons."Ron

Karna opened his eyes slowly as he woke up in a daze. His eyelids were heavy and he felt weak and drowsy. sharp sun rays coming from the cracked wall penetrated his eyes as he squinted in pain. Karna blocked the rays with his hands and recovered his stunned eyesight shortly, he jerked his head left and right to clear the drowsiness.Karna felt very uncomfortable as he was unfamiliar with his own body. Although the body wasn't his in the first place.Karna found himself in a shabby-looking room, likely the servant's quarters. The room had a single bed with simple bed sheets, a full-body mirror, a table, and a wooden compartment to store some things. He was on Lara's bed when he saw Lara beside him sleeping peacefully. Even while sleeping, she seemed to be in a guarded posture as she was hugging her own body, seemingly protecting the vital parts. She looked like a scared kitten with her unmatured and petite body. The rough marks of tears could be seen on her cheeks.Karna moved his neck

At the entry post of the Blue Isle city, An beautifully adorned carriage that was being pulled by two Magical Beasts arrived escorted by 80 horsemen, another similarly prestigious carriage, and a few other warriors who seemed to be the high-ranked bodyguards.The Magical Beasts had a build similar to a lion but they were broad and had sharp and very long fangs that even extended outside of their mouths. The beast's faces looked ferocious with long whiskers dangling from their mouth toward the chin beside the fangs.The creatures had brownish-red and dense fur which covered their entire bodies. The beasts had sturdy and strong legs with metallic-looking claws, even some muscles were visible which made it obvious that the beasts could pull the carriage effortlessly and for extensive periods without any bother. They also had small, pointy, and angular horns on their heads. The city guards who were at the entry post gasped in astonishment seeing the convoy. Some passersby even passed out

Brycen and Wayne with everyone else looked at the carriage that had arrived at the city gates in unison, The carriage was in a class of its own. It looked similar to other luxurious carriages but the luster of the material and elegance of the design was completely different in quality. Even the Duke's carriage was overshadowed in its prestige.But what attracted the attention of these experts were the guards around the two carriages. All nobles had come with hundreds of soldiers to escort them but the Zarx Family's carriage was only escorted by a few guards who were not even 50 in total. This surprised many nobles at present as they could not comprehend if someone was so confident in their ability or just ignorant of the dangers during the journey.But people did not dare to make assumptions as there were truly some formidable people in the vast world. They looked at the Family Insignia which was engraved on the carriages and the armor of the warriors.Brycen and Wayne also looked at

Karna opened his eyes and once again saw the unknown white place. He was not surprised as much this time and was much calmer. However, he was still very curious about the place. Karna turned around wanting to explore the place once again."Eehk!" He shrieked in surprise after what he saw."Surprised? You thought you could have my body and live happily ever after, did you!?" The voice which was bold, sharp, and full of confidence rang in the strange place.Karna was dumbstruck as he saw the appearance of 'Rudra' in front of him. The figure was not clear as it was very transparent but it was undoubtedly Rudra's face."Idiot! What are you looking at? Have you not figured it out yet?" Rudra said in annoyance and frustration."Y-you are...." Karna muttered in a low voice as he averted his gaze."That's right! I am Rudra Von Zarx and you are an imposter!" Rudra yelled in an intimidating manner."Shut the fuck up! I didn't even want to get inside your body. I don't even know what happened to
