Liam nodded grateful for his understanding and now he couldn't wait to find out the truth about him.

When Kevin explained to him who he really was and that his soul had transmigrated into their world, he found it hard to believe it at first.

But he had to admit that Kevin's attitude didn't fit at all with an 18-year-old kid who had just found out he was a mage, he had a kind of wisdom that could only come from a lot of experience.

And that also explained why he was having this kind of nightmare, the traumatic experience he had gone through had to come from his previous life.

Kevin had been hesitant to tell him about the System or not, but Axel had reminded him by their telepathic link that they had agreed that if they started to reveal the truth then they had to reveal everything.

So Liam got the full explanation, from the blood pact with the book to the inventory demonstration, but Liam was less curious than Alan and Erik and he asked fewer questions.historical

However, he understood better why he wanted to reveal who he really was and where he came from only to his close friends.

Liam after Kevin assured him that he wasn't an assassin anymore and that he wasn't interested to become one again felt reassured, and he was glad that his instincts hadn't been wrong about him.

With the potential he had, he was already destined to become one of the most powerful mages, but with his knowledge and experience in combat that made him someone extremely dangerous, luckily he looked like he just wanted to live a peaceful life with Axel, at least that's what he thought.

Kevin finally said : "What I'm about to reveal to you now might be a shock for you."

Liam looked at him and smirked in spite of himself, saying : "Even more than the fact that you have been the best assassin of your home world, that your soul after your death has transmigrated into our world in a weak mage body, and that you have a system that helps you grow stronger and stronger ?"

Kevin scratched the back of his head feeling a little embarrassed .. said like that, what he still had to reveal to him didn't sound so shocking anymore.

He told him after getting his man's agreement : "I'm going to show it to you it will be better that way."

Kevin then took off his sweater and his t-shirt, and when he finally took off his breastplate, Liam was indeed shocked.

In front of him stood his rightful king .. His rightful king .. Everyone had been looking for him since the death of the previous bearer of the Pentagram Mark and some even thought that he had been killed and that there was no more hope.

Liam cursed because he was truly shocked, but he immediately apologized and Kevin smiled at him as he put his breastplate and clothes back on.

Liam's thoughts were really chaotic right now, all he managed to say was : "An orphan .. You are an orphan who has been taken care by an orphanage in the nearest city to the Sun Sect .. So you really are the missing son of the Queen .. She told us that she had begged your father to take you to a safe place but without telling anyone, like that even under torture nobody would be able to reveal anything.

We didn't know if you were still alive or not .. I knew your father well ... I mean the former bearer of the Pentagram Mark, he was what Alan is to Axel, he was my best friend and my partner of duo fights when we were younger.

If I became a legendary wolf it's because I fought alongside him on the border against the demons .. A few months before his death he asked me to enter the Sun Sect as an instructor and that I had to make sure to become one of his leaders, he told me it was important .. I understand better why now."

He stopped and thought about what Kevin had told him, and he looked at him asking for confirmation : "You said he was killed in an alley and you took possession of his body."

Kevin nodded and Liam continued : "You said that the mark of the pentagram only appeared after you made the blood pact with the book, and he was already 18 at this time, isn't it ?"

Kevin nodded again not knowing where Liam was going with this : "So, the true son of the King and the Queen wouldn't have been the bearer of the Pentagram Mark no matter what ... All the former bearers of the Pentagram Mark have received their mark on their 18th birthday."

Kevin finally understood why he had said that : "You are wrong Liam, if I had been the King and had to hide my son, knowing that at 18 he was likely to receive the mark of the pentagram, I would have made sure to change his birthday so that on his 18th birthday he would be safe.

The annual recruitment of mages and fighters by the Sun Sect has always been on the same date. ?

At least that was what he remembered from his memories of this world, he continued : ? His father wanted his son to be placed under the Sun Sect's responsibility before it happened, it's as simple as that, and you have to be 18 to be recruited, so the only way was to change the date of his birthday.

And that's also why he wanted you to become one of the leaders of the Sun Sect so that you could protect his son. Only, he hadn't planned that he would be killed before he could even be recruited."

Liam thought about what Kevin had just told him and indeed it looked a lot like Xander to do that kind of thing, he then asked to him : "Then tell me, when exactly did you get the Pentagram Mark ?"

Kevin thought carefully before answering : "The 19th of this month, around 11pm."

Liam chuckled feeling helpless, he hadn't been able to save the son of his best friend, but he swore to himself that he will protect Kevin no matter what.

His soul had transmigrated into their world, into the body of their rightful king, call it fate or whatever, it didn't matter.

He was the bearer of the Pentagram Mark and he would have to shoulder sooner or later a lot of responsibilities.

He then said to him : "Xander's son was borned the 19th of the 8th months at 10..48pm."
