The Story of the Prince, Leiva
Chapter 4 - Mythical Mark II
That was why all the other princes identified Leiva as the disgrace of the Royal Family. They never treated him like a sibling and even wanted him dead.
In recent years, Prince Commander Staircase has also started to keep a distance from Empress Ruby and Leiva. After being exiled by the empress and the other princes, they had been expelled from the Crystal Palace.
Leiva stood there quietly and did not say a word. He did not care about what the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince said.
He believed that, before obtaining actual strength, people would only look down on him contemptuously.
Seeing Leiva being belittled, Empress Ruby who stood with the other empress, felt heartbroken. However, he could do nothing to help her.
“Worship Ceremony will now begin!” The minister of Stardom's Altar stood at the highest part of the altar, holding a prayer scroll and reading it aloud.
Then, an elegant female servant at the altar started playing various kinds of muaik tools.
It was then followed by killing the animals that had been prepared at the altar and worshipping the god with blood.
Woosh!
Suddenly, the liquid Spiritual Blood turned into condensed, powerful columns of light that rose all the way to the vault of heaven. Columns of light tore through the clouds and smashed into the vast sky.
A star flew rapidly from the sky and reached the eyebrows of a six-year-old boy. Until it finally fused with the boy's body and turned into a red Mythical Mark.
Everyone in the crowd was greatly shocked and shouted, “The boy is the youngest son of the Azure Commander. She is only six years old and has been given a Mythical Sign!”
Mythical Epic Marks, classified as the Fourth Level of Mythical Marks.
"This is awesome! This little boy will have a bright future!" The crowd kept praising him.
There were different levels of Mythical Marks. The Warrior Level was the lowest and weakest level while the Lingkay Mythical Glory was the strongest.
Everyone looked at the six-year-old with jealousy. This talented and most fortunate child, who had obtained the Fourth Level of the Mythical Mark at the age of six. He was clearly one of the sons of God. His achievements in the future will certainly be significant.
Among all the soldiers in the Stardom Altar, they were extremely excited, the big man shouted while banging his chest. "Great! My son! Everyone, you are welcome to join the celebration party at my place tonight! Hahaha..” shouted the Azure Commander.
Woosh!
As the voice rang out, the crowd looked up at the sky again. There are a few more stars that make the eyebrows of boys and girls more. The stars turned into Mythical Signs one by one.
For all the Mythical Marks that had been obtained this year, most of them were of the lowest grade. Very few teenagers obtained the mark of the Second Level or Master. The most outstanding candidate was still the son of the Azure Commander, who got a grade of the fourth Level or Epic. He left the people far behind, who needed to chase after him.
The people who had obtained the Mythical Mark were in the minority. They were probably only one-tenth of the total population of Staircase City. Lucky people who get grades are overwhelmed. They were eventually given the approval of the gods and given access to make sense in Martial Arts.
In addition, those who did not obtain the Mythical Mark were really upset and disappointed. Some of them even choked on tears. It can be said that laughter is heard and tears are shed in different households.
The ceremony moves towards the finish line. Leiva has not yet obtained the Mythical Mark.
At the beginning of the ceremony, Empress Ruby held on to hope. He hopes a miracle will happen to his son, Leiva. And he'll get the Mythical Mark. He believed that he did not need to be an outstanding fighter, but he could keep himself healthier and kept away from all diseases.
As the ceremony was about to end, Empress Ruby's Hope turned into disappointment and despair. Not only Empress Ruby, but also Leiva thought that she was unable to obtain the Mythical Mark.
At that moment, the Jubilee Stone he was holding in his hand suddenly gleamed.
Just before the end of the ceremony, there was one more star that descended on Leiva's brows and turned into a Mythical Sign that was different from the others, the star was circular in white.
Wooosh!
The burning heat from his brows spread throughout his body.
“Finally! I got it!!" Leiva cheers.
Leiva was really happy, he finally obtained the Mythical Mark!
Indeed, he did not care if it turned out to be a First Level sign or a Warrior. He would be more than satisfied to get it.
At one point throughout the ceremony, no one noticed that Leiva was there. But the moment he obtained the precious Mythical Mark, he attracted everyone's attention.
“He... the son of the Ninth Prince, he is already 17 years old with a weak body. I can't believe his luck to get the mark at the last moment!” Most people do not believe what they see and start gossiping.
The eyes of the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince widened in disbelief, revealing shocked faces as they stood beside Leiva.
"How can it be?”
Empress Ruby turned around and looked at Leiva. He finally saw the mark on his brow. She ran towards him and hugged him firmly, "Leiva, you made it, you finally made it!" Empress Ruby said with tears of happiness.
There was an old eunuch taking care of the Altar Prince of Stardom who walked towards Leiva and said, "Happy Empress Ruby and the Ninth Prince, for having obtained the Mythical Mark! The queen wanted to invite the prince to her place. He insists on reviewing the level of your sign personally.”
"Queen?” The smile on Empress Ruby's face instantly froze, as if she realized something was wrong. She was very nervous and she pulled Leiva behind her.
“Bu, let's go see the queen!" Leiva.
Leiva recognized the subtle changes of Empress Ruby. He instantly knew that the queen was a crafty person. He should be more aware and careful.
---
The queen, who wore a colorful dress and a golden phoenix crown, sat in a tent near the altar. In Leiva's eyes, the queen was an old woman. However, she looked like a 29-year-old with an elegant and beautiful character.
“Your Majesty is currently secluding herself for purification. So, I will be in charge of the ceremony this year. Minister, have you evaluated the level of the Mythical Mark that the Ninth Prince obtained?" ask the Queen.
