While smiling at Peter, Minos suddenly noticed that the young man sitting in front of him had a severe expression on his face. He then watched him for a mont and then asked. "If you want to say sothing, just say it."
"About that..." Peter was saying when he blew out a breath and then continued. "Actually, I wanted to talk about why I was not in any noble family in the Kingdom of the Waves..."
"Oh?" Minos exclaid in surprise. He had known Peter for more than two months, but Peter had never explained that part of his past.
Minos even had a little curiosity to know about it. After all, which families in the north of the Central Continent were not search talented young people like him?
But he hadn't asked anything. Each had their own affairs, and it was not Minos' right to talk about sothing that had nothing to do with him. If Peter wanted to speak, he would make that decision himself!
"Well, it all started when I was still in the spiritual academy. At that ti, I had a very close friend. However, when we did our talent tests, everything changed..."
"We both had Black talent and were soon contacted by large noble families who wanted to support us, but unfortunately, a certain person appeared that day." Peter stopped for a mont while squeezing his right hand tightly.
He then continued. "That person was one of the princes of the Kingdom of the Waves, Charles Walker. Although he is the youngest of the three princes in the kingdom, he can be considered the most talented. Because of this, since his early years of cultivating, he got everything he wanted in the kingdom..."
"And at this point, he wanted us to go to his side. He searched for more power, so bringing two youths with a Black talent to his side seed like a good idea. And we both went to his side. However, it only lasted two years..." Peter said in a calm voice while closing his eyes and rembering what had happened.
"That was when Ava started showing her feminine skills... She was getting more and more beautiful and could even be considered a rare beauty after a few years. And it was at this point that the prince fell in love with her..."
"The prince is four years older than us, and he already had his 'amorous' experiences at that ti. When he saw that the young Ava was getting more and more graceful, he wanted her to stay by his side. When she turned 15 and beca an adult, he could finally get what he wanted..."
Human beings reached maturity at 15 years of age in the Spiritual World. By this ti, they would already be considered adults by most people and would have their own responsibilities.
"It was at this point that the problems started. We made great friends, and the prince didn't want another man around her." He stopped for a mont and then continued. "As far as I know, Ava didn't have that kind of feeling for , but because of the prince's excessive jealousy, he thought there was sothing more between us. He started to think that I was the stone in his path."
"And like many spoiled young people in this world, he already saw the person he was in love with as his wife... But to earn Ava's dowry, he, at the sa ti, had to get rid of , his biggest 'competitor', while avoiding being hated by her. With that, he set up a sche against . He used an excuse to expel from the royal family while prohibiting any other power from the Kingdom of the Waves from accepting ."
"Not only that, he threatened to kill my whole family if I contacted Ava again in the future... It was after that that I t the old man who helped with so techniques." Peter finished speaking while looking closely at Minos. He wanted to know if this was a problem for the young Stuart.
After all, who was the young Charles? A prince with a good chance of becoming a king!
As a result, enmity with a possible future king would be very dangerous, especially for soone Minos had just t. For Peter, the young Stuart was incredible for being able to fight with those of higher level and was very 'cool' for giving up the chance to go to an empire.
But he did not think that Minos did this because he did not need the help of an empire. For him, the young Stuart probably just wanted to live in peace while ruling his own land.
He had an excellent proficiency in fighting. By the ti he reached the Spiritual King stage, he would probably be one of the strongest in northern Central Continent. With that, Minos could dominate this place for a long ti without worrying about the dangers that he could have going to an empire.
He then said calmly. "This could be a problem for the Black Plain since I ca here..."
Minos smiled. "Well, it's good to know, but it won't make any difference to whether he's a prince or a king. As for problems, this guy is nothing, considering my current enemies..."
Minos had to worry every day about strengthening his forces because sooner or later, he would have to deal with the Silva family and even the entire Brown Kingdom.
It was only a matter of ti before news of what happened on the Black Plain spread. At this ti, fighting a war would be inevitable.
Minos was not the type of person who worked hard, just for soone else to reap his rewards!
For this reason, he had been counting on a widespread war for the dominance of the Black Plain since he started his plans. Hell, even other kingdoms in the region might want a slice!
After all, until recently, the lands of the Black Plain were thrown back and forth within the Brown Kingdom, without anyone wanting this place. Thus, invading this place could be an attractive idea for the two adjacent kingdoms...
Anyway, Minos had to deal with the imminent danger of dozens of Spiritual Kings. Therefore, soone of the caliber of the third prince of the Kingdom of the Waves did not enter his eyes.
After hearing Minos' response, Peter was surprised. He did not think that this young man in front of him had worse enemies than his own!
'Did Minos irritate so noble families halfway to the Cromwell Kingdom?' Peter thought to himself. He rembered how the young Stuart had killed Leroy without any rcy. 'Maybe he's talking about the Chambers family? But this power is no stronger than the royal family of the Kingdom of the Waves...'
"You don't have to worry about that. You can travel and bring your family here. And it won't be long, and you can get over this guy yourself, hehehe." Minos said, laughing.
After that, the two said goodbye. Peter wanted to leave today, as the trip to his city would take almost two months just to go!
The Kingdom of the Waves was the largest kingdom in the area in the entire northern region of the Central Continent, and Peter's hotown was almost at the north end of that place. With that, the sooner he left, the better it would be for his family.
...
A few days passed in the Black Plain, and today the wall of the Dry City was finally finished!
It surrounded the city's entire area, hiding much of this land behind its 15-ter high walls. In this wall, there were four checkpoints, where the soldiers of the Black Plain Army would regulate the entry and exit of people and goods from this city.
At the top of the wall, there was also an ample space where soldiers could patrol the city's surroundings. This was sothing that needed to be done since so invaders could try to enter the city through different parts of this great wall!
Anyway, when this project was completed, Minos, the butler Dillian, and several other nas in charge of the city ca to the inauguration of this place.
During the opening, not only were these people celebrating this achievent for the city, but Minos' subordinates were also very happy that the butler Dillian had gone up to level 48!
This was great news for all of them since Dillian was very close to becoming a Spiritual King. This would be a milestone for any territory since it demonstrated the power of a place in this part of the continent.
...
While the people in the Dry City celebrated the conclusion of the construction of the city's wall, the three investigators of the Silva family were already back in the Mariti City!
"You two, let's rest for a day and leave tomorrow. Hopefully, we will get to the Dry City in two more days..." The woman who led the group said with a smile on her face.
