Chapter 173: The Eldest Prince

Wyba awakened after some minutes, and she was feeling well, so Aiwai finally relaxed although she couldn’t avoid thinking in the reasons for that sudden fever.

The synchronization between Yale and Wyba was a secret, and the same was the fact that Yale had two different bloodlines, so there was no way Yale could tell it to Aiwai. Knowing that would only provoke more problems for her.

After all, Wyba didn’t understand anything of that, so there was no way others could obtain information from her, but if Yale told it to Aiwai and someone managed to obtain the information from her, the three of them would be in danger because having two bloodlines and being able to synchronize bloodlines were far too strange.

Moreover, Aiwai adopted them as her siblings because they had the same bloodline, so if Yale suddenly appeared to have a Time Freezing Wolf bloodline instead of the Frost Winged Wolf bloodline to hide the fact he had two bloodlines, Aiwai would be depressed.

Based on Yale’s understanding, there was no reason for Wyba having a fever when he activated his Time Bloodline, but Yale also knew that his understanding about bloodlines wasn’t perfect even with his knowledge being better than everyone else in the Anpaes Kingdom.

The next morning, Yale contacted Sebe to ask for a meeting with the king in order to report the discoveries in the bloodline research. Although usually, a commoner wouldn’t have a chance to meet the king, Yale had a special status and the topic was something the king had high interest to know.

Thus, Yale managed to obtain permission to meet with the king three days later in the afternoon. Although it may seem that the king was making Yale wait a lot, for a king making him wait just three days was a short time.

After all, a king had a reputation as the leader of the kingdom, and he couldn’t meet commoners easily without reason, so if he accepted to meet a commoner immediately, people would start to suspect that there was something strange in that commoner.

Making Yale wait just three days would also create some rumors, but given that Yale was a good friend from Sebe and that Aiwai worked as a healer in the palace, it would be easier to understand.

That same day, Yale used the time while Aiwai was working to force Wyba to sleep in order to test the problems with the bloodline. Yale felt that understanding well the bloodline reaction was important for the future, but as he didn’t want Wyba to suffer, putting her to sleep was a better option; with the medicine that Yale gave to her, she wouldn’t be able to awaken for some hours even if she suffered fever or pain.

Yale activated the Time Bloodline, and Wyba’s body started to react with a fever, there was no doubt that the Time Bloodline provoked the fever.

Yale tried to block his Frost Winged Wolf bloodline and leave active just the Time Bloodline because he thought that maybe Wyba was having a bad reaction to having two bloodlines active at the same time.

However, the results were even worse than with both bloodlines at the same time. At that moment, if Wyba had been conscious, she would have directly fallen unconscious due to the pain.

Yale activated the Frost Winged Wolf bloodline again, and the pain in Wyba’s body disappeared leaving only the fever, and after deactivating the Time Bloodline, Wyba’s body returned to her normal state.

Yale was puzzled with those reactions, but he could only think that the reason for the bad reaction should be that Wyba was originally a beast, but based on his understanding, the Time Bloodline shouldn’t be incompatible even in that case.

“Maybe the problem is really that others can’t support having two bloodlines at the same time, but Wyba’s body would still suffer if she lost her beast bloodline.”

Yale tested the change of bloodlines again and discovered that Wyba’s body was suffering extreme pain when Yale used only the Time Bloodline, but that fever disappeared completely. At that moment he was sure that there were two different problems and not just one.

Yale guessed that the problem of having two bloodlines was something that would affect anyone and that he was the exception. On the other hand, as Wyba was a beast, Yale thought that she needed to have always a beast bloodline active.

Yale didn’t like his deductions, because that would mean that there was no way to avoid Wyba from feeling bad every time he needed to use the Time Bloodline.

Yale felt depressed by that conclusion, but he was determined to find a method to help Wyba, although he still didn’t know how to start.

Two days later there was a shocking news in the capital; the eldest prince had returned from an expedition he made into some ancient ruins.

The group that returned was far smaller than the original one, but everyone had a huge increase in strength, in particular, the eldest prince who had advanced to Rank 9 after been stuck in the Grandmaster Rank for a lot of time till the point that he looked older than his own father.

The eldest prince was extremely old, he had lived more than seventeen thousand years, and he had a lot of children of different ages with a lot of them already dead from old age. There was an incredible difference of age between him and Sebe who was the youngest prince due to the fact the king had lived for an extremely long time.

If he was judged by mortal standards, he looked like a seventy-year-old man. After advancing he wouldn’t age more for a lot of time since his lifespan doubled, but there was no way to recover a youthful look.

Disregarding his looks, the notice that the kingdom had another Rank 9 expert besides the king was a great news for the kingdom; some people were even saying that he would be the king’s successor.

However, other people thought that the current king was better and there was no need to find a successor. The eldest prince was well known due to long time he had been in the Anpaes Kingdom, but a lot of people didn’t like him just because he was the oldest prince. Although his personality wasn’t bad, he was a bellicose who loved to rule with an iron fist; he was someone who killed or crippled his servants for any fault.

Moreover, he was the one who always asked for a war with the Zuatania Republic to exterminate the humans and reclaim their territory, so the ones who wanted war supported him, but those who wanted to live peaceful lives didn’t like him.

After all, even though almost everyone hated humans, most were just happy living without needing to have any relationship with them; they didn’t want a war and just wanted to live peacefully in the capital.

The palace announced a great party for the next day and Yale was told that his meeting with the king would be after the party finished. Yale didn’t mind about meeting the king a bit later, but he didn’t have any intentions to participate in the party. The upper zone of the city where Yale lived was also included in the party as everyone had some relationship with the royalty; thus Yale could attend it, but he disliked that kind of events.

Yale wasn’t the only one who disliked that kind of events, the same applied for Wyba and Aiwai, but Aiwai was forced to attend. Although skipping a party like that could be allowed for kids like Yale and Wyba, Aiwai would leave a bad impression if she skipped that celebration as she was an adult and someone who worked for the palace.

The next day, the whole upper part of the city was full of people celebrating the advancement of the eldest prince, everyone had a relationship with the royalty, so the security was incredible due to the fact the eldest prince’s guards had taken the responsibility of protecting everyone.

Those who survived to come back with the eldest prince had turned extremely strong, the weakest of them was Rank 7, and there were some of them at Rank 8, everyone wondered what kind of benefit they obtained in those ancient ruins.

“Sir Yale! Prince Sebe had just told me that with our current level of security I don’t need to work today. No matter how I insisted on working, I was forced to accept resting today to enjoy the party.”

Shirk didn’t think that something bad could happen that day because the security was the best possible, but he still reported it to Yale as Yale had told him to report any time the situation happened.

Yale also thought that the vision should be for another day because with those extremely powerful servants from the eldest prince protecting everyone it was a bad day to attack the city, but while thinking about those powerful guards, his face changed.
