30Please respect copyright.PENANAKCPkUoNYrb
In a mountainous area, in the largest and highest village among a group of small villages, the ruling family of those villages witnessed a happy day after years of waiting. Finally, the crown prince was born, who would take over the family's affairs in the future. He was born on a stormy day, welcomed warmly and joyfully by all members of the family and the villagers, especially his father, who was afraid he would not have a son and that the rule would pass to another side.

From the very first moment of the prince's life, it was clear he was not an ordinary child. His first cry was accompanied by a strong lightning strike that hit different parts of the royal palace, frightening everyone present. With blond hair and strange eyes-one blue and the other green-he did not resemble anyone in his family. Some even suspected that the mother had betrayed the ruler. But the ruler, who was supposed to be the most suspicious, was calm, as if he knew something unknown to everyone, as if he expected his son to be different. Especially in such a family, one filled with mystery and inherited experience in dealing with magic and the supernatural for generations.

After the mother rested, all members of the family gathered in the palace to prepare for a big celebration of the prince's birth and naming. But the ruler interrupted them and ordered the ceremony postponed until he took his son somewhere.

A boy jumped from the crowd and asked:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAqbiKfO6w7S
- "Where to...?"
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQNJ73kRoS0
The ruler replied:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAI6jv228oKc
- "To pass him the covenant!"
30Please respect copyright.PENANAq5NTTJtbY2
The boy answered in surprise:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQzpQgyh0UE
- "Pass the covenant? But how can a small child become a ruler?"
30Please respect copyright.PENANAD7FYS5n0Qc
The ruler laughed at his words and addressed the boy's parents:
30Please respect copyright.PENANA3C0QJAdBj3
- "I see this boy knows little about the family. You know the laws well, why haven't you taught him?"
30Please respect copyright.PENANAtWzJzbGhh2
The boy's father justified:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAj0r1JIF3rU
- "No, my lord, if we could have taught him, we would have. But Danter has lived far from us since childhood after being assigned a mission, so we couldn't tell him about the family. Forgive us, my lord."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAJzTy1pX8Z
The ruler studied the boy carefully and said:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAamtxobnS3X
- "Danter? Indeed, I've never seen this boy before. You said he was assigned a mission. What secret mission is this that even the ruler hasn't heard of? What mission, and who assigned it?"
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAxruCBCr57
Tension appeared on the father's face, as if he had said something he shouldn't, then he answered:
30Please respect copyright.PENANATfb9SSHaed
- "No... not... I mean... just an ordinary mission, no need to explain, haha, maybe later."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAldXDIsnWQo
The ruler noticed his evasion and how he wanted to change the subject, so he knew there was a secret he didn't want to reveal in front of everyone. He decided to change the subject and answered the boy's earlier question:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAMgfotaX0Mq
- "Anyway, as I said, the ceremony will be postponed until we return from our journey, where I will pass the covenant of the Blue Core to its next owner. As you all know, our family has a long history with magic, inheriting many things, foremost among them the Blue Core. Just as I inherited it from my father, I will pass it to the next ruler. This is the fate of one born as a prince in this family , Also, I regret to say that many of you have falsely accused my wife because the prince looks different. I know exactly who said this, and from now on they will be considered traitors and punished severely. His appearance is due to the fact that he is the tenth owner of the Core. The servant entrusted with it decided to make him exceptional, altering his form and planting traits and powers no previous owner possessed. That is why I will take him tomorrow to the Blue Servant's sanctuary to sign the covenant. Now this meeting is over-everyone return to your homes and duties until I judge each according to what they deserve."
30Please respect copyright.PENANARS19sNQqih
Everyone left after the ruler's words. Some departed in shock after hearing about the Blue Core. They knew of its existence, but its ability to alter human forms was new to them. Others left in fear-those who had doubted the ruler's wife-knowing how much he loved her and how harsh the punishment would be.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAp03wbPtZHB
The meeting ended near nightfall. The ruler rose to head to his room but remembered the boy Danter and the mission mentioned. He felt curious to know it and thought of sending a palace servant to bring the boy and his father. But he decided to leave the matter until after his journey with his son, focusing only on his current mission.
30Please respect copyright.PENANATuyZawppHL
He entered his room and found his wife nursing their son. He sat beside her, gazing into her eyes, and joked:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAAWunOHObm
- "I think this rascal has taken my place. I hope he won't take it in your heart too."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAOfmdJOXaID
She replied playfully:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAAIu6i7qV2d
- "I'm the one who should say that."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAbjDROb3WaT
He laughed, kissed her cheek, then lay down in his bed:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAbTVPQ1fFRY
- "I must rest well. I have a long journey tomorrow."
30Please respect copyright.PENANA8jyKxFGb1N
She answered, as if remembering something:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAXNaqGFsoQe
- "Right, and by the way, Oran, my dear, you shouldn't have said those words."
30Please respect copyright.PENANA2yyWQQNHp6
- "What words?"
30Please respect copyright.PENANArroEwdaLMC
- "Calling the family members traitors and promising to punish them."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxb81Yx75pk
- "But I didn't say that out of whim, I said it for you, my love. They accused you of dishonor-that's unforgivable."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAoEj3Tma9hR
- "It's fine, it's fine. That's normal, anyone would say such a thing seeing our son's difference. I'm not upset at all. I'd be happier if I saw you merciful."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAa8zX1Ub5s6
He lay back without answering, only gazing at her, thinking:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAoZiVPGyOvi
- "Your kindness is what I love most about you."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAONT52byIkR
He stayed like that until he saw a tear fall from her eye, followed by many more. He jumped up in worry:
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdHASep2aa0
- "What's wrong, my love? Why the tears? Is it because of what I said? Fine, fine, I'll forgive them for you, no need to cry."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAgpVf2Vz6gx
- "No, that's not why I'm crying. I just remembered I won't be able to name my son. That's not fair-I'm his mother, I have the right to name him, don't I?"
30Please respect copyright.PENANAHfOHuRolRx
- "But Rosalia, you know that's impossible for the owner of the Core. The Blue Servant must name him, just as she named me and all previous owners. But if you want to name him, I'll try to convince her to let you. So, my love, what name have you chosen?"
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQrOEdSVtWZ
She replied joyfully:
30Please respect copyright.PENANARanzvDtkCd
- "Really, you'll do that for me? Then I'll name him... I'll name him 'Lazoris,' like the legendary blue lapis lazuli stone."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAye2CHfB3Zo
- "Haha, a name befitting him. Fine, I'll try hard to convince her, but I can't promise she'll agree."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAu4gTge9oZk
He wiped her tears, kissed her forehead, and returned to sleep. She too lay beside him after placing their baby in his cradle, and they all slept.
30Please respect copyright.PENANADvN69yAM7d
Rosalia awoke just before dawn to the sound of Oran preparing to depart for the Core Servant's sanctuary. She said:
30Please respect copyright.PENANA6raQoWN5dz
- "You're leaving at this time? Isn't that dangerous?"
30Please respect copyright.PENANAzzBIkFwtLq
- "Ah, you woke up. Yes, this is the right time to leave. Reaching the sanctuary is easy, but the hard part is the obstacles and dangers we'll face. Many enemies lie in wait for the prince, wanting to kill him and seize the Core-foremost among them the Ordos sect. It's better to move now without drawing attention."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAGrIh43hlN5
- "Take care of yourself and our son, my love."
30Please respect copyright.PENANAJNpv697siJ
He smiled at her, nodded, bid her farewell, then carried his son in his arms and set off toward the 'Seven Seas Complex.'
