The two travelers have now reached their destination , a great castle , with maids and guards all around on their duty , serving and guarding , what a genius of an architect has desined this building ! Shiro whispered to himself quietly as he was stunned , it was like he entered this new world again for the first time , Sofia Smiled as she heard what he said and replied , The Best In The Kingdom Of course , It's The King's Castle after all , Afterwards Shiro proceeded to ask , and Why Is Everyone Bowing As We Walk through this beautiful castle ?I thought I already told you that I am from a noble family as well as myself being on of this country's generals , she chuckeled as she stroke her hair back with her Hand ,it is Normal For Them to show such respect , Sofia Said in A Trippy way while blushing , you're just full of surprises huh , Intresting , Really intresting Said Shiro with a smug face then he thought to himself , Ah Damn , She's really cute when she's blushing and they both walked as he followed her lead while looking at her Then he cut the silence in their march by saying sorry if I'm being too bothersome with my questions but who do you think will help me get information about this world , She replied and said , everything in its time boy , now we proceed to see the king , Okay , Sorry , He said , They Then Continued Walking Until They Reached a Grand Door Made Of silver and Gold , four guards stood before it , Open Up We're Here to see the King , Sofia Said With All the might and power , the guards seemed to shiver for a bit from her appearance , One of them said , Welcome Back , General Sofia L. Rose , And .. who might that be in your company M'Lady , None Of Your Buisiness , Go Inform The King Of my return , I'd Like to give my report , the guard then went in for a while and got back outside as he said , The King Allows Your Entry , You and Your Boyfriend here , She Sort of lost her Imperturbability For a while as she blushed and said loudly , HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND , Shiro Then Smiled painfully and proceeded to say , You Heard The Lady I'm Not Her boyfriend , then he thought to himself , damn , friendzoned already , oops , guess the fate god of this world already hates me , but after all aren't we gonna die in the end anyway and No in case you're wondering not in this book , damn lazy writer still in the -the 7th chapter and making me break the 4th wall , it doesn't matter now ,does it ? , get used to it , afterwards Sofia Noticed he was floating around in his thoughts again , she lightly knocked on his forehead and told him to follow her once again , they both went into the Throne room , The Court of the King , It Was A Vast Chamber , With a Wide red carpet surrounded By roses and two thrones in the top middle part of the room , near The bigger throne that was The king's there was a golden goblet full of shiny fine red wine and beside him a silver slightly smaller throne , as expected it was the queen's , Sofia Kneelt Down before her king and so Shiro Followed Her , The King was surprisingly young , most probably in his 20s and so was the queen who was a beauty that He has never seen before , well , that if you ignore the beauty that Sofia Had , the King had a long green hair , he sat with all might a crown on his head , wearing fine clothes of silk , fine , but not too exagerated , he was holding his Queen's Hand , The queen had a beautiful long scarlet coloured hair , so young and so pretty , her body was in great shape , she looked so elegent , she had a plate of sweets on a small table near her . Sofia Then Shouted ,General Sofia L. Rose Has Returned , My King , For the investigation of the abnormal monster increase and the progress of the legions of demons , I feel sorry to tell you we haven't found anything useful , although , we encountred some Lesser dragons and several magical monsters , which of course caused no trouble , The King then stood up from his gigantic throne and said in all a smug face , you're still stuck to formalities aren't you , girl we are practically siblings , we were friends since our birth , you started acting weird since I was crowned King then he slightly laughed , Sofia Then Said , But My King.. To Which the King Interupted , No Buts , Consider It an Order , and what have I been telling you about calling Me By "King" all the time I have a name , use it , Call Me Arthur , Hey Hey Hey wait , now that's Just lazy writing ! can't you be more creative in naming? god of this world my ass , Shiro said smashing the fourth wall once again , To which I , the author , replied , well , no more 4th wall mojo for you Shiro , although I will take that into consideration in the future, good idea , Meanwhile The King Stared at Shiro and said in chuckles, Ohoho I can see the Ice Queen Got Herself A Fresh New Prince , And Who Might You Be , Boy? Shiro Stuttered For A Bit Then And Said , My king , My Name Is Shiroi Jigoku , I'm what your people call a commoner , and I have a memory loss, the last thing I remember Is Being Found By Sofia On A Cliff surounded By Huge Beasts , Sofia Saved My Life , I Think I was A Mere Minor Merchant , I Bumped My Head On A Rock as I fell down That cliff and lost all my memories , well not all of them , but most , The King Then Burst off laughing and said Excuse My Laughter and My behaivior , that's just too funny of a story , seems like I got things wrong , Sofia is Your Prinscess in Shining Armor , Sofia Then Blushed and Said , No one is no one's prince or princess he did save me too when I was about to die but don't mind the details , now if you'd excuse me Arthur I have familial matters to tend to , Alright Then , dismissed , but about You Shiro , I can call you Shiro right? You don't mind if you stayed for a bit right? the king then walked to Shiro and Stared at him , Not At All My King , Shiro said in all confidence , Ah and You Can call me Arthur Too , Friend Of My Friend is a friend of mine , Arthur said while putting his hand on Shiro's Shoulder , As For the Knowlege Sofia mentioned You are seeking , You might find something in the Court's library , I'll command someone to take you to it later , I'll be joining you too as I want to have a quick read , Shiro then Replied , Thank You So Much my King , Arthur , I'll use that which you have offered me , Shiro was thinking to himself , it would be hard to deny a King's Request after all even tho I prefer to