Chapter 193
“My son, you must never master the Dragon’s Breath.”
“Mother? But wouldn’t that be akin to forsaking our royal duty?”
“I shall fulfill that duty by any means necessary, so you must promise me, never to learn the Dragon’s Breath!”
“Yes, mother.”
The words of his mother, the previous Empress Carolina Pionia, echoed in his mind. For reasons unknown, she abhorred the idea of him mastering the Dragon’s Breath and he had obliged her wishes.
“Instead, master this.”
She had handed him a tattered ancient tome. Its unassuming cover bore only the title ‘Fire’, with no other distinguishing features. Skeptical at first, he began to learn the art within, which soon laid the foundation for him to be called the Sun Prince.
And then, her final words before she passed.
“I am the last high priestess of the Order of Fire. Now, you must take my place.”
She revealed that the art he had mastered was the secret technique of the Order’s high priestess.
After her death, he used his agents to scour the continent for information about the Order of Fire. This was the true purpose behind the Sun Prince’s collection journey. Not only to fulfill his mother’s last wish but also to understand the mysterious and powerful art he possessed.
