Sovereign of the Firmaments

"Young master"

"Family head."

As soon as they heard those words, they knew it was none other than Lucas as they respectfully called him.

"Looks like you are all having fun without me."

With a slight smile on his face, Lucas said to Beck and everyone as he continued, "The barrier will hold for another few minutes. Let's go inside."

There were a few things Lucas had to do before the barrier got destroyed. So, he urged everyone to enter the manor.

Since there were no deserters in his family, Lucas was satisfied with it; however, he didn't waste much time on such things.

"Young master, how did you enter the town when the barrier was still active?"

While entering the manor, Beck asked Lucas with a curious look on her face.

Not only Beck, Reece, Harper and everyone were waiting for Lucas's reply.

Until now, everyone was anxious about the evil spirit beast invasion; however, with the appearance of Lucas, they all felt relieved and forgot about the invasion.

"You will find out soon when we fight the evil spirit beasts."

Lucas replied with a mysterious smile; however, he didn't answer how he got into the town.

'...'

Beck and others were speechless at Lucas' words; however, they didn't ask as they knew that their master would not answer it anymore.

"Since we are inside the manor, let's do this."

As soon as they entered the manor, Lucas didn't waste any time and looking at Reece and Harper, he asked, "Are you willing to follow me until your last breath?"

Lucas didn't ask the same question to Beck because he already knew the answer to the question.

Moreover, if he asked the same question to Beck, it would only make Beck sad.

"Yes, master."

Even though they didn't know why their master was asking them about it right now, they didn't hesitate in replying to Lucas.

"Good."

Lucas nodded his head and continued, "Beck, Reece and Harper, close your eyes and don't resist."

Without asking any questions, they nodded their heads and closed their eyes.

'System, give the 'Sovereign Henchmen' titles to them.'

Finally, Lucas got to use the second effect of his 'Sovereign title' to his loyal followers.

Reece and Harper's current knight and mage talent were only at Viscount grade. So, with the help of the 'Sovereign Henchmen' titles, their talent will be enhanced to Duke grade and they would not have a problem in reaching Tier 5 higher knight and higher mage respectively.

'Swoosh'

Soon, Reece and Harper's bodies were covered by an orange glow as though they were getting enlightened by the heavens; however, only Lucas knew it was the doing of the Sovereign system.

'What is happening?'

'Are they getting enlightenment from the heavens?'

'But, it is happening only after the family head asked them to close their eyes. So, does that mean our family head is doing that?'

'How is it possible?'

Seeing the reactions of Reece and Harper, Porter and all the youngsters were looking at Lucas in a new light.

Even though they didn't know how Lucas was able to do that, they knew it was heaven-defying.

'Huh?'

However, Lucas frowned at Beck, who was not showing any signs of receiving the title.

'System, what is happening?'

Even though Beck had an Earl grade beast tamer talent, in front of Duke grade talent, it was nothing. However, Lucas didn't know why she was not covered in the orange light?

'Ding,

        Miss Beck is a system hostess. So, the host can't bless her with the title 'Sovereign henchmen' unless the host gets the acknowledgement of her system.

'What? How can you not know about it until now?'

When he heard the system's explanation, Lucas was shocked as he looked at Beck, who was still closing her eyes.

Lucas and Beck were staying in the same manor and even spending some time together daily. So, how could the system tell such big news only now?

'Ding,

      Currently, the system doesn't have the ability to find out the system hosts unless they lessen their guard when the system focuses on them.

'Ding,

      Also, the system suggests the host kill the system hostess and claim the system to upgrade the Sovereign system.

'Oh'

Lucas raised his brows when he saw the two system notifications.

'Kill Beck?'

Lucas didn't want to do it just to upgrade the system and the reason was simple, he knew that she loves him and will do anything to protect him.

'Does the system in  her knows about you?'

Nevertheless, Lucas thought of something and asked the system.

'Ding,

        No, for some reason, the 'Beast tamer system' in her was unable to detect my presence even when I tried to bless her with the title.

'Good. For now, let's not talk about it. Once we finish this invasion, I know what to do.'

Lucas heaved a sigh of relief as he already prepared a plan for Beck and depending on it, he would make a decision of what to do with her.

'Ding,

      As you wish, host. But, please be wary of the system hosts, as their systems can go to the extreme to get their hands on other systems.

Unlike the other systems that urge their hosts to do things, the Sovereign system was completely tamed by Lucas and didn't dare to give out the mission to kill Beck.

'Sure. I will take care of it.'

Lucas nodded his head before saying out loud, "Beck, you can open your eyes. I am unable to help you in increasing your talent."

'Increase talent?'

Beck was surprised as she looked at Reece and Harper, whose bodies were covered in orange coloured light.

Soon, the orange glow turned into red colour and it didn't stop there as it started turning brighter and brighter.

"Marquis grade talent?"

A red coloured glow implied Earl grade talent and the dark red colour meant Marquis. So, Beck was surprised and looked at Lucas.

"Haha… it is not the end."

Lucas revealed a light chuckle as he replied to Beck.

'What? Duke grade talent?'

Beck was shocked to the core when she saw the pitch-black coloured glow emitted by Reece and Harper.
