Chapter 9: The Hidden Truth
The entire Royal family alongside Asher were present and seated in the Royal study.
"The Jardel family has existed from time immemorial. Our ancestor Darius Jardel as the legends say was a proud man." King Aaron began. Everyone listened attentively, even the sound of a pin dropping would be heard as the silence and tension within the room was almost palpable.
"As the legends say, he was blessed by the gods with magic such as this." King Aaron concentrated his mana towards his palm and the same dimension which he created before was seen.
"This is ’World Creation Magic’ this is just one of the many types of magical abilities the gods have blessed us with." King Aaron continued.
"You’ve told us all that father but what does that have to do with those beasts that came from the sky?" Prince Arin asked his calm demeanor replaced by a look of impatience.
"They are not just any beasts son. They are demons." King Aaron corrected.
"What are they?" Princess Aethera chipped in.
"According to what our ancestors say, they are beings that existed before our world." King Aaron replied.
"Are you sure about that father? They seemed pretty weak." Arin said.
"It would seem those were the weaker ones, the ancient books say that there is a hierarchy amongst the demons and the ones we faced are the fledglings." King Aaron explained.
"Then what about the others?" Asher finally spoke up, he looked in the direction of Queen Aurora and saw that she was calmly listening to every word her husband had to say.
