Chapter 12: Awakening Ceremony (Part 2)
Outside the Ceremonial Sanctuary.
A gray mist showed everything happening in the cave; it was observational magic, and its projected image was sharp.
The young masters, the wives, the elders, and the clan leader stood silently, attentively watching what was happening inside the shrine.
There was the perfect image of Kael walking along the river toward the torii gates with an indifferent expression.
The white lotus flowers, floating on the crystal clear jade green river, illuminated the cave with a white glow.
The clan elders, who seemed to be part of the Inner Council, began to murmur expectantly.
"More than forty lotuses have already been enlightened. Your talent may be A-rank, like the other young masters."
"That’s right, though he may not have the characteristics of a Medici, his blood is. Through his body runs one of the finest bloodlines in this realm."
"Kekeke, it seems that the patriarch’s last son is also brimming with talent. With this, we need not worry about the future of the clan, with so many talented young masters."
"But according to reports about the seventh young master, they said he was spineless. It seems it was all an act. How could someone with Medici blood running through his veins be so pitiful?"
At that moment, the clan elders fell silent at the sight of the burning lotuses.
