"A new Blood Prince was born together with the sun today, announce this news to the whole world!"
The Sheikh, slipping away from among the beauties falling asleep right next to him, stood up and shouted with a tone of voice that would make the earth and sky ring.
Of course, he was aware that what happened was already reported to the other sects and the Royal Family, but with this attitude of his, he was declaring he had no fear of anyone.
"Third, you will handle the affairs from now on, I am in seclusion until the selection of the warriors we will send to that nonsense they call festivities!"
Then, as if everything was very normal, he turned and prepared to go; everyone was looking at his back. After taking one or two steps, the Sheikh turned suddenly; there was that familiar mischievous expression on his face.
"By the way, if there is anyone wanting to challenge, don't hesitate, the Third will show you all the way!"
Atractivo released his blood energy once more; this was another way of saying bow your heads and walk away to those present in the square.
The ending of the fuss took until noon hours; although the people found here for almost a full day dispersed like a flock of frightened birds, some were enjoying the moments passing like a dream.
"Did you see? That kid they call Young Count passed all six circles and broke the formation!"
"How could I not see, although no one speaks openly, the four sects and the Royal Family squeeze us more every passing day. Let's see what they will do on top of this news?"
The large majority among the public was aware of what was going on; what happened not only fueled their slowly disappearing hopes but also heralded that magnificent days would be returned to.
"Sir, I guess you had to fight with the young lady?"
When Count Jashua came next to Nora examining the surroundings with a joyless expression, he had to direct the question he resisted a lot not to ask.
"It was her in the flesh!"
Nora in the disguise of a young girl spoke as if spitting; the bitter taste left by the war was still in her mouth.
"How was she?"
When Count Jashua found an opening, he couldn't hold himself back.
"She has not the slightest relation with the person whose blood circulates in my veins, she was literally a scum. A strong scum dominating being aware of this!"
The Young Count didn't prolong it further; hitting the road together with the sect officials coming to accompany them, they proceeded.
From a square full of candidates, only a handful of people had barely remained; while they were making their way towards the sect extending towards the mountain the settlement leaned its back against, the public and guests started leaving slowly.
Meanwhile, what happened in the Holy Blood Sect participation exams was being talked about in all four corners of the Hell Realm; spies in clans hadn't been late regarding conveying the news to their own organizations.
In a forest where dense vegetation dominated, there was a rush inside the palace formed by giant trees combining their branches.
"A new Blood Prince appeared, what will we do?"
The man sitting on his throne formed by stacking block stones on top of each other stood up from his place upon this question and walked towards the young boy kneeling.
There was an unpleasant but uncaring expression on his face; hitting the boy's shoulder, he raised him.
"You will take care of him at the festival, just as you will take care of the bastard those lowlifes will send!"
The young boy hit the ground making his hand on the floor a fist; the crack formed stopped only when it reached the block stones forming the throne.
In the other three sects remaining outside the Holy Earth Sect too, the news was met with this and similar reactions. The Fire, Ice, and Spirit Sects were after tearing a huge piece from the falling Holy Blood Sect.
Only in a single place, the new news would be welcomed in a way that wouldn't be seen perhaps even in the Holy Blood Sect lands.
A person walking turning their back to the rising sun had covered themselves with their clothes in a way only their eyes would be seen; they were walking sinking and rising inside the sands crushed under their feet at every step.
While vultures circling above their head and predators stopping a few tens of meters away and waiting for them to fall accompanied them, they stopped when they came next to pieces of wood collapsed on top of each other.
When they uncovered their face and kneeled, their clear green eyes and sparkling skin were dazzling. When they spoke trembling their elegant lips, it was revealed that this person was a woman.
"My Sheikh, the Holy Blood Sect brought out a new Blood Prince!"
The moment her words ended, the slight earth protrusion the woods covered started trembling, and then a pale gray hand came out.
Then the sounds of bodies falling to the sand one after another were heard; all of the beings following the woman until that time had died.
Everyone had heard the news, only the head of the Royal Family and the Queen of the Hell Realm Eyshan was just waking up from her sleep. Even the Second Zebani waiting at the head of her door hadn't dared to wake her up and tell this big news.
However, the Second Zebani could go into her presence after she had her morning breakfast; the news was bad and only he could give this. As he guessed, things got out of hand; while the bedroom was within servants, it started catching fire.
The servants were Holy Fire Sect disciples too, but none of them had the power to endure the Sea of Flame Eyshan created. Although the Second Zebani wasn't harmed, while he was in distress due to the situation he fell into, this fire lasted until the stone floor of the room started melting.
"Right now, when the time we will finish their job came, did this Blood Prince appear!"
There was a questioning attitude in her voice; the Second Zebani couldn't risk being late even a second.
"Yes sir!"
"Are you sure he passed the Six Circles?"
The Second Zebani swallowed first, then answered closing his eyes.
"I am sure sir, he passed this test in front of everyone's eyes!"
One more heat wave scorched the stone walls; Eyshan threw herself outside with fury, to the balcony opening to the wide sky. The Zebani's job was finished, he left the room rapidly. When he stepped into the corridor the door opened to, a scene he didn't expect welcomed him; the Queen's flames had scorched those waiting outside too.
The large-built man continued walking crushing the scattered ashes; he had a state as if he didn't want to stop here even a second more. The woman on the balcony was quite restless too; despite the perfect scene stretching in its full length before her eyes, she bent the handrails she held from her anger.
"Whore, you died yourself but your curse continues!"
The Queen tossed her coal-black hair extending down to her waist; taking her eyes from the volcano presenting itself with all its majesty across her, she turned them in the direction of the Holy Blood Sect.
"At the end of this year, no one who breathed the same air as you will remain on earth, the account between us will be closed!"
At the same moments, Nora, feeling a shiver, was watching below from the back of the Blood Eagle they rode.
"Someone mentioned me, let's hope for the best!"
