The Story of the Prince, Leiva
Chapter 10 - Cronous Palace, Ambrella II

He was shocked because of his mother's family surname Cronous. Looking over the magnificent mansion, it seemed that the Cronous family was not humble, but extraordinary.

“If my mother comes from a distinguished family, why can't she get the support of her family to save herself from the constant bullying of other concubines in the Mansion? There must be a story behind it!"

Empress Ruby also got off the train. Looking up at the gate, which was familiar and strange to her, she said, "Leiva, I'm sure you can't wait to see Ambrella! Now, you have also developed the Mythical Mark and I believe that you and Ambrella may have a lot in common. Take advantage of this opportunity!”

Leiva doesn't know who Ambrella is. He felt that the words of Syifa and Empress Ruby were strange. Led by Empress Ruby, Leiva and Syifa walked inside.

A concubine had to receive a large reception upon returning home. However, there was only one butler who came to greet Empress Ruby and Leiva.

Empress Ruby was guided into the house by the butler, leaving Leiva and Syifa in the house outside. Only two servants were left to guard them. Leiva could sense that something was wrong, but he had trouble finding someone to ask. So, he had no choice but to remain silent.

“Ninth Prince, why don't you go see Ambrella? He must be at the Izis Arena, where all the young people from the Cronous Family are training,” Syifa said.

Leiva grew curious about this girl named Ambrella, whom Empress Ruby and Syifa had mentioned several times, "I might as well see her." she thought.

"Good! Let's go to the Izis Arena," Leiva nodded.

Izis Arena was inside the palace of the Cronous Family. In the ancient hall, Cronous, the leader of the Cronous Family, was sitting upright in his chair.

He's 30 years old. He glanced at Empress Ruby, who was sitting opposite him, and said, “Ninth Prince is part of the future generation of the Stardom Altar. Even if he had opened the Mythical Mark, he should have gone to the Book Collection Pavilion at the Stardom Altar to gather books on practice skills. Empress Ruby, why are you here?”

Empress Ruby bit her lip and said, “I didn't ask, but begged, Brother. Can you give Leiva a book about practicing skills? Even if it is just due to the fact that he is your nephew.”

Brak!

Cronous growled with disdain as he kicked the table, the saying, “Now you need me? How dare you come to discuss kinship with me! Three years ago, I went to Stardom Altar to beg you. Why didn't you save your nephew? You know that my son is a genius of the Cronous Family once in a century. He will be saved as long as you beg the Prince then. However, you?"

"Three years ago, I.” Empress Ruby was very sad and could barely hold back her tears. He wants to tell the truth.

However, Cronous cut him off and said, "Just go! The family has been breaking up with you for a long time. Never come back, Empress Ruby.”

Bugh!

Empress Ruby knelt on the ground, cried and choked on tears, and said, "Sister, I, how can you be so cruel? I want to see father.”

“Dad has gone to Orc Mountain. He'll be there for three months. You can't see it now" Cronous said in an annoyed voice. "One more thing. The Seventh Prince and Ambrella are about to get engaged. Please tell the Ninth Prince to stay away from Ambrella from now on. ”

Empress Ruby despaired and said, “You know that Leiva really likes Ambrella. If she knew about their engagement, how sad would she be? Then, why must the Seventh Prince?”

Empress Ruby said, “Is Ambrella willing to get engaged to the Seventh Prince? Will she be happily married for the sake of the family?"

Cronous looked at Empress Ruby and nonchalantly said, "You're wrong! Ambrella made the decision!”

—

The Izis Arena of the Cronous Family was very spacious, about half the size of a football field. The young people in the Martial Arts robes of the Cronous Family were practicing martial techniques in the Izis Arena. Some of them were practicing fist techniques, other sword techniques, and the rest, sword techniques.

They were the elites of the Cronous Family and everyone had opened the Mythical Mark. All of them were dedicated to training under the guidance of a senior member in a seemingly evolving atmosphere.

Leiva nodded his head and said to himself, "The Cronous family can be considered a noble family in Staircase."

Suddenly, Leiva noticed a slim and stunning young woman. The young lady seemed to be 15 years old, but she had a petite body, starry eyes, and white skin. What a beautiful young woman!

He held a sword covered by a weak starlight and let out a bright light. A large number of Swords surrounded him and followed him as he walked, which was as graceful as a flying swan and as beautiful as a flying dragon. The subtlety of the sword technique had reached its climax.

“The purified power has been released. This is the realm of the Sword Following Heart. His Martial Arts Skills had reached the Moderate State of the Earth Level, at the very least, which was much better than the Eighth Prince.” Leiva thinks.

"Wow! Is that the Ninth Prince? Who would have thought that he would come here?" One of the followers of the Cronous Family saw Leiva standing outside the Izis Arena and sneered with an ironic smile.

“She must have come here to see sister Ambrella. So bad! He doesn't want to see it at all.”

“I heard he has opened Mythical Sign.”

“Aha! He did not open his Mythical Mark until he was 17 years old. How could he make an achievement? If he wasn't Ambrella's cousin, he might not even have the chance to enter the Cronous Palace."

“i heard that Ambrella will soon be engaged to the Seventh Prince. Very suitable!”

"Hey! I heard the Ninth Prince always has a crush on him. What do you think of her facial expression when she found out about their engagement?”

All the young warriors from the Cronous Family stopped training and looked at Leiva who was standing outside the Izis Arena. They pointed at him, whispered among themselves, and mocked him.

Ambrella also stopped practicing and glanced at Leiva, waving his hand to precisely keep his sword.

Ambrella walked up to Leiva, saw his thin body, and said, “I haven't seen you in a long time, cousin. I heard that you have opened the Mythical Sign?”
