Dark Phoenix Prince

Chapter 8: Secret



Chapter 8: Secret

The trip lasted about an hour before the Princess's group arrived at the royal border.

There are two very large mountains in that place and between the two mountains there is a valley known as the valley of the wild beasts.

Since the strength of the beast in the valley was not very strong, it was often used as a training ground for young people from the two kingdoms.

Not far from that valley was also a small town that was often used as a stopover for people passing through the Blue Spiritual Kingdom and the Sacred Wind Kingdom.

The Blue Spiritual Kingdom spiritual ship then landed on a castle courtyard located in the middle of the city. It was the city lord's castle.

When Princess Reva and the other young nobles got out of the spiritual ship, there was already a group of people waiting outside. The one in the lead was a slightly chubby middle-aged man in quite luxurious clothing.

With the few warriors following behind him, one could conclude that he was the owner of the castle behind or the lord of this frontier town.

"Welcome, Princess Reva, to my little town. To be able to welcome you personally is the greatest blessing in the life of this humble man." The city lord bowed respectfully.

Even though the city lord was also an noble, only a noble whose territory was on the royal border was basically no different from an ordinary person if they were stationed in the royal capital. His cultivation was also only at the Life and Death stage.

Not to mention the Royal Princess, even if only one of those young nobles came, he would still have to personally greet them.

"Please, Princess Reva, and young nobles too. I have prepared a place for all of you in my humble castle. I heard Prince Varog is already on his way, and he still needs some time to arrive at this border. You can all rest first if you want." He said again, using his hand to invite.

Apart from his slightly chubby body, the city lord's gesture looked very elegant. He looked like he had been practicing his gestures for several months.

However, even though the city lord was very polite, none of the young nobles cared much about him. They only glanced at him for a moment before ignoring him. Even Princess Reva herself only nodded slightly at him.

Of course, in the eyes of a small town lord, a small nod from the princess was still the great honor he could earn. It was all he could use to brag to his fellow border nobles.

"Prince Varog only needs about an hour left before he arrives. We will wait for him here only. It would be rude to wait inside the castle." Princess Reva then spoke after she arrived at the castle grounds.

No one objected to Princess Reva's suggestion. After all, the status of the crown prince of the Great Kingdom was very high. The city lord suggested it was nothing more than just being polite to the Princess and the other young nobles.

....

While the people were waiting, some of Hawke's friends walked over to Alu who was wearing Hawke's body.

"Hey, Hawke, where have you been in the last few days. Did Mrs. Vita give you any special service that long." One of them then asked.

Alu only responded to them with a mysterious smile.

"Don't talk about it now. If the Princess hears, she could just kick us out of here." Alu then rebuked them.

"Huh." They finally remember that they are not at the entertainment venue.

Princess Reva probably didn't care what they were doing. But if their conversation was deemed as embarrassing to the Blue Spiritual Kingdom people, that Princess could just throw them out.

Alu then started discussing other things with them. Even though Alu really didn't care about those people, Alu thought she might be able to use those people if needed later.

"By the way, have you heard of it. It is said that the hunting party this time was not as simple as just a hunting party."

As they continued to chat, one of them suddenly said something that attracted Alu.

"I heard it too but I don't know what happened. Hawke do you know anything?" They then asked Alu.

ALU couldn't help but be confused when asked by them. Not to mention the fact that Alu is not Hawke. Even if it was the real Hawke, it wasn't necessarily that he would know something considering how neglected he was in the royal family.

"He-he-he, Hawke spent his time with Mrs. Vita in the last few days, how did he know." Someone chuckled when they saw the confusion on Hawke's face.

"What's not simple about this hunting party?" Alu then asked. He's trying to find information.

"I don't know either. After all, this is also just a rumor. Even high ranking nobles don't really know what it is. Maybe only Princess Reva knows clearly." Someone answered.

While they were talking, Alu tried to make an educated guess in his heart.

"So secret! Was there anything strange in the valley. Or had something valuable appeared there?" Alu wondered.

"But if it's something valuable, why are they only sending the younger generation who are still weak?"

After knowing that something was different, Alu began to listen to the conversations of the other young nobles. There are still some of them who talk about it. But like Hawke's friends, they don't know that very clearly either.

....

