Chapter 642 Meeting the King
On the sides of the area were other guards, among them the men who had brought Vicente there.
But there was one person in particular that Vicente couldn\'t help but glimpse as he entered.
\'That man is a Paragon, master.\' Torne had warned him as soon as Vicente had entered that hall.
The Paragon who was standing there had noticed Vicente\'s gaze in his direction the moment the black-haired young man had entered the area and had understood what the young man had noticed.
But Vicente turned his gaze back to the local monarch not long after, turning his attention to the man who had summoned him to this place.
The king and his two most trusted advisors couldn\'t help but stare at Vicente in silence for a moment.
This young man was already a Sky Sovereign!
How old was Vicente? Only 17, and yet he was already on the level of some of the old guys around this hall!
"Your Majesty." Vicente made a respectful gesture with a smile on his face.
"Vicente Fuller, it\'s good to see someone so young and so strong in my kingdom." King Seidel smiled back at Vicente while gesturing with his hands. "It\'s been a long time since I\'ve encountered a young genius like you. But the heavens have not been unfair to my domain. Having someone like you in Scott Province will be very important to us in the future.
But before we talk more about that, are you related to the Fuller family of Chilldale?"
"No, Your Majesty. I just have a surname similar to that family\'s. I don\'t know them." Vicente lied.
The Fuller family of Chilldale was like a plan B for him in case he failed. How could he bring this family into his plan A problems? That would only ruin the alternative he had arranged for Nina and Lauren!
"Really? It\'s a shame, then. In any case, whether or not you\'re part of a traditional family in my kingdom makes no difference." The king became more serious as he raised his tone. "Vicente Fuller, you are a native and citizen of these lands. The kingdom needs your strength, so I hope you won\'t abandon us at this moment of great importance."
Lina was still traveling back to the capital. Traveling by carriage was slower than flying, as Vicente and Rory had done. But she had sent the information to her father about what she had gotten out of her conversations with Vice.
The king knew that Vicente had no intention of becoming a Seidel Kingdom noble, so he had to find another way to at least keep this young man in his lands during the aftermath of The Purification.
"You have a sister to look after, but you also have more growing to do. Don\'t be fooled by your current cultivation. I can help you more than you realize." The king said confidently.
"I look forward to receiving your advice," Vicente said courteously.
The king explained. "I guarantee your sister, Nina Fuller, a place at my Seidel Magical College. As soon as she graduates from the Saltstar City Royal Academy, she can begin her studies at the kingdom\'s main magical training center.
I know that Newton is Nina\'s master, so I\'ll transfer him here, too, so that he can continue to accompany her. I\'ll offer one of my properties in the city for your family to use during her stay in Grandis, and I\'ll put four royal guards at her disposal to ensure her safety.
That\'s what I\'m offering your sister, Vicente. But I\'ll give you much more. As long as you are willing to be in my domains after The Purification, I will give you pertinent information to strengthen you." King Seidel said this with a confident smile on his face.
"I know you and some of your family\'s Sovereigns haven\'t gone out to hunt your pentagrams yet. I\'ll give you information about your next magical essences.
What do you think of that? Can you lend me your strength until we solve the monster problems in the Seidel Kingdom? Don\'t worry. You won\'t have to give up your journey across the continent.
Once the greatest danger has passed, you can continue on to the north of the continent. I know someone as talented as you wouldn\'t waste time living here for long."
The king\'s proposal was quite sensible and tempting. He wasn\'t demanding anything too difficult and was even willing to give Vicente many advantages.
Vicente was even a little surprised by all this as he listened to the king\'s voice, but it made total sense when he thought about it. He would probably become a Paragon in the future, so the king had to start this relationship between them on a positive note.
The logic was simple: If he helped Vicente now, this young man could help him in the future.
Vicente had no problem with exchanging favors. "I\'m interested to hear in more detail what Your Majesty has in mind.
As you may already know, I absorbed vampire blood not long ago. I won\'t be able to use special features for a while, so I want to wait for this period until my hunt.
Some of my companions are still at the peak of their 3rd stage, so I want to give them time to join my group when we leave to hunt our pentagrams. But any information I can get now would be of great help."
King Seidel already knew all this, as Lina\'s group\'s investigation had been very thorough. She had informed him of many things that were obvious and others that she thought were due to her hunches about what she had seen of Vicente in her conversations with him.
And she had gotten a lot right, making the monarch aware of many of Vicente\'s plans.
"I can help your whole group. You want to go hunting when Nina graduates, right? I can help you get information on interesting magical beings for your whole group. Before you leave for the north, you\'ll be moving to my city with her, so I\'ll give you all the most detailed information then.
For now, I can only talk to you about the places of interest to you, Rory and the woman called Sarah.
Have you heard of The Pure Enclave?"
