Inside the prince room, Kent, who is lying on the bed, is thinking deeply about his opportunities in this ancient world. The mature lady slept beside him with her head resting on his shoulder. Her eyes are a little swollen and red. Unknowingly, Kent is caressing her head with concern.
“Receiving the inheritance of an ancestor phoenix is really a big boost for me. If that’s not possible, I must check out the spell books of this phenix clan.” Only on freewebnovel
Just as he thinking seriously about using this rare opportunity, someone knocked on the room door loudly and in a hurried manner. The mature beauty, Soya, hurriedly got up in a startled manner and got out from bed.
“It’s okey… You take rest. I will answer the door.” Kent replied while holding her hand.
“No, I am your wife. I should answer the door.” Soya spoke hurriedly while moving towards the door.
While Kent watched curiously at the door, Soya opened the heavy, dark wood door, which has markings of a phoenix bird.
“My lady, is Prince Eric inside?” The head servant lady, who came on orders of the queen, asked with a head bow.
“Yes… The prince is inside. Why are you looking for a prince?” Soya asked in an authoritative tone.
“The queen is requesting the presence of Prince Ethan immediately. The matter is very urgent.” The head servant lady replied without lifting her head.
“What’s so urgent? Is the patriarch coming back with victory?” Soya asked with a curious look.
“No, my lady. A large number of vermillion-bird clan mages were marching towards our clan. Those damn chickens played tricks on us. We only have two days to prepare for war.” The head servant lady explained in a serious tone with a bit of frustration.
After hearing the news, Soya stood on the same spot, terror-stricken. She is utterly shocked by the current scenario. As everyone is thinking that Prince Eric, the inheritor, could protect them against the Vermillion Bird clan, no one is panicking at the moment. But only Soya knew that Prince Eric didn’t remember anything.
“My lady, please call the prince Eric, we don’t have much time left.” The servant lady asked loudly, pulling Soya from a daze.
Soya did not understand how to reveal the fact that Prince Eric had lost his memory. After contemplating for a second, she asked the head servant to leave and replied that she would personally bring the prince to the queen’s hall.
With a dull face, she came to Kent and sat beside him. Tears began rolling down her cheeks. All her joy turned into sorrow. Kent, who had already heard the news of the Vermillion Bird clan attacks, placed his hand over her shoulder and moved close to her.
“Stop crying… Even though I lost my memory, I’m still here. If I meet the Lord Phoenix now, I can get back my inheritance powers. Then dealing with those vermillion bord mages won’t be a big problem.” Kent suggested calmly without revealing his intentions.
“But what if the Lord refuses you? Can you remember how you received inheritance in the first place?” Soya asked, covering her face with both palms.
Kent did not understand how to answer the question. He really doesn’t know how the previous guy got the inheritance in the first place. Just as he was thinking of ways to persuade his wife, Soya rubbed her face with tears and stood with determination.
“Let’s go and meet your mother. I will tell her the truth. She is the one who could take you to the phoenix abode, let her decide what to do.” Soya replied while holding his arm.
With a sigh, Kent immediately stood up and followed her. He thanked the Vermillion Bird clan for attacking, because of which he might get a chance to meet the Lord Phoenix.
After a long walk along the corridors of the palace, they both reached the Queen Hall, where the queen sat in the central throne position, and a few loyal servants were present in that room.
“Everyone, leave us alone.” Just as she stepped inside the Queen’s Hall, Soya ordered every servant to leave the hall.
The Queen, who is waiting for her son, Prince Eric, is surprised by the sudden call from her daughter-in-law. But she adjusted her emotions and gestured for the servants to leave.
Soon, only the queen, Soya, and Kent in Prince Eric’s body remained in that luxurious hall. After a short delay, Soya directly hugged her mother-in-law, the queen.
“Why is she always crying?!” Kent thought with a weird look. Seeing Soya’s performance, he thought women were built differently.
The queen felt perplexed by Soya’s act of Soya. She consoled her daughter-in-law for a long time and turned her head towards Kent.
“Did you do something to her? Even though you married recently, you should have waited a few more days.” The queen spoke with an angry glare, thinking that her son had forced Soya.
“No… no… Mother, you are misunderstanding. Your son didn’t do any wrong.” Soya hurriedly replied while avoiding the direct stare.
“Then why are you crying like this?” the queen asked with a confused look.
Deep silence filled the room as Soya stared at the floor, hesitating to answer that question. Kent waited in silence to let Soya speak. Kent is worried that Queen might find out about him being present in her son’s body. That’s why he is trying his best to stay calm and go with the flow.
“Soya, speak… We don’t have time.” The queen ordered impatiently.
“Mother… I’m really worried about how you will react to this.” Soya paused for a moment before continuing. “Y-Your son… Your son forgot everything. He didn’t even remember the inheritance powers of the Lord Phoenix.” Soya finally broke the ice while avoiding the gaze of the queen.
“What did you say?!!!” A shocking reaction appeared on the queen’s face as her gaze turned towards her son, Prince Eric.
“Yes, mother… Your son forgot everything. Maybe due to a near-death experience, this happened. Please do something to get back his memories.” Soya held the queen’s hand and spoke in a begging tone.
The queen’s head stirred with war thoughts, and fear invaded her heart. Her gaze fixed on Kent, who is trying to get his beast to act normal.
