Ayeon swiveled his head towards the Emperor in surprise as he hadn't been informed of this. Unless...

"The Seventh Prince, Ayeon Arcadia has been engaged to the Fel Family Head's daughter, Felicia Fel."

The Emperor stated, causing many young nobles to become indignant and unsatisfied in their heart, but they didn't show it.

After all, Felicia Fel was one of the top ten beauties in the entire Arcadia Kingdom. Not just that, she was ranked at the very top three!

"Anyway, please enjoy this banquet!"

He continued before sitting back down and taking the food from a maid.

Ayeon and Alexia walked back to their previous table while Sabrina and Alexia followed.

After sitting down, Alexia and Sabrina both started pulling Myra's cheeks.

"Myraaa, why didn't you tell us this yesterday? To be engaged to one of the twelve families that is the pillar of this kingdom is no small matter!"

They complained.

"Both... of you.. were too.. tired yesterday and.. went to sleep immediately.."

Myra defended with difficulty as her cheeks were being pulled.

Alexia and Sabrina let go after hearing her answer, but Myra was rubbing her cheeks with tears in her eyes.

"Look! Both of you caused her to have tears in her eyes from all that tugging!"

Ayeon pointed at Myra helplessly before instructing:

"Myra, you should direct the spiritual energy inside your body towards your cheeks and then circulate them. Within a few seconds, the pain will go away."

"Wow! It really worked brother! I thought the spiritual energy was only for us to level up!"

Myra had stars in her eyes after doing exactly as he instructed.

"Spiritual energy has many uses, it's just that people often associate it with only able to help levelling up as that's the common thing everyone knows. They just haven't tried to explore the many uses of it."

Ayeon opened up a new path for them while explaining.

"For example, you could apply spiritual energy when using your bloodline weapon and make its attacks stronger as well as using it to boost speed, healing factors and even make your body stronger like mine. There are many more but you would have to find them for yourself."

"Ok ok, we get it. Now you have to uphold what you said earlier!"

Alexia stopped him from speaking any further.

"What I said earlier..? You mean dancing with you?"

Ayeon asked with a confused look.

"Yes. Now come my dear prince, you owe this princess a dance tonight."

Alexia pulled Ayeon's hand to the area where couples were dancing.

With that, Ayeon danced with Alexia and afterwards just ate. Like this, the day passed.

♢ ♢ ♢

One month later, a common carriage was on the road, heading towards the Sacred Nurture Academy.

"Brother, quickly look! Those rabbits are fighting over a carrot!"

A feminine voice energetically said.

"Myra, you talk like you've never seen rabbits in your entire life."

Another more m.a.t.u.r.e feminine voice scoffed.

"Well... only big sis and brother went out of the imperial palace grounds. I was always cooped up inside, so I never had the chance to see animals..."

The first feminine voice sadly said.

That's right. Inside this common carriage were Ayeon and his three siblings, heading towards the Sacred Nurture Academy to take the enrollment test.

"Hm?" Ayeon narrowed his eyes at the scenery outside the carriage window.

"What's wrong?"

Alexis immediately noticed his change.

"Bandits most likely. They are planning an ambush. Most are around level 5-15."

Ayeon observed, looking at the shadows behind the trees.

"We're only around level 5-7. The one with the highest chance of beating them is you at the moment."

She adopted a worried expression and informed the other two of the ambush.

"You, Myra and Sabrina can also gain some combat experience from fighting the weaker ones. I'll leave them to you guys?"

Ayeon proposed.

Ayeon had already became level 14 during the past month. If anyone else saw the fast rise in levels, they would be shocked but it wasn't surprising since he had a headstart with initial level five and another six levels from his Divine bloodline, boosting it to 11. Afterwards, the wild beasts on the path towards the Sacred Nurture Academy helped with the last three levels.

He could already fight 5 levels above him due to his body free of all impurities and the fact that it had been strengthened and trained before levelling up.

"Do not hesitate when given a chance to kill them. Sometimes, the consequences of not killing your enemy could go so far as to r*pe you if you were a female and the death of all your family members. Remember this. It's a crucial fact in a world where strong prey on the weak!"

Ayeon warned before exiting the carriage.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, his figure vanished.

On the bandit side.

"Huh? That boy... where did he go? He just stepped out and vanished in thin air like a ghost!"

Bandit 1 murmured, hiding on top of a tree, observing the carriage.

"Ohh, a ghost, huh?"

A cold voice was heard behind him.

The bandit quickly turned around, unsheating his sword but before he could do so, he felt a warmth spreading from his heart. He looked down only to see a purple and black sword stabbed through his heart.

"Y-you.. stand no chance.. against our leader.."

The Bandit threw up blood before dropping to the ground.

"That depends on his skill and power."

Ayeon indifferently replied to the now dead bandit before vanishing from the spot, wielding his bloodline weapon.
