Chapter 189: Amelia: The Breaveheart’s Duty
Amelia’s POV:
It’s been over a month since Naoki began his Hero’s Trial within the hallowed Hall of Ascension.
Every single day, I’ve stayed by his side—never once leaving him alone. My sister Arsene is here too, always watching over him with her piercing eyes and powerful magic. And with us stands our uncle, the ever-reliable Sir Godfrey.
We were sent here under the direct order of my father—King Aslan von Braveheart.
A few days before Naoki began his trial, Father was plagued by a foreboding omen. He couldn’t sleep. He said he felt something... wrong, something dark stirring just beyond the veil of fate.
With our kingdom already locked in a brutal war on two fronts—against the demonic legions and the hostile Gildorian Empire—any new threat could be the beginning of our end.
But that wasn’t all.
Father had received a telepathic transmission from Saintess, the Oracle Priestess. Her words chilled us to the bone.
She spoke of a vision—one filled with fire, blood, and shadows. She foresaw demons breaching the sacred Hall of Ascension, attempting to sabotage Naoki’s trial... and kill him before he could complete it.
It would be nothing less than a catastrophic disaster.
Saintess possesses a divine skill—[Prophecy]—an ability known only to her bloodline, enabling her to peer into fragments of the future shaped by destiny itself. And yet... for over a decade, her power lay dormant. That is, until now.
