Silver Throne

The Day Before the Tournament

Aurum City is one of the largest and most populous cities in the Silverash region, so it's no wonder that it's quite crowded on a typical day.

But today is very different, this is a big festival that is held every 3 years will soon begin.

Actually, this festival was originally held once a year to commemorate the day in the building of the city of Aurum and the festival was not as lively as the festival that occurs today.

The reason why the festival was changed to three years is due to the decision of the current governor of Aurum.

Before serving as the current governor of the city of Aurum, Brian Eleanor was an elected Guardian at a very young age.

In addition to being extremely talented on his Knight path, he was also known for his incredible devotion and loyalty to the Silverash family and that was why the Silverash family gave him such a high position after he retired.

The journey of Brian's life can be said to be very extraordinary, from ordinary people to become a Guardian who has a very high status and finally retired as the governor of the city of Aurum, he was a legendary figure in the minds of the hot-blooded youngsters who were in the Silverash region.

In fact, there is a very popular book called The Guardian of Light made by a famous author in the Silverash region, which is a popular book, the book tells the story of Brian's journey from what was originally just an ordinary person until he was able to reach his current position.

But behind all that, Brian actually has a regret that continues to overshadow him all this time that he can not fight side by side with the Master and his brothers again as before.

So in order to make up for this sense of regret in his heart, he could only look for a very talented person and guide him until he fulfilled the requirements to become a Guardian.

And this is where the start of the talent tournament in the city of Aurum was held, but at the first time in the title, the, this tournament did not attract much attention because at that time the funds used were very limited so the awards for the champions were also not much.

Therefore, Brian took the initiative to change the time of the festival to 3 years so that the funds raised to 3 times the previous.

And because of his unrelenting efforts, Brian finally managed to make the Aurum city festival one of the most anticipated events by young people from all over the Silverash region and even to the neighboring kingdom.

Evan, who is currently on the top floor of a luxury restaurant, cannot help but appreciate the actions taken by Brian.

" Hmm, this Brian is such a meritorious person to my family, not only did he sacrifice his life to save the current head of the Silverash family until he suffered such severe injuries that it caused him to retire, even after that he was still able to use his intelligence and make a huge contribution to the family.

His devotion and loyalty are indeed very praiseworthy, if I could, I would very much like to repay this favor by making his successor my Guardian, but his son is only 2 years old, while for his daughter... "

Instantly Evan recalled the incident a few days ago where there was a blonde Knight girl with a very charming and beautiful face trying to drive him from the side of the road.

" Although his talent is quite good, but his attitude and personality.sigh, forget it, I will only think about it when the time comes, but what should I do now, it turns out that the tournament will officially start tomorrow morning and the festival is very boring.

Oh, right too, Isabell is a village hick who probably has never seen an event of this magnitude, I'm going to go get him to play. "

" Hmph, I will not go with you Young Master. "

Suddenly a voice rang out from Evan's back and as he looked back, he saw Isabell who was wearing a maid outfit was glaring at him sharply while puffing both of his cheeks like a balloon.

" Oh, that hick des-, ahem..I mean Isabell, didn't you go tell William, what about him ? "

" Hmphc. "

Isabell gave a cold snort and ignored Evan's question, marking the quarrel between Master and servant.

...

In the center of Aurum there is a very spacious and beautiful castle, although not as big and spacious as the Silverash family castle, but this castle is much larger than the castle of the nobles in general.

The castle is the residence of the current governor of Aurum, Brian Eleanor.

Right now, in a corridor inside the castle, there was a beautiful blonde girl wearing a full Knight armor suit was walking in a hurry.

This girl was Sofia who had just returned from her journey to investigate the annihilation of the Silver Wind bandit group.

Judging from the way she walked, Sofia seemed to be in such a hurry and for some reason her rare legs became faster as time went by until after she had passed through several corridors, he finally slowed down his steps and stopped in front of a door guarded by two servants.

" Mister is currently busy taking care of various documents about the Young Miss festival, he advised that no one bothers him for a while. "

" Tell my father I want to see him, there's something very important that I have to tell him as soon as possible. "

" Okay, Young Miss, please wait a moment. "

After finishing his words, the servant immediately entered the room behind the door, but not long after, he reappeared.

" Mister invites you to enter Miss. "

" Hmm, thank you. "

Sofia who had obtained permission, quickly opened the door herself without waiting for the servants to open it.

Behind the door Sofia saw a blonde-haired, middle-aged lung man sitting at her desk reading some documents.

This man had a very handsome appearance, a tall nose, golden eyes and short blonde hair that was neatly cut made him like a perfect prince figure in the delusion of many young girls.

This person was none other than Sofia's father and the current governor of the city of Aurum, Brian Eleanor.

" So what important news you want to tell me makes you have to rush to see me after your long journey. "

Brian put down the dokunem he was holding at the moment and looked at Sofia curiously.

" Do you know father, when I investigated the case of the annihilation of the Silver Wind bandit group, I accidentally found a sword slash on the ground that still held a bit of Aura left in it.

And after I researched, Aura had the characteristic colors and attributes that only the direct members of the Silverash family had. "

" so ? "

" So there's a good chance that after exterminating those bandits, he'll come here to look around at the festival, don't you understand it's dad. "

" Be calm Sofia, actually the information you brought is outdated, a few months ago I received word that the second Young Master of the Silverash family had left Ash city to hone himself. "

" Hmm, Second Young Master?, what do you mean Young Master Evan and not Young Master Ernest, Master Evan is several years easier compared to Mr. Ernest, how could he possibly destroy a large-scale bandit group like Silver Wind. "

Sofia was a little disappointed when she heard that the upcoming one was not the first Young Master who would most likely inherit the position of family leader and have the right to vote for his Guardian directly.

When her father saw her gloomy expression, he immediately understood what this daughter was thinking and inevitably he let out a long sigh before saying something that made Sofia very surprised.

" Sigh, it seems like you've locked yourself up in the training room too much even until you're unaware of the situation that's happened recently.

Young Master Evan was a genius who managed to awaken his Bloodline when he was very young, so it was most likely that he would inherit the position of the head of the family, this is general information that is very easy to find out if you spend a little effort.

It is said that Mr. Evan has talent and intelligence that far exceeds that of a child of his age and may be able to lead us all towards an era of unprecedented prosperity. "

When Sofia heard that, her heartbeat became extremely fast which illustrated how excited she was right now.

[If what Dad said is true, I have to perform very well in this tournament to attract Mr. Evan's attention, this is an opportunity I may never get again in my lifetime.

Not only do I want to see the era of prosperity built by Young Master but I also want to contribute to building that era. ]

" If there's nothing else, you can leave, as you can see I'm very busy here, you better prepare yourself for the upcoming tournament. "

" Hm. "

Brian's words immediately woke Sofia from his imagination, after nodding lightly, he immediately turned around and left his father's study.