wander the city and asking around in the way , can I even read their language ? before long Shiro reached the court's Library and Wandered in as his companion left , He slowly delved deeper into the huge Library countaining Gazillions of books on shelves Which were made of pure smelling dark wood , with chairs that are so comfortable and little tables made out of glass and wood ,as He entered saw and read a sentence "Knowlege Is The True Treasaure Of Every Civilization , Behave , In The Presence Of The Gods Of Knowlege" From Reading this sentence Shiro was relieved knowing he can read this world's language with ease somehow , all and all , it was time for learning more about such a wonderful world , He learned that This world was built and found by a mysterious power named the Zoriash Magic , by a creature that was Known as The Great Mage , Zora , from which the name of the magic came , Nobody knows wether Zora Was a Monster , A Demon Or A God , All That the People Knew stated that he was the creator of such a vast new world , that he was so powerful , Zora Left A Symbol For 1 of his Followers , Which Granted Him Zora's Power , The First Apprentice , The First Inheritor Of Zora's Legacy , And The first ,and The Only Known Apprentice was a wise man , afraid of being tempted and corrupted by his power he used it to free the Kingdom From The corruption of The Monster King Infernus and Made It A Kingdom for safe for all existing races to come and leave in peace and Harmony , he Became the first King , Some Event occured that no one knew the details of , and The King Dissapeared leaving the Kingdom to a Good noble Family to become Kings and Queens and rule justly the Land which he built he left a profecy , That only one Of his True Blood Shall Return and Be able to unlock The tomb in which he sealed the Key to the Universe , The absolute Knowlege and Wisdom , Zora's Legacy , But Everything In This Story Was considered a Legend By The people although , and an interesting dream of scholars and seekers of knowledge , there was the sealed tomb but it was used as a mere historical monument , as it couldn't be destroyed nor opened for it has no doors nor windows , a mere garmented block of stone , it is said in the book that he was reading that it maybe contains otherwordly knowledge , which clicked immediatly in Shiro's mind , the word otherwordly , he didn't give it much thought tho , After Shiro Learned About the lore of the land he proceded to study about the Power itself , The Zoriash Magic , He Spent Many hours reading books about the history and the usage of Magic , It was pretty much what Sofia explained plus some ways to Control The Mana easily for begginer magi , as he was deep into reading , focus mode per say , he felt a hand on his shoulder and heard a familiar voice ringing , not many commoners are intrested all that much in Magic and the History of it , perhaps you were a scholar and a merchant huh , It Was the King , Shiro Then Chuckled and Said The More I know The better Right? and wouldn't being a scholar be interesting too , the king then spoke again , well be glad you haven't forgot how to read as well , that would've been a real issue , especially for a scholar merchant , I'm sorry I sent you to a library just assuming you can read , Shiro then Answred it's a no problem Arthur I was surprised as well , Arthur Smiled and Said , Care For a Discussion about what you read ? I'm The king of this country meaning one of my duties is to be the keeper of the sacred Library and its book so I know Quite well about many things , discussing with fellow scolars always intrests me , Shiro then replied , It would be an honour , and I'd be glad if you let me tap into your pond of knowledge , Then He thought to Himself I wasn't being humble there , the more I know the better , After All , This Is a New Beginning , I have to make the Most Of It , You don't always find yourself in a new world with unknown powers and an interesting History , Shiro spent hours in his conversation with the king and chatting about every little detail and at times just talking in a friendly way , it was such a satisfiying conversation , Shiro wasn't at the lower bottom of the pit of knowlege , as a matter of fact he was quite educated in all fantasy related matters since he read so much novels , watched so much anime and played a whole lotta games , it was similar , so he could easily understand the new concepts and make conclusions , he had his share of information to share and contribute to the discussion , the king too , was very educated , as expected , he taught Shiro about a lot of stuff forgeting the social diffrences and only focusing on knowlege and information , they both were excited to share and learn , as they finished the king stood up and held both Shiro's Shoulders and looked at him then said , I'm afraid I have matters to tend to as you know a King does what a King could to make things even a little bit better and manage the country , too much work , It was a pretty amusing to share this discussion , definetly benificial , you are a smart gentelman , I like You Shiro , From Now on we're fellow scholars , and friends bound by love of knowledge , which is as I may or may not have mentioned is sacred around here , but keep that a secret when you go to town , recently there have been some lurkers in the shadows that hate The royal family because they think we're frauds and unworthy rulers of the land , since the history states clearly that we first were but a mere noble family granted the right to rule by the first apprentice , fools are considering it to be a lie , anyway , take care of yourself , and do not hesitate to look for me when you need help with anything , you seem eager to go out and see the world again from your new eye of oblivion , I'll find someone to escort you to the gates and if needed they could stay with you for protection , so long my friend until we meet again , Shiro then smiled and Said , So Long Arthur ,thanks a lot for your help , also showing me the gates would be more than enough , He went on his way not knowing what to do but as the King stated he was eager to explore so , he decided it's about time he visits the so called , tomb monument and see that piece of history for himself , maybe it led to secrets on how he got to this new world , but first , he has to learn more about life in the land and earning a living , and so his story begins .
