Chapter 89 - 89
After leaving Hoütium City, Juri and Luria continued their journey to the Capital of the Winter Kingdom, Viriducidia.
It has been over half a month since Juri and Luria have been traveling together, but due to Katya's farewell, as well as Juri finally disproving many of the things she said, their relationship has soured a bit.
Juri doesn't force it too much, since she understands that Luria is a strong person with feelings.
For Luria, the last month has been very chaotic and exciting, she has discovered sides of herself that she never thought she had, discovered that there was much more to her parents' deaths, and was now considering giving up her titles, and even her last name, to accompany Juri.
It's a lot for her mind to take in.
But with time Luria was adapting, and two days later they were already tasting each other's bodies.
They passed through some villages on the way and dealt with some wild animal problems.
So after 1 week of leaving Hoütium City, they arrived in the Capital, Viriducidia!
The Capital of the Winter Kingdom is very close to the center of the territory, covering a gigantic area, as well as being connected to one of the main rivers, the largest source of fresh water in the Kingdom!
This river connects to several other Kingdoms and it is said that one of the many paths leads to the sea, but few believe this, those who believe it are the ones who are sure.
And in the Capital, more than 120,000 inhabitants live, as well as being home to the Archmage Neferu, a Winter Elf who abandoned his flesh and became an Ice Elemental.
Currently being one of the biggest powers on the continent, but it's not like that's a big deal, with the size of the continent, there are over 1,000 individuals of the same Level as Neferu.
...
Arriving in the capital, with Luria's noble status, entering was as easy as ever.
Now a big problem arose, talking to the Royal Family!
It is not simply because you are a noble that you can ask for an audience with the Royal Family.
And in case you say it's urgent, the amount of individuals involved is no small matter, and the Name List of the Occultists is not simple.
Not to mention that Princess Priscilla is a very influential noblewoman, she is the sister of the current Queen, as well as being a powerful Magician who has had her talent and power praised by the Archmage Neferu himself.
On the way here, Juri was sure to do a lot of re
"I... wish to revoke my Knighthood, my vows of loyalty and Nobility status!" - Said Luria raising her head and having determination in her eyes.
His words astounding everyone, Gratya in surprise said.
"I knew your parents and grandparents, they were great individuals, I see a glimpse of them in you, but... give it all up, could you know the reason?"
"After leaving the fortress to be Juri's guide, we went hunting for the beasts that destroyed a village of our people, where there we found evidence of what Juri explained to me is called Occultists, beings who pray for Gods from another dimension, what she calls the Negative Dimension!
She and I killed many of these grotesque creatures, I was exposed to such energy that is growing and changing me little by little, but Juri taught me how to control and suppress it!
There we met a despicable Occultist who sacrificed dozens of our people, and... there was a child of our people, who had been tortured and was suffering in a way... I can't even name it, but Juri told me that this poor child was something called a [Living Sacrifice], where his situation could not be reversed...
There I found out the truth about the last war against the humans, I learned that it was the Occultists who killed and tortured my parents, not the Humans I hated so much in the last decade!
Since then many things come to mind, like the fact that the Kingdom I am so proud of, chose to cause a war than to go after the real culprits!
Thousands died and I... did things that today make me despise myself!
I understand that the Royal Family had their reasons for keeping this from me and my family, but that doesn't change the fact of the things I did that I now feel!
I no longer see myself being qualified to serve the Royal Family, nor this Kingdom!" - Said Luria with sadness and determination in her gaze.
Gratya looked into Luria's eyes, then to her husband who's eyes are closed and silent.
"What will you do in case you give up everything?" - Gratya asked.
"I... have the desire to accompany Juri on his journey through our world, I wish to grow stronger and... kill as many of these Occultists as possible, who I now know exist everywhere!" - Said Luria determined!
"A truly noble act... Luria Whinter, I will release you from your duties as a Knight of the Realm, but you will retain your Noble Status, for that is something in your blood and you deserve it!
As Queen of this nation, I need to apologize to you for the lies and actions taken, but that's just it, what we do is for the best of the Kingdom!" - Said Gratya interlacing her fingers and resting them in her lap.
Soon she looked at Juri and said. - "Human from another world, Juri Han, you are a very peculiar individual, your information being of extreme use to this Kingdom, as we now know of one of the main negative and corrupted influences in our Nation!
Even if you refuse our rewards, you will still be rewarded, since by my daughter's information, you have delivered to us what would be the Base of your World, which many of our scholars are already studying and discovering wonderful things, including our Archmage and Guardian of this Nation, Neferu, had many inspirations with the information from your world!
As such, we will give you copies of books from the Royal Library, since from the information we have, your world lacks magical knowledge, so we will give them to you and wish you good studies!
As for you Luria Whinter, you will be rewarded monetarily for your services to date and for influencing Juri to deliver this list of crucial information to us, as well as you will be rewarded with the White Knights Handbook, we wish you luck and progress on your journey my child!"
Luria was amazed, since the [White Knights Manual], is a set of Aura Techniques and Martial Arts of the highest Level, one needs to have enormous talent to learn it and when one learns it, there will be a substantial increase in personal strength.
Take Lalarins for example, she is very strong and talented, but she has no success in the [White Knights Manual], even though she has the opportunity to access it.
We've already looked at Preyor, he 50 years ago would have had strength on par with Lalarins, but then he had success in understanding parts of the [White Knights Manual].
This increased his strength exponentially and to this day there is some progress, but he has not come to understand the full immensity of the technique.
Even if she herself is unable to understand the technique, at least she will improve significantly in strength with the help of her information.
It can be said to be one of the best Techniques for warriors in the world, surely there must be many of similar or higher quality since the world is so giant, but for the Winter Elves, it is certainly in the Top 3!
Juri didn't know what the [White Knights' Handbook] was, but from Luria's reaction, where her breathing even got heavy, it's certainly no small thing.
(Note: Wow, this chapter got really long!)
