Hidden quest
" The imperial castle consists of 4 palaces. The main palace or the white palace is the only place which is allowed to enter by anyone else out of the imperial family or without the direct permission from the emperor." Lucy continued while walking.
" The other three palaces are the Sapphire palace, the Emerald palace and the Ruby palace."
" The Emerald palace is where all the childrens of the emperor lives while the Ruby palace is where the empress along with the other wives and concubine lives."
" The sapphire palace is the second most important palace as this is where the first prince, crown prince and the next emperor lives." Lucy finally concluded.
" Do you live in the Ruby palace ?" Lucas asked after much thought. After all, he can't just ask her if she has an intimate relationship with Leon.
" Fufu~, No one lives in any of the palaces except his majesty in the white palace. Now his highness in the Sapphire palace. Actually there is someone who lives in the emerald pa—" she abruptly stopped as if she didn't want to let Lucas know about a certain secret but clumsily started talking about it.
" What is it ?" Lucas asked, a bit confused at her behaviour.
" That is something which can't be kept hidden from his highness. That's why I will recommend that his highness wait calmly so that someday his majesty will open that secret as well." Lucy said, hiding her face.
Lucas was interested in this matter but he decided to wait as Lucy said because he felt a stinging pain in her voice when she said that sentence.
" Then tell me where the other members of the imperial family live ?" Lucas asked in the hopes of changing the topic.
" After a new emperor ascends they can do anything to the other members of the imperial family. Actually it also has a story of its own." Lucy continued.
" The person who ruled over the Holy Silvia Empire before Leon sama was his mother, which means she was an empress."
" The empress was a good ruler and ruled her years without any regrets but one. The only regret she ever had was marrying her husband who was a bastard son of one of the royal families."
" The Empress didn't have a liking for any man; she had a contract marriage with one of the four royal families of the Empire. The deal was that no matter which child the man conceives they should be included in the imperial family." Lucy concluded expecting Lucas to understand everything else.
" That means that except for his majesty none of the other members of the imperial family carries the direct blood of the Algar household." Lucas understood.
The other members of the imperial family are born through the debauchery of the husband of the former empress who was the mother of Leon.
" The other three royal families forced the current emperor to remove the other imperial family members out of the imperial castle. The emperor still gave each of them enough wealth and the status of a count along with the name of the imperial family." Lucy said with a bit of frustration mixed with anger.
" Yet they are trying to overthrow the current emperor and want to reign over the Empire, how amusing." When Lucas said that Lucy flinched and stopped on her foot. She turned around to look at the young prince when she saw the mischievous and sadistic expression of Lucas.
She felt a chill running down her spine as she can already guess where Lucas thoughts are going but instead of being gloomy or sad she had a small smile on her face while she thought :-
' Whenever a new ruler arrives changes happen. Now I want to see whether you will be like the current emperor or you will become ruler who truly carries the blood of a dragon.'
After that Lucas is led to the room which was the place where Leon and many of the past emperors lived before moving to white palace.
Now without any one to bother him Lucas finally decided to see the system. Lucas actually wanted to check the system notification right there on the spot when Athanasia left but knowing about the new place and new environment was just as important as checking the system.

Lucas was excited but at the same time he was confused. Confused because he didn't know that a quest function was present in the system as the screen didn't say anything regarding it.
At the end the excitement won over confusion and Lucas decided to check the reward.
' Level ' Lucas thought and the screen opened in front of his eyes.
