“Lily is in a precarious position, and aligning with her will give you a foothold within the Quinn family. It’s all part of a larger plan, one that will keep you safe and give you the chance to explore your father family.”
Kent’s jaw tightened, but he remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
Madam Clark took another sip of her wine, her gaze sharp as she looked over the rim of the glass. “I’ve already arranged for your fake identity. “You will go by the name Kent Hall, a distant relative of the Supreme Sword Magus, and a secret disciple of his. The story has already been spread, and your past has been carefully erased. No one in the Seventh Realm will know that you are Kent Clark.”
Kent’s eyes widened slightly at the revelation, his mind racing as he tried to comprehend the extent of his mother’s influence.
“How… How did you manage all of this in such a short time? Did Sword Magus agreed to this?” he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief.
Madam Clark stood up, slowly circling around Kent, her gaze never leaving him. “My network runs deeper than you could ever imagine. I’ve spent years building connections, creating alliances, all to protect you and prepare you for what’s to come. There’s much you don’t know, Kent, and even more that you must learn about the 9 realms under-world network.
There are more powerful people than these Supremes and Half-Sovereigns.”
She paused, standing directly in front of him now, her eyes boring into his. “My son,” she said, her voice dropping to a near whisper, “I’m sending you to the Seventh Realm for three reasons.”
Kent stared back at her while trying to see her motives behind her words.
“The first, is for you to discover the truth about your childhood on your own and to know your father as the man he truly is. You need to understand where you come from, and what lies in your bloodline.” She said, raising a finger.
Kent’s heart pounded in his chest, the weight of her words pressing down on him. His father? The man who had been nothing but a shadowy figure in his life?
“The second,” Madam Clark continued, “is to understand the strength of the Quinn family’s army and the true power of their war capabilities. You must know the forces you may one day have to face. Knowledge is power, and without it, you’ll be walking into a battlefield blind.”
Kent’s mind raced, trying to piece together what she was saying.
“And lastly,” she said, her voice growing more intense, “the most important reason of all: The Quinn family is going to conduct the Trident Summit soon. The winner of this summit will have the opportunity to enter the Spirit Realm.”
Kent’s breath caught. The Spirit Realm… a higher plane of existence ruled by 8 lesser gods and 33 demi-gods. The place where time runs differently and a land of opportunities.
Madam Clark’s eyes gleamed as she spoke. “I want you to participate in the Trident Summit, Kent. I want you to win and secure your place in the Spirit Realm. There are other ways to enter, but the Quinn family has special means. You will learn more as time goes on, but for now, this is what you need to know.”
Kent swallowed hard, trying to absorb the magnitude of what his mother was asking of him. It wasn’t just a mission. It was an opportunity, a challenge that would determine his future.
Madam Clark stepped closer, placing a hand on his shoulder. Her touch was firm, but her eyes were soft, filled with both determination and a mother’s love.
“This is not just an opportunity, Kent. It’s your destiny. But before you leave, I want you to take the time to say your goodbyes to those who are close to you. You’re about to embark on a dangerous mission, one that will test you in ways you’ve never been tested before. You might not return in case the Quinn family knew about your identity. But I believe in you.
I always have.”
Kent stared into his mother’s eyes, seeing the depth of her resolve, the unyielding belief she had in him. But beneath it all, he also saw the fear, the worry that she tried so hard to hide.
Kent nodded slowly, his voice hoarse as he replied, “I’ll do it, Mother. I’ll do everything you’ve asked.” Experience tales at empire
For the time being, Kent stopped thinking about what his mother did to him. His focus shifted onto the 7th realm.
Madam Clark’s hand tightened on his shoulder, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Thank you,” she whispered. “Thank you…”
She pulled him into a tight embrace, holding him as if she were afraid to let go. Kent returned the embrace, feeling the warmth of her love, the strength of her determination.
But as he held her, a deep, gnawing sense of dread settled in his chest.
When they finally pulled apart, Madam Clark looked at him with a sad smile. “Remember, Kent, no matter what happens, you are my son. You always will be. But now, you must go and fulfill your destiny. The future of our family… of everything we’ve built… depends on it.” She said softly.
Kent nodded, his resolve hardening as he looked into his mother’s eyes one last time. As she nodded her head, Kent moved out of her chamber with a heavy heart.
Madam Calrk stared at his leaving back with hope. She believed that one day, he would forgive him.
After Kent left, she took out a golden paper inscribed with runes. “He is coming soon. Get ready to serve your Son-In-Law. I hope you remember your sworn promise, Ragnor.”
As she whispered words, the golden paper burned and turned into dust.
In the 7th realm, Frost family headquarters, the brother of Ryon Lionheart, Ragnor stared at the golden letter in his hands with a smirking smile.
“Finally… my wait is over.” Ragnor murmured as he stared at the fist tattoo on his forearm.
–
You will experience great entertainment on 7th realm. My promise. I had many crazy plots waiting and i’m so much excited to write.
[Clarification: Thea and Lily were daughters of Taylor who is the sister of Ryon and ragnor. Kent and Thea were cousins according to earthly relation. But cross-cousin marriage is common practice in mage world, to purify their blood line. only cross cousin. This type of marriage is still practice in South-Easter Asia side. But this practice is going down due to proven fact of babies born with defects.]
