The Kingdom was in an uproar. Nobody dared to do this kind of feat before, not just because they don't know there was such a magic for it, but because offending the Phantera Kingdom was not worth it.

In the throne room stood a middle-aged man, wearing a royalty dress with white tiger roaring embroidered on it. He had a handsome face with a white-snow beard that connected to his sideburns. That pair of golden eyes and not-so-thick eyebrows were the perfect combination for his serious personality. He had the tendency of tapping his index finger on the throne.

After hearing the terrible news at the auction and now somebody just shouting his daughter's name, he was really in a bad mood.

"Guards, search for the imbecile that dares to shout my daughter's name so casually and bring him to me," despite the bad mood, he didn't raise his voice to command, but the guards still felt fear and respect toward this man.

The man on the throne than got up from his seat, and revealed his stature. He was a tall man with bulging muscles that could slap a person to reincarnation. However, there was a black-stripped white-tail, which as long as his arm.

This person was the current King of the Phantera Kingdom, Anskar Phantera. When he was young, he was the only one after the founder of the kingdom to be accepted by the ancient beast, white tiger and gained its inheritance. Since he was accepted by the ancient beast, the throne was naturally his.

Anskar was in front of Luna's chamber.

*Clank

*Creak

The father and daughter met face to face. There was only a tension between them, however, Anskar thought nothing of it.

"You should know why I'm here," said Anskar calmly.

Luna's glare didn't diminish at all, "I want to know father ... why are you doing this? Is it true, because you want a grandson with the strongest bloodline."

"Who is the one that shouts your name?" said Anskar, refusing to answer Luna.

Then she stopped her glare and sighed, "He is my hope ..."

There was no anger inside Anskar's eyes and he just walked away.

Luna gritted her teeth and slammed the door.

------------------------

Wearing a disguise, Lyon changed his appearance into that of a scholar. Not even Jugen and Karina knew that this was Lyon. Wearing a green robe and glasses, he scrambled his hair up.

The guards were searching in every road for the person responsible, however, they had no idea that the person they were looking was buying a snack on the street vendor like it was none of his business.

What he was buying was a squid snack being grilled with open fire with a stick piercing through. Glazed in melted butter, with a sprinkle of cheese on top of it, the people couldn't help but buy it.

This was the most popular snack in the Phantera Kingdom and it cost about one gold per bag, with one bag containing about ten sticks.

*grug

Two guards were rushing to where Lyon was at.

"Excuse me, sir, do you have any info about the incident just now?" said one of the guards.

*tak

The sounds of the snack about to ripe entered the three.

"Hey, old man, give me two more bags for these gentlemen. They worked so hard, I want to give them something as appreciation," said Lyon.

Both of the guards were surprised but they didn't mind (Finally, someone recognises our hard work!).

"What was the question again?" asked Lyon.

"Oh right, do you have any info about the incident just now?" asked one of the guards.

"Oh, that, I did that," said Lyon.

"HAHAHA, you're joking right?" laughed the guards.

"Hahaha, you got me there," said Lyon (Well, not my fault, I already admitted it.).

"Here you go, that would be three golds," said the old man which was the vendor seller.

*caching

Then Lyon gave the guards the snacks he promised, "I have no clue what just happened, but maybe if you could trace the magic back, then you might know the culprit," said Lyon while munching his squid. "But you need a special talent to pull that through, which luckily, I know someone like that."

*munch

*munch

"Oh, who is it?" said one of the guard after gulping down.

"My wife hahaha," said Lyon.

*gulp

"Brother please help us, our King is not in the mood. It would certainly help if your wife could find the culprit." said one of the guard.

"Sure, but let's meet the king first, to gain his permission," said Lyon.

------------------------

Then the three of them walked up to the inn to pick-up Lyon's wife.

*knock

*knock

"Honey, let's help them search the culprit," said Lyon from in front of the room.

*creak

A beautiful person appeared right in front of their eyes. She was wearing a beautiful Phantera's woman clothing. Her white clothing was a match to her blue rose hair which she tied it to a bun. Although her pair of eyes had a different colour from one to another, it only brought more charm, like sweet summer memory.

"Bro, you are such a lucky man." said one of the guard.

"Thank you," said Kyoko.

------------------------

Then they proceeded to take an audience with the king.

Surprisingly, he was not alone in the throne! Luna was there beside him. Hearing the news that someone might know how to catch the culprit, of course, she would be worried.

Lyon was stunned when he arrived inside of the throne room, he was looking at Luna's peerless countenance at this moment.

"Your majesty, these are the people that could help us trace the culprit." said one of the guard with a bow.

Anskar raised his hand to signalled the guard to leave.

"What proof do you have that you can trace magic," said Anskar looking at Lyon.

"Oh, it's not me, it's my wife over here," said Lyon.

Then Kyoko activated her red-eye, to inspect Anskar.

"Your majesty, I see you have four elemental affinities of rare attributes. You have the wind to aid your journey, fire to boost your stamina, thunder to smite your opponents and lastly the special attribute of a white tiger," said Kyoko with a relaxing tone.

The King was startled for a while because what Kyoko said was right, the affinities of a king could only be known by the members of the royalty.

Even though Luna was also startled, she was more curious about the green robe guy. She was pondering for a while.

"Hmm, looks like you know what you're doing, then I shall grant you permission, you can ask the guards if necessary," said Anskar before he continued, "Don't worry if you could find the culprit you shall be rewarded, and one more thing, don't spread my affinity to anyone or you will be penalized."

"Many thanks," said both Lyon and Kyoko.

*tap

*flash

As Lyon walked outside approaching the door of the throne room, his right arm flashed. Lyon only smiled at this, (She is clever indeed).

Luna, on the other hand, had little giggles and she was trying to hide it from his father by burying her head in her right arm.

"Hmm? what's wrong Luna?" asked Anskar.

Luna then started to run away to her chamber.

Anskar was dumbfounded, (What's wrong with my daughter?).
