THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE 241 The Story Behind The Mysterious Sword

Ben said excitedly, " You are not from this country. So you don't know the story behind that sword."

Ben continued, " Before I explain about that sword, I will tell you a story that happened about 5 billion years ago. Hamsworth kingdom that we live is one of the oldest kingdom in the world. At that time, the kingdom was really at it's peak. The king was really caretaking person. He had seven sons. Each one of them were handsome and were very capable. But there could only be one crown prince who could ascend the throne. Since all seven of them were equally capable, the king decided to announce the first prince as the crown prince. The other six princes didn't like it. After all it wasn't their fault for coming to this world a little late. But they didn't argue with the king. After all, it was the decision made by the king himself. They didn't have the enough courage to raise their objections. But a grudge took place in the heart of the six princes. It was against the First prince at the beginning. But it turned towards the king too for taking the decision by tras.h.i.+ng all their hopes and hard work into pieces. Heart broken princes waited for an opportunities to get back on the first prince and the king."

Ben continued, " But they didn't know the true purpose for the king to choose the first prince as his successor. It was devotion. The first prince was kind hearted, pure, good sense of justice and loved people very much. The first prince never had any intentions to succeed the throne. He was ready to take up any responsibilities his father would a.s.sign him to. But the king forced him to prove his talent. Since he was the first king, it was very much necessary to become the candidate for succeeding the throne. It was due to this reason, that the first prince took place in the race to become the next king. Since all seven of them are equally good, the king chosen the first prince because of his good qualities."

Ben continued, " The name of the first prince was Airen! Prince Airen was loved by everyone since he always talks and give the aura of a family member to everyone. One day Prince Airen went to a nearby city known as Vulge City. He got a complaint about a murder that took place in the City Lord Mansion. If it was someone else, Prince Airen would have sent someone else. But the one who died was the City Lord himself. Vulge City's city lord was someone Prince Airen knew for the long time. So Prince Airen left immediately after he received the news. If City Lord would have died alone, Prince Airen would be a little sad. But his entire family was killed overnight. Prince Airen couldn't take the blow so he left immediately.".

Ben continued, " After reaching the Vague city, Prince Airen learned that the killers were pretty much professionals as they didn't leave any traces or clues behind. The murder was neat and clean as if it was a natural murder. At that time Prince Airen learned that there was only one survivor among the City Lord's family. It was the daughter of that City Lord who was studying in a school in the academy. Since the academy was very far, she lived in a dormitory of the academy. She was very young and an Heaven Defying Genius who entered the G.o.d realm in willpower at the age of 60."

Ben continued, " Since Prince Airen was kind hearted person, he took that girl to his Royal Palace and arranged for her living. As time pa.s.sed by both Prince Airen and that beautiful got closer and closer and finally fell in love with each other. Since that girl's talent was a monstrous one, the king immediately agreed to it. But it angered the other prince even more. First they lost the rights to become a king. And now an heaven defying genius and a supreme beauty in that was being married to the first prince. They didn't accept this truth. Their hatred for the first prince and the king grew even more."

Ben continued, " On the event of the wedding of the first prince and that beautiful girl, the six prince poisoned the king without the king's knowledge. It was a slow poison. Because they didn't want the king to die immediately. They wanted the king to suffer very badly for all the injustice he has done for them. At the same time they poisoned the first prince too. Prince Airen started to suffer in the pain and agony. His newly wed wife started to worry about him. At that time the other six prince showed their true face as they revealed the reason behind their act. But the biggest and heartbreaking truth which they revealed was that the one who killed the City Lord of the Vulge city and his family was none other the a.s.sa.s.sins they have arranged. Because they wanted to take revenge for all the injustice both the father and son duo has done for them."

Ben continued, " This angered the Prince Airen very much. He stood up with his remaining strength and took out his sword. He fought bravely along with his new wife. His wife was really heartbroken. She wanted to take revenge against those demons. But they were simply outnumbered. They easily defeated the first prince and his wife. On the verge of death Prince Airen said 'SORRY' to his wife. That was his last words. At that time, that girl stood up in rage. She lost her parents. She lost her husband. And all of them were killed by the same people. She used a forbidden techniques in order to take her revenge."

Ben continued, " She sacrificed Prince Airen's soul and transformed into a sword. While she sacrificed her own soul and cursed the Royal kingdom's entire bloodline. Since that day if the people with the Royal Bloodline comes in Contact with the sunlight, their soul will start to burn. It didn't limit to that. If anyone who comes in the physical contact with the people of the Royal Bloodline, they will also fall in the curse. Since that day, the people of the Royal Palace didn't come out of their home."

Arjun asked, " What about that king. Did he die just like that?"

Ben said, " No. Even though the king was betrayed by his own sons and was poisoned, he didn't want his bloodline to come to an end just like that. So he also used a Forbidden technique and sacrificed his own soul. In exchange, he put a barrier around the Royal Palace. As long as his descendants didn't leave the Royal Palace, they won't die. So the Royal bloodline of the king Hamsworth still lives even today."

Ben said, " Prince Airen was turned into a sword. The king turned into a protective barrier and protecting his bloodline from extingus.h.i.+ng. As for that girl, she sacrificed her soul and became a curse and attached to the soul of the Royal Bloodline."

Ben asked, " Big brother! I think you identified who that girl that married the first prince is right?"

Arjun nodded his head. He sighed in disappointment when he heard the story. He said,

"Princess Shayana!!!"
