The young princess might look calm and cool, but deep down, she was suffering multiple shocks, otherwise, she would've known what to do now .
Kieran stood up and placed his palm over her head .
"James needs a funeral . You need a coronation . Warren has lost its old king, and now it needs a new one . It's already damaged severely, so it can't suffer any further unexpected changes," Kieran said softly .
"Um . "
Mary slightly tilted her head down, preventing Kieran from having a clear look at her face .
"I have a blurry impression of my father . He only existed in books and my mother never spoke about him, so I don't even know whether my mother loved him or not . I don't know if I should love him or hate him as well . Even when we met, I just treated him as his "heir" like according to everyone's will . A person like me should heave a breath of relief after knowing that he wasn't truly himself, but why do I feel so bad?" The young princess tried her best at speaking in a calm tone but Kieran clearly heard sobbing .
"Because that's…blood . No matter the time, place or death, blood cannot be severed . It made you feel bad, feel sad for him and it also let you know, you are not alone, not as empty as you think . "
Kieran squatted down and looked into Mary's teary, red eyes . His hand carefully, softly caressed the corner of her eyes before standing up .
He then continued placing his hand over Mary's head .
"B-but, I don't want to be sad," Mary said softly .
"This is the reality, it's always cruel . Whether you accept it or not, it will always teach you in the worst way possible until you know of its existence . What's reality anyway?" Kieran sighed .
"It's a despicable, cruel existence . " The small voice turned dimmer until it was a mumble .
"Yes . It's despicable and cruel, that's why we need to be strong . Remember when you asked me before what true strength is?" Kieran suddenly asked .
"Remember . " The young princess nodded .
"I think you can add one more for yourself: the reason that you are strong is that you want to have the ability to reject sadness in times of need," Kieran said seriously .
"The reason that I am strong is that I want to have the ability to reject sadness in times of need?" The young princess looked up .
She looked at Kieran with a smile . She nodded .
Some sayings were better understood in the earlier stages of life .
Some things were best not experienced throughout one's life .
If you have to, then…
Be prepared because it will hurt you like hell .
. . .
Kieran didn't stay long in the secondary tea room .
Mary needed her alone time, as it was for her own growth .
As for James' funeral and Mary's coronation?
It wasn't for him to worry about .
The ceremony officer of the palace would take care of it all .
Kieran would just watch quietly at the side and deal with the possible happenings .
[The Secret From 20 Years Ago] was stated clearly, and he would not forget it, similar to how he would never forget to check his loot .
[Name: Fire Shower]
[Type: Book]
[Rarity: II]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: Able to learn Raven Sect Ultimate, Fire Shower, after reading]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Prerequisite: Mystical Knowledge (Raven Sect, Grand Master)]
[Remark: It isn't complete, it's broken but it can't be denied as Raven Sect's ultimate . Each generation's Crown Raven would do their best to perfect this technique and it's also one of the necessary missions for every generation]
. . .
The dark golden scroll made Kieran squint his eyes .
When he had seen the amount of glow on the item, he knew his loot would be substantial but he never thought it would be this massive .
"Raven Sect Ultimate?" Kieran couldn't help but curl the corner of his lips into a grin .
Despite it being remarked as broken and incomplete, it was enough to make him happy .
He would never underestimate an organization's ace card that had been inheriting itself for a few hundred years .
Moreover, Raven Sect was obviously a controller of fire .
Kieran also had a fiery build and could manipulate fire .
Using Devil Flame to complete Raven Sect Ultimate…
Whenever he thought about the prospect, his anticipation would skyrocket .
Of course, in order for that day to come faster, he had to quickly get his hands on [Mystical Knowledge (Raven Sect)] and level it up to Grand Master level .
It wouldn't be easy but the fortunate thing was that he had many candidates to teach him .
"Get me Maxim . " Kieran spoke to the shadow in his room .
Jyaichi, one of Kieran's dominated natives, quickly vanished from the room .
Although there were many candidates, who else was better than Raven Sect's own recorder, Maxim? None in Kieran's memory .
The waiting time was particularly long .
Kieran was patient though and didn't feel restless at all, especially when there was someone there to accompany him .
Dok, Dok Dok .
"Come in . "
A man in a blue robe with blue hair, bare feet, and eyes as clear as water slowly walked in .
Although he couldn't see and it was the first time he entered Kieran's room, he didn't run into any obstacles or walk clumsily . He entered and stopped a meter in front of Kieran .
Kieran looked at the man in surprise .
Back in the forest when he encountered Aqua Ape, Kieran had utilized his speed to shake Aqua Ape off due to Crown Raven's sudden appearance .
So it was natural that Aqua Ape would pursue him .
Kieran believed what happened just now was all "visible" to Aqua Ape, but given the situation and the fact that he still dared to appear before Kieran, it was a thing worth ruminating .
Neither of them was friendly by any means, they could even be considered enemies .
Given the relationship, Aqua Ape must have some other goals for appearing before Kieran like this .
Kieran was almost certain but he didn't speak first, instead waiting for Aqua Ape .
As for Aqua Ape?
He, too, was extremely patient .
Both of them stared at each other, one standing, one sitting .
Time flew .
When footsteps were heard outside, Aqua Ape, who didn't want to encounter outsiders, finally spoke first .
"Prime Viper . Me, help . "Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
Short words that could cause one to furrow his or her brows .
After that, Aqua Ape transformed into water and slipped away .
Kieran, who sat on the sofa, seemed to have thought of something .
