‎The moment the King spoke, every ounce of pressure vanished.‎‎It did not fade gradually.‎‎It did not weaken.‎‎It was erased.‎‎Bron's frozen aura collapsed instantly. My crimson energy shattered into harmless particles before dissolving into the air. Even the cracked obsidian floor ceased trembling as though reality itself had been commanded to remain still.‎‎Silence.‎‎Absolute silence.‎‎No one moved.‎‎No one dared.‎‎Every noble lowered their heads.‎‎Even Bron.‎‎The giant prince clicked his tongue as the blue scales coating his skin receded and disappeared as though they had never existed. His enlarged body shrank back to normal, his monstrous presence returning beneath his calm exterior.‎‎I remained standing.‎‎Then, without warning—‎‎We were overwhelmed.‎‎The King's golden eyes swept across the hall.‎‎The moment they landed upon us, it felt as though an invisible mountain had descended from the heavens and settled upon our shoulders.‎‎Impossible to c

‎Chloe sighed deeply as we walked back into my bedchamber. The heavy double door clicked shut behind us, sealing the world outside.‎‎"Are you alright, maid?" I asked, glancing at her once while striding toward the wardrobe that dominated one wall.‎‎"I just survived a dangerous night," she replied, swallowing hard. Her voice trembled slightly. "I think I am." She kept her head downcast, fingers nervously intertwined in front of her.‎‎I smiled sharply, a predatory glint in my eyes. "That was nothing, Chloe." My reflection stared back at me from the polished silver mirror as I stripped off my trousers, then my underwear, letting them fall carelessly to the floor. "I'm just getting started. Soon, I will rule this realm and everything beyond it." ‎‎A heavy silence settled between us for a few moments.‎‎Then she spoke again.‎‎"That is a commendable ambition, Your Highness," Chloe said, finally lifting her gaze to meet mine. "But your siblings alone are not ones to take lightly.

‎"You're late, Prince Richard," Allen said, his face devoid of any trace of a smile. Only cold seriousness etched his features as we stood a few feet apart in the vast training field.‎‎"Sorry, Allen. I overslept and had a rather lengthy discussion with my mother," I explained, offering a sharp, apologetic smile in return.‎‎"None of that matters, young prince," he replied sternly. With practiced precision, he reached over his shoulder, plucked one of his sleek brown arrows from the quiver on his back, and nocked it against the bowstring. ‎‎"In this reality, Your Highness, if you're late, you're late. There is no escaping the consequences simply because you were born royal." His piercing red eyes locked onto mine, radiating a powerful killing intent that sent a chill down my spine. His curly dark hair whipped wildly in the morning wind, adding to his imposing presence, and blue skin.‎‎"Must we always begin our training sessions with these lectures, old man?" I mocked, my grin wi

Boom!The earth shattered beneath the force of the attack, and the entire castle trembled violently.Massive clouds of dust surged into the sky while fragments of ice scattered in every direction, creating a faint blue mist that drifted through the battlefield. The servants and guards watching from afar gasped in horror, completely unable to comprehend what was unfolding before their eyes. All they could do was stand there and watch.From within the dust and icy haze, I observed Allen carefully. My wounds were healing, but far slower than before.This thing called magic... it's interesting. And powerful.As the battle continued, I was beginning to understand its fundamentals. It was just like Qi. Once you begin fighting an opponent who is not only strong but intelligent, you slowly start gaining knowledge through every clash, every movement, and every exchange.I looked down at my body and repeatedly clenched my right fist."And this body..." I muttered softly. "I think I'm finally ge

"What?!" The red-eyed Titan's eyes widened in disbelief as the thick cloud of dust slowly cleared. Standing at the center of the destruction, the Prince remained completely unharmed, not even a scratch on his body."He's a monster..." the yellow-eyed Titan muttered through gritted teeth. "But one more attack should finish him."He drew back his invisible bow once more, and the moment the string was pulled, lightning crackled violently across the dark heavens. The sky rumbled without pause."Hahaha... Hahahaha!"Richard's laughter echoed across the battlefield, deep and menacing. His fingers tightened around the hilt of his sword as his crimson eyes gleamed with excitement.DEEEESH!He shot forward like a falling star, leaving deep footprints carved into the earth with every step. The air split apart around him from the sheer force of his speed, and a violent gust followed in his wake."ICE SPEAR: THUNDER BLAST!"The yellow-eyed Titan unleashed another spear of frozen ice wrapped in cr
