"Lord Julius, his majesty king albert is calling you." One of the men said but that old man didn't bother to look behind, as he knows these guys were coming to see him.
"Ok, let's go to the palace," Julius responded to those two men without any expression on his face. and his gaze again fell on those ruins for the last time.
''I Think I Am Getting Old" Julius thought to himself and disappeared from that place like a ghost.
The Martha Kingdom ruled over the whole continent. The king being "Albert Martha" and Queen "alena Martha". They were the pillars of the Martha kingdom, albert has many wives but he cherished alena most.
Everyone is bound to obey the imperial Royal Family because thousands years ago in the Great War the Martha kingdom's ancestor was one of the kings who confronted the Vampires and lead the humanity to victory. Many officials know about this battle and its history, that is why no one dares to go against the kingdom fearing their power and authority.
Meanwhile,
Morning came and slight banging was heard on the front door. Arthur's mother Leona opened the door and bent down to look at the cute girl who was standing in front of their door.
She was a young girl around ten years old with deep blue eyes short hair and a white milky face, she was looking like a cute doll. that girl looked towards Leona and slightly bowed and gave a smile.
"Ohhh, Lissy Come inside, Would you like to eat breakfast? Arthur is eating his breakfast, After that, you can head to the school." Leona said to lissy.
That girl was a classmate and the neighbour of Arthur. Leona was very close to Lissy's mother and her husband used to work at the same place where Lisy's father used to work as a city kinght.
"Thank you, Auntie Leona, I am already full before coming here I ate my breakfast, where is Arthur, we are getting late for school" Lissy looked at Leona as she said.
"Tada...I am here" a voice came inside the house and Arthur approach, Lissy and Leona, seeing Arthur Lissy took a deep sigh while Leon smiled and hugged him.
"Both of you take care and look for each other and dont go anywhere else, straight go to school and come back to directly home" Leona looked at Arthur as she said.
Lissy giggle as she heard Leona while Arthur smiled at his mother and kissed her on the forehead before leaving the home along with Lissy.
Sometimes later,
"Brother Arthur you are looking quite tired, did you not get enough sleep last night or you are just thinking about what Mona sister told us, "lisy said as she looked at Arthur who is slightly looking tired.
"No, I have slept enough. But I don't know why I'm feeling tired right now" Arthur replied to lisy who was walking beside him. Lissy nodded her head in response.
The Distance from Fiora City and their school was roughly around 20 minutes of walking distance and both of them used to daily travel this far, sometimes they go in groups but sometimes only these two travel alone.
After ten minutes of walking, they spotted the huge deserted ruins,lissy gulped as her gaze went towards those ruins,she heard a lot of rumours about these ruins which is existed near to their city. Nobody dared to go near those ruins because of the rumours and the fear of the Royal Family. but Arthur was a very adamant and curious boy, he was thinking the whole time about the story of the vampires which he heard from mona and his mother.
"Hey brother Arthur, what Mona said about those vampire is true? Did you ask Aunty Leona about those rumours?" Lisy asked curiously while looking towards the direction of the ruins.
"No, my mother told me that vampires do not exist anymore. They were annihilated during the Great War thousands years ago, But I dont belive that vampire existed,and i will prove to everyone that those rumours are just a rumours and nothing else or I won't be able to sleep tonight!" Arthur replied to lisy as he made up his mind already that he is going to explore those ruins.
"Are you crazy brother Arthur?" Lisy said in a scared voice. her mind was blown up as she heard him.she then continued as she dont want arthur to make any mistakes.she knows this boy is very troublesome and despite her young age she always take care of him.
"those ruins are a very dangerous place, we should never try to go there, if mother and aunty Leona heard that you went inside she might be angry with you" She tried to persuade Arthur but alas he didn't care about her speech as he looking at the ruins.
"Hey Lissy you wait here I will be back soon and then we will head to school, there is still time before the school start" Arthur smiled at her.
And After saying those words he rushed towards the ruins which were existed near the academy where they went to study, it took Arthur a few moments to reach the entrance of ruins.
The structure of these ruins had mostly been destroyed. Two pillars were situated at the entrance, although they had mostly fallen apart.These ruins were shrouded in mystery, from the origin to the purpose. seeing those ruins in front of his eyes he gulped the mouthful saliva and clenched his little fist and entered the ruins without looking back.
Meanwhile, Lisy was looking very nervous and scared while she looking at Arthur.
"Damn it what should I do now he never listened to me, that dummy brother of mine always looking for trouble" she whispered to herself as cold sweat appear on her face.
