11 Talk

Ben sits down in the chair next to Luna. "What do you want to talk about, your majesty?" Ben asks. "I have already asked Luna what happened to her. Only now I want to know your side of the story." The king says to Ben. Ben looks from the king to Luna and back.

"Just before I woke up Luna, I had just talked to the world tree…" Ben starts to tell what happened up till the time that the world tree brought them out. "Can I see your soul armament?" The king asks.

"Sure." Ben brings out his soul armor. "That doesn't look like normal armor, the design is so different." The king says while admiring the armor of Ben. "That should be the cause of me coming from a different world." Ben says. "That could be the case." The king says.

"Please don't be offended, but can you bring out your water entity? I need to confirm something." The king asks with a serious face.

You should know that to asks someone to bring out their entity, you're asking to lay out your power before them. The entities don't actually are alive. When you bring out your entity and your entity is attacked and your entity 'dies'.

Your connection with the entity is severed. You lose your entity's power, you will get a severe cultivation backlash and it could even kill you. That is why it is pretty rude to ask someone to bring out their entity.

'Yes, bring me out I also need to talk to him. However, the girl next to you needs to go.' The voice of Water is heard inside Bens head. 'Luna? But why?' Ben asks. 'It will not be safe for her if I come out. I will explain later.' Water says. 'Okay...' Ben says back to Water. "I will only bring out Water. But Luna cannot be here." Ben says to the king.

The king frowns but doesn't complain and says to Luna. "Luna why don't you go cultivate in your room." "But why father, I also want to see his entity." Luna says pleadingly. "I don't know the reason, but he said to me the only way for him to come out is for you to not be here. I'm sorry." Ben explains to Luna. "Humph… you two owe me!" Luna says before stomping out the office.

"Now can you bring your entity out?" The king asks with a face full of seriousness. "Can you first answer my question?" Ben says. The king is taken back. "Ehm… yeah sure." "Why are you all so nice to me? I am a complete stranger that came crashing down on your land. How come?" Ben asks.

The kings' face became serious. "There are three reasons for that, but I cannot tell you the last one. You will find out later. The first one though is because of your potential. You are bound to become a powerhouse in the future. If you are indebted to my kingdom, my kingdom will have an extra layer of protection. Then you would think, why not kill you, right? Well, that has to do with the second reason, that you will find out after you take out your entity." The king says with sincerity.

Ben is now the one to be taken back. He didn't expect such an honest reply. He expected a reply like 'it is the right thing to do'. No one will believe that.

"Thank you for giving me the truth, your majesty. But why not lie?" Ben says slowly. "That has to do with the second reason and the third." The king replies with a small smile. "Right." Ben says. Ben stands up. "I'm going to bring him out now." Ben says. The excited look returns to the face of the king.

A bright blue light illuminates from Ben. An ancient aura fills the room. Blue energy converges in front of Ben and a copy of Ben made of water materializes. The king abruptly stands up and bows. "This insignificant one greets the ancient primordial water. This lowly one asks for forgiveness." The king says with a tone full of reverence.

"If you want my forgiveness you will compensate for everything that your race had done to me." Water says with a sharp tone. The king flinches and bows even deeper. "Yes, of course. We will compensate for everything." The king says making his bow even deeper. "First of all, I want to know if you are aware of what your race is being forgiven for." Water says.

"It was all because of what we did to the previous individual you had chosen." The king begins. "The royal family suppressed him and bullied him. Accused him of false accusations. Imprisoned him then put on trial and was beheaded by Orion Taerin Arcadia Zanaibael XXVI.

The reason was that your previous chosen one was not of the royal family and had too much potential." The king right now is on the ground on his knees. "Then you ancient one came out and cursed the Arcadia branch and warned us all if your next chosen one will ever set foot on elven soil, you would come for compensation."

"That is the gist of it. Now please stand up your majesty. It all happened a long time ago but now you can do the right thing." Water urges the king to stand up. The king stands up and sits back down on his chair behind his desk. Ben is just sitting there with wide eyes.

"For starters, Ben is an ex-mortal. He will need to be guided into the martial world. I can do this, but I want him to experience it. The best way to do this is to let him attend your academy. It will be hard for him but I know he will pull through." Water says.

"Yes, I already wanted to ask him if he wanted to attend the academy together with the descendants of the royal family." The king says. Water nods to this.

"Next you will get him on par accommodations as the crown prince. Just as many resources and you will let him choose a treasure out of your royal treasury." Water says. The king nods.

"That's it for now. If Ben has any requests just take it like I asked." With that Water return to Bens' body.

"Ben do you have any requests right now?" The king asked Ben. Ben came out of his trance like state. 'What the hell just happened?' Ben thought. "No. Can I go back to my room?" Ben eventually answered. "Yes, you can." The king said to Ben.

The king brought a blue crystal out of his spatial ring. He filled it with qi. Not long after a servant came rushing in. He bowed and asked. "Yes, Your majesty?" "Please escort him to the inner court and arrange a new room for him." The king says while referencing to Ben. The servant looked up to Ben. Then he looked at the king and bowed. "As you wish." The servant says.

"Please follow me." The servant says to Ben. Ben stands up and start to follow the servant. They go deeper into the palace and come to a stop at a double door. "This will be your room." The servant says. "Thank you." Ben says and opens the door and enters. Leaving behind a baffled servant. The servant has never heard a thank you from a person from a higher status.

Ben closes the door behind him. The room he is standing in is definitely bigger than the room he had first. It had the same design but with more luxurious interior designs. Lot more accessories. A bigger bathroom and much bigger bed.

'What did I do to deserve this? Damn it feels like I am living like a king.' Ben thought to himself. 'I'm so exhausted.' Ben jumps unto the bed and gets rid of his clothes till his underwear. He closes his eyes and falls asleep.
