Bloodbound Secrets

Roy woke up in the middle of the chaos, his body still tired from what had happened, but he felt something strange in the air… the smell of blood was strong. When he raised his head, he saw Norman's body lying on the ground, covered in ice and stab wounds, his open eyes staring into space.

He walked slowly, his heart pounding, then turned to Sebastian and asked in a voice filled with anger: "Is this the one who killed my mother?" Sebastian replied calmly: "Yes, but he is just a pawn in a bigger game."

Roy clenched his fist so tightly that his veins were about to explode, then he slapped the ground angrily as he shouted: "If this is just a pawn… then where is the king?!" But Sebastian did not respond, he just looked at him silently, as if testing him.

Bitterness and anger were gnawing at Roy's chest, he felt helpless, he felt that he was still weak. He turned to face Sebastian and said sternly: "Train me!" But Sebastian did not move, he just said coldly: "I am not ready yet."

In the Hokkaido Palace, Taiga sat on his throne, listening to a report of Norman being killed by Sebastian. He didn't get angry, but instead gave a cold smile and said, "So… they've finally started to move. Maybe it's time for me to step in myself?" He turned to one of his commanders sitting in front of him and said, "Get ready… I want to test this kid myself."

That night, Roy lay on his bed, his body exhausted, but he couldn't sleep peacefully. Suddenly, he found himself in a mysterious place, completely dark but he didn't feel afraid. In the midst of the darkness, a figure appeared in front of him sitting on a throne made of shadows, a terrifying aura emanating from him, making Roy unable to move.

The Dark King looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Do you want power?"

Roy's body was frozen, his heart was beating madly, but he could barely open his mouth and reply with a trembling voice: "I want… revenge…"

The Dark King smiled sarcastically and said: "Your body isn't ready to contain my power or anything else. The first thing we should do is make you older so that you can bear the power I'm going to give you. But remember… this power will devour your heart over time, take away your humanity, and destroy your mind… Will you accept that?"

Without hesitation, Roy raised his head, his eyes burning with anger, and said: "I don't care… I want power… I want revenge… and I want to meet my father again!"

The Dark King laughed a cold laugh, then said: "Alright then… I'll use my magic now to make you a twenty-year-old person, so that you can bear this simple power, not all of it. But know, Roy… there are other kings in this world, some of them stronger than me… Many secrets have yet to be revealed."

He stretched out his hand, and the dark energy began to surround Roy's body…
