[3rd-person POV]
'She sure talks a lot,'
Eden mused as he approached the entrance to the chamber, which was located at the extreme end of the castle.
Only his father, saintess Olivia, and head maid Sarah are with him.
[Yeah, she chatted for five hours straight, and all that talking will make your mother want to die of shame.]
Edda responded to his words in his head, as she, too, was listening to stories about his mother.
'yeah'
Eden smiled as he recalled what she had told him about his mother. The most uptodate novels are published on n0velbjn((.))com
"All set, Eden, you can enter now" .
Olivia interrupted his thoughts by reminding him that he needed to get ready. He simply nodded and walked into the chamber.
The air within the hidden chamber was heavy with a whirling mist of mana.
The walls seemed to pulse with a faint blue glow, embedded with beautiful runes that emitted a calming radiance.
The air was thick with healing runes, a never-ending stream of energy that renewed and nurtured the body from within.
Eden sat in the midst of the room, his eyes closed in meditation.
Three individuals stood silently on the other side of the glass wall.
Eden's father and Duke of Morton, Aldric Morton, looked at him with emotionless eyes.
Olivia Sunhaven, Eden's aunt and a respected saintess of the Sun god Apollo, stood beside him.Her gaze was steady and observant, and her expression was a mix of amusement and melancholy.
Sarah, the Morton household's head maid, stood slightly away and stared at him calmly and collectedly.
The atmosphere within the chamber shifted as the minutes passed.
Eden hunched forward, his body heaving with each breath.He was barely conscious, but the mana core within him pulsed, signifying that he had completed his awakening.
'That was difficult,'Even though the pain was unbearable, he was pleased with himself for not screaming.
[Eden !]But before he could savor this new sensation, Edda yelled in his head, frightening him slightly.
'What?'
Eden inquired, as he was feeling uneasy at the urgency in her voice.
[Be prepared; your space-time affinity is about to awaken, and all I can say is that it will hurt like hell].Edda responded.
'What exactly do you mean?'
Before he could comprehend what Edda was saying, he felt time pause for a second and the space around him begin to shift, causing the entire chamber to collapse in an instant.
Just as that happened, he felt excruciating pain in his body.
"Arghhhhh...."
His agonizing scream split the air, filling the area with its power, before he passed out.
Olivia emerged almost instantly, supporting him, followed by Aldric and Sarah, their worried expressions evident.
"How is he?"
As Sarah approached Eden, Aldric inquired.
"Most of his muscles are torn, and his mana vines are damaged, but his life is not in danger."
Olivia's voice was a mix of relief and concern as she explained Eden's situation.
Aldric's attention was locked on his son; his brow furrowed as he took in the destroyed chamber and the unconscious boy within it.
"What the hell happened?" .
Aldric mumbled under his breath as he looked around at the wrecked chamber surrounding him.
