Monarch of Darkness - Chapter 126

“Evan!

Evan!

It is the little prince”, the Sylvia clan group chirped excitedly. Evan also felt happy after seeing the excitement of the group. “Looks like they are more excited than me for this event”, Evan pondered inside his mind as he approached the Sylvia clan group.

“Evan”, Levi called out after Evan neared their group. “I have never thought that you guys will come. Welcome to the royal palace”, Evan said with a chuckle.

He went up to Levi and Sophie and greeted them personally. Then he called a nearby guard to led them to a palace. “Sister Sophie, come with me. Aunt will be happy to see you in the moon palace”, Evan smiled at Sophie who was looking at him shyly.

“Levi go ahead and take a rest first. I will come to catch up with you and others after a while”.

“Sister Sophie, come with me”, Evan smiled at the blushing Sophie. Although outsiders were not allowed to enter moon palace, Sophie was an exception. She was going to be his wife and considering the relationship between his family and the Sylvia clan, Sophie was always welcome to enter the moon palace.

“Stop calling me sister. I am not talking with you”, Sophie snorted. Evan could see a faint trace of anger and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

“Sister Sophie?”, Evan looked at her with confusion. “Little girl, stop throwing tantrum at him”, Brianna laughed from a distance.

Evan had already felt the arrival of his aunt. He became more confused after listening to his aunt. “Sister Sophie is so dependable. Why is she throwing tantrum suddenly?”, Evan pondered inside his mind.

“Little girl. Come with me. Evan you can go and catch up with others”, Brianna spoke while approaching them from a distance.

The faint anger in Sophie evaporated as she blushed deeply. “Damn it! This dumb Evan. Now aunt Brianna is also making fun of me”, she thought inside his mind.

Evan saw Sophie leaving with his aunt. He felt relieved and walked towards the place where the Sylvia clan group was staying. “It is becoming more hard to talk with her. I wonder what is happening!”, Evan thought inside his mind while he was in his way.

“Levi, come with me. The palace is more fun than you think”, a lean Sylvia clan boy spoke. He was looking at a tall and slender teenager who was standing outside the palace.

“Ralph, don’t bother me. I prefer to stay outside”, the tall and slender teenager replied without turning back. His gaze was focused on the distant mountain where the ancestral palace of Jackson family located.

“Ok, do whatever you want”, Ralph shook his head and returned to the palace.

“Levi, you have not changed at all”, Evan chuckled as he witnessed the whole scene through his soul consciousness. It didn’t take him long to reach the palace where everyone from Sylvia clan was staying.

“Levi”, Evan shouted as he went towards Levi. “You turned up rather early”, Levi smiled as he looked at Evan.

“Evan, you have grown tall”, Levi commented after checking Evan for a bit.

“You are also not bad yourself. I guess you have already managed to wake up a trace of your bloodline”, Evan replied with a grin.

“There is nothing that can be hidden from you. Yes, I have managed to awaken a trace of my bloodline while I was in Bluespear academy”, Levi admitted while smiling.

“Anyway, you are also not bad yourself. I heard you faced a dangerously condition while you were in Northpeak city. It must have been rough for you”, Levi looked at Evan with concern.

“Who cares? As long as it makes me stronger”, Evan grinned at Levi. A hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of Levi as he felt abacked by the words of Evan but a smile appeared in his face after few seconds.

“Hehe, Well said. Who cares as long as we can be strong”.

“Evan, what is your cultivation now?”, Levi asked with curiousity.

“Late stage Meridian opening realm. A stage lower than you”, Evan replied with a grin.

“You can even deduce my cultivation level. You are really a marvel”, Levi spoke with a smile.

“Now, let me ask you something important. What are you planning to do next. I have heard from your ancestor that you are going to the southern part of the continent”, Levi looked at Evan seriously.

“You have met my ancestor?”, Evan asked with slight surprise in his eyes. He knew his ancestor was planning to hide his identity from others. So, he felt slight surprise by the words of Levi.

“Don’t be surprised by this. He wouldn’t have meet me if I haven’t awakened my bloodline. Moreover, he saw me when I was practicing my sword. He approached me and taught some of his sword skills”, Levi explained.

“Oh, ancestor takes a liking to you. Good for you then”, Evan nodded his head.

“Yes, I am planning to go the Southern part of the continent. But I am planning to breakthrough to Profound transformation realm before heading out”, Evan revealed his plan to Levi.

“What are you planning?”, he turned to Levi. He knew staying in the Thousand swords kingdom would limit the cultivation of Levi. So, he wanted to know what was he thinking about his future.

Evan, can I follow you where you are going? I have already heard about the Southern part of the continent. It is a much better place than the northern part where we are living”, Levi looked at Evan with hope in his eyes.

Evan didn’t answer immediately. He pondered for a while. If it was possible he would love to help Levi as he truly considered him as his friend. But there were many dangers awaited him in his path to grow stronger. Moreover, he knew his destination lied beyond this continent. If possible, he wouldn’t raise a storm here.

While Evan was Pondering, Levi’s face became ashen. He had his entire hope on Evan but now that Evan didn’t answer him directly, he felt horrible.

“Forget it Evan. There is no need to think much”, he spoke in a low voice.

“What are you talking about?”, Evan stopped his pondering and looked at Levi.

“Levi, relax. Listen to me first”, he looked at Levi. The ashen face of Levi changed a bit as he looked at Evan to hear his thoughts.

“Levi, I can take you with me certainly. But only in one condition. You will not involve yourself in my affairs unless you grow stronger. It is not that I have no belief in your power but what I am planning is very dangerous. My goal involves a lot of danger which may threaten your life in any moment”, Evan spoke with a serious voice.

Levi who was feeling horrible as he thought that Evan had no intention help him, felt surprised by the words of Evan.

Evan, I am sorry”, he spoke in a solemn voice. He knew he brought shame to himself by doubting Evan. Actually he was not to blame. Two years of estrangement brought a gap between two. Evan was the illustrious crown prince of Thousand swords kingdom and he was only a commoner with no identity. So, he was slightly skeptical about Evan’s attitude towards him.

“No problem, Levi but you must give me your promise”, Evan replied. He could understand the mental state of Levi.

“Your condition has no problem with me as weakness is a sin in itself but you must tell me what is the cultivation level I must acheive to help you in your things”, Levi asked.

“Minimum Core Condensation realm. It is better if you can reach Nascent soul realm!”, Evan replied.
