Celestial Bloodline

Chapter 239 Unfairness

Kyle looked around as he followed behind a black-haired Royal guard. The long hallway was filled with stunning architecture and beautiful artwork. Many old pictures were hanging vertically on the walls.

His eyes trailed to the guard walking in front of him. More specifically he was gazing at the silver armor around the guard's body. It was shining with a bright glint and looked quite expensive.

Kyle looked at himself and clicked his tongue. After the event, he wasn't able to change into a clean set of clothes.

Suddenly, Kyle caught sight of a painting hanging on his left. His steps halted for a second. The painting showed the image of a middle-aged elf sitting on a plain chair. She was wearing a long grey dress and her long hair was flowing on her shoulders. Amidst her beauty, Kyle's gaze landed on her wrists. She was wearing a pair of porcelain bracelets, the same as the ones Yue had.

'I almost forgot about the bracelets. Hmm, Does Yue know the bracelets are parts of an artifact?'

He pondered for a while but then threw the matter at the back of his head. After walking for a few minutes, the guard stopped in front of a large door.

He opened the door and looked at Kyle.

"Just go in, someone will explain to you what you have to do next."

Kyle nodded at him and staggered inside with silent steps. He looked around with a raised brow because the place looked more like a big room instead of a hall. A large table filled with sweets and drinks was set up in the middle.

Immediately his gaze landed at the group of participants and nobles standing around the table.

Kyle chuckled when his eyes traveled to a few familiar faces who were getting scolded by their elders. Among them the most pitiful one was Regius. He has his head hung low as Dynn patted his head with an evil smile.

Kyle watched their interaction quietly when the door behind him was swung open with a loud sound.

Almost everyone looked at the door but their eyes flashed with surprise when they saw Kyle standing in front of the door.

It was quite strange because no one noticed his presence. The nobles were the ones who looked the most taken aback because they weren't weak.

Kyle frowned when he sensed many eyes boring at his body. He ignored them and looked back at the door.

A few familiar faces were standing behind him. First, the Royal envoy and Jolee, and behind them, a few participants were standing. Yue was also among those participants.

Jolee gazed at Kyle with a smile and silently went to the middle of the room to gather the crowd's attention.

"The second round ended with this batch of participants. It's a pity only 116 participants passed the second round but I am glad because the number is a lot higher than my expectations."

Her voice was vibrant when she looked at the participants with a bright smile.

"Alright, my work is done here. I will go check on the other kids. Enkin will tell you about everything else. So, take care, kids."

She swept her gaze at the participants one last time and left the room.

All the nobles gathered together and formed a group. On the other hand, the young kids formed a group and stared at the Royal envoy, Enkin.

Kyle went toward Regius and patted his shoulder.

"Had fun. I saw the old man was lashing at you."

Regius groaned and slapped his hand away.

"Don't get me started. He was the one who permitted me to enter the event and now he is the one who is grumbling like grandma."

Kyle sensed Dynn's gaze. The old man was standing with the nobles. Kyle gave him a nod without knowing the meaning behind his deep stare.

At the same time, Enkin cleared his throat and started speaking with a serious expression.

"I believe after fighting for two whole months the kids would be tired. That's why everyone should rest for a week. The talk about the special training will commence after the week. In the meantime, all the kids can stay in a comfortable hotel I booked in the capital city because so many people can't stay in the Royal Castle."

His voice turned grave.

"Remember, you can't leave the Capital city. Those who have families should contact them because, after the rest week, you will not be able to see or contact your families for a long time."

Enkin passed and took out many round pendants from his storage ring. The pendants started floating, heading straight toward the participants.

"These pendants are for safety purposes. So, put it inside your storage rings. With the pendants, we can know your location."

Kyle grabbed the green pendant floating in front of him. He wanted to place it in his mind space but then stopped and just tied it with his clothes.

The Royal envoy nodded when the kids carefully placed the pendants in their storage rings.

"Now, I will distribute rewards to every one according to their ranking. So, come to me one by one."

Kyle's mood became sour as he watched the excited participants heading toward the Royal envoy one by one. They all got similar golden boxes, Kyle wanted to peek inside Regius's box but the latter immediately hid it inside his storage ring with a smirk.

Kyle grumbled at the unfairness. He stared at the Royal envoy who was taking out one box after another. After a few seconds of consideration, Kyle went toward him, thinking maybe he would also get a box but the Royal envoy chased him away with a sharp glare.

The next few minutes were quite torturing for Kyle as he watched the happy participants.

After Enkin was done he looked at Dynn and the nobles.

"The adults should leave now. I will escort the kids to the hotel they are staying for the next week."

One by one all the older people started leaving, Dynn went toward Kyle and Regius with a serious expression.

"I will meet with the King to find the reason behind all this. You brats, until then take care of yourself and don't do anything reckless. Also, Kyle, I don't know your identity but if Regius acknowledged you as a friend even after knowing everything that means he believes in you. So, I will do the same and won't question you."
