Monarch of Darkness

Levi said, "It has been three days already. All the major warriors of our clan have departed to White Orchid forest.

I have learned this information about queen Brianna day before yesterday,when some warriors got injured by magical beasts. No one has told your mother about it yet.

But you don't need to worry. All big warriors have left to assist first queen. Even clan chief has left to forest. Clan chief will definitely bring her back and slay the enemies."

Evan said,"Let's hope clan chief will success to bring aunt back."

Levi nodded and said,

" We can't do anything about it. If I had a higher cultivation base, I could have joined our warriors. Ok,then I am going to my place. Don't think too much. After all you have not started your path of magical warrior yet. If you need me for anything,look for me in my place. Bye."

Evan looked at the silhouette of Levi who was departing from his palace. He murmured,

"I wonder what is the situation. If it was three days before, I couldn't have done anything. But now after opening my Meridians, I can't sit back in this situation. I will move after sunset."

Then Evan went outside and looked for the leader of guards who were guarding his palace. He walked towards a middle aged warrior who seemed like the leader of Sylvia clan guards.

The middle aged guard saw Evan approaching and smiled slightly. He asked,

"Young prince, Can I help you with something?"

Evan smiled and replied,"Uncle,can you get a sword for me?"

The middle aged guard slightly surprised and said,"Prince,Why are you behaving so polite?

I can get one for you from our weapon storehouse. There you can choose weapon of your liking."

Evan nodded and asked,"Can we go now?"

The middle aged guard nodded and led Evan outside towards Sylvia clan weapon storehouse.

Behind them remaining guards watched as Evan and their leader go outside.

One of the guard said, "Prince Evan is such a good boy. You can't find any prince or princess with such good behavior.

He always behaves politely with everyone in our clan and he has high talent for magical cultivation.

If Our king didn't face that ambush,then now Prince Evan could have got more care as the sole prince of thousand sword kingdom."

All the guards agreed with this statement and some of them sighed. No one knew how fate toyed with mortals. Prince of a grand kingdom,today had to ask for a mere sword.

They knew Evan didn't feel bad because for him Sylvia clan was his home but guards felt bad for him.

But being a well-mannered child was completely natural in case of Evan. Olivia was such a gentle and loving mother,how could Evan not become well-mannered. Even after awakening his soul,when Evan got his previous memories back, personality of Evan didn't change.

In his past life, although Evan was the talented genius Young prince of Eternal Moon Kingdom,he was very amiable in nature.

Devils loved to fight and violent in nature. But Evan spent his time in library .He hated battle and killing.

As a young child,he only wanted to gain more knowledge about this world. He enjoyed reading stories about soul stirring stories of devil ancestors and their heaven defying powers.

So,Evan who never knew nothing about complex nature of power struggle,very straightforward and simple although he was a young prince of devils.

He always behaved well in front of Sylvia clan members because he knew Sylvia clan members were very simple and always treated his family well.

Evan saw a one storied building of medium size in distance. He entered with the middle aged guard. A old man with wrinkled face was in charge of this place. He looked at the middle aged guard and Evan. A smile came to his face.

"Young Prince have you started practicing weapons?" He asked. Evan nodded and said,

"Grandpa,Can you show me the swords ?"

The old man smiled and led Evan inside. Inside the building,there were many rooms. The old man led Evan into a medium sized room.

That room was filled with different types of swords. There were Falchions with curved ends. Short swords were plenty in number.

Some sharp looking scimitars placed orderly in a corner. Long swords were gleaming with sharpness and they were placed inclined to walls while their hilts touching the ground.

Evan looked around and choose a slender looking short sword. The sword was very thin and translucent in colour.

When Evan swung the sword,the air seemed to be sliced apart. The sword felt very flexible and nimble. Evan nodded in satisfaction. He looked at the old man in charge of weapon storehouse and spoke,

"I will take it then."

The old man smiled and said,"Take good care of it,Prince. It is not a ordinary sword. It is a magical weapon of past generation."

The middle aged guard who stood nearby, felt surprised for a moment but later he calmed down.

He thought it was normal that their prince could get a magical weapon despite his young age. Although magical weapons were not cheap and he only had one of lower grade, their prince could have got more powerful weapons if he was in thousand sword kingdom.

Evan left with the middle aged guard after bading farewell to the old man of weapon storehouse. Then he went into his palace and closed the door of his room .

Evan channeled darkness energy through the short sword. The sharp edges of the sword gleamed with darkness energy,generating a devilish black luster. Evan started swinging the sword from different angles. Sometime he stabbed and sometime held it in defensive posture.

Time flew and soon light of Sun dimmed down.It was a moonless light.

Darkness reigned supreme in the sky in the absence of gentle moon light.

Evan slid past the guards and entered the White Orchid forest. It was not his first time in forest. Previously he had sneaked out here with Levi. But they had only entered edges of forest and it was day times. Now he was entering the forest in night.

In a distance chriping of a strange bird could be heard,as if it was welcoming the darkness with it's strange shout. Evan could only listen sound of his own footsteps except the strange sounds from nearby.

Evan felt many eyes prying into his location and his heartbeat fastened.
