Chapter 26: What’s The Lower Realm About? Your Time Sword Grows...
Eric's POV
Just as I had predicted, that little boy would become a thorn in my side. I knew I had to eliminate him. Honestly, I never expected him to actually awaken an element—let alone one as rare as space.
Now the question is... how do I get rid of him?
Eric began to calculate. The Awakening Ceremony had just concluded, so he couldn't make a move on Kranos immediately. He would have to wait—wait for the perfect moment, when Kranos's father was away, when there would be no one around to protect him.
Wait... didn't he just awaken?
A sudden thought sparked in his mind.
I can use that to my advantage. He'll most likely attend the Royal Academy next year—or at most, the year after. That gives me time to set the stage. With that, Eric began plotting. Before he knew it, an entire year had passed.
Everything went according to plan. He spotted Kranos walking alongside Raphael. Eric followed them silently as they walked. He didn't have to worry about being discovered. his concealment skill was top-notch in the whole royal family, even surpassing most assassins.
After studying their movements and ensuring that Kranos was going to participate in this year's descent, Eric began his second phase of the plan. He went to where the guards were. After conducting a memory search, he was able to ascertain which guard would be in charge of the descent this year.
