Heading toward the Haman kingdom

"You won't go anywhere, you will stay in the imperial palace with me forever! If you try to escape, I will cut both of your limbs and keep you inside my room!" Sophia's voice was firm, her eyes cold as she made it clear she wouldn't allow me to step outside of the palace. Even if I attempted she wouldn't be reluctant to cut my hands and legs.

"What! At least hear me out before jumping to a conclusion—" I tried to interject, but Rose cut me off.

"No! Haven't you realized yet? You always end up in dangerous situations whenever you leave me. I strongly agree with Sophia; I can't allow you to venture outside again and risk your life."

I sighed, understanding their concerns for me. "Rose and Mother, you're both aware of my strength. I'm ten times stronger than those humans, and they can't hurt me. I even have a soul weapon with me; you've probably sensed its aura already!"

Rose and Sophia suddenly stopped, their faces reflecting the realization of the frightening power that emanated from me during the battle with Alaric. Sophia approached me, her eyes filled with curiosity and concern. "Son, that frightening power was emanating from you? Where in the world did you get a soul weapon?"

She shook my body, urging me to explain the origin of the soul weapon. I calmed her and began to recount the journey to the Ice realm and how I merged my soul with Frosty, the Ice Dragon. Sophia listened intently, her expression alternating between shock and fascination. Meanwhile, Rose, though aware of my soul weapon, seemed particularly intrigued by the Ice Dragon. Luna remained quiet behind me, observing our conversation with keen interest.

"Ice Dragon? What is that? I've never heard of such a creature existing in Neither continent. Mother, do you know anything about it?" Sophia turned to Rose, seeking information about the Ice Dragon.

"I have lived for millions of years and encountered numerous races and creatures during that time. However, I have never heard of the existence of Ice Dragons or any other dragons living alongside us. It's possible that they originated from Ice realms and adapted to their environment," Rose replied, her gaze shifting back to me.

"If you possess the power of the Ice Dragon, that doesn't mean you can leave the imperial palace!"

The negotiation seemed to reach an impasse; both Rose and Sophia were unwavering in their decision to prevent me from leaving. I closed my eyes and silently appealed to Luna for help. Sensing my plea, Luna stepped forward. Rose and Sophia turned their attention to Luna, wary of her cold, unfriendly gaze.

Luna knelt before them gracefully and spoke with conviction, "Your Majesty, Princess, I understand your concerns for the Emperor's safety outside the palace. However, he cannot remain confined here while the humans have already begun their aggression by attacking the Haman Kingdom. If we don't take action now, they will soon conquer the Hamans, the Elves, and pose a threat to the Dragons."

Sophia, visibly angered by Luna's assertion that humans could defeat dragons, interjected, "You, Elf! How dare you doubt our superiority and military strength? If humans dare to invade our land, they will face a brutal fate that they will not forget even in the depths of hell!"

Meanwhile, Rose regarded Luna with a silent intensity before speaking, "Elf, I acknowledge your intelligence and your role in the new economic reform. However, what leads you to believe that humans could overcome the strength of our dragons? There must be a reason behind your concern."

Luna nodded and spoke, "Indeed there is a strong reason, Dragon strength is unmatched against all races on Neither continent but you are that you can win against Hero and the Strongest weapon holders?"

An unexpected silence emerges in the room when Luna mansion them. Sophia rage quickly replaced with concern and worry, she tightly clenched her fist as she stared at Luna with animosity. Indeed, Dragons cannot fight against the entire world once after Humans take over the other kingdom, Dragon's domination will fade forever. But there is still time to prevent that from happening in real if I possess the kingdom before them.

"The Hero from another world has joined hands with Humans and helped them to achieve their greedy wish and the strongest weapon holders are flowing them, and that Elden Nobility the who possess the celestial soul weapon!" Sophia Looked down and grouchy spoke. I can sense that she loathes The Human from the bottom of her heart. 

"Elden Nobility? Who is that and what is the celestial soul weapon?" I asked as a question emoji soared above my head. 

Luna, Rose and Sophia turned around to look at me, they had a surprised expression on their faces when they heard my word, I once again felt like an idiot who didn't know anything about the world event. 

Luna explained everything about the celestial soul weapon and Elden Nobility the descendent of the previous Hero and the current holder of the Strongest weapon in the world. I couldn't help but hear more about this person.

"So you are telling me that the soul weapon I possess is celestial?"

"Yes, Soul weapons are divided into four tiers lower soul, mid soul, higher soul and lastly the celestial soul weapon, dear your soul weapon may exist only once in this world and many other races or nobles will try to steal your soul weapon!" Rose said and looked at me.

"Don't worry about me if they mess with me they will bear the consequences! I assured you Well it's already getting late now I need to move to the Haman kingdom!" 

Sophia immediately interjected "No, didn't you listen to me? I won't let you go or I will—"

She wanted to speak but Rose stopped her, Sophia turned behind to look at her mother's sudden intervention "Mother what are you doing? Wait are you letting him go that dangerous warzone! Have you lost your mind? What will happened if he gets injured or—"

"Would please keep your mouth shut? You know that he won't listen to us even if we try to confine him I am sure we will somehow find a way to escape!" Rose shouted at Sophia suppressing her voice. She couldn't help but be taken aback by her sudden outburst at her.

Rose approached me and firmly stroked my jaw "I won't stop you even though I strongly wanted you to stay in the palace but seeing your urge to move there, my heart wouldn't be able to stop you. But before you go, you have to promise me that you be back and won't scratched or injuries"

"I promise! I will be back in one piece" I responded and walked toward Sophia, she was against my decision to leave the imperial palace I could see that she was trembling in fear, but I calmed her down by kissing her lips.

Sophia was taken aback by my sudden kiss out of the blue. She stopped shaking and reply me with a lustful kiss. Luna and Rose looked annoyed to witness our passionate kiss. 

When we finally broke our kiss, Sophia's face turned crimson red as our fixed saliva dripped from her lips. "You have to come back immediately when you are finally done or I will come there to get you!"

"Okay, I promise I be back!"
