"Being a stronger person is not just about strength, its about how you dominate the weaker ones."

Chapter 16: The Battle of Strongest
5 months left before the coronation...
Lermlock, North
"Welcome to lermlock." The guard greeted them with a tired look on his face, probably for guarding the gate 24 hours straight. He did not even bother to look at their identification cards, as he let them passed him nor question them as why ace is carrying a unconscious person. Well, kung sabagay malayo din mapansin ng guard na tao ito, dahil ibinalot nila ito sa sako.
Song who is expecting to see a bunch of people behind the big wooden gates, did not expect to see only a few civilians outside of their home. Kakaunte lang ang mga tao, making the capital silent. Isama mo pa ang mga makulimlim na mga ulap and sounds of thunder from the distance. Song thought that maybe because of the incoming heavy rainfall that caused people to stay indoors. Naagaw ang atensyon ni calton ng may narinig syang isang nakakaintrigang balita mula sa nagdadaldalan na citizen.
"Grabe, wala pa talagang nakakakuha ng spada, kahit ilang beses pa magtry si valdez walang nangyayare."
"Jeez, valdez did not succeed again?!"
"Yeah, ewan ko ba kung bakit gusto ng mga tao kunin yung spada na yun, I mean they can't even move it an inch from the ground, even after almost like seven years. Forever stuck na yun sa lupa, why can't they just accept that fact?"
"Eh, sabi kasi na kung sino man ang makatanggal ng spada na yun from the ground, they will be awarded generously from the king of lermlock! But they need to give him the sword in return."
"Nah, who needs that damn sword anyway? Money is much more important!"
Calton abrutly stopped walking when he heard this.
'Sword stuck to the ground?'
"Hmm, it will took around three days bago tayo makalabas ng lermlock, pero sa pag kakaalam ko nasa lermlock ang third ki---" song was cut off suddenly by calton.
"We are staying here for a couple of weeks. I'm more than 100 percent sure that the third king is located around here somewhere in lermlock." Calton said sternly, song raised one of her eyebrows at the sudden change of calton's attitude. Kanina para syang bored na bored, ngayon kala mo pupunta ng gera dahil sa sobrang pagkaseryoso ng mukha nya.
"Wait what?! Ano naman gagawin natin dit---" calton cuts her off again before song can finished her sentence. Song gives calton a piercing glare for interpreting her for the second time.
"All of you stay here, I'm going somewhere, I'm not sure how long it will take, but I'm guessing probably a week. Wait for me to come back, pero habang wala ako, simulan nyo na rin maghanap kung nasaan ang third king." Deon and Cleo stares at the king with a blank look on their faces while ace nods at him in understanding, he also heard about the sword, so he has an idea calton will go to that rumored sword at tignan kung ito ba ang nawawalang weapon nya.
"Pero pano kung wala naman dito sa capital ang th---"
"Then wait here until I return." Calton said to her, and with that he called to a pegasus nearby. Itinikom na lang si song ang kanyang bibig, calton is clearly in rush. Kung ano man ang dahilan, hindi na nya ito pinagtuonan ng pansin. She trust him enough. They watch calton hopped on the pegasus before the pegasus gallops to the sky until they vanished from the group of clouds.
