The Cruel Sword Prince

do you have anything more you want to ask?

is there a library around here?

i want to read some books about magic, swordsmanship and history

a library?

there is one

it is managed by an old lady

can you give me the directions?

sure

do you not know about magic system?

no i have always been alone living in a forest by myself so i dont know much about the civilization

suspicious but since you helped seraph i will overlook it for the time being but remember if you make seraph cry then you know what will happen right.

ye..yes

i understand

i will leave you alone for sometime so that you can get some rest

thanks

as everina left the room vale thought about the things he must do now learning swordsmanship, understanding magic and if possible fight fang again. In order to fight fang he must find a way to stay in this town for some time and also train and become stronger far stronger than he currently is

guess i will get some rest

as vale tried to think of further things sleep quickly came over him during the same time as vale was resting a meeting was going on between the clan head and his vassals

so, who is that boy and where did he come from?

princess has said that she met him during the time she was out collecting medicinal herbs. he protected her although he doesn't look strong but according to princess his one punch was enough to make that snake male stagger on his feet

hmm,

i see

seeing how strong seraphina is and although injured from the previous battle she is one of the strongest amongst us the sable people. so if she says that boy is strong than he must be strong

we will see that

and also it looks like princess is quite fond of valerius

WHAT?

WHAT DID YOU SAY MINISTER?

clan head heron, also it looks like the medicinal herbs that the princess brought works on the crown prince

what?

is what you are saying true?

yes clan head heron what i am saying is true

if it is true than this calls for a celebration

yes but that will have to wait for some time as we have to find a way to get those medicinal herbs. should we re-negotiate the treaty?

what treaty are you talking about? The moment they attacked seraphina the treaty was already finished and now we know that the area that they asked from us have medicinal herbs that can potentially cure ryk than we can also assume that they knew about it and still didn't provide us with that information

what should be done than clan head heron?

its simple. we will declare war on them.

start amassing our troops and ask them to prepare for a war

as you say clan head heron

just how much our people have suffered due to those lowlife snake people

this is the right time. we will attack them and kill them all

that is it

yes clan head heron

as the meeting was ending it was already evening and someone was making her way to the room where vale was resting it was none other than seraphina. as she entered the room she saw her beloved vale sleeping soundly she couldn't believe that she could fall in love. she has always been a tomboyish girl with no interest in things like love and yet here she was falling deeply in love with vale as she came near the bed where vale was sleeping she silently sat on the chair near his bed and quietly whispered

vale,

are you awake?

oi vale-

its time for dinner.

vale

as she was saying that vale quietly opened his eyes and he saw seraphina quietly sitting near him asking him to wake up for dinner. as he was about to get up. two guards came in the room pushing a trolley. it had food on it. as they came closer vale couldn't look at what food they brought as it was covered. vale thought it must be the soup he ate before as he was about to say something the guards quickly opened their mouths. This is your food human saying that they slowly started uncovering the food it looked like it was some sort of stew and bread with a lot of meat and vegetables. this is your food for tonight we will come again tomorrow morning with your breakfast so eat and get well

thank you very much

saying that the guards saluted princess and left the room without saying any words. as vale was about to start eating the food seraphina suddenly stopped him and she picked up the bread dipped it into the stew and raised her hand with the food towards vale's mouth. vale quietly ate the food that seraphina was feeding him

vale, i heard from miss everina that you want to go to library

yes

can i accompany you?

sure, i dont mind you coming along with me to the library

and about the swordsmanship instructor that you wore asking about. i have asked my father about it he said he will send someone tomorrow morning to meet you. the person that will arrive to meet you will be the sword instructor that will be teaching you

do you know about the instructor?

no i dont know that person

i understand

so what kind of magic symbol do you have?

a triangle

what elements can you use?

stone magic, wind magic and dark magic.

your brother can use four elements and you can use three. do snake people also use three elements?

no most people can only use one element and a maximum of two. only selected people can use three or four elements

is there anyone with more than four elements?

no i dont know of anyone like this in this town also the demon emperor is the only person currently with a hexagon only he can use six elements

are there any strong people in the snake peoples town?

i dont think so. if they had any strong person like that they would have definitely attacked the sable people.

the sable people?

yes us the scorpion people call ourselves the sable people

and what do the snake people call themselves?

they call themselves the serpentes

by the time vale finished eating his food it was already quite late in the night as vale saw outside the room he saw two female attendants standing there quietly as they saw vale finished eating the food. they quietly entered the room and started taking the food trolley out of the room

its already late at night vale i shouldn't disturb you anymore so i will be taking my leave. i will come back again in morning and if your leg gets better tomorrow lets go to the library

yeah seraphina.
