Re: In My Bloody Hit Novel

Commander Hardstone shook his head, "Hmmm! It seems that the Chanland Kingdom have become Braver than usual. It will seem that the rumors are true. The Joker's Blue poison is a specialty that only one of their clans can make. I heard that it is even a bloodline ability. If soldiers at our borders are being targeted like this, then it only means that they no longer acknowledge our superiority."

"Commander Hardstone," Chiron suddenly interrupted. The gist of the conversation had caught his interest when he heard Joker's Blue poison. And then he heard Bloodline ability. He wanted to know more.

"This Chanland Kingdom you are talking about, are they really that dangerous."

The moment Chiron said this, those gathered at the table could not help but crack a laugh.

Chiron raised a brow at this. However, he waited for a response. After all, One was only a fool at the moment of asking questions and wise for life. But If one never asked questions, he was a fool for life.

They had their laugh a bit and then Vanguard saw the stern expression on Chiron's face. She tapped the Commander on his shoulder.

*Cough* Commander Hardstone resumed his professional look.

"The Chanland Kingdom is nothing to the might of the Vandora kingdom. In fact, until some few years ago, they still payed yearly tribute to us."

Chiron caught the key words in that statement. "So why did they stop?"

This question made them frown.

"The kingdoms on this continent are made up of clans. which means according to the Code of the Round Table, we get to be under the Jurisdiction of the Twelve Zordiac Clans. Since we both carry the previleges of being a Kingdom and house clans, we get the unruled out choice to choose who will be our Masters at the Round Table."

Chiron raised a brow at this. He remembered the conversation Knight Sheyi had with Commander Hardstone when the commander had interrupted their fight.

Back then too, Knight Sheyi had asked why a kingdom was not taking the side of the Holy Church and Commander Hardstone had replied with the Vandora kingdom being under the Dragon House of the Zodiac Families.

The Round Table was made up of the Powerhouses that shared the world like a loaf of bread.

Each governed their own regions and lands accordingly.

The code of the Round table states clearly on the punishment and fine of invading another's territory.

some which was torture and death.

The Zodiac Houses controlled the Clan areas. Most Clans were just families that had become very large.

Therefore their rulers are the Zodiac families.

This was the reason why the people of the holy church, especially Knight Sheyi was skeptical about invading the Chikitsa territory.

Even though he wanted to hunt an evil child, it would not exempt him and his subordinates from the harsh punishment of invading the territory of the zodiac families.

However, the Chanland Kingdom had now submitted themselves to one of the Powerhouses of the round table.

Chiron frowned, "The Holy Church?" he asked.

"Yes," Commander Hardstone nodded. "They have the protection of the Holy Church now. And therefore do not need to pay tribute to our kingdom under the Zodiac families."

"But that is still not the problem," Vanguard added.

"And what is the problem?" Chiron asked.

Vanguard frowned. She obviously did not want to say.

Chiron took note of this. However, he was not planning to let this go just yet.

"I'm I your Prince!?" Chiron suddenly asked.

No one replied.

Chiron walked towards vanguard and stopped before her.

At the moment, he had a robe draped on his shoulders to hide his armlessness. Also, Vanguard was significantly taller than him.

But Chiron's gaze gave one the impression that he was talking down at her.

"I'M I YOUR PRINCE!?" Every word came out of Chiron's mouth in such a way that showed that he knew how the dynamic of power worked.

Chiron was not up to her power level. In fact she was so strong that she could practically have smacked him with a hand and his head would roll out of his neck.

After all, she was a bronze ranked cultivator.

However, the dynamic of power was a funny thing.

One might be strong but being subject to another form of power makes the person a slave.

This was a power dynamic that Chiron knew well.

He might not be as powerful, but these soldiers were slaves to their oath. They were slaves to Authority.

"Yes, Yes you are!" she spoke out of gritted teeth.

"So please, Captain Vanguard, Can you give your prince the answer to the information he requires?" Chiron had a faint smile that was not a smile on his face.

Vanguard saw this. She wanted to talk. After all Chiron was using his authority as her superior.

However, surprisingly, she still did not want to talk.

Just then, Commander Hardstone butt in with his hard laugh as he mediated the situation.

"Forgive her My prince. She is just gets very shy when she talks to men." he turned to Vanguard and patted her strongly on the shoulder.

"Come on. Go on, you can tell him. Besides he is a part of the kingdom now, and he is still your prince. Although not yet confirmed by the Shaman," he took a slight peek at Chiron when he said this part, "but he is still your prince."

Chiron took note of this in his heart.

He knew what the commander meant when he said that it was not yet confirmed by the Shaman.

Chiron remembered the conversation he had with the Commander. he knew that it was the Chief Shaman of the Temple that had found him.

He knew that this was also Commander Hardstone's way of saying that he was not to push his luck and authority any further. After all, it was not yet confirmed.

In other words, he was cupping Vanguard for her stubbornness and Chiron for pushing his luck, both at the same time.

the Atmosphere had become a bit tense. Everyone remained quiet, and then Chiron suddenly burst into laughter.

"Of course Commander hardstone. I understand."

Just then, Chiron heard a familiar voice come behind him.

"Brother!?"

Chiron did not even need to turn to know who it was.

In fact he had to admit that this girl's existence was slowly becoming annoying. After all, she now had no use to her existence in his eyes.

However, he was currently in a precarious position and a good acting was only going to do him good.

Slowly, Chiron turned to her.

The moment she saw him, she could not hold it back anymore.

She immediately ran and jumped into his embrace as tears washed down the side of her eyes.

She had literally slammed herself into his chest.

As she held him and cried, she suddenly noticed something.

It was something that she had not noticed before. Which was because of the robe on his shoulders.

However, she noticed it now.

Chiron had been passed out for months now.

She had requested to see him many times but Commander Hardstone had insisted that she waited until he was awake.

Therefore, this was the first time that she was noticing that he did not have any hands.

"Brother, where... where are your..." She covered her mouth with a hand and she fell on her knees.

Chiron also went on his knees and rubbed his cheek on her own.

"Don't worry Ra ra. It is alright."

Naturally, another round of screaming wails went out.

Commander Hardstone sighed lowly.

He instructed that there take things inside and allow a moment with the siblings.

Even he had to admit that this was going to be a bit difficult once they got to the palace.

Everyone went back to the Tesseract as Commander hardstone gave out instructions to his team on what to do with the surviving villagers and even the poisoned guards of the base.

He turned and took one last look at Chiron and Nora.

However, what he saw made him raise a brow.

He assumed maybe it was just seeing things and moved on.

However, unknown to him, he wasn't.

That expressionless and emotionless look on Chiron's face was real.

Chiron only immediately changed it to a 'I miss my younger sister' look the moment he discovered that the commander was looking.

After the issue with the villagers was settled, Commander Hardstone commanded that the Tesseract take them home.

From the border to the Royal Palace, it only took another till morning for them to reach.

Chiron stood at the bow of the ship with his servants as he looked as the rise of the morning sun welcomed their arrival into the Vandora kingdom.

Far off in the distance, he could see the incredible majestic palace of the vandora kingdom.

It was like a giant Arrow pointing towards the sky. It was at least a thousand feet into the sky.

It looked mighty and grand and was mighty proof to the strength of this kingdom.

All around, Chiron could see different sizes of Tesseract in the air. Some were coming and some were going.

This was the capital of the Vandora kingdom. This was Kendon...
