Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

It was already night, when Kai entered the dinning room.

The entire room has four wooden tables with four chairs beside each of windows and no other person was present in the room.

"Looks like I am the first one here and can only wait for the other"thought Kai and sat on left corner chair and tried to look outside but can't see anything due to absence of light making the outside view pitch dark and can only saw his reflection time to time on the window.

After waiting for ten more minutes and seeing nobody is coming. Kai stood up to enter the kitchen to ask if food his ready or not.

Only to find that dinner will not be served before 10pm and it has already been informed.

Hearing that Kai nodded and apologize to the cook for disturbing him and walked back to his room.

"So it turned out everybody already knew that dinner will be served late aside from me. According to cook it was announced, but I don't heared anything and Dilo also did not told him about it"thought Kai while walking and reached his room door and took out the key to unlock the door.

The academy has created three key for everyone room in the train. Which automatically get locked upon existing the room.

Means the door can only be open from inside and to open the door from outside a key is required.

Aside from the students staying in the room; a extra key is held by the teacher, in case of emergency.

Unlocked the door, Kai felt like he is going through deja vu.

A beautiful light grey hair maiden, whose upper body was covered with towel and rubbing her wet hairs with another towel; while Kai can completely see the outline of her voluptuous body and curves as her crystal blue eyes made contact with Kai eyes turning her entire face rosey red. 

On another hand Kai gently closed the door and stood out with a dull expression on his face. After one year of training with Dai Yusa, Kai mental strength have increased and can control his mind more efficiently but still can't get used to these situations.

"Is my luck really so bad"muttered Kai as he sighed.

"Don't tell me this maiden is Dilo. Why do I always have to encourage such problems associated with women. I don't have a single normal relationship without encountering awkward moment like this. Even my new friend turned out to be a woman"

After sometime Kai finally calmed down and knocked on the door.

"Can I come in now?"asked Kai 

But got no reply and door opened from inside. Letting Kai got in.

Following her, Kai sits down on the chair. On other hand, she sits on the chair across him.

The atmosphere was little tense and awkward as nobody took initiative to start the talk.

Finally it was Dilo who spoke first.

"Please, don't tell others. That I am a maiden body"while looking at Kai with eyes without any hesitation.

"Why?"questioned Kai.

Kai was really curious. Why is Dilo pretending to be a boy, despite being a beautiful girl and not to mention. He was not able to find any fault in her disguise, which is really something. He even smell, voice like women also his bone structure was also of man but now all of them have completed reversed. 

He can only say that Dilo is master in the art of disguise.

"What do you want to keep this a secret?"asked Dilo with a expression like she is almost about to cry.

It seems she had got me wrong. Just what is going on her head. Is she thinks I want to take advantage of her, because I know her secret now.

"Cough cough, Dilo don't misunderstand. I don't want anything from you, but curious why are you disguising as a man. To be more precise, what is your real identity? Don't tell me Dilo is really your real name"asked Kai look at Dilo who is lowering her head and trying to avoid eye contact with Kai.

After some of silent minutes, Dilo finally spoke up as she was feeling like she is a criminal, who got caught red handed and getting questions by the guards.

"It's... to.. inherited.. the.. throne..and.. become.. king"said Dilo with nervousness.

Seeing Dilo is getting nervous Kai stood of to get some water for her to drink and to lighten the mood.

After getting a glass of water and gave it to Dilo, before returning back to his seat.

After drinking the water. Dilo finally calm down a bit.

While Kai put his hands towards and asked Dilo with a smile"So, what is this inheriting the throne about?"

Atmosphere became a little serious again as Dilo hesitate to tell Kai, her real time identity and took a deep breath and finally spoke.

"I will tell you. But you must oath as the king of Buraford Kingdom that you will not take tell anyone about my secret to anybody"

Hearing that Kai nod.

For a king to take oath in the name of his kingdom is not something which can be done easily. Because if the oath is violate, it will effect the destiny and credibility of royal family.

But Kai was still curious and don't mind hidding some secret of Dilo.May be in future I can use it to get her inside my camp and there are various way to break a oath, like if the person himself or herself choose to reveal her secret. Kai can also feel this insecurity of her identity, is the case behind her timid personally.

This is the first time Kai is dealing with a women with such a type of woman. But her looks are not below any of the woman, he had meet till now and looking at her pitiful conditions. Kai feel a surge of emotions and want her to overcome her timid personality and wake proudly as a woman in the society instead of pretending to be a man.

To make that happen I must know her secret first, thinking so Kai made took a oath as the king of Buraford but before that Kai need to know her real name.

"Dilo, I am willing to take the oath but first tell me what is your real name. I can't take oath for a fake name"

Dilo nodded"It's Sophia Romand"

Just heard the name Kai got the idea. It's related to Romand kingdom royal family and compitition for throne.

Kai sighed bitterly in heart"Nothing good happens, when you are part of some royal family inner struggle. Ruining such a nice girl"

At this point Kai forgot that, he is the member of royal family of Buraford Kingdom and the relationship between the two royal family is really bad. Kai don't know the reason, but the hate between the two royal family has existed for many generations. But Kai cannot feel anything hateful feelings from her.

"I Kai Seft, king of Buraford Kingdom in the name of royal family,promise Sophia Romand that I will not reveal her secret of her being a woman unless she want it herself"said Kai and felt like some chains is connecting Kai to Sophia and got a glimpse of one of the end red chain connection to her chest and other is connected to Kai and it disappeared like it was nothing but a illusion.

"Red chain of destiny"

He had heard about it from his parents but it was the first time Kai saw them with his eyes. They are completely different from magic law and world laws which appears before him like silver and gold chains.

Seeing Kai took the oath Sophia felt relieved and look at Kai.

"Now my secret identity will be safe"

Thinking so she looked at Kai with complicated feelings.

"I have only know him for less than a day and he is willing to take a oath to keep my secret from getting found by others. Just want to do you want Kai Seft"

While looking straight into the eyes of Kai and with she proudly declared her real identity

"I am Sophia Romand, Princess of Romand Kingdom and only daughter of Pierce Romand, the king of Romand Kingdom and queen Iris Romand.

Next ruler of Romand Kingdom and currently studying of Chronos Magic Academy. A peak magic warrior stage expert"

Hearing 'Next ruler of Romand Kingdom' Kai almost laughted out.

"Just as I had thought her disguise as a man is really related with inheriting the throne"

Thought Kai as he looked at Sophia.

"Let me guess the reason, for your disguise as a man is because other nobles of your kingdom will not allow it because of the traditional that only males can become lead the kingdom"

Hearing Kai accurately guessing her problem. Sophia nodded"Romand Kingdom has traditional that only man's can become king and because I am a woman; I can't become the king. So Duke Derick Curry will become the king who is next in the line of inheritance after me and I had to marry him. But my father is against the traditional way of thinking and don't want Duke Derick to become king because of his greedy and rude personally,who treat others as tools for his political career. So father had to hide the fact that I am a girl.Forcing me to disguise as a man and telling me to join Chronos Magic Academy and create my own force which can help me, take control of the throne and reveal my identity as a woman only, when I secure my position as king and nobody will be able to oppose me"