About an hour later, a spiritual ship that was ten times larger than the spiritual ship belonging to the Blue Spiritual Kingdom suddenly appeared above the city, attracting everyone's attention.

"Isn't this spiritual ship a bit too big?" ALU who saw the spiritual ship descending towards the castle grounds couldn't help but be surprised.

Although the number of young nobles that the Sacred Wind Kingdom carried was probably several times more numerous, a spiritual ship the same size as the spiritual ship belonging to the Blue Spiritual Kingdom should be large enough to accommodate them all.

However, soon Alu realized why they were using such a large spiritual ship.

As the door on the hull opened, Alu saw that not only young nobles were exiting the spiritual ship, but also royal warriors, who were several times more numerous.

"This is very interesting." Alu narrowed his eyes as he felt the aura of the warriors.

None of the warriors had Life and Death stage cultivation. All the warriors were actually only emitting auras of True Spiritual stage. This took Alu by surprise.

"Besides, it seems that there are some Nirvana stage experts hiding in that spiritual ship."

Alu wouldn't be able to sense the existence of a Nirvana stage expert if they wanted to hide. But because of his Phoenix soul, Alu has a sharper instinct than most people.

That instinct will tell Alu if there is great danger nearby. And this time, Alu felt a danger that could only come from a Nirvana stage expert.

"Looks like the hunting party this time is really nothing more than a cover. They don't seem to want the other kingdoms to know what's going on here."

"What makes them keep it a secret? Even the opportunities for nirvana stage usually won't be too kept secret."

Normally, unless there was a chance that could help a Nirvana stage expert break through to the Nirvana King stage, people from other kingdoms would not interfere with matters in other kingdoms.

....

Alu stopped thinking and he started to turn his gaze to the young man who was standing in front of the young nobles of the Sacred Wind Kingdom.

The young man had a handsome face and golden hair. His style looks like an elegant noble.

He, of course, is Prince Varog.

Judging from his expression, Alu could conclude that Prince Varog was not someone with a bad personality like most of the other noble children.

In the cultivation world, there were too few people who could be said to be truly kind. But, there are still quite a few people who have their own bottom line.

Of course, Alu is not a part of them.

"Indeed, even if Princess Reva didn't fall for him, she couldn't hate him either." Alu nodded.

"Besides, his talent is indeed better than most of the Crown Princes of the Great Kingdom. His spiritual source is probably already up to one thousand and nine hundred. He is basically already on par with the heir of a second tier faction."

The Great Kingdom is a faction ruled by a lower-level Nirvana King, or seventh layer of the Nirvana stage. They are usually referred to as the third tier faction.

Above them was a second tier faction led by an intermediate Nirvana King, or eighth layer of the Nirvana stage.

Most of the second tier factions were not in the form of an kingdom. They were usually hidden sects or clans.

Of course, they usually had multiple kingdoms under them.

As for the first tier faction. There is only one such faction in the Holy Light continent. They are the Holy Light clan led by a high-ranking Nirvana King, or ninth layer of the Nirvana stage. That is the peak of the Nirvana stage.

Even though there are quite a number of continents in the region of a thousand islands, the reality is that not all continents have someone with the cultivation of the ninth layer of the Nirvana stage.

....

After getting off the spiritual ship, the young nobles from the Holy Wind Kingdom walked towards the young nobles from the Blue Spiritual Kingdom. They walked following Prince Varog who walked towards Princess Reva.

The young couple looks happy as they look at each other. They even hugged each other for a moment when they arrived in front of each other. Their actions made many of the young nobles from the two kingdoms jealous.

"Prince Varog seems to have really fallen in love with Princess Reva. But Princess Reva is indeed very good at acting. Or is she just a bitch who enjoys intimacy with handsome men." Alu sneered as he saw their intimacy.

Every time Alu saw a couple who loved each other, he would always sneer.

Sometimes Alu himself wonders if he is just jealous that he can't go through that.

However, with Alu's current personality and character, he does underestimate what is called love.

If it weren't for his feelings and guilt towards the Dragon Princess that still remained in his heart, Alu would definitely think of love as a hindrance to one's cultivation path.

Unfortunately until now, Alu couldn't get rid of his feelings even though his father always tried to make Alu throw Princess Elizabeth out of his mind.
